My life

I've been searching for a subject to write about on a big scale. This is to launch a commercial project on the net to make some money through Adsense and the like. I've tried various projects in the past. House building, Green issues, and some very dark and dangerous passages, which I dare not revisit. But I was watching an obscure program on an even more obscure BBC channel about 1960's science fiction. Of course being the BBC centered mainly on itself, but the show was good. Now there came a...

After a very slow start to the year, I’ve decided to place a huge job lot on Ebay to try and clear the shelves. I’ve done this in the past but have had mixed reactions, once getting involved with a very disagreeable fellow! But it does work and you can get a modest amount of money for the lot. I won’t try and convert the currencies, but it works out that a box costs about a tenner and I think I can put together 10 boxes. I’ve quoted 700 books, but I now have to find if 700 books fits into ten of... Sign in to see full entry.

One idea which has always grabbed my imagination, is the Blitzing of web sites with junk E-books. There is an argument that if you have enough stuff out there you will get enough traffic and be able to funnel it to paying sites. Of course you need traffic that competes with the big boys to get even a part time income, but I just can't turn my back on the idea! When I take a look at the income of others here on Blogit and work out the numbers with other sites like AC I say to myself: “that'll do... Sign in to see full entry.

I think if I had enough confidence, I would make most of my entries as a video blog. The main reason being that it's easy. You just sit and ramble away and convince yourself that what you are saying is important, and that the nation is hanging on our every word. Bu when I take a look at the efforts of others in the field, I worry that I might be looked at as contemptuously as them. They just seem empty headed to me, where as the written word can reflect more. If you give people enough free... Sign in to see full entry.

At a crossroads! Since Christmas I've been giving a lot of thought as to how I'm going to make money. My job is so pointless, it's the very epitome of a Dead End Job. Trouble is around here, it's the least worsted. So I need to turn to my own skills to make it. And that means the Web. I've tried Web design, and the problem with that is no one will pay you the full rate. Bit and bobs of work, but you can't make a living from it. By that I mean, if you put all your efforts into designing a unique... Sign in to see full entry.

Being a keen seller on Ebay I'm always looking for ways to get round the hydrous fees! To list all my books would cost me 70 pounds sterling, a month, even is I don't sell a single bloody book. So you can see that I want to try hard and avoid this, especially in view of the slow sales. So I've found a way round it. I list a group of books together as a job lot. But of course people only want to buy on or two from that lot, so I make them a deal on the side. Selling just the ones they want and... Sign in to see full entry.

White Christmas. As I look out the window of our Lincolnshire home in the UK I wonder what ever happened to Global Warming? This is the first Christmas day that snow has been on the ground since I was a little kid back in the 60's. Is the change more scuttle? I think certain parts of the world will be heated up but other places where the Gulf stream changes may even e colder. We are certainly wetter here. I can joke about it as its a novelty, but I fear for people in India and Pakistan which are... Sign in to see full entry.

Just listening to the old ABBA track on the radio, reminds me of something which has been puzzling me for some time. Now I know ABBA were never big in the US but the background to the story is that a girl recalls the routine of her everyday life in detail, and thinks how dull and ordinary it all was before she met the man of her dreams. A little sexist unbalanced for today, I know, but their hearts were in it. The point is, that how would you react knowing this was the last day before something... Sign in to see full entry.

If you have never had a lucid dream, you will never have felt the thrill that here at last is proof of the occult. Once the world of the supernatural opens up for you, everything changes. It has all been worth it. I often think about packing this awful job in and trying something else. But I always stop. Mainly because I've done that in the past and it has had a terrible effect on me, but also because I know I am on the threshold of a major break-through. And that is Remote Viewing the lottery...

If anyone has ever heard of Alibris books I used to use them years ago, but was taken by the shinny lights of Ebay that I gave up and convinced myself that they were the one and only. Now with Ebay messing things up so badly, I fear for the day when the fees are just too high and I will have to look for another site. There are many good sites out there, but few come anywhere near the big boys. Amazon are big bruisers when it comes to marketing, but I think I will give Alibris another try. Not as...
