As many of you are doing, I’m thinking about my 2011 goals. I am trying to think of additional ways to make passive income, in addition to real estate, so I can leave my job next year. So, I’m still working on the Financial Freedom GPS program, as well as watching the videos for the new divamoneyclub.com website. This passive income site (for Divas and Divos!) is yet another timely thing that has come into my life as I’m searching for my way out of Corporate America. Check it out, if you have the chance.
And interestingly, or coincidentally, over the past couple of months I’ve thinking of moving this free blog to a one where I can advertise, something mentioned on the divamoneyclub.com site. I already have a “webuyhouses” site and also one for which has tons of grants and free info regarding buying your first home. The former I don’t advertise on (the Adsense ads that populated were other “we buy houses” sites), the latter generates some decent Adsense money, enough to pay for the site and some extra, but I really need to monetize more.
Any advice for monetizing this blog? Should I move it to WordPress.org or Blogger? I know pretty much everyone prefers WordPress, but I’d love any and all opinions here! And whatever is the “simplest” way to transition it, that’d be great!
On the REI front, we didn’t get the 3 family we bid on… the seller wanted too much. Although it still was a deal, but we always want a bargain! And we’ve had a couple of appointments to view rentals over the past couple weeks but they’ve been cancelled/rescheduled a few times due to tenant notice and my ridiculous work schedule. I swear, this job gets in the way of all my side ventures! LOL!
Happy Holidays and Investing!

Thanks for the DivaMoneyClub.com mention! As far as your blog is concerned, I strongly recommend WordPress. You’ll have tons of great plug-ins and the migration will be simple. I remember when Julie was all nervous about making the migration earlier this year but it was no problem at all.
Dang Shae beat me to it!
I was going to say the same exact thing she said lol
I would definitely recommend wordpress too and there are soooo many great plug-ins to use (plus you know a lot of folks already that are on wordpress and can even recommend such plug-ins.)
And it was pretty simple going from my old site to wordpress…
So def recommend wordpress. Good luck!
Thanks for the shout out on your sidebar. Shae is correct, WordPress is by far the best platform for blogging. Many great free themes and many inexpensive one’s as well.
I would beg you – FOCUS!
What do you want to be, a real estate investor or pro-blogger who makes money off his blog. If you are just getting started at either I would advise that you focus solely on one or the other. As someone who knows the power of focus (and also the lack of it), I would tell you that you will get so much further if you simply focus!
Please don’t take this as dream-killing – its simply my .02.

You’re welcome for the mention!
Seems like everyone likes WordPress, so that may be the best option. I just hope the transition is easy. I’m fairly tech-savvy, but I’m no guru! Thanks for the advice!
