The Diary Of An Internet Marketer

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 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 pretty much spend my whole day online. I get up at around 9:30 everyday.  After I shower and do a few other things, I head to my computer. I am not always working directly on my online business but I am usually doing some sort of business related task, even if it’s just reading other business blogs, internet marketing forums, or replying to emails.

 

The first thing I do each morning is check everything; all my email accounts, sales, statistics, private messages, make sure my main sites are up and looking good, etc…

 

Then, I move on to forums. I am a moderator of 5 online business / work at home forums and visit a few more on a daily basis. There are always questions to answer, posts to catch up on, new threads to read, and spam to delete.

 

After that I check out a few of my favorite internet marketing / make money online blogs to see what everyone is writing about. There’s always something to learn and blogs are one of the best ways to get information. Some days I will spend a little extra time on blogs to comment on a few posts or submit some posts I really like to social bookmarking sites.

 

Once I’m done with that I go check some of my main email accounts again and reply to any emails I’ve gotten. Then, I do a little work on any new sites I am putting up or just maintain ones I already have up.

 

It’s about 1 or 2pm by now so I take an hour lunch break. Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, but an hour is about average.

 

At about 3:00pm it’s time to update some more of my sites and blogs.

 

For the next couple hours I write at least 3 blog posts; one post for three different blogs. Then, I write at least 3 articles. Again it’s one article for three different websites. Then I publish them all.

 

Keep in mind that I have about 50 websites/blogs, and I usually update at least three of them everyday, although some of my main ones get updated much more often than the others.

 

Now it’s about 5 or 6 and it’s time take a break from my computer for a while. Although sometimes I stay on it to get on Myspace or Facebook, or something else totally unrelated to my online business. I also eat dinner some time around now.

 

At about 8pm I get back to business and start by checking my email, sales, and all the other stuff I checked right away in the morning.

 

Then, for a couple hours, I do some miscellaneous online business tasks that change almost everyday. It might be writing guest posts for blogs I help author, doing some article marketing, working on a new product, writing my newsletter, researching niches, or any of about a million other things that are a part of what I need to do as an internet marketer.

 

When my work day ends, it’s usually about 11:00pm. Then, I watch TV until about 2:00am and go to bed. I do a routine very similar to this every Monday - Thursday. On Fridays I usually do a few major things that need done and end my work day in the early afternoon sometime.

Weekends are completely random, although I usually do get a few online business tasks done on those days too if I am at home.

 

That’s a typical day in the life of Trent Brownrigg - internet marketer, blogger, and online business consultant. I will help you make money online or start your own home business. Visit my sites for more details!
