No, not a person... I'm referring to my former web site, ClassicRockJimmy.com (don't try going there, it no longer exists).
In the beginning, I thought I had a great idea: Write reviews of classic rock albums, and within each review, put a link so that readers could buy that album from my Amazon Affiliate system. It sounds cool, in theory.
But I hadn't thought it through completely, so I didn't think about one big problem: Listening to that music is great, I love it.... but writing about it is TEDIOUS. Seriously.
So, when it came time for the annual renewal of the site's domain registration and hosting plan, I did some soul searching, and finally made the decision that it didn't make the financial sense to carry on with it. So I let it go. (I did download the entire site onto my hard drive beforehand, so I can always refer to it if I need to.)
I haven't given up on trying to earn some money on the 'Net. I still have my wrist watch site (BuyingWatchesHW.com) and my news site (TopNewsNow.org -- although it's currently listed as "suspended", and I'm trying to figure out why). Also, I'm still an Amazon Affiliate, so if you're looking for something besides a watch, please let me know -- I can upload it to a separate store and send you a link. (NOTE: This will earn me a small commission, but will not cost you a penny extra, and will also work with Amazon Prime.) I'm hoping to rebrand the watch site soon, and move it to the WordPress platform. The news site may soon meet the same fate as ClassicRockJimmy, as I'm not quite sure how to monetize it. Not to mention, I've got a couple of other web ideas percolating in my brain that I'm not quite ready to discuss.
The bottom line is that if you read any old posts on this blog that link to ClassicRockJimmy.com, those links no longer no work, and now you know why.
