Earning a Living Online


Life’s Crazy and Mixed Up and So am I.

I think I have finally gone off the deep end. I cannot believe I have not posted in almost two weeks! I have been way to busy at my office and I need to make some changes. I am currently working on a video for a new widget that will be posted here in a couple of days, so look for that it should be very interesting. [Tag-Tec]Jack Humphrey[/Tag-Tec] came out with his 2008 version of the Authority Black Book and I have been immersing myself in the wealth of information he has given yet again for free. So what’s going on and what have I been up to? Let me fill you in a little and share my insights and new found information with you.

Entrecard

I have not been dropping cards for the last 4-5 days, I wanted to see how this effects the card drops on my blog. Card dropping on my blog has significantly dropped and my advertising rate plummeted. I have not decided yet which way I will go with this as Entrecard takes up a lot of time and I am still deciding if it is worth the effort. I will get back to you on this one.

Social Authority

I have not been contributing as much as I would like to in this community. I have been keeping up with the Diggs and the Stumbles if I like the posts and sites that I am visiting. This is a great community of people that are looking to help others like them that are trying to earn a living online. If you have not joined the network visit us here.

Authority Black Book

Another one from the mind of Jack Humphrey. The Authority Black Book is one of the must reads of 2008, it is a very in depth look at the workings of a successful social marketing blueprint. I have read through it three times and am looking forward to reading it again this time with my handy highlighter at the ready. Yes folks, it is that good. Best of all it is free, you can get it here.

Atomic Blogging

I have purchased Atomic Blogging and studying the accompanying information that I received from them. I want to change the look and feel of a couple of my blog sites and thought that Atomic Blogging would be a good fit. I will let you know the outcome after a couple of weeks of trial and error. Has anyone else used this system and do you like it?

Well that’s about it for now, life is crazy, you never know what is going to come your way. I am starting to learn to try to relax a little more and get a little more sleep as of right now I am currently getting about 5 hours a night and would like to try to get to at least 6 hours a night(at least on the weekends). I have decided to not even look at my computer on sundays until all of my family is tucked away into bed. I want to spend as much time with my children as I can as they are getting older fast and soon will probably not want to spend any time with me or my wife.

Meanwhile in the Bat Cave…..

BatmanI 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.
