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 little bit on my contract work, and hopefully free up some time for the coming week.

So, in the middle of all this craziness, I've had my own two projects I started along with when I started WA. However, I haven't touched the first site in about a month. All my time has been going into my main site. It's a site that I had an idea for before starting WA, but WA gave me the information I needed to monetize it.

EverdayFam.com. This is my website baby. Since I've been making extra money from my contract jobs, I've poured about $100 into this site. I found some writers on craigslist and fiverr to write me some stories. It's been hit or miss. I have 3-4 people who I've had write a few. They're great writers. I've had a few that were 'good', but I had to rewrite. I've written a few posts. And then, I've had about 3 writers that I COULD NOT use their story.

All I asked them to do was write me a good, family oriented story. The Audience is for adults with familys. haha. That's all adults, right? I wanted the stories to be upbeat, happy or inspirational. They didn't all have to make people laugh, but I definitely wasn't looking for stories to make the reader feel uncomfortable. One person wrote about her abusive father and how she hates men.

After a few weeks of working with writers, I found out that I need to be very specific with what I'm looking for, and I think I finally got that part down.

I added AdSense and AdWords, and a few other affiliates I use. No body's clicking yet, but I've mostly just had writers on there. I currently have AdWords running to try to get some writers that will write for free and take payment in the form of ad clicks on their stories. Hopefully, this will get them to generate some marketing on their end to get people to my site.

My biggest issue with this site isn't even comment spam. I got that locked down. But, I do get about 50 fake registrations a day. haha. I want to get that locked down before I start getting too much traffic. There's a few WP Plugins for blocking certain IP's and Countrys. I plan for a United States reader base, but I don't necessarily want to block against other countries. I had a good story from a writer in Kenya actually.

So.... take a look at my site, and tell me what you think. I'm still learning AdWords and placement and even WP. I had to put some custom code into this to get some features I wanted. EverydayFam.com

If you feel so inclined, you could sign up and write me a story :) and I'll find a way to return the favor.
