What’s AverageGal.com?
- October 20th, 2008
Hi, my name is Rachel Holmgren. I’m just your average gal-next-door. I graduated from College with a Business Management Major and a Communications Minor. Shortly thereafter, my husband and I married, and two kids later I found myself working a 9-5 job for one of the largest banks in the country, as a Credit Analyst. I loved the people, but found myself wanting to spend more time with my kids while making a full time income. I also wanted more control of my earning potential and felt that wasn’t possible without starting my own company. My husband and I fell in love with the possibilities of e-commerce, and together we decided that it was time for me to take the leap.
My hope and desire for AverageGal.com is to be as transparent as possible in my day-to-day discoveries and lessons on the road to blogging success. I’d like to show you how I’m going to make a full-time income blogging; trust me, if I can do it, anyone can! Each day, with a little help from my husband (who still works that 9-5 job), I’ll be sharing with you my trials and tribulations of the blogging world (while also trying to keep my 2 and 3 year old daughters happy and occupied).
If you’re stuck in a dead end job, just want a fresh start where you can be your own boss, or you’re simply interested if I can actually accomplish this feat… read on and follow me through my journey! I look forward to hearing your insight and any tips you have for me along the way. Happy Blogging!

Very nice site! I look forward to seeing you go from internet novice to blogging riches!
Hi Rachel.
I came across your blog thru John Chow.com.
I have looked at your three blogs and find that you have a nice start going.
I’m not sure just how long you’ve been running the three, but I did notice that you’ve got ads going on all three…not saying that this is a bad thing mind you. I just do not like to see a blog just overrun with them.
Good luck to you and I’ll be around to see how you do…Good Luck to you in the future…

You asked to leave comment on the page about Contest but I could not find anycomment section there. So, I am leaving it here!
Hi there Rachel!
I surfed upon your site from Michelle’s Writing the Cyber Highway. I plan to be fully self-employed in the long-run so I am definitely going to be checking back your site regularly for tips in achieving that goal. Thanks for setting up this site and look forward to more articles from you!
Glad to hear you enjoy the site. I look forward to hearing about your success and venture into the self employed world.
First thing I like to say, The site looks good. Fresh!

Wooooow you have taken a very brave step. If i were you i would first start a blog and see the response and then think about the job.
