Making Money at Blogging in 2011
So you are interested in making money at blogging. Be warned: this is not easy in the slightest. As a matter of fact, any blogger will tell you it is extremely hard, and for a few hard-working, lucky people, an actual full time job. Your first step through quality content, and proper syndication, is to attract visitors to your blog before you can even begin to think about making money. If you have a good following, there are several ways to add revenue streams from blogging. Perhaps some of these options will work for you. Continue reading

Wanting Google+ Invites Causes People to Forget About Spammers
Over the past week, I’ve seen a ridiculous amount of people paste their email address all over the internet. As a professional Web Designer that works with KMH Kreations, a company that understands privacy protection, this makes my stomach churn. If you are reading this to find out how to get an invite, the click here to read the only safe, dependable way to get one.
What I can’t believe, is how all of the people have forgotten that spammers thrive on acquiring free contact information. On a Google+ Fanpage (which doesn’t seem to be affiliated with Google), you can click on the comments of any post and see tons of people who have offered up their email addresses in hopes of receiving an invite. This is just one example from thousands of web pages that have offered an invite, and have been flooded with addresses.
Come on people, you know better than this! Continue reading
How Do I Get in to Google Plus?
EDIT: 7/6/11:13pm EDT
Google+ has reopened their invites! So, if you know someone PERSONALLY who is a part of Google+, ask them nicely to invite you. The invites can be found towards the bottom of the screen on the right hand side as the user is viewing his/her HOME screen. Good luck!

So, you want to be a part of Google Plus. Right. Well, here is how you become a part of Google+. You must have luck. You must have people IN the know. You cannot have your mommy call up Google and have them invite you. You have to be at the right place at the right time with the right clicking maneuvers. That is it. Nothing more.
Since I have been a part of Google+ for less than 24 hours (as of this writing), I have never felt more popular. But, that feeling was fun for about three seconds. Now, I just want to be able to help make Google+ a great place to be. The number of emails, Twitter requests (from strangers even), and Facebook comments, is amazing. However, fortunately or unfortunately, I now know how to help. I have learned the answer to the $64,000 Question.
