I've got to make a living somehow, and since I chose to work from my computer in a digital world, I really don't have a 9-5 sort of scenario. My sister and her fiance =^) laugh that my computer is usually around me. They goto sleep around 11, have no clue when I fall asleep, wake up at 5am to me sleeping, and come home to me back on the computer.


I do put in almost a full 8 hr day into writing this and the other blogs and websites that I maintain all to keep food in my mouth, and more importantly, as she claims, a bone in Misha's Mouth. I have always been a night-owl, so the wee-morning hours do not affect me too much. I seem to get more done in the dead of the night. It's just more quiet.

Here is how I plan on diversifying my Vagabond Online Income through Blogging

I'm not sure how silly this is yet, but I'm going to give it a shot. One of the main reasons for having websites, other than informing and educating people, is to creative some sort of an income stream. As a Vagabond, I cannot really tie myself down to a 9-5 job with a career path. 7-11 is hiring, but I don't have any bullet holes, and really don't want any.

Amazon Kindle is a device used to read E-Books and other such electronic media, like an iPhone, but without all the cool play toys. We'll call this the Conservative iPhone for now. Amazon has announced a program, where they will allow you to place your blog, and it's posts into their cue of blogs to be downloaded and read on Amazon Kindle devices. Of course, Amazon doesn't wasn't to give anything away for free, so they charge ~$2.00 for each subscription, and I get a cut of that...equals to about a buck a subscriber. I noticed that while selling on eBay a while back, people will PAY for information they can easily find free on the net, if it is offered to them without them having to do anything. Go do a quick search for "Open Source Software" on eBay. ..Better yet, Search for "Open Office", check the prices, then goto www.OpenOffice.org and check THEIR price. =^O

Here goes nothing.....I'll post the link as soon as Amazon "approves" me.

So I came up with an idea a while ago to put myself on a consistent basis for updating this blog. I came up with 7 general topics that I can cycle through the days of the week to ensure that I have updated content. Since I'm a fan of alliteration, all the topics coincide with the day of the week.

I sign-up for EntreCard for this blog. EntreCard is a blog exchange site that also allows you to earn credit for advertising on other blogs by reading blogs in the network, and dropping your card on their site. Nothing extraordinary, but a way for me to gain some more traffic to this blog, and eventually the Vagabond site.

I must really not want to get a 'real' job, as I have updated 5 different sites, and posted my link all over the place today in an effort to increase my income from my websites.
