Well, 2006 is finally coming to an end and I know that I have not posted a lot, but I have been incredibly busy. And I have to admit, I have been incredibly lazy as well. I guess I am still just a kid in certain things which is why I have not done anything. But, I have my New Years resolutions, I have plans and I have a lot of motivation to really get things started. I suppose the small break to just enjoy myself has really allowed me to work and do what I wanted. Playing the games that I got for Christmas is something that I really wanted to do and I will still probably do it during the remainder of my vacation. But, I really do want to get focused and that’ll start tomorrow.

What did I get for Christmas? I scored is what I can really say. I got quite a few shirts, quite a few more gift cards and two video games: Scarface and Sopranos. If you don’t know, I really am into criminal type games. I love them, but that’s because I have such an interest in the mafia. It’s where I really got into all of my writing. I joined a roleplay site and wrote for years on different mafia sites. I loved it, but being a college student who wants to make money online, I don’t have time to continue writing. Now, I’ve mentioned what I got for Liz a few times, but never actually told anyone. I got her a diamond necklace. I wanted to get her something that she would love and wear all the time, so I decided on getting her the necklace. Overall, it was a really enjoyable Christmas, but because of it, I have gotten no work done what so ever.

I’ve decided on sponsoring a site for someone I met. The way it is going to work is that I will get him a domain name and hosting and in return, he runs the site completely. He wants to make a forum sort of like the mafia ones that I have done in the past, but this one will be based around business. This is good because I think that most sites that are interested in business could link exchange with it. Basically, the point of it is to start off small and then try and build your company into a world wide corporation. You can either use deception and crime, such as hiring an assassin to kill a competitor, or you can do things the honest way and create exceptional products. I really like the idea which is why I sponsored it. I won’t do any work on it, but that’s alright. I will use my knowledge in getting traffic and they will use their knowledge in creating good roleplay games. I get all the profits from the site, so it really benefits me. While the site is worked on, we are starting a form of viral marketing, so I am really anxious to get it started. If you run some form of business site and want to link exchange, let me know.

Scifreak averages about 4.3 visits a day, but that’s because I have neglected it completely. The weird thing, though, is that knowing that many people come each day to read the blog really makes me feel good. I like knowing people are interested in what scientific things I am interested in. It really is great and that is something I like. Obviously, I can’t wait to get the money made, but the truth is, knowing someone comes back every day to read my blog is really an encouragement and I know that I owe my readers for reading it and I shouldn’t stop posting. And I won’t. Starting tomorrow, I will really get to work on the stuff. And I really do like it none the less.

Anyways…I hope you are all having an amazing New Years Eve. I hope you all spend it with those you love and I am sorry for not posting in a long time. I want to wish a happy New Years to my blog rollers, so Happy New Years to you all! I want to wish Lithman a happy New Years. He deserves it, especially with all the work he’s done for me, helping me get started and that. So, I owe him and a lot of other people for the growth of my site. Happy New Year everyone!

It’s about time I get things under control. These past few days have been really hectic, even though I said that I was going to get to work on Monday. Well, the work sort of occurred, but nothing overly exciting. I organized some of my articles which is good because now I have about fourteen articles for my neurology and psychology site when I do decide to open it. I have the domain already; I just need to set the blog up on it, get a theme for it and then get the categories. It isn’t hard to put it together, but it will take some time to get everything organized and ready. That’s why I haven’t exactly made it yet. I’ve decided that I really want to get scifreak.com big because I figure that it could run itself once I have gotten it larger. Sure, I’ll need to post every day since that’s what the blog requires, but I also think that once its really going, I’ll be able to focus on other projects. Maybe just get someone to write a post or two for me every day. Digital Point has tons of writers that’ll write an article for $5.00 a piece.

I am rather pleased with the way this blog is going. I am not pleased that I have missed so many days, but this time of the year is horribly busy for people and I am one of those busy people. Once the holidays are done, I know that I’ll be able to sit down and really work. And maybe I’ll get a few things that are interesting for the holidays and enjoy them while I work. I really have no idea what I am getting except that I know gift cards are on the way. But I am excited about that. I figure I can buy some clothes and those sorts of things, so it’ll really prove to be a nice Christmas, I do hope.

Today’s day was really spent just deciding on what I wanted to do. I looked up some information about Broadway and then tried to find some ways to profit (such as selling tickets for a bigger ticket company to make a profit) but there was little I could find. I’ll look more once I do create the blog, but for now, it’ll have to be google adsense. Along with that, I finally got scifreak.com over to my hosting. Now I am complete owner of the site and I am anxious about that. I’ve decided that until the blog is much larger, I am going to have to post twice a day in hopes of getting more content indexed by google. I’ll need to add that “URL shortener” for SEO purposes, but for now, all I want is to continue posting. I’ll probably put Adsense on it in about a week or so, but for now it’s just trying to get traffic to it.

Today was a simple day and I’ve been churning with ideas.  I am anxious to get the science blog really growing, I’m going to look for link exchanges and hope for the best.  The arcade is getting daily plays, but not much money.  In reality, it’s just cool to own an arcade and know people go there and play.  If I get a click or two, marvelous, but that’s not on the top of my priority.  It’s something nice for me to just enjoy and play some games sometimes.   I’m anxious to hopefully get the other sites ready too.  And I might be looking to get some automatic blogs started so that I can have some easy sites running that might earn.  Sorry for such a long post and for boring you.  Have a great night and see you all tomorrow!

Well, I’ve had a few days of relaxation and now it is time that I begin my work.  Monday is going to be a start of a few weeks of powerful work that will hopefully result in some rather nice sites.  As most of you already know, I will be making a site about the World Wars, about Broadway and probably a series of other things.  It’ll take time, it’ll take research, but I figure that if I dedicate two or three hours of my time each and every day, I should be doing alright.  The only problem is that I am not that good when it comes to tech related stuff, so I might either need to really dedicate a few days to learning or continue to get support from random friends.

In other news.  Scifreak.com will be mine in a matter of a few days.  What started out as a blog for David and I to blog about is turning into something that I am going to own completely.  He’s an exceptional writer, but he wants to stick to his sports and I don’t blame him.  I know very few people that know quite so much about sports.  He’s got a few ideas cooking, so I wish him the best of luck.  But, because scifreak is going to be all mine, I need to focus a lot on it and get some more content going.  I’ve neglected it these past few days, but that’s because of finals and the sort.  I intend on posting twice a day so that I can get more posts indexed by google.  I’m going to try and get it so that the url doesn’t end in: p87 or something like that, but rather: “title of the article.”  That might allow for more traffic from search engines and therefore, more money to be made.

The night is still young and I could work tonight, but I’ve decided that I want to spend it with Liz.  She and I are doing wonderfully.  I took her to see her first James Bond movie tonight and while she was slightly bored, one cannot live life fully without witnessing at least one Bond movie.  And let me tell you…I’ve seen a lot of the Bond movies, but this one, without a doubt, is the best.  And, it’s got the best action and the best dialogue.   I wouldn’t be surprised if I went to see it again.  Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know what my plans were.  Keep reading because the next few days and weeks show a lot of promise.  Have a great night!

Well, let me tell you…These past few days, well, since Monday, have been hectic, tiring and overall, just plain difficult.  But, they are finally done and as of yesterday, I am all done with my first semester of school.  I didn’t do as well as I would have liked, but it is my first semester in college and I know what I need to do to get farther in my education.  I need to study more and focus more on my education.  But that sure as hell does not mean that I am not going to do my work online.  It just means that I am going to need to manage my time just a tad bit more.  I feel bad because it might mean a little less time with Liz, but I have a lot of ideas and once I get things rolling, I should expect some great things.

I thought up another idea for a site.  First, of course, there was the Broadway one.  I am still going to do that one, of course, but another idea came to me when I was reading Flags of our Fathers.  It’s the book that became a motion picture created by Clint Eastwood.  I have not gotten very far in the book, but I must say that it is an extremely enjoyable book, at least the introduction.  Either way…I intend on making a website that is about World War Two.  I saw one about World War One for sale, but I am not sure if I really liked it or not.  I could have bought it, but I decided that I would write the content myself.  I intend on making it into a blog probably, but you never know.  I won’t go into too much detail until the site is actually up.

I am glad that it is finally vacation and I am terribly sorry that I have not posted in a while.  I will be sure to get back to my daily posting, at least every other day.  But, I get so terribly tired, especially since I am swimming every morning now, trying to get into shape.  Maybe it’s just today that I am really tired…I swam, gave blood, went shopping and all of that stuff.  It all tired me out, but now I am just relaxing with Liz and enjoying the night.  Anyways…Time to watch a movie and get to bed.  Have a great day everyone and a great weekend!  Stay tuned for future site progress.

Alright everyone! I finally have a site that will maybe earn me some money. I have even implemented adsense onto it. With the help of my friend, David Lithman and the great generosity of him, my arcade site is finally open. You can see it here at zapmix.com. I know that it looks like most others, but I do plan on getting other games for it and offering contests to try and bring people to the site. I have to say, though. For personal usage, it is exciting. It is fun to play them when I am about to shoot myself with too much chemistry. I love science, I’ve really, honest to God, fallen in love with it. More so than I thought I would, even as a science major. But, chemistry is just so damn difficult.

So, I have decided that I am going to make a site all about Broadway.  I know that I am telling you all about it and you could easily rob it, but it’s a site that takes a real interest in and that is something I have.  I’ve acted for five years now and I love it.  So, I really have a passion about it and know a lot about it.  I could throw in acting techniques that I have learned along with synopsis about many different plays.  I am going to make it a blog so that I don’t have to worry about a site design.  I’ll have musicals, plays, off-broadway stuff and many other subjects as well.  It’s a great thing to write about and there are quite a bit different searched terms for it as well, so I am anxious.

This next week will show extremely low amounts of work.  I am going to be studying from when I wake up to when I go to sleep.  But on Thursday, I will be done and I will start cramming out work to hopefully get up to some nice profit a day once I come back from my break.  Right now, though, I am going to take Liz down to her car and kiss her goodbye.  I hope you all have a great day and I’ll try and post on the blog the next few days, but if I don’t, you understand why.  Have a great few days!

I’m not sure why, but today was a particularly slow day when it came to the growth of my network. I guess that is how it’ll always be when you don’t know how to create websites and all of that. And, since next week is finals week, I really need to focus on that. I finished my English final tonight, a five page paper arguing for Stem Cell Research. I was able to write for scifreak.com, but it was not really anything too difficult. All I know is that I really like that blog. I like going out and doing some research to write a blog post. I am anxious to get adsense on it, but David and I want to let it grow before we throw Adsense onto it.

Tomorrow is the DLS (Delta Leadership Society) Christmas Fair where the kids in the neighborhood can come and do a bunch of different events along with talk to Santa Clause. The fun thing is that I get to play Santa Clause. I’ve never played a Santa Clause before, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be a fun experience. I love to act, so I just have to play a particularly good Santa Clause, that’s all. Tonight, though, I am going to go over to Liz’s place and just spend the night with her. It’s going to be a stressful week next week, so I want to relax for the next day. Once I am done with finals on Thursday, I will get to work to get my websites up and running. I don’t know how, but I will get as many websites as possible up and running before the break is over. I will have so much time to do it.

Finally, Agloco is doing great. There are a total of seven people in my network, which is really increasing my motivation. For those that don’t know, Agloco is a way for people to get paid in cash and company shares to surf the internet. Since the site is brand new, only about two and a half weeks old, a lot of new members will be given more since they are the starting members. A lot of people helped YouTube grow, but no one was paid. A lot of people helped Google grow, but no one was paid. Here, we get paid. If you’re interested in joining, sign up in my network. Just click here to sign up. Good luck everyone!

I decided today that I would get an arcade site up and running. I am not sure why, but I figured that I could get it spread throughout my friends and then they could tell their friends and then they could tell their friends. I figured that if I told enough people, the viral marketing would work itself and then it’d begin to get bigger and bigger. Well, the reason I thought about getting an arcade site was because I saw my friend David Lithman selling a small arcade. It was brand new and he wasn’t asking for much at all. I told him I was interested and he was generous enough to give it to me. All he said was that if I made a lot of money on it, to hook him up, so you bet I will do that. So, everyone check out his blog and check out all his great sites!

Anyways…I’ve been waiting a very long time for my genetics site. I know that it is a difficult topic to write about, but it’s been about three weeks and I am beginning to get restless. I will continue to wait because I know that the sites are good, but I guess I am impatient. I’ve been thinking about another site that I want to make. It would be a blog and have a lot of content because there are so many different things to write about. It’s broad enough and it’s searched enough. I won’t talk about it here, but when I do make it, I’ll let you all see it. I am excited to get it start, if I do make it. It won’t be too hard because it is something I love.

My other site scifreak.com is pretty consistent in the number of visitors that come each day. I think that there are probably some return visitors since the uniques don’t go up fast, but the visitors stay about the same. So, I think people are actually coming back to read the site, which is really awesome. That makes me happy. Part of me enjoys the thought of people reading my writing more than the thought of making money. But then I remember my post I made a while ago about how much medical school was going to cost and said, “Yeah, I still want to make money.”

Agloco is going well for me. I have a total of five people in my network. I believe three are from myself and then two are people my referrals recruited. But that really makes me happy. People are actually starting to join and I figure that each person that I get to join might bring someone. That really is encouraging and it could make some money. Granted, I will need more people to really get any money, but I think that if people continue to sign up, over time, I will see some small money. It could become either spending money or it could be investment money. I am not sure.

Speaking of spending money…With Christmas coming up, I really need to figure out what to get Liz (my girlfriend) for Christmas. I have some ideas, but I am not really sure. I am excited, though, to have a girlfriend on Christmas. I never have had one on Christmas. Actually, never had one over any holiday. But, that’s my personal life and you don’t want to hear about that boring stuff. I am very happy, though, with Liz and I can’t wait for Christmas to give her her gifts. Anyways…Sorry for such a long post, but I had so much to say! See you all around!

So, today’s post is just about what today is going to be. I am taking a personal day. And when I say a personal day, I mean a day for me to do some studying and then enjoy my time with my girlfriend. So, today I went back to my high school because my old Chorus teacher wanted me to sing with him and the chorus. It was fun to sing and all, but I have to say that it has been a long time. I used to sing every day in High School and now that I am in college, I don’t even have time. Oh well.

I am going to Rockefeller Center today for that Christmas Spectacular. I am taking my girlfriend to it and my roommate is going as well as a few of our friends. It’ll be nice to go to dinner with her in the city and to just relax for the night. Granted, I have a pre-calculus final tomorrow, but I am rather confident about it. As long as I focus and work slowly, I really think that I am going to do well. At least pull my grade up a little bit, which I really, really need. But he does say that he bumps grades up if you go for extra help and stuff. I’ve been twice, so I think it might help.

Anyways…Today, I am just letting my sites flow. This one will hopefully continue increasing in traffic as well as scifreak.com. I will get back to posting tomorrow, but not that much work will get done. I need to focus on my studies for the next week. Anyways…Liz wants to get down to the bus, so I am going to hop off. See you all around!

My friend is a very passionate sports followers, so for him to make websites and write articles about sports is a piece of cake.  But, for me, it is something that requires more focus and more work because I don’t really watch sports.  Now, I’ve been thinking about the possibility of making some sports websites, but I am not sure if they are worth it.  Do I make them and maybe make a dollar or two a day, or do I not worry about it?  I could probably focus and write content for about a month or so, but I’d grow restless quickly unless I saw a nice increase in adsense profits.  Do you think that I should stay away from the sports sites or do you think that they are an amazing profit maker and I should hop into the market?

Now, since I am a science major, I’ve often wondered whether I should stick to that since it is my specialty.  Specifically, I am pre-med, so would it be ideal that I focus around health related sites?  Should I write about neurology, cardiology, and things along those lines?  I wonder if it would be a good idea to stick to that or if I should branch out.  I do know that if I were to stick to just health sites, I could create a rather intricate network of link exchanges allowing for a nice amount of traffic to be exchanged amongst the sites.  However, is it a good idea to create just health sites?  Is there money in it or is it something that I would do as more of an interest rather than a profit maker as discussed a few posts back?

Finally, I have been wondering about celebrity sites.  There are a lot of actors and actresses out there that I could create sites about.  But, what I wonder is how worthy they are.  Do they really promise rewards or are they just attempts at maybe a dollar or two profit a day?  I wouldn’t want to put a whole lot of work into a single site and then never see any return on it.  Granted, I could probably sell it, but I don’t really like the thought of selling sites.  Once again, I could link exchange all of the different celebrity sites to get an increase in page rank and also get an increase in traffic for my site.  So, what do you recommend?

I know that I ask a lot of my readers for their advice, but I figure that, while this is my journey, it is also your journey.  You are following along with me with every post I make and probably check out every site I make.  So, I figure that I should try and get some advice from you all.  I appreciate everything from you readers and I look forward to reading all of your comments.  Now I am going to hop off and play some Wii with my girlfriend and roommates.  Remember what I said…You need to nurture your relationships and that is what I am going to do.  And tomorrow I go to New York City for a show with her.  Have a great night!

This post includes me cracking down on three things.  The first is my education, the second is, of course, my businesses, and finally my relationship.  So, first and foremost…Finals are finally here, which is great because then I can spend a lot of time working on business.  But, they are in hard classes.  Being a science major is not easy, so I have to really study hard these next two weeks.  Granted, I will have a lot of time next week before the two tests.  But, I need to focus on my Math and then this weekend, write a five page research paper as my final grade in English.  Then it’s just my two sciences.  So, I don’t expect to get a lot of work done these next two weeks, but once the semester is over, business, here I come!

Now, I do have plans about business.  Firstly, I have a domain www.neurologysource.com and I am trying to decide how to put it together.  Firstly, I could get a site designed that is an actual site.  It would be cool and I had my mother start putting together something, but then some things came up.  So, I would either have to buy it or use my option two.  Option two is to just make it into a blog.  I have about twelve articles, so if I posted every other day, that would last me twenty four days.  I could write a few more articles from the beginning, so hopefully by the time the month was done, I’d have made some money from adsense to purchase more articles.  If you don’t know what my battle plan for business is yet, then let me explain.

I am going to build a site.  I will add the content necessary for it and get it so that it is earning money.  Then, once it is earning something nice, I will take that money and start to buy content for that site and then create another site.  That way, I never have to look back at the other site and write about it again.  As I add more and more sites, I’ll get more money, hopefully, and continue to increase in fresh content for my sites and thus increase the profits even more.  I figure that if I were to update every other day for my sites, then I’d really get some nice money.  But, that’s my battle plan.  Do you all think it is a good idea or not really?

Now, my relationship.  I have learned that you really need to nurture a relationship for it to work.  You can’t just expect it to be wonderful.  My Mom once taught me this lesson.  She said that you need to continue to put into the bank because one day, you could really go into debt and need the money.  Well, affection is the money into the bank and a big fight is the debt.  I’ve learned this previous week that I really need to continue to nurture my relationship.  I love my girlfriend and I don’t want to lose her, so, I figure it’s time that I really learn the art of nurturing.  Running a business, going to school, finding time for my theater and then having time to spend time with the girl I love is extremely hard, but you know I wouldn’t ask for it any other way.  Anyways…I have an early Math class tomorrow, so I need to get to bed.  Have a great night.
