I woke up this morning and was thrilled to see that after almost exactly 4 months, I had hit 50 followers! Granted, I would have loved to have hit 50 sooner, I haven't taken advantage of any sort of follower finding sites or anything of that nature. I also didn't properly setup my blog at it's birth to get the most out of the search engines since I didn't have any clue about that kind of thing.
Regardless, I'm absolutely ecstatic! I decided to bite the bullet and buy my own domain, and am now trying to figure out how to set it up since I didn't buy it directly through blogger (the easy way) because I think blogger goes through GoDaddy and I've heard that most people don't use them and opt for NameCheap instead. I have to admit that $8.81 for a domain with free privacy for a year is a pretty great deal! I actually bought one for this blog and one for my up and coming business site.
Even more exciting is that by the time I had forced myself to hit the "purchase" button I had gained another two followers.
While I am a little sad to know that my hard earned page rank will reset because of this, but I'm sure I'll get back to where I was in no time. You should all be forwarded to the new URL through your bookmarks, but in case you aren't the new site will be AtHomeEarning.com after I get the kinks worked out.
See ya there!

It is very easy to add the purchased name to your blogger site. Its under settings/publishing There are a few settings under GoDaddy's site as well, and they will give you instructions there to make it work with blogger
Congrats on 50 followers!
Yeah I got it up and running not too long after I made the post. I'm pretty excited about finally making the plunge and getting my own domain.
I also got one for a business site so I'll have to set aside sometime to start setting it up and come up with a layout plan/color scheme etc
Congratulations! I just started my blog and I hope to see the success you have had earning at home. Your December earnings were amazing and you have shown me that it can be done! Thanks!
Thanks Nora :) I'm still in shock at how easy it actually is to make decent money from home, even without being on the phones...
I'm still kicking myself for not figuring out that I could do things like this sooner though. I spent a year unemployed looking for work, and I could have been doing this the whole time >_<
I'm sure you'll see plenty of success also!
