Justin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 08:44:31 +0000

Here we are, day 30 of my 30 day challenge, yay! 30 days has gone so quickly. It’s hard to believe that I’ve managed to do anything consistently for 30 days. But I have. Overall I’ve learnt an enormous amount. Back in the day (day one that is) My original intention was to setup 10 [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 29 – Understanding Competition

Justin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:00:27 +0000

The challenge is coming to a close and to be honest that’s good news for me. I’ve really struggled to blog for this many days straight and do my IM work at the same time. I’m looking forward to a small break! After yesterdays whinge about expectations I now know that: I need to work [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 28 – False Expectations

Justin — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 08:24:07 +0000

Even through it’s not day 30, I’ve decided to launch into some of the learning’s from the challenge. The biggest problem I’ve experienced in this challenge is dealing with my own expectations. I “expected” to be able to launch 10 websites, get to onto page one for at least a few and place some advertising [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 27 – Repetition And The Doldrums

Justin — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 09:36:11 +0000

It’s my blog and i’m going to have a sook. I’m very much getting dragged down by IM at the moment. I have to admin i’ve learnt a few tough lessons in during this challenge that will take me some time to digest. I’m very much in what’s called the dip. The dip is described [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 26 – Setting A Routine

Justin — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 09:02:15 +0000

It’s clear that I won’t be earning that dollar any time soon. First of all, it might have been a bit easier to make a dollar in 30 days if i’d actually concentrated on one site at a time. Never mind, next time (Challenge 2?). To get some action on the site I am concentrating [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 25 – Things I Use

Justin — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 01:09:25 +0000

Can you believe it’s Saturday already! Commitment! If there is one thing i’m taking away from this challenge, it’s that it is super hard to commit to anything that requires more that 10 days effort. One of the components of this challenge is that I blog about my experiences daily for 30 days. I’ve actually [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 24 – Quality Sites

Justin — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:43:18 +0000

Making a site high quality I’ve been cracking on with creating backlinks and working on trying to improve the rank of my site in Google. While this is all going well my blog content has remained fairly static. What I need to do now is spend some time on making the blog look and feel [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 23 – Rankings And Why I Care

Justin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:32:47 +0000

The whole point of this little challenge is to test the keyword phrase I’ve selected is actually something people are typing into Google. If it is, I want my site to appear, preferably in position number 1. Actually, all I care about is ranking #1 Based on my backlinking efforts over the last few days, I’ve [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 22 – The Web 2.0

Justin — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 10:47:17 +0000

Tonight I will be creating a series of what’s called web 2.0 properties. While this sounds like something “new”, it’s basically just creating webpage’s on the following services. blinkweb tumblr wetpaint beep blogger.com wordpress.com hubpages squidoo blog.com yolasite! wow…. What’s the point? The only point of creating pages on these sites is to obtain a [...]

GCE Passive Income Challenge day 21 – The Grind

Justin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:30:31 +0000

Dealing with the grind A few posts ago I mentioned business as usual (BAU). So today I thought I would walk you through exactly what BAU is for me, or if you like a typical night of my internet marketing life. Could I do it better? What I do each night is probably inefficient, probably [...]
