I’ve been listing a few domain names that I have for sale, looking to clean house a bit and start a new. I’ve rambled a bit about it before… and there you go.

(…on a sidenote: Adi is looking to sell: ComeOnWallStreet.com… if you’re interested)
I’ve also tried my hand at the 30 day challenge. As you can see - that didn’t really pan out. I think it was a matter of timing. I was busy with off-line things, and didn’t get a chance to focus on the task at hand. I was also very very frustrated with the coding, trying to develop a list (in less than 30 days) to send out requests and newsletters. I just didn’t feel that I could develop something I liked in 30 days - and I figured that out at the end of week 2 and you can see that I’ve not done much since day 14. So it’s kind of been stalled out. I’m not sure how Dan did it with his $15k challenge - he obviously had a better idea of how to do it. Had done it before sort of thing… because lord knows I wasted spent money on that project - that I’m hoping to re-coup at some point. Probably will be a longer challenge tho I think the idea is sound - I like crafts, I like blogging, I like chatting to others. But I’d rather be passionate about the craft in question. If you know what I mean. I don’t want to be offering knitting tips to people - and I don’t have a clue about knitting.

Some marketer I’ve turned out to be.

I also had a comment from Calvin yesterday about the whole $4-ish, I’d made on the weekend. That I’ve been doing this for a year and a half and that’s what I get… the odd day with good adsense payouts.

Seriously. He’s got a great point. I’ve been working on this sort of thing for over a year and a half. I don’t have a lot to show for it. It could be for a number of things. I think the main one is that I chased after ideas that were already exploited. Me and 100,000 others doing the same thing. Any clicks I got were crumbs. That’s not a way to make money online. It’s a splash of luck - a bit of research - and I really do think you have to be a little interested in the topic you pick. I think as time goes on - and things pick up for the sites that you love doing, and money starts to be a bit more regular - then I say go out and try something different. Something you know nothing about. Dive in. Go hard. Fill yer boots.

But you have to start somewhere. I think that’s where I faultered a bit. I just went gung-ho into things that I had no love for. No Passion. None at all. And so my ideas would sit around - until I had enough.

I’m changing that now.

I’m going to work on sites I have an interest in. Sites that have shown me in the past - that there is money to be made. I’m going to focus on a few - not the lot. I don’t want to overwhelm myself. I want to build “sticky” sites, if you will. Ones that people want to come back to. That people want to be apart of.

I just want to have fun again. Where this isn’t all about work - and slogging through it - but where work can be inspiring, fun, and I learn something along the way.
