Q. Tell the world something about yourself and what you do in life?
Holly: My name is Holly Mann and I am 27-year-old single mom and entrepreneur. I started working online 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my son and financially in a very bad place. Prior to that I was in the Army and also worked as a civilian in Iraq, six months after the war started. When my son was 4 1/2 months old, I made a choice to sell all of our meager belongings and move to Thailand, where I figured I could live affordably while starting my online business, and providing for my son. I didn’t want to put him in a daycare facility in the states and work a normal job. To everyone’s surprise, I bought two one-way tickets to Thailand and we moved there and started a new life. I began to dive into working online so excessively that I hardly slept, while caring for my colicky baby and copying the techniques that I saw working for the wealthy marketing gurus. It paid off! By the fourth month of my relentless learning and applying -I made my first big check – which was more than I had saved the entire time I worked in Iraq the year before. Since that time, I have never looked back! After attaining that life change, I wrote a guide named Honest Riches. It is a comprehensive step-by-step guide to making money online, and I share all the methods I use to do so. The guide has sold more than 35,000+ copies and all updates are free to buyers.
For more info you can check out my profiles on Facebook or Twitter.
Q. What was the story behind your Blog?
Holly: I was never really into blogging until sometime in 2007, I decided to create Honest Holly. I wanted a way to connect with others online and share methods to making money online, so I knew I needed a blog. Initially, I wanted to purchase HollyMann.com, since it is my name – but someone I know bought it already. I was frustrated by that slightly, and decided to buy HonestHolly.com because I noticed people online started to refer to me as “honest holly.” They found my marketing methods to be really transparent and honest, compared to many of the other styles of marketing out there. I thought that was a good brandable or memorable name – and I took it and went with it. Later on, the person who bought my HollyMann.com domain, ended up handing it over to me. So I do occasionally post personal updates on there.
Q. Have you earned any money from been a Blogger?
I have earned some income from my blog – mostly from affiliate commissions and sales. I will at times write posts on a certain topic, like Wordpress, for example. Then after writing a very informative and useful article on that topic, I will offer additional resources related to Wordpress. The additional resource that I recommend will be an affiliate product. So if the reader buys it, I receive a commission. I haven’t created a real stable and solid sales funnel from my blog yet, as I still have my son home with me full time and I am lacking in the area of free time to do so. In the near future I will offer some type of free report and create a more profitable funnel for the blog.
Q. Would you tell us about ONE of your famous posts?
Holly: One of my most popular posts is here: “How Working Online Has Drastically Transformed Me.” It was a reflective post with photos of my life 5 years prior to working online – when I lived in the hills and mountains of northern Thailand. It was personal and I shared about my time living there, my lack of money and how I paid $50 a month to rent out a little shack-type home. I think the post may have inspired others to gain hope in the possibilities that can come with working online.
Q. .If I asked you to suggest ONE Blogger friend to send him/her a Famous Bloggers Club invitation, who you will suggest?
Holly: JK Swopes of ImwithJoe.com

Been to Bangkok City twice now, first time was in July 2004, then back at Songkran 2009. What a fantastic place! It supplies for everybody: if your looking for cozy locals there is plenty of them, if you want better off thai food there is a great deal and nightlife is amazing. If you want a low-budget holiday, you can have it – if you want a costly holiday, you can have it as well. My friend is really in love with the place and has just bought into a massage shop over there. My kids love it too. What a great place to celebrate Songkran!
