How I intend to make money with my blog!

Paul

Earning Money through Blogging!

When you hear that from someone what do you think? Is it just a full of hot air or do they actually have a plan?  In today’s society people are always wanting to make money online using such things as Adsense or Google Affiliate network.  

I’m sure you probably heard this before from other bloggers.   I know I was skeptical of anything like this before, but I also know in the past I did make some money.   The money wasn’t like 1,000 dollars a month but it was enough to help pay rent or something like that.   So I know it can be done but you just have to be ready to take it by the horns and run with it!

How I am going to make this happen?

When I first thought of this idea last month, I was not sure if I could.   After all I’ve got a full time job and obligations that I must do day by day.  I did some really long hard thinking and even planned some of this out and your the first that I am sharing this with.   

Connect with my Audience!

This isn’t going to be  the easiest because I sometimes don’t know what my loyal readers are thinking about my blog or what they have to say, so it will be a challenge to get them to open up and tell me just how I can improve my blogging skills and my blog to make my blog that much easier for them to read my posts.  

Giving Free stuff out!

This is something that sound counter intuitive but if you give your loyal readers something they seem to want to give back to you.  It is something that I’ve found to work really well in the past and I just had to stop that because of money and my situation at the time.  I’m right now waiting to find out what my readers are interested in, so I know what to give away.

Blogging more regularly!

This is where it will get tough for me because I will be not getting as much sleep at night.   I am going to start trying to blog every day for the next month at least and then see what happens after that.   So it might be stuff that you may or may not expect.   It just depends on my mood!  If you would like me to talk about something you can always contact me and tell me.  I will say I’ve already started this, if you haven’t noticed.  I started this the first of the year.   So I am hoping this keeps up until February 1st.

I really don’t know how well this will help me but I am looking forward to the future and the possiblilites which are endless.  It is a time game right now and I hope you sit and spend some time with me every day.

Doctor Who and You! What is to Come for 2013!

Paul

Doctor Who Season 7!

As with many great shows, we have a really interesting story arch in this season.  We started off with Amy and Rory until the last episode of 2012 (The Angels Take Manhattan).  There you find out that they are sent back in time and can not escape so that takes Pond(’s) out of the story for the famous Doctor who now travels around without a companion but Amy did ask him to get a new companion.  When the Christmas Special came out I was really impressed how well the actor Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara Oswin Oswald) challenged the Doctor in so many ways.   I am really impressed with her acting skills and her ability to compliment the Doctor.

  • Asylum of the Daleks
  • Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
  • A Town Called Mercy
  • The Power of Three
  • The Angels Take Manhattan
  • The Snowmen — (Christmas Special)

Not Sure of which ones will air, but Here is a list of possible titles for the second part of Season 7.   I look around and found these titles so until we see them on TV only assume that it is POSSIBLE and not definite.

  • The Bells of Saint John
  • The Rings of Akhaten
  • The Crimson Horror
  • Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
  • The Last Cyberman
  • The Hider in the House
  • Season 7 Finale (TBA)

So with some of these I look far and wide and found some information that might be indications on what Clara will be like but nothing substantial or even a glimmer of light as to how she will do.   I am just glad I get the latest episodes on my Android Device and I will be more than glad to share the links!

Buy Season 7 of Doctor Who here:

 

 

As you can see you have several different options to catch up on your shows and if you are looking for a portable way to watch these then all three are available for portability.  I am just glad Google finally added this show and thus I can get away from Amazon but I will still tell people to shop Amazon when you when you need apparel or other stuff like this but I am really happy with Google right now.

The Dark side of Dating sites!

You Don’t know the Power of the Dark Side on Dating sites!

When your looking for that special someone you probably have been on several different sites.  It however is nothing compared to some of the things I’ve seen.   I’d get emails with the heading:

 

  • Someone sent you a Flirt
  • Someone’s Trying to Get in Touch With You!
  • A Zoosk member would like to chat with you on Zoosk
  • A Zoosk member sent you a flirt on Zoosk!
  • Someone wants to meet you!

These are a few of the emails I would get from time on these sites.   Some times it is a legit email and other times.   You have to wonder who comes up with the email.   Most of the time you get emails from people with phone numbers and email addresses they usually use “/” to avoid the filters on the said dating sites.   Now here are a few observations from not being scammed on dating sites!

Ways to tell you it’s a fake profile!

It doesn’t make much since but these people who send you some stuff makes me worry.   For example here are my tips to know if this is a spam and probably just a scam email in the same process.

  • Gives out the Email address the first email!
  • Gives out the text number to text them on the first email!
  • They claim to be living in another country in the first or few emails in!
  • The person profile isn’t complete!
  • The picture on the profile is super hot!

These are just a few observations that tell me a profile is either fake, but it isn’t the only indication.   Usually if I am curious I will still use one of my many email address specifically designed for the spam catching emails addresses.  Just to see if this is a real person or not.   You can usually tell by checking out the email headers.  If you ever want to know for sure this is the best possible way to tell if this email is coming from Germany, Africa, or Some other country besides the one you are on.   It just takes a little patients!  Hope this helps you out!

Dear my 21 Year Old Self! What I need to tell you now!

Paul

 

182/365 Sparkle (+2)

What you need to understand!

Writing isn’t an art per say, but it is something that grounds us into who we are today.   I know I have lost a lot but also I know I’ve gained alot since I was 21 years old.   That is why I’m making this post, not just for me but to help you connect with me the steps I did and why it was so heart wrenching that I’d have to post about it.   Nothing in this post will be talking about technology but it will be somewhat related to technology.   After all, if I wasn’t born this website would not exist.   So in a way I guess it is talking about technology.

The Wonder Years!

When I was a boy, I thought like a boy.   When I was a teen, I thought like a teen.   When I was 21, I had great expectations and hopes and dreams.   Nothing in my wildest dreams would I of known where I would be when I was 21, where I am now.    That is the what usually happens when your young.   You got all these things you would like to do or see and they just don’t turn out the way you planned.   
I got out of High school and was planning to go to college.   I was actually just about to start college when I met a certain girl.  We will call her “A“.  It was a whirl wind romance, fell in love and didn’t really have time to think about the future we got into this really well so well, she was pregnant before we were even married.   We had Three beautiful kids and I adore them every chance I get.   The problem with this marriage is we never got along and that might be the fact we never really communicated the way we should of.   I am not going to say it was all her fault, that would be wrong on my part.  We both had something to do with this because it does take two to make a baby.

The Marriage Years!

I’ve already talked about Eight things you didn’t know about me.   It was however a small amount about me.   I was and am still concerned some security but I also would like to share with you my life experience in hopes that you don’t make the same mistakes as I have.  Me and my Ex-wife, yes you heard it right, would always yell and argue with me over the stupidest stuff.   I think we sometimes just argued just to communicate.   She expected all this stuff from me and I guess I did the same thing back. I just know that communication is the one thing that if I ever get married again, I will find someone who believes as I do and wants to communicate and not just stay on the computer all the time.  This was a problem for both of us, I guess we didn’t really want to communicate.  I really shouldn’t say didn’t because it was more of a inability to communicate is more like it.  We never while dating ever really communicated and thus it made our marriage that much harder to deal with.

Single Years again!

Well myself, I just hope you see what you have to go through in the next 15 years and to hopefully learn some very important lessons.   When you finally start to date again, I hope you learn to communicate and talk to your next mate.   This way you can know just how well you will do with this person and maybe even find your soul mate.   I just hope you find someone to cuddle with and be happy with.   You deserve to be happy and I know how that feels.  Please understand that the search for this mysterious women is a long process, but when you find that one person it will be worth it.  Please keep laughing and don’t forget to stop and smell the roses!

After Holiday Inventory — What you should know and why!

Paul

After Christmas is time to relax!

So you’ve given you family some technology gadget for Christmas and you really didn’t research it.  It always seems to happen that way.  We’re so excited we found something that we think will do the job.   I know all about this because my extended family seems to want to give these types of gifts to my kids and their own.  So here is a quick breakdown on what I’ve observed over the last few days and what seemed to worked and what didn’t.

  • Kindle Fire HD 7′ [Affiliate Link]– So my sister got one of her kids this and I must say she wasn’t happy.   Here are a few things you need to worry about.   Easily remove parental controls without a password, and no wall charger for it.  Seems kind of useless to give to kids right now.
  • Paper Jams Pro Guitar [Affiliate Link]– My kid got this one, but It isn’t really that good.   I don’t think it sounds anything like a guitar but it does work really well to entertain my kids.  I personally would of wanted something a little more authentic but it does the job.  
  • Nintendo DS Lite [Affiliate Link]– This is one of the ones that I bought my kids and knew they’d play this very much.   It wasn’t easy to find the games they liked but if you search around you should have a lot of success like I did.  Worth the money I paid for it, keeps my kids happy.
  • Cricket Phone [Affiliate Link]– I have talked about Cricket Wireless in the past but recently they are being available in my local area.  I might go back to them if it looks to be more reliable.  I’ve loved them in the past but it seems to be a good choice for my daughter even if I didn’t think she was ready for it.
  • Skywriter UFO [Affiliate Link]– Great little helicopter for my 7 year old.   He loves to fly this helicopter around and write out messages.  It was worth the money to buy this little beauty.   It probably won’t last long but it as least is being used and flown around the house.

So this was my quick breakdown on the electronics that worked and what you should be careful in your future buys.   I’ll be talking with my other sisters about what they gave their kids and will report back later.   It however is just luck what works with my kids, as it probably does with your kids.   So I just wanted to tell you my experiences and let you decide what they might want to get for their birthdays or next year when it comes to buying gifts.

Happy New Year and I’ll see you in 2013!!
