I do think that the internet and mobile marketing/advertising is here to stay for a while and working hard at it, I'm sure we can make a good income from that. I'm in a different position a bit, as I live in Spain. Many money making opportunities are not open to non-US residents and also, although I'm a webdesigner, I can't offer myself as such as I live too far away from civilization with a mobile internet connection that is really low due to being surrounded by mountains. Fair enough, that is the situation and so I thought, yes, blogging is a good steam of income, and the only other thing is writing articles for clients and I have already built up a niche for myself and orders for writing blog posts are coming in. The other thing I'm doing is writing for a couple of Q & R sites answering questions. And I can do that at my pace. We also moved to a little homestead where we grow our own food and can go foraging if we want to. Peace of mind - food and shelter is taken care of! Well, thanks for sharing your ideas and if we all share our ideas then I'm sure we can make ends meet in economically "strange" times!

I've been reading a lot about affiliate marketing, which has been somewhat successful for me. Also, I have been designing websites for people on the cheap and building up my portfolio so I can charge for the big bucks once I get out of school.

I struggled with freelance writing for a while and blogging for money but found that it was a very difficult market to break. A few months ago I started making money by going to yard sales and reselling the stuff I bought there on eBay, and it's gotten to the point where it's pretty lucrative. Not many people do it, either. I now blog about it on my website (link in my name). It's a great way to make money compared to a regular job, though I don't know how much I would be making if I went full time, hardcore. (I currently pull in roughly $500/week working weekends for the sales and errant weekdays for listing and fulfillment). I’m also an alternative income seeker.
