The Diary Of An Internet Marketer

I have been so slack with this blog and haven’t been updating it regularly.  If you have read previous posts you would know I’ve been having a very stressful time with one of my children and it really has affected the amount of work I’ve managed to do.  We had a visit with his psychiatrist yesterday and finally someone that has given me some hope as I think I had really lost all hope of this behavior changing in any way.  We have seeked help in the past and haven’t gotten very far but I think we have finally found someone that can help us.

The joys of parenting!!!

Anyway, I am still working on my ’step by step’ project that I mentioned in my last post.  I should have had this finished by now but that’s ok, it’s not too far off.  I just have a few more articles to write and then make a few changes to the report and then it will be ready to go.

Last week I received my sales page for my other ‘BIG’ project that I’m working on.  I have never paid to have a sales page created for me before but this is a big one and I want to get it right.  So now having spent about $300 on graphics and sales page I hope it pays off for me.  Receiving the sales page has motivated me to get stuck into it again and get it finished.  So watch this space as I hope that I get it up and running soon.

Ok, I’m going to go and try to get another article written before I have to go and pick up my son to take him to the dentist.

PS - I almost forgot I did manage to get something almost completed last night.  I am doing a plr article store which I got uploaded last night.  I have lots more to add to it but at least the one’s that are on there are now uploaded and available.  So anyone that needs PLR articles at a good price with good quality then visit my site at http://www.affiliatexplosion.com/articlestore

I haven’t managed to get much work done this week once again thanks to the stress of wonderful children.  I am emotionally exhausted and just can’t think.

Earlier this week I did send out an email to my subscribers asking exactly what they would want in a report and from the many responses the majority wanted a complete step by step report giving all the instructions needed to start from scratch and complete a project that will make money online.  Many thought that a lot of the ebooks that are out there may give step by step instructions but don’t cover everything needed, that they assume some things would be known by the reader.  So my subscribers want something that covers EVERYTHING, and not assume any knowledge already.

So I thought the best way to do something like that would be to start a completely new project (even though I said I wouldn’t start anything new) and record every step as I went along.  So I have started a project and have been recording everything.  It was going really well until the last couple of days when my son has been causing me stress again.  Hopefully I will get stuck back into it tomorrow.

I’m quite excited about this one as it is showing to have more interest already than I have had in the past on any of my sites within the first couple of days.  I plan to include all my html files and articles that I use for this project in the package when I offer it.

So basically that’s what I’ve been doing for the last week, I think I should have it completed within the next two or three days all going well.  Then I’ll get stuck into my own article writing again.

Thankfully today we are having a better day with Corey (refer to last post) and I am in a good mood to get some work done today.  And thank goodness that the heat wave that we have been having has finished.  I am in Adelaide in South Australia and we have just experienced the longest recorded heatwave ever for an Australian city.  We had temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees celcius for 15 days straight (I think that’s about 100 to 105 farenheit).

Yesterday I typed up about three articles and submitted them to a couple of directories so hopefully today I might get a few more done.

I have so many blogs that it’s hard to keep them all up to date - but not impossible.  I’m working on one topic this week until I get about 30 articles written on that topic - which is blogging.  I am using the articles to link back to my free report at http://www.blackspiderblogging.com and also to link to my sons blog at http://www.black-spider.info.

It really is a weird name for a blogging blog and ebook but that is what Lachlan came up with and the theme so I just had to work with it.

Anyway, I’ve done about 6 articles all up for that so I have a few more to go yet.  I am also posting the articles to his blog, even though I should really change them a little before posting them to the blog.  I will be keeping my new blog http://www.my-beautiful-boy.com up to date on a daily basis hopefully as this is my ‘therapy’.  So these are my main goals at the moment.  I did run a free WSO (Warrior Special Offer on the Warrior forum) for my Black Spider Blogging report and had about 300 people download it which was quite good.

I currenly have another WSO running giving one of my own reports that I’ve made money with for the last 18 months with PLR rights at a very good price.  I’m only offering 40 copies and I think there are about 17 left at this stage so they are selling quite fast.  I tossed up whether to offer this as it has been a very good money making report for me and I didn’t want too many people to have it, which is why I limited it to 40 copies and once they are gone I wont sell it again.  http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=228773

Ok, well I’m off to go and get some articles written before heading off to the bank to deposit my Clickbank check.

I have probably mentioned in the past that I have three lovely children but I don’t think I’ve mentioned that we have a lot of behavioral problems with our second child Corey.

Corey’s behavior has reached a point where I am at breaking point and cannot cope with it any longer. I am so emotionally drained that I just cannot think anymore and it really is affecting my work. I have done basically no work today online apart from one article that I managed to get written.

I have been working on an order for the last few days which is ridiculous, I should finish one order in one day not over a few days.

Today I started yet another blog - so I guess I did do something - even though I swore not to start anything new but this one is more of a personal blog.  This blog is about Corey.  I was thinking that if I started a blog about his behavior problems and how I cope with them (or not cope) then it might help me with my frustrations by getting them out.  I guess it’s a kind of diary so that I can get my thoughts out and I am going to try and get Corey to write a bit on there too.

The url for my new blog is http://www.my-beautiful-boy.com although I was a little hesitant to share it as it is fairly personal, but that’s ok.  I guess there’s no point putting my thoughts out there on a blog if I don’t want anyone to read them

So perhaps if you have had any problem children you might find my blog of interest and may even want to give us a comment or even a post.

Avery Berman has written on this blog as a guest blogger and I have mentioned him once or twice since.  Avery wrote this post on the Warrior Forum today and so I just wanted to share it with you……

Warriors… before I go to bed I feel I want to make this post.I just took a step back a few minutes ago, and an overwhelming feeling of euphoria, accomplishment and satisfaction came over me.
As I stared at my inbox, looking at several “CB SALE” and “Payment Received” notifications, I came to a realization.

I’ve really done it.

About 7 months ago, I told myself I was going to succeed online, no matter what it took, no matter how long it took.
Here I am, just 7 short months later, and I’ve done it.

I make my full-time income online.
I’m only 18, and I never have to hold down a “real job.”
I will be the one hiring.
It only goes up from here.

I just wanted to make this post to say, again, Warriors… everyone… ANYONE can do this… and it feels damn amazing when you realize that you’ve succeeded.

To everyone who’s where I am, pat yourselves on the back and realize that you have reached your goals. (Which will only get bigger from now on.)

For all of you that haven’t yet… YOU WILL MAKE IT!

The only way you will EVER fail… is if you stop trying.

Never stop trying. Never give up. You will succeed. End of discussion

Well done Avery, you have done well.

I have seen many websites that review a heap of web hosts and many of these review websites are actually purchased sites with reviews already set up on the site.  To me, these are not true reviews and are quite deceptive.

I will not review a heap of web hosts simply because I have not used them all and therefore cannot give honest reviews on them all.  I have used and still use Hostgator and have never changed to any other webhost because I have never had any problems with Hostgator.

So I will offer a true review on Hostgator as a web host as they are the one company that I have used for a long time.

I started out hosting with GoDaddy and then I was informed that you shouldn’t host at the same site as where you purchase your domains.  Also the fact that I have quite a number of websites that Hostgator was the best choice financially and so I moved my hosting to them.

Hostgator is one of the most (if not the most) trusted hosting company on the internet.  They offer cpanel which you really want in a webhost as it makes managing your websites and blogs so much easier. In the two years that I have been with Hostgator I have never experienced any downtime with any of my websites which I couldn’t say for GoDaddy.

Hostgator has fantastic support including live chat help and so if you do need help with anything they are fantastic. I haven’t had too many occasions where I’ve had to use their help service but when I have they have been excellent.

Hostgator has Fantastico and Wordpress which is extremely easy to install with just a couple of clicks for your blogs and if you want hosting only for blogs then the cost is a very small $7.95 per month for unlimited domains.  For normal web site hosting the cost is $9.95 per month for unlimited domains which is fantastic.

I have quite a number of websites and blogs all hosted for that one cost of just $9.95 per month.

If you are looking for web hosting I definately recommend going through Hostgator.

If you sign up with Hostgator with this link CLICK HERE Iwill personally give you a $20 rebate on your hosting.  By signing up here and then send me an email with your receipt and paypal email address and once I confirm that you have signed up I will send you a $20 rebate through paypal.

So what do you have to lose - $20 covers the cost of your hosting for the first 2 months

Just email me your receipt at sherylp@stayhome-mum.com and I will send you $20

I’ve just come back from a couple of days camping on the River Murray.  It was a nice relaxing weekend but I didn’t go completely without doing any work.

I took my notepad with me and I spent a little bit of time while I was away writing notes for my ebook Black Spider Blogging.  I got into the mood of writing it then and when I got home I sat down at my laptop and got stuck into finishing it.

I mentioned a while back that my kids all had blogs and my youngest son Lachlan has a blog at http://www.black-spider.info Lachlan is only five and wanted a blog because his brothers had one but he is a bit too young to really manage it.  So he chose a name and a theme for his blog (which is where the ‘Black Spider’ bit came from) and I pretty much do everything else for his blog.

So this ebook was written for him for his blog but please don’t think for a second that it is second rate because I wrote it for a five year olds blog.  This blog is managed completely by me and this ebook is as good quality as any other I’ve written.  Lachlan just gets to tell his friends that it’s his

Anyway, I’ve decided to give this ebook away for the release but I will start charging for it shortly.  After all the sort of information that you will find in this ebook other Internet Marketers are charging up to $40 (or more) for.

Black Spider Blogging is a step by step guide to making good money by blogging.  Whether you have a blog and just aren’t making as much money as you’d like or whether you have a personal blog that you’d like to make money with then this report is for you.  Or perhaps you don’t have a blog at all - I can’t imagine why, everyone should have a blog - but if you don’t then you should so grab a copy of this ebook and learn how to set up a blog to make good money.

So head on over to http://www.blackspiderblogging.com and grab your free copy and get blogging. 

I’m off to do some more article marketing - about blogging!

I have just created and uploaded a new product called ‘Discover Your Life Purpose’.  When I first heard of these methods in this book I really had a good think about it and thought perhaps it is right.  Perhaps if I can work out what my true ‘Life Purpose’ is I can live my life the way that I ’should be’.

Guess what???

It worked.  Knowing your life purpose can change the little things in life. Here’s an example….

I have a problem child, my middle child (I think he has middle child syndrome).  Anyway, for the past couple of years I have spent the time trying to understand him and trying to understand why he acts the way he does.  I try to ask him why he does it but I don’t think he understands either.  It wasn’t until I really thought about the whole ‘life purpose’ thing that I thought my purpose is to be his mother and to be the best mother that I can be.  My purpose is not to understand him but it is to help him and be a good mother to him.  You have no idea how much just changing my whole perception of the situation has helped to deal with it, it is truly amazing.

So now I am offering what I know about discovering your life purpose to anyone who wants to know it.

I have released this ebook at a price of $7.50 at http://www.your-life-purpose.com

But…. don’t buy there…..

Because for my blog visitors I am going to give you a new release blog visitor special and you can have this ebook for just $4.50 at http://www.your-life-purpose.com/newrelease.html

I will keep this page up at this price for just a few days so if you want to grab a major bargain and discover your own life purpose then grab it before I take that page down.

So much for a diary - aren’t you supposed to post every day in a diary?

Oh well, I haven’t posted for a week or so as I had a fairly stressful week.  It started off last Sunday with my five year old getting really sick.  He was fine one minute and the next started vomiting.  We’re not sure if it was a virus or food poisoning or what caused the vomiting but none of the rest of us had it.  Anyway it was pretty full on and he was vomiting every 2 or 3 minutes and then started vomiting blood so I ended up taking him down to the hospital.

The hospital closest to us doesn’t have a Paediatric unit so they called an ambulance and sent us over the other side of town to the Womens and Childrens hospital where he spent 24 hours.  They had to give him medication to stop his vomiting and took bloods and did Xrays.  Then he was put on a drip which he stayed on all night and day to rehydrate him.

They are pretty sure the cause of the blood in his vomit was that because he was vomiting so much that he tore blood vessels in his oesophagus so he was put on medication to reduce acid levels in his stomach to give them a chance to heal.  He took the last dose of that this morning.

Anyway, he is fine now but it was pretty scary at the time when your kid is vomiting blood.  And so, there is my reason for not posting it has been a very stressful period.

I actually managed to finish all my article orders, I finished the last one yesterday and I don’t think I’ll advertise for anymore for a little while and give myself a chance to get some work done on my own sites and projects.  I have one site at http://www.workfromhome-internetbusiness.com that I haven’t updated for a long time so I started doing that yesterday and I’m giving the whole site a complete make-over.  It really is outdated and some of the programs I have on there are no longer running.

I did quite a bit of work on that yesterday and have just about completed the whole new site but throughout the site I mention a few times my project at www.affiliatexplosion.com which is still a work in progress.  So I’m going to work on that and get that finished before I upload my new look site.

Affiliate Explosion is my big project that I’m hoping will do really well.  I plan to sell that through Clickbank so anyone that wants to promote it as an affiliate when it is launched feel free to do so.  I will talk more about that when I get closer to the big launch.

I actually don’t think I’ll spend too much time online today, I might write myself a couple of articles and submit them and try to get a little bit of work done on Affiliate Explosion and that will be it.  I need to spend some time house cleaning - the joys of it all

So take care and I’ll try to keep more up to date with my posts
