Thinking of getting into blogging to make a quick buck? After all there’s been a lot of posts, and even blogs dedicated to it…

Well, I say good luck to you. Because if you don’t have a strong belief and passion in what you do, then it doesn’t matter. To make money, you either need to be very good at blogging, at marketing, or at business. Even better to be a great combination of the three.

And you’re going to be up against countless competition. Need an example? One of my contacts suggested I chatted with the guy behind the Techzi blog. Turns out he’s knowledgeable about the net technology, and has some interesting thoughts and ideas. The kicker? He’s 12.

Now you could go two ways when you discover that. You could get disgusted with the way the world is going and string yourself up from the rafters. Particularly if you’re likely to be turning 30 this year!

Or you can use it as a chance to get involved with a different generation of web user and combine talents, skills and experience…

Enough of the next generation….now for the one I’m stuck in….
I’ve made some pledges on my previous post about aims for 2007 regarding Disposable Media (New Wii Special out now!). Now it’s time for some more for me….

1. Learn more HTML and CSS. (Web ‘editor’ is never just editorial, and nor should it be).
2. Play guitar and read more. (Boosting creativity and taking a screen break).
3. Become less obsessed with Xbox 360 Achievement Points. (It’s gaming crack).
4. Explore more ways to become more valued in my career, and in the wider world.
5. Raise funds by blogging, Ebay, etc, etc to fund a new HDTV…and maybe an Alienware PC!
6. Stop making vague lists, and start catching up on all the web news, and getting stuff done…
