A Busy Week
I’m not entirely sure I haven’t just bitten off more than I can chew. My ECZEMA WEBSITE is nearing completion and will soon be fit for public consumption. To begin some promotion I joined the digitalpoint forum, as the marketing I had done on the warrior forum had been so successful. I thought I may be able to pick up 100 subscribers or so with some signature advertising.
However, Digital point has a rule that you have no signature until you have made at least ten posts and been a member for a week, so whilst killing time I browsed around and fell into their “Website For Sale” section. What an unfortunate error that may have been. I now have 6 more websites than I had 48 hours ago, and need to get them up and running as soon as possible to reimburse my spending.
Now I wasn’t entirely frivolous with my spending, there is a kind of a plan to the madness, and they do fit into my overall strategy. Infact 2 of them will nicely complement the Finance website I wrote about a little over a week ago. One is a credit card affiliate site, and another offers a debt consolidation product for sale.
So I have a little work to get through just getting these sites up and running. Not to mention I need to read over the ebooks they are selling to see if they are worth the effort or need rewriting. If they are quality stuff, I think I will offer them to my list as a free download for sticking with me.
Speaking of my list, the self-written autoresponder I have been writing seems to be holding up well as the list approaches 200. Some of the more fiddly features(like unsubscribe - hurray I am not CAN SPAM compliant) are done. The biggest missing feature is the ability to send out spot messages to the entire list. I can’t imagine that will take me more than an hour, but I need to check the hostgator mailout rules first to see how many messages I can send per hour before they start thinking I am spamming. Besides - it’s one more thing on the two do list.
Finally - over the next two days - I have to start PROMOTING a few of my sites. Outside of a warrior forum signature file I have been very slack with this. The goal is to get my creditorsdebt.com ready for public viewing and promoted first - and learn from what happens with it. I’m hoping it’s PR3 will make things a little easier - but it’s time that project starting paying me some money back.
Hi Rob,
I’m enjoying your blog. It looks like we’re in a similar place in Internet Marketing - the middle ground. It also looks like we have the same curse - biting off more than we can chew!
I just discovered digitalpoint forum, but I haven’t had a chance to delve into it as much as I would like yet. Hmmm…. websites for sale?? [I must resist!]
Good luck with the new websites and your current endeavors!
Cheers,
Peggy
