Here we are, the 1st day of the month. I know I have a busy month ahead so let’s get right into it.<\/p>\n
I want to first of all thank Dan Thompson<\/a> for all the help he has given me creating this blog. I actually taught myself a lesson last week. \u2018Instead of going round in circles with a task you are not familiar with seek someone who knows what they are doing so you don\u2019t waste your life away\u2019. So thanks again Dan.<\/em><\/p>\n I am going to tell you why I decided to do ‘A month in the life of John Thornhill’<\/p>\n The main reason is to build my business. Creating this blog will see me create another income stream. The more income streams I create the more money I earn. I’m not ashamed to say that what I do this month will ultimately earn me more money.<\/p>\n Secondly, I want to show everyone that there is no real secret to making money online. It’s mostly about taking action, and a lot of it.<\/p>\n Thirdly, I like to help others, I am a firm believer that the more you help others the more you are rewarded. I really think this is the key to a lot of internet marketer\u2019s success. I know this blog will help a lot of people and by helping others I am ultimately helping myself.<\/p>\n Over the next 31 days you will hopefully see me:-<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Launch 2 brand new products.<\/p>\n \u2022 Create numerous new websites.<\/p>\n \u2022 Add about 10 new eBooks to my eBay inventory.<\/p>\n \u2022 Promote about 5-10 products<\/p>\n \u2022 Submit about 4-8 articles to the article directories.<\/p>\n \u2022 Work on my existing websites.<\/p>\n \u2022 Write my newsletter.<\/p>\n \u2022 Outsource most of my work.<\/p>\n \u2022 Seek new JV partners.<\/p>\n \u2022 And a lot lot more.<\/p>\n I would also encourage others to help when they can by adding comments after each post I write if it will help others. I don\u2019t mind the odd link to products but please don\u2019t blatantly promote without helping first.<\/p>\n So with that out of the way let’s get started.<\/p>\n \n What I Did Today.<\/strong><\/p>\n I Paid My Affiliates.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 1st day of the month for me is affiliate payout day. Today I paid all my affiliates all monies owed from all my websites for the month of September 2007. This is done like clockwork on the 1st of each month. I owe a huge part of my success to my affiliates so I always pay out on time.<\/p>\n The lesson here is treat your affiliates like gold. Look after them and they will look after you.<\/p>\n However, treat them like dirt and your business will suffer. I know this from personal experience as I have (and still am) been owed substantial amounts of money for promoting other marketers products on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n The bottom line is I will never promote anything they put their name behind again so who suffers in the long run?<\/p>\n I Launched a Blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, this blog has just added another income stream to my business. In fact when I announced this blog on Friday I found my earnings increased by over 500%. This was simply because of the links down the right hand side of the page.<\/p>\n So although blogging is new to me I can highly recommend it.<\/p>\n I Contacted 2 Copywriters.<\/strong><\/p>\n I currently have 2 products in the early stages of creation that I hope to launch before the end of the month. Although I don\u2019t usually work on 2 new products at the same time one is just about complete. More on this over the coming days.<\/p>\n I Contacted Dave Guindon.<\/strong><\/p>\n I have been in touch with Dave Guindon today. This was in regards to one of his products \u2018Dave\u2019s Online Videos\u2019. I have been meaning to promote this product for months as it\u2019s a quality product so I basically asked Dave if he would set me up a discount page for my subscribers and he agreed. If you want to see the page created click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Creating a subscriber discount page not only increases sales but it also shows I am working to get the best deal I can for my subscribers. Any long time subscriber of mine will know I strive to get them a lot of discounts. I plan to promote this product to my subscribers on Friday. More on this and the tactics I use as it happens.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all I did today, as its Monday I need to wind into the week but I will be busy tomorrow as you will see \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Until tomorrow.<\/p>\n John<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here we are, the 1st day of the month.
