The number one reason why I have not made a substatial amount of money online is because:

I HAVE TOO MANY WEBSITES!!!

It is impossible to focus and give each site the attention that it deserves.  One thing that I have learned quite a bit about over the last year, is that making money online with a website is:

1) It is not “easy”.

2) Does not happen overnight

3) And it takes real WORK.

You have to be completely dedicated to a site, the same way that a business owner is dedicated to a business.  And as a site grows in popularity and success, it only becomes more demanding and time consuming.  At some point, you have to decide which ones you want to grow and which sites you need to prune.

As a result of these lessons that I’ve learned, I have decided to retire this blog.  As much fun as it has been sharing my many online mistakes, I just can’t keep up the pace and trying to juggle this many proverbial balls.  I have also decided to sell some of my sites / domains and try and focus on continuing to develop and grow the websites that I am really passionate about and the ones that are actually making me money.

The other reason I have decided to retire this blog is because, to be honest, I have started making some pretty good money online.   In fact,  within the past 30 days, I have had nearly $3200 deposited in my account as a result of my affiliate sites!  Not too bad for a guy who makes no money online.  I am also consistently starting to make some decent Adsense revenue as well, all with ZERO advertising.

I am sorry for those who are disappointed at this decision and appreciate the comments that I’ve received from people who have enjoyed some of my more humorous posts like:

• The time I let a drunk guy publish on my beer blog
• The results of creating a online video with little sleep
• Starting a website with something you know little about

Thanks for your understanding and I wish all of you the best with your online endeavors.

Sincerely,

“Papa Bear” Paul.
