Hi Miguel, I’ a Psychology major at a Christian University, so I can relate to writing hordes of papers!

So many new writers want to know how to break into a field or market. The answer from the pros is always “Just write”. There is no easy way. You just have to put in the hours and write everyday.

Thanks for stopping by. We’ll start with the first OBS tip on Monday.

Impressive, I like the idea of forming a group. Our goals and dreams in life will only come at a heavy price. I’ve developed my writing throughout college because as a theology major we constantly had to write papers. William Zinsser says, “The only way to learn to write is to force yourself to produce a certain number of words of a regular basis.” He’s right, my experiences have proven these words, at least in my case.

Hey Wendi! I am so glad you got Online Business School!

LOL, I So wish I was helping to sell OBS! It’s just a regular old link, no affiliate, just unadulterated promotion for a good product.

The group will be for ANY OBS owner. I have a few tips already written up and will post more as the program progresses, and thought OBS students would benefits and might like to share what they are learning, thinking, struggling with.

I’ll add you to the “list:”.

Hi Jamie, I have my Online Business School already. Spent most of yesterday listening to the Affliate Marketing section and will probably go over it again today and mark out a plan. I don't know if you only meant to get together a group from people who ordered from you, (which would be fine) but if your group is open ended, I would be interested in joining up with an OBS mastermind type of group.

"If you are willing to work hard, step out of your comfort zone, read until your eyes burn, and type until your fingers bleed, you can make money writing. But you have to be willing to go that far." Check. "Making money requires marketing, promotion, analysis, networking, planning. You need to know about branding, self-promotion, buzz words, social media, advertising, website coding, time management, organization, taxes, business law, communication, how to handle difficult people, setting goals, making a business plan….. and a whole slew of other universal and niche business principals. If you want to make money from your writing, your writing becomes your business. Treat it accordingly." I can do better. I entered the contest yesterday. Thanks for the reality check, Jamie.

That is the ultimate question, Lance. If you don’t want it bad enough, it’s just a waste of time and money.

Pray about it. The answer will come.
