So,

I believe I'm going to try and do a blog post everyday about my progress.  This way I can be honest to myself, and at some point look back at me when I was still a noob and laugh.  Hopefully this can also serve as an inspiration to other members as well.

 Anyways,  last night I read through the 8 week action plan.  Really read it.  Then starting tonight around 9:00 I read it again, and took notes so it all sunk in.  This way I can have a clear view of what is expected of me for the next 8 weeks, which hopefully I can get down in less, without having to constantly go back and ask myself what now?  As I said I've had some experience on IM, and surprisingly a lot of this information I knew or was at least familiar with.  Which is good.

 Right now it's about a little after 3, and I'm going to sit down and write out my goals.  Both for the short term and the long term.   Then I have to decide if I let my excitement push me through the night on WA, or I actually close my eyes and sleep.  I feel like the latter right now, but the great thing about insomnia is that changes at a moments notice.

 I'm also getting my first ideas about my first campaign.  I want it to be music oriented, inside the playing an instrument category.  I've played guitar and bass for a little over 10 years now, and that would be a killer first campaign.  That's definitely something I get excited about and I want to make my own product on someday.   That would definitely be a lot more fun than researching something I'm not familiar with.  God is IM great...

 Anyways, I can sum up my first day like this:  I've got my foundation of what I'm going to be doing for the next 8 weeks on the areas I have to learn more about, begin to utilize, and utilize them successfully.

Tomorrow, I hit the nuts and bolts training for SEO and Article Marketing.  If I have/make time  I'll also start on the website training as well.  But I probably won't have as much time to spend as I want because I have a Java program due Thursday and another one due Friday.
