I’ve been doing the PTC sites. You sign up for free, then you click on sites and visit them for 10-30 seconds, then you get credit for viewing the sites. It seems silly at first, you get $0.0001 per view, or something crazy, like that. After a few days of doing it, I discovered the bonus; I can cash in my points/ earnings to have my site viewed!
I almost used my main site, but I realized all the sites I was viewing had to do with making money online in some way.
So… I used an affiliate link I got with Profit Lance to cash in some of the points I had accumulated to run an ad on one of the sites. Hopefully I can get some traffic this way. It’s a lot cheaper than Adwords!

Trying To Make Some Money
Well, I’m realizing that I’ve been going at this the wrong way. The cooking website is nice and it’s what I’m really interested in. But so far, it hasn’t earned a dime. I think people searching online are more interested in making money.
So I’m changing my course of action. I’m going to focus on selling affiliate tools for making money. Later on, when there’s a little money in the bank, I’ll go back and try to do dome of my own recipe writing.
So now I feel like I’m treading water and slowly sinking!

The Website
Well, the website is finally finished. It was a big accomplishment. I’m glad that step is done. It will probably be easier the next time. It was very challenging.
The site wasn’t ready when I thought it was. I had to change quite a few things. I still don’t understand a lot of what I did, but it’s up and running. Once I knew it wasn’t working I had to keep going back and trying again, and again. Finally, after completely giving up on one portion, and changing some more, it’s running. I kept going back to various forums and discussions online to gain more knowledge. For only having limited computer knowledge, I had to read things through more than once to see if the issues applied to me.
Then somehow I locked part of it, but I was able to unlock it. I’ll have to have a friend explain the finer points of website construction to me.
Now I haven’t been working for the last six weeks on it. Life has thrown us too many curve balls this year. It hasn’t stopped. But it took a solid week of working to get the site to this point. It’s a very simple site, but it’s working.
Now I have to make it work for me.
