Week four already? Really? Wow, time really does fly… 
So, what got done this week:
- Got all my corporation tax info gathered up, and made sure everything was closed out for 2009. Pretty sure all my 1099s are now in hand, so I’ll just have to spit out a few reports in Quickbooks and actually do the return one of these days. Not in a huge hurry or anything to do so since I know that instead of getting a refund, this year I’ll be cutting a few pretty hefty checks instead. The pain of that is pretty much balanced by the realization that it just means I had a very good year!
- Another seven minisites exist in the world, and another three direct-to-merchant campaigns are alive and clicking.
- Having a little fun with one of my converted Nanoblogs, though probably getting a little too controversial in the tone of my postings. Might have to tweak the monetization method because of that, but I’m just going to let it ride for the time being.
- Finished Sam Carpenter’s wonderful book Work The System, and began to implement some of his ideas. Highly recommended reading!
29 to go!
[What is this all about?]
Another week, another what-have-I-done-lately status report.
The day job was leaving me a little fried at the end of the day all week. And with tax season about to ramp up, likely even more so ahead. But I was left home alone this weekend as my wife & son went north with the in-laws to see her brother, so I had a chance to really plug away at a few things without my normal distractions.
Of course, I’m imminently distractable, so I did manage to waste a fair amount of time doing things like, oh, clearing out clothes I don’t wear from my closet. Or shopping to fill a little of that newly empty space in said closet. Or finalizing last years data for my little corporation in order to prepare for doing it’s tax return. Or a few dozen games of table tennis in Wii Sports Resort. You get my drift…
Nevertheless, I did manage to get a ton done:
- Nanoblogging: Did some tweaking on a few details I had overlooked on the site I set up last week. Also converted a sorely neglected personal site into a Nanoblog. I have a handful that could use this treatment if the process pans out like I think it will! And started applying the system to the three I have set up. I see some real potential with nanoblogging, and plus, I enjoy doing the research involved in applying it!
- MMS: Set up another five mini money sites, all blasted away and waiting for stats to come rolling in…
- Just for a change of pace, set up a few direct link campaign blasts. Been a while since I’ve done things that way, but in researching niches for the Nanoblogs, came across a few interesting merchants that allowed direct linking. Might as well run with it!
30 weeks to go. Wish me luck!
