James Hume - Entrepreneur Blog

For a second I thought I lost this domain to a squatter but luckily I made it in before the grace period ended. As of right now nobody views this site anymore because I’m way to busy at Uni to update it, however for my own sake I’d like to keep it going even if it’s just a post a month. So, first post of the new year. I cashed in on some diet trends before they started to tank (for me at least), however I wish I had gotten involved earlier. January profits were good, but lets see if I can do it again in February. Stay classy.

I hate having a month missing out of my archive, so I’m just posting this to put something in for the month of December. Life is pretty hectic right now, and there is way to much to write about. Here are cliff notes:

• Moving out in a week
• Starting to get this make monies online thing
• Still not making enough to justify not having a day job

So my goals are to get enough income (diversified income that is) to where I can just work on shit at my dorm, study, and party at night instead of working in a restaurant at night. And in typical PPC.bz fashion:
$$$ GET MONEY + GET PAID $$$

School has been kicking my ass lately, and my online work has suffered. I’ve found some interesting shit browsing the web in between classes, and I thought I’d drop a few links. Some of these sites are GOLD mines full of information, some you’ve probably never heard of (or have heard of), and some are just funny. Check it:

• GlowLeaf.com - Fellow named ‘Glowleaf’ at Wickedfire writes about a ton of interesting topics on his blog. There are some real gems to be found on the site.
• Aminology.com - I forgot how I stumbled across this site, but there is some really great information to be found here.
• PPC.bz - Founded by some fucking smart asses over at Wickedfire, this blog is full of shit. Good for a laugh or too, and there is some hidden information behind all of the sarcasm; the ironic thing is that the owners/authors are pretty damn successful online.
• Blackhatworld.com - At first glance the forum seems like its chalk full of DigitalPoint idiots, however if you dig deep you’ll find some excellent topics that will really get the creative juices flowing.
• SlightlyShadySEO.com - Run by a guy under the alias ‘XMCP’, he really knows his shit. Every post he makes is badass. If you don’t subscribe to any of these guys’ feed readers, you at least need to bookmark XMCP’s site.

Get money - get paid.

Just picked up a few TLD, keyword rich domains that are perfect for EPN sites. I’m focusing on 2 niches of the consumer electronics market. If my EPN sites are successful and I can build up a good amount of capital, I plan on building two large review sites, using my EPN sites as major backlinks to help rank well in the SERPs. I’ll explain it more later if you’re confused; time to get back to work.

My network basically consists of only 1 website at the moment which earned around $160 last month. I use to have around 4 decent sites, but they all died off as I lacked in promoting them and developing them. Most of my time has been dedicated to college, and my part time job is starting to consume more time because of a lack of employees. I’m thinking it might be my time to go as well.

The new plan is to expand my network with a few more sites based around the same formula as the site that made ~$160 last month. I finally got hold of some capital to invest in link building campaigns, so everything should work out pretty well. The only think I’m worried about is putting all of my eggs in one basket - most of these websites will be getting a majority of their earnings from one source of advertising. I guess I’ll just look at it as milking as much income as I can before I get shutdown, not that I’m doing anything sketchy. You just never know what could happen.
