Your Money... Putting it to Good Use?
My Weekly Schedule...

At the beginning of each week from Feb 21st 2010, I will post my Weekly Schedule here.

I will revisit every Friday or Saturday & post a review of what I actually achieved in that week.


The Stop/Start Story so far!

In total internet ignorance
in 2008, just after I lost everything & then some,  I decided I'd create an online business to earn an income & try & get back on top again!

It has taken a lot of re-arranging of my life, a staggering amount of learning, moving homes 3 times, becoming a temporary 6 month carer for my sister & a bunch of other family things to arrive a bit over 18 months later, finally to be in this position now, where I am more than ready to DO IT!


    So, here we go...My Theme for the Month is...What can $100 accomplish online?

Week One...jobs to do...
My aim now is to get going fast...so I am going with PLR products at the moment.
It allows me to keep on moving forwards, without stressing that I'm falling behind, as I'm still carer for my sis for a while longer yet.
  1. I bought a PLR package of products for $97 the other day. It came with four different products/businesses & nine instructional videos.    (PLR is a very good system for beginners struggling to find a product of their own to sell)
  2. To do this type of biz, I must understand FTP, Hosting Accounts & registering Domain Names, which I've learned to do this past 12 months.(Even tho' I screwed up heaps & thought I brought down a satellite or two)
  3. I have to buy a new Hosting Account now, which will allow me unlimited Domain hosting. Found one this morning that for $15 a month, their top plan, only allows 20 Domains all up!...Wonder what the deal is after that? No good for internet marketers. Most good Hosts are about $7 a month for hosting unlimited Domains. The only draw back there is, you have to pay it all up front! $84.
  4. Then I have to choose 4 Keyword rich Domain Names for the 4 new businesses @ $10.95 ea. x4= $43.80.
  5. Register the 4 names at GoDaddy...going to keep all my names in one place from now on. Too messy otherwise!
  6. Load one complete site to my New Hosting account, consisting of...
  7. Squeeze page, with opt in form & all site graphics, which I have completed.
  8. Aweber auto responder system, with a few weeks auto responses pre written.
  9. Sales page, with all the sales copy info on it, which I've adjusted to suit me.
  10. Pay Pal payment receiving button, reconfigured to my Pay Pal account.
  11. Product Download page, with Thank-you on it.
  12. Upload the product to my Host so my customers can download it & receive a thank-you after payment!
  13. Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Earnings Disclaimer, etc on bottom of site, but they all have to be linked to each page!
  14. Add my copyright info to the bottom of each page too & I think I'm good to go!
  15. Visit one forum in the niche the first business is in & begin building relationships by posting 5 helping answers to forum members questions & problems, 6 days a week from to-day.(30 places my links will appear)
  16. In a week or so, go back & add my new site to my existing signature file, which has no promotional links in it until then & it will also update all my previous posts! Cool eh?
  17. Total spend so far for 4 businesses is under $240...each biz costing just under $60 for a whole year!
  18. Where can you buy & run a business with such huge potential as this?
Then I can go back to my PPC people, give them $99 USD for my first campaign & hopefully start getting some buying traffic!
The PPC Campaign will be a different investment strategy, where I'm expecting at least a 50% ROI (return)!

The reason I'm doing it this way is to get one real business site up & going. Then I'll just do the other 3 businesses over the next 3 weeks & continue to add one a week from then onwards. I'll weed out the non performers after a period of time.

They say these type of sites can earn about $100 to $800+ a month.
One guy was saying he has over 40 of these sites so far & each one brings in around $20-$50 a DAY...
Do some quick math on his sites. $20 a day x 40sites x 30 days = $24,000 a month!

Imagine 50 of these..setting up 1 a week...after a year? Wow, way to go!
Even at only $100 a month for each site, that's $5,000 a month income. That's a nice way to build a responsive list of buyers for my future big day!

I have 3-5years to achieve my Quest of the one million dollars of sales in a day!

In the meantime, as I earn extra income, I can create a Real Estate Portfolio & each little web-site that churns out it's few hundred dollars a month, can be used to supplement the rent on a rental property, allowing me to purchase more properties, faster.

Week One Results;
$97 bought 4 complete online businesses...Products & all!
$80 bought hosting for a year.
$45 bought 4 Domain name registrations for a year.
$99 buys one month PPC beginners mini test campaign with a professional team....(yet to action)

Week 4 Results...
Just go here for the other results!
  • I did see Dr John Demartini!...Nice...
  • Did lots of seemingly useless stuff, but that has cleared my head, my desk (an ironing board) & my bed!.
  • My daughter has finally been given the all clear with her broken leg & is now headed off in pursuit of her dreams! Just took her up to the Nambour Transit Centre.
  • Week 5 is going to tie most of the past months work together.
  • One thing I have learned is that it always doesn't go the way I want on the day, but after a period of time it gets done.
  • Lesson there is to re-arrange the way I set goals & tasks.
  • One way could be to set one task a week/day & go no further until that one is accomplished.
  • That way I won't be working on 43 different tasks at a time...
  • Here is a shot of my vision board.

He is Also a Great Teacher!
A side trip to Brisbane to see Dr John Demartini was a highlight for me in week 4.

He has helped me tremendously to overcome my great financial losses from the Global Financial Crisis & helped put me back onto the Success Path again.

Many Thanks to him

Just Keeps Climbing in Alexa!
When I started learning about Alexa last month, I put the Alexa Bar on my computer & began seeing how the ranking system works!

It seems when I was actively posting in the forums, people DID come look!
I slowed down this past 2 weeks & so did my rankings...

This site overall has progressed...
Blogger site has roared ahead & my
Wordpress site has gone backwards 50,000 from a high on Feb 27th of 1,004,910... no promotion, so no one looking at it!

              More stuff to learn here for sure!

Update...It is now 26th May 2010, 2months since I last put Alexa details here!
The latest figures have been entered over in the right side bar. I have not promoted any of the 3 sites, as I have a brand new Membership site I'm just getting going now and am just about to launch that.

That will be my real income site. I'll have to promote that to get traffic so people will buy into the Membership. It is a system where people can buy a 3 click installation system to load about 10 brand new fully decked out websites each month! Awesome system. Membership is only $47 a month.

Imagine, in a years time, 100 or more, fully operational websites, pulling in anywhere from $1 to $1,000 or more a month. The average we're shooting for is $100 each a month.
100 sites X $100 a month income is around $10,000 a month!.

This is what I'm aiming for,  then will go on and teach it in 6 day full on workshops where people looking for a Franchise like Jim's Mowing or such and pay $28,000 or more for them.
People will be able to buy this complete system, fully decked out computer and all for a much less fee than any Franchise type Business out there, for sure!

I am just now taking on an assistant to help with the promotions.
