The Purpose of "OPP"

Hello Blog readers:

On August 18, 2016, which is exactly 17 months ago, I started this blog:

On the

Pathway to

Prosperity

My first posting provided you a blueprint of what I wanted to accomplish with this blog.  Exactly 17 months later, I want to expand on my purpose for writing this blog.   Listed below are the four reasons:

1:  My Personal Journal

I had always dreamed of starting a blog.  Previously, I had a blog on an adult website, and more recently I had started a blog, My Journey to Self Employment, in which I chronicled my journey to becoming my own boss, which I did in May of 2016 when I left JP Morgan Chase after 16 years.  Once I left the 9-to-5, I had a vision for the next blog I wanted to start.  My vision is to chronicle my journey from mediocrity to millionaire status.  Thus, you can say that "OPP" is my personal journal that will follow my journey from making no money online to creating a net worth of at least a million dollars.  If you follow me on my Pathway to Prosperity, you will get to see it first hand as I will periodically provide updates on my journey.  

2:  Internet Marketing is for Real

It is ironic how you hear about a person after he or she has made thousands of dollars online (or so it seems).  For me, I want to make myself known at THIS point in my journey.  Thus, at this time, I have made very little money online (I made money tutoring math).  Following me in my journey, you will see that can go from making no money online to making a significant amount.  Even though I eventually want to make $10k or more per month, my immediate goal is to start making at least $5k per month, so at that point, internet marketing will become my full-time venture. 

3:  Inspire Others to Take Action

In addition to inspiring to become a millionaire, I want to help others take the same path of success.  As I am discovering the Pathway to Prosperity, I want to share it with others who read my blog and with ones who visit my personal website.  I want to prove to the world that if I, an average "Joe", can make money online, anyone can, if you have the will to do so.

4:  Create Business Relationships

Not only do I want to lead by example, I would also like to build business relationships along the way.  It is said that it takes a TEAM to make things happen.  With that in mind, I would like to build a team of dedicated Internet Marketers to join me in my ventures, such as SFI and soon, my Bitcoin Wealth Club opportunity. 

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

In 2018, I want to increase my blog readers.  I promise to post to this blog more frequently, and provide more content.  After all, internet marketing is still a learning process for me, and believe me, once I learn more about how it works, I will definitely share it with my readers.  

Have a good day, and strive to be the best!

OPP Update: January 2018

HAPPY NEW YEAR BLOG READERS!!!!!

The New Year has finally come!  We said goodbye to 2017, and we are now welcoming a brand new year, 2018!  For the past several weeks, we have been engrossed into the holiday season, which started with Thanksgiving in late November, and ending with New Years Day, 2018.  Now that the holiday season is officially over, it is time to get down to business!  

In the past few months, since I've moved to my brother's home, I have been attempting to feel my way in terms of what my role is as an Internet Marketer.  Yes, my planning was great.  However, when it came to implementing my plan, I fell behind!  After I got evicted from my home last April, my goal was to come here to my brother's home to get more involved in my internet marketing.  Unfortunately, I pushed my internet marketing efforts to the back burner and let other things (laziness, TV time, leisure activities, my customer service jobs) dictate my time.  

One of the major steps I have been attempting to accomplish for months is to build a landing page in order to build my e-mail list.  Because I have no idea how to set one up, I let other things take precedence of my time, such as submitting my safelist postings.  Last month, after rejoining ClickBank University, I decided to put my safelist advertising on the shelf and to focus more on: 

• making improvements to my personal website
• creating a landing page to build my e-mail list

So far, I have made some improvements to my personal website (which I will discuss more in detail in a future posting).  As of this posting, I have yet to build a landing page, but I have been reading and watching YouTube videos on how to set one up.  

Nevertheless, my mindset has changed as far as my career.  In 2017, if you would have asked me what I do for a living, I would have told you that I have 2 customer service jobs, without mentioning my internet marketing business.  Ask me the same question today, and it will be different.  As of right now, my occupation is an Internet Marketer, with 2 customer service positions.  In order for me to start raking in at least $5k per month, I need to treat my internet marketing efforts like a full-time business.  

Below, I have listed the projects I will be focusing on today and in the coming months.  I listed these projects in the order of priority, with the top ones listed first:  

1.  Building a Landing Page   

At this point, I am trying to decide whether to create my landing page through the same site where I built my personal website, 1&1 (which I will need to pay a fee), or build the page through Mailchimp.   I believe I can build a page through Mailchimp for free, so if that's the case, then I will utilize Mailchimp.   Once I build my page, then I will be able to create my e-mail list and create a newsletter, which I will use to provide free information and also to promote my affiliate sites.

2.  Learning about Bitcoins   

I am so excited about this opportunity.  I have heard so much about bitcoins in the past year, so now I will be digging into this opportunity for myself.  Last month, I joined the Bitcoin Wealth Club, so I will be learning more about bitcoins and how they work.  Once I learn the ropes, I will be inviting others to join me in this journey. 


💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

3.  Adding Content to my Personal Website   

So far, I have made improvements to "My Marketplace" on my website, in which, I created a better presentation for each of my ClickBank affiliate products.  In time I will make more enhancements to my website to give it a more professional look.  My plan is to also increase the traffic going to my site.  After all, my personal website is MY BRAND, so I have to represent my brand the best way possible. 

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

4.  Becoming More Proficient with my Blog   

Obviously I will need to post more frequently to my blog to increase my readership, but I also want to cover more topics within my blog.  Trust me, it's coming!  As I treat my internet marketing business as a full-time business, in turn, I will post more to my blog.  Those posting will be even more frequent once I reduce the hours of my customer service/sales positions.

5.  Strong Future International   

This is a business that I have been involved with for nearly 17 years.  However, I have yet to make it work.   SFI has one of the best affiliate programs on the internet today, giving you the opportunity to build several streams of income (I will discuss this business in more detail in a later posting).  Once I create my e-mail list, I will start recruiting a team of dedicated entrepreneurs who are looking to create wealth together (yes, it takes a TEAM to make this work).  I have made this a personal challenge to make at least $5k a month with this venture alone.    

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

6.  Safelist Advertising   

I have not totally abandoned this form of advertising.  Though I most likely won't make $10k or more using this form of advertising, it could help me rake in some extra change.  I am a member of over 60 safelists, and I plan to not only advertise my brand on those safelists, but I will recruit others to join the safelists, and perhaps make money with each of them. 

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

7.  Math Made Easy Tutoring   

Even though my tutoring business is at the bottom of my priority list, there are students who need help with their math, so I will still tutor on the side.  Once I get my other ventures into place, I plan to promote my tutoring services a little more. 

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

I will be working on the above projects in the coming months.  My immediate goal is to make $15k in sales (with my ClickBank affiliate products) as quickly as possible, so I will be rather busy.  Once I raise those funds, I will be able to get my own apartment, then really take off with my internet marketing career.

I definitely have a lot on my plate in the coming weeks, but I would have it no other way.  The majority of my time will be to provide customer service for the two positions and also to build my internet marketing business.  While I am waiting on calls for the customer service positions, I will be using that time to build my business.  My hard work will pay off, and TOTAL FINANCIAL FREEDOM is just around the corner.  

In my next posting, I will redefine the purpose of my blog, and the things I will do to improve on it.  Until then, let's have a prosperous and productive 2018!
