See that header image up there? The one with the Einstein quote? Yeah, my dad said that to me once, stuck with me for the next 30-odd years.
So I’m completely ignoring that advice now, and having another crack at blogging. In the past we had quite the little “make money online” blogger community going. We’d all visit and comment on each other’s blogs, encouraging each other, having more than the odd spat (although they invariably seemed to involve me getting under someone’s skin by being a little too abrasive for my own good). Most of those bloggers aren’t online anymore, well, at least under their old blog addresses anyway.
That was around the start of 2006 when this domain was registered, when with stars in my eyes, I was absolutely convinced that I’d make my killing online telling others how to make money online.
A hell of a lot has changed since then!
I’m now a corporate SEO dude, working for a Toronto based Internet Marketing Agency from my loungeroom here in Australia on accounts across Canada and the US. It’s great because I can work in my underwear, choose my hours to suit, and best of all, get regular paychecks! 
So let’s see if we can’t fire this sucker up one more time, eh?
Oh, and if you know me from a lifetime ago, and you happen upon this post, please leave a comment down below, I’d love to hear from you, even if I pissed you off no end in the past. (I see Burt, Sarah and Chance are still around, what about Empress, Mark @ 45N5? Anyone else?)

hey hey! Welcome back to blogging! Man, i remember stumbling across your blog and you were making Amazon websites so I figured I’d try my hand at one. Since then, I have made many tens of thousands from Amazon, thanks in part to your idea.
I also know much more PHP now, so I am able to make some awesome, and useful scripts… nothing big time, but still makes my life a lot easier… don’t worry, i won’t be bugging you for help… I know to check tizag if i am stuck!
I am also starting my own blog after exiting the blogging game quite a while back. http://searchenginewhisperer.com … I’ll be focusing on teaching people how to make money with Amazon. Hope to launch it fully after the new year!
Look forward to your posts…. hit me back up on Skype one of these days…

Things have changed a lot the last few years, lot of people moved on to new things.
I let my blog expire (demp.se/y) then decided to setup a new one, which i’ve posted about twice in since!
Wow Adam, awesome to hear from you. I didn’t think I’d hear from anyone, to hear from you so quick is cool.
Looks like you’ve been quite the traveler lately. Perth is nice, you were so close to me (well, about 2,700km anyway)
Cheers mate, again, great to hear from you!

Sapphire from BlueMushrooms here! I don’t remember you pissing me off any.
I’m still doing my online stuff, but I just recently got back into writing on Blue Mushrooms again. I’m thinking about starting over at a new domain, though, and maybe selling the old one.
Wow Sapphire – great to hear from you. I think you were the first person ever to link to one of my blog posts here.
I still remember the thrill!
I was?? Haha, you may get the pleasure again soon!
I’s so funny because I got back into it, and so many people are gone now. I kept checking your site just in case, and boom, now you’re back, too!
I’ve got something developing in the works. Once I see which way a couple of offers on Blue go, I’ll let you know – you might be interested.
Stu,
I’m offended by my omission from your list!
Glad you’re still giving the whole blogging thing a go, afraid I couldn’t stick it and the real world/office job/wife and baby got in the way!
Hope it all works out for you,
Tom
Wow Tom, you actually did cross my mind when I wrote this, I just remember posting a goodbye to all from you on this blog, assumed you’d gone for good from the whole game.
Didn’t occur to me that you might still have me in your feed reader. My humblest apologies….
best of luck

The personal loans suppose to be useful for people, which would like to organize their own company. By the way, this is easy to get a auto loan.
