This month I have come up with a few goals that I intend on reaching. In doing so I know that I’ll come out on top instead of remaining in the hole. To keep you informed, due to some unauthorized transactions through my paypal account, my bank account is now -$20 instead of the $1 I had in there. Hopefully I’ll get all of that cleared up as soon as possible.

1) Obtain 50 Active Cash Crate referrals.

This one is going to take a lot of work on my part, but I know that it will pay off in the end. If you aren’t familiar with Cash Crate, be sure to read my Cash Crate Review . Also, if you decide to sign up for Cash Crate, I would simply just ask that you do so from one of my links.

2) Write Articles.

I just received my first up-front payment from Associated Content (AC). I submitted the article yesterday, and when I got home from class today, I saw the email from paypal. There’s a screen shot of the email that was sent to me. Call it proof. My goal for this month is to write no less than 5 articles per day, every day. By doing so, (in a perfect world of course) 5 x 3 = 15. $15 per day X 30 days in November = $450

3) Setup a few niche blogs. Once I get this blog switched over to Wordpress, I will start on setting up niche blogs in order to get some adsense revenue going.

4) Sell poems to anybody who wants them. This month, since I am considering November my power month, all poems will be sold for $10. Along with your poem, you would receive the rights to change and do with as you wish, or you can leave it posted on my blog, and I can link a few keywords back to your site.

Those are my 4 goals. I don’t think that any of these should pose too much of a problem. The only thing that I’m worried about, is Cash Crate. So far I’ve made $50.46. That’s how much my check was. I didn’t get to take a picture because of bank overdraft charges. If you are looking for a way to make some money online, or, you just want to help me out, please sign up for Cash Crate.

Blogging is something that I have grown to love. For the past two months I have been building and building upon the simple idea that created PoeticMoney.com. I’ve written just under 100 posts so far. I’ve been having an average of 100 visits a day. I’ve bought the domain name. Now, I’ve got one other task to take this blog to the next level.

If you’ve taken a venture across the Blogosphere lately, you should notice that a lot of blogs set up originally on Blogger, are switching over to Wordpress. Speaking of that, be sure and take a look at the newly redesigned MyDebtFreeGoal.com now on Wordpress. I am doing the same. Wordpress, simply put, is an all around better platform in which to do your blogging in. The layout is much more attractive, and user friendly, and that’s what attracts readers.

For those of you who have subscribed to my feed, or who are regular readers here at PoeticMoney.com, you’re probably wondering when I’m going to actually switch over. What could I be spending all of my time doing? Right now, I’ve just about got everything the way I want it. I am completely redesigning everything, and I think you’re going to like it.

To give you an idea of what awaits you at PoeticMoney.com once it’s switched over to Wordpress, let me explain.

The New PoeticMoney.com includes

• A new, more attractive theme (Screen shot below)
• Easier navigation
  
• A comment rating feature
• A post rating feature
• Better comment management and submission (Yes, I did read your suggestions)
• A Live Shoutbox!
• Polls

That’s just to name a few things.

As for the theme, here’s what I’ve gotten so far. Note: This is subject to change

So what’s holding me back? Why isn’t PoeticMoney.com on Wordpress already? Well, actually, it already is, but guess what! You can’t visit it.

Not right now anyway. I have Wordpress installed on my localhost, and I’m just trying to put it all together the way that I want before I launch it. I have been working on it day and night for about a week now. I want it to be perfect before I set it free. I personally think that the new PoeticMoney.com will become a prominent figure in the Blogosphere. Just wait until you see what I’ve done with it.

What You Should Do Until The Release

TELL EVERYBODY

Let people know about the site. Tell your friends! Tell your friends friends! Tell the world by Digging and Stumbling this post (Or through any social network you choose). Also, tell me what you think. I always enjoy comments, and I usually respond to all of them as soon as I can.

The Real Reason

The real reason that the Wordpress version of this blog isn’t up and running already is because of hosting. I know, I know, hosting can be as cheap as $6/month! But have you looked at my earnings this month? Keep in mind now that my online endeavors are my ONLY source of income. Hosting costs $6/month, and I have $0 in my account to pay for it right now.

If you are as excited about the new blog as I am, leave a comment and let me know. If you simply can’t wait, you can help this project move along a lot quicker by donating.

This entire blog was inspired by Amy Bass of MyDebtFreegoal.com

I am currently in the process to switching blogging platforms. Making the move from Blogger to Wordpress. So far I am rather impressed by Wordpress, and all of the extra features and plug ins that you simply don’t get with Blogger. I have it set up right now on my local host, and I’m trying to get it all set up the way that I want (Template, Widgets, Etc.) before I switch the domain over.

The thing about Wordpress that is completely different than Blogger, is the fact that if you want a plug in, you have to download and install it. Occasionally you might have to change some coding in your template, or even the plug in itself. Seeing as how I have a very limited knowledge of any coding whatsoever, I’m sure that making the switch will take me longer than it would others.

After it’s all said and done though, I think that you will all be rather impressed with the new blog.
It’s going to be much easier to navigate, comments are going to be 10x easier to post, and, with the SEO plug in that I downloaded, I should get better rankings. These are things that you simply can’t do with Blogger. Blogger limits you to what you can do. With wordpress, you can literally do just about anything you want to, as long as you can find the plug in. If you can’t find the plug in, you can always just write one yourself.

If you are familiar with Wordpress, and know of any links that will help me with switching the domain over from where it is now, on my blogger acct, to my Wordpress blog, please, leave a comment with a link included.

I’m not sure what template I’m going to use just yet, but I can tell you this, I have heard from various people that they didn’t like the all black template, so you can expect a different color scheme.

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited.

Posting will probably slow down a bit, until I get it all transfered over to Wordpress, then I will pick back up with posting.

Is there anybody else out there that’s making or has made the switch? I know that Amy is doing the same thing.

Well, needless to say, this experiment was a failure. I didn’t receive enough Diggs quick enough to reach the front page. I did receive a lot of traffic, and, people actually left comments. Imagine that.

The story ended up with a total of 84 Diggs, as of right now. I was out of town Friday. I have been told that if a story doesn’t reach the front page of Digg within 24 hours of its posting, it will never reach the front page, so, with me being out of town, I didn’t get to see how many Diggs it had when it reached the 24 hour mark.

What did I get out of this? A number of comments on Digg stating that the story wouldn’t get a lot of diggs, and that I was a spammer. I have come to the conclusion, that there are just some people on Digg, who accept shouts from everybody, and then just bitch about it whenever they receive a shout. I also, as stated earlier, received right around 200 visits yesterday. My only hope is that at least a few of those people actually visit back and become regular readers of my blog.

If you did happen across this blog for the first time because of Digg, please, let me know about it. I’m interested to know who reaches my site, and from where. I always have my analytics report, but that only tells me the number of people and where they came from, not who they are.

For all of you Diggers out there that gave my story a Digg, thank you. I was told from the very beginning that I wouldn’t get any more than maybe 10 Diggs, but, that post recieved 84. Until then the most Dugg post I’ve had only had about 46 Diggs. Thank you all.
