Blogging Issues Part 1

One of the main issues that people who blog for money run into is the constant need to generate original content. Not only do they have to review web pages and products but they also have to create posts for inbetween sponsored opportunities for sites such as pay per post.

ALthoug for some this is fairly easy it does take up time and can seriously dig into your daily work day especially if you are blogging or running multiple blogs.

My advise, that I rearly follow myself is to keep a few timeless posts in the bank just in case you are in a rush and really need one quickly, remember be sure to replace these once used.

Get that number

If you've ever lost contact with a childhood friend or maybe work colleague then why not try and get back in touch using the Reverse Phone Registry, a fantastic site that will allow you to look up phone numbers nationwide.

This service is ideal for getting in contact with people you meet on business trips or even on vacation. Why not call up an old school friend to see what they are doing. It is a great example of how the web and practicality can work together.

Money Earnt Through Host Gator

Weel today I recieved notification that one of my hostgator banners had turned into a sale. This is great news as it will mean a further $50 to add to the total.

I'm not sure when this will be paid as I think the systems works something similar to adsense where you wait til the end of the month (so Sept), then wait a month for processing (Oct) and recieve mid way through the month after (Mid Nov). Just in time for Christmas eh.

Has anyone had success with this program?

SWAT Time

If you've ever seen those guys walking the streets that all most look like they are SWAT and wondered where the hell do you buy tactical pants like those, then this is the post for you.


A brief search on the net turned up this web site, lapolicegear.com, this is the one stop shop for everything from police to SWAT, desert storm to who knows what else. The products range from cool gadgets like the flashlights to combat gear. There is even a closeouts section so you can definitely pick up a bargain.

Its time to start making that list for Santa Claus.

Slow Goings

After a busy start to the month things have slowed down. I haven't seen many opps on either social spark or pay per post and despite putting in around 10 offers at sponsored reviews I have had no take up. To top that off Adsense is slow and the down time at my main site has meant traffic has dropped substantially.

I guess these are the times that makes you think about taking a different route to online riches. Do I use some of the money I have made as an investment in a new program that has been launched or use it to try and buy a site that is earning a monthly income. To be honest I don't think I have enough as yet in the kitty to be able to buy a site making 100$ per month.

Its time to get the thinking cap on and to come up with another income stream.

Sorting your hosting

Sorting out your web hosting is one of the first things you will have to do when trying to make an impact online. This will be one of the major decisions you make as moving isn't always as straight forward as it should be, it has thrown up one or two issues that made me wish i'd spent more time deciding on a good one rather than going for the first good deal I saw.


Help is at hand and its a good job because there are so many out there. Webhostingrating.com offers you a comparison site for web hosting of all kinds from cheap web hosting to dedicated servers it has everything that you will need. To top that off they have an awesome articles section so you can usually find help on anything from ruby on rails to this cpanel tutorial I found. This is great for newbie and intermediate users wanting to move to the next step with their site or blog, whether thats move to running a dedicated server and learning the ropes or picking up a few tips with a development language, you will probably find what you need in this library of articles.

If you are looking to set up a site, mabe move away from blogger or another free host make sure to check out what is out there. It might even help you spot something that you need in a host taht you didn't realise you needed.

Earn more at Digital Point

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I was rather fed up with being just under my target for the year so I decided to transfer some money across and beat that target. Before doing that I posted an add over at digital point in the link sales section offering links on my PR3 blog. Having not heard anything straight away I forgot about it until the following day.

After checking my email and private messages in the forum I managed to generate over $200 in link sales. I'll be adding this amount to the total shortly but it just goies to show. A little work on a blog can pay off big time with a little work and the right audience.
