Startup Junkie Underground

"Making a Living as a Blogger"
The secret to turning your hobby into your career

 

When blogging first made its way onto the Web, it was viewed as an interesting hobby. Today, however, many people are using it as their primary income stream.

 

As an author of twenty business books and writer for many major science and business magazines, Dave Taylor has turned his gift for writing into a very profitable business venture.

 

An award-winning speaker, Dave is often courted to speak about the technology and techniques he employs in blogging, but rarely does he allow people to get an under-the-covers-glimpse of his own business operation.

 

Google's AdSense has proven to be one of his best revenue streams, but it is only one of the elements in a much more elaborate ad-playbook that Dave has assembled. As you’ll learn, he generates revenue through direct channels and indirect, with the mix offering a valuable diversification of income for his online publishing efforts.

 

Join us as we take an insightful look at the tricks and techniques for establishing significant revenue streams in the blogosphere.

Reinventing the World One Business at a Time

Startup entrepreneurs are a unique breed of people. Many are tortured by their ideas. They are driven by their needs to accomplish their visions, and this relentless desire to fulfill their dreams permeates virtually every aspect of their lives. And with the present economic climate as it is, many startup entrepreneurs have ruined their lives trying to succeed. They've ruined their marriages, gone bankrupt, lost their homes, and have generally made a mess out of their lives.

These people are our heroes. They will once again rise up from the depths of their depression and figure out a way to succeed. These are the people that will once again take center stage in the business world. The Startup Junkies Underground is all about helping these people succeed.

If you are an aspiring entrepreneur working on a startup business, an inventor trying to launch an invention, or a critical thinker wanting to launch a new movement, this event is for you.

No other group like this exists. If you can imagine a person standing up in front of the crowd saying, "Hi, my name is Bob, and I'm a startup junkie. And I'm damn proud to be here tonight." (Maybe not quite like that, but you get the picture.)
