Eek - It’s been too long
Well, it’s official. Despite my moderate efforts, I have not been writing here nearly as much as I should. I’m suffering from some sort of reverse writing block. I have too much to write, not too little.
In my head, the problem seems to stem from the fact that I don’t know how to ‘brand’ this [...]
Why you (as an advertiser) should supply the creative
I’m still in the process of getting this site going and need to fill out my collection of 125×125 ads on the right part of the layout. Strangely enough, not many people provide pre-made 125×125 ads for inclusion on a blog. That changed today.

Affiliate #2 APPROVED (Legal Zoom)
I just received an email from LegalZoom confirming my new affiliate status. This is a perfect example of just jumping in.
Most companies that have an affiliate program want to see a website with decent traffic and a proven track record before they bother with granting affiliate status. When I applied for the LegalZoom affiliate program, [...]
What to expect from me
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the specific direction I want to take this site, and while I know it should be centered around ‘business’, I’ll also be including a bunch of posts around things that interest me. But for the present post, I’ll be talking about the business side.
There is a [...]
The site plan - Day One
So here we are, day one.
I’ve been following the whole ‘Make Money Online’ crowd for a while. John Chow and ShoeMoney are my two favorites and I’ve just begun discovering others. Based on input from reading their sites over the past year or so, along with my own experience, here are my plans [...]
