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…:)

Trial and Error, Testing, all helps

I have been working on something’s the last few days. As you can see I have added some items to my blog here. Let me know if you can see them or not, the one I am concerned about the most is the You Tube video at the bottom.(took it down, if you didn't see it already) I am only experimenting with this right now, trying to figure out what would look good, bring others in, hold their attention, etc. Video’s can be fun; I believe this one is to show more comedy at least that is how I tried to set it up. Let me know, please.

I have signed up for Bravenet the reason for that is, I like the free web tools they offer on their site. For instance, hit/counter which tracks those unique visits, repeat visits, and return visits giving you a total for the day, or how ever you want to view them. They also have an affiliate program that you can be apart of. The link for Bravenet is in my list of Money Online Programs Links, check it out. You may find that little tool you were looking for in Bravenet. Oh, also with Bravenet if you’re looking to put up a simple website or even a place you want to store pictures you’re using online, they have that. Many different ways you can use Bravenet with its Free membership as well as good deals on getting more.

I have joined a few more programs; I do need to add those to the Money Online links too. I have been working some programs to make a little income and at the same time reading and learning about more opportunities available that I may want to check out. I have played with something’s with my blog as far as setting up the way it looks. I took the video off for now, I would like to make it play just certain video’s like, "comedy" in one place, then maybe, "how to’s" later on, give it a change now and then. It is something I am working on and planning out. I do know though it does work on this blog, that’s one test done. :)

Now I need to keep working on communication with others as well with those that I have made contact with already. It is nice having good support from those that are working in the same area’s or even similar yet different area’s to converse with.

I think I may have had information overload, early this morning. I just couldn’t concentrate on anything. So I got up walked around, took my dog outside, found it was snowing, took my eyes and mind away from this for a break. If you find yourself in this situation, GET UP, walk, get something to drink, take the time to make something to eat, or just go outside and walk for a bit. REFRESH YOUR MIND. You may think this is a waste of time, it isn’t, it will save you many aggravating times when you just want to take your laptop, desktop, and throw it, hit it, shut it down, or what ever your way of venting that your feeling you want to do but don't, you need to get up walk away, TAKE A BREAK, It saves… I had to do it several times today and I am glad I did. I accomplished more than I expected today than I originally thought when I started this morning in a weird frustrating mood. Take the advice and use it or not, its just away I deal, since I went through it today I wanted to share it with you..

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.

Smile, then the world will smile with you.... :).....it works
