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...

Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary . UPDATE: Before you read any further or especially link to this old list, please check out "Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007" by clicking here! ~ Thanks, PAULA NEAL MOONEY by Paula Neal Mooney One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor. 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. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte...

Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007

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...

† Tissa Godavitarne - Scam? Hoax? Or Internet Marketing Genius? Read these reviews...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
