All of my income comes from the internet. To some people this could be a good thing, or a bad thing. It all depends on how you look at it. Before we go into talking about the pros and cons of online income you need to decide when it is a good time to rely…
Jon Waraas Another Young Entrepreneur
Some of you might know Jon Waraas, others may not. He is not a high profile blogger like John Chow, but he is another young entrepreneur like me. Actually he is younger than me! He is 20 years old, but I met him when he was 19. I actually found his blog through John’s. It…
Some People Just Don’t Get It
Man I always tell people doing internet work is not as simple as it seems. Yeah I make my own hours and yeah I work from home, but I DO have to put in a lot of hours of work to make the money that I do. I hate the people that think they can…
Watch out Tribal Fusion Publishers
I have been using Tribal Fusion on ThinkComputers for a while now. I really like them and they offer great CPM’s for technology related sites. I really have never had a problem with them, I always get paid on time and there have not been any issues with customer support or anything like that. Well…
3 Guidelines for Starting a Website
Ok well starting a website or blog is not that easy, but if you follow some simple guidelines you can have a fairly decent website that people will want to come back to. After thinking about all of the steps in creating a website I have come up with three guidelines you should follow if…
The Real John Chow
I’m sure a lot of you know John Chow by now. Maybe from his four front page Digg’s in 2 days, or from his many ways to make money online, or even more recently for his 13,000 AGLOCO signups, but do you know the real John Chow? I met John Chow around 2 years ago….
Digg Gets Owned by It’s Own Users
Last night the scene at Digg.com was quite funny. It’s not often you head over to Digg and see every story on the front page be about the same thing. Not to mention all the stories were just links to various sites, but had the HD-DVD encryption key in them. Some of the stories were…
One Day Blog Silence
Another Digg For ThinkComputers
Yesterday my review of the Icydock MB561 4-Bay External SATA Removable Hard Drive Enclosure made it to the front page off Digg. As I always say I rarely submit things to Digg. Just for the fact that most of the reviews are not super interesting and I don’t want to get the reputation of someone…
Don’t Blog Just to do it…
I have come across so many blogs that when I go to them and read the posts they just seem boring or they seem like they are copied from other sites. Some people blog either to make money or to try to become popular so they do the exact same things as other popular blogs…
Smart PageRank
Because of comments on my dnScoop post and some e-mails about it I also want to tell you about Smart PageRank. Apparently according to Smart PageRank dnScoop was using under-handed tactics to steal website traffic. Smart PageRank was so upset they created dnscoopsucks.com. Now it seems everything between them is ok. There is only one…
Make Your Blog Your Own
As I said before I prefer going to everyone’s blogs instead of reading the RSS, therefore I use bookmarks. I like going to the blogs themselves because it brings me into the bloggers “world”. This personal feel is something I try to give to my readers too. That is why I have changed elements of…
Quit Looking for Instant Results!
I have seen so many people give up on making money off the internet. One of the main reasons for this is they want instant results. A lot of people just think they can throw some ads on a website and the next day they will be making good money. You may laugh at this,…
Text Link Ads
Well some of you may have noticed the Featured Sites section on the side of the site. That is because I signed up for Text Link Ads last night. To my surprise my site was instantly approved. I’ve heard of a lot of other blogs have had a hard time getting accepted. Maybe I’m just…
Vote for a new Star Wars Stamp
Last week when Ashley and I were down at the Waterfront I walked by a mailbox and I had to do a double take. When I looked for the second time I was like, “It’s R2D2!!”. Ashley was wondering why I was so excited. Of course she is not a Star Wars fan like I…
