My Internet Marketing 2010

You might have had your fill of blog posts about 2009 and goal setting for 2010, but I’m going to do it anyway. It’s therapeutic and gives me lots of optimism about the upcoming year.  Hopefully you’ll get something out of it as well.

So bear with me and feel free to add comments as you feel the urge. I haven’t really hashed out what I’m going to say here, so I’ll probably wander around a little bit. I do apologize.

I’m trying to remember everything I did in 2009, and this is what I’ve recalled at this moment:

• Started 3 membership sites.
• Wrote at least 313 PLR articles for said membership sites and for other PLR sales.
• Got on Twitter.
• Wrote 3 ebooks (maybe more?)
• Wrote quite a few reports/PDFs.
• Networked with other marketers and built relationships with many people on my lists.
• Guest blogged x 2.
• Started podcasting.
• Did some audio interviews.
• Signed up for a seminar in January 2010.
• Started work on a big JV project.
• Helped people who asked questions.
• Learned a lot, by researching and taking hands-on help-me-if-I-screw-up action.
• Outsourced items I’ve not outsourced in the past.
• Got set up with my own JAM (JV manager) affiliate program.
• Did my first big PLR package with graphics and sales page.
• Planned 2 other JV projects for 2010.
• Blogged 30 times on this blog.
• Blogged numerous times on my other blogs (but I”m too lazy to count them.)
• Grown my lists.
• Other stuff which I’ve forgotten about.

Have I failed because I didn’t make 6 figures in 2009? Well, yes, because technically I didn’t make 6 figures in 2009. Did I fail because I didn’t do enough or spent too much time learning how to do something? No.

The way I look at failure is… everything I’ve learned this past year will help me next year. Everything. Each year builds on the next. There is no failure.

So what’s up for next year?

I haven’t planned everything out yet, but I will. So these are fuzzy ideas that have yet to take concrete shape.

• Blog a lot more on this here blog.
• Outsource more of the little but time-consuming stuff.
• Do more guest-blogging.
• Finish up the big JV project I’m working on.
• Get the next 2 projects up and running.
• Write and sell more of the complete PLR packages.
• Continue to grow my lists (and convert them to buyers.)
• Attend the January Internet Superstars Conference and take action on what I learn with who I meet.

To me, things can only get better and better, and I’m excited for the new year. Bring it on!

I would love to hear what you have planned for 2010.

Internet Marketing Seminars… Finally

I couldn’t let 2009 slip away without doing one last “first.”  So I did it. I signed up for my first Internet Marketing Conference.  I picked InternetSuperstarsConference which is January 15-17 in Orlando and it’s put on by Mark Hendricks. 

 

 

 

It costs money.  I’ve got enough money.
My kids need me.  They’re 17 and 15, who am I kidding?
I can’t be away for 4 days.  Yes I can.  I’ve been away several times this year and my business didn’t fall to the ground while I was gone.
I don’t want to spend money on me.  Okay, this is tough since I’m such a cheap a$$ and we have a kid starting college in the fall.  But I know the money I can make as the result of the information I learn and people I meet will be more than the money I spend on the conference.
I don’t have anything to wear.  This is true. Maybe Santa will bring me some new threads for Christmas.

 

 

Christmas PLR or Holiday PLR

 

I do believe I forgot to mention the first TOTAL PLR package I’ve put together - Christmas PLR! Of course, I should have mentioned it earlier, but really, since it’s a complete package, there’s not too much for you to do if you want to turn around and sell it on your site.

Here’s what you get:
ebook
sales page, professionally done by someone else.
download page
all graphics - header, ecover, bullets, etc.
5 PLR articles
2 bonuses to go with the ebook

 For more details, look here!

Since this Christmas PLR package has been pretty successful, I’ll be producing more of them.  Well, not more holiday PLR right now, but on other subjects. Do you have a preference? Go ahead and sound off here.

 

P.S. Lucky for you ( and me, whew), I’ve asked my wizard techy friend to team up with me to do the graphics and he said yes.
