0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14


I wrote most of tonights blog on my i-mate JASJAR Pocket PC on the way to work this morning on the train.
I just went to grab it, finish it off and upload it . . . and IT'S GONE !
Drat! drat! drat! and double drat !
Don't know what I did but I was in a rush to close it as we came into the station and I suspect it didn't get saved.

I've spent a whole lot more time up on the Digital Point forum again tonight which hasn't moved me closer to getting my blog monetised ! I spent the time however, as I was getting my account set up properly and responding to some threads I had started asking questions about the failing Yahoo ping and blogging viability.


Some of the feedback on the forum is positive but cautionary in terms of rapid money expectations and indeed my dollar goals. Still I'll stick with them as goals and see how I go.
Goal 2
2 or more monetised blogs by Nov 2006
>= $300/mth before Christmas 2006

Goal 3
3~4 monetised blogs by Mar 2007
>=$1000/mth before Mar 2007

Goal 4
Adword campaign(s) in place by June 2007
>=$3000/mth before June 2007

Goal 5
Resign from employment July~Aug 2007

I also created my first (30-day) web poll on how much profit bloggers make blogging.

I've set myself a new curfew of 11:30pm to go to bed as I'm going to wind up ill if I keep up these 1:30 and 2:00am stints with this stuff for very much longer.
