From $0 to ?

My first post of my first blog.  Not exactly sure what to say here, but I'll give it my best shot.

First, Novice Moneymaker is my name because I have to keep my real name private.  My company has strict policies about outside employment.  So, rather than risk unemployment if anyone is to ever read this blog I have decided to make it a little bit difficult to figure out who I am. 

Second, this blog is all about money making opportunities.  These opportunities may exist on-line or in the real world.  I believe in using all available resources to my advantage, and you should too.  Because I believe in using all available resources to my advantage, my education and experience will play into what I attempt.  You may have a different skill set and expertise than I do (for example, I wll never be cooking to make money).  If that allows you to make money, then go for it.

Third, I am not much of a salesperson so I will not try to sell you on opportunities.  My goal is to share all of my experiences (success or failure) so you can learn as I learn.  I see a lot of blogs that share opportunities to make money, but it is clear they have not tried many of these opportunities themselves.  I think that is a shame because the shallowness of the blog is quickly obvious.  I want to provide the details of my experience and help you decide based on that experience.

Finally, the ultimate goal of my blog is to have fun.  If I find a way to make money and it becomes mindless or boring, I am not going to continue to do it.  I am not so much focused on making money as I am on having fun with this experiment.  

I hope you are able to learn from this blog, and please contact me at Novicemoneymaker@hotmail.com for any questions.
