Before you can even begin to think about turning a side business into a full time venture you first have to clear the decks of unnecessary expenses. It's easy to accumulate them when you're on a regular salary, but a business is different. Along the same line, removing the clutter will probably help you to think more clearly, and that's just as important. Forest – Yes, I think that’s a big key.

I blog full time now with a little web design on the side and am much happier for it.

I mean.. Even getting the most rudimentary job has been one of the biggest challenges for me. Before the economic recession of 2008 hit, I managed to get a job by just pulling to a temp agency and voila! Employed. I must have handed out hundreds, if not, a good thousand or two resumes since then and nobody, not even the temps, would take me in. I figured instead of wasting my time to wait to be fed scooby snacks, I'm trying self employment alternatives. I got fantastic landscaping and computer repair skills under my belt if I never need to sell or barter that skill, and now I'm getting into blogging and social media. Between that and investing; I think I may very well thrive during these employee-unfriendly times. .-= Aury (Thunderdrake)´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.thunderdrake.com/blog/how-to-train-your-dragon-the-review/" rel="nofollow">How To Train Your Dragon – The Review</a> =-.

My first job out of college was like that. They didn't pay me a living wage an I had to keep side jobs. They confronted me on it, but I told them flat out that they weren't paying me enough to live on one paycheck. Unless you're doing something that negatively affects your employer I don't know why this would be an issue, especially in a low pay situation.

My previous job had a clause in our contract that any funds we made 'moonlighting' had to be put back into the company (non-profit). I found that to so ridiculous, because our pay was so low that most of us had to moonlight speaking, writing, or coaching to make it. Side jobs can provide such meaning. I loved coaching so much. Side jobs also help to make easier transitions when you are let go! My wife has a budding photography business that is our fall back plan in case of job loss or sale of the business. .-= Ted´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FatBrokeAndDepressed/~3/bFLCRKtveRk/shame-of-debt.html" rel="nofollow">The shame of debt</a> =-.

Thanks for commenting, and from the points you made I can tell that you've done this before. I've used the postcard idea for mailers, and you're absolutely correct, it's the the most cost-effective way to market by mail.
