PASSION. Purpose. Profit
Here is an interesting article from Slate Magazine about blogs that make (or don’t) make money. Some interesting metrics – and stats, including some good data and insight from Technorati, and some popular bloggers you probably have heard of…and if you’re a bit myopic like me, a bunch that you haven’t, too.
But here is the rub – and something that is simply continuously overlooked by these folks who try to measure and quantify how much you can make banging on them keys. [Read more...]
I was looking for a couple videos on Youtube to post for another site, and came across this on here from the Big Idea With Donny Deutsch (sp?) show.
Now, I’m not a big fan of this sort of show ( as I really only watch Intervention (because everyone loves a funny drunk), Keeping up with the Kardashians ( big Bruce Jenner fan) and occasionally I’ll watch Sunset Tan for a little late night intellectual stimulation.

I am however, actively writing and working on my business at a frenzied, frantic pace – some days putting in close to 18 hours of non stop article campagns, landing pages, copywriting, PPC, and lots more across a whole host of niche blog networks that will be my focus going forward.
