As most of you know, I recently purchased this blog from David Shaw, so you may be unsure about what direction the blog is going as I never really spoke about it in my announcement post.

First off, this blog was launched as a ‘Making Money Online’ blog and thats something I want to continue. It will not be targeted to bloggers exclusively and many of the money making methods I will talk about will not be related to blogs at all.

There are hundreds of ‘Making Money Online’ blogs on the net today. There are a few great ones but generally speaking I think that a large percentage of them are giving bad advice and most of them are not actually making money through the web, which in turn leads to a case of the blind leading the blind. There are many who subscribe to the idea that you can Fake it til you Make it which may be one reason why so many of them sell their blog before they make any kind of return from it.

I’m not trying to be mean by saying this as I made many of the same mistakes they are making years ago. Just like anything else in life, there is a learning curve and sometimes the best way to learn is to make mistakes and learn from them.

So what you can expect on ProTycoon in the future?

I promise to be as honest as I can in my posts. There are things I have a lot of experience with on the web and there are things which I’m still unsure of. For example, I used AdWords when it first came out but I’ve only recently started testing with it again so I’m still wet behind the ears ie. I’m still learning.

Also, I will put my hands up at this stage and admit that I haven’t made millions from the web. I have in the past made 5 figures monthly but after selling most of my portfolio to go travelling my income is lower. However, I’ve been running websites for close to 9 years now and have been self employed for the last 4 or 5 and have picked up a lot of experience in many areas.

So what can you expect from ProTycoon? Well I won’t be telling you all to start commentating on do-follow blogs and I probably won’t be writing many ‘10 ways to do this and that’ type posts either (not that there’s anything wrong with those types of posts, I write them on other blogs!). What I will be doing is showing you how I make money on the web, show you examples of sites I own which are making money, share my successes, my failures, my ups and my downs. I will also pass on design, coding, and SEO tips from time to time too.

By sharing my experiences with you all I have no doubt that I will learn from all of you too. As I said, there are still some areas of making money on the web which I don’t have a lot of experience with.

Due to my schedule, I aim to write about 3 good posts per week so please subscribe so you don’t miss out. If there is anything you would like covered on ProTycoon then please let me know. Likewise, if you have any questions about any of this please leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer you when I can

Good Luck,
Kevin
