I got Lost! (again)

After reading a great article by Rich Schefren about the need to stay focused, I realized I FORGOT that I had started this blog about 8 months ago!!!! Thankfully, because I had the forsight to keep a list of my accounts and passwords in Filemaker pro, I was able to dig up this blog.

Have I come further in my quest for finding fortune on the Internet. Somewhat. Have I learned anything in the last 8 months. Yes, tons. And a lot of what I learned, I learned from HUGE mistakes. I’m starting to understand what someone means when they say you have to fail a few times in order to succeed.

 

Arrrrrggggghhhh!

The title describes the tornado in my head right now. I’m trying to be organized. Trying to start a new blog. Trying to wrap my head around the fact that I’m starting a NEW PROJECT again when I absolutely have no business doing that.

I’ve been using Blogger for my blogs. I’m happy with it. It’s easy. I’m comfortable with it. And I can have Adsense on it.

Low and behold the shock that hit me like lightening when I read that WordPress here, doens’t allow blog people like me to use Adsense! Okay, okay… I’ll work it out. This is new stuff. I like new stuff. But the documentation is overwhelming me right now. And it’s late it night. My poor noggin can’t take another bit of info today.

I just want my about page to say something and I can’t figure out how to do that yet. I feel like an idiot. I always do when I try to stuff my brain at a late hour with too much new stuff.

It’ll be better in the morning…
So, I’m off for a break. I’ll be patient and read up. And SOON this blog will be worthy enough to come back to…

 

Phew! 4 Years and counting…

Okay, first, I’ve been determined to find the right place on the Internet for me. A place for my thoughts and ideas, a place where I don’t get lost in the shuffle. This blog is all about that journey. I started 4 years ago (seems like a LONNNNGGG 4 years ago) when I just couldn’t see my future anymore – running a small design studio. Didn’t give it up then, and in fact, I still do design work. But what REALLY interests me, is a chance to make a good living on the Internet.

My inner geek agrees. I love tinkering, learning new stuff and playing with html code. But none of that is really going to make me the big bucks. Everyone out there is an expert. I can only share my experiences traveling through the jungle they call The Internet and hope where I strike gold, you will too.

This is not a new idea, this desire to help others find some peace and contentment and a way to make more than a few dollars on the Internet. Too many people are already doing that. I’m not so egotistical as to think I can do it better. Sheesh! I still feel like a babe in the scary jungle of the ‘net. But, I have found out a few good things. I have learned a few wonderful tidbits of info that I just can’t keep to myself any longer.

If so inclined, join my on this journey. Let’s find gold together.
