I spent the better part of the last month evaluating my finances and future goals of my ‘cyber‘ business. I ran some simple tests with this blog over the past two months, to see if a blog could actually create revenue. Just by posting ‘relevant’ content to current events I was able to generate a small, not substantial, amount of income. I did no promotion, no advertising, and didn’t really work on trying to make money. I just put up some Google AdSense ads and that was that.

Since this is my ‘flagship’ blog I am making changes to the layout on content for the new year.

The plan is simple. This blog will be here as my reporting / ad generating facet of my internet business as well as business industry related posts. There will be theories, metrics, and all sorts of good information on what worked and what didn’t work on my blogs and on my websites. I will also be posting daily about other blogs and the ways they are generating money, and doing sponsored reviews of other website. I hope to keep it entertaining as well without diluting the site too much with a ridiculous amount of ads.

Basically, you are going to have a front row seat on how to start and maintain a content based blog and business. The posts here as well will be focused on monetizing, and generating ad revenue. I am a novice, so you will see many failed attempts at generating revenue. Hopefully, you will be able to steer clear of my mistakes.

I will continue to post my personal musings on a soon to be announced blog, but I just feel the domain ManVsBlog.com is too good to give up on the money making side of things. So get ready for the massive changes.

2008 will be a good year for ManVsBlog! Hope you all stick around.
