The Diary Of An Internet Marketer

I know I have said I will not start anything new - in fact I say it all the time.  But this one is actually not for me, this one is for my sister.  She breeds bull terriers and she had a website that was on free hosting and hadn’t been updated for a long time.  So she wanted to get a new domain with her kennel name in it and do a whole new website.  She really doesn’t know anything about creating websites and so she brought her laptop up to me yesterday and we spent the day working on her new site.

She got a domain name at www.langidrik.com langidrik is their kennel name and means ’small storm’.  So check out her site, I have done my bit on it and showed her how to add pages (it’s created using Wordpress) and now she is busy working away at adding pages and photos of her dogs.

Now, I must go and get back to work on all my projects.  Currently still working on my website at www.ourexceptionalkids.com which is coming along nicely.

That’s right - another new website.  Actually this one I have partnered with another Internet Marketer to create this site which you can visit at http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com

This site is dedicated to our beautiful children.  We are both the mothers of boys and we both have one child that has behavior problems.  My son Corey is eight years old and has behavior issues which, no matter what we have tried, have just got increasingly worse over time.  His behavior has reached the stage that we are finding it very hard to cope with it and are also very concerned about his safety and the safety of his brothers.

Corey physically and quite agressively attacks his brothers and more recently has also started physically attacking me.  We have seeked help and when we haven’t received appropriate help we have asked to be referred to someone else and are now seeing a psychiatrist who is really good even though even he is having trouble getting through to Corey.  We believe that Corey suffers from Aspergers syndrome and I wish I had knowledge of this a long time ago and perhaps we could have prevented his problems from getting worse.  At least now that we know, we know what we are working with.

We are trying pretty much every strategy available until we find something that works for Corey and we are really hoping that something will work as we really don’t want to have to put him on medication - that is definately a last resort.  However, due to the agressiveness of his behavior it could be something we may have to consider if nothing else works.  At the moment we are also consulting a naturopath and we are using some strategies and herbal medication which we hope will give us the help we need.

Anyway, having said all that……

The other mother who I am in partnership has a son who also has special needs, which I wont go into here as it is not my place.  But we both decided to get together and form a partnership to create this website so that we can hopefully help others with children that have behavior problems or disorders.

Our site discussing disorders such as Aspergers syndrome, Autism, ADHD and ODD.  We have both done an incredible amount of research on these topics to arm ourselves with as much knowledge as we can so that we can help our children.  With the research and our experiences I do believe we truly do have something to offer others.

We also have a blog connected to the site which you can visit at http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com/blog feel free to leave a comment on our blog.  If you have children and there is a topic you would like to see included in our site then leave a comment and let us know.

That is what I have been working on lately - that is when I have the time as Corey is taking up a lot of that at the moment.

So please visit our website at http://www.ourexceptionalkids.com

Ok, so I have been slack again and haven’t posted for a while.

So here is my updates:

I wanted to try creating a website using Wordpress.  Not a blog a static website.  So I had an old site that desperately needed updating so I deleted my old files and started the site from scratch using Wordpress.  I am really happy with it too, it is such an improvement from the old site.  You can have a look at the site at http://www.workfromhome-internetbusiness.com and feel free to leave a comment here to tell me what you think.

I also started up a blog on the site just for the sake of adding content to the site, you can see that at http://www.workfromhome-internetbusiness.com/blog it is using the same theme.  Actually with this theme, which is a free Wordpress theme, I changed the colors around to make it unique to my site.  I have seen this theme used before with blacks and reds which was quite effective also.

I’m pretty pleased with the theme and it is an easy one to use and I think it’s quite well layed out.  So, I love my new site, very happy with it and that is about all my updates for now.

So I’m off to celebrate my sons 6th birthday.

Recently I signed up to Facebook as it seems to be the ‘big’ thing lately but I just signed up and that was it, I didn’t really do anything with it. 

Then the other day I received an email from John Reese (Internet Guru for anyone that doesn’t know) who had sent out an email to his list asking them to add him as a friend on Facebook.  There could be a huge benefit by having some Internet Marketing people added as your friends on Facebook.

It is a great way to communicate with your IM friends and I think since John Reese’s email, anyone who doesn’t have a Facebook account needs to get one NOW!

It is actually quite fun and a good idea, so I really recommend that you do get yourself a Facebook account and start growing your list of IM.

So for those Internet Marketers out ther who have an account at Facebook, above is my link if you’d like to become my friend.  For those of you who don’t have a Facebook account yet - GET ONE!!!!

I’m sure all the Internet Marketing Mum’s (Moms) out there will agree that sometimes it gets hard to juggle both your online business and housework and kids.  I know that my housework often gets neglected as I spend my time on my laptop when I should be cleaning the bathroom.

I have spoken before on my blog about getting organised and so far I haven’t really made a good attempt at doing it yet.  I really must though as my house is getting neglected and so are the kids.

There just isn’t enough hours in the day!

I know that some days I come on here and at the end of the day I just don’t feel like I’ve actually achieved anything and this is one more reason why I need to get myself more organised as I know that if I am on here less and more organised I will probably achieve much more with the time that I have got.

So my goal is to spend less time online, spend more time on housework and definately to spend more time with my georgious little boys.  Otherwise they will be grown men before I know it and I’ll have missed them growing up!!!

Just a note about the Resale Rights Course:

I haven’t started the Resale Rights Course yet as I’ve been a bit crook the last couple of days and also just haven’t had the time.  My husband is going away on business for a few days leaving tomorrow, so I’ll have the evenings to myself for the next few days so I’m planning to get started on the course then.

A couple of weeks ago I offered a Hostgator Rebate of $20. I am now able to give you a coupon code that if you enter it during the sign up process you will get the first month hosting for just 1cent.

So for a short time only I am offering a $20 rebate for anyone that signs up to Hostgator through this link Hostgator .

This rebate will cover at least your first two months of hosting.

PLUS when you are completing the sign up process there will be a box where you can enter a coupon code if you have one to get a discount. In this box, enter the word ‘wordpress’ and you will get the first month hosting for just 1cent.

So with the 1cent first month and the $20 rebate you are basically getting the first 3 months of hosting free.

So if you are looking for a great Hostgator deal you wont get much better than that. All you have to do to claim your $20

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.

Thanks for reading

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.
