I have been around as they say on the internet. Started making money online with a product back in 1999 called ViaCreme. This was a product that stimulated female genitalia in the event that she had suffered from a physical malady that prevented or blocked sexual stimulation. As can be expected, I made a boat load of money. Yet, I couldn’t figure out how to keep it flowing, so I spent every dime I had only to move on to the next internet superstar product.
I spent the next six – seven years working in corporate America all in either publishing, marketing, or graphics. I loved it because not only did I learn good business sense, but I also had an opportunity to let my creative side breathe. Besides, I needed a break from the internet until I could find a product or service worth promoting.
After the death of my son from Juvenile Diabetes, I decided to go full steam ahead, gambling on making it in the world of online marketing. I knew I loved writing and taking pictures, so I began blogging. I blogged about any and everything, not really having a direction of where I wanted the blog to go, or what I wanted to accomplish. All I knew was I was blogging and I loved it!
That is when I learned that blogging needs to have a purpose, a sense of being or else you will get random visitors everyday that find your blog by happenstance. I didn’t want that. I wanted a steady stream of readers, and I wanted a high page rank.
So I left the Blogger platform and moved over to self hosting here at Wordpress. I was unable to attain anything higher than a Page Rank 2 on Blogger in over one year. So let’s see what happens here on WP.
Feel free to contact me, leave comments, Tweet me, friend me on Facebook. I’m friendly, I won’t bite. Its all about networking, meeting people, chatting with them and forming virtual friendships.
I recently created an application for Facebook–Bejeweled 2–download it, share it with your friends so I can get paid!! Currently I utilize lots of CPA (cost per action) marketing campaigns to sustain me. These are the offers you see on any variety of websites advertising everything from Proactive to Acai Berry vitamin supplements. These campaigns pay well when you have lots of traffic. So make sure you tell your friends about my site, its how I eat! Oh and don’t let me forget the almighty Google Adsense.
Google Adsense is a beast until you start getting monthly commission checks just for showing their ads on your site. There is a $100 threshold a publisher must reach in order to get paid.
Ok, that’s it for now, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Take care,

I like your about page, sorry to hear about your son. Good luck with your endeavors. I do want to advice against encouraging your readers to check out your Google ads. Although you are not flat out telling us to click on the ads, Google may think you are and ban you immediately for violating the TOS agreement.

Enjoying your Blog posts. Quite informative and I’m already taking away some valuable insights and tips i may have not otherwise learned. In particular, your Articles on Affliate offers ’stringing’ people along and “What not to put in your Social Network Profile” gave me some much needed knowledge as i plan to increase my online presence in those arenas very soon.
