My life

I was toying with the idea of using blog sites like this and Wordpress pages to make a series of websites. Triond is a favourite, but one thing struck me. You have little control of this stuff, and there is a big worry about getting paid. When you read the Triond forum, people have nightmare stories about getting what they are owed. At least here on Blogit you always get paid! But I would feel more in-control if i called the shots when it came to a click-through link. Some blog sites simply... Sign in to see full entry.

One thing has just struck me! Instead of riding on the back of a subject, why not go straight to the source and write a site about the one thing I'm obsessed with at the moment? Making money with affiliates and commissions? Years ago I did a page on here, called Writers Wanted. It did Ok but the mistake I made, was that I pitched it at people who wanted to write first. The truth is, that people just want the money, they don't want to have to work for it. So you will get the traffic if you just... Sign in to see full entry.

One thing has struck me of late. I often use Ezine Article as a site where I put my stuff. Mainly becuase it ranks so high and gets so much traffic. I have over 4,000 hit on some of my modest works. And of course I don't earn a penny off that. Which draws me to one curious point: how do people make money from it and what is it really for? One thing you can do is never write an article yourself, but simply make a web site and fill it up with other people's articles. They do the hard work, and you... Sign in to see full entry.

Read something today in the Mail (UK) Google Adsense pays only 0.60p for 1,000 clicks. I think that's less than 50 cents. So you have to have tens of thousands of hits a week, just to make a living wage. But remember, people have to pay to get traffic. So you can get someone boasting about a 1,000 dallars a month, but they have had to have poured 8 to 9 hundred dollars into their account in the first place! So it's just running to stand still. Surely it's better to get behind an affiliate... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been watching a video on Alex Collier. Now, it's not much different from the usual Alien/disaster conspiracy theory stuff. But one thing he said struck me as interesting. Many of his terrible predictions have never come true. He argues, that Aliens intervened to stop the atom bombs going off. But when you look at, this means he can't lose. If it happened, it's a case of I told you so. And if they stepped in to stop it, then he can say that we have them to thank for their behind the scenes... Sign in to see full entry.

Maybe this doesn’t pitch high in the states, but the money is all linked in, so when things get bad here, it’s coming your way. The truth is, no one really cares. Greece is on the verge of bankruptcy and will return to its old currency, but they are less concerned with that, than the football. The Germans hit the nail on the head, when they said the Greece’s were too lazy to pay what they owe. But look at it from their point of view: why work your selves to death to line someone else’s greedy... Sign in to see full entry.

I’m on holiday this week, and of course I feel guilty because I’m not knocking myself out doing all things I could not do while at work. The starter motor on the car is playing up, so I can’t risk going too far away, in case I can’t get back. But maybe this is a sign to make me stay at home and get some stuff done? But what? Writing? Well, I’ve written enough now to know that it needs a focus, otherwise it will end up like a lot of articles on Ezine or something. I’m past the point of trying to... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm often tempted to put gossip about work on my blog site. Now, I've said in the past that I was worried that this might leak out. There is even a sign up on the staff notice board, warning people of the dangers of Twittering and F-book! Basically they have a guilty conscience and don't want the truth coming out. God forbid, someone would actually tell the truth about the place? Once out, it would be impossible to un-ring that bell. So i have to speak in code. This blog gets quite a high pitch...

I've had a slight cold, which has knocked me back, and no magick is any good if you are not on top form. The lottery had bumped along. I would have got my money back, even playing my old numbers. But you are just buying back your own money so what's the point? Some good ideas in the pipeline, mostly hobby stuff, but some serious thoughts too. Have thought a lot of spells over time. What if you made a promise to your self in the future, that you would go back and re-assure yourself that all would... Sign in to see full entry.

There are a lot of articles cropping up on the web about Cloud Publishing. What struck me was that anyone who subscribes to a blogging system like this, has been taking part in cloud publishing for years. After all, few of the things I write here are ever stored on my PC. What's the point? I don't really use them as Diary entries, or major pieces of work, it's just to blog. Hopefully the men upstairs won't wipe the whole thing and I can go back and see my work. But it grows as people read my... Sign in to see full entry.
