Hey All,

While I am still writing articles for Associated Content, shooting for the $5 a day, I am starting a new project this week.

Last fall I started a website about the exciting game of cornhole. To find out more about the game of cornhole, please visit Michigan Cornhole and check it out.

For my project I am starting to put on cornhole tournaments through Michigan Cornhole. This week and probably the next too, I will be seeking sponsors, lining up the tournament locations and everything else to have a great tournament. This may not give me a direct $5 a day, but in the long run it will and plus.

You can keep track of that project over at Michigan Cornhole and the first tournament will be in May.

Till next time…..

Hey All,

Live and learn I guess. I thought that this would be a good project to start of the 5 Buck A Day program with, but I am now learning that even with the plans to use the articles after submitting them to AssociatedContent.com, things don’t always workout.

The main cause of the failure is that my view of the idea was to narrow and I didn’t anticipate some things happening. For instance, of the two articles I did last Monday, one was rejected for payment because the srticle did not have a long shelf life, but it was approved for performance payment, which means I will get paid with so many views of the article. It is around a penny for 6 views at this time.

So, Monday I will get my list out and pick a new project. Hopefully I will have better luck on this one.

Till next time…..

Hi All,

Hope everyone had a great New Year. I did and now I am ready to fulfill one of my resolutions for 2009. That resolution, the only one in fact, is to use the “5 Bucks A Day” concept and to make money from this dang ‘ol Internet!

In the “5 Bucks A Day” e-book it asks you to set a goal to shoot for and I have set my goal for $25. That means that when I am making $25 per day with the 5 Buck A Day method, I will have achieved my goal and will have to set another one. So, doing a project a week, it will should take me 5 weeks to achieve this goal. Sounds great to me.

So, my first project has to do with Bum Marketing. If you don’t know what Bum Marketing is, go to Travis Sago’s site and read all about it. He is the original and best Bum Marketer. Except I am doing it with a little twist. Instead of submitting my articles to EzineArticles, I will be submitting them to Associated Content. They offer you cash up front for your articles, instead of taking a crap shoot and hoping someone will see them in the article directories. I will also be making them non-exclusive so I can reuse the articles later!

On the average, AC pays about $4 per article, so I will need to write at least 2 articles a day to make my $5 per day. So I am off to start writing articles. I will keep you updated as I go.

Till next time…..
