Proud of myself today

Just finished watching a Drop Shipping Webinar and adding a few more products to my site (in preparation of Amazon Prime Day). Tomorrow morning I'll spend a few minutes with AdWords and increasing my spend.

Amazon Observation

Today is Amazon's Prime Day. Sales Start at 9PM EST. I'm gonna guess, 9pm is the prime online shopping time. Kids are in bed, people are browsing their phones trying to fall asleep themselves, and Who doesn't love getting Amazon boxes delivered all the time.

My Active WA Subscription

Bank just notified me of my low balance so I went to check what all came out yesterday. In other words, my monthly reminder that I do pay for this excellent resource(WA) and I do not spend enough time on here. However, over the past month, I have been adding content to a 'deal finder' website and this past Thursday I felt it was at a point where I could drive traffic to it. So I started an AdWords campaign, but I already want to kick myself for going too broad on the home page search terms. My

Back after a year.

I think it's been a year. Maybe longer. I decided to start my membership back up. I have some ideas rattling around after watching a shoify dropshipping webinar the other day. One of the things that have kept me from keeping up with this site though, we just had our 2nd kid in November. My oldest is a few months over 3 yr now and requires much attention. Additionally, we try to find activities to burn energy in the evenings so he'll fall asleep. (Soccer, parkour, Stryder racing). I recently obs

I'm back 4 month vacation

Ran out of extra funds to keep this going. I feel like I thought about it daily. Now, just hope I have the time to dive back in. It's summer and I have a toddler!... and I've already had to cut back on my freelance web projects :/

Mixed Emotions

Today (yesterday actually... It's 4am) was the day. Today I left my co-worker friends and an amazing boss in pursuit of doing what I love. Understand, this is not doing Affiliate Marketing full-time YET, but I think this is definitely a step in the right direction and will provide me the time and education to pursue affiliate marketing, or possibly even a step up from that :) But, yes, I was a little sad today saying bye to my co-worker friends. We went out for Mexican food. My project manager

Quitting is hard, but so liberating

"I'm freakin' out, man!" I am... a little. I finally put in my two week notice at my stable, full-time job at a company that's got 15 years under it's belt to go work for a group of young, rogue internet marketers with questionable tactics. I'm a little crazy. I'm surprised I was able to get my wife's blessing, I barely have a plan B. This is one of the negative attributes of being an opportunist. I've been working with these guys as their web designer and programmer since June. I've actually

My Project

I touched on this during my last post. www.everydayfam.com Before I came to WA, I had an idea for a story telling website. My audience would mostly be stay at home moms/parents or retirees. I had a few friends on facebook that I pictured would love the idea, because they always try to tell long stories on facebook. haha. I've basically spent the last month building a site that those 3 or 4 people would love! Pretty risky, eh? I started with getting a wordpress site up and running and researche

Keeping Busy

Hi WA Friends. Here's a little update about what's been going on with me over the last month. I've had NO TIME to do any of the WA trainings. I've been working 45 hours a week at my main job, then when I come home, I have two businesses I do contract web design work for. I usually put 15 hours a week in for EACH of them. Sometimes for about an hour before work, but usually from about 7pm to midnight. My wife hates it. I'm so excited to have this Holiday weekend. I'll be able to catch up a litt

So many ideas!

The most frustrating thing right now is I have so many ideas and not enough time to implement them. I work my 45 hours a week, drive around 10 hours a week to that job, and then in my after hours, I put about 20 hours into freelance/contract work. I barely have time for TV and have about 1000 unread emails in my inbox. I did manage to buy 3 domains and launch 2 websites in the last month. One is a niche site about ditching cable. I ran a facebook campaign and managed to get about 80 'likes'/fan
