Skills that other people lack, and thus are willing to compensate you for." This is the key line and maybe they aren't skills picked up on the internet. I work from home and do much of my work by e-mail. Using skills I learned in my old working out of the house employment. The trickiest part about working out what you can do as a self-employed person is giving your skills value: Identifying what skills you have. <i>Realizing</i> that other people lack those skills. And then working out what they are willing to pay for them. Even harder is that sometimes they are willing to pay a lot more than you thought for them and you have to work on feeling okay about that and not underselling yourself. I think because some of our skills seem so natural to us, we don't realize that they are special. Looking forward to the rest of this series (and must deal with changing my feed reader because a few of these were not coming through).

I just added you to my favorites so that I can come back and read some more. I read a book on blogging and how to make money from it. I can't say that is my goal but a little extra cash is always nice. Maybe someday.....

I've been actually wondering about this lately. Things are tight, as usual, and I'm trying to find some ways to supplement Greg's salary without having to leave the house every day. Or babysitting someone else's kids. So NOT into that.
