I’m Back and on a Mission!
There’s something to be said for adversity. Personally, I don’t like facing too much adversity at one time, but every time I do I come out on the other end stronger. The power outage was an inconvenience and an experience to learn from. There were several action items I took away from the experience. I’ve [...]
Why I Started Using Chitika Again
Some time ago I used Chitika as a way to monetize my sites. The setup was easy. All I had to do was sign in, configure the ad size and color to match my site and place the code on my blog/website. I thought of Chitika sort of like how I thought of Google AdSense. [...]
Experiment with Ad Placement
I’ve read over and over on the internet that you should play around with your ad placements, size, color, etc for maximum return. I guess if you read something enough times eventually it will sink in. Abandoning a Blog One of my newly created blogs has been taking quite a long time to get off [...]
Another Residual Milestone (that took forever to achieve)
Okay, I finally made it. I finally earned $20,000 in residual income this year. When I went to bed last night I was 26 cents away from my milestone. When I woke up this morning, I had surpassed it! Of course after a momentary celebration, I had to take a more detailed look at how [...]
Choosing the Write Path
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the month of August is a month of reflection and re-evaluation. If you don’t take time to look at where you’ve been, you’re bound to make a few errors in judgment going forward. So, in order to plan for the future, you must take the past into consideration. [...]
iNJFM: Monetizing a Blog with Zazzle
I recently received an email from a writer asking for advice on how to earn money from her own writing site. I probably should have answered, “When I start making money from my site, I’ll let you know.” Don’t get me wrong, I do earn some money here, but just about all of my other [...]
Switching Blog Themes: Is it Worth It?
Here’s the scoop. It’s quite obvious that NJFM is undergoing a transformation. The reason for the change is several fold: The old theme stopped working behind the scenes. There were too many errors and the load was too slow. I wanted something lighter and airier and easier for me to handle. NJFM, although I love [...]
I Liked January, 2010…Sort Of
Things seem to be turning around on the residual income front. I’m back on track for hitting the $2,000 residual income mark (haven’t hit it yet, but it’s getting closer). I owe most of my income turnaround to eHow and Suite 101. They had to compensate for my dropping AdSense numbers. Those blasted AdSense numbers [...]
Add Financial Stocking Stuffers to Your Blogs
I was looking at my August earnings and realized that without my stocking stuffers, I would have to work a little harder to reach my financial goals. My first long term goal is to earn $166.66 per day (that’s $5,000 in monthly residual income). Every goal in between is a mini-goal. So far I’m a [...]
From $0 to $35 a Day
From time to time I find threads on forums that I find to be very interesting and informative. With information overload occurring quite frequently, I find that I usually save or .pdf some threads to come back to them later. Here’s a thread on the Warrior Forum started by one of the users. The topic [...]
