Today is a Special Day For Me - A Reflection
Today is a VERY special day for me. When I started here in October of last year, I didn't know what to expect. I knew OF internet marketing and I was REALLY good at losing out on Pay-Per-Click. I didn't know though how to really market properly. I didn't know about articles, Squidoo Lenses, indexing, etc. So basically I knew that people spent a ton of money online, I just didn't know how to reach them.
My blog is pretty transparent with both my struggles and my successes. I, like most others, had my share of moments wondering this - "What in the heck am I doing here??" I mean I work in the transportation industry - how in the world can I succeed at internet marketing? Well, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this thing!
I posted last month that I had finally achieved a couple of my goals in making $100 in a day as well as having multiple sales in one day. I thought for sure that was the pinnacle of my success! And I was sure that was true...until today.
Most of you know that Pete (slugger_mn) and I have been working for the last five weeks or so on our own product. Let me tell you - IT WAS SO MUCH HARDER THAN I EVER COULD BEGIN TO IMAGINE!!! We were talking yesterday and we figured we probably have more than 200 hours into this product.
Now this is not a bad thing at all. There was just a LARGE learning curve that we had to overcome. Every time we get over a hurdle, another one came up. It was frustrating, but at the same time, it was BY FAR one of the most rewarding things that I have EVER done! I am know just that much more closer to achieving my goals.
Well today, we "officially" launched our product -
There is hours of video on there and just overall, a TON of information. To see that product finally up and running is truly a special moment in not only my internet marketing career, but in my LIFE! It really is a special day for me (and I would imagine for Pete as well)!
Of course there are little things that we are tweaking as go along, but it really is something amazing. I couldn't even SPELL HTML when I started here!! Now I have my own site?? ARE YOU JOKING ME??
Anyhow, I don't mean to come off as a bragger or anything like that, but I really did want to share this with everyone. I guess more so it should be an inspiration to those that are maybe struggling -
This can be done IF and only IF you work it. And I mean WORK IT! It takes time, but it can be done. I promise you that!
So if you want to, I invite you to take a look at Mike and Pete's new website -
For those of you that have always supported me, I cannot thank you enough. Your kind words have really kept me going! Thanks again!
