I have tried to make money online. I have a web site called http://bighamspublishing.com. I have a blog and a shop that sells ebooks on self sufficiency, saving money, making money, saving coupons, budgeting. I have had this site online since Nov. '08, even have over 95 followers on twitter.

But alas, NO SALES from my ebooks. I see all kinds of ebooks sites selling ebooks, and ppl saying they are making thousands, but is this true? Does a person have to lie to get sales? Do they have to have affiliates to do their selling? I have done tons of reading and research, and marketing, what's the catch? Do you have to spend thousands to make thousands?

I think to become self sufficient, one has to have a legitimate product that one can hold in the hand, to make any money. You have to have money for marketing to sell your first item. You have to do tons of offline marketing to sell anything. If so many people can make thousands of sells, whats the secret? Of course you have to buy their secret before they say anything.

How does one become self sufficient and make money when your on dissability and a fixed income. How can you do this with nothing to start with? Big questions, small answers.

I am a mom of three girls. I live on a farm of 9 acres with my adopted mom. My husband of 13 years and I are both dissabled, but happy. My mom and dad are both close to retirement, and two daughters in high school, and one in college studying vetrinary assistant.

My dream is to make this farm income active with gardens, animals, and herbs. I  have already bought three fruit trees and 36 strawberry plants to begin. We also have 5 cats to keep mole and mice population down. 6 Yorky/Chiwahua dogs and two horses. I want to have chickens, hogs, a couple of goats, and a couple cows for milk and meat. I am planning on becoming more self sufficient and make this farm productive in food and crafts, hopefully making the bunkhouse into a quilt shop/crafts and market to add income to the self sufficiency.

So I am searching for help in the garden, animal husbandry, marketing, seed capital for tools and livestock, and grants to weatherize and fix the house for mom. She is disabled, becoming blind, diabetic, and 63 years old. This house was built back in the early 1940's, so it is old and needs a little tlc.
