Greetings Blog Family,
It is another great week here at FreddieTaylor.com and I am fired up as usual. It is today for heaven’s sake. You should be fired up as well. We all have another opportunity to show our enthusiasm for our work, dreams, and life. Let’s make the most of it.
Last Week
This was an interesting week for me as progress was made in the right direction. I am the type of person that is never satisfied, but we made some serious strides last week. Here were my goals from last week with an update on performance:
1) Keyword Research – I got some excellent keyword research completed and found me a favorable niche to develop a website. The purpose of this site is Adsense revenue. My plan was to find some solid keywords that I could develop a site and get to the first page of Google on and collect the Adsense revenues from on auto pilot.
I have 56 keyword phrases that I will breakdown and be creating content for over time. Although in the beginning, I am going to use a new resource that I discovered or had forced upon me that will produce the content for free. I will explain later.
2) Complete Entire Week – You are never going to believe this, but it is the truth. I got kidnapped last week around Wednesday. Can a grown man get kidnapped? Should it be called Man-napped? LOL! I don’t know, but there is a group of Ninjas running around the Blogosphere snatching people up, so be careful when you are making your rounds.
Fortunately, they took me and force fed me information and knowledge about succeeding in the world of Internet Marketing. Good stuff they are offering as well. Maybe you will be lucky enough to taken as well. Nevertheless, it was a good week around here and I consider this to be victory. In fact, this is the place that I learned about the free resource for content. No, I don’t want to drop the source for fear of what the Ninjas will do to me.
3) Add Pictures to Post – I have finally figured this out. You may not see many pictures yet, but trust me…I got it. They will be coming in the future as I am still laying out this website. It was really easy, but I had to change some small things and the layout of the site. It’s all good now.
4) Continue Developing Internet Business Plan – My plan is really coming along. While the Ninjas were holding captive in their Hood, they also gave me some wonderful insight in developing an Internet Business Plan. I am fired up and will continue to develop this as we go a long. Maybe sometime in the future, I will share different aspects of it and help you develop yours as well.
5) Visit 3 New Blogs – Actually, I visited a lot more than 3 new blogs, but that is great. Let me give you the three that I will mention for now…more coming in the future.
JarretCade.net – Jarret’s blog is about blogging, wordpress development, and search engine optimization. You are going to love his attention to detail. Check him out!
TheNicher.com – This blog is about identifying, creating, carving, and profiting from niche blogs. The blogger is the Word Vixen and she does a great job at presenting useful information.
Nota Bene Consulting Blog - After Neal was threatened by the group of Ninjas I was referring to above, he finally released the blog to the world. Neal is a passionate blogger that really knows his stuff and is willing to share with us. You will be happy to bookmark this one….trust me.
Overall, not a bad week, but there is always room for improvement. Now, let’s get down to business and what we are going to accomplish around here this week.
This Week’s Goals
It is another big week and we have a lot to accomplish again. I have been really motivated lately to make this push and make this happen, so we are going to get into a lot this week. That team of Ninjas really put the fire in me like you don’t know. Once you get into their Hood, you realize that you have get your game tight or get out of the way. The Ninjas can feel what I am saying here, I know it!
1) Comment 10 – 15 times per day – This will be done Monday through Friday. It is time to get down to the nitty, gritty of this business and do the things that are going to make me, my business, and this blog successful, while providing you with the meat you need to make it happen as well.
We are getting in to measurable statistics that we can follow. This is part of my Link Building strategy that I am developing in my Internet Business Plan. As it stands, I have three sites that are ready to go and developing 3 additional sites, with some in various states of repair. But for this goal, I have three specific sites in mind that I will comment 5 times per site, giving me my goal of 15 comments a day.
The different subject matter should keep me very interested during the comments. Most of the bloggers I read regularly anyway, so this is really just about continuing a discussion that we have. One of the sites is newer and I don’t really have any established blogs to go to, but I will build them over time.
2) 5 Articles Socially Marked per day – SocialMarker.com is awesome! I don’t know any other way to put it. Thanks to my man Elijah at TheAtHomeCouple.com and his article on how to use Social Marker, I have been hooked every since. You have to get up on this free tool, if you have never seen it before.
One of my sites has about 40 articles that hasn’t been sent to the various social networking websites. This is a major no-no and I have to correct that immediately. One week of solid work will get me caught up, but I know I have to maintain this for each of the articles that I do every week. It is happening!
3) Complete Entire Week at FreddieTaylor.com – LOL! I know that this is the third week in a row that this goal is there, but it is important. I am looking to build a consistent flow in my article/video production.
As I have mentioned before, I have blogs, but don’t really blog regularly. We have writers that provide the content for the blogs. However, here at FreddieTaylor.com, I am the writer and am still getting use to this whole concept of producing content on a regular basis. The goal here is consistency.
4) Continue to Develop Internet Business Plan – Blog Family, I promise that I am making some terrific strides on this business plan. I am learning a lot and as you can tell from goal 1 and 2, I am figuring out what I need to be doing on a day to day basis to take my business to the next level. All in due time, it is going to happen!
5) Launch My New Adsense Site – Finally, this week, I am going to launch my new adsense site. Again, this is not all about the flash, but about the “Clicks” that generate adsense cash. I will not be doing a fancy launch party, but quietly pushing my baby into position to drop some money into my well. It’s all good, I will keep you posted.
Go Get’em!
Well, enough of the jaw jacking….it is time to get to work. We got a busy week planned and time is of the essence. Let’s both get back to the basics in our businesses and make it happen,….today!
Hahaha, you da man! I love it man. You are freakin crazy but always keep me motivated! I love your progress, your fire…and your plans. You’re growin man…watch out for them ninjas dude, they can be deadly!
Don’t get out of line or ninja stars may start flyin.

Normal Joes last blog post..Do You Hate Your Boss?
Man, I am starting to think you have something to do with them ninjas! Just as you said that, a star flew out of nowhere and stuck in the side of my computer.
I had to sit down at the desk and get to work! It’s going to be the best week yet.
You do right, I’ve started setting myself goals like this. I think the key is not to make them too ambitious. Yuo have to believe them before you can achieve them. Take care of the little goals and the big ones will look after themselves.
Daves last blog post..BBQ pulled pork.
@ Dave
Thanks for stopping by and getting involved. Yes, you must take care of the little goals because they are what add up to be the large goals.
As the saying goes, “Inch by inch it’s a cinch, but yard by yard it’s hard!”
Keep setting those goals and dropping by the site. It’s appreciated!
Hey Freddie, thanks for the mention.
Good to hear that you found a nice little niche and some great keywords to go along with it. If you need any help with anything you know where to find me. I’ll do whatever I can to help ya out
Jarrets last blog post..Should You Or Do You Link To Your About Page?

Neals last blog post..PR Update – September 2008
@ Jarret
No problem. Thanks for the information, you site is awesome and I cannot wait to continue building and learning from you. I will hit you up in the Hood. Figure that I need to be pumping these Niche sites out on a regular basis to really make a splash out here in the marketplace. I don’t want all the money, just a enough to buy some sammaches from Normal Joe, you know?
@ Neal from the Hood
It’s all good! Dude, ninjas are everywhere I go. Got to watch yourself seriously. I will continue to plug away knowing success will come to those willing to work!
Yeah, I’ve noticed u don’t use any images – I use a few but not many
Keep setting the goals, it really helps you achieve
Simon from Otooos last blog post..The 5 Keys To A Successful Blog
Yeah Simon, I was having a real issue with these pictures. Now, I know how to put them there, but I still don’t want to over do it.
Besides, Sunday is for analyzing the week before and getting down to business for the upcoming week.
And yes, goal setting is very important. Inch by Inch it’s a cinch, yard by yard is hard!

Thanks for visiting and commenting. Yeah, you should give goal setting a try. It can add some much needed focus to your business and life. I have been doing it for years now and am quite addicted.
Good luck, come back and tell us about your experience.
