Progress update for January 12th

It has been roughly a week since I started my venture in Internet Marketing and I have to tell you, Damion (my mentor) is a slave driver…

Okay, maybe not that bad but he is definitely pushing me to be the best that I can. I started on MySpace getting my friends list up to meet new people and such but kind of lost track of the end goal. I will tell you, that place is addicting. I have met several really nice people and it seems like I spend more time talking to people and “pimping my profile” than anything else.

Today was really rough. In between my work schedule, I was able to pull down a few hours to learn some more stuff on the IM side and have started making a plan on how I want to approach this. By Wednesday of next week, I have to decide what my first path will be.

As part of my coaching program, I will be starting off in one specialty (or line) of marketing and then I will move on to others after I have a good grasp on the first. Right now, it looks like my primary path may be either Adsense (Damion’s specialty), Affiliate Marketing, or Product Creation (writing a book). I have pretty concise goals on what I can do on any of these but it seems that the product creation route may be out as that is one of the hardest to master. It is not hard to write a book - it is hard getting it sold. That leaves me with Adsense and Affiliate Marketing.

I am leaning more towards Adsense for two reasons. The first being that it is my mentor’s specialty so I know I can learn a lot from him on this, but the second is because it is easily implemented across multiple platforms. My own theory is that it may be easier to get clicks on ads than trying to sell a product as such in Affiliate Marketing.

I have not fully made up my mind yet, but I think I may be able to give my answer by Monday instead of Wednesday. These are my options - now I have to make a choice.

Until next time…
