Yeah I Sit On My Couch All Day!
What up guys,
So I guess I can tell you about my road to becoming a full time stay at home slob of a blogger. Well it all started when I could not get a job. I tried and tried and tried. Mostly it was the self-defeating thoughts I had. However that’s another story. Now one day while I was reading other websites about how to get rich online, I found this person talking about blogging. How many people try it and fail at it. Well since I was a failure anyways I thought to myself “why not give it a shot if I don’t succeed I won’t be surprised.” I had so many things I was passionate about. One being video games. As sad as it sounds it’s what I love. How childish right? This is what led me to start making videos of me playing other video games and reviewing them. I would go to the GameStop and rent a few games and play them through. Recoding every step of the way and making a complete walk through of the game. I would also write it down and take pictures. Giving my expert advice and all. After I did this I started uploading the videos to YouTube and spreading the word about the on every forum I could find. I was getting thousands of views a month. However when I noticed other people doing the same thing. They all had a website where they would recommend their fans come back to. As of this point I was just uploading my walkthroughs to forums. I was thinking about all the people I was losing to those sites. People who loved the same things as me. So I figured out how to make a website. It was not hard and I have little knowledge of making websites. I just bought a hosting service and installed WordPress on it. Then I started posting. People were coming in by the thousands from my YouTube videos and forum posts. This is when I realized something. These people really trust me and my content. Why not try to make money off them. So I started linking them to websites where they could buy stuff from companies. These companies then gave me a percentage of the sale. Now I make enough to live semi comfortably. I know this may sound farfetched but I really spent 2 years doing this before I made a dime. Anyways at the end of the day I guess it’s if you love something then try to make money off of it.

Congrats!! Do you think I could do the same reviewing the easy listening instrumental music I so enjoy listening to? I’m an I.T. guy, but no one will touch me because of my record as an R.S.O.
Yes, Many people make money off the internet through blogging. The trick is to not make it a personal blog and make it informative. Personal blogs are going out and the more informative less personal blogs are getting hotter.
Try making YouTube videos to funnel traffic to your website.
You can start your blog by first buying hosting. We use http://www.bluehost.com/track/dafb for our hosting. You can get it for around $4 a month. After that you can install WordPress through your Cpanel and you will be go to go!
Hi W.C. That sounds very interesting. Could you and would you help me try that? I am old enough for S.S. but get tired of hanging around the house doing nothing. I can’t find a job anywhere. Please help Thanks Ron.
