Hi, my name is Drew and about 6 months ago I became unemployed when the section of the Company I had worked at for the last 6 years was closed down.

I live in a small City called Dunedin which is on the South Island of New Zealand, we came here as a lifestyle choice and we are not that interested in moving to the big smoke.

I have applied for a few jobs around town, but so far I have had not had a positive outcome from any of them. On July 17 a story on slashdot caught my eye about a guy making a good living from blogging, problogger.net, I’d recently started blogging and thought it might be worth a try.

So after having a bit of a think about it, I decided to go for it.
