Getting a (writing) routine

With blogging/writing it's just like with all other things in life if you don't have a fixed routine youmight get distracted and go off doing other things....or just hang around and do nothing.
"The time it takes to finish a product will stretch to fill the time to the deadline"
...And if you don't have a deadline that might be forever. So if you don't have specify a time by which you will have something done you might be never starting....Always other occupations will be more important. That's why you should have a fixed routine for important stuff...Just like on a job. So stick to the same time each day or on a specific day in the week to write your blog posts. Or set a time frame by which you want to have finished X posts so you only have to put them online.
Time management is key in many parts of life....so use yours wisely.

OneBuckWiki

Some time back i posted about the FiveDollarWiki. Max was offering free pages for a link to his project. Now he gave me five pages to his new project, the OneBuckWiki. Each page only costs one single buck....at least for the first 1000 pages. The price increases after 1000 pages sold by 10 dollar. So right now after ~1500 pages sold each new page costs $10.
I made a page about DealDotCom and it is doing pretty good. I will post about the other 4 pages soon. Well two of them are reserved for future projects so that might take a while.

New Design of the DealDotCom Widget ready

The new design of the javascript widget for DealDotCom is finally ready. It's really looking great (thx to dubaischeich. don't be afraid of the link...it's all good). The colors match the new DDC scheme and the 3d look with the round corners is really so more up to date.
I hope you also like the new look ? And keep in mind within the next couple of days there will also be a wide version of the widget. Kind of a banner version.

I'm not dead yet - october stats

Sorry for the lack of updates but my pc is a mess right now. So here are some numbers of my first month blogging. The blog had 222 unique visitors and 407 page views. I guess that is okay after i did not blog a lot. I made 16 cent through google adsense. It's next to nothing but it's all pure profit since the hosting and blogging service of blogger is free. So i made 16 cent by something i enjoy doing....

The DealDotCom widget was doing pretty good. It had 10.780 page views and is included into 48 blogs or websites right now.

The goal is to brake the 20k mark this month. I will change the design within the next couple of days and will release a different size of the widget as well.

Free Sites on the FiveDollarWiki

The FiveDollarWiki is giving away sites for free....all you need to do is blog about it.

Now go and post about it yourself and grab your site while it is still free. Blogging about it well then also lead to an increased traffic of the wiki and therefor more traffic for you.

Just make sure you leave a comment on his blog to make sure you get your site.

PS: the FiveDollarWiki might look like a bit cheap right now...but it is all about the content and the traffic. And i guess he might get as much visitors as his bigger and more expensive brothers...And designs can be changed easily ;-)
That is something i have in mind for my own blog as well....

DealDotCom JavaScript Widget Update

I changed the background of the widget to be white, so you do not have to set the background on your own. I also checked the sizes of the product picture again. I always thought that the picture will have the same size every day but it seems like that it is changing. I adjusted the code so the picture always takes the same space and the widget will not be chopped at the lower end.
I am going to make a wide banner as well within the next few days.

Different sizes of the DealDotCom Widget

After the javascript widget for DealDotCom is released, i am curios if you would like different sizes of the frame ? Do you like a wide banner ?
Please leave a comment with your preferred size of the widget, so i can make new widgets of the requested sizes.
