I'd love to hear about the 'X Website' business you've got going on as I'm sure would most of your readers. Get to it, chop, chop lol :) Richard Hey Dan,

great post. I’d love to hear about the ‘X Website’ business you’ve got going on as I’m sure would most of your readers.

Get to it, chop, chop lol :)

I work full time online, doing things that I enjoy - creating websites, technical support, posting on forums, creating products. Unfortunately there is only so much you can do in a day :-) Thanks for the comments everyone!

You will never achieve the full potential of your otherwise nice blog with such a mindset, and don't get me wrong, but you MUST take this to heart if you're going to enjoy the time you spend in front of your computer. Becoming self-employed if one isn't doing what one truly likes to do is just as much slavery as would be a nine-to-five job doing something you equally dislike. Bear that in mind, and 2008 could become the beginning of MANY good years ahead of you. :-) -- Sincere regards Henrik Blunck <a href="http://www.tjenfritid.dk" rel="nofollow">www.tjenfritid.dk</a> <a href="http://www.tjenfritid.dk" rel="nofollow">Earning Money Online Blog</a> Hi Dan

I have a couple of websites that don't get many hits and don't make much money, so I may have to check that out. In 2008 I plan to make some new websites as well, and hopefully improve the ones I already have. For anyone wondering I currently have 2 sites. The first is my "home" page and includes links to all my sites and stores, plus some other great links and a search box. It actually makes a really great "home page" for your computer (by that I mean you can set it to come up when you launch your browser) because you can link to almost anything from www.admpire.com. I also have been working on a new site: www.wanderlustinfo.com. This is pretty new still but there is a free sign up which will give you 5 free ebooks about travel (with resale), a free report, and weekly emails with FREE content... Okay I know this is starting to sound like an ad right now so I'll stop... I'm just excited that someone asked ME about my plans for 2008 instead of just telling me theirs. Anyway, thanks and keep me posted on your new products as well! Website X sounds pretty cool.

You forgot to put on your "busy" schedule the time you spend being a moderator. You are always there for great advice. Plans for 2008: Promote, promote, promote. Launching my parenting book was very difficult since I started with zero tech or IM knowledge in Oct. However, it is "live" now. My next task is drive traffic. Helping with a "therapy" blog launch. Working on a couple of other ideas (more to come later) -- one in IM and one in niche markets. Is this fun yet? Really learning has been fun. I know that when I am able to do some "teaching" I will really be in my element. A successful 2008 to everyone. Thanks for something to look forward to in 2008.

Plans for 2008:

Promote, promote, promote. Launching my parenting book was very difficult since I started with zero tech or IM knowledge in Oct. However, it is “live” now. My next task is drive traffic.

Helping with a “therapy” blog launch.

Working on a couple of other ideas (more to come later) — one in IM and one in niche markets. Is this fun yet? Really learning has been fun. I know that when I am able to do some “teaching” I will really be in my element.

A successful 2008 to everyone.

Glad you like the sound of "x", I can't put a date or anything for release, simply because I haven't created it yet, and to be purely selfish I want to get some more of my own "x" sites up and running before I do it :-) @ Grumpy Chef The software doesn't collect email addresses. The software wraps products, and then directs the user to an existing opt-in page, that is created using your current auto-responder/mailing list software such as Aweber, GetResponse etc. So I'm not sure what your friend is using, but it is definatly not the BLB software, there is no function within it that can make it send out emails, or store the data of users that unlock items that have been wrapped using it.

Oh well never mind - I'm sure I'll think of something eventually :) As for webite x --- Brilliant mate... great marketing strategy... get everyone curious and wanting to know more.... build some buzz .... gradually release more info etc.... But to be frank - You are a genuine guy - so if you just said "Here's a product I've created that shows me building a site that brings in $100) a month!" --- We'd all be very interested in seeing it :) (and provided it's not a 28hour a day task to run or requires a phd in techy ability - I'm sure many would love to get some built) To Answer Grumpy ... (you do get around these days don't you Chef ;) - And I see another year passing hasn't changed your outlook on life.... LOL) With BLB - it gets people to subscribe to your list, and build it for you .... therefore they double optin to receive your messages, and hence - it's not spam. I have no idea how your friend uses it to send out unsolicited emails??? I can only assume either she is mixed up with some other software --- or she couldn't be bothered (or doesn't understand) explaining how it works properly.. Do take a look at Dan's site, I'm sure he'll post a link to some videos to clarify it for you. Looking forward to hearing more about 'x' - and then I'll say nasty things about you for not telling us sooner ;) Warm Regards Randy http://www.SalesLetterABC.com Hi Dan,

LOL None of them will ever come to fruition. Secondly, and more importantly. I don't use the Boomerang thing because a friend of mine told me she uses it and really it's just a way to send out unsolicited emails to people that are NOT signed up to her list. Isn't this called "spam". I'd like to know because, if it does turn out to be legal, I would use it. grumpy Hi,
