Since Last We Met...
...A ton of things have happened.
I got married in May 2013 and will be having a kid May 2015=)
And I went part time at work in order to do more of The Business. It took a few years but I'm finally back in the right mindset to do this again.
I will not be putting in 16 hour days like I did when I was younger (I just can't do that anymore) but I am approaching things with the right mentality - finally. It has been hard getting to this point, a stage where I actually want to work on my own business again. After everything fell apart and I started working at a job again, my confidence and tenacity were shattered. I was not sure that I could ever get that back. I cannot say that I'm 100% yet...
...But I'm definitely back!
The Projects:
SMF - My main site. The one thing that has lasted through all of the turbulence. It is showing its age. The content is stale and the sales have plummeted to below $500/month (on a good month). I need a new approach for this site. I need a way to make it into a membership site so that the income is consistent and can be grown more easily.
SLD - My new baby. Bright, shiny, full of great content... and no sales. This is going to be the bread winner eventually. I have writers doing the heavy content lifting but I have fallen down on my end of the work - getting traffic and sales. The end goal is to have a membership program like I mentioned for SMF. The only difference is that I already have a plan for that when it comes to SLD. Membership will be $20-30/mon, making $10k/month achievable with only 500 members. I have an ebook on the site already but sales are non-existent because traffic is low and the email sequence is ineffective. More on that later.
SRM - My web design and internet marketing company. This is for offline businesses. I have one client and brought in just under $2,000 last month. I will be targeting deep pocket businesses with this business.
That's what I am doing now in a nutshell.
