Can Blogging Become a Steady Side Income?
Posted by junger - 08/06/06 at 01:08:50 amThe problem I've always encountered when trying to make a decent amount of side income from blogging is the time commitment. When you work a full-time job at a computer, in a cubicle, the last thing you want to do when you get home is to sit back down at the computer.
But as I work during the day, the only time to put out good content is either
- at night, after a long day of work

5 Steps to a Professional Blog Site
Posted by junger - 08/05/06 at 11:08:06 pmI consider myself an "ideas man." I often come up with great ideas but don't necessarily know the best way to execute on them.

10 Tips to Retain Visitors from a Digg, del.icio.us, Slashdot Traffic Boost

The feeling is great — traffic goes through the roof (probably so much that your server goes down), comments (and flames) come in hoards and your RSS subscriber feed jumps big time.
But if you aren't prepared for that day, then a one-to-two day traffic boost will be just that. Now, obviously you will not continue to get record numbers from one or two main sources for an extended period of time, but you can keep some of those visitors around. You just have to make them want to stay.
