Gas Money
Since I am still very new to this whole web monetization thing, I am still at the low rung when it comes to revenue streams. Meaning, I depend on the “pond scum” of niches to milk all the adsense and CPA income I can out of things like Myspace resource sites, Flash Arcade sites and even a Proxy for good measure. Mostly the type of sites that come as free or cheap scripts and that “real” gurus roll their sun deprived eyes at. Don’t get me wrong, when I say “milk” I mean I am still suckling the nipple to get every little drop I can just to get by. I am too much of a noob still to be ashamed (and who in the world could ever be ashamed of nipples?).
I know there are many people making huge amounts in the above mentioned areas of the net but I am just barely getting started in even that. If I have studied correctly, my next steps are supposed to be celeb fan sites, wannabe affiliate marketing attempts and a blog without any real focus and only useful for the author himself. Read more
Driven and dumb
I like the domain I am using to chronicle my learning process. It just fits as I have been wanting to make a living online for as long as journalist have been writing stories about punk kids making tens of thousands a month in between video games at home. I love the idea of being able to create something that others will hopefully get some use out of and if not, then at least help me make a little coin for the thought
.
So, DotDriven describes me now. All the silly play with the name shows my cheesiness and even I roll my eyes at it many times*. Yeah, sometimes I think I am clever but it’s almost always in a humble way
. I assume one day I will have to grow up a bit more with my online presence and get rid of all the cheesy puns but until then, buckle your seatbelts kiddos, we’re in for a ride!
* Author accepts no fault for lack of humor of readers. Author enjoys the constant dripping of sarcasm that often times does not translate digitally and therefore warns readers that cheesiness and sarcasm help make the day more enjoyable for most involved.
