Making money with a website can be a bit of a challenge. This one relies on two methods to garner income. One being Google Ads and the other being PayPal donations. So far the donations are a bit on the light side. To be more exact it's the point that divides negative from positive, referred to as zip, zilch, zero in most languages. Donations aren't that brisk for the moment but with the right cause it could prove profitable.

The Google Ads do work but to make a living solely from them would require some pretty substantial traffic. That's the tricky part, especially trying to do it with nothing but time as an investment. A couple of thousand page hits a day would likely be worth in the neighbourhood of $300 a month using nothing but Google Ads for revenue - a start. Near as I can tell you need current content, something to sell, freebies, up-sells, skin, or any combination of same. That's where it's looking like I need to go with FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL and PHP. The way I have things set up at the moment is kind of shakey but I've learned a ton in getting it to where it is. If this is ever going to sustain me it's going to need an overhaul soon - real soon - like before I starve to death.

Therein lies my biggest problem. No one understands that sitting in front of a computer all day isn't a waste of time. Well it is if you play FreeCell or porn surf or surf surf or chat with friends or things like that. The fact of the matter is, I don't!

Anyhow..., I know I'm close to earning a living at this except that I'm not quite there yet. Stay tuned though, it's going to be a big day when I donate 10% of my first $10,000,000 and give it away.

Check back regularly, no telling what little nugget of gnarled knowledge or whimsical wisdom you're going to unearth here but it could be an 'entrepenurial nugget' the brightest of all such nuggets.
