Getting Closer To Catching Riley

*Sigh*. No, I'm not yet close to getting my music out yet, but a way to become financially independent is. Well, one good thing is that I do have a publishing contract for a series. My first book will be out in October. Instead of endlessly searching for things to do to make money, I have focused on three things:

• Writing(my publisher+ Kindle, Smashwords and other websites like them)
• Teaching(online)
• Crowdfunding

 So, I am hoping by the end of next month to be debt free, and therefore able to purchase the software and equipment I need to get my music online and heard by millions of people. So, you will hear from me once more this month, and will hear the final verdict next month. Will I have caught Riley? Will I finally be able to just wake up every day and work at home? Stay tuned and find out....

A Riley Update

Well, trying to raise the money on our own is taking a long time, so we've decided to try crowdfunding to get the equipment that we need. I've read a lot of stories in my local newspaper about people having success with it, so I believe crowdfunding will get us there faster.
Still working on my contracted books, and books for Kindle and other platforms. I'm trying to teach myself to write fast, but distractions are everywhere and it's hard to focus. If I want to reach my goal this year, I must try harder, and I will.
Then, I am also trying other ways to earn money, but as I said it is slow. I hope to make a breakthrough this month so I can finally relax and do what I've always wanted to do. So, since I'm so busy, I can't promise another post in June. I'll post once a month to let you know of my progress. I'm getting closer to catching Riley, I can feel it!

One Step Closer To Riley.....

There is so much confusion about earning money online. That is why people scream scams and don't believe that you can make anything on the Internet. Those people are wrong. I have made money online, not enough to quit my  j.o.b. but,  I have a plan to get me past the first step on to the next. What is my plan?   Kindle Publishing. I've read a lot about it, have made a little money with it, but there are so many things I need(music supplies and equipment) not to mention the basics. I've listened to at least six if not more Kindle publishing webinars. I've read ebooks, and listened to a video course. So this month I'm finally putting this plan into action. If I succeed, then I will be one step closer to Riley. Will I be the next Amanda Hocking? I don't know, maybe. I'm not that silly to think I could achieve that within a month. All I'm looking for is some financial relief and that's nowhere near what Amanda Hocking has. I'll let you know in May....and then, when I make it,  I will reach for the stars.
