Brett Bartlett wrote a great article here on becoming an entrepreneur and starting your own business, perhaps from a hobby? His tips are free, though he has eBooks for sale and an annoying pop-up window if you stay on his site long enough. 

2. StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon led me to Brett's site. In their words "StumbleUpon is a collection of the best pages and sites on the internet." Tell them your interests and they'll suggest sites you should read.

4. Endear your clients without becoming annoying

clients. See what you think. StumbleUpon is a great resource if you like to read blogs of interest to you and your niche.
