Goals for the New Year

I'm pretty sure I've already said this - but I want to have a post where I've got everything laid out clearly. 

My goal for this year is to get to a point where I'm making $100/day from the internet. Right now, I'm making $8/day, so I have a way to go still.

I'm doing this through article writing, which earns me about $100/month right now, and internet marketing.

Two-fold Marketing Plan for the first 6 months:

1) One Week Marketing - to continue with the OWM method, creating a new campaign each week.
2) CCB - to continue creating one Squidoo lens weekly that fits in with the Christmas Cash Blueprint plan.  Because it's NEVER too early to start planning for Christmas sales. ;)

At the end of 6 months, I will re-evaluate, and hopefully will have enough income coming in that I can start doing some more intensive types of marketing, to include niche blogging on my own domains.

I've gone from ZERO to $250 a month in about 3 months. I really expect that number to keep growing. If you'd like to come along with me, check out PotPieGirl's One Week Marketing, and feel free to ask me any questions!

Make Me Money November Round Up

Ok - here's the scoop, not really too much different from what I wrote in the other post, but I did want to have a definitive total.

Freelance Article writing - $100
Associated Content articles - $14.08 in residuals, $3.57 in upfront payments*
Christmas Cash Squidoo Lenses - 82.46
Other affiliate sales - $52.67

So, my total for the month of November is: $252.78

Wow! It might not seem like much, and it's certainly not enough to live on - but dang! I only got serious about earning money online in about the middle of October, so to already be making that much is .. just.. wow.

The thing to remember is this - and I know I said it before - Everything I do online, once I put the work in, will keep earning me money for as long as it's online. So if I can find something that sells enough to make $10 a week, that's $10 a week for however long the internet keeps working this way, and the product stays available. And I'll keep getting that $10 a week, without having to do anymore work. So, if I can find 50 products that make $10 a week? That's $500/week, that's enough for me to live on. And 100 products? That's $1000 a week, and I'm living large. Ok, maybe $1000/week doesn't seem that big to you, but since I'm in Peru, we get by on about $900/month... so $1000/week would be HUGE. (heck, $500/week would be awesome!)

If you're interested in finding out how those pages are making me money, check out PotPieGirl's program One Week Marketing - I bought it, I've read it, I'm working it. It's not a get rich quick scheme, it's a real way to work and make money on the internet in an ethical manner. But I'm telling you now - I'm using it, and I love it. After a lifetime of being miserable working for other people and by their rules, now I'm working for me. I can't wait until I'm making enough money that my husband doesn't have to work 12-15 hour days! (That link is an affiliate link, so I will make a little money if you should buy the program - but I wouldn't be linking to it if I didn't believe in it.)

Ok... I'll get off the soap box now. :D I'm just super excited to see all my hard work is really starting to pay off - like the Tortoise and the Hare, 'Slow and Steady Wins the Race!'


*Residual is the payment I got for page views on all my articles on AC, upfront is the amount I was paid.. well, upfront, for the one article I submitted last month. (I didn't do much article writing, as I was busy with Squidoo lenses)

Make Me Money Update

OK, I received One Week Marketing yesterday, and have read through the material. I was so excited to get started, that I did :D I picked a niche and started off doing day one of the plan last night. Today, I'll be working on day two. Day two seems like a lot of work, but I'm determined to do it!

If I can explain OWM without giving away too much of PotPieGirl's info - it's basically about keyword domination - finding a small niche, and then saturating the market with your pages and your keywords, and becoming an expert in that field. What she's done though, that makes it so great for new internet marketers, is give a very simple to follow, day by day plan on exactly how to do it. (If you want to see how it works, she gives away the first 18 pages for free if you click here)

I've made another sale on my Christmas Cash Blueprint! I'm very excited about that! I've now made a total of 9 Amazon sales this month for a total of nearly $100 dollars. Not bad! It's really exciting to see the work I'm doing pay off. The really great thing is I think I can incorporate some of these Christmas lenses into One Week Marketing campaigns after Christmas is over. Here's an example of what those lenses look like - Le Creuset Round French Oven

So what everyone really wants to know - The Monthly Total so far -

Amazon - $54.74 (the newest sale hasn't shipped yet so isn't added in)
Freelance Articles - $100
Other Articles - $12

The CCB lenses seem to be picking up - I'm eager to see how things go after the weekend!
