An Article A Day

Well still no sales and seemingly nothing indexed yet. Hmm...yet I obeyed the keyword rules so should be ranking by now....anyway more on my progress in a bit, first I thought I would share with you my current plan.

I'm a natural procrastinator - play now, play later and work last. I can't help it, I've always been that way. Even a Myers-Brigg test revealed that about me.

I aim to do work during the week and inevitable end up delaying till the weekend, I'm so tired after work. Then I spend the weekend sleeping and playing because I feel I "deserve it". Then I see where I am 3 months down the line and get angry at myself for having achieved hardly anything!

Not so this time. I've decided to set an easy target to keep to - an article a day during the working week. That's barely 20 minutes of my time.

Someone on Warriorforum is making 150 bucks a day from Bum Marketing with 150 articles and 300 USFreeAds. So at a conservative article a day it should take about 6 months to reach this.

It's not forever but hopefully I can up the pace within a few weeks.

One thing that does concern me is that I'm only advertising on Goarticles at the moment whereas everyone else seems to use Ezinearticles. Problem is, you need to invest in some domain names for cloaking purposes on Ezinearticles and I'd rather make money before investing in domain names - in the past I've always invested first and earned later, usually less - this time I would rather put my earnings towards my investments in that order!

yeah thanks, I'm sticking to articles. I've actually been blogging for over a year with some bits and pieces of adsense income but nothing much at all.
