The financial goal of this blog

This blog was created using $5.99 for 1 year of domain registration. It is being hosted by an existing hosting package for our other sites. The goal of this site is generate income and to use that income to produce additional income.
For example, $5 made from adsense will be used to pay for a $5 text link later on. Hopefully, a well placed text link will generate a return greater than $5 and the cycle continues. In order for us to spend this money, we must earn it first. That means that if we want to pay $30 for a ReviewMe review, we need to make $30 online with this site.
The approach that 2brosblogging will use is marketing by using free tools, our brains and the man’s (Google) system. We will not spend any additional money on this site out of pocket.
Too often, I see bloggers use monetary tools to market their new blog. Tools like adwords, paid reviews and paid links are an easy straight forward way of marketing. Throwing money at a problem is an easy way to deal with it. However, there is no learning by simply spending money. By understanding how the guts of the blogging world work and bootstrapping this site at $0. Once you understand the internal workings, you will be able to spend your dollars more wisely.

Just two clicks from Shoemoney and I landed here. Very good post to land on. I think I will bookmark you and read some more later.
Thanks for the comment Joey, I took a look at your site. Very interesting, I’ve got a bunch of 1983-1989 rookie cards sitting in a box. Maybe I get brush the dust off to see if I have anything worth anything.
I think that it is great that you guys are running your blog on the traditional business model. Generate money and re-invest in the business to grow. I think that is what a lot of people seem to miss when starting a website as a business. It makes sense to use fundamental business models.
Great blog by the way.
Grant.
It’s great that you’re doing it that way.
