• 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:
$$$ GET MONEY + GET PAID $$$

College is here, and it’s fucking badass. I love it 10 times more than high school. I’m attending LSU for those of you that didn’t know. School is currently consuming 22 documentable hours; 17 hours in my curriculum and 5 hours of math lab every week and then when you add studying, its way to much time. So that means less time to work and play.

LG Venus is now ranking #14 for the term LG Venus in Google. It’s really not that big of an accomplishment considering the competition, but I’m proud of it so far. I think the site has Top 5 potential, so only time will tell. At the rate it’s been going, it should earn around $150-$200 this month with the low amount of traffic it’s getting. Coupon and Sandals have dropped down in traffic and earnings. I might be able to resurrect them and bring the earnings back up.

A buddy of mine, Conrad (well I think that’s his blog now) just launched a new forum. You can find it here, it’s pretty cool looking. The place is brand new, and there aren’t any super techniques being dropped right now, but if you’re from the Talkfreelance crowd I suggest you check it out.

That is all. Hurricane Gustav hit my house pretty hard and I still don’t have power. Ike is dropping a deuce on me right now as we speak so I hope he doesn’t mess up my power situation any more than it already is. If any of you guys pray or whatever, make one for the Texans (and some Louisiana people like myself) who’ve been affected by Gustav and will be affected by Ike. They (us) (we) need all of the help we (us) (they) can get.

Just finished perfecting my desktop setup - for now. Ideally I’d like to have my MBP hooked up to a 30″ Cinema display, but its hard to justify the price for it. So for now, I’ll stick with what I have:

• Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Penyrn base model
• Custom Built PC - 2.16 Ghz C2D, 2GB ram, 8800GTS 640mb, 150gb Raptor
• Monitor on the left is 19″ Gateway widescreen hooked up to PC
• Monitor on the right is HP 17″ square hooked up to Mac
• Synergy is used so that I only need 1 mouse/keyboard to control both machines

So I use the MBP for everything but gaming, and I use the PC for gaming. It also serves as another screen for web browsing, so when I’m multitasking I usually browse on the PC. Its a great setup, and I’m sure it’ll last a while.

Oh yea, sorry about the picture, it didn’t turn out to nice. I can never get a good shot of my desktop; it has poor lighting conditions for photography. 

I’m basically only going to build sites around subjects that I’m passionate about. Sure, they may be saturated markets. But there are tons of people that are just chasing money that I’m sure I could out rank because I actually give a shit about what I’m writing about.

In a week or two I plan on announcing everything in my network, and you’ll be able to tell what subjects interest me. I won’t be able to build a site about everything I like, but I’m going to try and cover a good amount of subjects. Some will be mini niche sites that I don’t plan to update more than once or twice a week, while others are sites I’d like to update as often as possible. 

I’m also working on trying to get a new job at a graphic design, marketing, programming, media, everything in one type of company. I have some pretty good connections to get inside, but I just need to make the effort. Of course I’m not guaranteed the spot, and I’m nervous as fuck about it; I haven’t even called to schedule an appointment for an interview. However I’m going to try as hard as I can and give it my best shot.

Thats all for now. This post turned out longer than I had hoped. Time to get some sleep, peace.

My plan is to take the domain and design, and try some affiliate marketing with it. I’m going to create a wordpress blog out of the design, and possibly market some sort of product that deals with writing/publishing/work at home. I’m going to try as hard as possible to stay away from webmasters because that niche is way to competitive. I will use a combination of PPC and SEO for traffic.

As of now I’ve quickly glanced over what Copeac and Azoogle have to offer that could relate to the turn Editorialize, and I haven’t found anything that stood out. I’m going to sign up for CJ and possibly ClickBooth (or is it ClickBank? One of the two is a major scam, and I can’t seem to remember which one it is right now) and see what they may have. Worse comes to worse, I’ll just make an EPN site out of it and target magazines and stuff for sale.

As far as other happenings go, I wasn’t able to get much done today. I did some link building for BuyShotGlasses.com, but other than that all I did was check my email, stats, and wrote this post. At work I managed to slice open my index finger while cutting french bread, so its been pretty hard to type things with all of the bandaging required to keep my finger from bleeding again. Along with the fact that I’m dead tired after only sleeping 3 hours along with working a double shift at the restaurant today. In case you’re wondering, I’m a server at a cajun restaurant that is popular with both the locals and tourists (located in Louisiana).  

I’ll have some updates on my other projects soon. Check out NissanGT-R.org, I just put up a temporary framework design and some content. By framework I mean that its a premium wordpress theme that has some neat features, however I’ll be customizing it to make it look unique (much like what I did with my blog design). I’ll go into detail about what I’m doing as far as link building goes for BuyShotGlasses.com.

My next plan is to start a case study about LexusLF-A.net. I’m excited about that project because it seems as if there isn’t a lot of competition for the car as Lexus isn’t interested in releasing it any time soon. I’ll be showing you guys what I do when it comes to building these mini sites, and we can both learn from the experience because as you know, I’m not an internet millionaire, hundred-thousand-aire, or even a hundredaire. Buy hey, it could be interesting, right?
