I’m going on a little tangent, if you will (well, not entirely).

As readers of this blog have guessed, I love drums!  It’s been my favorite instrument for forever, and I derive a lot of pleasure not only playing them, but writing about them as well.

However, the drums are not always the neighborly pastime.  In the article “The Thing About the Neighbors”, it was discussed how to have your cake and eat it too, per se, as far as playing the loudest instrument while maintaining the peace with those next door (or even across the street).  Even after going through the exercise of ensuring you’re as quiet as possible, however, it may not always be possible to ‘keep the peace’, as it were.  You’re still going to make noise, and at times it may even be annoying, even when compromises have been made.

So what to do?  How was I going to be able to enjoy playing drums in a way that would not encroach on my neighbor’s right to peace and quiet?

At about the same time I was contemplating getting a drum set, I was also contemplating what things I was good at, or at least that I liked.  Of course, playing drums was one.  I realized, though, that I also like writing.  I’m no novelist (hmm, or am I? ), but I always found that I could run my mouth on and on about a subject if I liked it enough.  I started to look on the Internet for outlets for those who had a penchant for the written word, and I came across the concept of blogging, which I had not seen before.  This was it!  I could write about drumming when I couldn’t play, and that way I could always be engaged in the subject that most interested me.  I didn’t have to play everyday, and still the passion for drumming would continue to kindle.

Hence TheParadiddler.com was born – perfect!  I could write about drums when I couldn’t play, and that would keep me inspired so when I actually did play, it was more fun!  It just made the playing experience more complete, at least for me.

At about this time as well, I came across a couple of gentlemen in the blogging industry that are highly regarded as the best at knowing not only how to have a successful blog as far as getting attention to it (no use having a web site if you’re the only one who sees it!), but also how to profit from it as well!  This really appealed to me, since I figured, if I’m going to spend time on this, and I could also profit in some way where everyone would find something they want (a win-win situation for all), why not pursue that?

The gentlemen I’m referring to are Gideon Shalwick and Yaro Starak, from BecomeABlogger.com.  I didn’t know how fun blogging could be until I came in contact with these guys, and it’s been an incredible run so far.

My message is this:  if there’s anything at all that you like, or love, or love to talk about, or drive people nuts because you won’t shut up about it, then blogging is for you!   BecomeABlogger.com will show you how to capitalize on your passion, and potentially create an ever increasing income stream.  I have goals financially, as many do.  I haven’t reached them yet, but if it wasn’t for this program, I couldn’t even dream of it.

The following are some things that you can profitably blog about:

• Your favorite instrument of choice (obviously)
  • Playing
  • Teaching
  • Events
• Sports
  • Stats
  • Player profiles
  • Local news
• Gardening
  • Vegetable growing
  • Flowers
  • Pest control
• Finance
  • Stock Market

  • Retirement investing
• Audio/Videophile
  • HDTV
  • Home theater
  • Car audio
• Photography
  • Studio
  • Vacation
  • Scenery
• Anything at all that you like or know something about

And on and on and on.  The ‘end is listless’.  If you like something, even a little, you can blog about it, and even make money too!

I think it’s at least worth a look; there’s absolutely no obligation, but I’m sure your interest will be peaked enough to find out how blogging can make a difference financially in your life.  Below is an invitation from BecomeABlogger.com.  I highly recommend you check it out.  If you’re reading this from the newsletter, then please forward the e-mail to anyone you think may be interested in making money through blogging.  If you know someone that just won’t shut up, then definitely forward them the e-mail!    If you’re reading this at TheParadiddler.com, invite others to check this page out as well.  It will be time well spent – I promise!
