			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Reader Question: You&#8195;write about making money online, but I&#8217;ve never seen you post any actual figures. Just how much do you make from your blog?</em></p>
<p>Answer: <strong>not a lot, actually</strong>. There, I said it. Admitted live, for the whole world to read.</p>
<p>This may strike you as a strange admission, given as this blog is partly positioned as a &#8220;make money from blogging&#8221; blog, but I hardly make any money from blogging, at all. To be honest, my first ever AdSense cheque only just got mailed out a month ago. Text Link Ads bring in about $70 a month. So I&#8217;m not exactly living off the fat of the Internet Land.</p>
<p>Now, before you unsubscribe because I&#8217;m not the &#8220;expert&#8221; you thought I was, let me do some explaining. The Get Rich Project is about making money online, personal finance, and working towards financial independence. The personal finance bit has taken a back seat recently because I simply have nothing worthwhile to add at the moment.</p>
<p>So that leaves making money and working towards financial independence. Kinda the same thing, if you look at it one way.</p>
<p>Most of the online work I do is experimental. It&#8217;s trying out ideas. Some of these work, some don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s <em>entrepreneurism</em>., I&#8217;m looking to build a <em>real</em> business, not rely on advertising dollars. So I&#8217;m not making much just now. I don&#8217;t care. I&#8217;d rather make something worthwhile than have some short-lived &#8220;get rich quick&#8221; scheme.</p>
<p>The reader who asked the question above threatened to &#8220;out&#8221; me as a fraud if I didn&#8217;t tell all. Guess what chump, I seem to have outed myself. Oh dear, what ever shall I do? Keep on keepin&#8217; on, that&#8217;s what.</p>
<p>You can still unsubscribe, if you like. I&#8217;ll be sad to see you go, but I think you&#8217;d be making a mistake. Would you rather <em>learn with</em> someone, or be preached at by Yet Another Guru (YAG)?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before I return to some regularly scheduled programming, I want to take a moment to post a link to something important to me.</p>
<p>2 years ago, I suffered a brain hemorrhage. The specialist Neurology department saved my life. Now the Scottish Government is considering closing the department and &#8220;centralizing&#8221; services to a new center 150 miles away. On my personal blog I have written an <a href="http://www.pixelmeadow.com/2007/11/open-letter-to-nicola-sturgeon-msp/">Open Letter to the Minister with the final say on the matter</a>. My hope is to raise public awareness and support against the plans for closure. Please take a moment to read the letter and <a href="http://digg.com/politics/An_Open_Letter_to_Nicola_Sturgeon_MSP">Digg</a>, Stumble or link it.</p>
<p>At the very least, you&#8217;ll get to see a wicked picture of the bad-ass scar I have on the side of my head <img src='http://joemarie-aliling.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' title="Digg Something Good Today" /> </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
