Today I received about five IM messages with a link to a fairly negative AGLOCO article that made the front page of Digg. That reminded me that I should check my stats. Good thing I did because I hit another milestone by crossing over the 9,000 sign up mark.
It’s All About Attitude

You have a dream to make money online. Statistically speaking, your chances are very slim. Oh sure, you’ll hear stories of some guy going from zero to $7,000 a month in six months, but he’s one out of 60+ million blogs. You think you can do the same thing?

There are three groups of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happen. Which group do you want to be in?

Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...
