I thought my life was over when I was laid off from my job in the earlier part of 2011. That happened right after I found out I was pregnant with my son. It was devastating news to my husband since I was earning a huge bulk of our household income.
For years, I researched how to make money from home because I didn 't want to go back to work once my son was born. Although I lost money in the process of staying off work, I experienced a certain peace of mind that I did not get from commuting to work every morning.

Although there is a lot of traffic coming to Fiverr, you always want to make sure that you are promoting your services or gigs (as they are called on the site.)

One of the other ways you can quickly make money while you are waiting to generate income from your blog is to start freelancing on a site called Upwork (formerly known as Elance). I must admit that I haven 't worked on this site in about 3 years after my first job. I allowed a negative situation with a client to keep me from working on Upwork. However, I believe this is a great site for finding small jobs that will give you some money faster than waiting on your blog to start turning a profit.
Ebooks
Writing informational ebooks in conjunction with working on your blog can not only bring you more awareness to you site, but it can also help you monetize your blog right away. For instance, if you are an expert at knitting and have created a blog on this subject you can sell ebooks on how to sell your knitting projects at craft fairs. If you plan on using Amazon to publish your ebook you can include links back to your blog or products if you are selling your projects. Don 't just publish one eBook, publish several until you reached your desired
