Time to get myself working
Day 254
Xela, Guatemala
Well, I’ve been away for nearly a year now and its time to face facts! My website isn’t earning any money. It hasn’t helped that I wasn’t being indexed by Google for the first 10 months :p Despite that, unless you have lots and lots of traffic a regular blog just won’t cut it.
I have a few ideas on how to make a buck and I’m not broke yet but my dreams of travelling the world just on one domain doesn’t look realistic. Damn!
Still, I’ve been looking into SEO and other web marketing and have another plan. If one blog won’t cut it, how about a few more? Thus the inception of my new site : http://www.firsttimebackpacking.com
I have a few more ideas for various sites too so I’ll be slowly bringing them up in the next couple of weeks. All I have to do is pray for some love from Google.
Watch this space….
