UPDATE #7: In the battle of offline vs online life, offline came out champion last week
Basically the last 7 days were a wash. Did research for articles but didn't have access to do any updating to the website. I'll need to kick it up a notch this upcoming week to make up for it.
This also...
UPDATE #6: Well that was a fast weekend!
I knew there would be some less-than-stellar hustle weekends but didn't expect it so soon in the journey. Had three "goals" for the weekend but only managed to work on one of them. Guess I have some catching up to do tonight.
Did research on the blog...
UPDATE #5: 11 days in and still going strong!
OOPS AND MORE OOPS
Make sure to keep an eye on your Google Analytics on at least a daily basis as it is a great bug-tracking tool. Once the blog started getting traffic I noticed that there was an almost 100% bounce rate. This was really confusing...
UPDATE #4:
Happy early first week birthday to my blog. I'm posting this on Sunday night instead of Monday since I'll be traveling all day tomorrow.
TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC AND MORE TRAFFIC
Since we opened our doors on 9/1 we have had 32 visits (look out ViralNova! :)). Of that, 44% came via social...
UPDATE #3:
Yay! As you know from my mini-update, the blog launched on time!
Even more amazing is that it took Google less than 24 hours to index the homepage of the blog. Granted the page disappeared the next day, but it came back.
So far there have been two posts published and both got...
ANOTHER QUICK UPDATE: The website went live with its first post yesterday morning and I just checked and the website is already ranked in Google. I haven't promoted it nor submitted it to any directories or search engines. Only Google part of the website is analytics.
Hadn't realized how fast...
UPDATE #2:
I'm 99.9999% sure that I will be launching tomorrow (ON TIME!) which is always a great way to start a journey.
LAYOUT / DESIGN
I spent the majority of the weekend finishing up the HTML / CSS and integrating that into WordPress. After spending the last 5+ years building...
UPDATE #1
Welcome to the first update of my time to "Shut Up and Hustle" journey.
DEVELOPMENT
I spent the first part of this week researching other high performing business blogs. One of the best sources in my mind is Flippa. Granted there are a lot of exaggerated numbers in the sales...
Well hello there!
Welcome to my journey.
Take a look around, just try not to break anything ... because that is what I'm here for ... to break as much as possible.
WHAT'S THIS JOURNEY ALL ABOUT:
Like most of us here at BHW, we have hundreds of ideas popping in and out of our heads on a...
Compiling some database information for a new website I'm launching and currently have 420ish records to input.
Each record would be 8-10 info fields on a specific business.
You would need to visit the website for each business to find out a majority of the information.
99% of this task will...
First off, I can't complain too much for the time invested in the website. It is 99.999% automated.
Here are some stats ...
53% of the traffic from search
24% from social
31% US Traffic
17% Canada
7% UK
7% India
Website is optimized for mobile which counts for almost 44% of the traffic ...
UPDATE!
Yes, I'm back.
Like most entrepreneurs I made a pivot a couple weeks ago and began focusing on building a Twitter and Instagram following.
I've been utilizing both Instagress and ManageFlitter.
Instagress I've been running 8a to 8p each day. Most of the time it runs on normal mode...
DAY 7 UPDATE
Google has finally indexed my website and first post. That post went up yesterday so I'm pretty pleased at the time it took to index. Used King Index late yesterday afternoon and within 12 hours the website was indexed.
Received 6 articles from Fiverr for $5. They were custom but...
DAY 6 UPDATE
Spent yesterday working on my copywriting / headline writing ... how many of you have read Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples?
Taking some principles from that book and going to apply them to my new websites.
Anyways ... officially launched the website today with it's...
