Then I Go And Do The Complete Opposite
Yeah, yeah on Friday I was all about resting and looking after myself by staying in bed and reading a book. That hasn’t happened and here comes the justification.
Remember my post about a couple of ways I was willing to swap my time for a free MacBook Pro. One of those being an entry into the Marketing Pilgrim’s Search Engine Scholarship competition. Come Friday night I knew I was way too fatigued to get my head together to write something of any value so I wrote it off as an “oh well next time” kind of thing.
I woke up Saturday morning feeling pretty fresh and was checking out my Google Reader when lo and behold I see the post that Andy Beal had extended the deadline. Now to me that means two things, one there has not been many entries or not many of any note, and two I had the whole weekend to give it a crack.
Up went the motivation levels and I quickly scribbled down a diagram about what I was to write about. About two hours effort later (shockingly inadequate but all I am going to spend) I have submitted it. I really wanted to to be proof read by someone else before doing so, but Twitter is up and down like a bride’s nightie at the moment and on impulse I pressed send. Then I saw a typo in the text…. *sighs*
When it is published on the Marketing Pilgrim site I would like everyone to have a look and be genuine in your feedback and social love. I have not really put myself up as any kind of font of knowledge in this area before and have relied heavily on how I would like to see articles written.
Anyway each attempt is one step up the ladder in experience, and even if you think it is total crap I will learn from it.
Hot on the heels of that piece of work I submitted another two articles to Knewsroom and saw them published. That is another $300 in the kitty. If I keep this up I will have enough for a fully kitted out Macbook Pro in just over a week….still have to see the cash yet.
So here it is Sunday afternoon and I am writing a couple more Knewsroom articles and only then will I put some time into my eBook. I have the feeling that every day I don’t get it published is a bunch of sales down the drain, but maybe that is just my incurable optimism. The revised day for publication will now be more like next Friday.

A Good Day
Quick snippets of news from my day that really are relevant I swear!
Snippet 1: Knewsroom got their back end in gear and busted out the totals for work produced in the first couple of days. My 3 published articles and various investments made me US$468. For the amount of time I invested this was a bountiful return! Hurrah for Knewsroom
Snippet 2: The SpyBiz article about my being a Geek Girl Blogger was published today. I realised after the fact that there are bits from my geeky past that I forgot to add in, like meeting my (now ex) husband on a BBS back in 1985, or writing game reviews for AtomicMPC . or my PC building and modding, or my game playing (cannot wait for Spore to be released!)…but I think you get the picture, I am a Geek and and Girl…and I blog.
Snippet 3: I may be a bit quiet for the next two days in my usual haunts such as twitter as I am trying very hard to write something decent for MarketingPilgrim’s SEO Scholarship. Erm yes I have left it till the last moment and am despairing that i will even get it finished in time to get it in….just need to figure out what to write about
A lazy post i know, apologies!

What The Hell Was I Worried About?
This week has so far been a whole heap of “signs” from the universe that I am being silly worrying about product creation. Sure those sign are just my Reticular Activating System (RAS) kicking in and showing me what I want/need to see, but boy does it feel good.
First off was a rash of launches by marketers that lead to a bunch of free stuff being offered as sweeteners to sign up. As discussed in this previous blog post I do not like paying for crap and have been fearful of producing crap myself. So I took the time and read/researched and ripped into some of this free information, and you know what? I can do that!
Next off, seemingly unrelated, by highly relevant to me, was vindication of my writing/analytical skills by my PPC ad campaign Project Super Nova. After running for 3 days UK vs USA, I decided to test which country was actually buying. Turns out it was the USA. The USA also had a preference of one ad over another. The current figures for that ad are20.89% CTR at position 1.2 @ 33c. I am limiting to a measly $10 a day, but the PPC has certainly bought traffic AND sales up!
Thirdly I have been selected by @SpyJournal as a Geek Girl blogger to interview for a feature on …female geek bloggers. Very flattering and allowed me some reflection time on why I do the things I do. One of them being that I love to get my “stuff” out there. Time to get one of my products finished.
Lastly I have been having a fair bit of success on Knewsroom writing articles. I wish I had more time to improve the quality, as $150 a published item is nothing to sneeze at. This has been great fun (but also a time sucker) and got me in the mood to keep going with the product.
Plan is to have it up and on sale by this weekend. I am quite excited!
The other projects are pottering along, guru.com is sending me quotes daily on one of them which also will need to be picked up in earnest next week.
Stay tuned
Planned and executed my exit from the corporate world. Walked away with a 6 figure payment to boot.
