SEO is Where I Go!

It’s been a long time since I’ve written here and there’s been a crap load of stuff that has gone on.  I haven’t been doing too much work the past few weeks with school and finals and all of that.  But now I’m back at the grind again and seeing it pay off.  So that part is good.  I’ve been running some ads on Plentyoffish lately and building some sites as well.  My main focus right now is SEO.

I decided to jump in on the internet marketing product release niche and build a site around a product that released a couple of weeks ago.  I was able to get my site in the #1 spot and beat out everyone else.  Unfortunately, I made a dumb mistake a couple of days before the product released and missed out on the 1st week sales.  After fixing the mistake, my site is now back up at the #1 position and hasn’t moved since.  And it’s still making some sales.  So, for my first site ever in a product release, which can be super competitive, I’m holding #1 above everyone else.  That’s damn cool and I’m definitely going to be doing this for future releases since there’s a new product every week.

I also have a few sites in the most random of niches.  I built a few adsense sites but stopped working on those literally the day after I built them.  I’ll come back to them later.  I had too much on my plate and it’s important to focus on no more than 3 things at a time in my opinion.  Have 10 sites, PPC campaigns, CPM ads going and then college on top of all that is waaaaay too much to handle.  Take my advice: Do not do internet marketing while you’re in school.  It’s way too much work.  If you try to do both, you’ll end up falling flat in both.  It’s what happened to me.  Choose either school or business.  That’s my advice of the month.

The new year is coming up and I am definitely stoked.  I got a free ticket to Affiliate Summit in Vegas.  Does that mean I’m going to go?  I can’t say for certain.  I haven’t bought any plane tickets or booked a hotel room.  I know a few people going but I still am not quite sure if I want to go.  There will be more money in this convention than any other place in the world.  The parties are insane.  But I don’t know if I’m going to go.  It will probably be a last minute thing for me.

Some more advice for people out there.  It’s been awhile since I’ve written about society and relationships, which is quite sad because it’s one of my strong points.  It’s important that you set your goals and you see them through.  It’s also important that you only keep people in your life that have just as high expectations in life as you do.  Do not keep people that you find annoying or negative in your life.  It’s useless.  Negativity is a plague and you do not have time to deal with other people’s insecurities.  It’s important that you don’t let anything send you off course from reaching your goal.  Even if it’s your family holding you down.  Don’t let anyone hold you back.  Remember, this is your life.  Your duty in life isn’t to make sure that you’re keeping all of your friends happy.  Your duty is to do what’s best for yourself.  This isn’t a selfish mindset.  It’s your god-given right.  If people are bringing you down and distracting you, it’s time to ditch them and move on.  Let them sit in their mediocrity while you head to the top.  While they’re stuck in their 9-5 for the rest of their lives, you’ll be owning your own business constantly growing as the days go by.  Don’t let anyone stop you.  Once again, only keep people that have similar mindsets as yourself around.  There are two types of people in life: people that see the glass half-full and people that see it half-empty.  A good example is someone that goes to the bar and thinks “wow this is retarded” because they got no game, and a person that goes to the bar and thinks “let’s have a great time!” (this guy always gets laid regardless whether he’s got game or not.  It’s all about mindsets people).

Here are some quotes I grabbed from an article that sums up what I’m saying:

“There are times when you have to let old contacts go because they were dead ends on your path to success.” – suck it up and ditch them.

“People will hate you for achieving success because they did not make it themselves.” – lol jealous noobs

“Successful people are often resented because they do not always reach back and help others to their level.” – I worked my ass off to get here; why shouldn’t you?

“People hate successful people because they are not happy with themselves and choose to blame others.” – It’s not my fault you’re not willing to work hard..

Alright, I will be sure to post in another month from now.  Things are definitely going up hill at this point and I am going to keep working towards my main goal: 6-figures by June 15th.  It’ll happen.
