My life

After wrestling with my latest sites I've created a forum and a very advanced (too much for me) php MySql site with Go Daddy. I've been with 1&1 for years but they are always yesterday's men. Setting up a forum with Go daddy was so simple it's laughable. Plus they have a very advanced option which could mean anyone setting up an alternative site to this one in no time at all. Here, people could enter their own info and make their own leads, almost like setting up a blog social network sites.... Sign in to see full entry.

I have just made my own site with a forum to attract visitors. You can find it here: Tinwell This way I hope to get enough people to justify selling it to someone who wants to build it up. Other than that, I might make some money from it myself. There are only 2 things which sell web sites, interest and Traffic. I can provide the interest with so many quirky angles, like Sci-fi and UFO etc. The traffic has to come from people wanting to get in on it. And that comes through providing a forum,...

Quick note to say that if anyone has any doubts about how much a modest website can make, take a look at the site flipping sites. Sitepoint ect. As long as you can get traffic to them and roll the counter over, you can sell it. Doesn't matter if it doesn't make any money, but it helps. All that matters is traffic, and like I said, Utube is the key to getting that. And it's cheap. Sign in to see full entry.

I've decided that the only way I can get quality traffic to the site is to make my own publicity. Things are just too random to trust to chance. Sure, I could pay for some, as I've done in the past. But they are just fleeting, and you have to do it all over again. YouTube is a good way of getting traffic. This is my sorry little effort: ME So you can I'm not a natural Spielberg! There are some good channels I subscribe to, and they get traffic with ease. Of course it helps if you are into the... Sign in to see full entry.

Since I've been putting a lot of my old stuff on Hun pages and Squiddoo, I've noticed they have some advanced software to stop you doubling up on content. Many of my articles have already appeared on Ezinearticles and Helium. Ezine has hits in the thousands! But they can track it. You can put anything here, they don't seem to mind. Never mention that card game beginning with a P! They hate that. I must admit, that Hub get a lot of hits and are highly ranked on Google. With Ezine, together they... Sign in to see full entry.

For once I've actually heard some good news which could save the day. Our local authority is responsible for handing out the benefits. So they placed a calculator on their site. If all goes well, I could actually be only 30 pounds a week worse off, signing on the dole, as apposed to working in the supermarket. So I if I could make up the difference by making money with the web site, I could walk out of the place with no worries. I like working and enjoy the company of the people I work with. But...

The test website: Tinwllbooks is coming on. It will live or die from the add, so the money it makes can only come from them. 2 tyes of ADD, simple click-through, like Adsense, and the second Affiliate links like Amazon. I am worried about laying it on a bit thick, but I've seen other sites where people knock you out with adds. Look at MySpace? It hurts your eyes to watch it, and they are getting all the money. Best of luck to them, but I don't want to scare people off. As for marketing? I could... Sign in to see full entry.

I wish we could pull in more customers from the outside world, here to Blogit. Some of us would make enough to do this as a full time living. But Blogit don't advertise much and you have to stumble on it really. The big hitters seem a world away. Maybe I'm being a bit greedy, but I can't be alone in thinking it could work.

does web design drive you crazy? Take a look at this site: http://ring.tinwellbooks.co.uk/ Not a big deal, but this is the test page for a site I want to get going. You would not believe the trouble this bloody thing has caused me. I want to be clever and run with the big boys and use CSS. But of course I'm so out of my depth that I keep making silly mistake. Sure, the damn thing works now but it has taken me all day to get this up. Stay tuned! Steve Sign in to see full entry.

I have been going into the field of Adsense and MLM for years. My conclusion is, that it is possible to make some money from it, but with a caution. My evidence is gathered from sites like Sitepoint and digitalpoint and Flippa. The last one is the give away. If you can do up a site and flip it for more money you can make a living from it. https://flippa.com/buy/sold is an interesting site. Here you can see what the real market is, but take a look at the income stats? Can you see where they talk... Sign in to see full entry.
