I know, you are thinking this monkey must be off his rocker, nuts or just plain bananas! No, well ok – I am all about bananas but I haven’t gone bananas. Somewhere between reading Man vs Debt and The Aussie Nomad, I began to reach an epiphany. Man vs Debt plans on becoming an “A-list blogger” which includes racking up more money in 2010 through ‘light affiliates and light freelancing” then I make a year at my full time job. While the Aussie Nomad takes more of a ‘I got friends in low places’ approach, I began to discover I sided with the latter.

I’m not saying that I wouldn’t like to rack up some serious cash through blogging myself, and get my paws on a few featured articles. But if I look at it as an uphill battle, I’ll eventually hit the banana peel. Everyone wants a piece of the lime light. Yet once it’s on them, all they want is to be left alone.  So what if a big day for MonkeyBrewster.com is one where I had only a few dozen people flip through the homepage. I’m still new, developing and growing my site and my own personal blend of things to fling. From where I stand, it looks good. Plus, if I mess up, it won’t make as large of a splash. Truth be told, it’s not all that bad working my way up. Besides, enjoying what you do will make all the difference in the long run.

*Disclaimer: I like Man vs Debt and think what he is doing is phenomenal, more power to you.
