However I saw a post over at the Cow blog (John Cow dot Com) which reminded me the power of multiplication and AdSense.
Overall I am making around $10 a day through AdSense. If you take most AdSense users and a tonne of blogs, it averages out at around $1-2 per day you generally earn from these sites. Now, this seems tiny - but think about the possibilities if you create a network of over 100 blogs?
If you can get some decent content on these blogs, and set them up to either self generate (comments, forums, RSS feeds) to keep them self sufficient - you have a nice little earner. Obviously you don't want to have to manage such a large network, as the time factor makes the earn not really worthwhile.
I took this idea on board and decided to give my blogroll a facelift. Cleaning up the templates, optimizing for AdSense and some inter-linking and feed management. I hope to see a rise in CTR over the next few weeks, and I will be trying to add additional blogs as much as possible. End game to be earning at least a $100 a day from AdSense.

Busy last 24 hours
Marching hard into the New Year, I hit the Gym yesterday and took a free trial pass to get ready to sign up for 12 months.
It went well, I haven't been to the gym in 4 years - but a solid 40 minute cycle session had me feeling good and no after effects today!
Gym rates and facilities aren't too bad, I will have to spend $16NZ dollars a week to access the new gym (less than 6 months old) called City Fitness. Massive setup, hundreds of cardio and weight machines, indoor basketball court and class rooms as well as the sauna, tanning salons and huge shower and changing rooms with all the handy stuff.
Because the gym is so new, there is no faulty gear or run down areas - it looks good. Didn't seem crowded and I made sure I visited at the peak time to get a feel for this. Some nice eye candy there too! But overall, the general vibe from the other gym members was good. They were pretty welcoming. (I loved being able to watch TV on the plasma screens or listen to music vids while I worked out, that's always pretty cool)
Think I will sign up today.
I am keen to do more resistance / weight work this time, it seems in the past I have spent too much time on cardio and have fitness levels right up, but not the bodytone I have wanted. I find the classes quite good, boxing and weight class as being in a classroom environment you get pushed hard by the instructors. Much less chance of slackening off.
I want to work hard to keep this New Years resolution in addition to sending some of my websites into overdrive for 2008.
Busy Money Making Time!
On top of this, I have been invited by Smorty dot come to work on a private contract for one of their larger clients. After some test work and development it's full steam ahead and it really opens the door for much more revenue! It will easily start generating 4x the revenue currently coming into my coffers.
I have also engaged a developer from GetAFreeLancer.com to work on my NRL site. It's being ported across from Blogger.com to Wordpress with a great new template and things look bright for 2007. I really hope to have NRL into the top echelons at the end of 2008. The opportunity of selling this brand and site in the local sporting market really gets me excited! So
I look forward to plotting my successes here at 30 Day Man! Hope you've got things cracking in 2008 as well.
When redecorating goes international
Our lives are better when our wives are happy right? This is usually true! As myself and my wife settle into our new home in New Zealand, we are now looking to go furniture shopping to totally finish the interior of our place off.
While we did bring our Plasma TV, Entertainment Gear, Cooking Equipment and clothing over from Australia - we always planned on buying the furniture once we settled in and started working locally in New Zealand.
Boy, I had no idea the lengths my wife would go to, to secure top quality furniture! We have a look at several local outlets and found the range severely limited and quite pricey (nb: it's a real small town we are now living in here) but eventually, my wife found a site online and loved their range and prices.
I laughed, because the online store was based in North Carolina! However, at first I didn't know that they delivered internationally too. After explaining to my wife that shopping online for furniture was too difficult, she made me look again and I was surprised. GreatPricedFurniture dot come out of North Carolina had some of the best quality bedding and dining room furniture we had seen!
On top of shipping internationally, they had financing from GE Money and offered money back guarantees on all their stock. It seems the internet never fails to amaze me, we can now shop online for bulky furniture internationally and have it shipped to our door.
We're not deciding which items to buy, dining and lounge suites were high on the agenda, but i'm being convinced to now get some of the nice bedding suites from GPF too! Oh the internet, it can be oooooh so powerful.
"Love you sweety!" :)
New Years in your part of the world
New Years is always a time to be with and think of family and friends. As you make your goals and plans for the year ahead, if you can't be near home - chances are you'll think of your home!
This New Years Eve was my first spent outside of my home; Sydney, Australia.
Fortunately the internet and good old YouTube brought me right into the New Years action from home. Here's a video of what I think is one of the best fireworks displays from around the world during New Years - hosted on Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge forms the focal point for the whole state of New South Wales.
Check it out on embedded video below and see how it compares to your home New Years celebration! Enjoy 2008 guys.
The future of integrated websites
Here's a company and a website that I think has the integrated design to set the standard in 2008. The company is Netcars UK and unlike your standard tradingpost or buy cars online site, you get a real one stop shop type feel from the website.
Here is a site offering several services including car loans, car insurance and when you say to yourself I need to sell my car, this is the first online spot in Europe you would look to.
What really caught my attention at this site, and prompted me to predict a similar format from others in 2008 is the addition of a blog. Regularly publishing thoughts, tips and updates on motoring you get a trustworthy and reliable feel from such a service and of course you'll have the confidence to try their vast services on offer - something not many are doing in the market at present.
So whether it's used cars you're chasing down, a visit to their blog or maybe an additional service such as car data checking, number plates or reviews - motoring in the UK and Europe is leading the way online, through Netcars into 2008.
