Work from Home challege.

I used to run a semi full time business freelancing at web design and fixing PC's. HTML has changed a few times since I did the design side though I'm still excellent at photoshop. I'm also still very good at fixing PC's/electronics though i'm not a qualified electrician so I stuck to the tech. Then my housemate left suddenly, and suddenly I had to get a real job to keep the rented roof over my head. Five/six years later, I've got a mortgage so the real job wasn't all bad but I miss the money and freedom from a business, was thinking half and half and slimming the work days down by one day, every five years, one goes up the other goes down etc. Trouble is I'm so busy I never have the time to start up again. It's old fashioned word of mouth that works, you get it about you're good, do a few free jobs, I always used to say no fix no fee, then fix it 99% of the time. Get a name and reputation and it just snowballs.

PC market is declining rapidly but most people still have one. What I should do is make it a 2014 resolution to market myself in the new town I live in, do a few next to nothing jobs and start up again. You get 3 or so months before you have call it official. Sole Trader suits me! It's so easy just to sit back go to work and not bother, imagaine if you did bother and made that extra effort and suddenly 4, 3 day week at work... I've got to commit and set targets for progress!

I would like to join this challenge, I currently earn about £100-150 a month from Google Adsense and Youtube videos and yes it does take a long time to get off the ground and you should work hard to create something useful and entertaining and then it will become a passive wage
