Time and Training and Perseverance

A Story of Gradual Achievement: Time and Training and Perseverance Been thinking quite a bit these last few weeks about slow progress in Internet Marketing and how lessons learned on the back of a bicycle might be applied. You see, I have just finished a two week cycling trip from Rockhampton to Gold Cost in Queensland, Australia. Not just any cycling trip but a rather long story about cycling going back some 20 years. Rockhampton to Gold Coast Markeri Street in Mermaid Waters, QLD is one of the cross streets that runs at right angles to the Gold Cost beaches and intersects the north-south roads. For everyone other than the people who live on the street it does not mean...

Managing Distractions

Managing Distractions: Introduction Last week I wrote about journaling for mental health. I told a little of my journey with depression. I also showed how I was going to use Trello to start organising my to-do lists. Maybe I should have talked about managing distractions, because this week has been jammed full of those.

Journaling Tips

Journaling Tips: How to Start Journaling I wrote last week about some journaling ideas. I spent a whole week and I did not start my Internet Marketing journal. Well you might well ask why? Crazy when I already had some great journaling tips to follow. Maybe I needed to start with the basics for starting journaling – some journaling tips I got from my friend. Getting started journaling isn’t something that you need to think about too hard. Yes, you can spend time finding just the right journal book or application. Or you can just start writing – or banging away on the keyboard. Here are some simple guidelines I found Dust Off Your Pen and Paper. Keep it simple...

Journaling Ideas

Journaling Ideas Revisited A friend sent me a link the other day with an offer of some journaling Private Label Rights (PLR) articles.  This got me thinking again about journaling ideas drawn from investing success and applied to my own internet marketing The pitch was interesting – here is some free PLR from my friend with no sales pitch at all. Normally one is not allowed to give away PLR – you can give away the material but not the PLR. Two journaling ideas came to my head when I read the email. 1. My Journaling Success I have had great success writing up my investing journal. As of August 30, 2019, I have written and published 462 investing blogs...
