Pursuit of Profit

This guy is showing his love to Digital Point and Shoemoney. Most people will give a link to their favorite blogs in their blogroll, or maybe even a site wide footer link if it’s a site of distinction. Well this guy went further than that, he went and tattooed his favorite sites on his fore arm.

I think this has to be some kind of viral marketing, and the guy is either getting paid in traditional links or cold hard cash.

I was tagged by blogger Carl Pei and asked to give 5 reasons why I blog. Took me a while to think of the actual reasons I blog, but here are 5 real reasons I came up with.

1. Connection: Blogging allows me to share my experiences and ideas with like minded individuals. Honestly, how many of you have more than 1 or 2 friends, offline who are affiliate marketers or adsense earners? I bet not many of you! Learning and trying new techniques for earning online is exciting, but having no one to share that with isn’t.

2. No Downside: Why wouldn’t you blog? You can meet people, share knowledge, make money. What could you possibly lose?

3. Contacts: Most people who read blogs, in my opinion, are above average when it comes to being their ability online. They probably know something or someone I don’t that could be beneficial to me in the future. So being in contact with these people is a good thing!

4. Money: Blogs can make money, if I can write about something I enjoy and that gets me excited, good! But if I can write about something I enjoy, gets me excited and make some money from it, GREAT!

5. Freedom: I can say whatever I want, plain and simple.

Now my turn to tag 5 more and suck them in to this never ending game of gotcha!

Now that I got my first goal complete, I’ve gotta start thinking about how I can double the money I made. Time to find a new revenue stream! Should I do some PPC ads for the blog to increase readership? Should I focus on publicity or building a different revenue stream all together like an affiliate campaign advertised on google adwords?
