The Diary Of An Internet Marketer

Today I had Lachlan home from school as he wasn’t feeling too good this morning with a blocked nose and headache.  He picked up fairly quickly though and probably would have been ok to go to school.

Today I purchased a WSO (I really need to stay out of the WSO section) it was a review website already made up promoting a particular product. As soon as I saw the product I liked the idea as I’ve seen this product do well for a colleague in the past, so when I saw an already made website for it I couldn’t help myself.  I did some keyword research and there is a ton of searches and keywords to use.

The only thing I had to do with the website was to change the affiliate links to my own and upload it to a domain name which I purchased.  I have written one article and submitted it to a couple of article directories and have also set up a ppc campaign.  So fingers crossed this will do well.  I shouldn’t need to do to much other than drive traffic to the site which I will mainly do through article marketing.

I actually managed to finish another article order and have two more to go. I wish I could be more focused and get stuck into them instead of getting sidetracked and looking through the WSO section.

We had aquantance night at school tonight which I wasn’t going to go to but the kids talked me into it.  Worked out well since they had a bbq there so it saved me cooking tea (I hate cooking).

Well, heading off to bed now.  I do feel like I have been a bit productive today which is good.  I hope you have had a productive day also, goodnight.

I’ve missed a couple of days diary entries but I have had the worst headache for the last couple of days.  I’ve been struggling along and have been working on these articles orders although they have taken me much longer than they should have. 

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I just can’t seem to focus on my article writing lately.  I’ve had one of those weeks when I just don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere and sometimes I wonder if it’s all worth it.

Do you ever have days like that?  When you think about all the hours and all the effort that you put into your internet marketing business and just wonder if it’s all worth it.

I don’t know what it is but something just keeps me going and wont allow me to quit.  I don’t know if it’s the determination that one day it all will pay off or if it’s just that I can’t let my husband say ‘I told you so’.

I made a post a couple of days ago about being organised and I know that is one huge problem of mine.  I really need to set up a daily routine and try to get my internet marketer work done while the kids are at school and learn to just turn the computer off when they get home.  I feel like I neglect the children a bit because I spend too much time on this computer.

I couldn’t even tell you how much I’m making monthly, I should sit down and work it out.  I am so disorganised that I don’t even have all my financial records in order.  I really should do that, maybe if I had the actual figure of what I was making each month then I could set a goal to increase that a little each month.

I have about three more article orders to get through and I really should just get stuck into them and get them out the way so I can concentrate on my own work.  The only problem is that if I wasn’t doing this writing for others then I wouldn’t be earning all that much. 

Today I installed Adwords Analyzer on my laptop. I had it on my old computer so I copied the file over to my laptop and installed it but it’s just not working right.  It’s really been peeving me off too I hate when you just can’t get something to work properly and you spend way too much time on it trying to get it to work.  I need to do some keyword research on some of my work and although there are free keyword research tools they just aren’t as good. 

Ok, well I’m going to go and try and get some sleep. 

Take Care
