This blog has changed quite a bit since I first started it. When I started this blog, I had absolutely no idea how to make money online. I just wanted to be a blogger. I thought that if I wrote a lot of cool content then I would make a lot of money. I didn’t know much about how the game was played. I still don’t know it all. In fact, I still do not make a full time income through blogging. But, I make more than I ever have and my income is growing.

I started Paycheck Blogging because I thought it was a cool name for a site. I didn’t really do much with it for a long time. In fact, up until today this blog had been around for more than a year and only contained four posts. The funny thing about those first four posts is how useless they really were. I didn’t know how to make money online and my strategy for monetizing this blog were laughable. Those early couple of posts are, today, embarrassing. But, I do not want to take them down, because frankly I need the content. So, they will remain as reminders of how little the newbie knows about internet marketing.

You may have realized that I have updated this blog a couple of times today. I am doing so because my strategy has changed. I do not monetize this blog. Not that it would matter as it gets dick for traffic. But, it is still useful to me. The fact is that for most search engine marketers links are very valuable. By maintaining a blog in the make money online niche I equip myself with something very useful. As this blog gains age, content and links it becomes valuable to me as a property with which I can link to my friends.

You see, lots of the top internet marketers have sites pertaining to internet marketing and making money online. There might be a time in the future when it will come in handy to me to be able to shoot them a nice juicy link when they write some really compelling content.

For that reason, I am turning some attention to this little blog. It costs me about $9 a year. It makes me nothing. Yet, I think it can be valuable. Remember that.
