A Report on Progress So Far

When creating this blog a month ago, my objective was to find ways to generate more revenue, focusing on three major areas: real estate investment property, tax lien certificates and eBay. I dedicated specific time in my schedule where I would focus on these strategies, such as an hour in the morning before getting ready for work and at least 1/2 day during the weekend.

So far only eBay has shown results. I've now sold four items, including an autographed book for $100! I have many more things to put up for sale that I haven't posted yet, but have focused on books so far since it's so easy to put them up. The next step on tax liens is to actually attend some auctions (maybe some of this can be done online?). As far as buying investment property, with all the recent publicity about the housing market, seems like this will be more difficult unless I pick my locations carefully.

I have also followed several other personal finance blogs, many which I talk about here. It's encouraging to learn from others who are on the same path.

My blog updates lately have been less frequent, but I'm trying my best to keep at it, even if my posts are brief. Sometimes life gets in the way, but I'm doing my best to make sure I do something every day to generate revenue. Since I've been putting up items on eBay for three day auctions, it's important to keep adding new items regularly since not everything will sell.
