About
Working from home full time since 2005. I made a total of $75 in my first 2 years. Anyone else would have given up by now. But I continued on to make $xxxx last year. Just when you think you should give up, that's the time when you really need to push harder. It doesn't get any easier with time, it gets harder.
George C. over at BloggerLounge.net tagged me on the newest link train to hit the blogosphere, the MyBlogLog Linktrain. All aboard!
Here are the rules:
1) Write a short introduction about how you found this list and include a link back to that blog.
2) COPY the rules and ENTIRE list below and post it on your blog.
3) Take “My New Community Members” and move them into the “The Original Community Members” list.
4) Find 3 new blogs, join their MyBlogLog Community and add them to the “My New Community Members” section. Remember to also add the “Join the Community” link next to your new blogs. ( Example: http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/community/ReformatThis/ )
5) Join as a member to each Community listed here by clicking on “Join the Community”. The goal is that all of the new Members listed will join your community, and you should do the same!
So you want to make money. Who doesn’t?� But let’s say that you’ve got a few good ideas, you are innovative, and know what to do with your time and money to get something out of those ideas.
Get those ideas down on paper, create your gadget, piece of software, or “next best thing”. But how and why are people going to find out about your new item?�? The blogosphere!�? Yes, friends the blogosphere is here to help.
Now this isn’t a sure fire 6 figure method, but projecting you and your product out to an interested audience is key for audience uptake. So have at it!
Let’s look at what may be involved:
Start your own domain for you or the product
Start a blog on this domain
Join Technorati
Network, Network, Network!
Allow user input from your blog to seep into your changes and modifications to the device. Make it more user-friendly.
Now ideally people will be gaining interest in your product. Maybe you can even sell some through your site. If you’re really lucky someone may offer you say “six-figures” to buy the product from you?
So let’s not kid ourselves, Microsoft’s .NET platform isn’t great. However I will also admit that I’m most proficient at coding in C# or VB.NET. For that reason I’ve chosen to write my last few projects in .NET. The platform works for me.
Now i’ve got plenty of friends who regularly chastize me for preferring to code in .NET. I’ll let it slide. I agree there are and may be a more optimal coding solution. This summer I plan to explore that a bit more. PHP, Ruby, The Rails framework. All things I want to start to learn.
Now let’s piss some people off. I hate blog for money and love innovation. John one of the biggest “blog for money” moneymakers out there, why do i review him? Because he is one of the few people who can do it right.
I’ve been reading John’s blog since late December, and he’s got something there. Yeah the majority of his content is based on making money online, he’s got his little things he does to keep the reader interested.
He does quite a few restaurant reviews. They always seem to make me hungry, or want to go visit these placestoeat. (Saying I want to eat there, and I could afford eating there are two entirely different things.)
The thing I really like about John’s site is that while he has no argument against blogging for money, he has diversity to his postings. It seems that so few who blog for money have any diversity to their topics. John also had quite a few posts on technology and gadgets. That’s the stuff I like. (SD USB drive anyone?)
And for the money… There’s no shortage of it. John has great posts about travels, gadgets, food, but the money is what attacts attention. Ok when he makes thousands a month, people want to see what’s up. Can you blame them?
John’s got a good blog. Err… Great blog. I better watch what I say, he may start trying to throw rocks at me if i’m not nice enough. After all he is evil.
I hate blog for money. I heart blog for innovation. It just freakin’ hit me. Jam packed niches, blog for cash. Make money online. Eff that! I’d tried it, and it’s not only hard but how many ways can you say something that hasn’t been said a million times. I don’t care if you make it sound original and it’s the same thing in principle it just gets annoying!
The sky is blue.
The sky above us has a blue hue.
The sky is cerulean.
with the exception of when there is a could covered sky, the sky is blue.
the color of the sky is azure.
No way to get around it, it’s the same damn thing.
I like money as much as the next guy, but I think i’m willing to say I like an engaged, excited, and loyal reader even more! Money is boring, money is politics. Money is what you get from working your 9 to 5 job because your blog does NOT pay the bills.
I say blog for innovation, new ideas, and new ways of doing things. I’ve been told before that I have a new idea every day Maybe I do? Capitalizing on new ideas and new ways of doing things is what will eventually in my opinion make a person an overnight superstar on the internet. Not the Joe Averagemanblogger. I think developing ideas and trying to stay out of niches are what allow a person to be inventive, and make headway. dodgeball.com anyone? They were the precursor the Twitter. Those guys quit Google, they’re my freakin heros of the week! I say they should go back into the world and create the next new thing, again. I don’t care if i’m not a millionaire, it’d be nice, i’m not kidding myself. However, i’d rather be the guy who created the next new thing, again, and again.
