I might hold off on selling this domain and blog just now as it kind of flows into another project I have going on. I was only getting offers of around $3000 anyway, half of what WebsiteOutlook.com reported it’s worth at. I do know that I do not want to be just another MMO blog. There is already too many as is and most of them just plain suck! One of the only ones that I have found to be really useful is TheUniversityKid.com , so go check him out.

As for the domain, I just registered CROMediaGroup.com for a parent company called what? You got it, CRO Media Group (CRO = Creating Revenue Online) in which I will put all of my online ventures under. I just got the DBA (Business License) and will be opening a bank account for it soon enough.

Among those online ventures is my Craigslist company in which I have 2 employees, CreatingRevenueOnline.com, my blog and site flipping ventures and my newest blog I am working on, ThemeMyCell.com which will be providing themes for iPhones, Blackberry’s and Windows Mobile devices . I have 3 employees with that project working on themes that will be released daily very soon.

I might just turn this blog into an info blog about those programs. All with the exception of the Craigslist deal. I don’t want it to get flooded and put me out of business there.

I will be posting some good stuff on here in the future. So don’t go anywhere.

I am contemplating selling this blog as I am seriously understaffed and busy as can be with other projects. I wanted to post it on here first before putting it on DigitalPoint and SitePoint in the next week or so to give my readers a chance to purchase it first.

With some time, energy and marketing (paid advertising and contests) this blog could really turn a profit and bring in some traffic.

Use the contact form at www.creatingrevenueonline.com/contact if you are interested in purchasing it or have any questions about the sale.

I moved back to Houston 3 days before Hurricane Ike hit and I have to tell you, it was one hell of a storm! I live right off the water near Seabrook and Kemah and it was hit the hardest. We just now got power and internet back but the area is still 30/70 on available power and water.

It is actually like medieval days out there… food and fuel shortages, contaminated water and darkness half the time with no A/C. It is really aweful! I am thinking of going back to the mountains and just live there. None of this dual home crap.

I have a lot of work to do here in Houston but I should be getting back to a normal posting schedule here soon.

When you first start a blog you have notepads full of article ideas all about stuff you are really passionate about, but then as time goes on and you’ve wasted through the list, you find yourself stumped on what to write about next.

Everyone with a successful blog can tell you that if you don’t keep a posting schedule and you fall behind, your blog will fail. So what do you do when you run out of ideas for articles?

My favorite method for coming up with ideas is from RSS feeds. I use Google Reader and have about 60 rss feeds that I get daily from all kinds of niches. Sites like Geekologie.com , LifeHacker.com and other tech sites often crawl RSS feeds to find articles for their sites. There’s nothing like stealing your content from other sites I tell ya!

We totaled 1,127 Unique Visitors with 512 Return Visits in August. We actually did good this month with only real traffic. Only 1 hit was recorded from StumbleUpon and 4 from Digg. Entrecard gave me about 99 hits between Entrecard users and cards placed on other blogs so most of the traffic was real visits.

My income for August was $391.31

Affiliate Referrals: $268.50
Google AdSense: $22.52
Kontera Ads: $0.29
Private Ad Sales: $100.00
Paid Reviews: $0.00
Total Revenue: $391.31

I suffered a little bit this month on affiliate referrals because I haven’t been posting my BANS updates and revenue reports as of late. To tell you the truth, I have been focusing on flipping websites, working Craigslist and working on my LayawayGuns.com startup. BANS and Hostgator affiliate sales are where I make the most money from.
