  • Hello My greatest of sounding boards....

    I have had an idea to write a problogger style blog with the intention of showing jus how much hard labour it is to get your blog off the ground, earning you cash with a view to potentially putting figures on there, sort of a 20 minute a day project whilst passing on my knowledge......

    Now I know what I need to do to get it off the ground, but who would think it is a good idea? currently takings are virtually zero, so this would make it almost a perfect time to write about the growth into a (hopefully) internet marketing legend.

    evening NLID, fraid cant help you as i have no idea about Blogging, but if its only 20mins a day i would say give it a go, and it would certainly help the likes of me who are technically challenged!
    give you a laugh - you being into your cars, BIL, has a BMW Alpina (?) and had a bump so with it being a soft top roll bars came shooting out, phoned the insurance company and they wanted to send it to Arnold Clark for repair, needless to say he was not a happy bunny, flash git!

    NLID, think it's a great idea, I'd be interested and I could see it being popular. Are there any other sites like that out there?
    Mabel... snail gel! The kids have just been excitedly chasing a moth around the living room, the baby was particularly enjoying it, luckily she didn't realise when she accidentally stepped on it and I managed to remove the little body before anyone noticed. Now she's saying 'Gone!' with her hands upturned lol.
    Right, I've got one of those Hair Group vouchers for a cut and finish but I can't use the stupid thing as my nearest one's York (was hoping Hull, would have had a great day with my free burger and hair cut lol!) Does anyone live near one of the salons, and would you like it?
    Also, does anyone want to swap OHs? I just found a beard hair on the keyboard and it was a horrible experience, he's determined I will not put him off having this manky beard and I'm starting to wonder if it's grounds for divorce...xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    lol @flapping merkins :-) urgh snail gel and double urgh moths ! Nope dont want to swap coz if I get rid of mine I dont want another one in his place lol!

    Ever get the feeling its going to be one of those days..just smacked my head on the kitchen cupboard and then discovered that my lovely puppy has been happily chewing up my Animal flip flops (just coz the brand is Animal doesnt excuse it) I live in those sandals in the summer they are (were) just so comfy...aaarrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Going to have my breakfast and go to the library for some peace!
  • Paula, there are a lot of them out there, but very few give specifics of what they do in particular site or there earnings.

    My only concern is that if I am successful (A big if) then it may be down to people believing about the connections I have or me throwing money at the problem (The last thing I have to throw at it) and not through the hard work I put into it.

    Also anyone out there want to link to it when I put it live :lol:

Once I have a clearer vision in my head I will divulge more but I am aiming for a big wide, predom female, audience. I have high hopes :D so any help from your blog would be wonderful - and I am expecting to have to put some work in lol! I was up till after 1am this morning working on the logo for it......haven't been to have a look in daylight yet as dreading I'l hate it lol!

    Mabel I just googled 'my name'PR and the 6th listing was one of my mentions of you lol! Have you found things to do today...if not I had a thought for a bit of research/marketing for you....
