Found My Sister Blog
A minor aside today, nothing about my Squidoo based project. I was doing some research and I discovered a blog on a similar topic to my own - e.g. start with no knowledge about making money online and record the steps taken to earn money.
Okay, there are blogs on every topic so I’m not surprised. However, I was hoping that my Unique Selling Point was the fact that I’m a technical guy (I’m actually a developer) and I suspected that most people would come from the marketing side. However, being an ex-developer, Caroline has that nailed too.
The numbers from the blog make pretty grim reading. She has been investigating making money from the internet fulltime for more than a year, she writes well and she has more than 5,000 subscribers. Despite this, she reports average earnings per month in the low thousands of dollars.
Yikes! If I follow the same vector, and I only have 10-15 hours per week available, it definitely is not worth it for me. I’d rather spend my time playing Everquest.
I’ve also revisted an earlier post. I wanted a way of transferring multiple files to my webserver with a single command so I’ve updated the myscp function to enable this.
