For a change, Arizonans are getting some good news on immigration. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the state cannot deny driver's licenses to young unauthorized immigrants whom the federal government has given protection from deportation and permission to work.
It may seem puzzling that any state would want to punish a group of college students and military veterans who have passed federal background checks, have working papers and Social Security numbers and prevent them from driving legally. Without licenses, these young people often cannot get to work. But there is no explaining the vindictiveness that Arizona's Republican-led political establishment reserves for immigrants and those with immigrant roots, especially Latinos.
The state, a stronghold of the Minuteman border-vigilante movement and home to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, is a cauldron of immigration extremism, of civil-rights investigations, policing abuses and racial discrimination lawsuits.
In that context, it was no surprise that President Obama's decision two years ago to temporarily halt the deportations of young immigrants known as Dreamers, who were brought here without permission as minors, did not go over well in Arizona. The program was a modest attempt to humanize immigration policy, since a broader overhaul was throttled in Congress. But it was not acceptable to Gov. Jan Brewer, who issued an executive order forbidding driver's licenses for Dreamers. The state transportation department responded by refusing to accept Dreamers' federally issued employment-authorization documents.
The appeals court said it could see "no legitimate state interest" in discriminating against a group of nearly 19,000 Arizonans, noting that the state routinely allowed other noncitizens with identical work-authorization documents to get Arizona licenses.
There is, of course, no explanation for Ms. Brewer's policy other than spiteful politics, which takes any opportunity — like the child-refugee crisis at the border — to attack the president and fan the flames of nativist resentment. It's a relief whenever the courts and the groups that challenged the executive order, including the National Immigration Law Center and American Civil Liberties Union, manage to keep Arizona on the right side of the law.

London Calling - My Eclectic List of Things to Do
London is terrific in the fall. The tourist crowds of summer have dissipated, making it easier to see attractions and the weather is perfect for walking around. The city's old trees are bursting with fall colours, and the parks are stunning. I spent 14 days in London this September exploring everything it has to offer and crossing off some bucket list items (like riding on the top of double-decker bus). Most people were surprised at what I didn't visit on vacation (think Buckingham Palace, London Eye, and Tower of London). Here's my eclectic list of my top favourite things to do.
Kew Gardens
People give me funny looks when I say that Kew Gardens was my favourite thing from my trip. Kew Gardens is a botanical garden that houses the largest and most diverse plant collections in the world with over 30,000 different species of plants growing in nurseries and glasshouses. It's a magical, breathtaking place. The UNESCO World Heritage Site designation is not surprising, and it's made significant contributions to botany and ecology. I only had about three hours to visit, but in hindsight, I'd suggest spending the whole day wandering this 300-acre wonderland. There is so much to see.
London will educate you on what makes world-class museums as the city is full of them. Even with two weeks available to me, I only saw four. My favourite is the Tate Modern, the place to see large scale modern art installations that are mindblowing. Where else could you see a giant pendulum swinging in Turbine Hall? The new Blavatnik Building has an observation deck that gives you the best views of London for free.
Barbican Centre and Estate
If you are a fan of brutalist architecture, then the Barbican Centre and Estate are a must. I loved wandering the Estate and discovering the grand architectural details. The Barbican Centre is the largest performance art centre in Europe so make sure to take in some art (and the Banksy) while you are there.
Leadenhall Market
London is full of architectural gems, and Leadenhall Market is a standout. It's one of the oldest markets in London dating back to the 14th century. This covered market is so old world, and as someone who hasn't traveled to the UK or Europe much, I was stunned by the ornately decorated Victorian building.
Portobello Market
Vintage shopping in London is incredible. I wasn't expecting it to be a mecca. After spending an afternoon visiting Portobello Market, I kicked myself for not planning more shopping. There are a ton of shops and even more stalls lining the street. It's a smorgasbord of vintage from high end to low end. Where else could I pick up an adorable 70s dress for £2? Be sure to stop by Pedlar's Cafe for coffee.
Monument to the Great Fire of London
Do you love great views of the city and claustrophobic spiral staircase? Then The Monument to the Great Fire of London is right up your alley. The Monument (as it's known) was completed in 1677 and built on the site of the first church that burnt down in the great fire of 1666. Visitors climb the 311 steps to reach the top of the 202 ft tall structure which boasts a magnificent 360 degree view of the city centre. Grab the ticket deal that includes The Monument and Tower Bridge for £15.
I'm a fan of the beautiful game, and I had to see it in a country that takes it very, very seriously. I traveled to Brighton to see my friend's team, and it lived up to all my expectations. The crowd and energy were like nothing I've ever seen at a sporting event. There are lots of teams in the city to choose from but just remember which team's section you're sitting in.

Stimulus, Scaling, and The Desire to Improve
By: Coach DP
Coaching the last few years has allowed me to pay more attention to the internal decision making of athletes when it comes to scaling weights and movements in a workout. Whether we are talking picking a heavier load than we probably should have, scaling down a movement that we are more than capable of, pacing ourselves a little too much, or taking a break mid cycle. There are hundreds of these little conversations we as athletes have during a class. It's become a favorite part of my job, watching all of you have those conversations with yourselves.
It is important to remember that each workout that is programmed has a specific stimulus that the programmer is trying to achieve with each one of us. A simple example is the time domain of a workout. There are three general energy systems in the body, each one of these systems has a time domain that they apply to. So when a coach is programming a two minute sprint or a 15 minute cycle, not only are the time domains very different, but the stimulus to the body and energy system used are changed as well.
Scaling is what makes CrossFit beautiful, and what makes it universal and accessible. The example I always hear regarding this is the deadlift. It is a movement that is just as important to my grandma as it is to the Lions new offensive tackle, Greg Robinson. The only difference between the two is scale. Both of these humans need to be able to lift things off of the floor. For grandma, it's the bag of groceries that has all of the ingredients for a delicious 4th of July pie in it (fingers crossed for strawberry rhubarb). For Greg, it might be 500lbs for reps, preparing for the upcoming season protecting Matt Stafford. In both examples, the movement is the same……. It's a…….. hip hinge! Yes, good job for those of you who got it. If you didn't, stop reading and do 15 burpees. J
What I'm trying to get at, is that as coaches and programmers, our mission is to have each one of you get the same, intended stimulus from the workout that day. I know that at Reviver we don't use the term "RX'd" very much but doing what is written on the board, as it is written, can and should be a goal for some athletes. Competition with yourself is fantastic, and the desire to improve makes coaching fun for me. But don't forget about the stimulus. Don't let the goal of doing exactly what is written on the board turn 45 seconds of work with 1:15 rest into 1:30 work with 30 seconds rest. By the same token, don't shy away from a little more sweat than you are used to, or a movement that you are right on the cusp of mastering. Growth comes from struggle and the grind sharpens the axe.
As a coach I'm here to provide the context on what this workout should feel like. I'm here to arm you with the tools to make the right decisions for movements and loads. Use us coaches to ask questions, to see if maybe we can try taking a band off the pull up bar this time, or move from a 14# wall ball to a 20#. My challenge to you is to know your fitness and attack workouts appropriately within that. The trick is using scaling to lock into that stimulus that the coach described and run with it.

PEOPLE POWERED POLITICS - We Got a Raise!/
Sarah McCormick has been a courtesy clerk at the Crossroads QFC for 14 years. She has always been eager to help out her fellow co-workers. When I-1433 was on the ballot, to raise the State's minimum wage, she was quick to join in that fight.
Knowing that the statewide initiative would directly affect her and her co-workers, she worked hard to support the Initiative. During the first week in January when she saw her union Rep in the store she yelled "We did it! We helped everyone earn a little more money!" After seeing first-hand the power of collective member action, Sarah is getting more involved in other activities with her union and is working on becoming a union Steward.

You are here
Life University got a taste of life in the College Premier League Sunday
when they met Navy in Charlotte. The Running Eagles won the encounter
31-17, but unlike many of their non-CPL collegiate matches, this one was
tightly contested.
Life jumped out to an early 10-0 lead (business as usual), but Navy rebounded to close the gap at 10-7. The Running Eagles would slot a penalty to take a six-point lead into halftime and score first again in the second stanza to extend their lead to 20-7, but Navy again responded with a converted try. Life outscored the Midshipmen 12-3 the rest of the way, but Navy made the Running Eagles work for everything they got, something they haven't often had to do.
"It was a great match for us. It's good for the group," said Life coach and director of rugby Dan Payne. "We haven't been able to find a match with our peers yet that could really push these guys, and it was nice to get that today. They definitely got that from Navy today."
Life, this being their first season fielding a fully undergraduate side, have a lot of youth, including eight freshman starters against Navy.
"They got a chance to play, and we're still getting patient with the ball and learning that it's safer to play another phase than try to score on that immediate possession if you have a line break," said Payne.
"We know that the truth is we're a young team and we've got a lot of growing and improving to do and everybody in our program knows that we're not quite up to the hype yet. It's a process. It's a long-term plan. It's just year number one, and we've got to go through these types of experiences."
If winning 32-17 over a solid CPL program is an experience Life has to "get through", perhaps the hype is warranted. When pushed to say something glowing about his team's performance, Payne talked about the play of his young front row.
"I was really happy with our scrum. Our loosehead, hooker and tighthead were all freshmen, 18 and 19 year old kids, and I know coach Mike Flanagan always has a strong scrum and I was nervous about that, not sure how we would step up, but we were able to provide a good enough platform and won enough ball to do some things with it."
Up next for both Navy and Life are their March 5 debuts in the upstart College Premier League. The Midshipmen prep for Ohio State and Life for Tennessee.

Squirrels again!
November 17, 2007
The lead article in this edition of The Nuttery cites an European study http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/12/061222093058.htm which claims that red squirrels have population explosions timed to take advantage of bountiful nut harvests. In other words they predict the boom year and have extra litters to exploit the resource. Scientists are still scratching their heads about how they do this, but there was no mistaking the huge increase in the number of red squirrels underfoot two summers ago. The population had settled down considerably by this fall's stingy harvest.
Good riddance to them, and to chipmunks, too, if they would ever leave.
Over the last two years, on the other hand, my esteem for grey squirrels has increased steadily. While they may not be psychic like their red cousins, they show amazing adaptibility and a strong work ethic. I've already mentioned how they changed their harvesting tactics due to the demise of the old coyote and the presence of Zeke, the local red-tailed hawk. They stayed on the ground this fall until the day after Zeke flew south, and then they took to the trees with a vengeance.
Perhaps the current wolf became the target of a bored deer hunter, because now the greys have discovered my new walnut seeds. They started at the corner near the large trees and have worked their way into the field about forty feet. Another individual is picking the outer row off quite methodically, most likely using the posts and burned patches from Roundup to help him find the nuts. So it's Elmer Fudd time again. My choices seem to be to:
1. ignore the losses and plant more nuts;
2. fence the squirrels away from the seeds;
3. shoot or poison the little demons;
4. find a way to gross them out.
Years ago I found the easiest way to get rid of fish entrails in the country was to find a convenient woodchuck hole and drop everything down the vertical chute. The chucks didn't like this. They kept moving away until I ran out of holes within walking distance of my fish-cleaning bench.
When emptying ancient squirrel nests from the soffits of my mother's house two summers ago I was struck by the cleanliness of the nesting material. Unlike mice, greys seem very fastidious in their personal habits. Maybe I can use this to my advantage.
If I can introduce a substance around the new plantings which the squirrels find repugnant, maybe they'll leave the seeds alone.
Fresh cow manure would be my first choice as it is in good supply in my area, has benefits as a fertilizer, and is unlikely to attract racoons and coyotes in the manner of fish entrails. Mind you, neither of the above eat walnuts, and they have been known to munch on the occasional squirrel. Hmmm.
The outer two rows of the field seem to be the most vulnerable to predation. That would be seventy forks-full of green, gooey stuff. Will it work? Will it last? Of course it would be a lot quicker just to plant another fifty nuts to fill the gaps, but that didn't work two years ago or last year, and the other patches still have few trees in the outer rows.

Israel Strikes Hamas Targets in Gaza After Soldier is Ambushed, Shot

Israel Strikes Hamas Targets in Gaza After Soldier is Ambushed, Shot
Israel struck Hamas targets in Gaza after an IDF soldier was ambushed, shot and wounded near the border, The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday.
Following the ambush, Israel targeted seven Hamas sites with tank and artillery fire. Three members of Hamas's Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades were reported killed in those strikes.
In response, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades warned, "Israel will pay in blood for its latest crimes."
Nine rockets were fired towards Israel from Gaza after the Israeli strikes. One was intercepted by Iron Dome and the others fell in open fields.
The rockets set off alarms in southern Israel, sending residents of three communities in the Eshkol region to bomb shelters at 5:30 Thursday morning.
The ambush came four days after Staff Sgt. Aviv Levi was killed in a similar incident in the same area, when a group of 20 youth started rioting violently about 400 yards from the border fence. When the IDF soldier attempted to break up the riot, a sniper who had hidden inside the group, shot and wounded the soldier.
After surgery, the soldier, who had been shot in the torso, was reported to be in moderate condition.
In Speech and Op-Ed Pompeo Condemns Religious Persecution in Iran
United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday called the religious leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran "hypocritical holy men," who amassed a fortune while ordinary Iranians are suffering extreme hardship.
"Sometimes it seems the world has become desensitized to the regime's authoritarianism at home and its campaigns of violence abroad, but the proud Iranian people are not staying silent about their government's many abuses," Pompeo said in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.
America's top diplomat made the remarks in a week in which the Trump administration seeks to highlight religious freedom around the world and brings together faith leaders for a three-day summit in Washington, which ends Thursday.
Writing in an op-ed for USA Today on Tuesday, Pompeo slammed religious persecution in Iran making a case of Mohammad Salas, a member of the Iranian Gonabadi Sufi dervish community, a faith group viciously persecuted by the mullah regime.
Salas last month was convicted and sentenced to death on questionable charges following violent clashes between Iranian authorities and Gonabadi dervishes. He was allegedly tortured into a confession and hanged in the notorious Rajai Shahr Prison on June 18.
"Hundreds of Sufi Muslims in Iran remain imprisoned on account of their beliefs, with reports of several dying at the hands of Iran's brutal security forces. The religious intolerance of the regime in Iran also applies to Christians, Jews, Sunnis, Baha'is, Zoroastrians, and other minority religious groups simply trying to practice their faiths," Pompeo observed.
Three UK Jewish Papers Run Unprecedented Joint Editorial Condemning Corbyn's Anti-Semitism
Asserting that the election of a Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour Party into power in the United Kingdom would pose an "existential threat" to the Jewish community in the UK, the three leading Jewish newspapers ran a shared editorial titled "United we Stand," on Wednesday.
In the jointly authored editorial, The Jewish News, The Jewish Chronicle and Jewish Telegraph explained that the decision to join forces was "because the party that was, until recently, the natural home for our community has seen its values and integrity eroded by Corbynite contempt for Jews and Israel."
After years of "alarming lows" between the Corbyn-led Labour Party and the Jewish community, the incident that prompted the three papers to speak out was "last week's stubborn refusal to adopt the full International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism, provoking Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge to call her leader an antisemite to his face." This, the editorial stated, "was the most sinister yet."
In so doing, the Labour Party has "diluted the IHRA definition, accepted in full by the government and more than 130 local councils," regarding four provisions governing anti-Semitism and Israel.
The editorial concluded by noting that Labour has a vote set for September 5 to adopt the full IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. This will force members of the Labour Party to make a stark choice, "implement IHRA in full or be seen by all decent people as an institutionally racist, antisemitic party."
FDA Approves Israeli Tool for Assessing a Patient's Risk of Heart Attack
Zebra Medical Vision of Kibbutz Shefayim has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for its automatic coronary calcium scoring algorithm, an artificial-intelligence tool that helps physicians assess the risk of coronary artery disease.
The algorithm can detect and quantify the presence of calcium, or plaque, in coronary arteries. Excess levels of calcium are associated with increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events. Studies have shown that coronary artery calcium score is useful for risk stratification of patients.
Coronary artery disease is a major cause of death in developed countries and is responsible for approximately one-third of all deaths of individuals over 35 years old.
"Identification of high-risk individuals is key to prevention," said Prof. Ran Balicer, director of the Clalit Research Institute. Clalit is Israel's largest health maintenance organization, caring for some 4 million people.
"Zebra's algorithm could run on CT studies of the chest and potentially help identify people with cardiovascular risk sooner, allowing more effective treatment and overall reduction of adverse outcomes and healthcare costs for HMOs such as Clalit."
Zebra Medical Vision cofounder and CEO Elad Benjamin said this clearance will allow the company to begin expansion in the US, following seven algorithms that have the CE Mark for use in the European Union. "It is the first of many to come, as we continue building our automated analytics engine."
Founded in 2014, Zebra Medical Vision uses deep learning to create next-generation products and services for healthcare.

"Whatever we do on record, it's there for eternity," says ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann. "If you do something great it's not somethi...
We are back with another jaunt into our favorite world...the world of METAL. In this episode our duo delves heavily into the many personnel changes that have occurred recently in the ranks of many of our favorite bands. Zetro is back in Exodus, Blacky is out of VoiVod, Marco is back in The Haunted, and the extremely hot Nita Strauss is playing for Alice Cooper. The guys talk about some new records that have them jazzed from the likes of Goatwhore, Arch Enemy, Trap Them, COC, Accept, and Shakra. The episode is rounded out with a convo on the amusing re-surfacing of Chris Holmes of WASP fame.

Its been way too long, but J&L have come together again for another episode of Metal. A bunch has gone down since we last tickled your ear-buds and the guys touch on some of that in this installment. The Queensryche saga/settlement is discussed and if that saga wasn't enough...we have a similar saga on our hands in the Entombed camp with two versions of said band now floating around. The guys also talk about the Tim Lambesis conviction and find it quite funny that he and As I Lay Dying were a "Christian" band. The guys are stoked about news that Pepper Keenan wants to get back to writing and playing with C.O.C and touch on the stepping down of Angela Gassow from Arch Enemy and the stepping in of Alissa White-Gluz. To round things out, new records from Prong and Mos Generator are heralded by Loond before our duo departs to see Red Fang, Big Business, and American Sharks at Fitz.

The Los Angeles Chargers needed a spark early in the first quarter.
Travis Benjamin delivered.
The team needed someone to make a play late in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
Again, Benjamin delivered.
From the 65-yard punt return touchdown the first time he touched the ball to the 42-yard touchdown catch on third down on his last reception, the speedy wide receiver sparked the Bolts to their third-straight win, a 21-0 victory over the Denver Broncos.
"It's crazy," Melvin Gordon said. "He is just so fast. We see it all the time in practice, but when we get a chance to see it on game day and the world gets to see it, it's even crazier."
"Fast, very fast," marveled Tre Boston. "The guy is explosive. If you don't put a hand on him, the guy can fly. He's a slithery guy. So a guy like that, you get the ball in (his) hands and just let him run."
Benjamin authored his fourth-career punt return for a touchdown, and the first by the Chargers since 2012, with 7:44 remaining in the opening quarter. The Broncos' Riley Dixon mishit the ball, bouncing a 46-yarder that went to Benjamin on a line drive.
"I saw that he shanked the punt, and I felt like I could get it on the bounce," Benjamin recalled as he described what he saw. "Once I got it, I saw they were kind of spread out. All week coach had been preaching to the punt return unit that since I am so fast, I should put my feet in the ground and get up field. Once I saw that crease, I knew I could head down to the end zone."
The rest was history, setting off a celebration at StubHub Center. After all, there's nothing quite like a return TD on special teams. It also makes the team thirstier to experience that high again.
"It's big," Benjamin admitted. "It's a momentum push. I know that everyone on that unit wants me to score, and I want to score. Once you have 11 guys on the same page, and once you get in that end zone, they want more. Next week we hope we can get the same vision…(I'm) just getting back to my regular ways knowing that there were certain times on punt returns that punters were scared to give me the ball."
"That was amazing," added Keenan Allen. "Any time the offense doesn't touch the field and (we) get six points, that's great. Hopefully we keep it up."
Still, Benjamin's heroics weren't limited just to his punt return.
On 3rd-and-11 from the Denver 42 with just under six minutes remaining in the game, Philip Rivers fired over the middle shy of the sticks to number 12. Benjamin not only turned on the jets to get the crucial first down, but raced past the entire Broncos defense on the way to the end zone.
"That play was actually a check, knowing that we never fail to get certain coverage in certain areas with (defensive backs) out of formation. He checked the offense, soft tossed it to me, and once I saw I had the angle on the safety, I knew I was going to get the corner and head to the end zone."
"Speed," Anthony Lynn simply said after the game. "You like speed. That's something you can't coach."

The complaint
Mr P complained that a fundraising event he attended in aid of a charity was a "rip-off".
Our findings
We found that the event organiser was a "commercial participator". This means they were carrying out business and in the course of that business representing that they would make a donation to the charity.
We found that the charity had failed to recognise this and put in place appropriate systems to manage the relationship. We also found that the charity was not open with Mr P when dealing with his complaint.
Finally, we found that the charity did not escalate Mr P's concerns despite his dissatisfaction.
Our recommendations
We recommended that the charity tell Mr P how much money it received from the event.
We also recommended that the charity adopt a more open approach when answering queries about donations received from "in aid of" events and ensure that any commercial participator is aware of, and fulfils, its legal obligations.
Finally we recommended that the charity send Mr P a written apology for the breaches of the code that we've identified.
The charity accepted our findings and our recommendations.

Functions Performed by a Computer
Category : 2nd Class
You must have seen calculators which perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Suppose you want to find the total marks of all the subjects in your examination (English - 85, Mathematics - 90, Science- 80 and Hindi -70), a calculator can quickly give you the answer as 325. However, a computer is a better calculating machine because it?s not only performs these mathematical operations, but also give some logical decisions.
For example, if we want to find out the grade you obtained, The computer can do it for us.
For executing this function, we give the following command:
If Total Marks > 300; print 'FIRST DIVISION' The computer will deal with total marks, as directed and it will print the logical Results - FIRST DIVISION. So, a computer performs two types of functions mathematical function and logical function to complete the job of computation.
You need to login to perform this action.

It's super fun and exciting that I'm officially a full time blogger.
Three years ago, I knew nothing about blogging. I was in massive student loan debt, and I was in a career I hated.
Fast forward to now, and I built a completely new career online that started with a blog.
The way I did this was to transition slowly from working full time to being a full time blogger by building up my blog income one month at a time as I worked in my job.
So, I want to go over how I suggest working full time and blogging.
How I teach blogging is different than most people.
Instead of focusing on writing, building your brand, and working hard, I teach how to make money from a website with your blog as the marketing tool.
If you want to blog just to write for fun (or about your life), then this post is not for you. If you want to start a blog that's a business (i.e. you actually make money from it), then this post will help you.
I spent the last 3 years blogging and working full time. I did pretty much everything wrong for the first 2 years (created products that didn't sell, barely had anyone visit my site, and had no real strategy for making money online).
Last year, I made $45k blogging while working full time.
This year, I built my blog up to the point where I could quit and become a full time blogger.
For the last couple months I've been making $14k blogging per month (crazy!).
If you would've told me 4 years ago I'd be blogging full time and in my third career in 4 years, I never would've believed you. I had no experience in business or online marketing at all. I had a ton of student loan debt, and I was working full time.
In this post, I put everything I've learned about blogging into a 5-phase system for how to start a profitable blog with a full time job.
I've always talked about 3 phases of blogging (starting, growing, and monetizing), but I'm adding 2 more phases because I think they're super important for your success if you're working full time.
The phases of starting a profitable blog when you work full time are:
- Phase 1: Prepare and Plan
- Phase 2: Start and Launch
- Phase 3: Grow
- Phase 4: Monetize
- Phase 5: Advanced Strategies
Within each phase, there are steps you need to take to do it right the first time (many of these come from so many mistakes I made along the way).
This is a "big picture" blog post so you can really see the forest instead of the trees.
My first 2 years of blogging, I spent so much time in the wrong "trees" without having an idea of the forest. If you're anything like me, this post will help you see the big picture when it comes to making money blogging with a full time job, including everything to avoid.
I included resources for each phase at the end of each section to help you go to the next level for that phase.
Okay, now let's get started!
Phase 1: Prepare and plan
When you are starting a blog when you work full time, the preparing and planning phase is SOOOO important. Don't underestimate this phase because it sets the foundation for everything else.
This phase is not about passively learning, though – it's about taking action to set yourself up for success.
1. Master your mindset
The first part to preparing and planning is mastering your mindset.
You can learn all the how-tos you want, but if you're not committed to focusing on your blog, you're not going to make money while working full time.
More than half of the questions I get form bloggers are about fear, doubt, time, focus, planning, or lack of commitment. These are all mindset problems – not tactical problems.
Be very clear about whether you have a mindset or a tactical problem. If you have a mindset problem, a tactical answer won't fix it.
Check out this post about how to improve your mindset.
2. Set goals and expectations
The second part of preparing and planning is to set goals and expectations.
You need to have an end goal for your blog so you can choose a strategy for turning it into a business. You can always change your goal down the road, but you need to have one to start with.
The most important end goal to make is whether and how you want to monetize.
For example, if you want to make money with affiliate marketing and selling your own products or services, that's going to be a very different strategy than if you want to make money as an influencer, working with brands and sponsorships.
I prefer going the product and service route (not the influencer route), but the choice is yours.
Don't just wing it. Make sure you choose. Otherwise, you won't do either and you'll just hope your blog will make money without a strategy, and it won't.
3. Plan and be productive
The third step to the preparing and planning phase is to plan and be productive.
For blogging with a full time job, this step is soooo important! You cannot just "work on your blog" whenever you have free time and expect it to become a business.
This doesn't work.
You need to come up with a specific plan for when you're going to blog, what you're going to do during that time to blog (what you're going to produce during that time), deadlines to complete tasks, and what you're going to give up to make sure you have time for this.
My first 2 years of blogging, I kept allllll my other activities and didn't give anything up. I kept cooking, reading, going out with friends, and doing everything else I was doing before blogging. The result was that I barely made any money. I wasn't putting in enough time to do it. It wasn't until I stopped all the other extra hobbies and solely went all in on blogging in my extra free time outside of work that made the difference.
Here's a good resource with 21 simple ways to be more productive.
4. Understand the blogging game
The fourth step to the preparing and planning phase is understanding the blogging game.
Everything in life is a game. The key is to figuring out how to win the game ahead of time, so you don't lose.
I heard Dean Jackson on I Love Marketing say once that humans love games – they just don't like games they don't know how to win.
Keep this in mind when you're blogging. You need to learn how to win the game.
There are many ways to frame the rules of the blogging game and what it takes to win, so keep this in mind – the way I articulate it may be different than what you've heard before and it doesn't mean that other ways are wrong.
Here are my rules of the blogging game…
- Blogging is a business.
- To succeed in business you need to find the target market you want to serve, ask them what they want, then create it. Never fall in love with an idea and bring it to market if you don't have evidence for it being profitable (money, health, and relationships are great niches to start with, btw).
- Once there is a product to market match, grow your business through direct response marketing. This means using your blog as a medium to connect with your audience and provide results ahead of time. Your blog is the marketing tool – not the product or service that you make money from.
- Always provide more value to your audience than they expect in return. Always over deliver.
- Your readers must know you, like you, and trust you.
- Your job is to serve your audience — not to become popular.
- Traffic, email marketing, and building relationships are the biggest factors to building a profitable blog.
- Sequence is everything in marketing, and therefore, business. The sequence to launching a profitable blog is your sales process and it looks like this: Search/Social Media/Podcast –> Blog –> Freebie –> Email Funnel –> Sale.
Said differently, you need to…
- Know who your target customer is
- Know what your offer is
- Have a solid product to market match that's potentially profitable
- Get traffic to your website
- Use your blog as a tool to provide results ahead of time to your readers
- Build an email list
- Have a good relationship with your readers so they know you, like you, and trust you
- Make sales
These are things I've learned over the last few years. Two other resources that will go much more in depth about making money online that I high suggest reading are two books by Russell Brunson:
- Dot Com Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Growing Your Company Online
- Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Creating a Mass Movement of People Who Will Pay for Your Advice
5. Brainstorm your biz plan
The fifth step to the preparing and planning phase is for you to brainstorm your business plan.
You need to niche-down your focus and decide 3 things:
- Target market or customer
- Service or product
- Medium to market it (presumably, your blog)
- Target market or customer
The first part of your business plan is defining your target market or customer. You need to decide who you're going to serve – and be intentional about it. This can make or break the success of your blog, so do this carefully.
Do not choose a topic to blog about just because you love it or are passionate about it. Like Dan Sullivan says, never fall in love with a business idea until you have proof in the market that people will pay for it.
Here are tips for choosing a target market or customer.
- Choose a hot market because that means there's opportunity to make money in it. If the market is dead – run. Do not start a blog in this market.
- Choose a market that is willing to pay for the product or service you're thinking about offering.
- Choose a market that's similar to you because you'll be able to identify with the people in it (this isn't a requirement, but makes it easier).
- Choose a market that you have experience with serving.
You want to be able to have a product to market match. What this means is that the product (or service) you're offering matches the market you're offering it to. You have to choose the market carefully.
Suggestions for choosing a niche:
- Money
- Make money
- Business
- Health
- Wellness
- Personal development
- Relationships
- Family
- Home
There are opportunities to monetize a blog in any of these categories.
If you niche-down even further, you'll get stronger relationships with your audience and be able to serve them more easily (e.g. single, working women who want to make money online). The narrower the better. You can always go broader down the road.
When I decided who I was serving everything changed. It made the biggest difference in my blogging success. I can't emphasize this enough. I transitioned from "talking about my debt" to serving young, professional women in their 30s who want to design their dream lives, with sub niches in blogging, personal development, and money mindset.
You'll also need to come up with a blog name during this part of the process. Do not spend more than 3 days brainstorming a name. It doesn't matter that much for your blogs success.
- Service or product
The next step in creating your business plan is to decide on the product or service you're offering.
There are many ways to do this, and you can change your offerings as you go.
You can make money with affiliate marketing. You can offer coaching. You can create your own eBooks and eCourses. You can become a freelance writer.
"Blogging" and writing blog posts is not how you make money. You make money from people paying you for proving value.
You need to decide what that value is going to be.
Here are suggestions for what the product or service offering you can create to offer in exchange for money through marketing on your blog:
- Affiliate marketing
- Selling eBooks
- Selling eCourses
- Display advertising
- Coaching
- Freelance writing
- Sponsored blog posts (brand relationships)
The best way to find out what your target audience wants that they're willing to pay for is to ask them. This is hard if you haven't built an audience yet. But as your audience grows, one of the advanced strategies is to ask your audience through surveys, social media sites, or email marketing what they want that you can offer them.
- Medium to market it (your blog)
Once you have the target customer and the product or service you're going to provide, you need to market it.
You can market your product or service to your target customer in many ways, including through a blog, podcast, social media, YouTube, or something else!
Again, the key takeaway here is to understand that your blog is the medium that you're using to market your products and services to – it's not how you make your money. It's the medium through which you market your offering.
You run an online business and you market that business through your blog. This is how the big time bloggers make their money online.
Your blog is not what makes money – your business is. Your blog is how you market the product or service you're selling. Even if you are monetizing through affiliate marketing, you're still selling affiliate products.
You can market your business through other ways, like a podcast. But for purposes of this post, I'll assume you want to market your biz through your blog.
This is how you win. You don't get too tied to the medium. You get tied to serving your target customer. When you do it this way, it doesn't matter if the Pinterest or Facebook algorithms change because you're not committed to the medium. You can change the medium and always find where your customers are.
Phase 1 Prepare and Plan Resources:
- 21 Ways To Increase Your Productivity That Actually Work
- 47 Simple Time Management Tips (For When You Don't Know Where To Start)
- 9 Tips For New Bloggers
- How I Make Money Blogging And Work Full Time
- An Honest Review Of 8 Planners And Journals
Once you've prepared and planned, you're ready to move on to starting and launching your blog.
Phase 2: Start and launch
Once you are committed, have your mindset in tact, have a schedule in place, and a specific business plan for how you want to monetize your blog, you are ready to enter Phase 2 – starting and launching.
This phase is about the nuts and bolts of getting your blog up and running.
I like to use the house analogy for understanding how a website operates. The land is the domain. The house frame is the host. The decorations are WordPress.
I am only offering instructions for starting a blog using Bluehost (as the domain registration and host) and WordPress (as the software). There are other ways to start a blog (that are free), which I do not recommend. You're starting a business – you're going to have to pay for your website if you want it to be profitable.
1. Register your domain name
The first step to the starting and launching phase is registering your domain name.
You can check your domain's availability here:
Register your domain name with Bluehost here to get started.
After you register your domain name, you'll sign up for hosting. Then, you'll have to sign up for WordPress. I like to use the analogy of building a house: your domain is the land, your host is the house, and WordPress is the inside decor. You need all 3 to run a blog successfully.
2. Register with a host
The second step to the starting and launching phase is registering with a hosting company.
You can get Bluehost hosting using my discounted link for $2.95 per month. For this discounted price, you pay for 36 months upfront.
Once you sign up for Bluehost hosting, you are ready to install WordPress and design your site.
3. Install WordPress
The third step to the starting and launching phase is installing WordPress.
You'll be prompted in Bluehost to install WordPress, which you should do. This will allow everything to sync properly.
Once you have your hosting up and running and WordPress installed, you can move on to designing your website.
4. Design your site
The fourth step to the starting and launching phase is designing your website.
This can be a nightmare for so many newbie bloggers, but it really does get easier as you go. So, just commit to the process and know that you're in good company and the problems of headers and footers and spacing will resolve over time.
There are so many ways to design a site. The good news is that your site design won't make or break your ability to make money blogging.
The bad news is you still have to design your site!
Here are my best tips for choosing a theme…
- Not all themes are equally as good.
- Free themes won't be updated as regularly and it will be harder to get support with them. They're going to have less features and customization options, too. You'll spend a lot more time dealing with a free theme trying to fix it than a paid theme.
- Divi Theme is a great beginner theme to get started with, and it is very popular because of the customizable page builder. You can build a theme just like my blog with Divi (I've done it, so I know it's possible). For those of you who like my theme, Divi is a great option.
- I use Genesis and Parallax Pro for my actual theme because that's what was recommended to me a couple years ago. It's great and advanced, but fair warning – it takes a lot of customizing and more work to get it to look the way you want (I recommend this only for intermediate bloggers).
Here is a look at my home page that you can create using Divi Theme.
Here are my best tips for designing your blog.
- Look at your competition as examples of what you like and don't like.
- Less is more.
- Put your face all over your blog so your readers can get to know you more.
- Use a sidebar with your bio and an author box below your blog posts.
- Include social share icons, like Socialwarfare (what I use).
- Put up a killer About Page, making it really long and detailed about your story and how you can help people.
- Make sure you have other pages up on your site, like a privacy policy, disclaimer, subscribe page, and contact page.
Your blog design is important, but it's not that important. What I mean is that it's probably more important to you and your ego than it is to you making money online. You don't need to have the most modern, fancy website to actually make money blogging.
Get your blog up, design it, and move forward. You can always come back to the design in the future.
Phase 2 Start And Launch Resources:
- Bluehost (hosting company)
- Divi Theme (design theme)
- iMark Interactive (who I use for tech help)
- How To Start A Blog Tutorial (step by step tutorial)
- 100 Blog Post Ideas (blog post to get started writing)
Once you're done starting and launching your blog, you're ready to focus on growing it.
Phase 3: Grow
Once you have your blog up and running functionally, you are ready to enter Phase 3 – the growth phase.
This phase is about developing a content strategy, getting people to visit your website (driving traffic), growing your email list (email marketing), networking (connecting with other bloggers), and building relationships with your audience so they know you, like you, and trust you.
1. Develop a content strategy
The first step in the growth phase is to develop a content strategy for your blog.
Each blog post you write should have a purpose behind it (and that purpose shouldn't be "because I want to write it" if your goal is to make money blogging). If you are writing a blog post purely for your enjoyment and to share with the world, then you don't need a strategy and you can write about whatever you want. However, if you want to make money blogging, you need a strategy.
Here are different purposes you could potentially have behind blog posts:
- To increase traffic (search engine optimization)
- To promote an affiliate product or your own product (sales centered content)
- To build your email list
- To increase social shares (virality)
- To build a stronger relationship with your readers (more personal story)
There are many ways to produce content with a legit strategy behind the post. Here are examples…
- Publishing an income report on your blog with the intent of providing proof of making money blogging so that people sign up to start a blog with your process.
- Explaining your process for productivity in a blog post, while promoting your productivity course.
- Writing a review of many tools you use for food preparation on your food blog, using affiliate links.
- Talking about how to improve your marriage in a blog post, while promoting your relationship coaching at the end of the post.
- Writing about building a six figure freelance writing business and promoting your email list and writing course in the post.
- Mentioning one product in a blog post that you were paid to include, as a sponsored post.
- Creating a massive list of the 100 wardrobe essentials if you're a fashion blogger, with the intent of Pinterest virality.
- Writing a personal blog post about transitioning careers, with the intent of building a stronger relationship with your audience.
To start developing your own content strategy, begin with the end in mind (like everything in blogging!).
Keep in mind if your end-goal is to have a profitable business, a majority of your blog posts need to be a marketing tool to promote your product or service or get people on your email list where they'll be exposed to it.
Here are tips for creating a blog content strategy…
- Every blog post should have a purpose behind it.
- When you write a post, always speak directly to your target customer.
- Focus on providing results ahead of time – solve a problem for your reader (people read thinking "what's in it for me" WIFM).
- Honesty, authenticity, and building trust are super duper important. The more people know you, like you, and trust you, the better.
- Pinterest, YouTube, and Google are the 3 search engines worth learning search engine optimization for (keyword research is worth your time).
- The title of the blog post is more important than the content. Learn title headlines copywriting.
- Publish at least one blog post per week (up to 3 is a good goal).
- Blog post length depends on your strategy (longer posts are better for Google rankings; shorter posts are better for social media reading). I say anywhere from 1,000 words to 3,000 words is a good range.
2. Build relationships with your audience
The second step in the growth phase is about building relationships with your audience.
The more your target audience knows you, likes you, and trusts you, the more successful you'll be at blogging.
The way that you get your audience to know you, like you, and trust you is:
- Always speak directly to your target audience.
- Actually help your reader solve a problem.
- Be honest and authentic above everything else.
- Provide more value than you expect to get back in return.
- Make your content about the reader not about you.
- Use email marketing to engage with your audience and strengthen your relationship with them.
If your audience doesn't trust you, your blog is done. And if you don't have an audience at all and are just talking to the world without any focus, your blog isn't a business.
Remember to focus on your reader and build trust. This is how you grow a following.
It's better to have 1,000 raving fans than it is to have 10,000 casual fans. Focus on your core audience. That's how your blog becomes a profitable business.
3. Build an email list
The third step in the growth phase is building an email list.
Your email list is the path through which you can make a lot of money blogging. This is why pro bloggers say "the money is in the list."
The way you build your email list is you start with the end in mind (again!). You take your offer (what service or product you're selling) and you create something similar to it that provides results ahead of time and offer it as a freebie on your site.
For example, I have a course called Design Your Dream Life Academy that helps people master their mindsets, productivity, time management, goal setting, and habits. I have lead magnets (freebies) that people can get for free that are closely related to this course. A reader who lands on my blog and wants to grab a freebie that is closely related to the course is very likely to be interested in the course if she likes the freebie because the course is so similar to the freebie.
Your lead magnet or freebie is what you give to someone visiting your blog in exchange for their email address. This is a crucial step in the business of blogging sequence.
Once someone knows you can give them results (which is the purpose of the freebie), they're going to like you and trust you. Then, you'll want to buy from you when you offer something because they'll have confidence that it's going to be good.
Nothing is more important than your email list when it comes to blogging. It is a key part to making money online.
I highly suggest using ConvertKit (free 30 day trial with my link!) to build your email list because of the functionality and design that is specifically made for bloggers.
4. Get traffic
The fourth step in the growth phase is getting traffic to your blog.
You need traffic to make money blogging, but traffic isn't the end-all-be-all. I care more about my email list than I do traffic. But traffic still matters.
There are soooo many ways to drive traffic to your blog. If you have money to spend, driving paid traffic via Facebook ads is the way to go.
For getting free, organic traffic to your blog, the best way to go is with through a search engine. I suggest Pinterest, Google, and YouTube as the top 3 ways to drive traffic to your site organically because they're search engines (unlike Twitter and Instagram, for example).
I use a Pinterest strategy on my blog. Most of my traffic is from Pinterest. I highly recommend Pinterest Traffic Avalanche for growing traffic with your blog. This is probably the fastest way for a new blogger to drive traffic for free.
For Google and YouTube, I suggest learning about optimizing blog posts with SEO using keyword research once you have other growth strategies down. It's really important for your blog, but it takes a lot of time and gets complicated fast.
The biggest piece of advice I have for you for driving traffic to your site is to focus on writing things other people are searching for (not on whatever you're in the mood to write).
5. Network
The fifth step in the growth phase is networking. This is where you get to know other bloggers and online entrepreneurs to grow your own business.
You can do this through guest posting, getting on podcasts, swapping videos on your respective YouTube channels, or something else.
Networking and knowing other bloggers won't make you a lot of money, but it will come in handy for growing your blog. You'll have more opportunities and it will be easier to promote your work, naturally.
Be careful not to focus too heavily on other blogs and bloggers. It's easy to do because the blogging community is awesome. Try to remember that your job as a business owner is to serve your audience and provide valuable content to them. This has nothing to do with other blogs.
One amazing side effect of networking, though, is that you'll get around other people who "get it" when most people in your personal life won't – they'll be very confused at your new obsession with your blog.
Bloggers will always get it. There's friendship and opportunity in networking.
Here are a few pics of my blogging people… I love them! <3
6. Set up your biz
The sixth step in the growth phase is to set up your business.
In the beginning, the most important thing for you to do is track your income and expenses and keep all your receipts.
If you do nothing else, you're operating as a sole proprietor.
As your blog grows and you make more money, you'll need to use a more robust accounting system and pay quarterly estimated taxes (I highly recommend using an accountant).
You'll also consider what type of business entity to be down the road beyond a sole proprietor (e.g.: I'm a single member LLC).
Don't get too freaked out about this now, just revisit it down the road.

- 5 Books Every Blogger Should Read (blog post with the top 5 best blogging books)
After you've grown your blog with traffic and email marketing, you are ready to move into the monetization phase.
Phase 4: Monetize
Once you have started to grow your blog, you are ready to enter Phase 4 – the monetization phase.
Remember, blogs don't make money – businesses do.
You need to have a specific strategy for providing value to your target audience in exchange for them paying you. If you don't have this down, it doesn't matter how good your blog posts are, how much traffic you have, or how big your email list is.
1. How blogs make money
The first step in the monetization phase is understanding how blogs make money.
Well, as I just said – they don't! 🙂 Businesses make money.
Your blog is the medium that you're using to promote the value that you're providing to your target customer.
(The only exception to this is if you're going to monetize solely with display advertising and you're just going to focus on getting millions of page views per month and monetize with ads. For most people, this isn't a good strategy, especially in the beginning.)
For purposes of how to practically do this, you can choose a number of ways.
Here are the most common ways bloggers make money:
- Affiliate marketing
- Selling eBooks
- Selling eCourses
- Display advertising
- Coaching
- Freelance writing
- Sponsored blog posts (brand relationships)
I like monetizing with selling products (your own and affiliates) because it's the most scalable (unlike sponsored posts and services).
When you use affiliate marketing on your blog, combined with selling your own eBooks and eCourses, you can add in other monetization strategies (like display advertising and sponsored posts) as a bonus way to diversify your income.
This is what I do, and it works very well.
2. Decide how to monetize
The second step in the monetization phase is deciding how you want to make money blogging.
You need to have a strategy for monetizing your blog. You need to be able to measure your progress. You can only measure your progress if you're intentionally using a strategy.
How you want to monetize is up to you.
That said, I'll give you my suggestions. 🙂
If you want to create a scalable business with potential for passive income, use affiliate marketing and creating and selling your own products.
If you want to become an influencer, then you'll have to go with sponsored posts.
If you want to create a job for yourself, focus on providing a service-based business, such as becoming a virtual assistant or freelance writer.
Whatever you choose – choose intentionally.
You can change your mind and move into another direction down the road, but if you don't choose one path and instead try to do everything, you won't succeed because you'll have too much going on and won't be able to focus on implementing one specific strategy.
3. Create a strategy
The third step in the monetization phase is to create a specific strategy for making money blogging.
I suggest investing in an online course or blog coaching for your specific monetization strategy so you can avoid all the time it will take you to learn it on your own.
This is what I did with Six Figure Blogger. I decided I wanted to monetize through selling products (eBooks and eCourses), so I took Six Figure Blogger. I implemented everything. And bam. One year later, I'm a Six Figure Blogger.
Here's a look at my interview I did with Alex from Six Figure Blogger…
You can have that kind of success. You just have to find a teacher. Stick to learning only from that teacher. Then, implement everything you learn from the teacher.
That is what I did, and it worked like crazy.
If you are just starting out (and if Six Figure Blogger seems too much of an intermediate level monetization course), then I suggest taking Blog With A Full Time Job.
Other than that, the point is to make sure you're not trying to reinvent the wheel or wing it. You're much more likely to make money blogging with a specific monetization plan in place based off something you know works.
4. Consider other ways to monetize online
The fourth step in the monetization phase is to consider other monetization methods for increasing your cash flow.
If you are tight on cash and finding it hard to invest in your blog, you could start freelance writing or doing VA work on the side to get some start up money for your blog.
I used to freelance write for extra money so I could pay for my blog expenses. I did this until I made enough money to stop. This was so helpful for paying for my design, email marketing, and a few other essentials to get things going.
Phase 4 Monetize Your Blog Resources:
- Six Figure Blogger (course that helped me become a six figure blogger)
- Blog With A Full Time Job (beginner blogger course)
- Making Sense Of Affiliate Marketing (course for growing your affiliate marketing)
- How To Make Money Blogging (blog post describing how bloggers make money)
- How I Made $45K Blogging In 1 Year While Working Full Time (how I made $$$ while working full time blog post)
- How To Make Money Freelance Writing (how to make money freelance writing)
- How We Make Thousands Every Month Writing (blog post with super inspiring stories of people making money writing online)
- How To Make Money As A Virtual Assistant (how to make money online a as VA blog post)
- 8 Bloggers Who Make 5 & 6 Figures Every Month From Blogging (a look at 8 different bloggers' income reports)
After you've put basic monetization strategies in place, you're ready to move on to more advanced strategies and take it up a notch.
Phase 5: Advanced strategies
After you have a monetization strategy in place and you're making over $1,000 per month blogging, you can move into Phase 5 – Advanced Strategies.
This phase is about taking everything you've done up to this point up a notch.
You'll get into advanced marketing, advanced email sales funnels, advanced growth strategies, advanced monetization strategies, and incorporate influencer marketing, if you want to.
1. Advanced marketing
In the advanced marketing step, you'll dive deep into learning the ins and outs of marketing. You'll study direct response marketing, and apply what you learn to your business. If you do this right, you'll likely double your revenue.
2. Advanced email funnels
In the advanced email sales funnels step, you'll learn how to create email sequences that are 5-10 days long, where you build trust with your audience, followed by making an irresistible offer to them.
You'll get email marketing down to a science and focus on growing your list and engaging with your list to increase revenue.
This is where the magic happens.
3. Advanced growth strategies
In the advanced growth strategies step, you'll focus on traffic strategies, including Google SEO and Facebook advertising. You'll figure out which platforms are best for growing traffic to your site and how to convert the traffic you get.
You'll discover new ways to get traffic, like outreach to other blogs and podcasts. You may start secondary channels to market your products or services, like starting a YouTube channel or your own podcast.
4. Advanced monetization strategies
In the advanced monetization step, you'll improve your product or service offerings, making more products, improving them, or charging more.
You'll start to put together the piece of the puzzle that the way you're paid is directly related to how you market your product or service. You may reposition yourself or your offerings so you can increase your revenues.
5. Influencer marketing
In the influencer marketing step, you may decide that once you've reached a certain profitability level, you want to focus more on popularity and grow your social media platforms do more interviews sharing your story.
When you do this, you're clear about your intentions and won't confuse profitability for popularity. You know that influencer marketing is a different ball game and may not increase revenue at all. After all, you can be very popular and not profitable.
Phase 5 Advanced Strategies Resources:
- Six Figure Blogger (the course I took that taught me how to become a six figure blogger)
- Dot Com Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Growing Your Company Online (excellent book on how funnels work)
- Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Creating a Mass Movement of People Who Will Pay for Your Advice (excellent book on the art of how to master marketing in your specific funnels)
- ConvertKit free 30 day trial with my link! (the email marketing company I use and highly recommend if you want to make money blogging)
- Teachable (the platform I use for hosting my courses)
- ClickFunnels (the best builder for funnels and sales pages – I use this and love it)
- Lead Pages (the best landing page software that I use for my lead magnets)
- Opt-In Monster (the best company for exit intent popups that look professional)
- How I Made $5K in 5 Days On My Blog (blog post where I share how I launched my first course)
- The 15 Best Podcasts For Making Money Online (great marketing podcasts blog)
Courses I Recommend
The courses I recommend for starting a blog while working full time are…
- Blog With A Full Time Job – this is my blogging course for learning how to start, launch, grow, and monetize your blog while working full time.
- Six Figure Blogger – a blogging course for learning how to increase your blog income up to six figures with advanced strategies (for intermediate bloggers).

- Pinterest Traffic Avalanche – blogging course for learning how to drive traffic to your blog from Pinterest.
- Flourish With FB Ads – Facebook course for learning FB advertising (use code Natalie20 to take 20% off).
- Earn More Writing – a course to learn how to make money freelance writing.
Blogging Tools I Use
The blogging tools I use and/or recommend for starting a blog while working full time are…
- BlueHost – the hosting company I recommend for new bloggers.
- Divi Theme – the theme I recommend for creating a blog design.
- ConvertKit (free 30 day trial with my link) – the email platform I use and highly recommend.
- ClickFunnels – the service I use to build sales pages on my blog.
- Teachable – the platform I use to host my coaching programs and courses.
- Tech Help for Your Blog – the service I use for technical issues on my blog.
- Lead Pages – the service I use for all my landing pages for my freebies.
- Opt-In Monster – the service I use for capturing leads (aka the pop-ups that collect email addresses).
A Final Note!
I know that this blog post is a lot of information. But, it's one that you can always come back to (you can save it to Pinterest here) for future reference.
Again, the 5 phases of building a profitable blog when you work full time are:
- Phase 1: Prepare and Plan
- Phase 2: Start and Launch
- Phase 3: Grow
- Phase 4: Monetize
- Phase 5: Advanced Strategies
This is the 5 step process that you can use for launching, growing, and monetizing your blog with a full time job. It's how you start a blog that is actually a business. This is how you make money with an online business. It's not how you become famous.
Always, always, always:
- Value > Profitability > Popularity
I made the mistake of focusing on networking, guest posting, and influencer marketing right away, instead of focusing on my own audience and having a specific monetization plan. I was all over the place for the first two years of my business, focusing more on popularity instead of profitability. If I would've had this information then, I could've saved so much time and energy. That is my hope for you with this post!
This is exactly what I teach in Blog With A Full Time Job. If you liked this post, check out this course to get started.
Cheers to making money blogging while working full time!

Sunset, Azenhas do Mar, Sintra, Portugal - Azenhas do Mar is a tiny coastal town near Sintra, north of Praia da Adraga, Ursa Beach and the most westerly point of mainland Europe, Cabo da Roca. It looks similar in many ways to the Italian coastal villages such as Manarola or Positano. Certainly worth a drive out if you're staying near Sintra. The main attractions of Sintra are the vividly colourful Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira with its famous well, Castle of the Moors, Palace of Queluz and further north the spectacular Palace of Mafra with its incredible pink marble basilica.

just wondered if anyone knows how childcare tax credits work to help me and a family out.
I care for child 'G' while dad works full time and mum works 28hrs a week and they get childcare tax credits.
At the end of july dad will be laid off, family dont want to loose their childcare place with me (and i dont want to loose G!) but we imagine they will no longer be entitled to tax credits?? and obviously they cant afford to pay me full whack themselves.
Does anyone know if this is the case?
Thanks in advance x x

This is an old version of this project, check out a brand new one! :)
This is a shock device, what you can use as a taser, or a torture device. I have tried it, and I'm alive. The output voltage is about 600-1000 Volts in the maximum strenght. The power source is a 9V battery, so you don't have to worry about any mistakes, or failure, cause this is not AC.
I do not take responsibility for any injuries, or death.
So let's start this.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Tools
You don't need all of the following tools, but I recommended these one, cause with these, you can make it easier.
-Wire Stripper
-Hot Glue Gun
Step 2: Parts
So, this is a list of all the parts, what I have used to make it work.
-Copper wires
-9V AC/DC Adapter (or 6/12V it doesn't matter so much)
-560 Ohm resistor
-DC motor (any kind can be good)
-100k Ohm variable resistor
-200k Ohm variable resistor
-2 nail (not necessary)
-33k Ohm resistor
The resistors can be other Ohm, I used the 560, 100k, 200k, cause I have found these ones. No leds, or somethings like that is attached to the device, so the voltage is not a big problem. A bigger resistor, a smaller shock. That's it.
Step 3: Circuit
If you want a bigger voltage, you can just miss the resistors.
Step 4: Circuit - Adapter
Cut out the circuit board from the adapter, and connect the left wires together
Step 5: Circuit - Wiring (main Part)
If you miss the resistors, you get a very high powered "taser", but if you leave the resistors, you can get a fun shock device (like BDSM devices), and you can control the voltage.
I have used the DC motor for a repeater (or something like that to make the current continuous). It will turn on, and spinning when you turn on this device. Don't leave anything near the motor, because DC motors can burn out, if something prevent the rotation.
Step 6: Finish It!
We are almost complete. Now, you can put it into a box, like me, and make it much more beautiful.
I hope I can help you. I have searched for this (or a kind of this) circuit on the internet, but I didn't found anything like that (just similar, but I think this is the best)
Turn on the device, and have fun. :D
Have a nice day.
I do not take responsibility for any injuries, or death! I have tried it, but I don't know how you can make it. Principle, it can not injure you, but please don't touch the wires for too long time. High voltage can be harmful. Don't try this on animals!

What solder should be used for this?
I used regual, lead-free solder, 0,7mm. Which I use for most of my projects containing tiny electric circuits.
I used regular solder, nothing specific.
hi, thanks for post. a question!! why you dont use an inductor instead of motor? what is motor duty in this circuit?
This circuit without a motor would only give on shock, when the battery is disconnected. With the motor there are many discharges without releasing a button. It can be replaced by a 250V relay.
The duty is of the motor to make the currect continuous, because if you just connect the battery to the adapter, it will give you a single shock. With the motor, it is a continuous current (like in tasers).
I hope I can help you
Can we use capister and diode insted of moyer plz tel
You can use a relay and capacitors, to manage the "speed" of switching
Not exactly. The motor is acting like a switch, closing and opening the circuit for the transformer (adapter) to operate. The current is an intermitent one. What seems a single shock is actually a lot of shocks with tiny time intervals between them. If you replace the adapter with a speaker, you will hear a buzz.
Since then I learned a lot more about electronics, you are 100% right, thats what I wanted to tell but I used "continuous" the bad way.
Can we use capister and diode insted of moter
I guess you can. I managed to operate with a relay instead of the motor. If you are not familiar with relays, check youtube: Lucid Sciences relay video. That helped me to integrate it into the circuit.
Can you tell me the exact specs of the relay you used?
250V Omron relay if I remember correctly
Hi, Is the motor basically behaving as an interrupter of the current ? Phil
It acts like a relay (I made it before I had knowledge of relays), so basically yes, it is an interrupter.
