We Learn Everyday

If you want to succeed you have to put in the time, otherwise nothing grows. The effort you put forth into what you want in life, makes more of a success for you in that life. Failure is only a stepping stone to success. Some failures can take you down all the way, still if you grew up with the attitude of "don't give up", then don't give up, try something. That in all honesty is why I am here. I won't allow myself to give up no matter the pitfalls, failures, and unsupported efforts. The reason is those that do support, give advice, shows concern, and is just there to listen, helps me push another day.
Thank you!!!

I haven't been feeling to well the last week or so, yet I am here working on my blog, commenting on others, posting links to sites I feel is a value to anyone who is trying to work with Adsense or any other program similar to Adsense, in my Information Links. I go to Carnival of Making Money Online(in Money Online Links) everyday, read posts, vote on posts, submit a story, and when I go to the sites of the posted stories, I will give comments. I feel that if I continue to do this, I will be recognized more and more each time I do this. Just getting my name out there is going to help others find me.

Now for my blog, I was not getting any data from Adsense, so something I added wasn't working with Adsense. The only thing that crawls the site like Adsense was Bravent's hit counter, so I took it off. Guess what, my Adsense is now working again. Relief.

I went into my html editing and worked on spacing out the content of the page, so that it didn't look like everything was on top of each other. So far I believe I have been able to accomplish this. I am one of those that has been self taught in html and other things with the computer world, also with that I was able to accomplish an Associates Degree as Network Engineer. I am using all the knowledge I have gained over the years with the new knowledge I am gaining daily. Taping into what you already know, putting it together with the new, works wonders, if you know what I mean.

I have been joining other online programs for taking surveys, marketing research, etc., for a few weeks now. If you notice I have been adding new links in the Money Online Links, now and then. Thats because I have joined them to try and make some income from those as well. When you put it all together it starts adding up to more than just pennies in your pocket. Like my Grandmother always said, "a penny saved, is a penny earned", thing is it works. I am going to post a blog with a bit of information about some of the programs I have joined to give you a better idea of what they are, what they do, how they work, so if you want to check them out, you will have a bit more to go on.

I would love to hear what your opinion of this blog is so far. I would love some good constructive criticism, go for it, I am learning and want to learn more as well as the readers of this blog.

Smile and the world will smile with you…it works…:)

Promoting,

Now that is a project, that takes time, lots of patients, trial and error, and did I mention Time. Yes, you need to devote time to going to other blogs, leave a comment, so that if they choose they can come to your blog. Make sure when you do make a comment you type in your blog address, so they don't have to come looking for you, when your filling out the comment section. There is a place for the URL use it, and use the name of your blog for your name. You don't want to become to obvious with your wanting them to comment yours. That in it self will come with time and effort. In other words once you do fill in that information, there really isn't a need to repeat it in the actual blog, that's my opinion though. If something gets to redundant I tend to ignore it. Visit sites like Carnival of Making Money Online, daily, to submit a new story, vote on other stories that have been posted, or just leave a comment.

I am researching other possibilities to get my page to be seen by others. Like for instance I posted a blog in my, Myspace account asking others to come look at what I am doing now, take a look, leave a comment, etc. I also did this in Facebook, I went to my notes and posted another saying the samething and leaving my url. One thing I also added to both posts was the phrase, "Pass it Forward". I figure if they like what they see or know someone who could use some of the information I have given here they can pass it forward. Its a Win Win situation. Forgot to mention that in myspace my blog is set to be viewed by the public, this way if someone has done a search and happened upon mine, that will also give that blog exposure.

I try and do this everyday, one here, one there, you never know when you will get a reply, or a comment. Each one makes it one more that has seen your idea's, stories, advertising, advice, helpful hints, etc. Mine isn't much to look at here, thing is I am willing to keep learning, reading and trying my own way of working at this.

Just keep plugging away at it, and don't give up, there is so, so many other blogs out there with GREAT helpful, idea's, and suggestions. If something isn't working, try another, and so on.

Been doing some more reading after I posted this, there are many, many good tips to learn from if you take the time to read the blogs, maybe leave a comment saying thank you for your help. Myself I have been listing some in my information links, so that I can go back to them to pick up on what I may have forgot, or when I am ready to try something else, I have the information ready for a click.

Blogging, Adsense, social networking, oh my...lol

Oh my! is right, been doing a lot of reading and then reading some more. Went to work to try some of the things I was reading about, then find another page that says, don't do that do it this way, or that way.. to funny. The thing is people find what fits them best; they talk about it because it has worked for them. Doesn't mean another way won't work, just that they found their niche. Now with someone like me scrolling through the pages, because others took the time to write out what they did and what steps they took, just WORKS. I like it. I am finding so many different and unique ideas and suggestions for this blog in the future.

Yesterday I did just that did some reading and went and tried something out.. Guess what I didn't read enough on it.. yep mistake time ..lol I signed up for some kind of tracking, analysis program, only thing was it interrupted my Adsense somehow, it wasn't recording anything at all, just said, Data Not Available. So in that mistake I learned don't jump to quick, its ok to try things just know how to undo them in case they don't work first. That’s what I learned today. What was nice though I already have a pretty good understanding of html and how it all works, I just had to figure out what to do. This time I was lucky, the first thing I did was cancel the analytic program off on my blog. I went back to my Adsense report and still said, "No Data Available". So that said to me that somehow that program interrupted the ads. So what I did, is I went into edit mode in the blog and took out the existing ads and replaced them with new ones to see if that would work. It was a guess on my part. After I replaced my ads, I waited for a few, then went back into my Adsense report to see if there were any changes. Yes!!! The data was back in tact. So with that mistake I learned not to be too quick without knowing how to undo in case it doesn't work.

Now for the research after that, oh my, so many blogs and sites, and ideas, and and and... to read. I have learned a lot today. Today after that mistake, I decided to make it a reading day more so than a doing day. Gain some good knowledge of this new adventure I have chosen to pursue. I am so thankful for all of you who has written your idea's, your knowledge gained, and offering advice in the, 'How to's' and 'What not to do's'. My main source for finding blogs on this subject of the day was at Carnival of Making Money Online, the reason is because they have so much right there in one spot to check out, read and learn from. And to think I found that site by working one of the other programs trying to make a bit of money. Like I said in the previous post how much something like that is worth in actuality to me, is priceless.

I am going to head back to reading; I am reading a 4 part series about blogging for 2009. So far it has been an interesting read.

Would love to hear your idea’s and comments, even advice to help, all would be appreciated.
