Automating Income

Hi all,

This is a brand-spanking new Blog that is intended for others like myself who are seriously interested in developing an income - or better yet, multiple streams of income for themselves - working from home using the Internet. This is intended for people who don't want to work for more than just a few hours a day and for whom the Internet symbolizes - amongst many other things - liberation from the traditional model of Work as something you do for eight hours every day Monday to Friday! I think an awful lot of us would like to get away - preferably for ever! - from such a life-sapping ethic of work and transform the portion of our lives that we unavoidably devote to making an income for ourselves into time that that can be creative, lucrative and - ideally - fun!

I have recently set up a website which houses material that I have bought into. (I'll give the URL presently) It has long seemed to me that the best option available to people like ourselves who are more interested in lifestyle and worthwhile income (as opposed to just owning a business for its own sake) is to seek out others who are already conspicuously successful at making money for themselves online and pay them whatever they are asking to have the right to duplicate their success. This is my business philosophy and is the mindset that will prevail on this web log! Please DO NOT read into that that it is okay to plagiarize the copyrighted materials of others! That is unethical and unlawful. But if - as I have done -you have forked over money in good faith to some Internet merchant to buy the right to use their system then it seems to me that everything is hunky-dory and that you shouldn't run into difficulties with, for example, the Google Adsense people - who I hope will be playing a significant part in the evolution of my own Internet kingdom!

I will check in here on a regular basis to give you updates on how my own endeavour to generate Internet income streams - note the plural! - for myself is coming along. If you share the business philosophy I mentioned and have similar aspirations yourself then you're very welcome to come back here and check this blog on a regular basis. In time what you should be seeing gradually develop is a step-by-step account of how a fledgling Internet entrepreneur wannabe converts his dreams into a practical reality!

Some background.

I would describe myself as quite computerate - a power user in fact - but I'm a newbie to Internet publishing of any kind. You won't find any irritating "your" when "you are" (you're) is meant anywhere in any text drafted by this author! I note that the spelling checker that this blog is being created in is Amerocentric in that it regards typically English spellings of certain words as being mistakes! Nevertheless I will pertinaciously persist with spelling certain words in the same way that I've always spelt them!( English correct is just as inherently correct as American conceptions of what is right in spelling.) I am the webmaster of a regional chess website in England (which was created by the work of another man and which I have simply taken over the running of as an already going concern) and know basically enough about HTML coding to be able to create links in documents that work but not a great deal more than that so you don't need to feel that I'm someone who is light-years ahead of you in his comprehension of Internet technicalities - I'm not!

After due research and exercise of discretion I have invested money in three prospective money-making Internet ventures that I like the look of and think can do the business. Each is a complete package in itself - allegedly! - and I will report back to you on what I find the actual practical realities to be.

A prerequisite for making money online with at least two of these is that you need to have a Google Adsense account - or something similar. About ten days ago I formally applied for one of these and after waiting the regulation 3 days for a verdict - accepted or rejected - was consternated to be told that my application had been rejected for the time being. I wasn't given a single specific reason for their turning me down - which would have been genuinely helpful and would have left me knowing exactly what I needed to change on my website in order to make it acceptable to them - but got instead a vague directive to 'review the guidelines' and subsequently spent 3 or 4 days trying to figure out which category my website had failed on. There were about 13 categories of unacceptable to Google Adsense content - several of which subdivided into minor clauses - and since my innocuous enough - or so I thought - website had displeased the evaluators I was left with no alternative but to surmise that presumably they felt that I was unscrupulously using others people's material; well, yes, but damn it I have paid to use this content! I'm not infringing anybody's copyright!!

Right, the web address of the website that I have bought a hosting domain for and intend to use in future to achieve great things financially - I hope! is:

www.automatingincome.com

Provided Google sanction it I hope to have Google Adsense ads on this website in due course.
I'll tell you more about where I got the content from and how you might like to benefit from it in a future posting. Stay tuned!
