Hi Dawn,
Well, I've been offering my own services for years, this is actually what allowed me to survive during a long time. I'm also doing some money with affiliate marketing and selling MRR products thanks to the OTO Secret Weapons (actually I hadn't even thought of selling MRR / PLR products before), but not as much as I'd like to - for now. It helps, though.
I've got some knowledge of Forex trading but I have barely scratched the surface, I'm staying away for now as it can be a very risky game. On the bright side, I see the "getting paid to advertise" activity as a long-term solution. I'm only making small amounts out of it for now but I'm confident that it will slowly increase.
Seb.
