Why Didn't I Think of This Earlier?

My blog project is growing on me.


Over the past month or so, I've been dissecting Seth Godin's blog. I encourage you to check out at least one post at http://sethgodin.typepad.com/. Look for the bald head, and you've reached your destination.

 

 Godin is making me think like an economist and a marketer, and I love it. He's really good at breaking down complex business concepts into digestible, simplified pieces. We have something special. Not really, but his latest post was titled "Unexpected Turbulance" (not like I experienced that in the past 24 hours, but I definitely did), and I really understood what he was talking about.

I have come to the conclusion that I'm slow. I wish I did this earlier. But, when I reached to click on the "New Post" button on my blog, something caught my eye. Monetize. I like that word, because it's like money. So in the spirit of marketing, I just added advertisements to my blog... I think. We'll see if it all works out, but it would be interesting to see if somebody out there really thinks the minimal (but ever so precious) blog traffic I receive is worth getting an advertising income. I'll literally keep you posted on how my little marketing experiment works out.  Maybe I'll earn so much, I don't have to worry about those college tuition bills looming around the corner. Maybe I'll earn a penny.
