I am really thinking the way to riches is selling eBooks.
That 30.00 eBook I mentioned in the previous post… if it was priced just a little lower, I would have bought it. $30.00 is too much. A regular book doesn’t cost that much. Price it between $5 – $10 and if you have a good topic, how could anyone say no?
I gotta write an eBook.
Oh my gosh, guys! You won’t believe it! I made 1 whole cent today on Adsense! Thesis is doing its job!
On Twitter, one of the guys I follow posted a tweet: wondering if an extra $100 a day would help you? Can it be this easy? http://tinyurl.com/lujhb4
Yeah, it’s an eBook selling for 30 bucks boasting 20 Step-By-Step Blueprints For Making $100 A Day From Home. I have been stung by eBooks in the past.
I know better than to buy this book…. yet why am I so tempted?
What is wrong with me?
In other news, are any of you guys on Facebook or Twitter?
I just slammed a bunch of Bobo pix in my new Thesis Multimedia box…. that’s the box to the right of the top post… to those of you not reading this via a RSS reader. Each time you refresh the page, a new picture of my little yellow-bellied dog nephew will pop up for your viewing pleasure.
And to those who are wondering…. He’s a Japanese Chin.
(I think Dustbury is the only one who will get this silly little inside joke, since he’s the only reader who has visited me and got to walk Bobo)
The Japanese Chin is a sensitive and intelligent breed whose only purpose is to serve man as a companion. Agile and playful, they can be taught to perform tricks and like to show off to an audience of friends. Their coat varies in size and length, but most are white with black markings. They can also be white and red.
The Rivers Rockabilly Trio are playing at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville tonight! They are doing a tribute to Buddy Holly! Ed Marra, the world famous Buddy Holly Stylist will be helping the guys out with vocals and specs. If you are in the area, you should go!
I haven’t been the most entertaining blogger of late. Late meaning the last couple of years. My father likes to remind me that I once had some blogging mojo… unfortunately it has left the building, never to return. As you know I decided to monetize this Website a few months back and have been failing miserably. You may also remember Donnaville was hacked back a number of months ago and I have never recovered in terms of traffic. I don’t know if I was removed from search engines or if I was blacklisted and continue to be blacklisted but I am not getting anywhere near the same amount of traffic I used to get. When I told this to my dad yesterday he said, “That’s because you don’t produce any quality content!” And that is true but what is also true is, I never really did. Plus, most of the traffic I got was just one time visitors searching for something odd that I happened to have written a post on. And I’ve been writing blog entries since 1998! I have more than enough content! Even if I only sporadically come up with something only slightly amusing, I still have 11 years of old posts!
So I’ve been thinking. What is wrong and what can I do? Finally I decided that some of the problems are probably related to the lack of Search Engine Optimization on this site. Back when I was working for the weekend, I had no intention of making money from Donnaville AND I had no real interest in attracting readers. So I never bothered with Categories or Tags or Meta Descriptions or anything that might help people find me better. And my theme was certainly not helping. Every single page was being fed to the Googlebot and I think Mr. Googlebot didn’t like the sheer amount of duplicate entries he was being fed. That could be the reason ALL my pages (all 13,900!) are showing up in the Supplemental Index: site:www.donnaville.com *** -sljktf Something needed to be done. Last night I plunked down the money and purchased the Thesis WordPress theme. Its users says it’s all about SEO and customization and ice cream and Charles Bronson. (Last night I had a dream of Charles Bronson, he wasn’t looking too good, kinda skinny). I am not sure if Thesis really is all it’s cracked up to be or if they just have a dynamite affiliate program and people will sell their soul for 33% of $87 or $164. But I am desperate! I want to restore Donnaville to her former glory and make some money along the way.
I hope this new design is pleasing to your eyes. Hopefully you won’t notice if I take out some garbage. And bear with me as I try to crank out something…. anything. And let’s hope Mr Googlebot decides that Donnaville is a nice crunchy snack that should be displayed closer to the top of the results and not in the back Supplemental Index closet.
I’ve been using Chrome for awhile. It took me awhile to get used to it. Once I found how to add a home button to the toolbar I was in love. I am in even greater love because Chrome now has themes! I’m using the one created by Tibi– whoever that is… I don’t know. All I know is… I like!
Pissicle
pi·sic·cle (pi′sik′əl)
noun
a tapering, pointed, hanging piece of solidified urine, formed by the freezing or drying of dripping or falling urine
“Get a wet papertowel, Bo’s belly is full of pissicles!”
I thought I coined this term last night, as it turns out, it’s been in circulation a long time.
I know you are all dying to know how I finished September with Google’s Adsense.
Get ready for this!
I earned a total of…
$3.06
Yes. Thank you. Thank you very much!
Guys, I saw something disturbing today. I went to a business card exchange this afternoon. One of the fellows at this event had an absolutely obnoxious odor surrounding him. I found myself reeling back, trying to breath out of the side of my mouth so I might get some fresh air. Besides, dry heaving in his face just didn’t seem appropriate… yet here I am worried that I might retch from his filthy odor— why the heck didn’t he consider washing!?!!? At any rate, it gets better. I decided to try the old, shake hands and wish well routine just so I could break away and get some non polluted air into my lungs. As soon as I grasped his hand… HIS NIPPLES POPPED OUT. I could see them under his polo shirt. HE HAD THREE OF THEM!! Three smurf tents!
Yeah, it was quite a day.
I went Swing Dancing last night! I wore my full red skirt that reminds me of the skirt Cyndi Lauper wore in the Girls Just Want to Have Fun video, a black shirt and a big fat black braided pleather belt.
It was shortly after the dance lessons ended and all the real dancers stepped onto the dance floor that Johnny Castle came over to me and asked me to dance! He was dressed EXACTLY like Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing: tight, black button down, short-sleeved shirt and tight black pants. The one difference is he looked more like Slater from Saved by the Bell than Patrick Swayze. I told him that my only experience dancing was the earlier lessons. He said, "I’ll be gentle!" Well before I knew it, he had me spinning all over the dance floor! OH MY GOD! He was an amazing dancer and he actually made it easy to dance with him!
I felt like I was just gliding! I just know I had the most insane grin on my face because I was suddenly living my dream of being Ginger Rogers or one of the gorgeous ladies dancing in the Championship Ballroom Dancing hosted by Juliet Prowse. A number of other men asked me to dance and while they were good dancers, none equaled the suave elegance of AC Castle.
I know you think I put my amazing Photoshop skills to the test and created that amazing Mario Lopez as Patrick Swayze image… but you are wrong! I found it here!
