Hey everyone, you have officially found the first ever edition of Life After the Cubicle. Okay fine, it’s more like the pilot edition since it has not yet officially launched. Anyways, this will be an ongoing series that I hope to keep around indefinitely. The series can be found under the Life category on my navigation bar.
Introduction to the Series
Life After the Cubicle is going to be my story about what I am doing now that I have quit my office job to try new things. I am going to focus on writing about my gigs, short-term jobs, and any freelance opportunities I encounter along the way. If I sell some crap on Craigslist to pay my cellphone bill, here is where you can read about it.
I will also document my journey to make a full-time living online through this blog along with a few other sites. I hope to share some more tips on blogging and share my stats as far as traffic and what I have set for goals. It is more like a journal documenting my journey to become an entrepreneur .
I think it will be really interesting to document it and it will help me stay motivated to succeed at it. Who knows, I might even influence a few others to ditch the cubicles and move on to a more satisfying life. We will see…
Enough with the hype right? Here is the news I am sharing for the first ever episode:
I Have Joined the 42nd Estate
I have officially joined the 42nd Estate, a group of bloggers hoping to make an impact on the internet. You can check out the 42nd Estate blog as well as Adam Pieniazek’s blog for my introduction and what my background is (not that you don’t know already). I plan to start helping them out more with some of the sites including Only The Interner’ts Best Reviews, which is a site that plans to review everything in the world. I have also designed the graphic for We Demand Videos, a site that brings the best videos from YouTube to one easy to find location.
I think this is an awesome step in the right direction. Not only can I utilize my blogging knowledge on some more sites, but I can continue to learn more and more. I am amazed at what I have learned since I started this blog in the beginning of February.
Over the next few months, I hope for a lot to happen. I already have another blogging position setup that I am eager to start workong on as well. I will wait until the next edition to share that since it is still in the beginning stages.
And that concludes the first pilot edition of Life After the Cubicle. Don’t worry, it will get a lot better and I will even make a sweet graphic for the series : ).
PS. At the end of each Life After the Cubicle post, I will be placing this bar which shows my Alexa ranking as well as my Google PageRank. I am in no way trying to brag about any stats, but instead want to share my journey so I can see my progress as time moves on.
Alexa: 70,274 / PageRank: 3

Good stuff dude. I can’t help but be jealous. I think everyone wishes that they could take these steps like you did. I think it’s pretty cool.
Thanks. It should be interesting, but I have a good feeling about it and think it will all work out in the end. If not, at least I gave it a try : )
Good luck with it all Justin.
I find your blog actually interesting which is probably why you currently have at the time of this comment an Alexa rank of: 68, 852 which is a pretty impressive feat. I’m fairly sure you’re getting some pretty serious traffic no doubt.
Oh, you also currently have a PageRank of 4 as well. Looks like you’re well on your way.
I’m a PHP Programmer/Web Developer who dabbles in some UI design every now and then. You know where to find me if you need anything.

Thanks a lot. I didn’t notice that my Alexa went up today, that’s always a good thing to see : )
If I work on any projects and need some help, I will let you know.
Again, welcome to the team buddy! You should be seeing a few more welcomes from the rest of us as they get home from their day jobs.
Congrats on the bump up in PR…it’s about time you matched (very deservedly) my blog there!
You will be missed, Justin. But thanks to these crazy Internets, we’ll still be in touch!
Great blog theme. I wish you the best in your endeavors and I look forward to following you in your journey. I will hope I will join you soon!
Just wanted to welcome you to the 42nd estate. I look forward to working with you.
@ Carla Thanks for checking out my blog!
@ Josh I look forward to working with you too. Let’s make this thing blow up, lol.
Best of luck to you man and I hope everything works out without the oppressing walls of the cubicle. Glad that you’re 42nd estate bro!
Good luck, I will check out the 42nd State.
How long has your blog been up? A PR 4 is very decent.
This sounds awesome
wow. that’s quite a good alexa rank you’ve got there. :O
Welcome to The Estate, Justin. I promise you there are no cubicles here.
Hey dude, happened upon your blog while setting up my own WordPress blog. Having some issues with the flicker albums, but I’ll get it.
I too am looking to a new start in life and have a lot of down time in my job so I’m very interested in how to make money blogging. I shall RSS your site immediately. Good Luck
Your life is so interesting! I can’t wait to read more editions of this little segment you have going here. I’m sure you’ll make it as a full time entrepreneur!
Thanks everyone for the luck, I really appreciate the positive responses from everyone!
It sounds great! It’s good that you can finally do something you like.Proud of you.
I really hope that you will enjoy your new job and share more with us.LOL

Hey Justin,
Thanks for your insights. I bought your materials a couple of weeks ago and I’ve really enjoyed studying them. By the way, two things stand out. First, I love the the banana/spinach protien shake! I add a little olive oil to incorporate healthy Monosaturated fat. Also, your discussion of multiple sources of income. That was an eye opener for me and is now a cornerstone of my strategy. Keep up the good work and let us hear more from you!!
Mike
