Professional blogging

[skyring]

I've been inspired by a few friends to improve my rather scraggly blogging performance. 1. Consolidate blogs in a professional manner 2. Improve content - basically switching from a what-I-did-today format to a standalone article format. 3. Monetize the site by including specifically targetted links. I'm mucking about with affiliate programs and this is by way of a test:
Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

The book link goes to Amazon, and if you follow the link and buy the book I get a bit of money.

That's neither here nor there for me writing a dear diary livejournal, but if I have thousands of readers by providing good dependable content, then it becomes a good revenue stream.

I can do better - writing-wise - than what I've been doing so far. Money is all very nice, but I want to improve myself and make better use of the limited hours I've got.

Realistically, I only have a couple of hours a day to write, and safeguarding that time from jumping around on the web is important.

One reason why I'm not on LJ as much is because I'm spread so thin nowadays.
