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.

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…..
