Hey everyone!! I recently wrote my first piece on the idea of “Looking at the Big Picture,” and how to use the concept to live a better life. It was an overwhelming success, especially considering how new my blog is, and thus I present to you part 2: a compelling argument as to why you should always do the right thing. This will most certainly be the shortest of any of my articles on the topic, but it is important nonetheless.

Always doing the right thing goes hand in hand with looking at the big picture, and in reality, you can’t have one without the other. There are a myriad of reasons as to WHY you should do whats right, but truth be told, the best reason is simply for the well being of others.

Some may argue that this sounds a bit unrealistic, after all, I did say that whole purpose of looking at the big picture was for YOU to live a happier and stress free life. So what’s with this look out for others business you might ask? Please read on so that you can learn!

You know that good feeling when you’ve accomplished something? You’ve been working on a major project, or task around the house, put a lot of effort into it, and now its DONE! We all know this feeling - the feeling of achievement and success. Now think if you felt that on a daily basis, wouldn’t that be something!

That’s where doing the right thing comes into play. You don’t have to help cure cancer, or stop world hunger, or even save a species from extinction (it would be nice though lol), but something as small as helping someone that’s lost find their way, or helping that old lady across the street (very 70’s I know), can give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside to make a gloomy day that much brighter.

Starting today, November 25th, 2008, I will be running monthly contests for the top commentators! The idea behind the contest is to build up a loyal reader base, and to draw people in to read and comment about the interesting topics that I write about in my blog. What better way to do this than to offer you all an incentive to check my blog out!!

The rules are simple: just post good comments, that are relevant, with no comment spam. In exchange, not only will you get a chance to win some much needed cash, but you will receive free exposure in my sidebar for being among the top 10 commentators, but you will be building street credit with me and my other readers. This is a win win situation people!!

I will be running a similar contest each month, and I will be gradually increasing the stakes, and adding to the prizes available! This month, I will be paying $100 to the top commentator, $50 to the second place, and $25 to the third place! This will give you all an incentive to keep on commentating until the bitter end. The contest will end December 30th, as the 31st is New Years Eve, and frankly, I want to get out there and celebrate! Don’t forget that I will be deleting all spam comments - SO NO SPAM. In the mean time, let’s hear what you have to say, and I’ll see you at the finish line!

Hello to my loyal readers! Today marks an important day in the life of this blog. Today is the day that I introduce you all to a few simple concepts that I used to not only change the way I look at my life, but how I live it as well.

In my “new life” philosophy, I came up with three general concepts, two of which stem from the first one. These ideas aren’t anything complicated, but they are something that I’ve found that a lot of people fail to see in their daily lives. By being able to realize these ideas and put them into practice, I’ve been able to completely change my way of life, and turn my life around by eliminating almost all of the negative influences that were bringing me down.

Anyways, enough of the preamble - I’m sure you’re all wondering what these three main principles are. I’m going to take this first post to simply list all three, and discuss them in detail later. The first and most important idea, as the title of the first installment states, is to “Always Look at the Big Picture.” The second idea is to “Always Do the Right Thing,” and the third is to “Never Forget Where You Came From.” This time around, I’m going to discuss looking at the big picture, as the other two ideas stem from this point.

In the previous installment, Make Money with a Blog for Dummies: Part 1, I discussed all the basics of getting your blog setup, including all the plugins you’ll need, as well as making it stand out from the others with a free downloadable theme. As I previously mentioned, I am seeking to simplify the book by John Chow, as I myself found some parts a bit confusing for a beginner blogger.

I give all credit to John where it is due, and I will simply seek to get to the meat of the book so that someone can get setup and running as quickly as possible. I will also continue to add my own information where I have found it to be useful.

Alright! Now that you’re blog is all setup, and you’ve hopefully got a few posts up, its time to add a few money makers to your pages. You don’t want to go overboard from the beginning, as too many ads is a bad thing, and you want to keep your readers coming back, not drive them away. In the following section, I will detail the Recommended Money Makers for the beginner blogger.

The book by John Chow details 9 different ideas of where to start to begin generating ad revenue. I found that if you were to put all of these into effect on your blog, it would simply be too much. As your blog expands, you should gradually make use of these ad networks on your blog. For the beginner blogger, there are three good ad networks I suggest you sign up to first.

Hello everyone!! If you’re reading this post, you, like me are interested how you can make money online using nothing more than your blog. I first heard about this idea from John Chow, owner of the blog www.johnchow.com, on G4 tech TV. After watching the piece, I thought that it seemed easy enough, and went to his website to learn more about how you could turn something as simple as a blog into a money maker.

On John’s website, he has a free e-book that he wrote for the beginner blogger. While it is an excellent read, some parts can be confusing, and might apply more to that advanced blogger. It is my goal that by using this multi-part series, I will be able to take the best information from John’s book, condense it for simplicity, and add to it, so that you too can make money with your blog like John Chow. I give John Chow all the credit that he is due for coming up with the original, and I only seek to improve upon what the master has laid out.

He starts off by saying that to achieve anything, you must set yourself a goal and a time frame to achieve that goal in. By having a time frame, you will put pressure on yourself to achieve that goal as opposed to constantly putting it off, in which case your goal will never be realized. If you’re not willing to commit to something, don’t even bother trying to start it!

Now the next thing he gets into is his top money makers. In my opinion, I think it’s important to point out a few basic things that you need before you even think about monetizing your blog.

THE BASICS

As most of the world is currently aware, we’re currently in what the popular media is calling a global recession. Huge corporations such as Bear Stearns have gone bankrupt, while others such as the big three US automakers, Ford, Chrysler and GM are struggling to stay afloat. Layoffs are reaching record highs, and RRSP and 401k values are plummeting.

Although many would argue that it is not yet a safe time to jump back into equity markets, others such as Warren Buffet, most recently quoted as saying “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful,” have been buying up big name companies that have been significantly devalued due to the ongoing global sell of of the stock markets.

Hey everyone!! I just finished playinggears of war 2 and let me tell you - it is EVERYTHING it is cracked up to be. I simply couldn’t believe how good this game really was. From the graphics, to the story line, to the game play - EVERYTHING was an improvement over the previous game. The game starts you off in the City of Jacinto, from which you have to fight your various levels, each with its’ own assortment of the local Grub population. The AI is a lot smarter this time around too, so watch out if you thought you were in for an easy ride!!

Now the fun doesn’t stop there - once you’ve battled through to the very end of this long awaited game, you’ve got numerous multiplayer options to explore. These options range from unique options such as 5 teams of 2 where its up to you and your partner to beat the rest of the pack, to straight up every man for himself death match thats bound to take you to the limits of your gaming capabilities.
