<p>I am now focused entirely on one site (my biggest earner) and am trying to get it&#8217;s earnings back up to what they were doing a few months ago.  From there I will be able to start outsourcing again and growing things far quicker.</p>
<p>The earnings havent yet risen, but this is where blind faith has to be taken into account.  I know this stuff works and so I simply carry on doing what I am meant to be doing because I know it will start to yield results soon.  This was my problem in the past, faith, and not having enough to keep at it, consistently.</p>
<p>Its a funny old game <img src='http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   If you&#8217;ve not yet bitten the bullet, I heartily recommend a look at <a title="Wordpress Goldmine" href="http://shaunbaird.com/mini-update-my-internet-marketing-life-the-past-month/" target="_blank">wordpress goldmine</a>.  Been there since October 2009.</p>
<p>Hope you have a great christmas.

		<description><![CDATA[Its been a really tough month due to a marriage split up but Im trying to get my IM career back on track]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="display:block;margin:0 auto 1.0em;text-align:center;"></div><div class="hbuttonsL"><ul class="hulistL"><fb:like href="http://shaunbaird.com/mini-update-my-internet-marketing-life-the-past-month/" layout="button_count" send="false" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></li><li class="hulineL"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="shaunbaird">Tweet</a></li><li class="hulineL" ><g:plusone size="medium"></g:plusone></li><li class="hulineL"; style="margin-right:15px;"><script type="in/share" data-url="http://shaunbaird.com/mini-update-my-internet-marketing-life-the-past-month/" data-counter="right"></script></li></ul></div><div id="fb-root"></div><div style="clear:both;"></div><p><a href="http://wpgoldmine.com/empower/go.php?r=1532&amp;i=l3"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-672" title="wordpress goldmine" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/eyeCN7921.jpg" alt="wordpress goldmine" width="250" height="126" /></a>I thought it would be good to mention something.  About 3 weeks ago my wife and I split up.  For a while I was extremely low, especially only seeing my kids half as much as what I was accustomed to.</p>
<p>Anyway, fast forward 3-4 weeks and I&#8217;m trying to rebuild my life.  I&#8217;ve taken up fitness and have managed to lose more than 14 pounds in weight and am determined to reinvent myself.  It also gives me a good feeling.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As for the internet marketing, well Ive not been able to face it at all since then, but I keep trying.  I keep checking in at my second home (<a title="Wordpress Goldmine" href="http://wpgoldmine.com/empower/go.php?r=1532&amp;i=l3" target="_blank">wordpress goldmine</a>) and am trying to keep up to date on things but I keep having up and down days.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I realize now that I NEED to make this stuff work, more than ever&#8230; not just for me, so I can buy anew home, but so I can buy myself more time, so I can take the kids to school, pick them up and be in their life as much as possible.   I also want to make myself a better proposition down the line, and this means getting regular income coming in, getting my website income well and truly UP and getting back on track with everything.  No more messing.</p>
<p>At some point I would want to meet someone new who also likes the things I do and see how that goes <img src='http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  but for now, life is happening again, slowly but surely.</p>
<p>Thankfully the adsense income has continued to come in and a trickle of amazon and clickbank but not as much as it used to be because Ive not shown the attention I should have done.</p>
<p>I keep kicking myself for all the missed opportunities.  If I had pushed hard regardless I may well have been on 10 x what I am on now and living a full time income-life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the real kicker and what I want to address now&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just trying to figure out a plan:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Quality content, outsourced marketing etc on a budget that I am going to stick to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I was spending $300 a month on content creation the income went up and up and up and the ride was amazing&#8230;  It got to about $70/day but then I needed the cash for other things, so that&#8217;s got to be the first thing to reinstate.</p>
<p>My role now is to get those keyword lists sorted out so I can send them to writers&#8230; lets get the good times going again.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>take care guys&#8230;

<p>I just thought I&#8217;d like to say that already we&#8217;ve gone past last months earnings for Adsense,  Weirdly, the amazon and clickbank have dropped the past 3 months, probbaly due to Panda, but since that day I&#8217;ve been revisiting my sites and improving their on-page seo, and trying to turn them into real, honest and legitimate pieces of content.  Yes, I always attempt to edit all my content so it gains a good ranking, and I try to work on suitable keyword phrases, but the goal is always to provide good content.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve not been wanting to showcase my actual earnings in recent months as I&#8217;ve been weighing up the ramifications of letting every man and his dog know what I earn.  I&#8217;m not so sure it&#8217;s always a good idea, not publicly anyway.  I have no problems in doing so privately, through the newsletter (you can sing up via the form in the left hand menu for free).</p>
<p>What I will say is that in the past 4 months I topped out at $1100 in a single month, with a strong mixture of promoting other products, software, and also the usual adsense, amazon and clickbank.</p>
<p>Ive been recently focusing heavily on adsense.  My best ever adsense was around £280 GBP, but I am happy to say this month surpassed that yesterday.  It&#8217;s kind of addictive, so I am pushing this more and more.  Im already £50 over that, so a new target has been hit, the £300 mark and also over £20 in a single day from adsense alone.</p>
<p>The key to the growth is through recent understandings since panda in May and onwards.</p>
<p>* Good quality content</p>
<p>* Good on-page seo</p>
<p>* LONG content length (2100 words minimum per post)</p>
<p>* Social backlinks</p>
<p>* Regular updated content &#8211; sites that sit stale for months will succumb eventually in my opinion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Right now I am revisiting my top 25 sites (slowly) and slowly going through all the posts, normally 1 a day.  I expand the content to over 2100 words, make sure it is good quality content, and get the on-page seo right.  Quality is everything and if I cant make it useful to the visitors I wont write it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By the way, I wrote an article on this site relating to a competition Mark has going in the WordPress Goldmine forum, to see who can rank for the phrase &#8220;fitness bootcamp&#8221; on page 1 by the end of October 2011.  Im goign against the grain, and have only done the on-page seo, and am not doing any backlinking or promotion to it at all, just to give a comparision, and see where things are on that date.  Chances are I&#8217;ll miss out because Ive not done any social backlinking but it may serve as useful somehow.</p>

<p>If fitness is on your mind, then a manic range of <em>fitness bootcamp exercises</em> will be right up your street.  Whatever it is in life you are looking fo, whatever part of your body, mind or soul you need to push hard then a lean body fitness bootcamp is going to blow you away, drive you crazy and then produce something a little bit magical &#8211; a brand new you that looks gorgeous, and makes you feel fantastic. Come on, surely you&#8217;d really like a little bit of this?</p>
<blockquote>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">If you can&#8217;t get your head into getting fit then a fitness bootcamp could mark the turning point in your life.</span></strong></h3>
</blockquote>
<div id="attachment_618" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-full wp-image-618" title="Fitness Bootcamp" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/fitness-bootcamp.jpg" alt="Fitness Bootcamp" width="250" height="183" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Raring to go with some exemplory fitness bootcamp routines that drag you to the end of your sanity?</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><em><strong>You want to look good right?</strong></em></span>  <em>Well?  Why are you here reading this right now</em>?  A fitness bootcamp is only ever going to give you what you want to put into it.  Sure, you may well have already tried a gazillion diets, joined classes, and filled your DVD cabinet with the latest and greatest workout, all fronted by a celebrity of the moment.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>It&#8217;s ok!  Nobody ever said it was easy, and that&#8217;s why people struggle.  That&#8217;s why a fitness bootcamp just makes so much sense!</strong></span></h3>
<p>If fitness is already a major part of your life, then you are probably looking for some more demanding workouts that can get you to the next level and give you some fantastic extra definition, and help you go that little bit faster, further and more comfortable.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>If I was to say that a fitness bootcamp may well be your only ever REAL chance of getting where you want to be, would you give it a go?  </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Go on, say no&#8230; it&#8217;s easier to say no, than it is to face up to what is really needed to be done.</em>..</span></p>
<div id="attachment_626" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 195px"><img class="size-full wp-image-626" title="Fitness Bootcamp Exercises" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/fitness-bootcamp-exercises.jpg" alt="Fitness Bootcamp Exercises" width="185" height="186" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Join a fitness bootcamp and meet the REAL YOU who is dying to get out and make you happy.</p></div>
<h3><em>Why a Fitness Bootcamp?</em></h3>
<p>Sure, you COULD get another DVD and you COULD go to a gym or run with a friend, but if any of you get fed up then you are going to quit and before long end up piling on more weight and feeling even worse than ever before.  <strong>Not a good idea, oh no!  With a fitness bootcamp you can&#8217;t fail unless you walk out!</strong></p>
<p>Think about it this way, when you attend a real life, proper, lean body <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fitness bootcamp</span>, all your excuses (and yes, you know deep down they are excuses) are thrown out of the window.  When you can&#8217;t be bothered to get up in the morning you can no longer turn on the snooze and turn over for more sleep.  Oh no!  This time round you are gonna be getting up and it will be time to put yourself out there with other people ion the same boat, all working hard at fitness bootcamp together.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Nobody ever said it would be easy, but it WOULD be worth it!</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>What&#8217;s it like at a REAL fitness bootcamp?  Is it going to be easy or hard work?  I&#8217;ll let you figure that out.  Put it this way, if you go to it with the right mindset you will come out a winner the other end of the fitness bootcamp with a body you can really be proud of.  Surely thats worth working towards?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Take a look at the video below as it gives an idea about the sort of things you can come to enjoy with any type of <em>fitness bootcamp</em> that is worth it&#8217;s salt.  It&#8217;s funny how all the hard workouts are the ones people remember for all the right reasons isn&#8217;t it?</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H_QkehPe6WU" frameborder="0" width="448" height="276"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Nobody said a fitness bootcamp would be easy, but it is worth it.</span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That should give you a heads up about life inside a fitness bootcamp.  How many times do you think you will end up buying another DVD, trying to get fitter for the next few weeks/months(at best) and then give up, go and binge on bad foods and alcohol for a few months before telling yourself you are not happy once more?</p>
<p>Even if you are already a fitness fanatic, a fitness bootcamp will seriously help to catapult you into the stratosphere, getting your positive mental attitude soaring high (hint, your endorphines being released), helping you shed those extra few pounds, getting extremely lean and well defined and feeling really good about life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>Surely this is what life is for &#8211; living?</strong></em></p>
<div id="attachment_635" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-635" title="fitness bootcamp routines" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/fitness-bootcamp-routines.jpg" alt="fitness bootcamp routines" width="450" height="299" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Life is for living, so get yourself to a fitness bootcamp and begin living life again... why put it off? Just take that first step..</p></div>
<h3>Why suffer any more?  Take the step right now and force yourself to join a top rated fitness bootcamp because you will be incredibly impressed and proud of yourself in the months to come.  The changes are usually long lasting and life altering, so all it takes is a bit of a push from me to get you going and your fitness bootcamp can be set in place to get your life started with a capital S!</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>What&#8217;s life like in a fitness bootcamp?</h1>
<p><strong>Tough or easy?</strong> Well, you can actually choose a good array of different kinds and types of fitness bootcamp courses, from moderate through to more advanced and even Army style fitness bootcamps that are sure to test every ounce of nerve and stamina you can find within yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Beginners welcome!</strong> Even beginners can get a new fresh start on a new life and go for an easier fitness bootcamp that instills the basics of good living, good exercise and what life can be like when you get it right.  As a beginner attending a fitness bootcamp you can expect some demanding challenges and sweat filled workout sessions, as well as a feeling of exhaustion, but at the end of it all you will actually come out of it on a real high that simply can not be taken away by anyone else.</p>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left;">
<dl id="attachment_638" class="wp-caption  alignleft" style="width: 269px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-638" title="army assault course fitness" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/army-assault-course-fitness.jpg" alt="army assault course fitness" width="259" height="194" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Can you handle this kind of fitness bootcamp? Got the stamina and willpower? Think you are tough enough to survive?</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p><strong>As far as the ultimate goes, then it would be hard to take on the challenges of a Royal Marine Commando&#8217;s fitness bootcamp. </strong> You will be pushed to your uppermost limits, stretched and then puished even farther, so you hit new high&#8217;s.</p>
<p>As a beginner this is not necessarily something you may want to jump right into, but a few brave souls do take on this mega fitness bootcamp challenge and come out better for it.  It all depends on what you are willing to sacrifice and how many obstacles you intend to overcome.</p>
<p>An easier, and somewhat less intimidating fitness bootcamp starts at the other end of the scale.  There are fitness bootcamps for men and women of all ages and levels of (in)experience, so really no matter where YOU are NOW, you can get involved and join a fitness bootcamp class to suit you.  Even if you are worried and scared, there really is no need to be, because there willl be plenty of other people in the same boat all attending the same fitness bootcamp as you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can go for a fitness bootcamp that is locked away somewhere for a week or two, such as in the wilderness, or high in the mountains, so that all distractions are removed, or you can find ones which are much closer to home.  At the end of the day though, you need to ask yourself what you really want for your hard earned money.  The last thing anyone wants is to have wasted their money because they &#8220;went home&#8221; and lost track of their goals.</p>
<div id="attachment_641" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-full wp-image-641" title="lean body fitness bootcamp" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lean-body-fitness-bootcamp.jpg" alt="lean body fitness bootcamp" width="250" height="166" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Getting focused intensely for once in your life without outside distractions is one of the vital keys to success.</p></div>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">If you&#8217;ve ever seen the biggest loser on the TV then you already have an idea about what is going to happen when you attend a fitness bootcamp for yourself.  It&#8217;s not going to be a walk in the park, nor is it going to be impossible.  With guts, courage and determination though, you can, and will come out the other side feeling supremely confident about yourself.</span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>This is the time when you make a difference for yourself.  It&#8217;s not going to be cheap, but if you do attend one, then you are likely to drop 8-12 pounds in a week (through massive effort and will an enormous amount of support from the fitness bootcamp members, tutors and coaches).  Everyone will be rallying around YOU to make sure that YOU succeed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you actually sit down and work out how much money you&#8217;ve spent over the years on fitness DVD&#8217;s or gym memberships, then you might be surprised by how it all adds up.  Without the &#8220;constant&#8221; support (aka nagging) from the fitness bootcamp instructors and fellow attendees, your attempt at weight loss or fitness improveent by yourself might all be in vain.</p>
<h2>Women Only Fitness Bootcamp Courses</h2>
<div id="attachment_645" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-full wp-image-645" title="women only fitness bootcamp" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/women-only-fitness-bootcamp.jpg" alt="women only fitness bootcamp" width="250" height="313" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Yep, there are now fitness bootcamp courses for women only who want a fitness bootcamp that suits them, and not some big beefy men who feel like taking over.</p></div>
<p>Yep, you heard me right.  There are a growing number of women only fitness bootcamp classes and courses to attend that cater entirely for the female population, so you don&#8217;t have to feel uneasy among big beefy and burly men all shouting at you.  Now YOu cna get fit at your rate among fellow women and not feel intimidated one bit.  For many women, this kind of fitness bootcamp comes across as a revolution, and inspires them to live their lives in a healthy way for years after.  Would you ever think of attending this kind of <a title="fitness bootcamp" href="http://www.bootycampfitness.com/" target="_blank">fitness bootcamp</a>?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not quite going to be a girly night in when you sit in your pajamas and talk with a glass of wine.  You can certainly sit around and talk, but chances are you willl be wanting an early nights sleep anyway after the day you just went through.  As women united though you can use the encouragement of friends old and new to help you push through to better things.  <em><strong>It IS going to be hard, but surely all the good things in life are worth working hard at?</strong></em></p>
<p>I really hope that right now you are giving some serious thought about a fitness bootcamp.  If you are going off the idea then chances are right now is not the time for you to make a commitment.  A residential stay with a high quality fitness bootcamp can literally change your life.</p>
<p>All over the internet there are many different kinds of fitness bootcamp, and all of them showcase many before and during and after style photo&#8217;s.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>This is certainly encouraging but UNLESS IT IS YOU IN THAT PHOTO&#8217; WHAT IS THE POINT?</strong></span></p>
<p>I think you know it, and I&#8217;m pretty sure you know what is involved, and probaly the only excpections facing you right now would be relating to the:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cost &#8211; it&#8217;s too much and you just can&#8217;t afford a stay at a premium fitness bootcamp.</li>
<li>Family &#8211; you have family you need to take care of and couldn&#8217;t get anythig else organized.</li>
<li>Logistics &#8211; it&#8217;s too far away, you can&#8217;t get there or aren&#8217;t prepared to fly (etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>and many more&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure that you will face the same kinds of issues as many other people who all desperately want to attend a fitness bootcamp.  It&#8217;s hard and frustrating, but if you look at things from a different perspective you might see that when you do come home, you will be more motivated to keep the fitness bug going and less inclined to slip back into old habits.  That&#8217;s the magic of spending time on a decent fitness bootcamp.</p>
<p><strong>At the end of the day it&#8217;s entirely up to you.  If you can&#8217;t afford the price of a fitness bootcamp, try to attend some intensive cardio workout sessions at your local sports hall, and go with a friend or two.  This way you can all motivate one another when times get tough.</strong></p>
<p>The next option is to consider looking at the very BEST DVD sets that come highly recommended &#8220;based upon results&#8221;.  Don&#8217;t just choose one because a celebrity adorns it, choose the one where there are real and tangible customer reviews who all claim their lives have been impacted in a positive way.</p>
<h3>Outlined below are the top few <a title="fitness bootcamp" href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=sr_nr_i_3&amp;keywords=fitness%20bootcamp%20dvd&amp;qid=1314216292&amp;rh=k%3Afitness%20bootcamp%20dvd%2Ci%3Asporting#?_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=achmtheterr-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957" target="_blank">fitness bootcamp</a> workout DVD sets which have been personally tested and endorsed by the many many customers &#8211; and you get to read all of their excited feedback, and use this to make up your own mind.</h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A fitness bootcamp is never going to be as easy or as simple as a walk in the park, but it can most certainly be life altering.  You just have to decide what it is you want to do with it.  By all means start with one of the best <a title="fitness bootcamp" href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=sr_nr_i_3&amp;keywords=fitness%20bootcamp%20dvd&amp;qid=1314216292&amp;rh=k%3Afitness%20bootcamp%20dvd%2Ci%3Asporting#?_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=achmtheterr-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957" target="_blank">fitness bootcamp workout DVD&#8217;s</a> (as you never know you might just like it, but try to get someone to work out with you.  This way if things go south it hasn&#8217;t cost you a fortune.  The next step is to join a local workout class, and if money is not relevant, then sign up to a good quality fitness bootcamp and look forward to a week or two of life when your body changes and turns into the real you.  This article has been written as part of a test/competition.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="hbuttonsL"><ul class="hulistL"><fb:like href="http://shaunbaird.com/internet-marketing-why-we-do-it/" layout="button_count" send="false" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></li><li class="hulineL"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="shaunbaird">Tweet</a></li><li class="hulineL" ><g:plusone size="medium"></g:plusone></li><li class="hulineL"; style="margin-right:15px;"><script type="in/share" data-url="http://shaunbaird.com/internet-marketing-why-we-do-it/" data-counter="right"></script></li></ul></div><div id="fb-root"></div><div style="clear:both;"></div><h2>Internet Marketing &#8211; A Career For Life Perhaps?</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m sure many people do <strong>Internet Marketing</strong> for very similar reasons &#8211; financial security, more relaxed and a better standard of life.  For some of us it can be hard to get motivated every day, and you find that you often become distracted with mundane stuff &#8211; checking emails, reading a WSO, checking over your favourite <a title="Wordpress Goldmine" href="http://wpgoldmine.com/empower/go.php?r=1532&amp;i=l2" target="_blank">internet marketing</a> forum, making a drink etc.  In fact when it comes to learning myu artform (aka internet marketing!) I am absolutely terrible and getting and staying focused.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-530" title="internet marketing" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/vacation-150x150.jpg" alt="internet marketing" width="150" height="150" />Ive been on vacation this week.  Took the wife and kids to the seaside at sunny Ingoldmells on the east coast of the UK.  Ok it wasn&#8217;t sunny, apart from Thursday, but we enjoyed it.</p>
<p>Sitting on the beach, feeling the sand through your fingers and enjoying the waves coming in makes you feel really grateful for life. You tell yourself that you want more of this.</p>
<h3>Internet Marketing &#8211; Getting Motivated</h3>
<p>This is how it&#8217;s been for me, and right now I am more charged than ever. Ive written down a list of things I need to do, that have been accumulating in my mind. Changin to a VPS host, putting the w3 total cache with amazon s3 on all 45+ sites and testing out a theme which is supposed to convert at up to 12% for adsense.  I&#8217;ve got  a number of adsense sites which are 3% and 5% so this is going to be tried on those.  It would be nice to double or triple the adsense earnings, or even for an extra $100 a month &#8211; we shall see!</p>
<p>So if you are finding it hard to get motivated, why not go and touch the things which make life worth living.  It makes you wonder if this is what it takes to get you charged.  Feeling and touching the things in life which touch you.</p>
<p>Why not plan a day to the coast yourself &#8211; it doesnt have to be a hot day. In fact the beach is less cluttered with people when it&#8217;s not a hot day.  Just get up, go and take stock of life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Why do I do internet marketing?</em></span></h4>
<h4>For peace of mind, and the satisfaction of knowing I did it.</h4>
<h4>I was responsible and I got the answers.</h4>
</blockquote>
<p>Life is right now.</p>
<p>You have to work out what life is for you.  If you are reading this then there is every chance you want to learn all about Internet Marketing in order to make your own path in life that is free from the constraints of time restrictions and nagging chains of debt.  I can only urge you to check out my <a title="WordPress Goldmine Review" href="http://shaunbaird.com/wordpress-goldmine-review/">WordPress Goldmine review</a> page &#8211; this is what has changed my life and enabled me to learn about Internet marketing.</p>
<p>Internet Marketing is something we do online to change oour life.  The reason I do internet marketing is in the image below.  Living life and making the most of eveery moment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="hbuttonsL"><ul class="hulistL"><fb:like href="http://shaunbaird.com/when-you-really-see-the-big-picture-in-internet-marketing/" layout="button_count" send="false" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></li><li class="hulineL"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="shaunbaird">Tweet</a></li><li class="hulineL" ><g:plusone size="medium"></g:plusone></li><li class="hulineL"; style="margin-right:15px;"><script type="in/share" data-url="http://shaunbaird.com/when-you-really-see-the-big-picture-in-internet-marketing/" data-counter="right"></script></li></ul></div><div id="fb-root"></div><div style="clear:both;"></div><p>I began doing Internet marketing in October 2009.  Prior to that I was this &#8220;big flash kid&#8221; who thought he knew about making money online.  I&#8217;d made a few thousand here and there, but it was all quick and random, nothing consistent.</p>
<p>These days, I &#8220;get it&#8221;.  The only reason I get it is because I stayed with it.  In the past if I hit a barrier I weould quit and do soemthing else or limp along and try to ignore it.  No these days.  I am in internet marketing for good.  Who knows what will happen down the line, or how things will pan out in 5, 10 years, but for now I am making it happen and intend to finance my life, paying my bills and saving money for the future.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not been easy but thankfully I DO see the future, or at least a path it it.  I can honestly say it&#8217;s never looked as clear as it does now.</p>
<p>The motto here is &#8220;stick with it, no matter what&#8221;.  Do what is right, and what is legitimate.  Forget the get rich quick stuff.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My big picture.</p>
<p>For now my major first gola is £100 per day, passively coming in from my network of websites.  I&#8217;m not there yet but it&#8217;s going that way.  With that I get to do a lot of things.</p>
<p>When I am there, I intend to:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Work 3-4 hours a day at best, more if I choose.<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Go to the Gym 3-4 times a week, staying at home takes its toll when you are inactive.<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Turn off the computer when the kids are at home, instead of &#8220;being distracted&#8221; and not giving them enough time and atttention &#8211; aka being a proper &#8220;dad&#8221;.<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Redecorate the whole house, with an entire makeover, bringing it right up to modern standards.  It&#8217;s nice now, but it&#8217;s nicer to keep on top of things.<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Save a little each day, it soon adds up to deal with the low days.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>And that is it really, for now.  £100 a day replaces wages and enables life to begin.</p>
<p>At that stage I will continue to grow the traffic through content and links.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also been helping out a former boss for a few months who needs help to get caught up (why did I volunteer??).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyway.  If you didn&#8217;t know &#8211; find a phrase with people searching for it each month, check out the competition on page 1, write content using that phrase and wait for it to get indexed.</p>
<p>People always said &#8220;it&#8217;s not hard&#8221;, but it took me time for it to &#8220;sink in&#8221;.  I don&#8217;t care.  I remember when I first staretd this blog someone commented at my measly 30 cents earnings, they scoffed and thought it was pathetic.  Oh well.</p>
<p>If you want your life to improve, you&#8217;ve got to stop the impatience and the changing round.  Stick to one thing (preferably internet marketing) and give it 2 years commitment.  My <a title="Wordpress Goldmine" href="http://shaunbaird.com/wordpress-goldmine-review/">WordPress Goldmine</a> review explains what I do, and is the Only thing I have done since October 2009.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Better go, I&#8217;ve got content to write.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Smart Virtual Assistants Review</h2>
<p>This is my own personal review of the <strong>Smart Virtual Assistants</strong> software for internet marketers.</p>
<p>This is a modular based software package that no internet marketer should be without if they want to get to their goals faster than ever before. <em> </em> <em> </em></p>
<p><em>This is something you have to see to believe</em>.</p>
<p>This is going to blow you away!</p>
<div id="attachment_476" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-476" title="Smart Virtual Assistants" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/smartvirtualassistants-logo-300x80.png" alt="Smart Virtual Assistants logo" width="300" height="80" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Smart Virtual Assistants modular software for internet marketers</p></div>
<p>This software is designed by a full time internet marketer, for internet marketers.  Mark Thompson is the brains behind this and Mark has run his own work-from-home internet marketing business for more than 6 years now from his home in Spain.</p>
<p>Mark is the brains behind the ever so popular (and hugely loved by me), <a title="Wordpress Goldmine" href="http://wpgoldmine.com/empower/go.php?r=1532&amp;i=b0" target="_blank">WordPress Goldmine</a>.  It is only because I am so proud to be a part of it that I am recommending this software.</p>
<p>It is all down to WPGM that I can now say, I earn in the region of $1000 (as of today) a month, completely passively, each and every single month.</p>
<p>That is not a bad thing really.   So, when Mark announced he was going to be releasing this software, my ears and eyes pricked up because after seeing a sneak video of what it does I was hooked.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Smart Virtual Assistants</h2>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>What is it?</em></span></p>
<p>Well.  It is a piece of software that is present on your computer &#8211; and this can be both a PC or a MAC (it uses Adobe AIR technology to make this possible).</p>
<p>It is a modular piece of software.  This means that there are several modules that form what it does.  It&#8217;s a little bit like a box of tricks.  Each trick performs something different.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, we are in a slightly advantageous stage at the moment (April 2011).  Modules are being added roughly every 6 weeks or so until it has enough modules (whenever Mark deems &#8220;enough&#8221; is actually &#8220;enough&#8221; is another thing, but there are 10-15 modules planned anyway).</p>
<p>The point is though that right now it&#8217;s really cheap, and with each new module addition Mark is increasing the price until the ceiling price is achieved.  For the first 50 copies it is supposed to be $27, but you will have to gauge the price based upon the point when you bought it.  Oh, and Yes, it&#8217;s a one time fee!     <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> </em></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>What will it do?</em></span></p>
<p>Mark is currently open to suggestions for any new module requests, and he is adding them to his whiteboard until the software is complete.  However until that time, let&#8217;s delve in and show you what all the fuss is about.</p>
<p>If you want to save a lot of time this is going to be putting a definitive smile on your face in a few moments from now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Module 1: Backlink Check module.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You are seriously going to fall in love with this.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-480" title="Smart Virtual Assistants" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/sva2.png" alt="Smart Virtual Assistants" width="500" height="335" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the image (above), you can add details of your website URL, and the software will go off and retrieve all of your page and post URL&#8217;s and any other URL&#8217;s you may have.  It will also display how many backlinks each particular page has got.  <strong>You can specify a color coding threshold in the settings menu (as well as allowing for individual thresholds for particular pages). </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong> <em>What does that mean?</em></p>
<p>Well, let&#8217;s assume you are happy with the fact that 25 backlinks to each page is good, 10 is poor and 5 is rubbish.  Set this up so that any pages with 25 backlinks (or more) will be colored Green (as shown).  Those with 10 are Amber/Yellow and those with less are in Red.  <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>This means you can INSTANTLY SEE at a glance which pages need more backlink work doing to them.</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>No more having to retrieve data for all your sites, and pages from various bit&#8217;s of paper, spreadsheets and archived files.  It&#8217;s all there, right at your fingertips, saving you hours off of each day of activity.  This makes you a more productive person who can ultimately hit your targets far quicker.</strong></span></h3>
<p>None of us have got a lot of spare time, so any tool that can help must be tried and tested!     <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-485" title="Smart Virtual Assistants Software" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/sva3.png" alt="Smart Virtual Assistants Software" width="500" height="280" /> Now, where do you do your promotional work?  Where do you go and generate backlinks?  Do you write articls, develop vidoes?  Which sites do you use?  How on earth do you manage to track all of this?  Which sites do you last use and when and for what page of your site?  Oh.. and which of your dozens of sites was that upon?  <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>See how confusing it can get very quickly if you have no organization?</strong></p>
<p><strong>You can soon lose the plot and get no work done.</strong> So, this <em>Smart Virtual Assistants review</em> shows that the software can sort all this out, easily.</p>
<p>Look at the image above and you can see various columns to the right of the URL&#8217;s.  These are fully editable and represent the backlink source you have utilized.  For instance, you may have a video on Youtube, or an Article in Ezinearticles, or you may have used the imautomator bookmarking service.  All you do is create one column for each of these and you are good to go.</p>
<p>Imagine that today is Tuesday and you&#8217;ve just done an article for Ezinearticles for one of your pages of your site.  Find the URL (either Amber or Red) and locate the column for Ezinearticles.  Click once in that column and today&#8217;s date will be set into it.  <em> </em></p>
<p><em>Good huh?</em></p>
<p><strong>Now you know what you did and when</strong>.  <strong>Not only that you will quickly build up a picture of which particular backlink methods work more often than others</strong>.</p>
<p>All you will need to do is look at the Green URL&#8217;s and see if they are (for example) predominantly Ezinearticle articles.  Then you know you can work on more of these types of articles for a turbo boosted improvement in your website rankings.  <em>And all of this is module 1!</em></p>
<p><em> </em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Summary of module 1:</strong></span></span></p>
<p>This Smart Virtual Assistants module 1 is dsigjned to help you keep right on top of your backlinking and promotional efforts.  It has been designed to take out all of the time wasting, life sucking energy you start the day with and ensure you get right to the action, right away.</p>
<p>All you do is work on Amber or Red URL&#8217;s.   Remember you can also specify individual thresholds for various pages too.  This is a useful feature if one page of your site is working to rank for a competitive term.  Just adjust the individual threshold and it will remain on Red or Amber until the higher threshold for backlinks has been hit, before it goes to Green.</p>
<p>I hope you are beginning to love this tool as much as I am excited by it!  <a title="Smart Virtual Assistants" href="http://shaunbaird.com/recommends/smartvirtualassistants/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Grab your copy today</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p>It is starting out at just $27 and will rise to an expected $97 or more.  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Module 2: Hyperlink maker.</strong> You are seriously going to fall in love with this additional time saver.   Many times when working, we need to develop a html hyperlink.  This module will quickly generate the extra hyperlink.  See the image below for further clarification:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-488" title="Smart Virtual Assistants module 2" src="http://shaunbairdcom-static-site-stuff.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/sva4-module2.png" alt="Smart Virtual Assistants module 2" width="493" height="365" /></p>
<p>Simply enter the URL you intend to link to, and the &#8220;anchor text&#8221; to be displayed on web pages, and choose if you want the link to be opened in a new window or not.  Then the code will be generated at the bottom once you&#8217;ve clicked on the &#8220;generate code&#8221; button.  This simple function is something which is a great time saver for many people who hate writing anything in html, let alone getting it to work properly the first time round!     <strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Module 3: Not yet released &#8211; but a few tentative details&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>We have been told inside WordPress Goldmine (see my <a title="Wordpress Goldmine Review" href="http://shaunbaird.com/wordpress-goldmine-review/" target="_blank">review of WordPress Goldmine</a>) that module 3 will be an income tracker.</p>
<p>You will be able to essentially be able to retrieve your current earnings at all the places you earn money from.  Avoid having to log into multiple websites time after time just to se if you&#8217;ve earned anything more.  Simply add the log in details to your computer/MAC based software and let it do all the hard work for you, so that you are given more time to do the important things in your business.</p>
<p>Take a peek at this (beta version) pre-release video showing some of these initial features!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
  var playerhost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://svavideos.s3.amazonaws.com/ezs3js/secure/" : "http://svavideos.s3.amazonaws.com/ezs3js/player/"); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + playerhost + "flv/2172DBCB-A323-B9DD-9703824786DD1F93.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p>Hopefully you can see the value in this software.  I am completely excited by it and intend to base most of my business around it.  I believe it is going to save me a lot of time, especially as I have very little of it.  24 hours is just not enough in a day, lol!. <a title="Smart Virtual Assistants" href="http://shaunbaird.com/recommends/smartvirtualassistants/" target="_blank"><strong> Grab your copy today</strong></a>, ideally before any impending price increases.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>

<p>I had this wild desire to hit $1500 this month &#8211; would ahve been nice, but then I essentially got dragged away from the PC for almost the whole month, so this has had an effect.  Plus, last month I got a whopping $400 earnings commission for one person&#8217;s purchase via Amazon, which was a one-off.  Last month was $1100, so really the relistic earnings was around $700.  Let&#8217;s see how things have gone..</p>
<p><strong>Adsense Income: £182.64 ($292.38 USD Equivalent)</strong> &#8211; (February was £160.37 ($256.73 USD Equivalent))</p>
<p><strong>Clickbank earnings: £75.81 ($121.34 USD Equivalent)</strong> &#8211; (February was £58.55 ($93.71 USD Equivalent))</p>
<p><strong>Amazon earnings:  £41.32 ($66.12 USD Equivalent) </strong>- (February was £265.69 ($425.11 USD Equivalent))</p>
<p><strong>WPGM Affiliate Earnings: &#8211; £25.27 ($40.46 USD Equivalent)</strong> &#8211; (February was £12.79 ($20.48 USD Equivalent))</p>
<p><strong>Other Affiliate Earnings: £187.42 ($300 USD Equivalent)</strong> &#8211; February was £174.94 ($280 USD Equivalent))</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Total March earnings £512.46 ($819.75 USD Equivalent)</strong> &#8211; February AVERAGE earnings was (i.e. without the one off $400 commission) £422.34 (or $675.61 USD Equivalent)</p>
<p><em>That&#8217;s a £90.12 INCREASE over the previous month </em>($144.13 USD Equivalent).</p>
<p>How many jobs let you increase your monthly wage each month?  Oh, and how many jobs would say &#8220;<em>Don&#8217;t bother coming in to work this month, and you can have a pay increase too</em>&#8220;&#8230;</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it time you got into internet marketing?</p>
<p><strong>Join me, get focused and create a membership at <a title="Wordpress Goldmine" href="http://wpgoldmine.com/empower/go.php?r=1532&amp;i=b0" target="_blank">WordPress Goldmine</a>.  It costs just under $20 a month &#8211; I&#8217;ll let you figure out if it is worth it or not.</strong></p>
<p>(There is a low cost trial anyway)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Shaun</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A quick 300 word update on my progress for February 2011, how much I earned via various means and what I plan for the future as an internet marketer.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="hbuttonsL"><ul class="hulistL"><fb:like href="http://shaunbaird.com/progress-update-for-february-2011/" layout="button_count" send="false" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></li><li class="hulineL"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="shaunbaird">Tweet</a></li><li class="hulineL" ><g:plusone size="medium"></g:plusone></li><li class="hulineL"; style="margin-right:15px;"><script type="in/share" data-url="http://shaunbaird.com/progress-update-for-february-2011/" data-counter="right"></script></li></ul></div><div id="fb-root"></div><div style="clear:both;"></div><p>Hi again, in January 2011 I managed to hit $745 in overall earnings.  This felt really rather special.  It was suggested to me that perhaps I should aim high for February and see if I could break the magic 4 figure income&#8230;</p>
<p><em>I did&#8230;</em></p>
<p><strong>I actually earned $1123.35 overall and breaking this barrier really is rather special.</strong> Part of this came from a huge $400 commission from amazon when someone ordered 50 e-book readers&#8230; yep&#8230;.!</p>
<p>Seriously, if I can do it, anybody can do it.  The key is never give up, keep asking questions and ACT on the answers&#8230;  respect others and their opinions and thank those who have helped you get to where you are.</p>
<p>I have asked for help from a lot of people and a lot of people have helped me and it&#8217;s paid off.  I&#8217;ve probably pissed off a few people along the way, but the way I see things, is that it doesn&#8217;t always sink in for me in the written form (short attention span) but one on one works extremely well..  the one on one sessions Ive done with folks via PM, via instant messenger and in-person have most definitely been the major triggers.</p>
<p>Onwards and upwards.. Im aiming for $1500 for March, but I am also aware that I may not get a $400 commision like before, so it could well be $700 again.. however on a positive note, I have started doing 2 sets of ezarticlelinks on each of my top 5 sites &#8211; and I am goign to build them up to around 10 a site and re-evaluate.<br />
Ive also got sites stewing in linxboss as well, so hoping to see that rub off in the not to distant future.</p>
<p>Anyway, thats it for this update.  All Ive learned has been from <a title="Wordpress Goldmine" href="http://wpgoldmine.com/empower/go.php?r=1532&amp;i=b0" target="_blank">wordpress goldmine</a> &#8211; there is a link in the sidebar if you&#8217;d like to take a trial and come and say hi to me &#8211; Ive been there since October 2009 now.. weird huh&#8230;  you stick with something instead of jumping from opportunity to opportunity and guess what happens&#8230;</p>
<p>Take care.</p>
<p>Shaun
