Whew. I’ve put in about 17 hours and 40 minutes into answering questions on ChaCha. Which has made me $32.80.
Current ChaCha Stats:
Time spent: 17 hours 40 min
Total searches: 333
Unfinished searches: 5
Earnings: $32.80
Earnings per hour: $1.86
So, my earnings per hour is abysmal, but I am hoping to change that!  It is said that guides average $3-$8 [...]

Clickbank Products… Who Writes This Stuff????

September 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments

OK, I’ve sold several products on Clickbank and made money with it in the past.  Ever since I have first known it, it has been a receptacle for garbage products.  I don’t blame Clickbank for this, I blame the writers of these ebooks that I just can’t bring myself to promote. There are some good [...]

Another Great Website Value Estimator

September 10th, 2008 · No Comments

Roni commented on a previous post about a site called Cubestat.com.
I checked it out, and it’s great!  Enter any URL and it shows it’s estimated worth, daily pageviews, daily ads revenue, and much much more.  It gives much more data than any other site I have heard of, but the internet is ginourmous, so something [...]

Why Ron Paul?

April 4th, 2008 · No Comments

There are many reasons I’ll be supporting Ron Paul for president. For one, Ron Paul is against the income tax, a tax that U.S. citizens are made to believe that they are required to pay, while they actually are not.
If you don’t know much about Ron Paul, you can learn more about him and [...]

Does Traffic Swarm Work? Yes!

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

The only traffic exchanges I have been using [...]

Stat Checking Obsessions

April 1st, 2008 · No Comments

I haven’t been blogging for a long time (consistently anyway), but in the time I have, I have found that I tend to spend more time checking stats than doing actual work.  It’s as if I hope to one day just check my stats and see that magically I made a ton of money without [...]
