Still Working on Options

I've been writing at Textbroker quite a lot. And I'm working really hard to try to build readership for my blogs and make them generate income. Truth is... I'm up to about 25 cents a day income from the blogs. I'm learning a lot... it should be possible to improve that. However, the blog world doesn't seem to know that Outdoor/Nature categories even exist. The fact that categories like that don't exist on most of the standardized lists for advertising opportunities means that I'm not getting matched with viewers well.

A big milestone is that Get Off The Couch News has made Google Pagerank level 3. That's still low, but respected among bloggers who aren't in it just for money. The North Country Trail News is at PR 2. But the blog I like best My Quality Day is still PR 0... doesn't matter that I am getting a nice interactive following... Google doesn't care, which means that advertisers won't either.

I'm looking into another online work opportunity. I'll explain more when I figure it out better.
