Adiakritos Journal



since the main driver to sales in my niche is to escape fear... I'm wondering if it would be more effective to use a layout that is more dooms dayish or make one that focuses on good feelings like bright colors and what not.

I may just have to test it over time.
 
Wow! I'm so glad I changed my niche! I actually LOVE what I'm reading about. And its so easy to pick up benefit after benefit for the reader. I'm lovin this. Lets see how this turns up. I really hope I make a return from this venture.
 
hmm, ok thanks..

I realized I was about to promote a scam! LOL

I'm gonna write up a post letting people know that its a scam. Just so they are aware. Hopefully they'll appreciate that.
 
it took me awhile but I finally got around to it. I made my 2nd review post. The product incidentally sucks socialproof wise so it was a lil difficult trying to come up with ways to transfer credibility while keeping the post a review and not copy. I won't post the link unless someone wants to check it out n give me a few pointers. =)
 
I've let my childcounselling blog go on its own for awhile. After paying that random dude $5 to send me traffic the site started doing worst on google.

Then after he stopped sending me traffic it started going much better off of google again. 30 organic visits from doing nothing. 4 from article (only 1 article)....

I'm gonna put this on my projects list, and scale what seems to be working.

If anyone knows how I can get some articles without having to write them myself, that would be fantastic.

I don't mind paying for them if they aren't to expensive. I'll have to look around but anyone with experience who knows who to buy from and what a good deal is would be really helpful.

=)

in other news, I've finished that book Ca$hvertising, and I also watched a short program by John Reese called Money Mindset. I'm done reading for while and I'm just gonna use the summer to apply what I learned into a strategy to build this childcounelling site up.

I was about to launch another site but since this one is already speeding down the run way I figured I'd give it proper attention.

I had put it on website broker.com to sell but I havne't gotten to many inquires that don't seem like scams from nigeria
 
There's a ton of writers here on this site already. Hory shet!
I friggin love how people can just write reviews in the same thread. that's just fantastic

Go to the BST section here and look for a thread by AustinP, he offers articles at $1/100 words. I've picked up a few from him before.

There's also hemux? in the same section. Looked them over but never used them.
 
I'm gonna write out what I'm doing so later on I can come back to this post to remember these tid bits.

1. cash is king, move towards whatever will make the money the fastest
2. focus, the most focus I have the more money I'll make with a singular focus
3. Fail Fast. Get the data as soon as possible to see whats working and scale it.
4. If the cash is coming in I can pay people to do the things I don't like to do. The more enjoyment I have, the more money that will come in.
5. Build my working structures. The more decisions I can plan ahead of time, the faster the work will become and the more money I'll make.

I put a cooking timer next to my computer so that I can turn it and have the 'tick tick tick' put pressure enough pressure on me to focus and not surf facebook or w/e like a jackass.

Next, I picked up a book called "Getting Things Done" by David Allen because John Reese recommended it. In it he talks about the 'natural planning method' that basically looks like this:
1. Define your Purpose and the Principles that you'll work within towards or in that purpose.
2. Envision what your successful outcome will actually look like as clearly as possible
3. Brainstorm every aspect that the brain can come up with into exactly how that vision can be realized
4. Organize the strategy that appears through brain storming into immediate actionable steps.

The next part is an addition to John Reese's program which is "create a time table to estimate how long each step or phase will take.

Right now I'm at 3 and I'm emptying my brain on to paper. There is SO much to cover!
 
I was just reminded that its important not to just jump all the way into a giant project until I know if that market has any commercial value.

The challenge website advised to put adsense on the site and to give it the "go" decision if I have a .5% CTR after about 200 impressions.

It has 0% CTR after 553 impressions.

What do you guys advise?
 
And honestly, I'm thinking about saying "FUCK YOU" to google. I mean, all this focus on trying to cheat google's algorithms seems like a never ending battle. So, instead, I'll let google rank me truly naturally as I focus on other things like forums, article submitting.

When money starting rolling in I'll just invest that into PPC.

I've noticed that with enough credibility in any given forum people tend to click my sig link a lot more often. I've got a blog on enlightenment that gets lots of traffic from a forum I go to often to share advice and help.

I hate this whole link building shit, its the most annoying thing I've ever focused on so I'm just gonna focus on other, more enjoyable and cheaper means of driving traffic to the money site.

I found this advise to seem extremely insightful.

"-for CPA you need people that want to put their info, not force them by locking content with a content blocker
-adsense: you want people not to find what they are looking for in your website content, but in the ads it shows (think a bit)
-product: see their fears and write a GREAT presales letter to help them overcome it and buy your product"
got that on this site from here
 
I think I'm starting to understand this a little better.

The blog sites that are so popular are created and maintained for a couple months because they are easy to do initially. Its a way to quickly test the waters in a certain niche.

If it proves to be of good commercial value, more strategies can be created as the person learned more about that market. Like who's the big dogs, what sells, what people are interested in, what their needs are...etc

At the same time they are learning the market and testing its commercial value with their blog... they can be starting to passively build their market leadership by serving that market in forums or wherever.

-------

it took me forever to see this. I don't understand why they didn't take the time to explain this strategy like this before having noobs like myself go through the entire program not knowing why I'm doing anything.

I did learn, but I learned out of context in the big scheme of things.

Also, I didn't realize that they were using an 'off page network' like a link wheel. Jayzus!

I'm ALSO figuring out how this whole planning process works with the help of the stuff I read, which I mentioned already. There is a difference between planning the flow of a strategy, and then planning implementation of that strategy.

----

Today.... Planning is fucking finished. Its time to let the rubber hit the road. All my action steps are laid out from start to finish with site step up. Then my marketing strategy is laid out in action steps as well. Its a simple one.

I'll just try different things until I find something that works.
