Hello readers!
Well 2 days to go before I leave for Glasgow. Anyone new to this blog should know I am going to write this for a year and share my experiences throughout the recession we are now (officially) in.

At the beginning of this blog I said my first priority was to find work by the start of February, which I aim to do in Glasgow, my second priority was to create several revenue streams to ensure this doesn't happen to me again. I will keep you informed on all the ideas I come up with, successes and failures.

I am looking at 'genuine' ways of making money on the Internet.

My first achievement was to place some google ads on my blog page, which you actually get paid for. Again, I didn't know how this was done, but by looking up 'google AdSense' and following the instructions they are now generating some cash, not much but it proves it can work. The next stage for me is to generate traffic to my blog, how do I do this? I don't know yet, but will find out and you will be the first to know.

I will let you know at the end of each month how much money I can generate through the Internet. There are several other ideas I will be looking at in the coming months and will share them on here. If I do make some money, then so can you.

So far I have not outlaid any money.

Anyway, if you like me are a victim of the recession keep going and good luck.
John
