Would you sell your blog, and for how much? This is a recently posed question from a fellow blogger as a topic for others to write about. You can see his post here. It wasn’t that long ago that I really thought that I did want to sell it. After some careful reconsideration and being reminded how the site has helped people, I quickly withdrew the notion. Money does talk but it would be hard to put a price on something like this site. It’s pretty cool having your spot on the World Wide Web that’s yours; it’s kind of like owning a house in a way. Yours to do whatever you want with it.
This site started as a hobby and just something fun to do. It quickly evolved into more than that and soon became a business. It was really nice when the blog began to put money in my pocket. Developing relationships with other companies, bloggers, contributors, readers, and advertisers has been great fun too. I would recommend to anyone to start your own blog. There are blogging sites you can use that can help even a beginner with no knowledge of blogging or the web get started so don’t waste another minute! Thanks for reading!
Today I was on CJ looking for new advertisers for the site and found one I thought was pretty cool. FreeTicketExchange is an online social network of real fans who connect to buy, sell and trade tickets with each other for FREE! You can even start or join an exclusive group of real fans for your favorite sport, band, performer or play. If you enjoy attending events then you got to check this site out.
One thing that has always bothered me and continues to bother me is America’s obsession with Hollywood. Today I wanted to see what people are searching for on Google so I look at the Google trends page where it shows the top 100 searches for the day. Today wasn’t as bad as yesterday but out of the top 100, they are almost all celebrities. My wife watches many reality TV shows, some of which absolutely drive me crazy. The Hills for example, we have a group of young adults whose most pressing issue is what to wear that day and who talked to so and so last night on the phone. This show strikes me as totally fake by the way. The wife swears its real but I don’t buy it. Totally scripted. What’s burns me the most though must be the fact that the kids are making millions for people like my wife that will watch them go eat dinner with their friends and gossip. Most of these people in the show are already spoiled rich kids. The rich get richer, and for doing less and less.
I hope some day people will start to care about true issues, family, friends, and just making the world a better place. Its time to stop caring so much about Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, and all the other celebrity icons that truly have just been an embarrassment to the human race.
