STOP. Read this.
Today marks an important day in my blogging life. I started a blog for two reasons. In order, I want to: 1.) Make money, 2.) Talk about my life and have people listen. Note, these are in order, and that is important. So today is the day that I realized, I want to go BIG or quit.
If I can’t make money with this blog, fuck it. I’d rather watch some shitty, forgettable tv show. Making money with a blog is pretty damn tough, I’ve been reading quite a few “real life, how I made money with my blog” blogs and that is the consensus. But it is possible, and I can attain it if I so choose, but how I’ve been going about it has been wrong to this point.
I’ve had a blog for 5 days short of one month, and I’ve learned so much in that time. I can honestly say I know 50 times as much about running a web page as I did not even a month ago. In this way it’s been a huge success, and I’m glad I did it. But the problem is I’m nowhere even remotely fucking close to attaining point #1, making money. From day one until today, I’ve made a grand total of 54 cents. Yeah. Exactly. So what are you guessing I’m saying by telling you all this? Here it is.
I declare this blog that you are reading right now, this newly antiquated one, “Life of Jeremy v1.0″ I’m going to update it as often as I damn well want (never sooner), and I’m not going to give a FUCK about how much I make with it. I’m doing this blog from this day forward as a way for my friends to keep up with me and for me to talk about whatever I want, nothing else. This will fulfill Reason #2 above. But I’m working on a bigger better version…
I will deem this (inside joke style) Life of Jeremy v2.0. Completely new layout, SEO optimized, money making motherfucker of a Life of Jeremy blog! I’m switching over to a new platform (Wordpress for those who know about this kind of shit) which is both way better and way more complicated to learn, but hey, I do my best work when challenged.
I’d fill in more details, but I’m tired as hell right now, and am feeling the irresistible pull of my bed, but I’ll fill you few buy mighty followers in sometime soon. If I feel like it…
