So much for the idea of keeping a daily blog of how I'm doing in my online business. Failed after the first day.
This is mainly due to family pressure - I hardly got the chance to sit down at my PC over the weekend, so I didn't really have much to write about.
I see this as a good thing though - I enjoy the time with my family - I just wish I had more of it (time, that is!).
This is the beginning of Day 6, but as it's only just started, we'll call it my Day 5 report.
As I said, very little happened over the weekend (Days 2 and 3), except for a small AdSense income - about enough to buy a large cup of coffee. I have actually reduced my use of AdSense over the past year as the amount you get paid is quite poor, so I see anything that I get as a bit of a bonus nowadays.
On Day 4 (Monday), I spent quite a lot of time viewing videos and reading ebooks about various online marketing techniques. Most of them were items that I'd acquired some time ago, but never got around to studying. Some, I had read or viewed before, but reading them or watching them again several months later has been beneficial. It's easy to miss something the first time around - especially in a video.
On Day 5 (Yesterday), I registered a new domain, www.philrogersonline.com, which I shall be using as part of the course I registered on last week (see previous post).
The course tutor has not revealed what we will be doing with the domain, although he has hinted that it will be a blog (yet another to maintain!). Whenever I register a domain, even when I'm not ready to use it yet, I usually install Wordpress on it and make a post on it. That way, it gets pinged to the blog directories and starts to get indexed by Google etc a lot more quickly. This new domain has been no exception and it now contains a simple WP blog.
I have noticed that traffic from the search ehngines to one of my sites, CB Intuition, has increased considerably (at least 50%) since I started posting new content on it at least once a week. It just goes to show that keeping your site fresh with new content really does have a positive effect. The site appears at #20 in Google for the simple keyword Clickbank, which I'm quite pleased with. It ranks higher for combinations of other keywords plus Clickbank.
What am I Planning to Do Today?
My top priority is to finish a couple of changes to my software, Squeeze-u-lator, and release the latest version.
Have I made any money today (in the last few days)?
Yes. I had some clicks on AdSense.
