Make Money From Social Networking

I created LifeofJustin.com as a way of broadcasting my life to everyone on the internet. Social networking is a hobby I enjoy doing along with web design. I also enjoy writing, photography, and creating videos. So I thought, why not try and make a living doing this?

I have always used other social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, and many more. But what I find appealing about my own website is that I can incorporate all of those into one gigantic portal. Plus I can keep …

Flickr Photo Album For WordPress

Last night, I managed to stay up very late and incorporate a huge new addition for Life of Justin. That would be the new Photo’s Page, which can also be accessed via the Photos button above.

The one thing I was struggling to do with this website was incorporate photos. I have thousands of pictures and it becomes very hard to share them with anyone. I have had a Pro Flickr account for a year now and I try to upload my favorite pictures there whenever I get a …

ShareThis Plug-In For WordPress

Today a new feature was added to LifeofJustin.com that will make it easier for readers to share my posts with others. When I was using Blogger, I had a Digg button on my right sidebar that allowed people to Digg my site but this did not allow people to share certain posts.

Now that I am using WordPress, tons of plug-ins are available to make things work much better, and more importantly, easier. The name of the plug-in I am using is called ShareThis and it is available for free.…

The Roadtripperz Are Back

Over the weekend, a few breakthroughs occurred. One of them involves a big Road Trip.

We went out partying again Friday and Saturday night and it is starting to get old. I think drinking is going to start fading back out for awhile. Not only is it expensive, but it really does not help you much in the long run.

The major decision that was made this weekend was that Roadtripperz.com is finally becoming a reality. We had the idea of going on a massive Road Trip around the world …

New Theme For Life of Justin

This weekend was another major step forward for LifeofJustin.com. I incorporated a new theme that I find to be much easier to use. It also allowed me to incorporate a new ad structure that I learned about in a book I recently read entitled “Get Google Ads For Free.”

The book basically says to create ad blocks such as the ones you see to the right, and then sell the. The money you make can them be used to purchase Google Adwords. Therefore you are getting traffic …

My Crazy Three Month Adventure

If you have not read my previous post titled The 3 Month Mark, it basically summed up the first 3 months I lived in Honolulu, Hawaii. At that point I had a good feel of what Hawaii was like and had done a lot of different things. Well today, February 22nd, marks exactly the 3rd month since I landed here in Phoenix, Arizona.

It has been a long and crazy adventure over the last three months that is hard to even summarize. I thought it would be easier to …

Blogger No More, WordPress is Here

If you haven’t noticed, a ton of construction was done today on the site. It is nowhere near done but it is definitly getting close to finished (not that websites are ever finished). I found it was time to move from Blogger to WordPress since it has so many more features. WordPress allows you to have categories, along with multiple pages. Plus the widgets available for WordPress make it easy to integrate everything into the blog.

As far as moving over, it was actually pretty easy to import my posts …

Blogging For A Living

When I first created this site, I had the intention of someday blogging for a living. What better way to make money than by working for yourself, writing, and sharing your knowledge with the world?

This site has come a long ways since it started and the last few months have been a huge turn for the better. I have completely redone the site and made the site much more usable. I am very close to getting rid of my day job and blogging as a source of income along …
