My First MMO Failure
I was reading a post over at TUK today where he was talking about a recent failure he had. I decided to post my making money online failure too so you see that I too am trying and sometime fail and to keep you from making my same mistake.
When I started out with my blog, I was really hell bent on helping people make money online. Notably single mothers and fathers and people trying to make it through college on their own working crap jobs to pay the bills.
At that time I had never heard of John Chow, Problogger or Shoemoney… Actually my first MMO read was JohnCow.com and I thought I could do better than they did for teaching people how to make money.
$7,500 in 2 Months
A few days ago one of my favorite blogs posted an article on how to make $7,500 in 2 months with a new method he had found. Well, of course I jumped on the chance to learn this new technique. Catch is, you have to do a little dance and make a little love to get in on it.
The article will be posted on the 12th of August and will be passworded. In order to get the password you need to do one of three things.
1. Create a post and use his link on your blog.
2. Post 5 of his links on dofollow blogs or forums.
3. Invite 3 people to subscribe to his rss emails and have them comment on the post.
Head on over there and check it out… and stay subscribed because he tells it like it is. No MMO Blog bullcrap!

Invoicing Made Easy
I found this great invoice service via Lifehacker today and had to share it with you. Curdbee allows you to create and send your customers invoices with Paypal or Google Checkout embedded with your account info so you can easily accept payments without any hassles.
What is great about this service is it is totally free. Yes, I said totally free !
The Curdbee dashboard allows you to track sent, overdue and draft invoices as well as easily create new ones with just a few clicks.
This is an example invoice I created . Feel free to use the paypal link to pay the invoice if you wish. :)
I plan on using this service for invoicing clients I flip sites to. This is a great service for just that type of job.
Feel free to try it out at www.curdbee.com
