My brief sojourn into writing posts for beginners has generated no response, so I’m dropping that unless you tell me otherwise. I haven’t posted in a while, in part because I was busy moving, and part because I’m not sure what to say.

What should I talk about? How I made my first million? — Maybe next week, I’m sure that’s coming, but it hasn’t happened yet. But I have been earning a living from the Internet for the past ten years or so, and that should count for something.

I centered my efforts on personal interests (ajmorris.com) thinking that would be the road to profitability. Everyone says so. Do what you love. That didn’t work. Trying to sell anything to genealogists is like charging for sex — so many people are willing to give it away for free, it’s hard to find a reason worth paying for.

So I’m leaving it up to you. What should I say? I have learned a lot in recent years about making money, and am doing much better than I did when I was only an on-line genealogist. But I’ve not yet gone beyond a decent income and into great wealth. I see it coming. I have a plan, and so far it working better than I could have hoped.

But I’m also in the position of having dozens of web sites, of varying profitability. This is one of the more labor-intensive and least profitable. Should it continue? If so, what direction should we go?  Leave a comment on this post to have your say in the future of this site.
