What it Means to Be An Internet Marketer

June 20, 2011 Kecia Internet Marketing One comment

There’s no PhD you can strive for to be in the Internet marketing industry. You have to learn as you go – on your own – soaking up information along the way.  The first thing you need to know is what it means to be an Internet marketer, because it isn’t always clear to everyone.

Let’s start with what Internet marketing is not.  It’s not being a con artist. It’s not being a spam king.  It doesn’t just mean selling on eBay or having your own website and products.

In reality, Internet marketers can pick and choose from a whole host of options available to help them make money.  Your opportunities are virtually endless, and include one or more of the following:

Major Change

June 15, 2011 Kecia Site No comments

I decided to consolidate my domain names — I have way too many! — and get rid of my other internet marketing domain. I have moved my blog back to KeciaHambrick.com where it will *hopefully* stay for good. I will be talking less about my personal goals, what I’m doing, etc, and focusing more on providing quality, helpful content for my readers. There will still be some personal work related stuff in there, but I also want my blog to help others get their start in internet marketing.

Because I started out as a freelance writer, I also want to help current freelancers develop passive income streams so they can stop working for upfront pay. My own goal is to completely replace my freelancing income with my PLR store, my niche sites, and other internet marketing ventures. The switch can be long and difficult, but the rewards are worth it!  I also want to help those that are getting started, whether they want to become a writer, marketer, or both!

If you would like to be updated when I post a new blog, sign up in my sidebar. You will also receive a free report on getting your start in internet marketing. It’s written for those that have never or are just beginning to hear about making money online, but I’m sure others can learn from it as well!

Huge Update

June 9, 2011 Kecia Goals No comments

Okay, so I pretty much failed on using my blog to hold myself accountable for my internet marketing ventures. I don’t really like to come online frequently and blog about what I’ve done, didn’t do, should have done, and will do. However, I am in the mood to blog today, so here goes!

I have been steadily working on building up my PLR store, as well as creating new niche sites. I haven’t been meeting the goal of 5 new packs a month, but it’s getting there. I released a Summer PLR WSO last month, and it didn’t do as well as I had hoped. However, I am still getting sales from the Warrior Forum, which is always nice.

BrightHub, another one of my goals, has totally revamped their writing requirements since the Google Panda update. They are now paying more, but their writers now have to almost double the word count of their articles. They haven’t published opportunities for the writers to create new content since April, so I have very little earnings from there since then. They have also taken down/deleted a ton of articles that they say were hit hard with Google’s update, so there goes much chance of my residual income there. I am not focusing on BrightHub as a goal anymore. I would rather focus on my own sites instead.

I have created two new sites recently, but have been slacking on the backlinking. My first Adsense one is ranking fairly well, and last month I make almost $9. Don’t laugh…I know the earnings are miserable, but since I more than doubled what was in my Adsense account since I’ve had that site up and running, I feel pretty good about what I’ve made so far. I need to work on backlinks and also starting up a couple more Adsense sites. It would be great to get 5-7 big sites making me a decent income from Adsense each month.

January Recap

February 3, 2011 Kecia Goals No comments

January didn’t go exactly as I planned, but I figured I would need to tweak my goals here and there as I moved into 2011. I am still primarily on upfront pay freelance writing, which is the biggest reason for not getting anything completed. Overall, I am satisfied with my accomplishments for the month.

Adsense

My goal was to get 2 A100K Blueprint sites up and running. I only managed to get up completely up. I have the domain registered, and will be working on it in February. There is no income coming in from the first site yet, but I have started getting backlinks and creating lots of content for it.

My Adsense goal for February is to launch the second site I have planned, and begin the keyword/niche research for a third site that will launch in March.

PLR

This is where I really dropped the ball. I didn’t do a thing in regards to my PLR store, and I am really aggravated at myself for that. I still have the keywords that I was going to work on in January, so I will carry them over into this month.

My PLR goal for February is to create 1 report and at least 4 article packs.

BrightHub

As I mentioned in my mid-January update, I completed this goal. I wrote the 5 articles that I wanted to, but didn’t get to building links back to them. I may put that off for now, just so I have more time for PLR.

My BrightHub goal for February is to publish 5 articles…which is still the maximum for my account.

Earnings

The only earnings I can report for this month is the $50 from the 5 BrightHub articles. I hope to have at least some Adsense income coming in this month, as well as some PLR sales.
