Not Rich Yet

Hi! My name is Jason Poteet and I am setting out to make some money on the internet. I am not new to the internet but I am embarking on some new internet adventures that I hope will turn into a nice career change. I won’t bore you with more back story on me here, I will save that for the About Jason Poteet page. I gotta have something to go there.

For the past couple of months I have been researching new ways to make money on the internet. I have been hitting some really awesome blogs, websites and forums tying to figure out exactly what is out there, how to best proceed and to succeed. I have been literally blown away by the money being made on the internet by some very crafty entrepreneurs and I am planning on joining that crowd. At least I am honest about it though. I am not filling your ears with tales of my love for my fellow mankind and hoping to just make enough money to cover my hosting costs. I wish I had a nickel for everytime I read a webmaster or forum host claim they just wanted to make enough to cover their hosting costs. I am here to make serious money and leave the 9-5 crap to other people. I am betting you are too or you would not be here reading my blog.

My blog isn’t designed to be a “Send me $50 bucks and I will send you my proven strategy” kinda thing. The main purpose of the blog is to really document what I am doing, meet other like minded individuals, and maybe help someone out along the way. Although I reserve the right to change my mind and start charging ya’ll $50 if I think you will pay it.

One of my first spots on the net I started frequenting was John Scott’s, v7n. I started going through his blog and posts on the forums and I was dumbfounded at the things he was getting paid for. Mainly that people would pay to submit their site to a directory. When I started on the Internet around 1992, it was hard enough to get someone to buy a website much less pay to list that site on someone’s directory. It was at v7n I started to understand the current direction of the internet in regards to Google Ranking and Search Engine Optimization. I also started up a few ideas in my head as ways to make money online. I bought me a few domains names (I will save the pain in the ass finding an available domain name rant for a nother post) and started working on some sites. I don’t have any of them really complete yet, but I am working on some good ideas.

Those ideas are what we will get into in the days to come and hopefully be on our way to some good money on the internet.
