These days, it seems like everyone and their brother is making money on the web. I’ve been blogging on this site since March of 2003. That’s a whole lot of content. Unlike my more commercially-minded pals, I’ve always resisted putting banner ads and such on the site. My web guy tells me that have the most web space he’s ever seen from any client. Between the VOD (video on demand) files, all of the Sundance podcasts and how-to filmmaking information, and all of the other blogs I have, my web needs are a bandwidth nightmare. In fact, in January, when I typically blog for Cinema Minima for Sundance, there have been years that we have shut the server down.

So, while I have a ton of content, have hundreds of thousands of hits every month, and a pile o’ media downloaded, I make no money on this adventure. Apparently, I just share information and blog for the sheer joy of it.

While I was doing the blogging thing, I spent a lot of time researching all of the money-making web options. After years of researching the whole process, reading tons of posts and even a few books (like Tim Ferris’ FOUR HOUR WORK WEEK) on the subject, it seemed like there was a critical mass of information available that could be streamlined for anyone who was thinking of pursuing the same sort of path as I had been contemplating.

Jeniece, Jonathan, Brandi, Pamela Jo and I have also tested a number of different tools, programs and such. So we decided to share everything we’re finding on a different website. To find out what we’ve learned, what’s been successful and what’s failed, go to Make Money, Work Anywhere. Maybe we’ll be able to save you some time and money.
