Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?

For the last hour or so, I have been wading through my list of bookmarks deleting many of them.

More specifically, affiliate programs, ad networks, and ‘get paid to’ sites that were not doing any good for me to keep around. I’ve not only been deleting the bookmarks, but also trying to find out how to close my accounts and collect any outstanding payments (which I’m sure will be futile).

I've decided to slow down on making money from online ventures. I still have to pay off the bank, but I won't be going overboard from now on, trying to make money hand over fist.

Really, my wife wants me to stop trying completely.

I suppose I may have let this get a bit out of hand, and it really is time that I took a step back and tried to streamline everything. Seriously, doing that has many benefits.

Look at it this way: some of the leading affiliate marketers say you should diversify your sources of income so that you have a more reliable cash flow.

Have I ever followed the 'rules' of blogging? Huh?

I have thought about this, and it's more like I'm applying the 80/20 principle to my blogging ventures.

I've decided to hold on to a few programs that are really working for me. For example, NeverblueAds, Market Leverage, and PayPerPost aren’t going anywhere. In fact, they will be my main three programs. I’m only sticking with one ‘Pay Per Click’ site, and that is Pay2Surf. Other than that, not much will be remaining. I may still do some freelance gigs from Digital Point folks, but this is no longer going to be my exit to an early retirement. Frankly, I doubt I’ll live to see my ‘real’ retirement. Oh well, that’s just life.

Anyway, that’s just an update and a couple thoughts on trimming the fat from my marketing tools.
