that you may use to do bulk uploads. On this page you will find the

Now I can work on building my Yahoo Campaigns and then transfer them to MSN & Google.

New Layout - The new layout will be updated soon. It’s currently being worked on. Probably a few days, I will have it up.

Internet Entrepreneur & Day Trader?

Haha, I been watching this TV series called ‘ Wall Street Warriors.’

This 25 year old kid, made $12,000 to $1.6 Million.

You can watch it here at Hulu.com.

I’ve been just watching all the videos and working at the same time.

Great thing about the internet is you can also search for ‘Day Trading’ Blogs on the internet.

An exactly, read how they are doing thing and try to implement the same tasks they are doing.

Same thing, I am doing. An other people who read my blog and any other blogs.

But yeah, seems like a great idea. I will make some capital with Affiliate Marketing run online businesses and do Day Trading once I have more money.

Heatmapping Tool - CrazyEgg.com

CrazyEgg.com has a cool heatmapping tool that you can use for your websites. It allows you to see what areas of your website your visitors are clicking on.

May 8th 2008 - Daily Updates

Wow, I am one very lazy entrepreneur :( who doesn’t work enough.

I will do anything but work all day for some odd reason. There are days when I am on a roll and will work all day and days when I only work a few hours.

I plan on spending 6 Hours a Day on my PPC Campaigns and Content Websites. This will be a 42 hour work week if I am spending 6 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I want to see how I do with this, if this turns out well. I hope in the process of doing this, I get more done within the week. If this works out, I will test 8, 10, maybe 12 hours a day also. 12 Hours a day, might be too much. But we’ll see.

My blog design, should be ready soon. Then I will start focusing on getting more posts up and guides to help anyone who is new to Affiliate Marketing.

May 7th 2008 - Updates

I’ve been working on my PPC Campaigns.

50kmonth new template is being worked on. Once they layout is working, i’ll work on adding all the content and start organizing things.

Then focus on getting my name out there.

May 4th 2008 - Blog Updates

Working on getting the new design up and all the new plugins so I can start blogging and writing tutorials.

Summary of April 2008

Affiliate Marketing & PPC Updates

This month, My main focus was to get my PPC Campaigns up. I think, I did a decent job of doing it. I started at the beginning of the month.

To let everyone know my status in the Affiliate Marketing Area. I started on January 31st. My campaign got messed up somehow and was nothing at the beginning of March 2008.

I didn’t work on any PPC during the month of MARCH 2008. I started up again on March 31st 2008.

I would say this is My 2nd Month in Affiliate Marketing.

I did, $22,000 gross for this month. Profit margins aren’t GREAT.. but I will work on improving my profit margins.

I noticed Jonathan Volk had a $140,000 month gross for APRIL 2008. I believe, UberAffiliate.com is usually around $300,000k gross a month.

My goal for this month is to hit $35,000 to $50,000 gross this month.

I am currently, not very organized with all my notes and campaign information. I’m going to start trying to organize better so I can manage more larger campaigns.

Internet Websites Updates

I did not get any of my websites up. I planned to get 3 websites up, but it never happened. 1 Blog Site, 1 Watch Movies Site, 1 Web Hosting Site.

Blog Updates

Also planned to get my blog site up, but that didn’t happen either. Although, I am still going to keep updating in the meantime.

What Next?

I need to research on a good Project Management, Calender, Tasks, To-Do List manager that is easy to manage and edit. I will need to keep a strict schedule and follow it.

Need to incorporate Fitness into my plan so I am more energized to get things done.

1. Analytics or Web Statistics Software

I also need to find an analytics program or stats software for websites.

I could use Google Analytics, which I might. I am debating on it because some people think google uses it to their advantage when you have PPC campaigns online.

I will also use a few other analytics. I will list them and review them.

2. Website Monitoring or Server Monitoring

This is the monitoring of your website to make sure your website is ONLINE and accessible throughout the world over the internet. I will look for certain monitoring services or softwares FREE and PAID services. I will list and report them here on my blog.

3. Conversion Tracking & Keyword Tracking (Yahoo & Google, Tracking202)

I will research more in-depth on Conversion or Keyword Tracking and report with the familiar tools in the industry that are available. I know that all 3 networks now have a line of code that you can input to be used to check for converting keywords.

I have yet tested, this but plan on testing it. I think it will work much better since it will output CONVERSION statistics using your TRUE COST DATA.

4. Meaning of Colors?

I will do more research on the meaning of colors. How it makes a person feel depending on the colors they are seeing. I want to find out what colors are better to use on my landing page so more visitors turn into buyers.

Conclusion

That’s about it for the update, If you have any advice or questions. Please leave a comment.
