I realized within a day of posting my insane content writing goals for 2008 that I could use some help. Hired writers to the rescue! Right?
I’m not sure. How do you know that when someone sells you “unique” articles, they aren’t selling them over and over? Aside from asking people you know and trust, I [...]

I’ve mapped out my goals for 2008, and they are huge. I had been planning to build more article reprint sites, but instead I’m revamping the ones I have into original content sites. This’ll be tough - they’re on a range of topics I’m not terribly familiar with. But I know how to research and [...]

I started using Todoist a few weeks ago. It’s pretty powerful once you figure out all its functions. Here’s how I’m using it.
Nested sidebar folders. In the sidebar, you have a list all your to-do lists. Call them folders, projects, whatever. I set up three major categories for my sites: Affiliate Marketing, Blogging, Other. Then [...]

I’ve got so much going on I haven’t even gotten around to posting about last month’s earnings. I’ll get to it, just not tonight. Right now, I’m too busy building about 20 new sites. Yes, that’s right - overwhelmed with projects, and my solution is to start more.
But there it is, and what I’m rapidly [...]

Something’s been nagging at me for a while now, and I finally realized today what it is. My current business model seems to be:

Blog,
blog,
blog.

The idea being if I post often enough, I’ll eventually have enough traffic and my ad space will eventually be worth… what? A few hundred? Right now I have four sites I [...]

Thanks to Empress for notifying me the feed to this site had stopped working. I forgot to fix up the CNAME entry for Feedburner when I moved hosts a week ago. It’s now working fine.
(You’d think the fact the feed stats dropped by about 75% percent last week would have clued me in!)

As I researched incorporation, I started noticing a lot of remarks along the lines of:
“…which the state does not charge. Except California.”
Guess where I live. Yes, folks, to incorporate at all, even if I’m operating at a loss or put the business on hold for a few months at some point, I have to pay [...]

This July, I made: $355.57. Yeah, that’s a little lower than I estimated the other day - I suck at math. This time I’m right though! No, really. Sources of income, in order from highest to lowest:

/* : not the most ads sold, but I had an affiliate payout of $25
LinkWorth: with two affiliate payouts [...]

Lately I’ve been experimenting with ways to trim fat from my daily schedule. Today I decided to eliminate some blogs from my feedreader, which always seems to have “more than 100″ new posts for me. The funny thing is: who I eliminated.
I got rid of a lot of the A List/big guys/gurus not because I [...]

It’s been a productive week.
I changed all my blog email subscriptions from FeedBurner to FeedBlitz (which is also provided through FeedBurner). They just look nicer, have more options for your readers, etc.
I finally sold a BlogAds ad on B-2 Bomber. I think that’s the ideal network for that site, since the site’s focus is on [...]
