    Keep in mind that I'm not an expert, so this is going to be very basic.

    First, you need a place to host your blog. Blogger.com or Wordpress.com will work. Then, you'll want to sign up for ad revenue services like Google Adsense. They'll give you some code to paste in the template on your blogging site and whenever someoneone clicks an ad, you get some revenue. You can also use it to monetize any Youtube videos you'd care to make alongside your blog.

    If I were you, I'd just start easy. Get a blog and start writing. Look into the monitization, but make that secondary for now. Write about politics, football, teaching, Sci Fi, etc. Throw in some personal stuff, but only if it's relevant to something you're really interested in. People don't want to know how Annalee is doing. They want to know why you love Fred Thompson or why you're part of The Church of Christ. They want to know about your history lectures and what your students think. You'll eventually want to learn to gear your writing style towards certain keywords, but, like I said, that's down the line. What's important right now is that you just get up and running and get disciplined in writing on a regular schedule.

    Big piece of advice here: Don't use your real name. It could come back to bite you in the ass. You don't want that. Try to be as anonymous as possible. You can give your real name to Blogger or Wordpress, but don't have it available on anything you publish.

    I disagree about the real name thing. The cat's out of the bag on that; the best thing to do is capitalize on it and work on building the Dayton Kitchens brand. I definitely think there's potential for him to become a youtube/blogging celebrity of sorts. Look at what he's done here without even trying.

    Adding to the blogging idea, if he looked at the type of posts that generate the most feedback in the BR, it might help guide what posts are likely to gain interactions and therefore followers.

    Real name might help, if he wants to highlight his published works.

    You're right. Using his real name and building the brand is definitely going to get him a better start. As of yet, his shenanigans on here haven't had much of a measurable negative effect on his life (as far as I remember). I just worry that a wider platform might be more likely to cause trouble to leak into his personal life. But, no risk, no reward.

    So, Dayton, go with what Quest and Mburtonk have said. Use your real name and mine the RR for ideas. Promote the hell out of your blog on here and anywhere else that you post regularly.

    Do not use your real name. Select a pseudonym and stick with it.

    Problem being, if he turns into some semi famous blogger celebrity, suddenly a wider audience has access to some of his more disturbing and disgusting views of the world. That could have some very real consequences in real life
    That would be good advice, but he's not going to take it. His ego would not allow for it.

    If there was any chance he could gain recognition, he would want the world to know it was him. Unfortunatly he doesnt understand the difference between notable and notoriety!

    Dayton will have more success as a blogger if he plays up his "disturbing and disgusting" views. His personality is a natural magnet for controversy. People love that shit, look at how much WF traffic revolves around him. If he didn't have to worry about hanging on to a teaching job he could really unleash the beast. He might even get a TLC reality show. :yes:

    Oh god, get Gordon Ramsey to offer him life advice.

    Ramsey's Kitchens Nightmare indeed! Seeing him and Dayton face off would be reality TV gold!

    Yes, you can do everything right and fail, but it increases your chances of success.

    Not doing what has been asked of you, like completing something important to them, isn't doing something right. It's doing something wrong, and that increases your chances of failure.

    For the sake of your family, swallow your pride. You can have the big ego if you're your own boss or "best of breed", but you're not the former, and if you were the latter you'd be kept on and given a high degree of latitude with regard to inter-personal relations.

    You may be a good educator, I don't know, but the job of teaching is more about simply educating - and in that, you are blatantly not good, otherwise you wouldn't be two for two in getting shitcanned.

    Well, pardon me. I guess a 40% shitcanned rate is, err, something.

    Do you plan to take on board anything that has been said in the thread?

    The blog is a nice easy idea since you enjoy posting online but remember most bloggers don't make much so don't count on that. At least with a hauling business you can work weekends and after work and still make a grand or two a month. All you need is a truck, a dump trailer, a small advertising budget for fliers, and a willingness to work.

    There are other ideas but that is all I have for now. If you think about it and keep and open mind you will find more.

    Have you looked at usajobs? The federal government has jobs in every state and you will get extra points towards hiring due to your education while you can buy back years of state or local government service towards retirement. They will even give you something like 26 days paid leave each year.

    And yet, you learn nothing. Your sister has spent three decades at the same school and I doubt your mother, the other sister and most of your cousins went about getting fired and RIFed every two years.

    Any serviceman can say he spent five years in the military. But five years doing his actual job and five years being a shit bag cutting corners and barely avoiding NJP are two different things.
