Thought of the Day- Road to Monitization

 




Working for them ad dollars


I stated this blog with no real idea with what I wanted to do with and even now, not really sure what content I want to put out here. Maybe experiment some more with this very loose formatting, such as this, then mix in some educational pieces on topics I've learned about recently, maybe do more review stuff like the Robinhood review here but not really as much of a hard push to refer people to use their service. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a good piece. I put a lot of work into it to try to make a balanced case and educate on certain topics to get more people to use the app and get me free stocks.

This leads to the next point. My one persistent motivator is, unfortunately, the dollar. Dollars motivate me to get out of bed because a job pays me to be there and do stuff. Dollars motivate me to watch investment content, legit educational stuff not "make a million tonight" type stuff, so I can try to invest well to make more dollars. I believe, when it is ready, I'll try out AdSense to monetize the content. This will inevitably lead me to work on making more content to try to make more dollars. This should be a double win. 

I need motivation and focus to drown out the noise in my mind. The busy, distracted nature of my mind detracts from the good ideas I have but haven't articulated. A little extrinsic value attached to writing up stuff should help make it easier to clear up space. Plus side for someone who like my off the wall writing, AdSense requires a lot of content before you get approved. You guys have a lot to look forward to before annoying ads show up.

Bringing it all around

It won't be tomorrow this happens but I wanted to bring up my reasoning for wanting ad revenue. A fricking penny excites me when it's "free" and honestly, content creation feels like "free" pennies even though it isn't. I want to get to where this naturally nags me to come back and make stuff. I want a creative outlet and not let it melt into nothing for no other reason than I "got busy".

Thought of the Day- Going “Green”

Seriously Considering Solar So recently, I’ve been bs-ing around with the idea of doing solar at my house. Now this is just a consideration but I’ve found some of the reasons to be compelling though there are some drawbacks. As I see it, there are the pros and cons. And I’m not really sold on it yet but I figured writing out what I’m thinking may clarify some things. Pros The way I see it, solar has some upside with the right circumstances.  First, electric bills being reduced would be nice. Maybe take that savings and do some work with it like renovations or something to that effect. Second, if we reduce our energy consumption enough and the local utility has a way to do it, selling electricity wholesale to the grid could bring with it some additional income. Income producing assets are a really attractive offer to me. I like the flexibility having recurring income brings and its part of my investment objectives long term. These 2, provided of course our provider does have a buyba...

Thought of the Day- Trying something new

Image
 Here goes... something. After falling into a rut in most aspects of my life( in my job, in my daily routine, my weekends, even down to sleeping is just another thing instead of what I really enjoyed most after a hard day’s work, no real social life because frick all the people) I have come to think I need a change.  I’ve just felt super disengaged at work, at home, in the few relationships I do have and with my side work. I haven’t decided concretely on what the change is that I need but one is needed.  There are a number of things, big and small I’m trying out. To start, I tried applying to several new jobs, moved my floundering WordPress blog over to Blogger because for some reason I do much better with it, I’ve started try to stay up later or go to bed earlier, tried new hobbies, changed up my investments. This has been... somewhat helpful. It feels like a good starting point. One thing I’ve decided to try out is daily posting. If I like it, I’ll keep doing it. If not...

Thought of the Day- Doing Something *Rant Alert*

I hate my job. Most people, from what I've heard, share this sentiment to one degree or another. More than anything, I hate that I go to work and do a job, make ok money, come home so wrecked I don't want to "get in the grindset" and go to bed. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum and then every month I look at where I'm at, where we are at, and we are maybe, if it all went right, 0.1% ahead of where we were. What the fuck?  This is beyond frustrating seeing the same shit pop up and falling the same hole we have to dig out of that never seems to get any easier or any smaller. I KNOW some the problems and I accept that it's all my fault. I'm about as pissed at myself for taking so long to get to the point I'm now ready and 110% about to do something about it.  I had a really easy job for 6 years. Working as a manager for a pet store. Easy mode. It was comfortable. I wanted out a few times but stayed because it was just a little better or a little more certain th...
