One on One
I'm not well. No, I'm not mentally ill, so get that thought out of your head right now. It hurts to look at the computer screen. It could be caused by the sudden rise in the local temperature or I could be allergic to something. Your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, I've been suffering for two days so far. Hopefully, this will soon pass. But this is not what this article is about. Read on, my loyal minions.
One on One
I've been receiving way more email than I can manage and way more comments on the blog than I can keep up with. Despite all that, I'm working one on one with a few people via email to help them optimize their blogs for making money.
The first one I want to mention is Carrie at My Several Worlds. She's so busy right now, I can only help her a little at a time. The second one is Biz at My HCG Journey. I just responded to her first request. There are more, but I don't want to dig through my email folders to look for them right now.
I don't mind working with people one on one. As long as I can keep track of where we are in the process, everything should go well. Each project will bear fruit over time, but not all at once.
If you have need of personal assistance, feel free to ask. Use my contact form. That's what it's there for. Don't wait until you've spent months working on your blog with very little positive results. You'll lose patience and interest in it and then you'll be selling it off, just like what's happening with Bloggin-Ads.
(I discovered I had a sinus problem. I guess I didn't know how to relieve sinus pressure before it got the better of me.)

The only help I ask of you, RT, is to keep reading my blog and post feedback from time to time.
It's only friends like you (and my other friends online) who keep me posting. I have no worries like making money online.

Strangely I've been suffering from eyestrain the last couple of days as well.
My latest blog post: Boxi and Panjo – Modern Art
I have sinusitis. It has localized to the left side now and only hurts in my left eye. Try reading and writing with one eye closed.
hey RT, Good to hear from you, and that you know what you have, and that you are fighting it. After not seeing any comment replies for a while, I was wondering if it was something worse (not that sinusitis sounds very nice). Hope the doc gave you some good antibiotics and that they are kicking in. Being sick sucks, but makes one appreciate good health more. ~ Steve
Three things – first, get some reading glasses to use while online. Trust me, even if you don't wear glasses, you'll experience less eyestrain with weak reading glasses!
Secondly, I appreciate your feedback and hope to get more feedback from you in the future, so I can continue to work at being a great blogger.
Third, I'll be back in touch about that niche blog idea. I've been swamped with work and my back is still bothering me from when I fell down the stairs in May.

I'll be getting some reading glasses soon, but not because of what's going on right now. I know about eye strain and I'll soon be having a lot of it.
Feel better RT. Just take care of yourself. Have a great day.
My latest blog post: Let's Offend Everyone
Hey RT, Sorry to hear you're not feeling well and hope it passes soon. I wonder if some of what hurts when you look at the computer screen is because of what you are reading? That's why I have to limit how much "news" I read…
I also have what seems to be a permanent semi-sore right arm from too much time at the computer mousing and typing. I just grin and bear it. I can't imagine life without computers and the internet, although I was born back in those days. ~ Steve, one of your loyal minions
I was born back in those days too, but I learned to type on a manual typewriter when it wasn't fashionable for males to do so.
Thank you RT for the shoutout. You are truly a kind soul. I hope the eyes get better soon – it's not fun living thru eye issues. I have learned so much and continue to learn so much about blogging from you, thanks for being here!

Great stuff there..:)
Its amazing that you are helping people out in earning online money through optimization. I hope you get well soon indeed! Thanks for everything good you write.
Oh oh. That's not good. Feel better soon and I promise I won't cause too much trouble! Thanks very much for the mention and I hope you don't get annoyed with my incredibly slow process on the matter at hand.
You're very kind RT. I think it's amazing that you're taking the time to help people out.

That's very noble of you to help people out even when you are so busy. Bloggin-Ads seemed like a pretty good site, I didn't follow it much but I'm still sad to see it being sold.
I didn't find it until just before I reviewed it. Imagine how surprised I was when I saw the news.
I've never been a minion before, but I did decimate hundreds of 'em in various role playing games and video games. That's one thing about minions. They lose fights against hero types nearly every time. Look at how many minions bit it in any one Lord of The Rings movies (or books).
I can only hope we won't meet with the same fate. You aren't planning any battles against superior forces are you RT? Cause if so I resign as your minion

Hope you get well soon. About the one on one interaction, do you charge for your advice? I am new to your blog and not really sure how you work. I have a couple of blogs not using their full potential.
I only charge advertisers.
Hey RT, I changed my mind. Based on what Tim the Redneck Bartender said, I don't want to be a minion any more! Strike through what I said above. I'm too young to die. I'll be a reader, or even a follower, or maybe even the hero's sidekick, but I don't wanna be a minion and die! ~ Steve (your loyal
minionreader)My minions post is forthcoming — when, I'm not exactly sure. When me and the minions ride, we make things happen.
hey RT, with all this talk of minions, I decided to look it up. I'm changing my mind again. Now I want to be a minion again (per definition 1), According to Wikipedia, a minion is "a term for favourites or protégés, especially those of a monarch or prince at a royal court. Unlike a henchman or lackey, although of subordinate rank to his patron a minion is likely to be of noble birth or to be raised to the nobility, and is more of a companion and confidant to him than a servant or bodyguard." I like rides and I don't mind being of noble birth, so count me in! ~ Steve (your loyal minion (per Wikipedia definition 1))
I'm not sure where wikipedia got its info on that one, Steve. I'm pretty sure that every Evil Arch Wizard has henchmen, slaves, evil spirits, demons, zombies and (wait for it!) minions! Just watch the old Conan movie, or the more recent Dungeons & Dragons movie. Lots and lots of minions.

You are welcome to ride, Steve, when the riding gets started.
Minion…lol thats a pretty funny name for your readers. I like it!
Maybe you caught a virus. Is your body's anti-virus program up to date? I had a nasty bit of spyware go through my brain recently.
You're silly, Ernie.
you just need to spend more time outdoors. too much staring at a computer screen will do that to ya.
You and me both mate. I am just not used to the hot weather
Trying to drink as much as possible but wow feel tired all the time
Roll on winter!!
It is normal that you have your eyes aching (I don't mean it is OK, only that it is nothing of a surprise), as when we are looking at the screen of a PC, we are blinking rarely and our eyes tend to dry out. If it is hot outside, they dry out even faster then usual… I am using Oculoheel Eyedrops to relieve the irritation and dryness, works quite good…

On this particular occasion, it wasn't caused by looking at the PC. I had sinusitis and it took several days for it clear up.
I've read about hourglass and find out that each sand drops one on one, if more sands drop at the same time, they will break the hourglass.
So do we, we do one on one or we will break ourselves.
P.S: I come here when searching for one on one philosophy and thanks for your post.

I had the same problem from too much games…. I used just some eye drops for tired eyes – no medicine inside. The problem is I decided to get drops three weeks after the problem started and it was hard to get better afterwords.
I had the same from working with computer a lot, I used drops and managed to get out of it. My solution right now is just working less hours
