Make Money Worthwhile!

First I should apologize for not updating this site much recently. I’m spreading myself thin, and have been working on http://hosthamstercrank.com lately, and on a sketchy web access (felt like dial up really). I know now that I need to optimize my images more. I’d been defaulting to png 24 because it’s lossless compression so my art looks as good online as it does in the full res master file – but the image size is large for online. It’s a lot of work to configure the shopping cart for hosthamstercrank. Just so you know, it’s a site that sells the webhosting I use for THIS site. I can offer free metered web hosting (yes, FREE!) and will have an advanced hosting plan with unlimited hard drive space and a professional plan with unlimited drive space and bandwidth. Yes, I know the hosting for kitschchaos.com isn’t the very best, BUT this is becoming a high traffic site (even if it is largely online marketers after backlinks) and while my host is struggling to meet the needs of this site – THEY ARE NOT BILLING ME EXTRA!

Most websites never become larger than small. And those that become popular sites, too often they become too expensive to maintain before they make money enough to pay for adequate servers and bandwidth – and such GREAT websites … they DIE. So the hosting I provide has insurance, you will not be billed extra no matter how popular and successful your site becomes! And ecommerce people, the name of the game is to have a good domain name with a subdomain for every product or affiliate product you sell (use an iframe if you want to use someone else’s html)! That way you’re not using url re-directs that email clients tag as spam or a security risk! Your own domain also gives you a lot more credibility!

So, how did I go from being a part time employee barely making ends meet to owning a web host company? That’s what this post is about after all! And the answer is a shift in psychology more than anything else. I fell into some extra money. I had begged and borrowed money to secure housing in Ithaca NY, which isn’t that much cheaper than NYC. A simple room in an apartment shared with others can be 6-800 a month, and there’s often a demand for first month, last month AND security. So, and I suppose I must credit sigil magic for this, I secured an apartment share for $350/month – with only first month demanded! And it’s the entire basement, 2 rooms, one with a sink! So i can have a bedroom and a ART STUDIO! That’s a big deal. I also had extra money. And I used THAT to secure the ability to resell website hosting, for any price I want – without limits to bandwidth or hardrive space (back up a PC!). (It’s not science fiction, hard drives are cheap and bandwidth has to be bought in such enormous capacities it’s almost impossible to use up).

But I was able to get the ability to sell webhosting – because I looked at what was possible with the money I had! And understand it’s was not a LOT of money, and I still have to furnish an apartment, get ram for my computer, get a digital camera, get an ipod touch( to run skype and evade cell charges entirely), get a new laptop, buy ganj, get new wheels for my skateboard, pay off my gym,get good food..etc. So it’s not like the money I had couldn’t have been entirely accounted for!

And the truth is that most of us live paycheck to paycheck in virtual poverty – no matter how much money we make! We compare ourselves to others that have more than us, and feel deprived. And this psychology is one where money can never actually be appreciated for what it can accomplish! It’s the engine of greed in a negative sense, because the other guy has more than I do – so “I’m not good enough!”. Many people of wealth (more than myself) cannot imagine how ANYONE exists on less than 100k a year, for example. And this colors politics as well, with people earning over 200k a year feeling pinched by what are some of the lowest taxes in the world (in the here and now), US taxes.

Look into Micro Loans, google the term. See what is possible in the world with $20, or $50. Human being can generate lifelong sustaining businesses with such small sums! In America, maybe not – but a few hundred can buy basic silk screen equipment, a musical instrument-  a web site – or in my case – A WEB HOSTING BUSINESS!

Yes, you can’t do much with you have right now, it’s almost all accounted for! But you CAN save a little money! Right now you CAN do that. And in the course of a year, money will wax and wane – and when money comes to you, save it or direct it to something that might make you MORE money!

Like perhaps your own website! You know you want one. And soon http://hosthamstercrank.com will be ready to give you one NOW! Well, not now because I have some configuring and testing to do. But please forgive my absence from this site so I can get it ready. When it is ready you’ll have NO EXCUSE! I’ll offer free basic webhosting, and it comes with an online site builder with 15k stock art images! No excuse – and for less than a cup of coffee a day, you can have unlimited bandwidth and server space!
