Well, it’s been a little while since I was last here, but that has to be a good thing, right?  Especially when I’ve been working my socks off building up my business.

So here’s the news.  I’ve developed a whole new niche and it is HOT!  And what’s good is that it’s within my business plan and overall plan and through sticking to that plan, I believe I’ve found my over all niche!  I’ve already had more hits with this one site than I’ve had with my other sites combined!  I’ve started making money - I’m giving myself a month to add it all up and then I’ll post the amount here!  I’m tracking the income on a daily/weekly basis, but I want a full month before I post it!

As per my stated plan, I’ve not spent any money on PPC or anything like that.  I’m Bum Marketingand really enjoying it. I’ve written my first ebook and outsourced the graphics. I had to, the thought of learning PhotoShop and inevitably making a mess of it just wasn’t worth while!  If there’s one thing these past few months has taught me is that when you need to spend money on your business, do it!  Anything else, branching out into a realm that is not your expertise will in the long run, cost you money!

I’ve also been doing some forum marketing and I’ve found a couple of ways to add backlinks to my sites.  This week I plan to stay on the backlinking to my hot new site and boost the standing in Google. Keep Google happy and fed and that can only bring in new visitors.

Happy marketing guys!

Well I’ve had my head down for the past two weeks working on one project, that’s the way to approach this Internet Marketing, I’m told.  Stick with one project until that’s earning a few dollars and then lather, rinse and repeat.  So on another of my sites, I’ve been concentrating on getting traffic to it.  It’s my oldest site, the site I first set up and it’s not doing at all badly.

I like to go the free route whenever I can.  Adwords, at the moment, is not for me.  If there’s a way to make a little dirt stick, I’m always gonna try throwing it myself, rather than paying someone else to throw it for me.  I’ve been Bum Marketing as much as I possibly could - which works out at eleven articles and I’ve also been posting to my blog every day.  It might not seem like a lot to some, but for it’s mamoth. 

I also changed the theme on the blog and it’s looking a whole lot more professional and inviting.  I’m already getting comments on the blog, so I’m super happy.  There can be nothing worse than writing away and having the distinct feeling that no one out there is reading/listening.  But the comments tell me otherwise!

I’ve also set up a couple of squeeze pages, to split test and see which one gives a better return - I’m even getting a hold of the lingo, as you can see! 

I’ve set up a Squidoo Lens and linked it to my blog for even more traction and I’ve also done the same with a Hub.  So as you can see, I’ve been busy.  I’ll be sticking with my lead project for perhaps another week and I’ll evaluate it from there.

Happy marketing guys!
