A day in the life of an affilate marketer…

Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?

I’ve been doing a little bit of work on this site as time has been permitting me. Alas, I’m not really sure how much more I can do.

Oh wait, there’s a ton of things that I can do to make this blog better! But until those good ideas come around, here’s a couple of the things that I have been doing around here.

First, I’ve added a new plugin to the site in order to help with organic traffic, namely Headspace2. What it does is give you the ability to fill out the meta title and description of each blog post. Just think, this is a chance to get in those all-important keywords that search engines just love.

Second, I’ve signed up and installed Kontera, which is a content-based CPC advertising network. Basically it chooses keywords in your blog posts and automatically makes them links (denoted by the double underlines). So far, it seems to be working, although I really would love to see some real traffic show up to see just how well using Kontera works.

I’ve also added a neat little feature (which you can see at the top of this post if you are on the post’s page rather than the index.php) which allows you to retweet my posts with a single click. Just a little bit of php code and voila, instant Twitter retweet gratification! OK, maybe not so much, but it’s a very neat (and easy to use) tool for giving your readers a chance to pass your post along to their followers. Speaking of Twitter followers, my earlier blog post about how I gained 100 Twitter followers in two hours did sort of jump the gun…I’m now over 1600, and the number is steadily increasing. In fact, my followers are also growing thanks to my use of the #tcot (top conservatives on Twitter) hashtag for my other blog, Verbal Thermite. Another area where having tons of Twitter followers is showing a great benefit is in the use of Be-A-Magpie, which is a service that helps you monetize your Twitter account. I’m now making over three Euros with each Magpie tweet. I wonder what John Chow could make with his account…hmm…

Finally, and also the most important update to this site for now is the fact that I’ve done some work with my mailing list. Now you can get a free PLR (private label rights) article pack when you join our list! If you are wondering how this can benefit you, you should check out my Squidoo lens on how to make money with PLR and MRR products. Read that, and then join the mailing list, and together we can take over the internet…er…I mean, make money online.

Not much, really. I’ve been a bit lazy lately when it comes to posting new material. OK, maybe not lazy, but definitely distracted with everyday life. 

Here’s a couple of things:

First, I’m considering changing hosts. Nothing against this one, but I won’t be able to afford it when it comes time to renew.

Second, I’ve got a very good domain name expiring soon, and I need to figure out a way to save it. No money equals no way to renew it, though.

Third, I still am in desperate need of a laptop so I can work on things from my truck. Not only am I behind on this site, but a couple others as well AND in my freelance work. Any suggestions are welcome.

That’s all for now. I may do another post in a bit.

I’m sure you have all noticed that I’ve been posting fewer posts lately. Mostly, that’s because my job keeps me away from the computer. Also, it’s because lately I’ve been slightly more dedicated to the concept of giving you better content. Ironically, I’m not really doing that with this post.

I wanted to share some of the things I’ve been doing with this site lately. Some of them are a little obvious while some aren’t quite as likely to startle you.

Here’s a few of the things I’ve been working on:

- Added CommentLuv plugin to the site. This is a great way to help get more blog traffic to your latest post, and it encourages people to comment.

- I’ve been looking for a more professional theme for the site. I think I’ve found one…but I’m still too cheap to pay for one!

- Added some other plugin. I can’t remember off the top of my head what it is.

- Oh yeah! I remembered! You can now subscribe to comments on this blog. You can also subscribe to my RSS feed

I’m getting ready to try some new things on the marketing scene. I’ve joined up with several new affiliate programs, and will soon be starting on at least one new ebook (which will be my first). Also, I’m considering starting a mailing list so I can keep you all posted on what odd little projects I am currently working on. Good stuff, right?

Stay tuned. There will be some new stuff coming very soon!

I’m sorry that I have been out of commission for a while. My keyboard died a cruel death at the hands of a huge glass of iced tea…and I wasn’t about to write a post using onscreen keyboard!

But I got another system up and running, so it should be business as usual!

And now, a big announcement!

New to the Project: Sugarbuzz network, RapidFireReviews.com!

I’m going to move most of my reviews over to that site, to try to keep this site dedicated more to the art of making money.

As a special introductory offer, you can get a review of your site, product, or service for only $1.00!

That price will not stick around for long, so it would be a good time to jump on it.

Speaking of new blogs, since I’m not the only person on the net blogging about things, be sure to swing over and say hi to a new guy, Daniel Neumeister . He’s a healthcare professional who is new to the blogging scene, and discusses topics such as long waits for healthcare. He seems to be a good writer, and I hope to read more from him soon!

I’m trying to come up with ideas for a podcast, and I’m not really sure what topics I want to cover. For that matter, I’m not positive that I would be able to make a ‘quality’ podcast in the first place (referring to content).

In other news, I realize that I should probably start reading more and sharing what I read with my readers. I’ve noticed many other sites doing this, and after all everyone needs a bit of link love every now and then.

Also, I’ve been trying to get myself in gear as far as writing in general (not just things related to this blog, but some fiction, non-fiction, guest posts, idiotic comments, etc.). I’m starting to realize that writing is kind of fun!

Stay tuned, leave your ideas, run wild.
