My First Blog- Do I have to get a part-time job? I'd rather be my own boss

Hello World! Welcome to my first blog!
Are you like me asking yourself, "Do I have to get a part-time job?" We work hard all day, eight hours shifts, five days a week, no overtime, and what for? Just enough money to cover bills and the necessities. We need a part-time job, but we don't want to have to punch in on another's clock. We do not want another boss. We work full-time already and  would love to become our own boss someday, but how will we get there? Some of you are sailing on the same boat as I. Returning to college, have not yet obtained any degree (Over half way there). Along with the hubby or significant other, trying to raise a family and maintain the household. We really do not have the time to go job hunting. This will require some of us to have to take off work from our full-time jobs and burn up our much needed vacation time. What can we do? What will we do? Well, I am going to utilize this Internet until I can do no more. I started with my own website, but that isn't panning out too well. I started my own website only to find out after a few months later that I was spending more money maintaining the site than what I am earning. BUMMER! I started selling things on EBay without opening a store (don't get me wrong, I love EBay) but I spent more money on insertion fees and final value fees than anything else. I cannot give up. I will not give up. I have dropped my paid website in exchange for a new free website with Vendio.com. I have dropped my limits. (My first website was just for pet supplies. Now, I have opened my doors to sell a variety of things). I have started an actual EBay store, which cuts back on insertion fees and picture fees, and also I am utilizing Facebook as a source for advertising. I have become an Amazon.com associate, so I can advertise Amazon.com products on my site, if you buy it, I get some change. I have also joined Commission Junction or http://www.cj.com/, so I am able to make money from advertising other companies and products as well. It's slow, but I am not going to give up.
