So,
It has been a week since my last post and I started back last night working on two things:
1) Learning more about ads and how they work.
I have been reading Paul Piotrowsky’s blog, www.paulymath.com, on adsense. It is a 5 part series and he, unlike the majority of the get-rich-in-6-months-by-buying-this-$40-program-worth-$999-normally people out there, gives a good bit of information on his actual blog so that you can learn a little of what is going on. He also explains in one of his posts that it takes hard work, like any other business. I actually found his site doing a search on P90X workouts, he had built an excel spreadsheet that I am currently using. His approach, like the P90X folks is right down my alley; nothing is easy and it is going to take hard work! He does have some one-on-one counseling he does and some other things that seem pretty legit, but at this point, I am still data gathering and learning before I purchase any plans. I also read another one of his blog entries about this other blog/ad guru, Zac Johnson, and if you go follow my hyperlink you can get to Zac’s site and the free download. It was a great read that answer lots of the acronyms I have been looking for as well as some info on blogging for money. Speaking of…
2) Creating a blog for some added income
So, this what I spent my time on yesterday. I started downloading lots of widgets to put in the sidebar, linkback to facebook, twitter, etc. and track hits to the site, etc. Well, one of them crapped my site out and it took quite a while to figure out which one and get it back up. But here I am with some working widgets.
So, what next? I think I am going to finish reading Paul Piotrowski’s blog series on adsense and try to hook those up on my site here. So, maybe in a few days you will see some ads over there on the right!
Check back soon!!
