Here’s a question I’ve had for a while. How do you make money off of your blog if you are unwilling to use advertising? Can it ever be profitable?
I’ve thought of a few options but I’m hesitant to pull the trigger on any of them because they don’t seem viable:

I’ve been growing discontent with my blog. The content, traffic, and discussion are decent but I feel unsatisfied. When I happened past the Strategic Blogging series on ProBlogger I knew that I needed a Blog Blueprint. I don’t intend on monetizing this blog in any way shape or form but ...

I thought I’d take a break from my regular nightly work on The Wilderness to watch a movie with Mary. We watched the movie The Kite Runner and it sure was good. It’s about a boy and his life in Afghanistan with his father and servants.
I loved seeing what the ...

Ok, I’ve typed this 3 times now. I think this is a fantastic photo. I love the color and the composition. It reminds me a little of how our photos look now that we’re using an old skool film based camera.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who voted to keep the dBlogIt active. I’m in a little time of indecision regarding the blog. On the one hand I’ve been doing it for so long. I really identify with it, I enjoy the writing, and it’s a ...

You know how I like my artwork messay. Russ Mills can have all of my money in return for prints of his stuff. That is as soon as I have some that is expendable. Oh, and if the woman approves…

I just recently watched The Bank Job with Jason Statham. It’s a movie about a bunch of regular criminals trying to go straight who rob a bank by digging a tunnel into its vault. But they don’t realize that they’re being played. They eventually have to figure out how to ...

If you’re looking for some great photography by some local Arizona photographers look no further.
Thom and Kat Varga, took some great photographs of the wildflowers in Arizona. They’ve really captured the beauty of the Southwest that a lot of folks don’t know about. I think most people associate the Southwest ...

I love the artwork of David Sheirer. First, I’m a big fan of watercolor as it is my preferred medium. Second, I dig randomness. Why paint a teabag or a toy truck filled with Newcastle bottle caps? Who knows.
He really captures the mundane. Average bits of life like a handful ...

Bottom line: Shatter big projects into little pieces. Finish and launch one piece at a time. Introduce value now…Working on, finishing, and launching one little piece at a time will help you stay motivated because you’re always working on something new.

I love this font. With its roundy goodness it’s happy and fun but still modern. This font could be a timeless one. It’s a little borderline though, a little on par with the web 2.0 fonts of yore–Arial Rounded being the major culprit. And although it doesn’t look a thing ...

This video takes me back to my childhood. It’s a new tune by Justice and a fantastic typographic time warp! I think they’ve pretty much covered every major type treatment that the mainstream media of the 80’s had to offer. Even down to the shiny gold 3-d ...

I’ve mentioned what a fan of Brad Pitt I am. Johnny Depp is another one of those fun actors that I really enjoy. He’s had some great roles in movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Finding Neverland, and Edward Scissorhands to name ...

Now that’s just clever. Not only were they able to create storage for all those books, but they also created a little loft at the the top that’s perfect for reading. It goes to show you that the best designs are those that have the most functionality in the most ...
