Is this how the world is changing?
It has been more than six months since my last blogpost. I could give you all kinds of reasons for that, but simply: I didn’t feel that there was something worth while to write about. Lately however, I’ve come to notice a few small cracks in the world of blogging, social media and bloggers who [...]

2 November 2011
Hi all, Last weekend I finally started out on my “passive income” dream as hinted at in my previous post. I built my very first niche site. In Dutch, and on a search term that gets just under 1k local monthly searches with a CPC above $1. A related search term gets 6k locals a [...]

Recently I started looking at my blog again, after not being very involved over the past months. Things certainly have changed, in my life and on the internet. The first thing I noticed is that Twitter definitely isn’t what it used to be. Not only because Adobe Air stopped supporting linux, but also because there [...]

More Twitter followers gives you more social status, a lot of Facebook friends will make you seem popular. If you’re “friends” with enough people you’re bound to become a success. You just need a few more… Impossibilities of networks It’s quite impossible for humans to have active social connections with more than one hundred (yes, [...]

While rereading one of my favorite books there was a line in there that I can’t get out of my mind: Thinking about yourself gets in the way of what you are trying to do – J.J. Gibbs I think it actually sums up all the issues I’m having. Issues with education, issues with blogging, [...]

11 April 2011
How long have you been saying you’re going to do something. And did you actually ever get around to do it? Or are you still saying you’ll do it but actually… Sounds familiar? It does to me, unfortunately. As hinted at earlier, my blogposts are getting a bit more personal, but it’s something I need [...]

Little over a week ago I had an e-mail conversation with Corbett about online ventures and ideas. He dropped a few bombshell questions that you should have a solid answer to when you’re about to start something. These were: Do people want or need help with “what-you-want-to-help-people-with” Are you uniquely qualified to help people with [...]

28 March 2011
You’ve probably noticed that I’ve been very inactive lately and I think it’s time to let you know why this is. I could say “I’ve been busy” or “I got more important things to do” but that doesn’t really cut it. The fact of the matter is that I’ve started to have second thoughts about [...]

A few days ago, Henri Juntilla tweeted if anyone would like to have a guestpost. An offer I couldn’t refuse. To make it even better, Henri asked me if there was a specific topic I had in mind. All I gave him was a quote that has been on my mind a lot latetly to [...]

9 February 2011
There are so many blogs out there it's almost unbelievable. When will we reach critical mass? When will it become so dense that we just give up? When I started blogging in 2009 things were a bit different. I've seen a few great bloggers starting out and watched them soar. But what got them there?
