Where Are You Now .... And Where Do You Want To Be ?

Great topic! I'm not in a great place right now. Making barely enough money offline to pay some bills and hardly any money online. In fact, I haven't gotten a single check from Google after 10 months of having ads on my sites. This despite having pretty respectable traffic (about a thousand uniques daily spread over four sites).

That doesn't deter me, though. I am getting a little better at stuff now, making the occasional sale and even making a couple bucks every day off AdSense. In five years, I want to have enough of an income from all the work I've done to travel the world. I'm not greedy -- $100 a day would be more than enough for the places I'm planning on going.

Hi Dean,

interesting question you ask, this is my first foray into the internet marketing arena and also Warrior Forum and I was wondering how I could introduce myself and my story and it appears that this is as good an opportunity as any.Basically several years ago I designed and developed a range of physical hardware products which i had been selling successfully throughout retail hardware stores in Uk and ireland and other parts of Europe.My circumstances have changed recently and as I no longer have a full time job I am trying to convert my existing projects to web based, where I can sell to end users rather than through distributors and where I can attract JV parners affiliates etc.. who may have target markets it would appeal to. My initiall experience with websites building was not without its challenges and having begun with dreamweaver I recently changed over to wordpress in the hope that I will be able to learn how to use it more easily myself (up to this point I have had some assistance and in fact the site although live is still under construction). So basically I am starting from scratch and my model is to try and set up a number of niche product websites initially selling my own inventions/ products and to establish a blog "inventors Diary " where I can keep interested people informed of my progress and also give them the opportunity to share their ideas and inventions. My goal would be to have five products set up by end of 2009 one of which is alraedy active and others which I am about to conduct surveys on . One of the things I find most daunting is the fact that most of the products developed out there tend to be IM and make money on line products. My products by contrast are physical by nature and I wonder how I can link up with others who are selling non digital products and how best to go about it . Anyway without boring you too much thats it in a nutshell. Its an exciting time for me and I definitely think it can work but i have an awful lot to learn and a limited budget to boot and am keen to establish relationships with like minded people to share advice and experience. ( I don't even know if I am allowed to put a link to my own site on this , whats the protocol ?)
Cheers,
terry

Where am i now? Where do i want to be? Confuse.Thank for reminding me, have to sit down and think what is my objective in life.

Yep, well there is the expression, if you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you get there?
