Check out this Yahoo article, 7 Ways to Make Extra Money.  All 7 ways are great and they include things like Build a Brand, Start a Blog (you know I love that ONE! Launch a Website, etc  But the one I want to call your attention to is…Design T-Shirts!  The paragraph on Design T-Shirts features my friend and working mother of three!, Jen Goode, who pays her mortgage by selling T-shirts on CafePress.

Jen Goode is likely the nicest person I’ve met in the last year.  She’s bubbly, kind, generous plus smart, fun and just and overall great girl.  We met in Denver in November and she gave me a button with her signature Penguin artwork.  I put it on my Timbuk2 canvas bag and it’s been there since.  Everytime I look at it I smile because it reminds me of Jen and her infectious positive energy.

She also is responsible for telling me about Affiliate Summit. Jen told me I should consider going to the conference and learning more about the opportunities to earn passive income via affiliate programs.  She never mentioned she was a six figure earner but she did say that she lead the mentor program at Affiliate Summit and that I should look into it.  I was luke warm to the idea at the time but she was SO nice and she’d caught my interest.  I wanted more information.  I needed to know whether working mothers could make money from affiliate marketing opportunities.  I researched the conference and kept talking to Jen via facebook and twitter.  She was so encouraging and fun to talk to.  Jen was a huge reason that I decided to attend.  So, isn’t it amazing what positive energy alone can spread in the world?  Jen alone opened my eyes to alternative income possibilities that I’m still learning about.

If you love penguins, you just have to check out her artwork.  She also creates lots of other fun, upbeat characters, so check out her work at www.jgoodedesigns.com or www.jgoode.com.

Jen, Thanks for being a great role model for working mothers and thanks for being you!
