Day 2 - already quite a ride!

So here it is day two and I am sitting here all day thinking about what the next step needs to be. Obviously, to get to $1,000,000.00 I need alot of people to view my site and I need to find ways to generate additional income. I have added some PPC (pay per click) advertisements. I had never heard of these before last night and have done significant research on them. Even so, I still am a bit confused about how to integrate them into my blog.


I have also submitted my first post to a blog carnival. Honestly there are so many terms that my head is spinning. My whole goal here is to increase traffic to this site which has yet to generate any. I think I will be emailing this link to everyone I know and asking them to forward this link to everyone they know. Hopefully I can get something of a chain reaction and get some viewers. Word of mouth is a good thing you know.


I hav also considered adding information for collecting donations via paypal. I will hopefully figure that out in the next few days. I need to also add my address so if anyone wants to mail me $1.00 directly. I will probably put that into my profile as well as one the bottom of the page somehow.


I have spent the day thinking about advertising on sites such as craigslist and ebay - selling certificates to people for $1.00 saying that they have just helped to make someone a millionaire, and more importantly have donated $.75 to charity. Of course if someone wanted to donate more 75% of their donation will be given to charity.


My wife asked me last night what charity I was going to doante to. To be honest, my first thought was to donate it to a charity that will help children in some manner. Something like the Boys and Girls Club of America. I will do some more research and see what makes the most sense. With a lot of charities, the majority of money does not go directly to serving children.


My wife also asked about tax implications of possibly getting such a large amount of money from people. Tax season is here and when I get my taxes done, I will ask that question. My thought is that in most places you can get no more than $10,000 in donations, winnings, etc per day before having to claim it. But we will see and I will post an update to that question later on.


So where do I stand. I guess a that I am standing still at start. I have had no readers, but will continue to post as I do. I will continue to try and generate traffic and oncehings actually get (if) things actually get rolling I will post updates on total donation. But for today, total donations are $1.00 - from myself!

My last thought is that I will try to make some videos that I can link from here and youtube to try and generate viewers.

Well that's it for today. Maybe tomorrow I will be at $2.00....who knows..anyhting is possible.
