Noel Gourdin Official Fan Website: Follow your gut when it comes to setting up new websites...



Noel Gourdin's Website: How I followed my gut and got blessed...





Last summer, I set up this Noel Gourdin fan website as soon as I heard his beautiful, soulful "The River" song on XM radio.

Noel Gourdin's The River is one of those songs that's so different, you think it's a remake that you've heard before.

That's one way, at least, I know that the song's gonna be a hit.




Of course, God led me to success


When it comes to setting up websites, this cyber world can be pretty fierce and competitive.

Many times it helps to go against the grain, or go right with the grain, if that's where the Holy Spirit is leading you.

Last Friday I was amazed to see my normal single-digit-hit stats for Noel Gourdin's website start climbing.

I wondered why.

In the meantime, I cleaned up the site that I'd neglected for a little while and seized the opportunity to pitch his only Mp3 of "The River" that I could find for sale on Amazon and iTunes.




Noel Gourdin's song played on the radio...


Pretty soon, a visitor told me that Noel Gourdin's song had been played on The Steve Harvey Morning Show, and that's why it and my fan site started blowing up.

Today Noel Gourdin -- a guy so unpopular last summer that he took time to respond to my MySpace email and left me a comment -- is back on Google's Hot Trends list at #14 and steadily gaining popularity.

My lesson was to heed those desires of my heart and follow my bliss, even if it goes against what the online "experts" may or may not say.

Today I've got a hankering to start another couple of sites that stats don't necessarily bear witness to the fact that they'll be well-trafficked.

But I think I'll start them anyway and pray...

If you've got a website idea burning in your soul, give it a try.

I just read about some 6th-grade girl who started a website that's very popular right now, matching up pets with different owners.

"Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4


Do I delight myself in you, God?

Man, I hope so...

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net.

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
