I changed my mind – I’m not selling the site yet. I was going to post about this the other day, then I discovered this site had been totally splogged, and that made me even more certain about getting the site into better shape and then selling it for a decent price eventually. Then I [...]

As I mentioned recently, I’ve got a master plan for Project B-2 Bomber, which boils down to: keep doing what I’m doing until it reaches a certain point in traffic, then pitch the next phase of it to investors. There’s got to be someone out there who will see the same potential I’m seeing and [...]

ummmmm Internet Homesteading? Looking for an identity
What Mark talks about here is exactly what I’m doing. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be independent from the rat race, from cities where the jobs are (but the cost of living is high). I don’t want to worry about whether my day [...]

Some exciting new possibilities and ventures dropped into my lap over the weekend.

I worked out my dilemma about whether to build content or work on monetizing and other stuff.
Content will be priority, but I’m being more selective about it. For example, ChillyCool will be getting a minimum of 4 posts per week instead of 12, because I just don’t get that domain. I can’t see the longterm [...]

I believe the longterm solution to my making a full time living online is to produce tons of great content that people want to link to. I believe from there I can launch sites that will sell them stuff.
But as I mentioned last night, in the meantime my earnings are dropping, which makes me want [...]

A lot of successful blogs don’t offer anything of real value. They’ll take a problem everyone’s trying to solve, say they have a solution, and:

Write a post that sounds like it has the solution, if only you could figure out what [...]
