Running an experiment

Experiment

Hi Everyone,

I have been quiet these past few weeks figuring out how I am going to build this business of mine and how I can help others to achieve. I had several ideas go through my head, but the one that stuck was to run some sort of live experiment on cash generation on the web. My thinking was simple, learn how to make cash on the web and share that process with you folks.

So this is what I have done. I have set up a new website for a product launched by Matt Benwell. The site is http://www.rapidautomatedincomenow.com and the product is Rapid Automated Income. I am sure most of you will have recieved this in your e-mail boxes by now. In keeping with my idea of running an experiment I decided not to go the e-mail route with this product launch. Instead I have created a mini-website on the product and will see if this generates an income for me.

So what have I done?

Well I created a 6 page website focused on the product and linked it to Matt’s product launch page. Will this work? Will it make me money?

Well you’ll just have to stay tuned to find out. :-)

I will post results here on my blog and we can all learn from my mistakes and I hope from my success.

I launched the site on Sunday July 25th 2010, the actual product lauch date was July 12th 2010! So I have not helped myself at all, since I have missed out on the first week of the launch. Still, it will be interesting to see if this mini site will generate an income for me.

There is one problem I have not been able to solve, and I was hoping someone out there might be able to help me with it.

I need to know how to cloak affiliate links.

Does anybody know anything about this subject?

Please leave your comments below to help me with this problem, and of course if want to ask any questions on my ongoing experiment just ask.

Gone off on a tangent!

My blog has come to a grinding halt for the past three weeks as I wrestled with myself. All around me my fellow students were surging ahead, but what had happened to me?

I had lost sight of the goal and became engrossed in looking for an easier way to make this internet marketing work. And this loss of focus has cost me dear. Instead of doing what I should have been doing, working the plan I was off on all sorts of tangents.

Let this be a valuable lesson. There are no short cuts. To be successful means doing al lthe things Alex Jeffreys has taught all his students to do. Day in day out, just stick to it. Stop thinking for now and just do what he says. It works. Period.

So now that I have come back to my senses and stopped chasing short cuts I will post my efforts each day, good or bad.

Hopefully you my readers will learn from my mistake, and be able to build your own business without falling into the traps that I have fallen in.

Stay tuned, as I use my recent experience to drive me forward in building this business.

My first objective will be to go back to my 90 day plan and see how I can rescue it.

If you have any thoughts on how I can get myself back on track, please leave a comment below.

Inspired by fellow blogger Sally Neill

I have just hot footed it here from Sally’s Neills blog.  What an inspiration for moving this business forward.  I have been stuck in a rut for a couple of weeks now, as I mentioned in my last post.  It is really frustrating moving at such a slow speed, but the fault is my own.  The best way to describe it is this business is like driving a car.  Press the accelerator and whoosh off you go, breaking the sound barrier.

The Agony of Article Writing

Most people hate article writing, but love writing!  How can this be?  Article writing is viewed as work and nobody wants to be working.  There is also the problem of what to write about.  Do these questions sound familiar?
Where on earth do you start?
How do you start?
What do you write about? Read the rest of this entry

Truth be told, I am scared
