Hey if you are new here, let me know you stopped by with a comment below!
This has been a good week. I did two more teeth whitenings and one of the health insurance policies I sold was approved. So In a day I made about $600 for 3 hours of work. If I could do that four times a week, I'd be getting somewhere!
I've hit a bit of a conundrum today. I made a plan to sell insurance during the day, teeth whitening a few times a week, and write evenings and on weekends. My schedule seems a bit different, I feel like I'm getting something done every day, but its not exactly in that order.
Insurance sales takes a lot of time. My goal has been to make 40 calls and write 4 quotes per day. I'm not really motivated to make the calls, but I've been averaging 2 quotes from 20 calls. I found that when I actually keep track of the amount of dials I make, I can push a little longer..just get to the next set of ten..before I take a break.
It's been a little dangerous though because I forget that when someone actually answers the phone, it will take a little longer than when someone doesn't. I was late for a movie date with my kids because I was trying to get to the next set of 10 before I left and someone picked up!
The problem in my schedule is that I didn't leave enough room for writing. My phone calls are most productive between 7 and 9. After which I need to run the quotes. So writing is taking longer.
I found that I'm spending my day answering personal emails, studying new topics, or writing news articles for the examiner. Part of my motivational trouble is that I recently discovered Hubpages. After publishing just 2 hubs, I had already made $1.67. That was more than I made publishing 20 articles for examiner.com!
Another thing about Hubpages, is that it is chocked full of great writers who have really cool subjects. I am spending a lot of time reading and commenting. I already found several crafts I'd like to do with the kids and if I know my kids, they will want to list them on Etsy.com before they are even complete.
One of the hubs I've been reading lists a whole bunch of ways to earn extra money. The very first one is to get a Hubpage, and I'm already a believer! He says that if you publish 3 random but good quality hubs every day, you should be making about $18k your second year. $18k is nothing to sneeze at, especially when it is doing something I love to do every day anyway!
I'm already writing that often in different venues, but it may be a challenge to write quality articles just for Hubpages and sell insurance and be a teeth whitener and volunteer and network. I'll keep you posted and let you know how I did.
