My Million Dollar Year

Hello again everyone.

I’d like to make a clear distinction about the kind of stuff that’s going to be here.

I will never set up this site to be some simple advertisement for the dark, nasty corners of the internet. Unfortunately, most of the money to be made on the net are from others trying to make money, and that usually results in links to other simple get rich quick schemes.

But isn’t this a get rich quick scheme? 

I’d argue that it isn’t. Sure, the whole “million dollar” thing is thrown around a lot on the site–it’s even in the domain–but it’s more of a gimmick than anything else. Any revenue accumulated is just a nice bonus on top of the real project. That money, for the most part, also goes to reinvesting for future artistic projects. While it’d be nice, it’s not the motivation.

 What’s the real purpose then?

It’s a lot of things. Mostly an experiment. Partly a place for me to share my own view of the world. Somewhere to share the things I find artistic and interesting. All of that and so much more.  Stick around and you’ll see.

In other words, this isn’t going to turn into a billboard with links to things that no one is interested in–get rich ebooks, marketing junk, “free pills,” and all the junk that spam is made of.

What I will post will be artistic blogs, portfolios, pictures, movies, writing, and anything I find generally worth my own time.  If I wouldn’t spend my time looking at it, it won’t be posted on the site.

That being said, several of the contribution areas allow you to add a link if you contribute (like if you were going to buy me a drink). I’d encourage you to keep those links relevant as well (personal blogs, your flickr account, your online portfolio, etc are all great), but I have less control over those areas.

I suppose what I’m saying is that the main section of the site will always keep its integrity. Don’t worry about showing up and finding a giant billboard of links you’d never actually want to see. I’d gladly never reach my goal before selling out to that side of the net.
