“We about to shut em down when we drop this year”…Das EFX (Lyrics from the song Diggy DAS)
Actually, I do not feel like writing today…
Last week was one of those weeks…You know, the one that you do not get movies to watch over the weekend, you realize your friend has been back stabbing you, my websites are pretty much stalled and all my mentors keep making money while I stay broke. Sucks…SUX big time.
How’s your store going on man?
I got a few ups with regard to my store….Not that I am making any money yet with any of them. I’m just happy I have recorded some progress. One of my stores got indexed on Google. The competition is not tight so I am not worried about ranking. I’ve had some drawbacks though:
1. I’ve been too lazy to write any articles for the store. I simply don’t find time with my busy work schedule as a freelance writer
2. I’ve been unable to install a blog on the store. I just don’t know how to do it. The store is running on OpenCart. If you have any ideas who I can install a blog (preferably WordPress) on it, tweet me.
That’s about one store.
I am still 50-50 on whether I should use 2Checkout for payment processing. I mean, PayPal is alright but if you have been online for some time, you’ve probably heard of the infamous PayPal horror stories.
I am hoping I will have made a decision by the end of this new week.
It’s not all gloomy though…
Today marks the 3rd week that I am writing for one of the top auto loan companies in US. I’m fortunate to work with a very understanding boss who is NOT afraid to spend. I churned a couple of articles for him and made $100 in a day. You know BMR articles? Well (self-promotion), I got 100 percent approval rate. If you need to build some links to your sites, I recommend you join Build My Rank. The company has a network of blogs that can give you quality backlinks to your website.
Remember to tweet me when you need the BMR articles written 🙂 I’ll give you fair price, I promise.
My primary source of writing income has been from content mills. I know most people are against these networks. Well, my thoughts about them won’t surprise you. However, I have been too lazy to set up my copywriting website or blog so I guess the mills will do for some time. I already have my copywriting website designed. You know what is keeping me from putting it online?
A DOMAIN name…A freaking domain name. I just can’t get to choose the right domain name. Previously, my domain name was crystal-copywriting.com Well, it’s a long story why I cannot use the domain name anymore. What name do you think will work for a copywriting website?
This Coming Week’s Goals
I shouldn’t be writing my goals for the coming week because I do not owe any of you readers anything. Anyway, I feel if I write them, at least I’ll have motivation to see them through since it will be like a promise to accomplish them.
So, here’s my to-do list for the coming week:
1. Upload one page of my web hosting business website
2. Write at least 5 articles for my active health niche store.
3. Change my Twitter picture
4. Build a couple of backlinks to my website.
5. Increase relevant twitter followers on my business’s accounts
I think these goals are enough for the week. If I finish them early, I’ll do a couple of other things.
My biggest fear is that 2012 will pass and I will not have achieved most of my goals. Yesterday I was going through some documents in my computer and I came across goals/projects I was supposed to do in 2010. (SMH)…Too much to do leads to nothing being done. So, this year, I’m all about breaking my tasks in simple easy-to-do steps. I hope by the end of the year, I will be looking back and saying, ‘wow, I did it”
Until my next post, stay sharp as a porcupine!
Adios.
