Earning money for sponsored blog posts is one of those types of income that I will not readily consider chasing. The main reason for this is because I don’t want to take on something with earnings that are restricted by my time. Blog posts take time to write and PPP only pays once per post so you have to stay on that hamster wheel to make any decent amount of money.
Being paid per post seems to me, too much like a job; you write, you get paid, you don’t write, you don’t get paid.
The Internet is an ideal vehicle for passive income. Why turn it into a cubicle?

Audiobooks are great for so many reasons. As someone who finds it difficult to spend time reading books, audiobooks make it very easy for me to absorb new knowledge and other people’s opinions.
I believe that learning is one of the most important activities we should all partake in. To stop learning is to close your mind, which means you limit yourself to your own creativity.
Different people learn best in different ways. Some people learn better through visual means, some through more tactile methods and some using audio. The environment we’re in can also have a tremendous impact on how much knowledge we actually absorb. For example, I find myself to be able to think much better when I’m relaxed and in quiet surroundings.
Audiobooks allow me to make productive use of what might otherwise be considered dead time e.g. when taking a shower or travelling. Recently, I’ve really enjoyed listening to the likes of Freakonomics, The Tipping Point and Blink.
If you’re interested in picking up a free iPod Shuffle and listening some some great audio books then I’d recommend Audible’s Free iPod offer.

When it comes to people’s businesses and livelihoods, it never ceases to shock me just how much faith is placed on third parties with little in the way of accountability. This behaviour seems to be much more apparent online than in the offline world. Much of this, I put down to people’s own perceptions about other people.
In the Internet marketing world, trust is a precious commodity. Trust will allow you more visitors to your website, more consumers of your product or service, more subscribers to your list. Yet many people will blindly place their trust without good reason. You might have done this yourself when you took a chance on an infoproduct or webhost on the basis of a recommendation from a complete stranger.

Microsoft is setting its lawyers on a group of men who’ve registered over 400 domain names that are related in some way to its company or products. Domains such as 1microsoft67.info, halo2player.com, freehotmail.net, genuinewindowsvista.com, and windowshome.info were parked and configured to display pay per click adverts.
As tempting as it might be to target the typo market, potentially infringing registered trademarks (especially of a giant like M$), it’s patently not very clever to do so.
There’s talk about one of the accused is a member of the Warrior Forum; an Internet marketer just like you and I.
Get the full details here and keep a check on those domains.

If you’ve been here before then you’ve probably noticed by now that my blog looks completely different from what it was!
