    Costa Rica Day 3: Tinamaste

It is approximately 30 minutes by car to the beach, and 30 minutes to San Isidro de El General, a large city with a huge farmers market.

    Questions about Turning Your Blog a Business

    June 23, 2021 / 32 Comments

    The Business of Blogging: In this post I'm going to answer readers questions about making your blog a business. As a CPA one of my greatest pet peeves is "barber chair" advice. I can't tell you how many times I've had to set clients straight when they start a question with " my neighbor told me...." There is also a lot of misinformation out on the web and it's difficult for new bloggers and side hustle businesses to sort out the good from the bad.
