Nintendo Drops the Ball with Their New Console: Wii U
Hey there. I just wanted to get my initial reaction down before going in depth. Nintendo really dropped the ball here. Their new console, the Wii U, is meant for the more hard core gamers while retaining their youthful fans. Most third party devolpers will provide games that are already available on PS3 and Xbox 360 for the Wii U but I cannot see how it will appeal to hardcore gamers. Nintendo has the reputation of "child's play" and it will be difficult to shed that and if this was their asnwer for the hard core gamers, it is an epic fail.

Metallman's Reverie: Blog Income for April 2011
Hey there. April is in the the books and it's time to report on how well on (or off) pace we are in reaching my $1700 goal for the year. Let's take a look at the numbers:
Mylikes - $9.74
DragonBlogger - $9.41
CMFads - $1.88
Blogsvertise - $132.00
Total for April - $153.03
YTD Total - $652.65 (+$85.98 ahead of pace)
Not too shabby, my friends. I'm glad that I'm still exceeding my monthly goal of $141.66, even though it's just barely. I'm still disappointed in my lack of participation in dragonblogger.com. It's an awesome and I've been given an awesome opportunity to be an author there but I just can't seem to capitalize on it just yet. I have been dealing with some personal issues and it has eaten up my time to write articles. I have been fortunate enough to be offered what I like to call "insta-post" and that's what's keeping my name on DB.com at the moment.
I am a little disappointed that I didn't cash anything out for Izea for April, but those funds will be cashed out in May which will make May a pretty good month. I also received a huge offer from an unexpected source so I'm hoping that May will be the best month of the year so far.
The giveaways have been going great. Because I'm made my fair share of money from this site, I've been giving a monthly prize away to my readers. I'm hoping that you guys are enjoying that and take as a big thank you for stopping by and reading.
So there you have it. My online source of income revealed! It's not much to toot about but hey, it's better than nothing. Was thinking of using some of that money for some Lakers finals tickets.... but that rant is for another time. lol Feel free to check out my affiliates at the links above and hope that you'll be able to make some spare change online the way I did. Later!

Metallman's Reverie: Blog Income for March 2011
Hey there. March is in the the books and it's time to report on how well on (or off) pace we are in reaching my $1700 goal for the year. Let's take a look at the numbers:
Mylikes - $13.14
DragonBlogger - $13.96
Sponsored Tweets - $23.00
Blogsvertise - $97.50
Total for March - $147.60
YTD Total - $499.62 (+$74.62 ahead of pace)
Not too bad, right? I managed to make a little more than my estimated monthly average of $141.66. That increased my YTD total to stay on course to exceed my $1700 goal for the year. Blogsvertise continues to be my bread and butter and it may finally take Izea's spot as my top sponsor. I am still getting offers from Izea, but I haven't hit the cashout mark just yet. Also, I am happy that I have earned a few bucks from my articles on DragonBlogger.com but am disappointed that I missed the 4 article quota (yet again) for the month to earn a percentage of the income that is earned from the site.
Overall, another solid month for Metallman's Reverie. YES! It is possible to make money online! It's not easy, but it's definitely possible. And because I've been able to be semi-successful at blogging, I started a monthly give a way. I just shipped out the first prize today and stay tuned for April's prize. Also, I'm thinking of revamping my logo/avatar. Maybe modernize it a bit. If you guys know anyone that is willing to make a new Metallman logo for me, send them my way. I'm willing to pay cash or free advertising (maybe both?) depending on the quality of the design. Thanks friends for all your support! If you are blogger and looking to make a few bucks, check out my links above and check it out for yourselves. Tell them that Metallman sent ya! Later!

Metallman's Reverie: Blog Income for February 2011
Hey there. February is in the the books and it's time to report on how well on (or off) pace we are in reaching my $1700 goal for the year. Let's take a look at the numbers:
Yahoo Contributor Network - $1.85
CMFAds - $2.25
MyLikes - $5.84
DragonBlogger.com - $17.00
Sponsored Tweets - $25.25
Blogsvertise - $64.00
Total for Feb- $116.19
YTD Total - $352.02 (+$68.69 ahead of pace)
Not too bad. I failed to meet the minimum of $141.66 this month but my good January definitely carried me into the plus side this month. I am trying some new things to see if they'll increase traffic and income and I was pleasantly surprised that I received a payment from YCN. They'll pay based on impressions so for every 1000 page veiws, you'll get paid $1.50. I have not been as active as I would like but it's nice to know that someone out there is still reading some of the articles I published there. I also received payment for my work on Dragon Blogger. My first payment there and I'm hoping that more will follow.
Overall, a solid month. I fell short by only $25 so that's not too bad. I'm trying things out and doing well in the online community. If you believe that you're ready to try out some of online services that I use, check out the links above. Tell them that Metallman sent you. lol Best of luck! Later!

Metallman's Reverie: Blog Income for 2010
Hey there. 2010 is gone and we are kick starting 2011 with last year's income report. A common question that I get asked is, "How do I make money online?" The answer I usually provide is, "With a lot of work!" but to be honest, that hard work is not to make money, but to build an audience that will actually visit your site, providing you with that opportunity to make money through ads, page views, and sponsored posts. Once you've managed to have a small following, then you can turn your focus on earnings. Here's some of the highlights (and lowlights) of my year:
So there you have it. A total of $1,074.95 made from my modest, little blog. Not bad, no? Short of my $1,500 goal for the year, but that's not stopping me from increasing my goal yet again. $1,700.00 for 2011!!! Whoo hoo! Let's do this! Thanks, friends, for making it happen. Later!
- October was my best month. Total income that month was $161.37
- May was my worst month. Total income that month was $2.80
- IZEA, Inc. (Sponsored Tweets, SocialSpark, Payperpost) was my my biggest money maker. Total income for the year was $563.76.
- Mylikes was an up and coming earner for my Twitter account. I started using it in June and made $110.01 for the year.
- Blogsvertise was an up and coming earner for my blog. I started using it in October and made $187.00 for the year.
- Total income totaled $1,074.95. Well short of my goal of $1,500.00

A Part of the Dragon Blogger Team
Hey there. Not too long ago, I wrote about a gig that I got writing video game reviews. Well, yesterday, my first review was published and now that I know for sure that I am on the team, I would like to happily announce that I am now part of the Dragon Blogger team! I've watched Justin, the owner at www.Dragonblogger.com, since I started my site and have seen him grow his site and have used his site as my personal benchmark. Now, I'm nowhere near as successful as he is but he does provide some awesome tips on all things tech, blogging, and SEO. When he sent out an open invitation for writers to help expand his site, I had to jump on the opportunity. Now, my very first article on Dragon Blogger has been published. And the best part? It's gotten some pretty positive comments. So check out my review of Bioshock 2 here, friends and let me know what you think. Later!
