Fellow Vancouver-ite John Chow has released his blog report ... inspirational.

Initially starting off at $350 per month, John now enjoys a new record of $32,500+ for the previous month.

Here is his income report ...

Here's his key:

The key to making money online is to drive a lot of traffic and then maximize the income from that traffic.

That's a mortgage payment and then some.

I have recently started my own little blog ramblings called Affiliate Money Tools to help beginners with affiliate marketing and making money on the Internet.

I've been at this over 10+ years, so why not share some joy.

Enjoy the 40K John, I'm right behind you.

I was asked today why people have blogs or write on blogs?

Good question.

Some write about their day, some write about their products, some use blogs to promote their services, some like to rant about other peoples' blogs and such.

Some have blogs to make money.

Some people think they need a blog, when in effect they may need a different solution: i.e., article site, well written website, CMS system etc.

Do we all need to be blogging?

Probably not, but then again you decide.

The most common complaint I hear is the time it takes to write a blog ....

Happy Monday

I am actually very impressed with a Microsoft product called Live Writer.

My expectations were "yeah yeah, this will work with MS products only" or "I highly doubt it will work with Blogger or WordPress"

Lo an behold this post is being generated by Live Writer.

Simple and easy to use

Some cool things: draft posts offline, set-up FTP image locations, spell checking, preview formatting, various plugins and more. Even has a tag and map insert-er

Here's an example of the Vancouver Convention Center

very cool

 

Download Link ...

Over time, it definitely will. Blog by e-mail, blog from your PDA or cell phone, blog online or even blog from a 3rd party application.

I've tried Qumana in the past, kudos the Vancouver based company for developing such a nice product. Never really did get in to their ad posting system though. I'm it has great merit.

The Beta Zoundry Raven application caught my attention recently. Why it can manage your blogger 'blogspot' accounts. Hey ... it can also manage all of your hosted Wordpress sites. It doesn't stop there, various blogging platforms are support it. So why not try it out and see where it takes us.

Hey, wait a minute, it also supports the various tags from popular sites like Technorati, Del.ic.ous, Flikr and more ... very cool indeed.

Images and media?

No problems there. Ties in nicely with Picasa, ImageShack and more.

The whole point of search out a decent blog editor is simplicity.


You get an idea, why go through the process of getting to the site, logging in (in you can remember all your passwords), fiddling around with the tags, wondering if you have the lastest plugins installed and more.


Open up the Raven application and off you go!

Happy blogging!
