Well, this blog will be my new experiment and hopefully I can provide users with information while generating revenue for myself. I’ve been skeptical about making money with blogs because I didn’t think it could be done, but after reading and seeing tons of blogs make money I decided to make one myself. Since I’m pretty proficient with webmastering, I thought I’d make my blog on monetizing websites, forums, and tips for building your online business.
First let me give you a little background about myself. I made my first website when I was merely eight years old. At the time I liked Pokemon so it was a Pokemon website, and you can actually view it at http://maxpages.com/mew2spokegym
Haha so that website really sucks, but you must admit it was pretty ambitious for an eight-year old, and it even received 3600 visitors total. When I began making serious websites, meaning off of Maxpages and Geocities, I started learning the real basics of HTML and PHP. At such a young age it really gave me a great background for learning how to make good websites.
I started making websites for fun as a hobby, but it wasn’t until I found out that websites can actually make money did I start monetizing my sites. Back then, Google adsense wasn’t even created, so it was a lot harder to make money online, especially if you weren’t selling something or providing a service. For a while I just made websites to become popular, but I began to make money by selling designs.
Luckily I was pretty talented with designing. After initially starting with Paint Shop Pro, I began to become proficient with Adobe Photoshop. I was too lazy to make a nice design for this blog though, but this is mainly because I still haven’t looked through the Wordpress templating system.
After many years of making websites, I’m currently the owner of several online sites which are bringing in some pretty substantial spending money. Sorry, but I can’t reveal them in this blog, but if you search hard enough you can probably find out what sites they are.
I hope this blog will become very helpful for any aspiring work-at-home people, and this will also be another one of my projects. Although still quite a new blog, I’ll keep you updated on how much this blog is making to also assist you in making a blog like this of your own and monetizing it.
Good luck with all your web endeavors, and until next time. - Zen
