What I have been up to.

Hi Everyone,

Have not found anything to add to the stake since the last update.  As discussed I have been wading through some of the free internet marketing info I have received looking for the nuggets of valuable info.  I came across some instructional videos describing how to easily set up a blog, monetize it with adsense, and drive some traffic to it.  I have set one up as a test to see if it works.  I will not tell you what it is just yet as I want to see if traffic will get there on its own.  So far it is getting page impressions but no clicks on the adds.  I am going to give it some time and then report back to you.  If it works I will summarize the technique so you can try it out yourselves.

The second thing I have been up to is looking for a job.  As I previously mentioned I am out of work and I really need to put most of my energy into finding the next job.  This brings me back to the "Off Kilter" project I mentioned a while back. 

I will be setting up another blog to serve as the "hub" for my off kilter project.  In a nutshell I have realized that most of my big accomplishments in life happened when I was focused on that one item.  The rest of my life was somewhat out of balance during these times, hence the name "Off Kilter".

This got me thinking that all this talk about balancing your life doesn't work for me.  I am thinking maybe it doesn't work for some of you either.

So long story short the "Off Kilter" project will be a list of the things I go out of balance to achieve.  Doubling will be a subset of the project.

Finally the last thing I have been doing is digging out of the snow.  We have had over a foot here.

Anyway, enough rambling for one post.

Until Next Time...
