Welcome! Please join me as I venture into the world of blogging. I’ll be detailing my journey from being a clueless newbie to an somewhat less clueless newbie and whatever happens to come after that.While you’re here, check out some of the nifty blogging “how-to” products that are scattered throughout the site…
11 Jan 10 – Ahh the new year…
Still working away. Slowly growing my business. Nothing outstanding yet. Still working with the new product. Patience is a virtue….
22 October 09 – Love This New Product I Bought!
Straightforward, easy-to-follow, and full of potential. If you can make a blog, you can make money. It’s all about finding what works and repeating it. If you’re the least bit curious, click here to find out what it is. It could be the best few bucks you’ve ever spent.
18 October 09 – Trying Some New SEO Stuff
Learning some new tactics to help with blog traffic and rankings. It’s alot of info to take in. I’ll be applying it and I’ll let you know what happens. Also looking at improving my affiliate income. Stay tuned for more…
21 September 09 – Long time no update
I just realized today that it’s been a while since I updated. I’m still working on my business. I’ve been crazy busy with my “job” and haven’t had a whole lot of time for my business. It’s frustrating that I have to spend time working where I don’t really want to work so I can pay the bills. If only I had 10 more hours a day or didnt have to sleep…
10 July 09 – Still Hangin…
I’m learning new things and working with a pro. Trying to put all the pieces into place. It seems I hit one stumbling block after another. I guess in the end all the roadblocks will make me appreciate my success even more?
18 June 09 – Hangin’ in there
Made some progress on some sites I’ve been working on. Times flies and I can’t see to find enough of it.
7 June 09 - Slowly But Surely
I have more actions now, and I’m looking forward to a great new opportunity I just heard about. More about that at a later date…
2 June 09 – First Action!
I finally made my first “sale” on the Hydra CPA network. It took about 225 clicks and didn’t cost a penny. I used banners and keyword research to drive traffic to my blog. Yay!
15 May 09 – Grrr
I get so frustrated when I put so much effort in to something but nothing ever seems to happen. I know I have to keep at it, but it’s still so frustrating. It seems like everyone but me is having great success…
6 May 09 – PPC to Squeeze Page to CPA Offer…repeat
This is what I have been reciting to myself over and over the last few days… Kinda like “lather, rinse, repeat”. I’ve gotten a couple of clicks, but that’s all as of today. Patience….
2 May 09 – I got in!
I followed Eric Louviere’s guidance and got accepted into a big CPA Network. I can’t wait to get started…
25 April 09 – Back from Texas
WOW! What a brain overload. I learned so mych good information in Austin. I think I have finally found the “missing link” in my online business. I’m have already started incorporating the things I picked up. It shouldn’t take long now…
By the way, if you haven’t heard of Eric Louviere, you should look him up; he is brilliant – and such a nice guy. Thanks Eric & company!
15 April 09 – Off to Texas
I’m heading to Texas tomorrow to attend my first Internet Marketing, learn how to make money online, schmooze with rich IM people conference. Hopefully I will learn lots of good stuff.
8 April 09 – I have trouble focusing on one thing. I think I have IMDD
I think I have figured out what my problem is. I have IMDD – Internet Marketers Distraction Disease. Does anyone else have this problem? I think that’s why I’m having such a hard time. I’m always multi-tasking and doing too many things at once. I have alot of things that I have started, but most of them are still ongoing and I have only finished a few. I wish I could figure out a way to focus more efficiently.
26 March 09 – Ghosthunting in Ohio
I never knew there were so many haunted places in Ohio. I’ve been visiting my sister this week and we went to check out some haunted places around her city. We got quite a scare at one place, but you’ll have to check out HauntedHighways to read about that adventure.
As for my latest online adventures, I’m debating whether to sign up for a new program. It sounds amazing, but it’s a pretty big investment and I have to thoroughly think it over. I’ll keep you updated…
14 Mar 09 – Happy Birthday Taylor!!
I think I will have to start “Tweeting” more. It seems to be very popular and effective.
8 Mar 09 – Problem #5
Traffic! I hear all this talk about all these ways you can get traffic. I have read dozens of ebooks, watched tons of dvds and listened to plenty of audio. I still haven’t put it all together to draw in the endless streams of traffic that each of these programs promise to help me create…
25 Feb 09 – Problem #4
My latest problem is that I have found so many things I want to implement on my blogs and sites, but I just don’t seem to have enough time in the day to get them all done. How can I possibly get anywhere if I don’t have time to get things done? I wonder if I could add 12 more hours on to each day….
Problem #3
I have to say that I get really irritated sometimes when I get emails every day about the latest and greatest new online money making opportunity, the hottest new traffic tool, best new membership site and so on….
It’s great that these guys are making so much money off the hottest new program, but will they really help me out or will they just help someone else’s bank account??
Problem #2
How do I go about monetizing my blog? There are so many different options out there, it’s hard to know where to start. I guess for me, I start with Adsense. It’s easy to use and I’m pretty familiar with it. I honestly have to say that I’m not sure the few cents I might make in a day is even worth the few minutes that it takes to post the code on my site…
Problem #1
I’m very picky and particular about how things look. One of the hardest things for me to do is find a theme that I really like. When I find one that I like, I have a tendency to tweak it to death and screwing everything up so I have to upload again and start all over….
