Welcome to Everyday Hacker. Let me tell you a little bit about this site. First off, I am Matthew Loberg. I have been blogging for almost three years now. The first two years I spent learning about blog platforms and just getting the hang of it. Last year I started a blog that I took seriously. It was about anything and everything. I made some mistakes and took that blog down, but I learned a ton. Now I have decided to start individual blogs about specific topics. This is my first one of those. If you want to learn a little bit more about me, visit my site at http://mloberg.com/site.

Now that’s enough of the pre-stuff, let’s get to what this blog is about and what you can expect. First of all, this blog is about tech. So you can expect posts about anything from Windows, to Mac, to Linux, to cell phones, game systems(probably not as much, as I am not a gamer), to tech projects, DIY, and, yes, hacks. I plan to do at least one post a week. I am wanting to feature a DIY project every month, because those are fun, but I can’t make any promises until this blog makes a steady income. That brings me onto my next thing, a blog disclosure.

The FTC requires bloggers to be transparent about what they are making and how they are making that. As this site is new, I don’t have much to put here. So far I have made $0. I hope that this blog will grow and I will be able to have an income off of this blog. One way that I plan to make money is through ads. As if now, I am using Google AdSense. These are randomly generated ads and may not be acurate to the topic of this blog until it has some content on it. I will be using text only ads and there will only be one box at the bottom of each page. AdSense is usually CPC (cost per click) meaning I get paid for every click, but sometimes it is CPM (cost per thousand) meaning I get paid per thousand clicks. The payout for a CPC is not set, meaning it is different with evey click. Though it is usually under $1.

The other way I plan to make money is by affiliate marketing. This means I sign up with an affiliate, and promote their products and get paid when people buy that product. I will try to be chosing products that deal with tech, altough I am pushing WooThemes right now because I love their themes. I use one of their themes for this blog. That brings me to another point, I will only promote products I believe in. That means I won’t be advertising any teeth whitening products, because I don’t believe in them. I will also be keeping track of what I am getting paid on the bottom of this page.

Another way I am planning to make money off this blog is through donations. I have not set up a donation link yet, but it is coming.

That’s pretty much all I need to say about this blog. I hope you enjoy it.

So far I have made: $0.
