Website Building Update – Week 32
April 7th, 2010 by Clayton
I applied for a few retail jobs this week (thanks a lot professional masters degree…). I also just realized that SEOmoz is literally located about 5 blocks from where I live. They have an opening for a customer support position, so I applied. Man, that would be so cool if I could work there…
Anyway, I [...]

Website Building Update – Week 31
April 2nd, 2010 by Clayton
This week I redesigned website #1 after some people at Affilorama gave me a bit of a crit. Honestly, I’m liking the new layout better. It looks more professional, which I think is a good thing for the panic and anxiety niche.
I’m starting my “slow growth” strategy on some of my sites. I’ve [...]

Website Building Update – Week 30
March 26th, 2010 by Clayton
Well, now I’ve done it! I bit the bullet and finally formed an LLC company for all my internet exploits. I must admit that the process was remarkably easy, though incredibly stressful emotionally. It is hard to believe that I am now a genuine business owner. Datsu-Sara Media LLC was officially formed on March 25, [...]

Website Building Update – Week 29
March 19th, 2010 by Clayton
Well, I finished article spinning for website #6. I would have finished article marketing but AMA was giving me more problems this week and replacing a bunch of characters with garbage symbols in all my articles. Now I have to go back and edit all the crap out of my articles that they generously inserted [...]

Website Building Update – Week 28
March 12th, 2010 by Clayton
I hung out with some architecture friends this past weekend. One of them got cut back to 20 hours a week since there isn’t any work in the office. The other one is expecting to get laid off in April when the project she is working on finishes up (there are no new projects coming [...]

Website Building Update – Week 27
March 5th, 2010 by Clayton
Well, let’s keep going and start the next six months of this…
I fought back an urge to apply for a retail job at the mall, and decided to keep working full-time on these sites for another month. If things don’t start to improve more by then, I’ll probably get some kind of crappy job just [...]

Mistakes I’ve Made
March 2nd, 2010 by Clayton
So a bunch of you wanted to know what sorts of mistakes I’ve made in the past six months with internet marketing. I’m sure I’ve probably made a bunch of mistakes I’m not even aware of yet, but here’s what I do know about so far:
I built too many websites too fast. This is sort [...]

Website Building Update – Week 26
February 26th, 2010 by Clayton
Yikes! I started this 6 months ago? Time sure flies. It seems like just a few weeks ago that I sat down and wrote five panic attack articles on that warm August day. I hoped that by this point I would be rolling in dough, but I guess this whole business is harder than I [...]

The Slow Path to Here
February 23rd, 2010 by Clayton
I think it’s interesting to look back on the strange paths we take that lead us to where we are. Here’s my strange little path to where I am now.
I first found out about internet marketing from reading about something called the Golden Backdoor near the end of 2007. I was curious about it and [...]

Website Building Update – Week 25
February 19th, 2010 by Clayton
I built website #6 this week. I know it makes me a total nerd, but I’m really excited about this site! This is the first new site I’ve built since November. It’s almost exactly the same as website #4, so I expect it to start earning money in a few weeks. This will really help [...]
