If I were in your situation, I would offer immediate services AND start a niche site/blog on the side about something you have a passion for like cooking as an example (very affordable, all you need to start is a domain name and hosting account). Down the road you would need more to grow the business but that is a great way to start. It does take time to learn though so if you don't have extra time, I would go with offering services.


Funny thing is I have a self-hosted blog that I paid for back in August or September I haven't touched in months since I got busy with school. I really need someone to critique my blog and need to get organized . I have read books and read training material on how to market it but now I feel very left behind since I haven't touched it in so long.

Could you critique it for me since you have a blog/

Thank you guys for all of your suggestions. I have decided to try to change my attitude and stick it out with Beachbody. I will find out in a few months if this business is truly for me I have a lot to work on though.

My interests are education, children, food, saving money, and helping others.

I am with Beachbody and considering giving it up since I feel like I have lost my drive for it. I am not considering another fitness business though.
With today's economy the way it is, I wouldn't promote anything that costs to start up. MLM and business opportunities have gone by the wayside.

Try something that helps people make money without investing money. let the money come from Big companies, not from other members or the sales of an mlm product or service.

Just my advice.

I agree that getting your blog going again can be a great idea. That can open some doors. Plus as others have said, you can sell products online or do affiliate marketing. If you can get traffic to a page, thats half of the battle.
