Sorry I don't have any skills to offer to help, this stuff is all fairly new to me. But I could maybe make a program for you if you could think of something that would fit in with the site, and submit it to download sites to generate traffic and backlinks.

@ freq - Thanks for the offer
@ easy - Thanks for helping direct traffic. Nothing I can think of at the moment. Just trying to put it all together now.
@ Choronzon - Thanks for your offer as well

Monty,
Just wanted to say good luck! I lost my day job last year and have been in the same situation you are in, i.e. sifting through the mountains of ebook data, programs, indecision, confusion and procrastination.
Being in the same situation as you, literally... I have a wife and three children... my first piece of advice is this. Talk some more to your wife. It is great to have teamwork here on the forum and on the internet, but in the long run it is better to have teamwork at home. The prospect of a husband bringing in NO money is one of the scariest things a woman can face. It affects every piece of a wife to think she and her children may not be provided for.
It sounds like such a cliche but many times what you get is something like:
Wife needs dependability and proof of nurture to feel secure VS. Husband needs feeling of freedom and personal accomplishment to feel alive...
Let her know that providing for the family IS THE MOST IMPORTANT thing for you. That this is all about doing that better, BECAUSE you love them. And really let her know how you feel inside, and what is driving you to do this. Work it so she can be your strongest ally.
I know I am coming off as a Black Hat Forum Dr. Phil... but I speak from experience. IF it is about a J-O-B to her than she may be secretly (or not so secretly) wishing for your failure so she can keep the household together (which is a GOOD thing... keeping the family from being homeless, not your failure
).
It is hard enough to work to start a business (there are alot of economic and social forces against you) without working way late at night, wishing you were sleeping, knowing your wife can not stand behind what you are doing and fighting that resentment.
On the other hand, it is alot easier to accomplish anything when your wife is there to cheer you on and support you. Nothing helps more when writing, then when I want to give up and a friendly hand sits on my shoulder, a familiar voice gives me some minor cheer leading and a loving smile asks me if she can get me a coffee or something. It can remind me why I am even trying any of this craziness, and gives me purpose and hope to succeed beyond my personal desire.
I don't have the skills that others have here... but I have been where you are . PM me if you need some emotional back-up
Next, here is some more concrete help for you. If you are going to accomplish this you will probably need some good time management skills (forgive me if you know this... I just know it helps).
I suggest one of two options (or both)
Listen to and read
You don't have to follow his exact methods, but he does an excellent job of showing you how to set up your work day schedule and plan out you week for the greatest effectiveness. It includes a number of printed schedule sheets to plan your time efficiently. Go through it and think about how you spend your time in relation to what actually gets the job done.
Second (though I'm sure many here would think it worthless) I got alot out of using
to set up my goals and plan from a day to day basis. It really only takes 15-20 minutes to plan out a time saving successful day if you start with the end in mind.
Lastly... If you don't meet your goal... just because you don't reach your goal in 30 days, does not mean you failed. The most important goals are those we must bring ourselves up against over and over and over. Do not give up over a single loss. Don't forget, it is all a learning experience.
Let your new personal motto be:
DUM SPIRO, SPERO! --- While I breathe, I hope!
Good Luck, God Bless!

@ jcash - Thanks, my friend.
@ 1000eyecrow - Fortunately, my wife is now with me on this. It's a little scary for her not really understanding how all of this works, where the income comes from, and how we're going to have medical benefits, but I think she will come around once things pick up even more. I'm not exactly starting from scratch.
Thanks!

Olden, I can't find your Meta-Marketing thread now but I just finished reading it. Holy crap. I've read "Niche Marketing on Crack", but that was like "Niche Marketing on Heroin"!
Awesome job, my friend.
Awesome job, my friend.

Well, if you create an ebook about your journey I can help in designing an ebook cover.
Haha, I was just about to write how this will make one hell of
an ebook.
I'm so down for promoting that and helping create it.
It will be the first of its kind to actually be real and documented.

"Yes, barsha, but this course of action will force me to face my own worst enemy...my attention span.
Yes, the program you mentioned is awesome. In order to make money with it, though, I must stick to it and not hit the "New Posts" button every 2 hours to see what great tactic I can employ next.
Like most of us, I am guilty of hopping from thing to thing, downloading e-books and programs and saying "I will have to read that tomorrow"...or the next day, or the next day.
So this is a challenge to myself to put to use all the tools I have acquired over the last 9 months (especially the last 2 months, really) and STICK WITH THE PROGRAM.
I know it might sound easy, "Hey, Chris, just stick with Domination, make a pile of money, then just quit your job."
But we're talking about me, my wife, my three kids, and then suddenly not having my awesome work health benefits, my automatic 401K contributions...it's some pretty scary shit if you stop and think about it too long.
It's about focus and it's about overcoming your fear."
---------------------------------------
With all due respect Montyz but the way the CPA domination program was sold to me was that any newbie can do it (noob proof) plus it takes less than 4 hours a day to get anywhere from 1000-3000 a day (numbers might be a bit off) so my question remains: if someone is going to tell you all you'll need to do is concentrate 4 hours per day and you can make up to 3000 or more for those 4 hours why not just set aside 4 hours PER week and you'll set. Are you telling me that you can't put in 4 hours per week for those financial results? If you don't have the time nor ability to focus in doing this then exactly how much time and attention can you afford each week? what i'm having trouble with is that the cpa program is guaranteed to make you at least 5000 per week (number can be off) and only 4 hours daily so if someone was to give me this program and i've reviewed it and agree that this is all valid, i'll leave my day job in a heart beat.
sorry to slow the momentum of this rah rah thread ...

You blog has been stumbled, twittered, pownced, digged, and onlywired by yours truly... The least I can do is add a couple backlinks... a little web 2.0 can't hurt from anyone who cares to help

lol, crow. Thanks.
Vivian,
I appreciate your view-point, but you don't know me too well. I've been handed a few golden tickets in my day.
Then the realization kicks in...."Oh, you mean I have to build this, and setup that, and compile this, and code that, and bid on these clicks, and tweak that, and then review your stats and remove the bids that have this ratio, etc, etc. OK, you know what, I think I'll pass."
Yes, a computer newbie can do the program....very easily. Still there is a proper way to set it up that ensures long-term stability. It also requires a little business know-how. I don't know about you, but I've never been self-employed in my life, let alone actually HIRE someone. Sure, you can find someone on Craigs or eLance but it's still intimidating if you've never done it.
So let's see if I can stick with that along with one or two other projects I'm working on that should get me there.
Unless, of course, you're referring to that system's 'affiliate program'. That seems to be the real 'mystery income' program around here.

smitty & entity,
That's a hell of an idea. We'll have to have a sidebar on that topic.
Look at all these signatures! I'm starting to feel like this is "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
Was it "Save Ferris!" that everyone was going around saying?

Pofecker is having trouble connecting to BHW, but I'm talking to him on IRC. He's getting people's PMs, he just can't reply. So to everyone who wants to help, he's not ignoring you, just having trouble getting on.
