…and we’re back!

After being out of commission for the summer and these most recent months, the time has come for me to resume blogging and get you that information that you crave. My apologies for my disappearance, but now that school has resumed I am prepared to deliver on some new excellent content that will get you back off your feet making money online in no time.

Wait… You Were Gone This Summer!?
Yes! I actually used a ghostwriter all summer to fill in for me and keep Jimvesting populated with articles. Because I used a freelance writer, I told him that I wanted to have him put information up about the merits of freelance writing, as that was a topic that I haven’t hit on much and is certainly a valid way to make money online in your spare time.

Who did I use? None other than Chris from Chrisblogging.com. Chris and I had a good arrangement over the summer to blog, and I think that he did an excellent job writing convincing content that was intellectually-stimulating to boot. When I accepted an internship offer in New York City over this past summer, I knew that I would need a writer if I wanted to keep things running. Chris is actually one of our readers here at Jimvesting.com, and because I knew he was interested in my blog I figured that he would be a good candidate to help out. This just goes to show that the relationships you form on your blogs can carry you through your online careers.

What I Did This Summer

Over this past summer, I worked at a major investment bank on Wall Street. I interned in the investment banking division as a summer analyst and will be returning full-time next year as an analyst. At the bank, I was given the opportunity to work closely with CEOs of several multi-billion dollar companies, created valuation models to pitch new investment ideas to our clients and even got to work on one of the largest M&A (mergers and acquisitions) deals of the year.

When you hear about investment banking in the news, it sounds like a completely different industry than blogging… but I think that you would all be surprised as to just how many synergies there are between the two. One characteristic that allows people to excel in banking is an entrepreneur attitude: the ability to think outside the box, deliver quality work and be as efficient as possible. Needless to say, anyone who has a positive work ethic and can deliver creative solutions is fit to work in many industries outside of the online realm if they so choose.

Regardless, I am back at the helm at Jimvesting.com and ready to put more awesome material into your inbox every morning. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for sticking with us!
