Blog Housekeeping

Haven't spent much time here since late last week because of being sick. Would have been back sooner but I wanted to get somethings done on my author's blog (linked in my profile). I was no longer happy with the colours. I found it a little difficult to read when I was tired. I imagine that would be a problem for my readers as well. I've gone to a closer to black on white for the written part. Another thing I worked at for the blog was an amazon powered bookstore. I had one in the past but allowed my affiliate membership to lapse. At the time I didn't know it could and was very frustrated. Rebuilding all those links related to it was too much. I just walked away for a time. Now I've begun rectifying all that. Without those links my book review site is useless to me. That is still a huge project. It'll get done at some point here. Not sure how long it will take but at least I have the tools now. I know how to avoid having it get cancelled now so all my work won't just end up on the scrap heap again. Like many writers here I'm hoping to build a more significant online income. The ten bucks per month I might make here is nice but it isn't much.

True. If you interact more often everyday, you'll get paid more than $10. I won't make it this month. But it'll be a nice Christmas bonus. I'm planning to be online more next month, starting this week and be on a lot, on and off.

I don't expect to make much more than ten a month here. I just don't have the time between everything else. My own blogs have the potential to provide more but I haven't paid them enough attention. I'll get there though.

@koopharper I don't blame you. I've neglected one of my blog that I haven't posted in 7 months. I haven't made much money on my book review blog with Amazon Associates in over a year. Just interact as much as you can and when you're able to.

I think lots of people are eager to write on the net to make extra dollars. Lots of competition.

Definitely lots of competition. A lot of it is more marketing than skill though.

I also want more significant income from my online activities. I am not making even 10 dollars in a month here but I enjoy interacting, however I do have to work in other sites also.

It is not much, but I guess it does help. If I was not working this would really be all I would get.

@koopharper I do agree with your comment below that there seems to be more work in marketing than competition. I am going through the same sort of things. Good luck with all of your projects.

For the moment I am glad for what I can make here. It's not easy to earn money writing on the net.
