Earning Money

When I first bought the domain name, DormEarning.com, I had intended on creating a static content site, putting up as many ideas as I could think up in a few days and then flip the site.  I had all the intentions of making a few hundred bucks and then calling it a day.  Not sure what happened, but instead, I created a blog and it became one of my favorite blogs.  I own other ones, but this is one that I can say that I have written most on and if you look, it’s really true.  I have written over two hundred posts since starting and I have received over two hundred comments.  The comments are not much, but each one, to me, is amazing!

So, I was thinking to myself what I could do to give back to my readers and I was really trying to think and the truth is, I am still thinking.  But, what I did want to do is ask you what you would like to see.  I know that I write about blogging and saving money and how to promote your blog and all of these things, but what do you want to see?  I have talked to some readers and I have some plans to write about things they have requested, but if you have never e-mailed me (and you are welcome to, I’m always looking to make new contacts), then maybe you would like to see something.

I write about what I know, but I am a firm believer that you should always look to broaden your horizons and learn MORE.  That is why I am asking.  Leave a comment, let me know what you want to see on the blog.  And if I can, I will try and implement it.  So, here is to another two hundred posts and another two hundred after that.  Since April, I have been writing and I can’t wait for the one year mark.  Maybe I’ll have a surprise for my readers, who knows?  So, thanks for a fun two hundred posts and let’s keep making the money!

For those that are not from America, this post probably does not mean much, but for those that ARE from America, I just wanted to express my wishes for you all and I hope that you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. And for those that are not, go ahead and have a turkey and pretend it’s Thanksgiving. I think that’s one of the big things that people forget to do. I think they forget to thank. Hell, I forget to thank all the time. Let me give you a few examples where I am sure that you may have forgotten to say thank you just in the past few days. Maybe it’ll make us all think again and get us all thanking.

• Someone linked to one of our articles. I’ve been linked to before, but I can’t remember always going and saying “thanks for that link.” Maybe we should try.
• You got an e-mail saying “I love your site.” Maybe you’re so busy, you forget to reply. Give a reply and say, “thanks a lot.” Just that little bit will make that person feel good.
• Someone commented on your blog posts (it’s okay to comment on this one just so you know). One of the big mistakes people make (and I do too) is not replying to these comments. If you comment, thank the person for commenting. They’ll come back, I promise.

These are just three things that we may forget to say thank you for. Granted, it’s not as great as getting a meal from a tribe of people who could have just as easily killed you, but it’s still the thought that counts right? So, when you’re sitting down in front of a massive table of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie, and everything else that is absolutely delicious, remember to say thank you for the small things in life. The next time someone comments, thank them. They’ll come back.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May it be a great one!
