Bursted Bubbles

So most of the world is looking for that 'get rich quick' scheme, right?

So there I was, monitoring the five people that visit my blog and thinking pretty highly of myself. Granted I could most likely name them all, but I was thinking I am getting better at posting regularly so perhaps it was time to monetize my blog. Now what this means is I allow someone to spam you with ads on my blog and then I get paid for them. I figured since you are regular readers and I love you, you wouldn't mind at all!

So I did the deed and put the adds up just before my last blog. And I sat there for an hour watching to see if or when the money would start rolling in. After ten visitors, nothing... then twenty. Still it said I had earned nothing. So I was thinking, perhaps twenty-five is the magic number... and I bugged people to go to my blog until I could see what twenty-five people did and sure enough! I earned money!

However, my elation was rather short lived because as soon as I saw a number there, it registered that I had earned a penny. Thats right, all the friends I have in the world visiting my blog makes me one penny. So very sad. I apparently was not going to become a genius millionaire overnight with this one.

On a side note, you wont be able to see this because I corrected it, but I just totally spelled genius and millionaire completely wrong. So I guess the genius part is out the window.

In other news, I do have someone visiting my blog from Uruguay which is pretty cool. And dont worry, thanks to spell check, I spelled Uruguay wrong also. At least I'm consistent!

I would like to start getting to know some of the people that read this blog so 1) comment and let me know if you are from Uruguay so I know who you are and 2) let me know if you have ever tried a 'get rich quick' scheme. I'm interested to see if anyone else is a big dreamer like me.

P.S. I'm not sure if comments get me more money... its a test! We shall find out!
