The Diary Of An Internet Marketer

Let me start by introducing myself.  My name is Sheryl Polomka and I am married to Derek and we have 3 beautiful boys aged 10 - Ben, 8 - Corey and 5 - Lachlan.  I have one lovely dog he’s a Rhodesian Ridgeback called Kaiba.  My sons have 1 rat - Cosmo, and 10 mice - Hearts, Tails, Paws, Cortex, Rosie, Coco, Popcorn, Popper, Snow and Goober.  We started with 6 mice - they had 2 each - and then Coco became the mother of the last 4.  We are fair dinkum Aussies so don’t get too confused if you are reading a day and the day is only starting for you.  We are ahead of most countries timewise so my day may be finishing as yours is just starting.

I have been working in Internet Marketing for two long years and it has not been easy I must say.  Anyone entering into Internet Marketing that thinks it’s going to be easy then think again. I’m not saying forget about it and that it’s too hard, not at all. It is hard work but it is worth it.  What I am saying is that if you think it’s going to be easy and that you will get rich overnight without putting in any effort, then you are going to be very disappointed.

So why have I decided to keep a diary?  I was reading a fellow IM’s blog the other day and he had a post in his blog about ‘The day in the life of an internet marketer’ and he said that this was the most read post he’d ever had, it’s like everyone wants to read about how an internet marketer spends his/her day, so that is what gave me the idea to do a diary of my days.

I was a little hesitant at first as some of my days are not as productive as they should be but keeping a diary will hopefully motivate me to be more productive.

You’re probably wondering by now just how successful I have been with internet marketing after two years.  Well, I am having success but not as much as I’d like.  But you know what!  That is going to change and it’s going to change soon.  The other day I sat down and wrote a list of everything that I have to do - all my current projects that I want to complete.

This is one big problem many internet marketers have - they start a project and before it’s finished they start something new and quite often nothing gets finished.  This is a classic example that I’ve started this diary even though I have other unfinished projects.

So I wrote a list and I am going to finish them all.

I make a big part of my income through ghostwriting.  For those who don’t know what ghostwriting is, it is a person that writes articles or reports for other people and the other people have full rights to the products and can put their own name as author.  The problem is that when I’m writing for other people I have less time to work on my own projects so I want to do less of that and more of my own stuff.

Right at this very moment I should actually be writing articles for other people but instead I’m working on this blog….ssshhhh don’t tell them.  In fact I finished one article order this morning and have spent half the day working on setting up this blog instead of starting another order.  The rest of my day will be spent writing articles although I need to fold the washing too and pick up the kids from school.

The joys of working from home - juggling an internet career with household chores.
