My brief absence from making money online

I have been gone for a little while now because I'm just coming home. Things are a little crazy and I don't have regular Internet access right now. I had a few things in the works before all this but did not have the time to finish them. I will return very soon with my regular posting. Until then this blog may seem a little dry but, remember the beauty of making money online is that you don't have to be here to keep making money. I foresee myself being set up and ready to go by the beginning of next month. I'll see everyone around and thanks for stopping by.

Blogging Bandwagons

Is it just me or does it seem like every day or week that everyone is writing about the same thing. Over and Over again. Yea, they reword it or put their own twist on it but it's still the same information. I can understand that most people get their information from other sources therefore it has to be similar in the least but I'm getting tired of visiting ten or so blogs with the same information provided within a 4-7 day periode. Even pro bloggers do this from time to time to fill space. I can understand if there was a issue going around and everybody had diffrent opinions but if the original post was good and you agreed, why rehash the subject. I will just go to the other blog and read it. Ofcourse you can point me in the right direction and give your own two cents but don't do this every day. Than whats the point of visiting your blog. If you want to start making money online than post original content. I know it's hard but it's the best way to earn respect and money. Get off that bandwagon and write something new for me to read. I'll come back to your blog if the content is good and original. I promise.

I'm a Hipocrite

Well, after writing that post yesterday I do nothing all day besides surf the Internet and work of course. I spent hours on the computer doing nothing but reading blogs and posting to forums. Well I guess I did accomplish one thing. I have added an about me section. You can find it here, About Me. When the end of the day came around I felt like a dumb ass. O-well, you can't win them all. In all honesty I should be trying to write as many posts as possible in advance because the next few weeks are going to be extremely busy for me. Hopefully I'll be able to crank out a few in the next couple days. I would love to hear what any of you would like me to write about. If you would like to get my opinion on something or someone than just drop me a line.

Addicted to Blogging

I believe blogging to be very addictive. At first it starts out as something you try once in awhile. Than you Begin to do more and more often. Finally you find yourself compelled to blog everyday. Many blogs begin just to try and make money online. A lot of these blogs fail because they don't get involved in the community of bloggers. With every passing day you get more involved with your own blog and other blogs. You return to blogs day after day looking forward to what is to be said next.

Here are a few reason why I think the blogsphere is so addicting in a good way.
1. Always looking for new ways to improve yourself.
2. Looking forward to hearing others thoughts and ideas.
3. Continuously trying to make your blog better than the day before.
4. The dream of making some serious money online and to work from home.
5. Making new friends over the Internet.

Here are a few reasons why blogging is addictive in a not so good way.
1. Excessive eye strain from staring at a computer
2. Lacking exercise due to excessive reading and blogging.
3. countless hours spent in front of a computer.
4. Carpal tunnel syndrome

Here are a few signs of an addict.
1. your a forum junkie -your on forums all day long constantly posting in stead of myspace.
2. your a comment junkie -you visit one or more blogs posting 20 + comments a day.
3. your a post junkie -you post 2 or more topics per day, everyday.
4. Last and certainly the worst -you read blogs and forums all day and do nothing to improve the value of your own site.

All in all I believe the positives to out way the negatives. Getting a good balance is the way to go. Get into a routine. Set aside a time period each day for blogging which should include everything from reading, writing and, marketing. If this is done for a living than of course there will be more time dedicated to blogging.

Well according to mingle2.com I am %60 addicted to blogging. what are you?
Here are some other blogs that discuss the blog addiction phenomenon.

My most visited blogs

Before I became a blogger I don't think I ever read a blog and now I read a bunch every day. I wanted to give a quick shout out to all those blogs that I have been reading on a daily basis. Some of you inspire me to blog, some give me help full tips, others are just fun to read. So here we go the top blogs that I read daily and why.

Cmans money pages-This is a blog that I started reading when it was still very new. I watched it as it has blossomed into what it is now. I read this blog because I feel that the author is always a few steps ahead of me and I can learn from it.

A cowboys wife-This is also a blog that I have been reading from the beginning. This is a personal blog about a cowboys wife's day to day life. I enjoy reading her blog because it is the sort of blog I aspire to do but never got around to doing it.

beta blogger for dummies-I refer to this blog often. Using blogspot can sometime be difficult especially for someone like me. It is also amazing to see what can be accomplished using blogger.

Johncow.com-I recently started reading this blog along with the rest of our community. It's funny and different in the same kind of way, if that makes any sense to you. Maybe this shout out will get me in an upcoming batch.

problogger.net-Another blog that I refer to often. Problogger Is probably one of the most helpful web sites I have visited thus far. It is definitely a blog that inspires me to keep blogging and keeps me headed in the right direction.


There are many more blogs that I visit everyday. These blogs are ones that I make a point of visiting. It might be because the content is always updated and fresh or that the blog is just so helpful to me or maybe I just enjoy reading them. For whatever reason these blogs are my go to blogs.

Friday the 13th

Well it is Friday the 13th once again. Is it just me or does the 13th seem to fall on a Friday more often now a days. I'm not a superstitious kind of person anyway. I was at work and was wondering what all the big hoopla was about Friday the 13th anyway. I found a some good answers on yahoo. Apparently it had something to do with the nights Templar way back when but I guess a bunch of bad things happen on Fridays throughout history. Just thought I would share. I don't know if it's supposed to be unlucky or something but I wish you all luck in making some money online and have a good weekend.

The Richest Man in the World

This might be a little off topic but, I thought it was interesting. Turns out that Bill Gates is no longer the richest man in the world. Who would have thought that could happen. Well the new richest man is Carlos Slim Helu. If only we all could be worth 60 billion dollars. What do you you even do with that kind of money? That amount of money could do a whole lot of good in this world. It is said that Slim has, along with Bill Clinton have decided to launch a anti poverty campaign in Latin America. I think this is great. Share the wealth. Congratulations Slim for overtaking Gates. I never thought it could happen. If you would like to read more about this I found the article on yahoo news.
