IMPORTANT : For some weird reason Feedburner decided to drop the majority of the RSS subscribers, so if you had subscribed earlier, please do so again by going to http://earningdosh.com/feed and choosing your preferred feed reader. I don’t think the move affected e-mail subscribers but if by any chance your subscription got cancelled, just enter your e-mail in the sidebar box and you will get resubscribed in a jiffy.
Remember, subscribers get the first go at a few random contests that will be occurring sporadically.
I’ve decided to rebrand the blog as Earning Dosh. This decision wasn’t a hasty or an impulsive one by any means but a well-thought out one. There are various pros (and cons) but the pros outweighed the cons, so you have the result before your eyes… Earning Dosh dot com
The comment that started it all was made by Ryan McLean and it read:
Maybe you might need to rebrand. It is not too late.
I changed from foolswealth.com to Smarterwealth.net just a couple of months ago. Best decision I ever made as my site is now more brandable and open to more people.
If you change yours I will still follow it and it will be open to so many more people…not just those interested in in kind of stuff you offer.
Awe-inspiring stuff for sure. This set me thinking. On one hand, I always wanted to cover blogging stuff and strategies to make money online, so instead of having them on 2 separate blogs (heckuva’ hassle), why not just mix n’ match?
And sure enough.. it sounded good. Really good. Actually too good to be true. I’m sure you guys must have gotten this feeling that something’s staring at you right in your face but you just can’t get your finger on it.
That’s exactly what this was.. an obvious brainwave and I must thank Ryan for this. (/virtual toast)
So, how exactly will this affect you?
To be honest, it won’t affect you much. I’ll still be providing strategies to make dosh online 
and I will be covering a host of other topics about the online scene in general.
Don’t worry though, it won’t really turn into a blog where all I do is rant about my life 24 x 7. Make no mistake about it, you will receive value from this blog as you did before. That’s one thing that will never change.
Basically, this change allowed me to expand my horizons and target a larger audience: blogging beginners. Make Money Online stuff has tons of takers but wouldn’t it be much better to have variety? Variety is the spice of life as a wise old man (possibly dead now) once said.
The Theme
I’ve just played around with a few colours and I’ve adjusted the logo to reflect the revamp. Nothing’s final, so expect a few changes here and there in the next couple of days.
So, what do you, the readers, think about the changes that have been (and are being) implemented?

The comment by Ryan was the kind of comment that one would desire, as it was not expected, and it make a solid point. When someone is willing to take a risk like that to point out that something looks like it isn’t working or could be improved in some way, it is not looked at negatively because the listener sooner or later figures out that the person was looking to help them.

Exactly Armen. That was a blog-changing comment, no pun intended

This is an awesome makeover and I reckon this could one of the best blogging decision you have ever made. In fact, your logo really stands out from a sea of red. Good work.

I’m glad you think so, Yan.
The logo’s just a brief mock-up, the final logo’s gonna look soo much better.

I’ve never been here before, but I must say the logo is great, and the overall layout it pretty clean too.

Thanks Danny. I’m sorry but I don’t understand the part about you not being here before.
This is the same blog as BHW, I’ve simply ported it over to a new domain and made several changes to the design.

As always, Brian Gardner themes are always beautiful, elegant and fantastic. Great move buddy!

Thanks Hussein
I LOVE the Revolution Themes by Brian and use them on almost all my niche blogs.
In fact, from the time I bought the Developer’s License to the themes, I guess I must have used them so much that I’ve pretty much made back my investment ten-fold and some.
By the way, did you get my mail?
October 24th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Looks great, congrats.
I really hope that this blog turns out to be a roaring success.

great theme and good move

First, I love the color of the blog. Second, “dosh” must be a word for money somewhere, but it’s new to me; stupid American I guess.
Third, combining two similar blogs into one is a great idea; good luck all around.

Thanks Agg. I hope so too.
In fact, I have some huge plans for this blog. I shouldn’t say too much at this point
October 25th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Yeah, even I love the dark-ish red shade. It makes it look so sophisticated yet so elegant.
Yeah, dosh is a word for money, I thought it was pretty common? Well, it’s only fair as even we guys don’t understand American slang :p
Thanks for the appreciation anyways. All these compliments assure me that rebranding was the right to do.

Thanks Tara. I never knew that you sold the WAHM blog. The new blog (Affiliate Marketing Prodigy) looks amazing and you just got a new subscriber

You can change themes 100 times a month, if the content is good, people will beg for more!

Thanks for commenting Bryan. I’ll certainly look into mixing some more colours into it.

Awesome logo, looks kindof like the Sony Vaio logo
