I just wanted to give this forum a little room to breathe, for it seems that every other post is some cheap plea to either buy/sell something. Just wanted to share some thoughts that have been running around my brain lately, as well as maybe make a few friends out of this First off, what do you do for a living? Simple question, doens't need any explanation. Only requirement is to be as honest as possible. I myself write for a living, doing keyword articles. I make about $200/week from it... but hopefully I can get a pay raise/ more work from it so I can make more. Also, I offer marketing services by using online medias... however I have not made much success/profit from this. I charge $2-20/hour or /project, and have only made about $30 since I started that bsuiness a few months back. Secondly, what websites have do you love? Besides DP, of course HAHA. I love deviantart, as well as pandora.com ... I'm an artist myself, so if you have great art-related sites, please let me know!!! Hopefully you can share yourself, and I'd love to see what all of you say
I couldn't agree more. 9 threads out of 10 are spam or junk. I'm a full time webmaster / internet marketer / web analytics person for a multi-million dollar ecommerce company. I also do affiliate marketing and run various projects on my own, and do the occasional freelance programming work. I'm also a father and husband, so I have no time for anything else usually lol. Congrats, you are making more than most people who post here. $200/week is about $800/month - way way ahead of most people here. Google (especially Google Images, and Google Maps, and I've recently gotten attached to Google SketchUp). I spent more time on Facebook than I'm willing to admit, but I wouldn't say I like it, I just have alot of friends/contacts there. I also spend a shitload of time on PHP.net, but that's usually for work purposes Aside from that, just the occasional blog. Not a lot of sites really grab my attention these days.
Christian: First, thanks for the reply... truly means a lot Thanks I actually sent you a PM about my marketing business, so I hope you don't mind me asking some advice. Second, google sketchup is AMAZING! I have had it since it's Beta first came out... and I find it addicting. Thanks again Christian!
I'm a graduate student and I'll be back in school in a week. During this summer and every chance I get, I like to develop web operations and create blogs. I'm also a domainer and perform SEO services for others. I spread myself too thin, but I'm just interested in everything webmaster related. How much I make a week online varies. At first, I didn't make any money online, but I did learn a lot about the web and built a handful of nicely aging websites and now some of my sites are becoming lucrative. I don't want to give out specifics, but depending on how hard I'm pushing I can attain xxx/week. Still, I just reinvest it back into the web anyways. My favorite websites - Google adsense page, Google search, NamePros, DigitalPoint, and ESPN.com/nfl. (I'm usually on my own pages).
Thanks money I myself will be heading back to school as well. I'd love to know some of your sites... and thanks for sharing everything!!
