Internet Marketing Blitz Update: 9 Days In
I’m 9 days into my Internet Marketing Blitz already, and I’ve been working my ass off. The stats so far are:
- Hours worked: 50
- Words written: 14,000
I’ve been taking part in the WebWriMo Challenge, which explains all the content I’ve been writing. Suprisingly this hasn’t taken up all my time, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time configuring my new Virtual Private Server (headache). I’ve also been playing around with setting up a few wordpress installations, messing with themes and CSS (another headache) and getting my head around certain plugins.
I get a little concerned when I end up spending all my time messing with plugins and the like, but it’s only because I don’t understand what I’m doing. My theory is that once I get my ahead around it I’ll be able to do it 10 times faster, and that it’s worth learning how to use the tools right in the first place.
Since starting this blitz, I’ve learnt something about myself. I was made for this industry. I feel at home, comfortable. I don’t want to do any other “job”, not that this can be called a job really. I’m passionate about what I’m doing now, and it’s starting to dawn on me that my life isn’t going to be the same anymore.
50 hours in 9 days doesn’t seem a lot, but I’m happy with it because I’ve spent almost every available hour on internet marketing. My day job takes up 20 hours a week, and I have other social commitments to deal with as well. Can’t wait to quit the day job, that’s gonna be some day.
While I rant on about my impending success, I feel it’s right to say that I haven’t earned anymore money during this period of time than before. This doesn’t concern me in the slightest. I’ve set things in motion that will be profitably possibly months from now. All the content I have been writing is just sitting on my hard drive.
I’m predicting that by the end of the month I will have enough content to get at least 3 blogs well and truly started off. It seems that this is my life now, I am official hooked on this business. It’s taken it’s hold, it’s all I want to do now.
