Video Recap

Today’s post is my way of trying to learn more about my readers and have my readers learn more about me with a very simple five question challenge. Here is how it is going to work. Below I am asking five basic blogging questions based around “Who, What, When, Where, and Why“where you can then leave a comment with a link back to where ever you have responded with your answers so next Monday I can create a mash up post with every-ones responses listed, and who knows maybe you might meet someone who becomes a friend for life.

Here are the questions!

• Who – inspires you to blog?
• What – is your long term goal for blogging?
• When – did you first decide to start blogging?
• Where – do you want to be in a year from now?
• Why – did you decide that a blog or the Internet was the place for you?

Here are my responses to these questions!

The person who inspires me to keep blogging is my son. He loves what I am doing and understands why I am doing it. It is funny, now that I am video posting he walks around the house pretending to be doing it himself with my old digital camera and talks the same way I do. He is only seven!

What my long term goal is, to be able to create a method of making money online that will replace my current professional income as a plumber. I have been a plumber for 15 years and it is time for a change in my life. I have been hurt 2 times working and I am just sick of it. Replacing my income does not have to be with this blog alone, it can be any means I can find on the Internet and affiliate marketing looks to be the most promising right now.

When I first decided to blog was last summer, I first wanted to try and find a way to make some extra money as being a full time single father I could not go after side jobs with in my profession and I was finding it hard to make ends meat with what I was earning only working 8 hours a day. I have since found out that there is a way (I have not found yet) to fully replace my income and I am working towards that goal. I also love the blogsphere and the people in it.

Where I want to be a year from now is simple, I want to be a full time web publisher and blogger.

Why I turned to the Internet as a potential source of income is because there is a massive amount of information online and all the tools I need are in one place for me to learn. I also turned to the Internet because it is a way for me to make extra money with out having to leave my family for tons of hours.

Now, if you want to take part in this challenge please leave a comment with the location to your answers to the questions so we can all find out a bit more about who you are and also I can then go and collect the information so I can post it here next Monday for everyone.

I look forward to reading everyones responses!
