Blogging as a Business: Growing a Six-Figure Blog

TWO RANDOM BUT VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS TIPS…

I operate on the business principle that you should give FAR way more away for free than you sell. I think that leads my readers to be more likely to buy from me when I do sell something since I’ve built a relationship with them and generously give a lot my work away for free! It took me 4 years to really figure out my product/service. During that…

We often associate hefty salaries with corner offices, scalpels and law degrees – but it turns out you can pull in a pretty penny working outside the financial, medical or legal fields. In fact, writers, elevator installers and art teachers are just a few of the professionals who surprisingly can score six-figure paychecks.

Forbes combed through data gathered annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a division of the Labor Department, to find the 20 most surprising six-figure jobs. The BLS culls its information from surveys it mails to businesses, and it releases its Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates Data each spring. The report shares information about more than 800 occupations, including hourly and annual wages, total numbers of workers in the profession, and the states and metro areas that pay the best. To make the cut for our list, at least 10% of employees in the profession had to earn more than $100,000 a year.

A. Gov. Perry responsible for job growth in Texas? Former Governator and Gov. Brown responsible for jobs gains in California? or B. How about the companies that did the hiring because they needed more workers and their customers are happy with them or want their product/service! If you chose A. you are ready to move into the state of self-denial of facts to satisfy what you want to be true. If you chose B., welcome back to reality or congratulations on not being sucked in by folks who want to sell you futures and pasts that will and have never existed so they can pick you pocket while they are getting you to take eye off of reality? Grin. Good for employers in California - you still got a ways to go but you are getting there!
