Summer is Coming to an End
Hey guys and gals!
Hope you missed me a little bit but holiday is finally over. August is always the weirdest funniest month with work coming almost to a complete stop eventhough I did not really go on holiday or anything like that.
As much as I love to live in Spain, it seems that the world stops spinning here as soon as August begins and this year it hasn´t been different. With temperatures rising to an awesome 40 degrees, it was just too hard to sit inside behind the computer to work on all my websites so now it is time to start kicking hard again and see if I can make a little dent online.
Anyways, I have been checking in on my blog, mostly to delete a lot of annoying comments from people who arrived here through the huge number of do-follow blogs, thinking they could just be lazy and leave a few words to get some linking back to their blog or website.
Well, I have decided not to play along anymore and no matter how much I hate to do so, I give in, I give up and I am going to de-activate de do-follow plugin.
Like my friend Alex from net-entrepreneur.com I am going to start my second journey and it means business this time around. No more surfing around, no more online leisure time during the day, just working on building sites and promoting them.
The surfing around has gotten me a few interesting plugins and resources though and maybe one day I will share them here with you, after I have tested them and see they are working for me. Hell, I´ll share them too when I see they don´t work so you won´t have to waste time on them LOL.
Anyways, Alex, welcome back pal and stay in touch, it would be great if we both started earning more online!

LOL at vehicle shipping
ok… a few possibilities here, you either:
A) found your way here through a dofollow list, did not read the post at all and thought a quick comment would get you a link back (shame, just removed the dofollow plugin
)
B) you are really bummed summer is coming to an end and think vehicle shopping is just a really cool name

I am glad that you are back on your business. I have been watching your for sometime and wondering how you are doing these days.
So what is your second journey? How was your first one?
I love to hear more from you. I am actually glad that summer is almost end. It’s too hot here.
Anyway, keep the good post coming!

Hey Terence, good to see you again :D:D:D
First journey was fun and very educational, second journey is already showing to be more productive and with a better ROI LOL
I will probably be posting here more, but only if I really feel like posting and think there is something interesting to share. A few other things will change though, like mentioned in the post, I have gone to nofollow again, finally, probably will give back in another way to those who have valuable comments but there will be a 0 tolerance whenever I even remotely think it is a spammer.
It has been too hot here too, working at these temperatures really is horrible so I am glad temperatures getting back to normal again and typing won´t make me break out in a sweat ROFL
See you around my Friend!

HEY!!!
HEY!!
HEY!
You’ve been missed.
Indeed time to make money. Time to quit fooling around with blogs, checking stats 5 times a day hoping for a stumble. Why bother. Those lazy ass stumblers going to buy any of your products? NO. Click affiliate links? NO. Are they going to get you higher in serps? NO! So what is the obsession with getting stumbled, dug or spun??? Oh yea, maybe 5 of them will have an alexa toolbar, so you are going to get ranked a bit higher…
(That’s probably going to be in my next post too. getting the general direction?)
See you around [more often].
Cheers,
Alex

LOL Alex, I don´t know why but it seems like you are going to turn your blog into a rant against a lot of todays online practices, good for you!
I never really cared for the social bookmarking scene, atleast not for trying to be stumbled or socializing with anybody and everybody.
i would really like to know though what you actually did think about the free report you wrote about and of course whether you have followed the 30 day challenge
(I bet those will be interesting posts!!!)

OH… I’m still reading the free report. I’m extending the pleasure as much as I can.
No, seriously. I will write about it. Just as a teaser, despite the fact some, or most, of the stuff there are about things we know, it should be looked at from a different perspective. You and I know those things because were are 9 months around here. What about other people? What about a complete beginner? Does it have any real value for him? I think it does.
If I had read this report during my first month I think I would have been more focused and saved about 3 months of time learning those things in other ways.
Some concepts are going to be hard to grasp for a complete beginner, but I think that it should motivate him to learn more about it. That is the required focus the beginners usually lack.
So, for a teaser, that’s it. I would really recommend it to a beginner or even for someone like us for motivation, focus, and a slap in the face.
What did you think about the report?

The end of summer has inspired me to work full force for 30 days (and the majority of the night) to see if I can make any money at all on the web. Working for “the man” definitely stinks.
And I’m inclined to agree that it may be worth not bothering with blogs as a way to make money. I’m using one but mostly as a way to allow the creative juices to flow. Sort of a free association kind of thing.
I need to get away from blogging and work more on “doing” more things.
If only this darn 8 to 5 job wasn’t in my way.
