image - brianDhawkins.com Is Shutting DownYes my friends, my personal blog is coming to an end. Just to clarify, that’s this domain only, I’m alive and well and here to stay as far as my overall online presence. I have been re-evaluating things and it’s time for some big changes. I’m going to make time for my other blog, social networks, commenting on friend’s blogs, guest blogging, article marketing, building niche sites and online business consulting.

I’m not sure if I should just delete the content and add a place marker for the index page or leave the old internal pages and replace just the index page. My main concern are leaving those kind enough to link to me with a bunch of dead links. I’ll have to give some thought to it. In the mean time I switched over to a different theme for faster loading.

Either way this will be my last post here but I’m not going anywhere. I still have the Extreme Ezine for now and I’m getting rid of a bunch of sites, domains, lists and anything I feel is costing more time than the profit is worth. No, I didn’t say that backwards ;) I was just telling my friend Brad that I have come to the conclusion there is plenty of time for everything, it’s just that time is out-pacing me. Time moves too fast. I’ll need to alter my tasks to build wealth at a faster pace. Either that or your tax dollars can support me as an old man lol

I just handed over the keys to HotBlogTips.com and in the next couple months I will be doing similar things with sites and domains just too good to let go. Others will just disappear into the shadows.

Soon I will start writing more content for my blog and niche sites while promoting them with article marketing. I’ll spend more time commenting on your blogs and hopefully find the time to finally start guest posting. I’ll try to give ExtremeEzine.com the time it deserves and if I can’t she’ll go up for sale.

I do well with my Ad Tracking all paid membership site but it requires a dedicated server. That’s a pretty big expense and a lot of responsibility. I’ll clean that site up a bit and increase promotions and make a few adjustments. If that gets in the way it will be tossed on the chopping block as well

I was talking to a successful businessman at the beginning of the year and he said, I’m paraphrasing here, “business is about profit and you can’t get attached to it. Promote what sells and drop what doesn’t. Don’t get romantic and keep things because you get attached to them. They will drag you down“. I think he is right. I’ve let myself become too romantic and let things drag me down.

So my personal blog says Goodbye so I can say Hello more often and hopefully move on too the next step of the profitability ladder.

I want to thank my friends that have taken the time to comment and support my efforts. All of your time, thoughts and links have been appreciated. I will leave this post up for a while and then toss up some lame place marker page until I decide how to use the domain.
