After a great holiday walking in Austria it's back to reality today. Things ticked over okay while I was away and it was good to see payments had arrived from AdSense, Voxant, CC Bill and Web Entertainment. Was hoping for a few more but no doubt they will follow soon.Haven't had a lot of time to see what's happening in the blog money making world but I did read about Charla Muller today in the UK Daily Mail newspaper.
Charla has a blog on her website which is built around a book she has had published. And the book came about because of a unique (well I think it probably is) birthday present she gave her husband Brad on his 40th birthday.
The present? Charla told her husband that his present was going to be sex with her every day for a year.
Now don't get the wrong idea the book, 365 Nights: A Memoir Of Intimacy,
isn't some sort of sex manual it's more about their relationship and the stuff that gets in the way of making love for a typical married couple with children.At one point though Charla does write amusingly about 'wanting to multi task while having sex!' She said, "I actually wanted to talk to him while we were doing it. I didn't see anything wrong with discussing the baby sitter - but Brad wasn't having any of it."
I mention the book and Charla mainly because (a) she has a blog but (b), more importantly, it illustrates how one good idea, something a bit different, can lead on to other things - which in turn can make money.
A birthday present that leads to publishing a book. Wonder what sort of other unusual slants other bloggers can think up.
There are ideas and money out there just waiting to be discovered.
Oh yes, and I have a birthday coming up this month ...
Good luck,
Mike.
365 Nights: A Memoir Of Intimacy is also available in the UK from Amazon
