Background Info
The first post!!
What is this Blog about? That's the question.
The answer is a lot of things. It's about the fact that I have taken redundancy from my manegerial position with a FTSE 100 company in the UK to make my living on my own online.
It's about the fact that I am fast approaching 40 (39, 2 days ago) and want to perfect my life. Although some would say it's pretty good already!
I guess they are the two main subjects. Can I make a decent living online and if so how did I do it. And what is my perfect life?
I don't think I'm going to divulge my name, it may be that nobody ever sees this but just in case and to protect me from looking a prize prat at any time in the future I think I will be anonymous. I will say that I live in a small village about 100 miles from London, UK and I have a wife and two daughters.
How will I make money?
My first goal is to create Google Adwords campaigns. If you search on Google you will see small ads down the right hand side of the page. These ads can be bought by anyone and the price you pay is on a per click basis. You bid for a position if you bid the highest whenever somebody clicks on your ad you pay the amount you bid.
What do you advertise? Well a great number of websites operate affiliate programs. An affiliate program is where the site will pay you if you send a visitor to their site and that visitor does some pre agreed action. EG signs up for a mailing list or buys something.
Basically then I am finding profitable affiliate schemes and then promoting them on Google and taking the difference between the cost of the ad and the commision paid as my earnings.
I have other plans also which I will share as I go along.
I've just remembered the other thing I want to talk about in this blog is the 80/20 rule and I will deal with this again later.
Ok that is enough for a first post, will there ever be a second post. Well that is a little test for me and hopefully I will pass that test tomorrow.
