Adsense Payment

I took my adsense payment this morning. It’s my September earning. The amount is still quite good, more then 800 usd. However it maybe will be the last ‘big’ amount I’ll get, at least for the next several months. There was a big change in the google algoritm in Oct 14th that affected thousands of sites around the world. And most of my adsense sites are affected as well.

I used to get around $20-40/day before that update, and now I’m struggling to get $5/day. What a shame, but that is the life of a business man. We will have to be able to live with changes as well as failures. That’s also the reason why I keep telling people to master the basic skills first. Without it, it will be harder to face this kind of problems.

I will not focus my efforts to improve my adsense earning, at least for the next few months. I invested a good amount of money these 2 weeks on different business plan, maybe around $1K. It will substitute the adsense earning drop, hopefully. At least until I know how to adapt properly with google new algorithm, I will not focus my time on adsense.

Yep, it hurts to see big earning drop lile that, but it is not a really new experience for me. Life and business is about learning and experiencing new things. And indeed, I learnt a lot from this one.

On the other hand, my other revenue streams are still rolling just like before, so my overall income is not really affected badly. And yes, no matter what and how, I’ll be back stronger.

It’s really hard to type on this tiny screen. Sorry for any mistakes, don’t even bother to check it.

Basic Skills You Will Need

I post this as a reference, just in case anyone needs it as a remainder, or if someone new wants to start learning about this make money online business. I know, beside my real ‘learning mates’ there are other people who also read this blog once in a while. That’s okay, and even; I hope this blog can give you any benefits so your time spent here is worth it, I hope.

Steps you need to learn and practice.

1. Create a blog on wordpress.com
The purpose of this step is to help you familiar with wordpress environment. WordPress is an ‘engine’ that is used to develop a website. There are many available CMSes that can be used, however wordpress is the only one I use right now. You can search on Google to know more about woprdpress and all of its advantages (or disadvantages), as I will not talk about it here. What I want to say is, if you want to follow my way (not the best way of course, but it works for me) you will use wordpress to build your website(s) in the future, so make yourself familiar with this little creature.

Another purpose of this step is to help you familiarize yourself with ‘sign up process’. You will likely need to do more signups on various sites in the future. While every site has its own signup procedures, you will be able to grasp the ‘concept’ after signing up on wordpress.com. Each site is different but not that different.

Sleep Problem

I’m still having problem with sleep. I still can only sleep for around 3-4 hours each day. It really annoys me, i want to sleep a lot and for longer time. It really doesn’t feel good to have too little sleep time for a long time. It’s been more then a week I face this sleep problem. And no, no matter what, i’ll never use those damn sleeping pills. I’ll find a way to have a long satisfied sleep. Sport and exercise might help, but I’m not really a sport and exercise guy. Oh well…

Web 2.0 List

List of various free sites and blogs to create “satellite” sites for link building purpose. If you read my link scheme post before, the sites included on the pic below are the sites where we will base that scheme on. I post the pic here so I can find it easier instead of browsing around my hard drive, but at the same time it will help other as well. The list maybe will be out dated with time as many sites change their policy, stop accepting new members, or even close the site completely.

Learn how to create and making post on those sites. The sooner you understand those sites the better it is for you as we will go through that process in the future.

Link Scheme

Just made a linking scheme for SEO purpose. The link scheme uses several free blogs and sites, or some people prefer to call it web 2.0 sites. I posted the scheme here since I don’t want it lost somewhere in my drive. You guys will also learn about it in the future. Maybe I can even hire you to do it for me, who knows? Usually I hire people from India for this kind of work, but if you can replace them I’ll be more then happy to hand it to you.

Anyway, it seems I consume too much caffeine lately. It has been almost a week I can’t get enough sleep. It’s almost 3 AM and I still feel so ‘fresh’. These days I only sleep for about 3-4 hours each day. A really unhealthy lifestyle.

Download and Read This Ebook

I share this ebook for you with the main purpose to help you learn english. Though this ebook is talking about making money online, currently you guys haven’t reach this level yet, but still I choose the book to be shared here, maybe one day you can also learn and implement the techniques discussed on this book.

Reading the book will help you improving your english skills and at the same time, I find good fundamental principles discussed on the book. Look, read, and understand the Step #10, Mindset Programming. Then try to practice as much as you can. The topic discussed on that section will help you to set the right mindset and at the same time help you improving your mentality to the ‘right track’ that will be very important in the future. Really, I wish I read that section when I started.

Here is the download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?w769zdv663f7li2

Maybe I’ll also share other ebooks in the future.

Anyway, I see you guys can keep your consistency in updating your blog. That’s great. It will help you improving your writing skills (writing is just expressing your thoughts in a written language so people who read it can understand what actually you want to say). At the same time it will also help you a lot in improving your english skills. And most importantly, it will improve your mentality, especially in keeping your schedule done and beating your laziness. Procrastinating (in Indonesia it’s ‘kegemaran menunda-nunda) is the most dangerous enemy for online marketers. This practice (updating your blog everyday) will help you avoid this very bad and dangerous habit. So, keep it up! (And yes, I wish there’s someone told me about it when I started, consider yourself lucky to have me on your side! lol)

ISP Problem

When yesterday one of my server was down, that quite affected my earning, today it is my ISP that is down. I have to go to my ‘office’ that is used to be a virtual or remote office do my works, as well as posting this.

Living in a remote village, our internet connection option is very limited, we can only depend on the internet service provided by cellular phone providers. As a result, the quality is not really good though with EVDO connection the speed is quite good but the reability is still under performance compared to a more advanced connection option. I have to rent an office to host my servers since that place has a better broadband access.

 Need to finish few works right now so I’ll stop here for now. Keep working guys!

Server Down

Damn… one of my server was down for 8 hours. And of course it affects my adsense revenue for today since it was down at the high traffics times, started at around 11am USA time.

It is now up again though the peak time has been passed. No problem, shit happens and it’s part of the business though actually 8 hours down is really bad for overall site performances as well as from SEO point of view. Hope it doesn’t really affect my site ranking.
