Wow I cannot believe it has been three months since my last posting to this website. First I guess I should apologize, Getting caught up in the real world of making a living with my full time job has taken it’s toll on my online foray into earning a living online. Well I am back and re-energized so to speak. My best friend and I have started a new Country Music Website geared towards Country Music Fans. It’s called CountryFanNetwork.com, and it truly is a labor of love. I am a huge Country Music fan and wanted to get back to covering the country music scene. I used to publish a Country Music Magazine called New England Country Magazine back in the early nineties and really enjoyed doing it but as is usual for country music in the northeast country music gains in popularity in economic downturns and then loses steam. The magazine barely made enough money to cover costs in the third year of publication, so we had to stop publishing.

I figured that setting up a country music site on the web would be cheap enough to do and to maintain that I could keep doing it even if it makes nothing. So occasionally I will be posting about the set-up and design of the site, thinking maybe some of you can benefit from the information we have and will learn as this site continues to evolve.

The first decision after picking the domain name and setting up hosting was what content management system we were going to use. At first I thought that I would use Joomla, but after a lot of thought and research decide that WordPress would be suited for this paricular website. The hardest part for me was picking a theme to work with, I eventually decide to go with the Options Theme. The Options Theme is a great theme to work with, but I am thinking about changing it up a little. I will keep you posted here.

I have to apologize for not posting for a couple of days, I have been busy socializing. Whether the method you use to Earn A Living Online is Affiliate Marketing, Google Adsense, or Product Creation one of the most important things you have to do is to get traffic. Social Marketing is one of the quickest ways to build an online presence, and that is what I have been spending a lot of time doing lately. Social Marketing or Networking helps to get your brand out there and build links to your sites, and in some cases will teach you a thing or two. This is what I have been doing the past couple of days….

Entrecard – I have had a quite bit of traffic due to Entrecard and the major dropping of my cards I have been doing.

SocialAuthority – Jack humphrey’s new Social Network has been incredible in bringing traffic and gaining a lot of new friends in the Social Marketing crowd. I cannot believe the resources that are available there just for the asking.

StumbleUpon – Been spending a lot of time Stumbling sites to gain some authority

Technorati – Faving some of the great sites that I have been coming across.

That’s just to name a few of the things going on. Take advantage of the socializing that is going on around you and it will pay you back tenfold, but be careful and do it with the intention of actually participating in the process and not just spamming these Social Networks.

Have a favorite Social Network that you subscribe or belong to? Why not share it here and let some of us benefit from your experience.
