Blog in progress, am I going in the right direction?
Hey guys I'm currently working on a blog about how people can earn money online, yes I know the competition is fierce for this but I believe I will succeed as long as I stay on the right track. I am looking for constructive feedback on my blog, all help is much appreciated.

My blog is; Helping Hawaii

You're using blogspot instead of wordpress. You're already going in the wrong direction. It would also probably help if your blog was local to your domain so it'd seem more professional.

And if you don't have a personal web domain and you plan on making money online, you're probably going in the wrong direction as well.

I've realized wordpress is a more promising host, I plan on using it on the international version of this blog, in the mean time blogger is working alright, I may consider transferring it all over to wordpress soon though.

I'm going to purchase a domain once the blog has earned enough to pay for one. I'm focusing on content at the moment before I start advertising on my website.

Thank you for your input on wordpress, it's something I've been considering, I'll do some additional research on it this weekend.

Why do you saying Blogspot is going in the wrong direction? Wordpress looks crappy, is overused, and is extremely vulnerable.

And you don't need a personal web domain to make money online... Blogspot has a thing so you can add ads to your blog right from their menus. Its extremely simple.

You need a personal domain to reach my goal, lol. I plan on earning $50,000 a month through my blogs, websites, affiliations, etc.

lol.

That's a goal, not a plan. Knowing the goal, what's the plan?

Get blog ranked #1 for make money online, compose 100+ helpful articles, youtube, writing articles, affiliate marketing through various personal websites, designing websites, selling stock photography.

I've only been into earning money online for the last 4 months, here's some numbers for you to look at.
1st month - $350
2nd month - $400
3rd month - $900
This month - $2,100

these are rounded up/down and so far I have only seen an increase in my earnings, and hopefully I'll continue to.

And no it is a plan, I'm highly motivated and don't give up that easily.

lol. Do you know anything about SEO? That's perhaps one of the most competitive keywords going around.
You want my feedback? I call bullshit. If you're making that sort of money you wouldn't be using Blogspot.

I'm just getting into blogging, the majority of that money I make designing websites for local companies. Yes I do know a pretty decent amount about SEO, but not enough to get ranked 1st for that keyword that's for sure, I'll most likely end up having a highly qualified professional handle the SEO for the blog. Like I said this is just the rough draft right now I'm focusing on building my content, I haven't looked into targeting traffic for my blog all that much. Once I have my content developed I'll start worrying about building traffic to my blog and ranking with Google. I'm not even up to the point where I should even start thinking about that I know I have a long way to go with this project.

The only reason I've earned so much this month is mainly because of a $1,000 design gig I had this month, and a payment from the wix affiliate program.

God you're retarded. How am I such a skid? And who gives a flying fuck if I download eBooks? I like reading, is that such a big problem?

You're missing the entire point here, skiddo. It's not that you unnecessarily download eBooks, it's that you don't learn a single thing from them. You download hacking books: you don't know how to "hack." You download programming eBooks: you don't know how to program at all. You download science eBooks: pray-tell the little you know about this.

At best, you're simply a skiddy. If I were to explain succinctly how exactly you're a skiddy, I'd have to write out an entire novel.

I don't download any hacking eBooks. The one I do download, I normally delete after noticing that I know almost everything in them. If anything, I use them as a reference. Programming eBook-wise, how would you even know if I know how to program or not? Its not like I live on LG and post everything about me here. And for science-wise, I just enjoy reading them. I like having knowledge, and holding info in my hands. Whether I try it or not? That's my own business, and I don't need to if I don't want to. I hold info in my head, and that's where I like it.

>Isn't a complete skid and idiot.

>Implying it isn't blatantly obvious that you can't program.

>Claims he likes possessing knowledge despite having little to none and that knowledge is just there for keepsake and not application.
>Isn't in turn retarded.

>Implies he has any form of significant knowledge "in his head."

Don't make me laugh. Be gone, kid.

In 99.99% of instances you can't do anything with an IP address.
This server's IP is 74.53.92.50. Go hack it (firing up LOIC doesn't count ;))

I'm saying Personal computers, not servers. Also I don't enjoy DDoSing, I feel that its a pussy and noob-y way to attack something. And I feel personal computers are easier to attack via IP address because you can run Metasploit on it, or hack it through one of the programs they've installed (Most programs are FILLED with vulnerabilities), or something of the like. Also, I'm going to try attacking the LG auth and see what I can do, so you can harden it in case LG gets its programs leaked.

I've already publicly identified weaknesses with the auth and, when I can be bothered I'll strengthen it up. Really though, there's only a single point of entry, so when I firm it up there's going to be next to nothing you can do.

Well is it possible that somehow someone could just bounce back an "affirmative, this person is a UGB/UGS/UGG member!" message to the program without it actually reaching the auth server? Or is there some thing that randomizes it or something so it can't be faked?

The server has measures in place to protect against that sort of bypass. It's ultimately up to the discretion of the client though.

Domains are like 12 dollars for a .com for a year.
