I often ask myself that question and day-dream about the endless possibilities of ways I can spend that money. What if I stopped daydreaming. Why not finally get off my butt and start saving! How much could I make over the course of the next few weeks, months, or years?! So I took it upon myself this week to start a blog.Blazehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05693772966217095751noreply@blogger.comBlogger39125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588733847777782740.post-75435679760631713152011-06-17T21:36:00.001-04:002011-06-17T21:36:41.132-04:00

As I continue to create lenses for squidoo.com I often research articles and forums about what people write about. One thing that has come to my attention on the inter-webs is the idea of affiliate marketing. Affiliate Marketing seems to have the highest ROI (return on investment) of any other form of advertisement on the internet.  I have looked at income statements of several well known passive

Am I the only one having issues with creating squidoo lenses? I emailed the squidoo team alerting them to the fact that I have tried to create a lens on several different occasions. Each time I attempted to create a lens I was told it is on the 'Squidon't'. This issue started about 1 month ago when I was attempting to create my GoGo Inflight Internet Review. I was told it was a squidon't article

It has been some time since there has been a true update on the status of my quest to make 1 million dollars. The reason is that there has not been much to write about. Over 1 year ago, my progress was completely derailed due to Ehow's buyout by Demand Studios. At that point, my immediate means of creating passive income online were completely thwarted. At that same point in time my wife was

I am currently on my way from Baltimore to Dallas- Fort Worth and I'm flying Airtran Airways. At first I thought to myself, what in the world am I going to do to pass the time? This airline isn't like Jet-Blue airways or Virgin Atlantic, which are the best experience in the air by FAR; but that's a post for another day. I noticed as I payed for my ticket that the flight would have

I must admit, I started writing these lenses to see if I could make money. It seems to have become an obsession for me rather than a mode for passive income. I like writing about anything I can think of. Some of my lenses may not have alot of written content, but creating these lenses seems to be cathartic. Take my nook magazine lense for example. I wanted to make sure others out there could find

If you are reading this post you are well aware that there is no longer an ehow writers compensation program for legacy ehow writers through demand studios media. So what are you going to do? I suggest you don't sell your hard work over to Demand Studios. They are not properly paying you for what you could have earned on your well written articles. Well if you are currently undecided, I will tell

Let me start by saying I no longer think well of Ehow, or Demand Studios. I was sent the following email about the fact that as of right NOW they will be ending the writers compensation program for legacy Ehow writers. According to the email I have two options. I can either sell my articles to them for a TREMENDOUS DISCOUNT, or I can take my articles elsewhere. I will be taking my articles

Well I'm not going to lie, I just did some research on squidoo lenses and the following lens is a bit of an experiment... I want to see how well this lens does. I don't want to give anything away, so I will write about my experiment in a few weeks.

I created two new lenses on Squidoo during this rainy day. One on the top three blackberry weather apps.The other is a lens for child birthday party ideas. They seem to be rather unrelated, actually they are but I hope they work nonetheless!

Today, March 20th 8:00 pm I played my final $5.00 bankroll on rush poker. I went all in with Queens post flop and had two callers, one had JJ and the other held 55 with a 5 on the board. Needless to say I sit dejected once again with $0.00 in my Full Tilt Poker account and a negative ROI for the past 5 years. I have been toying with this idea for some time to finally put a stake in the ground

I haven't realized until recently that I have a huge hole in my game. It's not that I don't know the math behind the game; that is something I know I need to brush up on. My biggest glaring weakness in my current game is that I can't see past my own cards. Many poker aficionados consider certain levels of poker. Level one is a general knowledge of the game and how to play the hand your dealt.

Once again, I have a sad story to tell you. I am sitting at the table and I am picking and chosing my battles. Next thing I realize I have FINALLY picked up a big hand! KK in the hole in late position. This is the second best hand in poker. If I go all in and get beat by aces so be it, but I want to get all my money in on the flop. Why? Well, because statistically I am the favorite going into the

I never claimed to be an expert poker player. I need help... For years I have played at the poker tables and I have paid the price. I have been raked for full price at full tilt poker, pokerstars, and in a previous life I was raked at bodog. I finally found an online poker site that I like at Full Tilt Poker and thats when I heardd about rakeback for the first time. Unbeknown to me, apparently

When I started to play poker online I was completely unaware of any rules, suggestions or etiquite that would accompany a more seasoned poker afficionado. One of the first questions that arise before you even hit the table (online or real life casino table) is how much money should I bring to the table? My first instinct was to play the minimum amount. If I am learning, I don't want to lose any

Conventional Wisdom seems to suggest that you should wait for the big blind to reach you before you jump into a game. Why pay in more money for a round of poker than you actually have to, right?... Well as far as I am concerned, being the fish that I am, I don's see a lot of good reason in this. If I sit down to a 9 person table and I end up on the button I am supposed to wait 8 full hands until

Here is the hard and fast rule: All-in for yours truly should only be saved for certain specific situations. Either I have the nuts and will definitly be paid off or I am in a dire situation (such as short stacked in a ring game, or tournament) and I have no other alternative. I have one addendum to the rule, Do Not get fast played into an all in moment by the end of the Turn card or River,

It's not always the hands you play that make you money. More often its about the hands you don't play that save you money! This must be what seperates the pros from the amateurs - the ability to lay a hand down when they know they are beat.  I should start off by letting you know that these hand analysis are usually at least 12 hours after the hand has been dealt.
