Just hit "Publish" for the second of my new Make Money Online websites. Finished Parts 3 & 4 of Mike Omar's book, How to Make Money Online: Learn how to make money from home with my step-by-step plan to build a $5000 per month passive income website portfolio (of ... each) (THE MAKE MONEY FROM HOME LIONS CLUB) and his Make Money from Home Lions Club website.  After Part 4, the websites are complete.

FransVictoryGarden.us, "A blog of Fran's Victory Garden and a discussion of resources" and RCGoerlichandCoInc.biz, "follow Bob Goerlich as he finds how to Make Money Online" need LOTS of Polish and Promotion.  But, the first two sites are down the ways and launched, wish them luck.

Let me bore you with tales of web creation in the late '90s, the Paleo-WorldWideWeb. Today you get yourself a spiffy site in an hour or so using WordPress. In the old days, it was two miles to school, up hill both ways...

I used MicroSoft products at work so it was easier for me to get started with the MS toolset. The MS environment consisted in IIS, Active Server Pages and MS SQL Server.

When was the last time you heard the word "Baud"? People set their browsers to not load images, a different world. Anyway, I didn't know what to do, but no one did, so I started.

The first web page I did was the kind that hangs off the ISP's website in my user folder. Did the HTML in note pad, again, a different world. My first site was "Win Big Prizes".

I remember my lede, "Only Big Prizes, no mouse pads, no tee shirts, no Teach Yourself Esperanto courses". Anyway, didn't make any money, but I did learn HTML.

The hurdle after the technical is where does the content come from? I latched on to the Directory model. Everyone publishing wants exposure, so I could add value by classifying and grouping other's efforts into a more useful format. I used to enjoy the serendipity of looking at the books in the library near the book I was looking for, I would try to replicate that on the web.
