I just want to come out and say that I am a lazy ass. haha… But really I’m lazy lately and I have finally noticed it and am going to do something about it. I haven’t done a single thing on my computer since last week and it is now Thursday. I CANT HAVE THAT!!! I will be going no where if that is the way that my work ethics end up. You see usually on the week days I would work a full day with my dad and then I would come home, shower, eat, and all that good stuff then I would sit downstairs and play video games with my roommate till like almost midnight. Then I would come upstairs and start working on my computer. After about a half hour I was so tired that I had to stop and go to bed. Which means that I got NOTHING done. Imagine how long it will take me to make a good amount of money working only a half hour a day. Not only that but on the weekends I would work even less!! Well usually some weekends I did a lot but not the past little while. Now the holidays are here which means even less time to work because I have to spend time with family and all that good stuff. The worst part is that I am kinda financially screwed at the moment so I am trying to work as much as possible with my pops.

As of the first of 2010 things are going to change though I will be starting on my business and I will be working at least twenty hours during the week on my computer and at least six on the weekends. I don’t find that to be a hard goal to meet and in fact I would rather just work double that and more than likely will. My roommate has a goal of being worth a million by age 25. He is 22 now and he makes very good money. He works all the time and has amazing ideas so I believe that he will meet this goal. I have decided to start the same goal as of today and I will be doing everything in my power to make sure that i achieve that goal. I seem to find him very inspirational in the weirdest (or perhaps best) of times haha. So that’s all i really have to say. Its time to get down to business. Be easy!

Goalz

1) Start LeeWai Media asap.
2) Finish LeeWai Media asap!

Wow! I think I have gained about ten pounds this week haha… I love the holidays so much its got to be the best time of the year. I am really into snowboarding so I love the snowy weather. I like being surrounded by family that you don’t see very often. And i love giving and getting presents but then again who doesn’t.

Lately I have still been trying to edit the product page on my e-com sites so that they look more appealing to the customers, but it is harder than hell! I have been the the forum of the plugin creator Instinct but I have yet to get a reply so I’m kinda at a stand still. If anyone reading this knows how to edit the template files or knows anywhere I can get help that would be much appreciated…

Besides that I have been really looking into this new project that I am starting for a friend. Its going to be a great investment and it will give me some good practice which I am looking forward to. Plus I really have nothing to work on because getting wholesalers to drop ship is more time consuming than I first thought. Its okay though I’m just glad to see them in the finishing stages, and everyone I have showed them to thinks I did a great job and that makes all the time and effort worth while.

One thing that I am going to try out with this new project is to create a review site for the products that are going to be sold. I have been looking into these sites and they seem to convert like crazy. My room mate is also using review sites and they are working just fine for him. You see what you do is you fill the site with a ton of useful information and you rank it in Google and leave it link free. Once people hear of the site gain its trust and refer to it all the time you can then add links to the site you are trying to promote. You can also use a lead capture on the top of the site promoting a fantastic deal that people just cant pass up. Thats how you get people into your mailing list which is another key tool when it comes to completing sales. So there is the tip of the day haha you can thank me later…. Plus they are cheap and you can make them simple because simplicity sales. Be easy!

Future Goals

1) Continue product page edit.

2) Build a review site for new project.

3) Learn something new everyday.

4) Prepare for CHRISTMAS!!!! yay!

Lately I have been finishing up on all my e-com sites. I am a touch behind schedule which is okay because this is the first real push I have completed and I think I did pretty dam good. I plan on start LeeWaiMedia.com at the first of the year. My plan is to buy the domain on New Years day haha… and I hope to have it basically complete by the end of next year. If I can pull that off I will be completely satisfied with myself. I also plan on a few side projects though, so I wont be devoting all my time to it, just the vast majority.

I have also started trying new ways to network myself and get my name and my talent out to the public a little more. So far I have about three to four new projects that I will creating for clients that I have met locally. I have been researching all the specs of the products I will be selling and its surprising how good they seem to be. I would have never thought of any of the things I’m about to invest in. Which is the key, if you can come up with a nitch that is low pro. but sells like crazy you have yourself a gold mine. You can find these thing out with Adwords Tool and Yahoo link check. My roommate has stumbled across a few of these mines himself and has been raking in over half his income with them. That’s what I love best about this job is the time it takes to come up with something creative and exciting. You never know what is going to happen either… how its gunna go. You could strike it rich or you could go broke and spend money on nothing. I’m still a little worried on how my current sites are going to do. Although research says they should succeed with virtually no problems. Anyone out there who has great nitch ideas please feel free to fill me in, I have a small bunch myself that I will have no time to get to.

My friend Twyla Blue is in town for a few weeks. I’m glad she could finally make it down because now I have all the hemp accessories that she has been working on, and I can take pics and upload them to the site I made with her. She does some pretty neat stuff I might add.. she is making me a necklace for helping her and its turning out sick.

Seeing as how the holidays are finally here I will have a little more time to work on my sites, especially during the breaks like this week… I only work today and tomorrow and I have the rest of the week and weekend to work online and I should get a sufficient amount of work done. at least I plan to

I’m about to edit the product page of all my sites so that they look more appealing to my customers. The problem is that I have to research how exactly to do it because my roommate doesn’t know how, and no one else I have asked has heard of it either. I do have a few reliable sources to look into though which is what I have been doing the past few days. Once I get the product pages the way that I want them everything should be finished and ready for managing.. which means I can then move on to bigger and better things.

Okay so last thing… While I was with Jon tonight, we were talking about one of his C.O.D. buddies that has just sold his company for big money. He said that he built it from scratch and it was an affiliate tracking system that allowed you to keep track of many different affiliate companies at once. He said the trick to his success was no trick at all, he worked 18 hour days and suffered for two years so that he would be able to survive comfortably. I kinda took that to hart cause for a while I started wondering if all the big wigs just got a big break that I was never going to get. I felt like my effort wasn’t going to pay off in the end but now I look at it a little differently. After hearing that it makes me want to work my ass off and buckle down for the next few years so I can do the same thing he did. I’m still waiting for that big failure or setback that I should be getting haha… maybe ill get lucky who knows. Be easy!

GOALZ

1) Completely edit project page.

2) Get set up for new projects.

3) Learn more about Adwords and S.E.O.

4) Write up a business plan for LeeWaiMedia.com.

I’m glad to say that i am very close to completing my line of four e-commerce websites. I only started this project two months ago and all I have left to do is upload products and finish writing content for all the info. pages I applied to my sites. I did this so that my customers could get questions answered and also so I could rank up for certain key words in SEO. Take in mind that I was also creating other sites in the process, three to be exact.

I left the content till last because I knew that it would be one of the biggest challenges to me. I was going to go with a professional writer but i soon realized that i was not in the right financial state to do so. So its up to me to make sure my sites present as professional as possible while staying informational and easily navigated.

I will admit that is has gotten easier over the past couple of days that I have been writing. The first day was pretty pathetic because i would write about a paragraph and then I would change it like twenty times before I was satisfied. Once I realized what exactly it was I wanted to say it became a little easier to write more with less changes, in turn speeding up the process. I believe that i only have the rest of the day to write before I am complete which sounds amazing because I am getting burnt out rather quickly with filling content to the point where I don’t even want to work anymore. NOT GOOD.

Which is the reason that i am writing this blog. I favor this site over all the rest because I get to speak my mind which comes naturally to me. It also allows me to vent if you will a little and usually once I have completed a blog I can get back to work and become more productive. I really cant complain though cause I get to do what I love all day everyday, and I dot know many people that can say the same thing.

I found a great forum generating program that I herd of through my room-mate Jon. It is an outstanding program although it was kinda difficult to install and start-up for me. It was probably because it was my first time doing something like that but I’m glad I investigated because it is going to help me out a lot in the future when it comes to creating forums in my future projects. Speaking of future projects my room-mate mentioned a three way business idea that he was talking to one of his other business partners, and was wanting me to create that site and do a little design work. The best part is that i don’t think I will have to fill content because Jon has a writer and the money to get the articles wrote, yay! And with that I have pretty much ran out of things to say, plus football is on. Be easy!

MY GOALS

1) Finish content tonight.

2) Finishing contacting wholesalers.

3) Upload products and tweak product pages.

4) Consult about new business idea.

Hi there! So lately I have been able to keep myself busy. So busy in fact, that I was originally going to post this blog three days ago but I have been so swamped that I just haven’t got around to it.

So, in the midst of being completely tied up with my work, I have been part of this start-up company for the past few months and we have finally launched our official website. The name of our site is the “Networkerswatchlist.com”. Now, let me tell you a little about our company and what it is we do.

My business partner is a guy by the name of Dillon Randall, he is a very humble & intelligent person with a passion for helping people as much as possible. We were introduced by one of my best high school buddies, who just so happened to be Dillon’s little brother. Dillon came to me with the idea of a website that put credibility back to the web. I liked this idea a lot so I took him up on his offer of teaming up on this company and really helping people and not trying to scam them like all the other sites you see out there.

For the past six months or so, Dillon and I have been studying and researching all we possibly can on MLM sites and Network Marketing. In doing so we posted all the information that coast us excessive time and money on our site even more detailed & for FREE. Another thing we have done is created a Watchlist page that lists all the top software we encountered during our journey and we are still adding more as the days go by. Our intention is to provide all the information one would need to succeed in Multi-Level Marketing and Network Marketing free of charge, because we don’t believe in paying for piece of mind. We also wanted to let you know which software you should use and which ones were not quite what they were talked up to be.

That’s not all either! We also offer one more thing that no one else does. Free over the phone training with a live certified coach. This way you can understand the information we provide to you and you use it to its full potential. We are above the rest of them and we are willing to show you, so please stop by for a little free piece of mind on how you can make REAL money online today! Be easy!

More Goals

1) Invest in a shopping cart program.

2) Obtain products from my friend blue, for our site.

3) Create a request service form for my father’s business site.

4) Research a new nitch my girl friends parents are involved in.

This week I have got a lot of work done. I finally got to meet with one of my business partners for the first time in more than a month. We uploaded a bunch of videos and content to our site for our customers to prosper off of. I am really excited to be in the position I am in right now I should be making money in no time now. All my hard work is almost done and then we can see how all my sites go.

Google Analytics is one of the new software programs that I am using now. Its a great tool for anyone who is looking to go into an online business. Basically what it does is tracks the traffic for your sites. You can upload as many sites to it as you want and it will give you a piece of code to insert into the html code of your site and it does all the rest. It shows you the stats in a dot graph format that is very easy to read and understand. One of my favorite features is where it tells you which pages are being viewed and for what length of time. This will allow you to tweak poor traffic pages to keep up with the higher traffic ones. It also has a pie graph that shows you where your traffic is coming from such as Google or any other site you have a link on. It even goes as far as to show you which continents you are getting views from with a map overlay! All of these things plus much more such as goal setting and bounce rates make this a superb program for anyone who is looking to track their work in detail which is why I use it. Best of all its FREE! Be easy!

“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

Some Goals to Meet:

1) Research new nitche ideas

2) Download a shopping cart plugin

3) Search for a few good marketing tips

4) Continue to Network

So today was a good day as far as work goes. I finished all the pages in one of my new e-commerce sites. Now, all I need to do is write up a sales letter for my writer to translate into perfection. I reached all my previous goals and am very satisfied about it. Something I learned during my journey is that I am using alot of software that I never thought I would need to use. It doesn’t bother me at all it is just surprising. One of the best software I have used so far is Adobe’s Fireworks.

Fireworks was originally designed my Marcomedia before it was bought out by Abode. It was basically photoshop for Macromedia software. And its a truly amazing software if you ask me. I used fireworks to do some design work on the header of this site actually. It allows you to crop, lighten, blur, paint, and even ad text to any photo you upload. It has a very basic setup as well, you have a sidebar on the left that list all the tools you can use. It has a canvas where all the images will go. On the right it has a menu bar with options ranging from layers to colors to even assets. On the bottom portion of the screen is a menu bar that allows you to change colors, fonts, and font sizes. Almost all the tabs and tools have different options that allow you to change them up a little bit. It allows you to manage all your projects and and it comes with a tutorial on how to optimize the software as a whole. Although it does take some time to get used to, it is my choice when it comes to messing with images and headers, which is why i decided to blog about it. Unfortunately Adobe doesn’t offer fireworks anymore because they have photoshop to replace it. So in order to use it you would have to have Macromedia’s web design package that was produced about five years ago. Be easy!

Future goals I have set.

1) upload all the product images to my sites

2) fill my sites with content

3) market as much as possible

4) boost site visits to this site

So the past little while I have kinda switched my focus from networking myself to learning more about web back ends. Smart choice? Maybe not as much as I thought. You see I am the kind of person that gets a little too excited about a certain something that I learn and I like to work on nothing but that specific thing. Its kind of a bad habit but its something I can’t help no matter how hard I try. You see once I learned that I needed to network in order to make money that is all I focused on but then I got into back ends and I kinda left the networking scene which wasn’t smart because after all networking is going to take the longest and is probably the most important.
The lesson is to broaden my focus just a touch so that I don’t completely stop with one part of the process. It may be difficult but multi-tasking is the only way to go. I am also excited to be starting school real soon. I am going to get my associates degree in web graphic design. I hope to learn much much more about my passion and further my success as much as possible. For now I am off the learn more about the web and how to create and manage a business online. Until next time be easy!

Here are some future goals

1) continue networking

2) contact wholesale suppliers

3) brainstorm more nitches

4) rank my sites before x-mas in google

So the past few days I have been taking it easy. Or bein lazy if you wanna put it that way. I am going to a concert tonight with a sexy girl I just meet but after that it is back to business. Last night I got to view the design for the e-commerce stores that me and my roommate are starting. Once he integrates them I will be able to start tweaking and adding products. From there it is up to him to market the sites so we can make some money. I also talked to a friend of mine that moved away, she is tying a lot of hemp and wants to start a store online so I am going to help her with that. I had an idea to do something similar a while ago but I let the idea slide until I talked to her. Now I’m excited to get started on it asap.

Besides that life is basically the same. I am still focused on marketing myself to other people that have the same interests as me or people that will be able to help me out in the near future. I’m doing pretty good if you ask me I have way more followers on twitter and facebook then I had a few days ago plus I have meet people from all across the globe that design web sites. So I have been picking their brains as much as I possibly can. Haha I hope I’m not being too big of a pain.

Things I am working on now:

1) Networking Myself and my sites

2)Preparing for the E-com stores

3)Thinking of new niches to look into

4)Logo design for my friends site

5) Learning all that I can

Be easy!

So a few months ago I met my current roommate Jon Waraas. I didn’t really know much about him except he owned a few websites online. I am interested in doing the same thing so I started talking to him a little about it and I am more than glad I did so. You see now Jon has helped me out more than anyone I can think of. He is always willing to answer a question no matter how stupid or off task it is, or whatever else I may need help with. Sometimes I feel like I am just bothering him asking questions or for help all day every day, but he always says it is no problem. Without him idk where I would be right now but I know it would be nothing close to what I have now. He has taught me about S.E.O. web backends and wordpress… All thing I had no idea about. He is absolutely great at what he does and he is self taught so he knows all the ends and outs like he knows the English language.

We are currently working together on a few e-com sites. Thanks to him they are almost ready to launch and hopefully we make some good money at it. More than all I will learn everything there is to creating, managing, and marketing a website properly so I am stoked to get it done. I guess I just wrote this blog to say THANKS A BUNCH JON!!!! And if you don’t know who he is you should check him out, it will be one of the best things you have done lately I promise. Be easy!
