Its been two years that we’ve been based in Perth, two years since I got my partner to agree to support me while I developed my online passive income business – he asked how long – I said Christmas… In fact this was the blog post on my long-defunct blog of the time: I think [...]

Categories: Blogging, Making Money Online, Marketing, Online Business, Passive Income

OK this is a bit of a follow up on my recent post on clueless bloggers.  It probably reflects that I’ve been spending too much time on the HubPages forums recently too and I have decided that online there is a single reason why most people don’t make money online, and why online income remains [...]

Categories: Feature, Passive Income

The title of this post is a quote from a question which was posed by an new writer over at hubpages – the question was naive – the questioner probably actually wanted to know how to make money online, or even how to make passive income online,  not with the specific Adsense program.

HubPages is NOT a Waste of Time!

Written by Lis on October 17, 2008 - 6 Comments
Categories: HubPages, Online Business

The comment came up again on HubPages where I was told again that I was basically wasting my time publishing there.

RevResponse – A different Type fo Affiliate

Written by Lis on July 28, 2008 - 3 Comments
Categories: Affiliate Marketing

I have a confession – I am not very good as an affiliate marketer. For one I won’t promote anything I don’t actually use myself – and for two most of the stuff I use is free – so no commission – like Q10 Retro Text Editor. So its taken me a while to check [...]

So Why this Blog?

Written by Lis on April 2, 2008 - 0 Comments
Categories: Making Money Online, Marketing, Online Business, Rants

One of the common methods of assessment at university is to get students to keep a “learning journal” – I hated the dammed things – used to write the thing at the end of semester after the fact. It was good idea used inappropriately. I find as I try to learn this bizarre world of [...]
