As you can see I had a decent month but a few customers have not paid in full yet. While I wait for them to do that I have only added the amount they actually sent me (half) to my report and the other half will go to next month

So the grand total for this month comes to $1605 which is not bad! If the customers had paid in full then I would have nearly hit the $2,000.00 mark which would be really good considering we are so close to the holidays and such.

Hope you enjoyed your TD day and God Bless!

Today I am doing something a bit different, while this is primarily a mmo / blogtips blog I like to throw a little bit of inspirational posts in to get you guys thinking further then just blogging.

I want to ask all my readers what your thoughts and dreams are about? Do you think, dream and live blogging or do you have a bigger picture in mind?

Before we go any further I have another question for you. Do you think Bill Gates is satisfied being the richest man in the world or does he still want more out of life? It has always puzzled me how some people can have so much and still be so un-happy in life.

Just look at nearly any singer or movie star, do you know any of them that are actually happy with there lives? From what I have seen they don’t live like they are happy, maybe its because we all have missed something through our fast paced world?

Whatever the reason may be its a fact that people are un-happy with life, what they have and they always want more! I am not going to preach at you and tell you its wrong to want more because there is nothing wrong with wealth and pleasure in life but I do believe a balance is key!

Rather I want to talk about how some people seem to get the breaks, make it big and leave you in the dust like you don’t exist!

Sure I would love to be a multi billionaire but to be honest I would not want that at the risk of hurting my family or friends in anyway. People are much more important to me then money, im perfectly content living a normal life and going out to eat and seeing a couple movies every now and again.

However for some including myself at times it doesnt seem to be enough does it?

Well lets get right down to it, I have one thought to leave you with. This thought is what will make you successful and you will make it big if that’s your wish. Ready for it? Here we go…

If you want success no matter what type it is you only need to do 2 things.

1. Decide what you want as your ultimate goal, there will be smaller goals to accomplish along the way but what is your Ultimate Goal for success? Perhaps you want to be your own boss, own a shopping mall, run a candy shop?

2. Once you decide what you want you simply need to think and dream about it. Come up with a plan (even if its a terrible one) to get to your goal. Set savings goals do whatever it takes till your thoughts and dreams become reality. It will be tough work don’t get me wrong but I have done this myself many times and it pushes me to the limit and I always get there!

Here is my motto for life!

Work Hard, Play Hard, Live Hard- Shannon Lilly

Have you guys ever heard the saying “Catch A Thief Red Handed”? What exactly does that mean, how can it relate to blogging? Well.. Who knows… But I do have some interesting stuff to teach you today so stop reading this intro and get into the good stuff!

Today I want to talk about one great way to get more readers for your blog. I just recently re-did my subscribe section. It now draws a lot of attention and that’s a good thing. However I am also offering a ebook to everyone that signs up to my rss.

This is one of the ways I have gained nearly 50 new subscribers in just a few short days. People are always looking for what they get out of something.

I am still learning how this all works myself but from what I have seen giving away something gets people to subscribe more. You can give away anything really, ebooks, products, services, trades, really whatever you can think of.

However here is where most people mess up with this technique. They believe if they put up a free ebook they will instantly grab attention and get people to subscribe. While that is a great thought it doesn’t have anything to back it up.

Remember, even if you stick the ebook subscription up you still won’t get any subs, why? Because people still don’t know about your blog. This brings me to my next point, when you are going to give something to your readers make sure its useful.

I have seen many blogs give away trash ebooks to those that subscribe. Remember it only takes 1 bad apple to spoil the whole bunch! Make sure the thing your giving away has some value to it, if you can give them something they need and something they know other people need they will tell others about it and bamb you just started a chain re-action of signups.

Didn’t you always wonder why every top blogger gives away a free ebook to people who sign up? Its to keep them growing, if growth halts there is a problem. The internet grows constantly so why shouldn’t your blog and website?

So in the past I have talked about how important social bookmarking can be to your blog for traffic and also getting ranked on the search engines fast.

Well today I want to list my top 5 social websites that I like on the net. Granted these are not all the biggest but I love them because they work and don’t have a ton of spam in them which devalues each submission!

Here we go….

Digg.com - Although your not supposed to submit your own site the Digg people do it anyhow. However if you can get your readers to submit your posts to Digg regularly your well on your way to massive traffic and visitors that will signup!

Blurpalicious.com - My buddy owns this one and at PR4 its a great way to get power from the search engines! Try it out and see your site get indexed in about 1 hr from this social site!

Propeller - This is one of my favorites because its PR7 and I have gotten sites to pr5 and even a pr6 using this one site alone! Its all about how you and when you hit this one to get page rank benefits!

StumbleUpon - When it comes to getting traffic from a younger generation community you really cannot get any better then StumbleUpon!

YouTube - Although this is a video site its one of the easiest ways to get traffic from people because everyone loves videos! Try it out and see for yourself!

Here is a small video to seal the deal on this post! Be sure to comment!
