Well I have decided to give you an update on my progress so far this year. Hopefully you&#8217;ll be able to relate to some of this and it may help you move forward. Also, as I make myself accountable to you it may help me to keep going.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some of the things I said I&#8217;d be focusing on in 2011.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Webinars.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I promised myself I&#8217;d do more webinars as it&#8217;s something I don&#8217;t do much. I started doing private weekly webinars with my Partnership to Success students in January and I must say this is something I enjoy tremendously. I also plan to start doing some free content packed webinars for all of my subscribers so watch this space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>eBay.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I said I planned to be highly active on eBay, that is still planned and I&#8217;m hoping to get back on eBay in the next 6 weeks. I haven&#8217;t sold a thing on eBay so far this year but I am still a <a href=\"http:\/\/feedback.ebay.co.uk\/ws\/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&amp;userid=planetsms&amp;ftab=AllFeedback\" target=\"_blank\">Top Rated Seller<\/a> so hopefully if I move fast I&#8217;ll be able to keep my Top Rated Seller Status. Once again I&#8217;ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article Marketing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still doing a ton of article marketing, you can check out the articles I have submitted <a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?expert=John_Thornhill\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. I aim to keep this up but as this is something I 100% outsource now the workload has not increased.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Product Updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I still haven&#8217;t performed any product updates yet but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ninetydaypowerseller.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ninetydaypowerseller.com<\/a> is about to have a major overhaul to bring it right up to date, I have acquired the domain yourownebookbusiness.com and that&#8217;s what the new product will be released as, again watch this space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Product Creation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I said I&#8217;d release a record amount of info product this year and this will happen. I have already released my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.partnershiptosuccess.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Partnership to Success Program<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onemonthmentor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">One Month Mentor<\/a> and as of today <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theaffiliatemasterplan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Affiliate Masterplan<\/a>. Thats one per month so far this year. There are 2 more products in the pipeline that should be released in the next 6 weeks, although with one I am a silent partner so my name wont be on the sales page. (I&#8217;ll explain more about this later in the year)<\/p>\n<p><strong>List Building.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I said I&#8217;d be focusing more on list building, I still need to ramp this up but at the same time I still generate 100+ subscribers most days from all of my products and this blog, the plan is to at least double that intake by the end of the year and most of this will come from releasing more products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expand the business.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My plans to expand the business are well on track. I have 5 employees now and this may grow before the year is up. I have learned to outsource more thus giving me time to do what I do best and that is create more products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Help a record amount of people quit their jobs in 2011.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onemonthmentor.com\" target=\"_blank\">One Month Mentor<\/a> program that started on March 1st is coming to an end and I will start to receive feedback over the next few days. I really think this program will help a record number of people this year and I aim to relaunch it very soon once I get some feedback. More to follow.<\/p>\n<p>So there you go, once again I have made myself accountable to you and I am giving you an update, feel free to let me know how your plans for the year are going and let me know if you are on track. I am happy with what I have achieved so far this year, are you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may remember this blog post I made at the start of 2011, we all start the year with high expectations don&#8217;t we?
