I updated my music album sales page. I really like how it turned out, I think it looks more professional. I’ve been advertising this page in several places: Free Traffic Bar, ScreenSwarm, Sweeva, Traffic Swarm, Traffic Splash and a bunch of other traffic exchanges.

Job Worries

Bryce — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:08:27 +0000

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am. I work from home. I have flexible hours, I only have to work 15 hours a week to earn a living. I’ve had problems in the past holding a job for more then 2 months. This job is a keeper, I’ve been working for my Dad since 2005.

But I’m scared, I realize I won’t be able to work at this job for the rest of my life. And, the idea of a “normal” job is terrifying to me. Eventually, I’m going to have to find some other way to make a living. I started saving money, thats a start

I talked this over with my Dad, he gave me some ideas on how to make money online:
- Sell musical loops, intro’s, songs on a website like http://istockphoto.com
- Sell pre-made web designs on a website like http://templatemonster.com
- Sell a package of samples for music production on my website or through another service.

Another idea is making money from Distant Empires. But, I have no idea how to properly sell and market a video game.

I haven’t figured out how to make money from selling music albums. I have a few sales but not enough to cover what I paid to put music on iTunes.

Don’t worry! I love music, I’ll continue to make music whether I make money or not.

Where do I Work?

A question people ask me is “Where do you work?”. I don’t have a normal job so I sometimes struggle with this question. Writing something down can help me organize my thoughts.

I work for my Dad. He owns several Internet Marketing websites: Free Traffic Bar, Internet One System, Resale Rights Hosting, and ScreenSwarm.

My work activities include:
- Answering support tickets.
- Website moderation: People submit websites to ScreenSwarm, I check these sites to make sure they follow our rules.
- Updating website content.
- Graphic design – making websites, headers, banners, buttons, ecovers, software boxes, etc…
- Video tutorials.
- Anything my Dad asks me to do.

Games I’ve been Playing Recently

I used to have so much fun playing Minecraft but I can’t get back into it. I’m tired of exploring and building. Currently the only point of Minecraft is to build and explore. I wish there was a fun multiplayer mode where you defend/siege a castle or play through some sort of rpg. Oh well!

Games I’ve been playing Recently:

I’ve been playing a game similar to Minecraft called Ace of Spades (basically minecraft with guns). The point of Ace of Spades is to capture the enemy intel. You can build walls to protect you from gunfire and dig tunnels under the enemy. Its pretty fun!
Another game I’ve been playing is Minions. Its a multiplayer flash game where you pick one of 5 unique tanks and destroy the enemy towers.
Finally, I’ve been playing Savage 2, this is an rtsfps (real time strategy first person shooter). One player is a commander with a play style similar to Starcraft while the rest of the players are the units. This game is amazing, and its free! I wish I could find more games like it.
