Have you followed the movements? In joining the "U Drop I Follow" and "I Follow" movements, I join a wide range of blogs that have decided to help their fellow bloggers.
Joining the "U Drop I Follow" movement has allowed me to expand my Entrecard network of friends simply because when I earn credits I return the favor. This movement has been increasing dramatically with over 270+ blogs joining in and showing their support by adding a badge signifying their involvement. As for the "I Follow" movement, the amount of blogs that have followed this trend is endless. There are lists developed by several bloggers that include hundreds of blogs that are passing "link juice" to other blogs. These movements have their advantages and disadvantages, but there is nothing wrong with giving them a try.

blogging e-book” or “blogging e-book” or anything you find fitting. Be sure to let me know what your url was so that I don’t miss it. (5 points)
The last method is to let Enkay know that you’ve downloaded and read the e-book (1 point). This is based on the honesty method so there isn’t any way to check on this but please be honest about it.

Contest ends October 15th.

Enkay talks about that too! Pick up his e-book today, you won’t be disappointed.
This month’s numbers were better than I expected. Earnings hit a new high, traffic stats have increased, and this blog is finally getting some exposure due to the increasing amount of contests in the blogosphere. Though I managed to earn some money online, I also have been able to plan out my network (more info coming soon) and talk to several bloggers about contests for this site. I continue to add features to this blog, but I’m still nowhere near complete. My earnings are as follows:
Total Amount Earned From Investment Services:$90.00
I’ve decided to hold off on investing until I can gather some more cash to put into my investment account to allow myself to trade more. I should be able to resume this around late October/November.
Total Amount Earned:$90.00
The majority of my income came from paid blogging services and contest prizes. Some of you may be thinking “You didn’t earn as much from your blogger services this month as you usually do.” Well PayU2Blog’s next pay period is next Friday and if I were to have received the payment today then the amount would change dramatically. I have several projects which should boost my income next month or at least keep things stable. I’ve also started several niche sites which should give me the ability to write for more income.
October 2008 Outlook
Looking at the stats for September, I noticed that my subscriber count, Alexa Ranking, Technorati Ranking, Technorati Authority, Quantcast Rank, Compete Ranking and IZEA Rank have all improved. Finally, Google’s latest update has added a pagerank to my beloved site by awarding The Daily Dollar Report with a Pagerank 2! I have been hard at work with school, but I have put together some plans for my business venture to launch beginning of 2009. The Daily Dollar Report is my baby, but stay tuned to see the growth of this blog and others to come from my network. Until then continue to learn, earn, and report daily!
