If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I hate big business. Just checked my Quantcast account. It tells me that no small businesses make their way here. No medium sized businesses made their way here. But 16 big businesses do come here often. Probably because I [...]

Time is money. It may be something we all agree on, but what does it really mean.
Fixed costs are nice. One of my fixed costs is hosting. When I make $4000 in a month, my hosting is $125. If I triple that, it will still cost me the same and the ROI triples.
On the other [...]

I love affiliate marketing. I was on cloud 9, just moved cross country and was about to do my taxes. Bam. I had killed my day job before the move. But the damn tax man came along with his radiation from outer space and revived the son of a bitch. Along with paying the IRS [...]

Maybe I don’t have a good bookkeeping system or maybe affiliate marketing has too many ups and downs to calculate an average or maybe I am just a straight idiot for trying to to this without an accountant, but I need an @money category of lists.
Both Getting Things Done and Zen to Done use lists. [...]

After I finished high school I made it a goal of mine not to ever stop learning. I wasn’t going to be able to afford the college degree, but I was willing to take the risk that learning itself would have value even if I didn’t have the official paperwork to prove I learned something.

You have to learn this phrase. Some people won’t hear kindness. Some people won’t let you do your own thing. Some people don’t know if they would just give you more time, you could be working for yourself.
This was one of my biggest stumbling blocks in trying to get the money rolling in through affiliate [...]

I think it is assumed that most pro bloggers quit a cush corporate job to become a blogger. Or they owned a business and then began blogging. Or that blogging is already an offshoot of another online business that they have. Or they are just fresh out of college with their IT degree and decided [...]
