How I am making money online

In October of 2008 I created my first real (non-free) website, Sailing and Such. My intentions were to help other sailors and information that I had been looking hard for, easier to find. Mainly, this information was about sailboat project, sailboat maintenance and anything to do with sailboat work.
Once I created the website, people started visiting and complimenting the site and saying what a great idea it was to have a lot ofthat kind of information in one place. I really enjoyed the comments and they made me work harder and make the website larger and larger.
Then, I started reading up on making money online and I registered for Google Adsense which was a great decision. I wasnt getting alot of traffic to my website so I really havnt made all that much money in the first three months but its a start. Making any money online is a great thing to me and the website is something I do not have to actually "do" to make money, it just does it on its own.
Now, I am venturing into something called PayPerPost where I plan to post articles on my blogs about certain products and stuff, and get paid for it. We will see how it works!
My dream is create a steady income online so that I can someday live on sailboat and cruise wherever it is warm!

Band saw back online and snow is due this week!

Hi Everyone,
Well, the new blade is back on the bandsaw and weve cleaned and lubricated all the moving parts and that critter is good to go so I cut up a whole pile of lumber that was beginning to stack up.
Ive got several tea boxes in the works right now-all of them are laminated blocks of different types of scrap lumber. They are all about 3 inches deep and six inches in diameter although I may cut them down just a little from those dimensions. All are out of wood that have been kiln dried and the scent in all of them is mostly absent and thats important for a closed container.
Ive brought them all inside to dry as its getting too cold for glue to dry now.
Im going to work on one of them early tomorrow morning and Ill post photos afterwards.
Its supposed to snow this Wednesday!
