    Thank you :D

    I put that online at Geocities, just to share my project with people for free. After about 1 year, my Geocities site had over 10 thousand visitors. Then someone explained to me I could be making profit from it with Adsense instead of giving all the profits to Geocities.

    It's a small site, with low traffic compared to many others. But I'm happy, I've made way more than the cost of my hosting and domain name, and will continue to make a few dollars every month indefinitely.

    I'm convinced, Adsense is great. Now I'm reading the forums here, and planning something else that will work even better.

    That's a lesson you can learn from. Your first site does not have to be the perfect topic. Just do it, and it will be a learning experience. You will make a few bucks, learn how it works, and go on from there.

    Actually I like your site because it's really original (at least I havent found anywhere similiar), but many many many (and much more:)) users make just MFA, and that really annoys me.. anyway I know how to begin now, and what to make... first will be car related, then I'll make an own blog, coz I see many blogs actually they are 90% trash, copy pasted articles and I have many good thoughts, original one..

    Anyway kaethy, good job, and keep going..
    All the bests!

    MakeSens, you don't have to be completely original. With several billion people on the planet it is hard to imagine that someone else hasn't already written something similar to whatever you might write.

    However, when a user is looking for that information, the information that you and some other people know, the trick is to be the person that they find first, so they read your advice. The world is full of people that don't know what you know and that want to know it.

    Find a way to give your knowledge to them.

    This is a much less depressing way to look at things. It's not about being first or being the only one. It's about meeting a need, perhaps adding your personal voice or design style, level of quality or whatever. If you don't know what to do and aren't in a big hurry, just start a free blog and start writing about things.

    If you find you write about certain categories a lot, those categories could probably be developed into web sites. Just an idea.

    Well, I thought about this too, but it is a bit hard to get to the first place, second is hard too:) I`m on to make what you said, because I realised that otherwise I`m doomed.. actually my problem is that I think too much, or I want to put too much effort into something, and I see that is not worth, then I feel sad and usually leave.. less effort, less time..at least for me


    and now relax...tommorrow I'll have some competition..W3 gamimg:)

    Listenin to : Dj Tiesto - Live @ Sensation White on 02-07-2006 ..hell I wanna be at such a big festival..at least once till I die.. GoDL|k3
