I did it! Now I just have to keep it going.

[speed829]

Some of you have followed and contributed to my journal. Thank you. My goal was to be making $100.00 per day within an 18 month time frame. It has been just about 3 months and I am way over the $100.00 per day mark.

I am now going to focus on more traditional and hopefully more lucrative aspects of this Internet Marketing scene.

Thanks for all of your help.

I did it!

Woot Woot!

Gratz Speed.

Even as you expand into new areas make sure to keep up what you have / even expand on it via outsourcing.

I don't want a bunch of tourists in my city

And awesome, Speed, you're moving up VERY quickly

Congrats mate, well done!

I wish I will get there too.

[Blackman]

Nice one, mate. What kind of stuff you are doing? SEO, I guess?

[willyboy104]

That's excellent what sort of stuff are you doing to earn that?

[lemonarian]

Hey man, that's great! Grats

[narres]

I take offense to the term "Tourist" as I have lived there for 30 years in peacefully bliss.
See you at the gold medal hockey game.

Nice one, mate. What kind of stuff you are doing? SEO, I guess?

Actually, very little is SEO. I have identified it as a MAJOR weakness of mine and I wanted to get some dollars under my belt as I learned.

I have a bunch of little very quick methods that make a few dollars almost every day. It takes me about half of my day to accomplish it then I continue banging my head against the wall with SEO and PPC.

I am doing all of the crappy things that most internet marketers would turn their noses up at. it is the equivalent of cleaning toilets IRL. Hopefully soon I will master the techniques that will earn me some money on "auto Pilot".

I have no pride and I am not afraid to get dirty. most of the things that I do pay no more than a few dollars (AC) and many pay only pennies (PPD and PPI) but they pay a lot of pennies.

Every once in a while I put together a report and try to sell it. some do well and some don't.

I stopped buying expensive programs too.

Congratz.

Scalability is your next task to master. Once complete, autopilot can be turned on and you move into maintenance mode while seeking new opportunities.

With your daily grind... have you considered which parts could be automated? Maybe a nifty little script could help reduce the amount of hours spend doing the dog work and improve the ROI on your time invested.

[speed829]

yes I already thought of that. it used to take me all day but I bought a couple of bot to do my submitting and stuff. I have a pretty good article spinner.

One thing that in almost every program out there is the phrase: "write and article and spin it" but this is a lot more complicated than it seems (until you know how, that is). It took me a bunch of time before it finally clicked. Now I can do a pretty good seed article in less than an hour.

there are so many little nuances to this business that it can be discouraging. That is why I sought out some very specific simple money makers that aren't going to get me rich but I am picking up an understanding of SEO a little bit more every day.

Like Article submitting. No one actually talks about how many articles, what a good article looks like etc. they usually throw out something like: "make your keyword density 2 to 3% and keep submitting to web 2.0 properties and article directories until your site ranks."

Well I have something to say to everyone who makes a product and leaves it at that. That statement is meaningless to those of us who don't already know how to article market. I still have a long way to go but I am getting there.

One of the reasons that I stopped buying products and removed myself from every mailing list is that most of the products are crap. They are vague and raise more questions than they answer.

That is why I like it here. If you have a question, you search, if you don't find the answer, then you ask and you receive.

Now the problem for me is figuring out what questions to ask. )
