Two Thousand Eighteen

HAPPY HOLIDAYS blog readers:

The New Year is just around the corner (which at the time I'm typing this sentence is less than 29 hours away).   I just want to use this time to reflect on my year of 2017.  

In May of 2016, I made the bold move of leaving my $20.00 per hour job at JP Morgan Chase to become my own boss.  Initially, I wanted to tutor math full-time.  However, that did not work in my favor.  At the end of 2016, I began working as an customer service agent for an outsourcing company, NexRep, which took me into 2017.  

In my first full year of working from home, I had a few ups and downs.  First of all, I was evicted out of my apartment, so I had to get accustomed to living under someone else's roof for the first time in 25 years.  Even though I lost my total privacy, living under my brother's roof is not a bad move.  For one, it gives me an opportunity to rebound financially.  My expenses are down, which means I can ultimately put money away and not live paycheck to paycheck.   

In January I started doing customer service/sales with Tan Physics, in which I will be celebrating my one-year anniversary next month.  I also started doing customer service for Staples through Arise in late August.  If all goes well, these two positions will be my last positions in which I will earn a hourly wage.  

In late November, I placed a brief halt on my safelist advertising to focus more on improving my website and also to build a landing page in order to build my e-mail list.  I will discuss my progress with these next month!

If you are reading this, and you are an Internet Marketer, as yourself these questions:

"What goals have I set for 2018"

"Where do I see myself one year from now?"

If you are able to answer these questions definitively, then you could be on your way to earning  a steady income online (if you're not doing so already).  For those who cannot answer these questions, I hope I am able to be an inspiration to you and get you more motivated to take action.  Better yet, if you are serious about becoming a better Internet Marketer, perhaps we can work together to make that happen.  After all, it's better to do things as a team!

In my monthly update posting, I will discuss my blueprint for becoming successful in 2018.  Until then:  

OPP Update: December 2017

Good afternoon blog readers.....and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄

We are in the midst of the 2017 Holiday season and most of are in a festive mood.  A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated Thanksgiving....then we opened up the Christmas shopping season with Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  This festive mood will carry us up to Christmas Day and it will end on New Years Day 2018.  

🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄

Speaking of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I was rather busy on those days servicing for Staples.  As with any retail store, this is a busy time of year for Staples, which means that more people will be calling our customer service number.  For this month, my hours working Tan Physics has been reduced to 30 hours a week, which means that my Staples servicing has increased to 30+ hours a week.

🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄

In spite of my busy schedule, I have not neglected my internet marketing goals.  Even though I haven't done any blog postings in November, there has been a change in course in my marketing efforts.  First of all, I have begun reading my newly purchased e-book, Mastering Super Affiliate Marketing, and after reading the first chapter, I have a blueprint of how I'm going to get started.  

🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄

After signing in to my ClickBank account, I discovered that the purchase of the product I'm promoting (the MSAM e-book) earned me over $11 in sales.  In retrospect, it means that I paid a net of just over $6 for the product.  Seeing this result now gives me the desire to really promote this (and my other affiliate products) and to start earning income.  

🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄

In a surprise move, ClickBank University gave me an offer I could not refuse.  As part of a Black Friday sale, CBU reduced their monthly fee by 75% for the first month, so you know I took advantage.  Along with reading the MSAM e-book, I will utilize the information in CBU and continue my learning.  

🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄    

My blueprint to start earning income with internet marketing starts with ME and my BRAND!  My focus now is to work on my brand, which means updating my personal website. Eventually, I will be promoting all parts of my website, which includes SFI, Math Made Easy Tutoring, and my ClickBank affliate sites.  When I find the Bitcoin opportunity I want to promote, that will also be added to my website.  Once my website is fully updated, then I will be using it to network.  My next move afterwards will be to create a squeeze page to get others into my brand.  

🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄

With the Holidays approaching, I am not certain if I will be creating another posting covering a topic by the end of the year, but I will have a special Holiday posting around Christmas.  Until then, enjoy your Tuesday!
