About a year ago, I managed to pick up my last name (Ouchs with a dot com) as my domain. How I managed to grab an attractive five letter domain still overwhelms me (just renewed for two more years).  Not until October 2006 I started turning the site into a blog. For the first month or so, I managed to put good time and effort into the blog. Posting at least once at day and making the front page of Shoutwire at least once a week was my ritual. Making on the front page of Shoutwire does not compare (traffic) to making Digg’sfront page, but it was a lot easier making the front page of Shoutwire. The traffic was good but it did not fair too well for my adsense earnings. That was the main reason (big mistake) I lost interest with the blog.

Now that six months have passed and  after reading John’s Chow eBook (very informative and it’s free to download!), I am going to revive my blog and give another shot. Now that I am more motivated and more wiser, I think this blog’s life will last longer than the last. This time I will blog what I am passion about (the internet, business and investments) and I will not mainly blog to make money. If I do start making money from this blog, I promised John I will donate my first $100 (what I think his eBook is worth) earning to his beer fund.
