An Update on My Affiliate Goals

I haven't updated this site in a while, but I do need to step forward and publicly update my affiliate goals for the year. I have decided that 100 sites in the next year isn't realistic, so I've changed my goal to be able to quit working in the regular rat race no later than April 1, 2006. I've decided to focus on building content for my existing sites and building them up into big successes, instead of focusing so hard on having multiple websites. I think that having 100 websites at 100 pages each is no better than having 10 websites with 1000 pages each, really.

I've also been looking at taking on some partners. WebLogsInc has a fascinating model where they split ad revenue with the people who write the blogs in their network. I'm working on setting up some similar partnerships and joint ventures with some people. I'm looking for people who are willing to write daily content, and let me publish that content, and then they can split the Adsense revenue with me. (Or whatever other affiliate revenue I might make.) It's certainly easy enough to track where your advertising dollars are coming in from, so actually implementing this business model should be easy.

I've got ideas for blogs on a number of subjects, but I can only write so much content each day without just totally wearing myself out. If anyone is interested in doing a join venture with me of a blog type nature, where you would write the content, and I'll handle the SEO and publishing, then get in touch with me and let me know.

I'm going to start trying to keep this blog updated a little more conscientiously too.
