Two Months in
I thought I would share with you where I am at after 2 months of being an IM. Ok maybe not an IMer yet but I will get there because I really like this. I am thinking about changing my nick to "completely lost" instead of mikpj. No just kidding. Read on and you will understand:
I did some thrift shopping and bought a whole bunch of stuff to sell on ebay+amazon. (mostly books and toys)
I got my first official bid yesterday on a product that I have on ebay. (bought for 3.99 and got a bid of 24.99)
I will be shipping my first box (books) to Amazon FBA Canada tomorrow.
I have my shopping list for Toys R Us. I will buy some toys and ship a second box to FBA.
I was scouting on Craigslist and saw a guy GIVING 5 boxes of books away. yup giving, so I picked those up and will ship those to FBA.
I quit one of my IMer training courses (I wont mention which one but it was only 1$ for 30 days) I still follow 2 others. (1 video marketing + 1 amazon/ebay selling)
This weekend I want to get a marketing video up on youtube.
Now for my WA life ;)
I love seeing my rank go up and can't wait to hit 100. I do use this to mesure my total work. I follow training, make comments, post, blog. being here motivates me for my 1st website. I still pend too much time on forums and not acting enough. I lose focus sometimes.
Most pages of my website are ranked 40-75th but still some are nowhere to be seen. This is a mystery to me. i will do some research.
I used Fivrr for an article that I will be posting this evening. This was a first. I really enjoyed my experience using this sevice.
I have many followers here at WA and I have not said hello to all of you but I will try to make it a habit in the future.
Thank you for reading my blog and for all your great comments.
Now go see my site and give me feedback.....please
Mike

Good progress, Mike. You are putting what you learn into action and gaining experience. It's the right way to do it. Look forward to reading more of your success stories. ~ Jude
Wow! That is awesome. Ebay seems like a really good "deal". Maybe I need to be your student! Thanks for sharing!
" got my first official bid yesterday on a product that I have on ebay. (bought for 3.99 and got a bid of 24.99)" - That's Awesome Mike! Was that for a book? I have always had problems selling books on eBay, then again I don't have many books to sell anyways. I know toys sell well for me. - Got to love eBay!
Thanks for posting. It's very inspiring to hear from someone a couple of months in. It's nice to hear about your success on eBay. I wouldn't have the patience to look for those bargains for resale, but I know you can make good money doing that. Sounds like you're on a path for success there.
Good luck with the websites, too. I make a good chunk of my living writing, so I'll be busily generating content for mine in the coming weeks. Sounds like Fivrr is a great place if you prefer to outsource that. Now it's just a matter of staying off the discussions and focused on work (I'm the same way...between WA and Facebook, I need an electric shock keyboard that redirects me whenever I'm there too long).
Oh yeah shock therapy would be great. Just keep the focus. Fun to see we are not alone. Doo doo da doo doo (sound from Close Ecounter of the Third Kind)

You are a busy beaver and it is paying off. Good for you.
