I guess we all have our stories to tell how we got started in our online business, don't we?

Even now at times I do some of that, like writing content for others, which in a way is trading my time for money as well, to have some extra cash to invest if needed when times are rough LOL yeah, don´t sit around waiting for it to happen, make it happen! cheers pal! <abbr><em>Mirjam’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/memyselfandiblog/RuXy/~3/383093435/" rel="nofollow">Thoughts on the Mysterious Free Report</a></abbr></em> hey Alex :)

So now people can tip me instead, to keep this sorry ass blog going and get some prime time top spot in the sidebar ;) thanks for the heads up, as always! <abbr><em>Mirjam’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/memyselfandiblog/RuXy/~3/352490092/" rel="nofollow">A Special Message from the Universe</a></abbr></em> hey Terence!

It's linear, and you only have a limited amount of time in a day.. So this was clearly not the path to wealth for me. From the beginning I was looking into something that would have made money without my intervention after initial setup. Easily said that done, though. Even today, almost a year after my "initiation" I'm yet to fulfill the dream/goal. Not doubting it's doable, I have to say that you have to do this right once to get the thing going. I'm waiting for that "once". But waiting is not right, isn't it?? You have to "do". Here's the tricky part where you mustn't get discouraged by failures. And that's exactly where I have my "down" times once in a while. Maybe I'm lazy, or something. rrrrrrrrr.... <abbr><em>Alex at Net-Entrepreneur.com’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetEntrepreneur/~3/417196266/" rel="nofollow">MSI Wind Trackpad Scrolling</a></abbr></em> Well I have to admit that I never fell for that opportunities where, as with filling surveys, you had to actually work a certain amount of time to get a certain amount of money.

I finally dump EntreCard from all my blogs today. There are still thousands credits hanging there, but I have wasted thousands points to get no traffic. I can tell you that it's a relief to get rid of EntreCard! Just one more suggestion. It will be a great improvement, if you can make your header image clickable. I was trying to go back to your home page by clicking on that eye candy header image. You can use Google Analytic to track how many people click on the header image. At least, I am the one to click on. :-) <abbr><em>Terence Chang’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.terencechang.com/2008/10/27/exitcard-to-the-entrecard-lessons-learned-from-entrecard/" rel="nofollow">ExitCard to the EntreCard!

No one should ever call others stupid. It's just not right! I am glad that you've learned a lot. I just saw the Oprah shows, which Interviewed Zappos's CEO Tony. Like Tony said clearly. The money came after your passion. You have to do something that you love to do and money will come. Personally, I found the best way to get money is to help people first. By solving day to day issues, people will spread the words for you.
