DeanMy Journey To An Online Income
My Status Report Four Weeks In With A Mentor!
By
Hey everyone
Well my intentions are to keep writing update posts just to let you know how I am getting on and to give people a little inspiration.
My stats may not seem high to some but I am a newbie and if I can do this anyone can. I am seeing my business grow just by adding value and following a proven system
CLICK HERE check my stats from when I started see the progress I have made.
Where will I be in a years time?? Its so exciting people.
So here are my stats on my journey to an online income!
To date as of 08/08/09
I have improved the look of my blog including a new header design,and added more plugins.
I have a mini product up and running called the cavemans guide to wordpress
I have grown my list to 135 people.
According to Google Analytics since the end of May I have had 2660 visits to my blog and 6935 page views.
I have received 240 comments to my blog.
I have still got a Twitter following of 3000.
I have made more videos and posted them to Youtube one of them has over 200 views and it is only on Youtube.
People have been writing about me on their blogs.
People have come to me for help and I have helped them where I can.
I have stepped out of my comfort zone to speak with people from all over the world,up untill recently I found it hard talking to people on the phone.
Plus I have affiliate sales of $140 and I have not even began to sell yet,so the money is starting to chase me.
I am still putting to practice what I am learning,and there is a lot to learn but yeah it will happen.
Remember I say this again I have not done anything special I have just been branding myself and positioning myself,and just following the system that has been laid out for me.
People are beginning to know me,like me and trust me its great.
Yes I have also had help from people in the areas I cant yet do,but I am getting it going I can learn certain stuff later.
If you wanna succeed online just keep taking action,find out what is working for you and just keep doing it.Keep pushing forward never GIVE UP!!!!!
Speak soon my friends.
cheers
Marcus

Hey Marcus,
Sounds like you have been pretty busy and things are starting to come together for you
That is a pretty impressive list in the short space of time, where are your opt-ins coming from, your blog or PPP? How are you driving traffic to your PPP?
Great job,

Hey Marcus
That’s great, I really must get onto creating my own eBook! You may have noticed when you came over to mine, I have just been adding an opt-in newsletter to my header similar to yours. I am getting a few but it seems to have slowed down a bit over the last few days, so trying to get the numbers back up again
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Hi Marcus,
First of all thanks for stopping by my blog and making a comment. I’ve certainly been very impressed by what you are doing. Along with a few of the other guys in the forum you have made yourself known. And as we are taught, if you help others then good things will happen.
All the best and hopefully most of us won’t be too far behind you as you get to the top.
Cheers

Hi Marcus,
Good to see your moving forward. I’ve only just started to get my act together. Your stats look very good after only 4 weeks on Alex course. I’d be very happy to have similar stats after so short a time.
Good luck with your progress and thanks for commenting on my blog.

Goood morning Marcus
I see you and I are two of the three amigos that got lost on the name list. We are there NOW! I think I shared with you before that I like your site and the work you are doing in Dean’s group. I need to learn how you found and placed all of the widgets on the left and right side of your blog. That’s what I want on my blog.
Good job

hey Marcus -
135 people and counting? Amazing results my man! You are showing the rest of the students that building a list quickly IS possible.
Quick question – what do you think has been the biggest factor / tool in your ability to build your list so far?
Keep up the great work brotha!

You’re not only letting the money chase you, this blog post shows you’re letting people chase you and that’s a lot more awesome than aything else.
That means you’re growing and adding more value which is exactly the path.
