So my thread has been dormant for some time now and so has my site. I've hardly checked BuSo (although I'm so pleased to see so many new members) but I just wanted to end my journey properly to hopefully guide others. What did you learn? I'm going to say something that many will disagree...

Okay weekly update time... Firstly homework: Picking A Niche So I mentioned in my previous thread that one of the things that I got wrong the niche selection - I still don't feel I have that 'money making mindset'. Reddit I still haven't managed to crack Reddit yet. I was getting consistent...

16/03/2015 (finally an update) It's been a little over a month since I updated this thread and truth be told (and as I PM'ed @CCarter) I've not done much with my website - year end is coming at the 9-5 and the pressure has been crazy! It's done now and I can get back to what is important to...

09/02/15 (3 hours) I've spent the last week deep in thought, My performance has been weak and my head hasn't been in the game. That shit all stops now. I'm here to join the 1%, part of the marketing elite. It's time nut up and rape, pillage and plunder my niche. + Signed up and posted on 3...

My updates have been none existent this week, but that's not to say I haven't been working. The 9-5 grind has been relentless but even after 16 hour days I've made sure to work for a couple of hours every night. Without pain without sacrifice we would have nothing I've still been really...

Just think of it this way - you'll never get this moment back. Every second you sit inactive, someone is going to be hustling to chp away at your 103 rankings. One morning you'll wake up and find that the castle has been stormed and everything you worked hard for has been destroyed. In that...

Pomodoros @manga - break your working day into 25 minute periods then reward yourself with a 5-minute break after each period. If I'm ever getting distracted I make myself focus for 25 minutes at a time. No email, no gtalk, no Facebook - just pure focus.

@Calamari it's a great feeling to see the numbers going in the right direction. @Politico even if you've only got the basics in place I'd just start and learn as you go. Content wise it's all in the compelling content thread and the subtle traffic leaks thread. My problem's always been a lack...

28/01/15 (3 Hours) I crafted a great post, downloaded the relevant images and researched the comments on other similar posts... and then I realized how foolish I am! We've all seen how to produce compelling content yet I wasn't following the steps. I grabbed a coffee and reread the post and...

26/01/15 (2 Hour) This week will be a true test of my commitment to my project; There's going to be a lot going on at the 9-5 (14-15 hour days) so my plan is to push through even when I don't feel like hustling - an hour of productive work is better than sitting on my arse watching TV. 2 big...

Who ever said you can't combine programming and content production to make money online? Check out Ruby Tapas.

I've just pushed out our latest round of PR for my 9-5 and based on the results the best way to go is to target industry publications rather than the broader wires. My results so far Industry online press releases published: 8 General online press releases published: 6 Requests for interview...

23/01/15 (1 Hour) One other area where @CCarter thought I could improve was by adding more images to my ebook so I've signed up for shutterstock/istock and I spent the day downloading a few images. + Downloaded 8 images from istock/shutterstock. 25/01/15 (4 Hour) Sunday needed to be a big...

22/0115 (4 Hour) The main aim of my time in the mines today was to implement some of the changes that @CCarter PM'ed me about. One of the biggest issues was that my mailing script was being flagged as spam - this was something I didn't even consider! I fired up Mail Tester and received the...

@badya122 - Great thinking with using Stumbleupon! I might try that out later today even if it's just to boost the profile authority.

@Satvrn this is great advice! I wasn't sure what a good click through rate was and what a poor rate was - now I have a good goal to aim for! I'm planning on making the landing page more mobile friendly so I'll make sure I look into mobile traffic more.

21/01/15 (2 Hour) Okay so yesterday was a tough day with the 9-5 gig, one of those days that really hammers you... it was a day where I looked forward to my IM grind. Firstly an update on my Facebook Ads experiment... This was just a small campaign over 2 day, mainly to get people onto the...

20/01/15 (1 Hour) Damn I messed up! It appears that RedditLater is having some kind of issue so my post didn't go live. My mistake - I should have tested the script before attempting it live. Life goes on. My next window is tomorrow and I'm sure as hell not going to miss that one. I'm going...

Glad you're keeping things real and honest - we're all learning and making mistakes. The important thing is that you're doing not dreaming.

19/01/15 (1 Hour) Whenever I've tried to play the IM game in the past I've failed for 1 reason - I didn't put the theory into action. Well today that's all changed - I sat down over lunch and wrote what I hope will be a successful traffic leak post, I added the 2 links that @CCarter talks...
