30 day guide – suspended because…..

October 26th, 2008 | 5 Comments | Posted in 30 Day Website Network, Overview, Rambling, Tutorials

O.K. it’s been weeks since I’ve added new days to the 30 day guide – and to be honest I just don’t know what else to add.

I’ve covered the basics and anything else I do is going to require you to have some programming knowledge and only a small portion of our readers seem to be learning how to program.

I’d planned on doing some more research posts but those are ALL over the place.  I’ve been pretty straight up with my research methods and  I do use wordze (just search on here for all the research posts).  I don’t have any secret methods that you can’t find just by doing.

Now – I’m not done posting by any stretch.  If your familiar with the “black hat” blogging crowd many of them disapear after making 20 or 30 posts — mainly because you can only say the same thing so many times :)

However, I’m not going anywhere. I support my members and clients here by teaching them things – and I know they read it (yes I’m watching you).  If you just found this site out of the blue – merry christmas.

Do the 18 day guide :) – Enjoy and rinse, wash, and repeat.  Be warned though – that there are over 100 posts on this blog that never went into the guide – we’d really be the 100 day guide if I had made each post a day.

Why I’m doing this…

December 11th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Overview

I’m a pretty busy guy.  On top of running Stmadeveloper I have 4 kids, and fifth one I call my “WIFE”.  That means that unlike many people who program and do the work I do I don’t get to put in 20 hour days very often.

I have a little help. Eric Gehler is my partner and is a organizing mastermind.  He also deals with the budgets, content, etc… All the stuff that I just don’t have the inclination to do.  It works out pretty well, and we’ve been doing this for a long time now.

I’ve decided that it’s time to start teaching what I do for a living, and to help some of you realize that “BLACK HAT” isn’t so evil after all.   I’m also going to blow the notion that you have to be an “expert” or be unethical to make a living online out of the gate.   So many people think that you have to make a thousand trillion dollars as you come barging out the gate.. it doesn’t work that way.  You first make a dollar a day, then 3 , then 10, then 20, then 40, then 90, then 120, etc…

It adds up, but the secret is simple. You keep building, keep growing, and don’t stop to long to think :) .  Thinking can be the death of you – ask my wife why I’m so healthy and she will tell you I’m to stupid for bacteria :)

I’m also going to tie my hands behind my back…. literally.  I’m starting from absolute scratch, with out the help of my existing network.   No secrets, and nothing you can’t do yourself.  I’m giving myself a budget of only 500 dollars.  (I’ll keep track as we go along).  I’ll probably burn through that 500 dollars pretty fast but I’ll be making money as I do it.

I’ll also limit the amount of custom programming I  do, and make whatever I do available through Niche Site Special 2.

The good news for you is that I can only spend a limited amount of time on this everyday. I have my other commitements and can’t let them falter behind.  You probably have 30 times more free time than I do…  YOU SHOULD MAKE MORE MONEY THAN I DO…. or you just aren’t applying yourself.

Want to show the world what your up to?  Want to write for this blog along side me?  I’ll make you your own category and you can catalog what you are doing.  You won’t make any money but you might find that having the world watching you is going to help you keep up the pace.
