My Independence Day

long hard road aheadHappy 4th of July, I hope everyone in the US has a great day and eats, drinks and bes merry.

I sadly never made it down to the US and am stuck in Canada for this Independence day. But that is not what I wanted to talk about……

I am considering July as the beginning of my Independence as such. I have a tough month ahead and thought I would let you all know what my goals are.

last week a got a shock… Since becoming a full time blogger I have been relying on Paid Post income until I find a way to earn more money from other revenues. To do this I was neglecting one of my sites….. well Google finally gave me the punishment I deserved and stripped my Page Rank! Effectively this has wiped my income to near 0. I knew it was going to happen but was hoping it would hold out another two months.

I was a slave to PPP, and checked it constantly for opportunities. As much as I am worried and stressed now about income, I am also freed from the grasp of PPP. I am independent now and need to crack the code to earning income in other ways online. I have to do this quickly…. that is why July is going to be tough….. So what are my projects and goals for July?

Affiliate Marketing PPC Campaign

learn affiliate marketing

I am following a Niche Workshop based over at the awesome Click Consultants Affiliate Marketing Forum. They are helping me every step along the way to produce my site, landing pages, keywords and PPC campaign to hopefully start making a monthly passive income. After this campaign I hope to expand rapidly to others. I may even start a second campaign before the month is up!

Flipping a site

frugalitiesI am participating in the 30 Days of Site Flipping Contest over at Site Flip University and here is the early days of my entry. The site Frugal Zeitgeist will be a home for frugal ideas and hopefully grow into a great resource and entertaining read.

I will be receiving points for various things such as RSS subscribers (so it would be appreciated if you sign up to my feed here), but most importantly I will be learning about flipping sites.

Let me know what you think and let me know if you have any Frugal Ideas for me to write about or even want to guest post.

My only worry is that I will not want to sell it at the end of the comp!

Adsense Earnings

My Adsense earnings are up for June and I am at about $70… which is more than I had ever earned on Adsense for the last year that I have been using it! So that is amazing. Hopefully July will see me increase these earnings to at least $150.

So wish me luck and I really hope I manage to replace my lost income. If not then August may see me having to go and join the masses and get a normal job until I can get my income streams up to scratch.
Any opinions and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Take care,

Forest.

    Dittos with JK…it’s scary, it’s stressful but it’s also very possible for you to work through this successfully and come out on top.

    Probably the same thing as Jesus, Ghandi and red headed guy who works behind the counter at my local Starbucks…..

    Good luck Forest! Once you get past this rough patch, you’ll be so much happier. It is so much more rewarding to get paid for something you’re good at. And graphic design is something you are GREAT at!

    The best entrepreneurs were in your shoes too. You’ll make money soon, because now you have no choice but to make money! Failure is no longer an option. You’ll do great. This may end up being the best thing that could have happened for you.
