A Slow Worm Thanks You For Your Ideas

Thank you to everyone that contributed to the Friday progress report last week I got some great ideas for products out of it, so thanks for that.

But please don't feel disheartened by the fact that I haven't acted on any of your suggestions yet! I'm a slow runner. I did say I was going to finish by Affiliate links directly for my wife, but she's not disheartened by the fact that I had not completed it yet either! (not much anyway! )

I have made good progress with the money tips however, in spite the fact that I am beginning to find a number of duplicate tips in the list I had. Earlier this evening I also figured out why my machine was doing strange things, after my newly installed Spybot software found 72 spy wares.

In short, my money website is progressing steadily. My Google advertising income has already surpassed their total from May. Although, after a few experiments based on some guru tips, my profit is currently set to come in at around £6 for the whole month. So the lesson I learnt this week is not to mess with a winning formula even if a guru tells me to. On the other hand, I would not have known that my formula or was the winning one without checking if the guru formula was!

This week I need your help by giving me a kick up the proverbial.

I have been slacking, or is certainly feels like I have, although the results seem to tell a different story. The fact remains that I have yet to complete any of my books, or publish my Affiliate directory. I seem to have been preoccupied with trying to figure out how to reduce the amount of admin have to do to maintain the website setup.

I have had a few suggestions for tools that will let me manage the website design template and content separately. I'm struggling with an issue where every time I publish new content I have a snippet of code that the template over writes without me wanting it to. Which is not nice. and creates work when I need to manually modify 60 odd pages!

I have actually found at couple of article directories and some handy website listing directories that might help me Websites relevance. The sales page front page of my website, could that actually be an obstacle generating subscribers and clicks on my website?

The reviews that I am writing I would consider to be public domain and as such might be better used as a loss leader and not as my main product.

But that is where your kick up my proverbial comes into play, because I need to begin creating and publishing my products.

So this week, could you'll please hold me accountable for producing and finishing my afilliate directory, one ebook, one Money article and one more thing which you can choose.

(dictated on Viavoice so apologies for any weird words or sentences! i have tried to check it all)

Catching Up Is Hard To Do

Today I am a little less behind than this time last week. I have one more tip to finish for the week and then I am expecting to be able to publish the updates as normal on Sunday night.

I should also have the first article ready by then.

What I have found though is that my newsletter last week bounced from rather alot of subscribers, so if you didn't get it, I am also creating a newsletter archive where you can review all the previous newsletters.

Well the one so far.

Anyway - You won't find it there now as the update will happen on Sunday evening around 8pm

This week has been an odd week. I have set myself some daily targets, and I feel like I am moving forward but it isn't as fast as I would like it to.

The main reason this week has been less productive is that I have had to update a seriously out of date document that my wife wants to use,

namely the directory of all my affiliate links - all 84 of them. And It is taking me a LOOOOOOOONG time to retrieve them all.

I do wish there was an easier way!

This weekend I feel like I need to finish the directory as well as the latest updates for the site. And if I have some spare time, finish my pdf book!

This weeks dilemma for you:

Do I need a product I can sell via affiliates? How long does that need to be before I can charge some money? Any suggestions for a topic?
