Well, I just got accepted at ReviewMe. You may have noticed the new link in my sidebar. I was quite excited by this, as I saw how it boosted John Chow’s income. Obviously I’m not expecting an extra $2,250 a month, because John’s site has a little bit more traffic than mine, but hey, I’m sure it will help out a bit!!
Get Reviewed At ReviewMe!A while back, I noticed that I started my blog about the same time as Derek Semmler did. Well, to be exact, he had a one day head start, but basically the same time. But, it wasn’t just this that caught my attention. His first post, Welcome to DerekSemmler.com!, seems to imply that he was prompted to start his blog for a similar reason that I was. Tracking progress towards the dot com mogul status.
The thing about Derek’s site is that he has a general topic outlined. Money, Motorcycles and Cars (with a little bit of everything else). The thing about my site?? I don’t have a general topic direction, it is currently just “babblings.” I hope that my blog will start heading in a direction of a more consistent topic, but at this time, I’m not sure where it will go.
Whatever way my blog goes, you can be sure that I will always be a reader of Derek Semmler dot com. Why?? Because he won me over with a great post that really spoke to me, How To Procrastinate Filing Income Taxes.
I have just received a box of business cards that I ordered from VistaPrint.ca
I did a lot of research on this, and eventually went with this Canadian Company. They are by far the cheapest, but the quality is quite reasonable. They have lots of promotions, and turn around time is not bad. I ordered 2000 business cards, and the total bill came to $35, which included shipping and handling. Because of a promotion at the time, the business cards I got were the Premium Business Cards, with a Glossy Finish.
Not bad for $35!!!!
I was going to post about them, but first decided to check out if there were any referral deals. And there is. By ordering business cards from this link you get 25% off your first order.
The Miscellaneous Ramblings of a Dot Com Mogul. What is captivating about miscellaneous ramblings? And what on earth is a Dot Com Mogul???
Lets start with a dot com mogul. From my understanding, John Chow came up with the term himself. He posted the requirements in his post Requirements To Be A Dot Com Mogul.
Now, Miscellaneous ramblings?? So, what does he mean by miscellaneous ramblings? Well, pretty much he will post about his opinions on random things, like posting a video on One-Night Stand Etiquette. His blog, however, is mostly geared towards tech stuff, as this is where is expertise lies. That being said, however, he seems to be knowledgeable in many things, from fine dining, and cars, to finances.
He is smart about his site and is successful in monetizing it. But also, he shares his success stories, so that others can learn from what he does. An example of this is his review for linkback exchange. By doing this, he is getting reviews, boosting his Technorati Rank, and helping the reviewer’s blog by giving a link back. On a site like his that gets a lot of visitors. If my memory serves me correct, he gets over 200,000 visits a month (I couldn’t find the fact on his webpage, and I can’t remember where I saw it, but I’m sure he will correct me if I’m wrong).
John also does his part in raising money for the poor. He recently helped raise money for the Union Gospel Mission for Easter Dinners, raising over $1000.
John Chow’s site is a good read for Technology News, and all sorts of “Miscellaneous Ramblings”
