You Gotta Get Active In Order to Enjoy Passive Income

I was on Kidgas’ blog today and his final statement on a recent post made me chuckle “Just wish that passive income was less active.”
He’s got a point, but residual income becomes more passive and less active over time. The amount of initial activity usually depends on two things:

How much money you want [...]

Writing – The Mind/Body Connection

Last night I had the pleasure of attending parents’ night at my daughter’s school. It’s my annual chance to follow my daughter’s class schedule to undergo a condensed version of her day. I started out in her homeroom and then walked around the school going to all nine of her classes.
At the end [...]

An Update to My Unscientific Experiment

A month ago I performed a little experiment.  I wrote three articles using the same keywords on three different sites (Suite 101, eHow and HubPages) to see how much ‘Google Favor’ affects the success of each article. The purpose of the experiment was to ensure that I was spending my time wisely.

One of the best ways for me to see if I’m headed in the right direction or if I should change my course is to [...]

Confessions of a Non Twitterer

I had resisted signing up for a Twitter account when I first heard about Twitter. I couldn’t see a reason for Twittering.
Over time, I acquiesced and signed up. I checked out a few Twitter services and set up Tweet Later, automated my RSS feed through Twitter and maybe a couple of other things. [...]

Playing with Tiny URL’s

Sometimes when I’m supposed to be working, I’m not. As part of my goof off time, I ended up on the other side of the internet. I can’t say how I got there, but I ended up at TinyUrl.com.
If you have twittered or tweeted, you’re familiar with tiny URLs. Since Twitterers [...]

A Writing Tip or Two I’ve Learned

I’m going to begin this post by saying rather emphatically, “I’m no expert.” So, take anything I say here with a grain of salt. Now having said that I do want to share a few things I’ve learned about writing along the way.

Stop Me Before it’s Too Late

Just recently I got to take a look at some of my responses to reader comments. All I have to say is, someone, please stop me before my responses become totally unintelligible.
