What a Year & a Little Focus Can Do…

Just thought I’d share my latest post at the Campaign Blasts forum, entitled ‘Blasting – One Year Later‘:

Are you ready???

So I noticed today that I’m a week past my one year anniversary as a member of Campaign Blasts. And it has started to sink in how much my life has changed since signing up here.

A year ago, in a good month I was clearing maybe 250 bucks with this side gig, despite playing around in it for years. And most of that was from several text link ads on a personal site I barely touch via advertisers who I still believe aren’t receiving anywhere near the value they are paying. Their continued patronage pays my hosting & domain registrations plus a few bucks more every month, but I really don’t think they have any idea what they are doing… ;)

Most of my efforts — if you could call them that — in those years were really just research into the latest and greatest methods to make quick, easy cash. Or so the dozen or so daily emails that crossed my screen said. In actuality, I was just flopping from one thing to the next without actually finishing a damn thing.

Somewhere along the line, I stumbled across Dennis Becker’s 5BucksADay eBook. Which got me to Earn1KaDay. Which eventually got me here. A month or two after arriving, I actually did something with the info I gleaned here, and before I knew it began to make some actual money. Pay-off-all-our-bills-sans-the-mortgage money. Life changing money.

Oh, and did I mention, I enjoy the hell out of the process?

A year down the line, mid five-figures worth of stupid debt is gone, and just shy of the balance remaining on the mortgage is sitting in our savings account. And I’m trudging my way through a bit of mid life crisis because I can’t quite decide what direction I want to take my life versus the standard one concerning the path one has found themselves cornered into.

Here’s to the next 12 months… :)

If that brief little brain dump isn’t crystal clear, I’ll spell it out more explicitly. I seriously can’t recommend any of these three resources more highly:

Post to Twitter

  • sean you have a nice blog, why don't you post more frequently? i miss you
    .-= tommy@home improvement´s latest: Quick Repair For Leaking Pipes =-.
  • A year can do too much, if I recall back, I find so many changes happened to me in just 1 year. And yeah sometimes with paid memberships, you get access to the guru's collections and you find strategies direct from the experts which you would have never thought about. So it's good and if it's not scam and works well then it's wonderful.
  • I also whish you a great anniversary. Keep up the good work.

  • Great post, I don't think some book will help a person to earn money quickly & these days many people are willing to get rich quickly. Making money takes time & hardworking & When i say hardworking it's like focus on your target forget about everything & let this to your First Thing First List. It's really good to see that you build things step by step, it's good to be Organized. In the end i want to share a thought "People will be there to teach us & guide us & show us the direction, But we have to walk the path alone". So I think it's all up to an individual.
  • May i greet you Happy Anniversary. Good that you are already making money and enjoying at the same time. I would love to go to that point. Just wish i would.
  • Actually Mark & Sarah, I wouldn't consider any of those three to really be your run of the mill, side selling, step-by-step guides. I've certainly bought my share of those over the years, and there aren't but a handful of those I'd consider worth whatever pittance I paid for them. These three are definitely different than your run of the mill ebook.

    In fact, Campaign Blasts might be the closest to what you may be thinking of the three, in that a portion of it is a well-defined system for finding profitable markets to expand into. How you expand on that is where the process really shines. What gets done with what you discover beyond that point is really up to your imagination.

    The other two -- 5 Bucks a Day and Earn 1k A Day -- offer up something unique, at least compared to what I've seen elsewhere. I think of them more like meta-systems -- more like system-creating systems -- versus anything as simplistic as a cookie cutter approach to a business that will be cloned a thousand times by the uncreative.

    But feel free to reinvent the wheel from that first spoke if that's what trips your trigger... ;)

  • It would be good to earn and have fun at the same time. You are correct, heres to the next 12 months....and more 12 months to come.
  • Nice post. I agree with Mark though. Everyone is trying to make a quick buck and the author's make money off of us who buy their catchey titles :-) When I started my Dallas Real Estate company, it was a lot of sweat & tears, but it was all worth it. You've got to work hard to make a living.

  • so you built ed everything step by step, that's great, but i won't advise any other to buy such books with title EARN 5BUCKS A DAY, because those book have no reference the author itself earns from you, lol, but better to rub your brain and bring out something new, innovative...
