Packer Game Ref's needs glasses

Living in WI I have been flooded with people talking about the bad call made during the NFL game by the 2nd string refs. I figure this image says it all!

I have decided to take up the challenge of the Niche Site Duel and in doing so I’ve also decided to drag my wife into it as well. Instead of doing the duel with Leah (my wife) and I trying to build sites at the same time, we are planning to work together on each site including choosing a niche site, writing posts, creating videos, etc, etc.

RULES:

This is the 1st week of this experiment with Niche Sites. We are very excited and have high hopes for the possibility of making a full time living off of Niche Sites.

Tagline to Digital Media Alchemist ImageYesterday you might have noticed I switched the tagline of my blog from “Making money publishing comic books online” to “Becoming a Digital Media Alchemist”. The reasons for the changes are many but the main was is you, my audience and friends.

COMIC BOOK ARTISTS AREN’T THE ONLY ARTIST WHO CAN MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Through my experiences with Kickstarter and my research into how to make money as an independent artist without getting stuck in the world of Freelance I have been approached and asked by many people who are interested in using what I have learned to do the same in a variety of digital media. Film Makers, podcasters, writters, musicians and other media creators can learn from each other and I feel this gives me an opportunity to help more people make money in their choosen media make money online.

What does the new tagline mean for future posts:

Niche Site Duel with swordsBy far my favorite Internet Marketing blogger right now is Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive Income Blog.  Even though I have been following him for over a year now, I have not had the time to go through all of his pasts blogs.  On his podcast and posts Pat often mentions his Niche Site Duel he had with Tyrone Shum, which starter in August of 2010.  I have finally decided not only should
