My name is Ray Dotson and I’m addicted to blogging. I admit it. I don’t think I could stop myself now even if I tried. Wait a minute. Let me tell you a little more about myself first.

I’m 36 and I have a bunch of small children. I live in the suburbs of Northern Kentucky in the Midwestern US. During the day I occupy a cubicle and work in Information Technology doing programming and systems analysis. I also teach college classes at night and on the weekends.

I’ve been blogging since January of 2006 and I loved it from the beginning. I started blogging over at Blogger.com in an effort to practice writing every day. I was and still am interested in writing fiction. That was the initial focus of my blog. As time went by, though, I realized that I wanted to do more than just slave away for 50+ hours a week and write stories in the wee hours.

I realized I wanted to be writing and blogging for a living. I began searching for ways of doing this and Freshblogger.com was born in late August of 2006. This blog is my attempt at putting it all together. It is intended to be an ongoing exploration of how to make money by blogging and writing, a fresh perspective on things as I learn and share what I’ve discovered with whoever is interested.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll find something useful and inspiring on these pages. Feel free to leave a comment or send me a message on my contact page.
