How should I pursue my passion?
jeromec: I'm a big believer that passion can translate into making money on the Internet. Passionately working on something is inherently valuable - that is, it's at least valuable to the designer and others possibly as well. The trick is merging passion with something either highly valuable, or having value to many people. For example, being passionate about how bacteria forms on pennies may not yield much future by itself, but tweaking that passion to possibly an area of study for solutions to handling germ ridden objects like money could be quite profitable. You already have one of the best things I can suggest: a blog. This enables your potential value to be found. (one note: try having at least one picture for every entry) Next, think of how you might fit your passion in with existing lucrative areas. Last, continue to network/reach out to others, including those that might back your passion financially. It may take months, or years to cash in, but chances are you'd work on your passion anyway, and I believe that's a great precursor to success.
