I still haven't been able to get much written yet. I did write a post for Christian Personal Finance last night as part of a paid writing position. I figure that it could pay for hosting fees for my other online projects and provide a potentially larger audience for my blog. If I pass the "audition", then great. If not, then nothing is lost. I will let you know when it is posted so that you can go and vote for me to become one of their two new writers.
I am also working on the list of articles in my Google Reader and commenting here and there. I had over 300 to go through. I have knocked that total in half currently. I hope to get it done by later tonight so that I can keep up again. I would also like to get posts written for Cash Flow Mantra, Options Dude, and Options Dude A to Z. I am wondering if I am trying to get too much done in the next 12 hours.
The good news is that I have a very good idea of the topics that I will be discussing. The bad news is that it will probably take some time (about 2 hours or more) to get it all done. And I have a softball game plus some other work at the desk to do for my rental properties plus I would like to sleep some time tonight. Oh well, if nothing else, I should be back on track by tomorrow evening at the latest.
The biggest problem with vacation is that you have to get 2 weeks worth of work done in one week in order to enjoy some time off. The work doesn't necessarily stop, but simply gets compressed into a shorter time frame. Anyway, it will be a bit busier for a few days. I would also like to get ahead on some posts for Cash Flow Mantra since I really liked being able to schedule my posts during vacation when internet access was spotty and very slow at best.

Welcome back, Kidgas. I go on vacation in two weeks and am super excited! You are unbelievably productive, before and after vacation. I'm going to try and take a laptop to do a remote desktop connection to my server so I can stay somewhat productive passively while at the beach!
ReplyDeleteYou are a beast for doing all those manual back links! I was reading Cash Flow Mantra the other day. I like that site and what it's about. I can see you raking in zillions of long tail traffic on those articles. Glad to hear you are back, safe, and working as hard as ever.
Jared,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope you are right about the long tail traffic. That would be good.
Have a good time on vacation and enjoy the beach. Be sure to wear sunscreen.
Hi Kidgas,
ReplyDeleteI am finally able to view your blog again! Hope you had a great time on your vacation. Sounds like you have a lot of catching up to do. The good thing with writing your own blogs, though, is you can be a little late and no one can fire you. :)
Deanna,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Glad it is working for you again. I think I have finally caught up. Now I would like to get a few posts ahead like I was before vacation. That was a great feeling.
