We bring you December’s monthly support post we do once a month begging you to keep this blog alive because if you won’t it will die and that is not what we want. Lets do this before I decide to join Mile Nerd in retirement. Give me a T, give me a B, give me another B…TBB 4 Eveh! Up to you 🙂 Peace on Earth too!
Support TBB by applying for CREDIT CARDS & clicking our REFERRAL LINKS
Since I do not like to mail it in, some observations rolling around my head:
- This blog’s revenues were $16.40 last week, lol.
- Do you know why other blogs keep on pumping their links that earns them money? Because it must work! Whenever I start whining here about the lack of support…clicks happen!
- Biggest shock is that I am still blogging. More than six years later. That still boggles my mind.
- Perhaps with the stock market downturn it is going to hit me like so many other bloggers who quit that this is just not worth it. Thanks to the mother of all bull markets since 2009 lets just say I was not hurting. Absent a miraculous turnaround in the last two weeks of the year, the fourth quarter will be the first quarter that my income will be down. So it will likely hit me right in the face in early January that turning down new clients to whine here for the lack of support is downright idiotic.
- Ten credit card conversions and my blog posts every weekday. We are standing at just four in December, lol. Ten also happens to be the minimum quota I gotta do, sad!
- I get hit constantly by outfits that want to “work’ with me. This means pay me to promote whatever they are selling. I delete them, I just don’t feel comfortable doing that. This also includes sponsored posts. A few days ago someone called me an influencer and offered me $250 for a blog post and mentions in my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages. Actually I do not have TBB Facebook pages and the Instagram page is a zombie. I was tempted but I know nothing of their service so I pressed Delete.
- Maybe I do a “this blog post today is sponsored by ______” offer. Each mention is $25. You can write a sentence to go along with the link. No guns, porn, casino crap okay? Reserve the same for a whole month for $1,000…since I am running a special I settle with you for $500 🙂 Contact my marketing department…which is me! I am the janitor too.
- Do you want to help out in other ways? Do you have a talent for writing? Do you want a voice? I love trip reports in obscure places. You can start here, send me a sample of your writing and we go from there okay?
- If you are freaking out about the market maybe you should take a few moments out of your day to study this:
And I leave you with this, see you Friday! StayweirdTBB!
You are now entering cut and paste territory below:
This blog makes no money from ads, none! Meaning, I don’t do hideous clickbait crap with “shocking” videos. I am contacted constantly by outfits wishing to do guest blog posts, insert affiliate links, do sponsored posts or hawk crap I would never in a million years use myself…I delete them all!
This blog makes more money from you guys applying and getting approved for credit cards with my links. It is substantially more than the Amazon link revenue but, at the end of the day, it is pocket money for me and I would make a hell of a lot more money if I focused my time in my own job. Translating my time spent here TBBing does not correspond to even minimum wage per hour! It is sad so I would rather not think about it so please don’t remind me okay? I am also on a quota of doing ten credit card conversions per month to keep these plastic links. As long as that happens, I can keep this baby going as it has now become of who I am. But when these links go the way of Dodo (who is he?) this blog gets evolved to something you probably will not like, maybe once a week rant on Sundays with my Best of Web five links and then I find something else to do with my time. Maybe take this marathon bucket list item seriously…
Some of you have donated via Paypal. Less than ten of you, thank you!
The other support links below get clicked maybe five times a year TOPS. Trump will call me a loser for sure lol.
Thanks for the support! Please support bloggers who add value to your life and treat you with respect and you want them to keep blogging. In other words, support good blogging practices and NOT constant salesmanship and moronic clickbait crap!
The stuff below is TBB approved!

Good morning!

Hey Buzz-
So how’s this gonna work, ok? Monday is a Monday but it’s also Christmas Eve. Is that a ‘holiday’? Are you on bank holidays, days when the markets are closed? What about religious holidays, and if so, which religions are counted and which ones not?
Here’s another idea-you could just post on days when OMAAT has six or more affiliate links. No, you probably don’t have time for that.
“So it will likely hit me right in the face in early January that turning down new clients to whine here for the lack of support is downright idiotic.” Come on, man. More clients aren’t going to let you have quality time like you get here. Or at least we get here.
Shout it loud: “T…………B………..B……..be.” Please.

Hmmm…did not think that deeply about it. Meant the main ones, you know, Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Memorial Day, MLK…you know.
At this point 4th quarter is looking way down so…this blogging thing has to evolve…and this time I mean it, sad!

TPG hired some duded from Associated Press as “Executive Editorial Director” (boy, do they like yuge titles there or what?”
And our friend Julian:
“TPG‘s current editorial director Julian Mark Kheel will shift to director of special projects, helming the development of the new TPG app, along with a redesign of the main website, newsletter and other integral projects.”
Hmmm….what does this mean?

Special Projects at my company is where you get sent to wait out the last 10 days of your employment… Also, F*ck The Points Guy.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Does the new guy realize this is not about journalism but online marketing of credit cards?

WTF Jerome Powell, now I need to tell the kids that X-mas has been cancelled.

We are all witness to someone so unfit for the job is…criminal (pun intended).
Woke up and decided to shock everyone by announcing with a tweet we are out of Syria. WTF!
Has been interfering with the Fed non stop (oh, he hired the guy because Janet was too short lol) so the poor dude decided to stick it to him to save his manhood, sad lol.
Deal to keep the govt open is in…and I won’t be surprised if he ditches it. Proudly. Mega sad lol.
Positive: Criminal reform was passed. Only 12 extremist Republicans voted no. Despite all the evidence. Only in Murica.
Meanwhile, I am going to build me a bunker to protect myself from the dirty illegal immigrants invading our borders and buy…Gold 😉
I always said that Trump is clinically insane. I never wavered. Smh…2 more of this shit…phuck, hold on!

A useful link for me this xmas… http://www.fakespot.com
Put an Amazon (tripadvisor, wallyworld, yelp) item url in, they analyze how good/fake the reviews are. Seems helpful for many.
Any useful opinions here about wirecutter.com?
TravelBloggerBuzz says
That looks promising, I ‘ll test it out…
My son loves wirecutter, looks like millennials Gen Z kids do? Anyone?
Sam says
Wirecutter is great.
