Getting Out of Debt: Join the Technorati Train
Technorati is a great way to increase your traffic, exposure and income (advertising revenue). The first time the Technorati train went around, I decided to not participate. I figured I'd wait for it to die down,so that I could revive it! I know, I'm terrible. :)
For some strange reason, technorati doesn't update my pings for this blog. For this reason, I've decided to use one of my other blogs. It's a new freebie site I just started. Here's my new addition: FREEfabStuff!
Anyway, I decided to use the Technorati train I found on a blog called:
ReformatThis
The blog is named after his Web Programming Company that specializes in custom web applications. I like his play on words. His last name is Matthis and it can be found in the URL of his blog's name Reformatthis! Pretty clever huh! His blog has a lot of great information and I wanted to share it with all of you. He creates great php hero cards. (You have to visit the entry to understand!) You have to see them. He hasn't been updating lately because he's had a new addition to the family-his first son. Congratulations! After this little train, I hope he has renewed energy to give us some more entries...
For easy installation of the list:
1. Click on the permanent link to this entry.
2. Next, click on view on your toolbar.
3. Click on source and you should be able to copy and paste all the names with the links. Quick and easy! Be sure to start copying at the asterisks. No one wants duplicate content!
If you are included in this train or are adding your URL to the comments, be sure to take full advantage of every traffic opportunity! Stumble this post, tag it on delicious and digg it!!!!!!!!!
***Start Copying Here:***
Here are the rules:
1) Write a short introduction paragraph about what or how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
2) COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below and post it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.
3) Take “My New Faves” and move them into the “The Original Faves” list.
4) Add 3 Blogs that you’ve just added to your Technorati Favorites to the “My New Faves” section. Remember to also add the “Fave Me” link next to your new blogs (i.e. http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://www.yourfavesdomain.com)
5) Add Everyone on this list to your Technorati Favorites List by clicking on “Fave the Site.” Those who want good kharma will fave you back. If not, you will for sure get the benefits of faves from the bloggers who continue this list after you.

10 New Year's Resolutions, 8 Completed!
This is the first entry I post this year! It was originally written on January 9. (You'll understand why it wasn't published until 1/17 at the end of this entry). I hope all of you enjoyed your holidays and are sticking to your New Year's Resolutions. The past year has been full of mishaps and unexpected expenses for me and the kids. Due to my incredibly full schedule, I'm always faced with prioritizing from a moment to moment basis. This is the reason for some of the actions I've taken including going "MIA" at times. For this reason, instead of creating a list of things I want to accomplish, I closed my eyes and did them.
These are my 10 New Year's Resolutions. I've accomplished 8 as of January 17, 2008.
1. I purchased another domain today (FREEfabSTUFF). Why? I need to create sites that will create income whether or not I'm blogging.
2. I finally downloaded the StumbleUpon toolbar. (Want to get stumbled? Add your best post to the comments and stumble this entry. I'll stumble every URL and will encourage others to the same!)
3. The sharebuilder account that I've been wanting to start, has finally been created today. I'll be giving regular updates on that. I chose to have regular investments made from my checking account.
4. Ebay has intimidated me long enough! Ebay acct. must be opened before 2/1.
5. I decided to continue particpating in sponsored blogging. Why should I let Google dictate how I make money? I'm not one of the bloggers that writes without researching a company or topic. The loss of income has been detrimental to my household. Adsense earnings cover my minivan payment every other month, but it's not the amount of money I earned from paid blogging. Did anyone see the wedding one of the Google founders had? The rented out TWO islands for the event! I don't think that paid blogging is bad across the board. Why not penalize the bloggers that don't make the effort? It's not hurting them that badly. Again, anyone see the media coverage of that luxurious wedding????
6. I took advantage of my email lists today. I sent an email to 2748 readers. Not bad, huh? I still have another 1000 to go. I don't know why I let things like that slide? It's great to have a large email list, even if it only increases your traffic. I will be using it on a weekly basis.
7. I decided to take JohnChow.com's advice. I opened a StumbleUpon advertiser account and I funded it. Will update!
8. I enrolled in budget billing (my electric bill). This will help in the way I plan my bills. No surprises when I open my electric/gas bill!
9. This month, I'm going to pay off my car insurance. That will free up an extra $293.00 a month for several months. This extra money will be put in the emergency fund.
10. I have decided to start a train for technorati favorties, delicious tags and stumbleupon exchanges! I finished the first one. Be sure to participate and increase your traffic.
What is the biggest problem I face with completing my goals?
I'm a perfectionist. This is why I procrastinate...a lot. The hardest thing for me is finishing something because I have the most difficult time sharing the end results. I'm very critical of my work. I have to constantly remind myself that "No one is perfect".
Now you know why I haven't updated this blog in two weeks. This post was written on January 9 and I'm publishing it on January 17!
Why?
I wanted it to be perfect. That's never going to happen, is it? So, I decided to just publish it.
What are my goals for this year?
1. I want to be succeed and teach others to do the same. No one has to be perfect,right?
1. I want to increase traffic to my sites.
2. I want to earn enough money from my sites to never have to depend on his child support. Before this year ends, I want to have the child support direct deposited into the kid's accounts.
Are my goals within my grasp?
Definitely.
I'll keep you updated on all the details!
