Great week for business!

Hey, everyone!
I truly hope that you have had a great week in your business and that you have reached all of the goals that you have set for yourself!

If you're like me, the struggle has always been more about time than money, though money is an issue sometimes too. By that I mean, when you are doing work for a client, you have to trade time for money in most cases.

So you just have to find the best way to use your work time to maximize your results. I love the freedom I have to set my hours for myself with whatever works for me. Personally, like most "classic writers," (and I do consider myself in that crowd, theoretically), I work best at night. So I could actually do all of my work at night if I wanted to, leaving the day to do what I want!

But instead, what I do is work out a "tentative" schedule that is always open to change if I want to do something at any time. But I put down the general times I do the work so that I will add some structure to an otherwise structureless environment. ha

I made my goal of around $180 per day this week. I have made as much as $387 in one day writing and even higher, but it drains me if I write that many articles all day long. I like to sprinkle other tasks and activities among the writing so that I have more flexibility in my schedule. The $180 per day translates to $1000 per week or more and over $4,000 per month, on average if I also do some on Saturday. I actually don't have to have that much money, but I am driven to make a lot so that I will have a reserve and pay off my debts so that I can have more free time down the road.

You need to work on your passive income too, authors. Ebooks, audiobooks, videos, and other things like eCourses are great ideas to set up your cash cows for the future.

One thing's for sure, my writing muses, Edgar Poe or Will Shakespeare didn't make the kind of money I'm making writing. They would have loved to have been rewarded for their efforts that way, I'm sure. Will was pretty well off due to his deal with kings and the royalty but Edgar died in poverty. And he was a genius! It's all about the market.

I am now selling around 2 audiobooks per day, and the audiobooks seem to sell better than my eBooks. I currently have all of my eBooks available as audiobooks as well now.

I am also working on my multimedia production list and hope to finish updating this soon to include the upcoming projects that I'll be working on at Small Town Global USA.

I try to keep the blog posts fairly short to let you know what's going on and I'll also announce when we plan to do another live video webcast or podcast so you can tune in.

In the meantime, be sure to listen to the 24/7 internet radio station (to be updated soon).

Remember as an entrepreneur, you are the captain of your own ship so look out for icebergs and keep looking ahead for the harbor!

You'll make it!
