All Work And No Play With Jane May

written by John Chow on July 5, 2007

As some of you may have heard or not heard, I have recently sold one of my blogs, Career Ramblings dot com. This came at some what of a surprise since I wasn’t expecting to get an offer that I would actually accept. It turns out, I was happy, my business partner was happy and the new owner is happy.

I was devoting a lot of time into Career Ramblings, building it up to generate over $1800 a month, over 60,000 page views a month and a PR of 6, and now that it’s gone I have some extra time to put into my other projects. Some of the projects that I am working on now is starting a new blog called Daily Web Ideas.

Daily Web Ideas will take over my personal blog, Jane May Blogs (currently on a 301 redirect), and continue to grow in topics such as monetization, marketing, blogging advice, optimization, useful tips and much more. I will probably have my personal blog just be random discussions. I don’t want my personal blog to have any focus since my thoughtful content will go into my other websites.

In addition to Daily Web Ideas, I will be guest blogging at least once a week here on Mr. Evil’s website for all of you and maybe an occasional guest post for one of my loyal readers. I like surprises :-) .

I have one project that will take up most of my time. I have two other business partners that will be running the day to day of it, but it’s exciting nonetheless. I can’t say much on the details just yet, but I can say that there will be some new and upcoming bloggers that will benefit from this project greatly. You may just want to keep up with Daily Web Ideas to find out what tricks I have up my skirt…I mean sleeve!! :-P

This post was guest blogged by Jane May. She teaches readers how to create and monetize blogs on Daily Web Ideas.

the new blog looks pretty good

very well designed!

a video a day July 5, 2007 at 12:27 pm

well done jane!

just how many blogs have you got?

i saw “G2 media company” on your new site’s footer, is that your company?

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 12:28 pm

yes, I am a partner with 2 others.

John Cow July 5, 2007 at 12:04 pm

Great stuff, I’ll be checking it out!

a video a day July 5, 2007 at 12:16 pm

johncow.com?

what a typo, i’m surprised that john allows you to be seen here

John Cow July 5, 2007 at 12:50 pm

Why?

cooliojones July 7, 2007 at 1:22 pm

I’m sure the name helps out both people. Cow gets the typo traffic, and Chow gets the “I know you you are really imitating” traffic. :)

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 12:17 pm

look forward to seeing you all around :lol:

Wahlau.NET July 6, 2007 at 12:25 am

wahaha….a similar website with the same theme and stuff…

Terra Andersen July 5, 2007 at 12:04 pm

Great job and good luck!

Stephen Welton July 5, 2007 at 12:10 pm

Fantastic move to consider starting another property. You will be flipping in no time!

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 12:22 pm

I don’t think I want to flip this time.

a video a day July 5, 2007 at 12:28 pm

not when there’s no decent offer on the table

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 12:35 pm

Well, that’s not my exit strategy, so I guess regardless of offer…

Jamie Harrop July 5, 2007 at 12:14 pm

Sounds awesome, Jane! I can’t wait. :)

Oh man… Jeff Kee is gonna love that skirt comment. :lol:

congrats on the sale and i wonder how much you get

is it something around $50,000

Goob July 5, 2007 at 12:50 pm

Yeah, congrats on the sale! Building something valuable from scratch is always a pretty darn good feeling. :)

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 12:51 pm

yeah, it was, although there was sooo much time spent on it, it feels like losing a baby…or a really loved pet :-)

Marc July 5, 2007 at 5:26 pm

Congrats Jane May :)

I think cashing in now makes a lot of sense. People are begging for a place to toss their money once more. Cashing out and starting over now is the best idea of all.

Philomena Ojikutu July 5, 2007 at 11:18 pm

Jane, if that’s how you feel, then the hallmark of web success a la YouTube, MySpace, is in seling off your works. Get ready to loose more ‘babies’ and acieve more web success.

Real Estate Editorial July 5, 2007 at 12:22 pm

Good Luck!

chrisblogging.com July 5, 2007 at 12:27 pm

Good luck Jane. Ill definitely be hanging around the new blog…

simon July 5, 2007 at 12:49 pm

Very nice blog! Good luck~

Michael Kwan July 5, 2007 at 1:03 pm

Good luck Jane. I look forward to reading more of your stuff here (and at Daily Web Ideas).

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 1:17 pm

Thanks Michael! I look forward to writing some great stuff :grin:

Well, at least try to..hehe

blogcrowds July 5, 2007 at 1:45 pm

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 1:47 pm

Komirad July 5, 2007 at 2:09 pm

New site to read.. Cool :twisted:

Casey July 5, 2007 at 2:19 pm

Nice new blog. Good luck with it, and I like your theme!

Janemay July 5, 2007 at 3:15 pm

Thanks Casey, it’s a work in progress.

Carl Pei July 5, 2007 at 2:54 pm

Wow. The last sentence was pure evil. :evil:

website copywriter July 6, 2007 at 1:31 am

Who new Jane was nice AND naughty… :cool:

MoneyNing July 5, 2007 at 3:13 pm

Cool luck with your new businesses! What you have built is truly amazing.

Chuck July 5, 2007 at 5:53 pm

I must say…this was one of the most depressing headlines I’ve read all day:

“All Work And No Play With Jane May”

I’ve been married almost 30 years, so I’m no candidate…but title like this referring to such a lovely woman…seems like such a tragedy! ;-)

dacranleycode July 5, 2007 at 10:33 pm

Congrats Jane. Daily Web Ideas is now on my daily must read list. Cant wait to hear what those tricks up your sleeve are.

Wahlau.NET July 6, 2007 at 12:31 am

congrats on the sale

website copywriter July 6, 2007 at 1:34 am

Great expectations and possibilities — good luck on all your new endeavors, Jane! :smile:

Webmaster Money July 6, 2007 at 1:51 am

Is it worthy to sell it and start something new?

website copywriter July 8, 2007 at 11:14 am

Clearly she received good compensation for it. When there is opportunity, there is growth. Pretty sure Jane will make even bigger waves with her new projects.

Mybloggo July 6, 2007 at 3:57 am

Good Luck and keep going
