The 'F' Word

Rich Schefren posted a great blog today ... starting each day with 'The "F" Word'  I wouldn't presume to perfect his literary masterpiece, it reflects perfectly on the state of  a typical entrepreneurs working week.

Day Twenty One 30DC - Can't Track Can't Manage

Reviewing the Market Research today.  Constantly mindful [me that is!] that what happens online is relevant offline aswell.  Mind whirring with how I can improve the communication in offline businesses so that I am always adding value.

Day Twenty 30DC - Ethical Social Bookmarking

Good = Good, Bad = Bad!

Day Eighteen & Nineteen 30DC - Catch Up Phase

Rest, relax, recuperate ... breeaaath!

Day Seventeen 30DC - Magic Happens!

Pulling it all together.  Social posting, submitting to ezine articles.  All familiar territory now.  Actually that is not strictly true I was not aware of the website www.socialposting.com and I have to say it is somewhat amazing that in one site I can submit to so many.

Day Sixteen 30DC - Creating Traffic!

As of today we have sufficient information to create traffic!  And, fingers crossed, make money through affiliate sales.

Not sure that I want to use Tumblr though, I have an account with TypePad.  I understand the functionality and I enjoy the simplicity of it.  Need to make sure that it is in the format recommended.

Day Fifteen 30DC - The WHY Of Traffic

What I learnt today is that Google hates new sites oopsie!  Fortunately super hero Ed Dale is talking us through how we can get into the hottest club in town.

Ed is ensuring that we minimise risk, getting in with the cool people i.e. Paris Hilton who will introduce us to the club ... that is how we get in.

Day Fourteen 30DC - American Idol Style

The key to making money online is exactly the same as the key to making money offline.  What do I mean by that?  Knowing ahead of time what has the greatest chance of making money. Ed Dale (and others) have called this the American Idol approach. It's a great way to minimize risk and create a hungry market.

Day Thirteen 30DC - Content Is King!

Reviewing where to get the content from.  Although I am currently sourcing the content from bloglines Ed reminds us that there are many other sources i.e technorati.

Creating a habit can take 30 days (or is it 28?) and Ed is encouraging us to get into the habit of 'writing' content and saving it into google notes and ensuring that we make it sound real.

 

Day Eleven & Twelve 30DC - Catch Up Phase

Catch up time!  Really enjoying the Thirty Day Challenge despite my angst at not finding the 'perfect' key phrase and niche.

Having got over my perfectionism in this and made a decision that 'it is good enough' I appear to be steam rollering ahead.  Good time to catch up
