Felt super sore in my triceps and abs after yesterday.

I also follow Emi W and she is a super instructor.
I had similar issues as you have, so you are not alone. (I also had sore wrists)
She is the perfect incentive to actually start doing the training.

I will will in the same place as you in December so hope the 10 or 7 day issue will be gone by then.
Stay strong in your resolve during the Q and emerge victorious in your mission - with a large smile having made it productive too!

Hi everyone, long time no see. I haven't really logged into BHW since I successfully ended my last journey. That was an SEO journey of getting a website to 25,000 page views per month.

Fast forward 4-5 months...and I'm in South East Asia.

As I am doing quarantine for 10 days straight, I figured out that I needed some goals. And I need to be held accountable for these goals. As I really don't want to come out of the hotel knowing that I have spent all my time on Netflix and Football Manager, I am starting this thread.

I don't have any specific goals, but I will record all my progress on the below-mentioned topics during these 10 days:

- Article writing for my websites. I plan to write A LOT during these upcoming days. At least a couple of articles every day.
- Other types of progress in regards to SEO (Link building, etc.)
- Workout (I brought a yoga mat + workout bands)
- Progress on Tinder. After all, a new life is waiting for me once this quarantine is over.

I'm not gonna go into details on which country I am in or where I'm headed next. But I'll promise to update the thread every day.

Best,

I hope the best for your journey. Since you're norwegian (I think), and you're in SEA, so you're expat or lone traveller?
if you happen to be in Vietnam, try our coffee, it's the best

Hi guys, another day in quarantine done.

Work & general: 80 % satisfied

I was able to write, edit and publish ONE - 1 - article. Disappointing?

Not really. It's a super good buyers' guide of about 3000 words that will dominate its niche easily. Worth the time and effort.

Apart from that, I've had three separate calls today with three different friends. Been super good to chat with someone about life in quarantine as it might get a bit depressing.

Tomorrow I'm starting to analyze old money articles in GA and point out the ones that are not performing very well. Then I'm gonna do some additional keyword research on these articles, add between 200 and 1000 words - and see what happens with them.

Training: 75 % satisfied

Still a bit sore after two days of hard workouts, but I had to push through this one.

Started off with this video:


Oh lord! My dinner almost came up when it was only a couple of minutes left. Super hard workout and I simply could not manage the last two minutes. I was just laying dead on the floor.

Continued with:

Nothing. Too tired. And it's already late.

Tinder - 100 %

I matched with THE GIRL OF TOWN. Seriously: if she replies to the message I sent now, I'm gonna be over the moon.

I promised myself to stay away from Tinder, but it's hard when you're alone in a hotel room the whole day.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, she is super great apparently - this was my first introduction to her. There's another girl from Hong Kong that makes similar videos, but I can't remember her name.

Great - welcome! Are you also on the "digital nomad" path?

Hi man! I am more of a digital nomad with quite a large network in Asia. So I know a lot of people in the big cities in SEA.

I was traveling in Vietnam with a friend a couple of years ago. Fantastic people, fantastic country, fantastic beaches (especially Mui Ne).....but I'm not too much of a coffee drinker. Anyway: I loved my stay and you are definitely a bunch of warm people!

Yip - and at my age working on the retirement visa option. Trip #36 (or is it 37) to LOS booked 1 Dec.

Chloe Ting is the one to watch

Morning everyone!

Today is my first covid test since arrival - will be taken just after breakfast. I'm dead tired and didn't sleep more than 3-4 hours. My head might have been messed up by something - or it's the jetlag.

It looks like Scandinavian people are back from Easter as sales are slowly starting to pick up. Yesterdays' sales numbers can be seen in the screenshot below. 2000 NOK equals about 230 USD.

Day 4 - workout-free day & updating articles

Alright, another day in quarantine is getting close to the end.

SEO / Online marketing work - 100 % satifisfied

1) Started the day to analyze the performance of ALL money articles on a website that is performing quite well.

2) Found 8 articles in total that should be updated. Wrote anything I could come up with that would make them better. For instance; adding a Youtube video, write another paragraph about sub-topic XXXX, add some pictures, re-write the title to increase CTR, make some improvements on the formatting, add a couple of comments below the article, etc. You get the point.

3) After that, I was actually able to already finalize the update of two of the articles.

4) In addition to that, I wrote a 2000 word info article.

This was a really nice day!!!!

Workout - 100 % satisfied

I planned not to work out. And I almost succeeded.

As my body was still sore, I did this 17 minutes yoga exercise for sore bodies:


Tinder/dating apps: 100 % satisfied

I'm writing almost constantly with that one girl I mentioned before. She's gonna be my guide in this city and I am not sure I'll spend too much time on these apps anymore. Rather use my time to earn some cash online.

I'll make an income update tomorrow morning, but I hope to at least hit 250 USD today.

Best,

Morning guys, exactly 200 USD in income yesterday. Disappointed.



Anyway: no need to relax. An efficient day ahead.

Hi guys, another day of quarantine done.

SEO/Online marketing work - 10 % happy

I got one single freelance client that I spent the whole day working on. The feeling of working on someone elses' project is just not as good as working with your own projects. But it's so well paid that I have to keep it.

All I was able to do with my own websites was selling two articles (for 500 USD in total, some casino links). As well as publishing one article that was already written.

Not good.

Workout: 70 % happy

I was ambitious today. I knew the video below would be a big ask - and it certainly was. As I'm still sore in the legs, I wanted to do an upper-body workout. When he started with those side planks when it's 3 minutes left - I gave up.


However, I can feel that I'm really tired in my body. Tomorrow will be leg day.

Tinder: 100 % happy

Still going strong. Matched with a new girl that I might meet up with within the near future.

I got 4 business meetings tomorrow so I am quite sure I'm not gonna be very efficient with my websites. However, the weekend is gonna be great - on so many levels.

Best,

Morning!

Had a decent sales day yesterday. 198 USD.



I'm gonna do freelance work today with a lot of meetings set up.

Update - day 6 (?)

Another day of quarantine is almost over.

Online marketing:

Freelance work all day.

Tomorrow is 100 % focused on my own websites. Hope to at least fully update 3 articles, but let's see if I can manage that.

Workout:

I really wanted to crush my legs today. This is a brilliant way to do it:


One of the comments in the comment section is actually very accurate:



Until tomorrow,
best

Morning!

Decent sales yesterday - earned about 225 USD.



Slept super bad so I will sleep a bit again before lunch - and then work hard tonight.

Day 6 (?) in quarantine is soon to be over

I'll be released from "prison" on Tuesday. Last covid test tomorrow - let's hope it's also negative.

Online marketing - nah

Didn't do anything. Had a complete day off.

But I'm inspired by the sales today. As I'm writing this (17:00 Norwegian time), the affiliate commission is currently 370 USD.

Would be amazing if we could hit 500 USD for today. That's almost enough to live a full month in the country that I'm not (with a local lifestyle).

Workout: 100 % satisfied

Instead of doing some random exercises, I did two Youtube videos:

This one hurts your arms

And this one hurts your back:
