Thinking of ways to jump start TPL

November 14, 2006 By Jeff Leave a Comment

Well I have been thinking of ways to jump start TPL and I think that I may have found something. I have a number of friends that are less than tech savy, so I am thinking that is would be cool if I could just simply give these guys a blog. Somewhere they can speak there thoughts. It really wouldn’t be that hard to set up a WordPress server, however like I just said Ia m looking to jump start TPL – Canada. So why not kill 2 birds so to speak.

I have found a very cool add-on for Vbulletin that will give every user a blog that they would have a lot of control over. They will have a number of different blocks that they can put on the site, and they will have their own place to chat. Currently there isn’t an easy way for a “neat” URL, like something.thepartylive.com however I figure I could solve that with some htaccess redirects. That will give me the power to give a user a sub-domain like URL depending on the username, and then they will have a blog that they could show to all of their friends. Of course I will have the added benefit of having a bunch of NEW pages that will bring a bunch more people to the site through the SEs.

All of this will be happening before the end of the month, so keep your eyes open.

Re-organizing and making new plans

November 6, 2006 By Jeff Leave a Comment

As some who read this blog probably know I recently started a new job, that has up to this point really put a sting in my online dealings. Mostly leaving me with very little time to spend reorganizing and expanding.

There are a couple of sites that I am working on selling and a couple more that I am working to get back online. And on top of all that, I am planning on moving this site to my other server so that I can cut some of my bills. Right now I have enough cash to keep everything running for one year without any additional income. However I would like to extend that to 18 month. This is just a contingency so that if I get even busier and all of my current revenue streams dry up I will have more than enough time to catch back up.

Right now I am only doing real work on the weekends, but I am planning on changing that and do a max of one hour a day on my business. Then an additional 4 hours on the weekend. Right now I spend this time watching TV, so I figure that it would be better for me to build rather than veg.

Well that is all of an update that I have for now, I will be sure to bo doing some more, maybe I will even make a point to make a post 2x a week…..
