Here I am taking a break after 6 months of training and a successful PT test passed! Just wanting to eat donuts and chill! And my wife and kids are out “getting their workouts in.”
First, my wife completes her 1 hour Cardio and Upper body work.
Next, my son completes 31 minutes of Cardio, HITT, and toning with Fitness Blender.com!
Then my daughter completes her 36-minute run, complete with yoga cool down!
Can’t I take a break? Apparently not.
Namaste
So 33 minutes of yoga, in the books for me!
Many bloggers and business authors have said that you should start your blog with advertisements, this way your readers will come to expect it and you start generating income immediately.
For many bloggers advertisements are one of the ways that their efforts are translated into monitory value. Advertisements are used so that bloggers and writers can focus on what they do best, writing! The idea is, the more your write, the more viewers will come, and the more viewers you get the more your advertisements will display and entice readers to visit your advertising partner’s web pages. And then…. Mo’ Money, Mo’ Money, Mo’ Money
But, with many of the advertising sites, you don’t get to choose which ads appears on your page. Have you ever wondered where those advertisements that appear on your site go? Is it something that you want your readers to click on? And does it support what I want my site to represent? Well if you set your advertising account up properly, it should. I urge you, once you have your links set up on your site, DO NOT wonder anymore. Just accept it.
Last year my google advertisements account was disabled because I didn’t just accept it. The claim was that I might have been over inflating my clicks. Within 24 hours I noticed that the spaces where advertisements once appeared on my page, now were empty spaces. I received an email one night letting me know the fate of my advertising account and the forfeiture of funds that I’d accumulated over the year of using the service. Oops, My bad!
In my case The money I lost was not significant but, it was income that my blog was generating. I often wondered had my curiosity not gotten the best of me, where I’d be now! I guess I won’t be retiring off of the income from advertisements on my blog 😢.
Don’t fret though! If you are using an advertising service for your blog or website you can learn from my mistake. Know that Google is not the only game in town. If you follow these tips, you will learn from my mistakes and start funding your retirement account with money made from advertisements.
As you can see from my site, it won’t be the end of the world and there are other options out there. It just requires a bit of restraint on your part along with some research. The best option though, as I learned, is to not mess up your chances to begin with.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas and comments regarding this post. Please leave me a reply in the comment section below. Are you a blogger? What advertising platform do you use?
For the longest time, I feared the kitchen. Growing up, an incident while cooking bacon pushed me away from the kitchen. And I had not returned until recently. I would hide under the guise that I didn’t know how to cook. Now, I’ll admit, I didn’t know the first thing about how to regain my comfortableness in the kitchen. But, as my wife has told me time and time again “if you can read, you can cook.”
I’ll be the first to tell you that my cooking game is mediocre at best. But, it is a skill that I’m developing, as apparent by many kitchen mistakes and occasional trips to the ER (we’ll discuss the later in another post) due to kitchen accidents. When I do get it right, however, it is something to praise!
I recently tried my hand at creating a Parmesan pork chop meal that looked so good on paper. When it was all done my eyes were not disappointed! The pork chops were amazing. Even though the full meal didn’t turn out the way I’d planned, The pork chops alone was a huge success.
Following a recipient from The food network, I used two eggs, a cup of Italian Bread crumbs, 3/4 cups Parmesan cheese(the recipes called for freshly grated, but I used shredded), salt, pepper and 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil. Working with 6 pieces of pork chops, after rinsing them off, I coated with the Parmesan cheese. Being careful not to remove the coat of cheese I then used a paper towel to pat dry then coat with egg. I added the salt and pepper to my bread crumbs and from the eggs, the pork chops were placed into the bread crumbs. Then grilled each for about 4-6 minutes per side. And finally, bon appétit!
The rest of the meal was going to be a rice and vegetable blend, but, the brown rice didn’t want to work with me. After multiple attempts, I’m sad to say that my rice was burned and killed on the stove! I ended up suggesting pork chop sandwiches…without the bread!
