What A Crazy Week!!

It's been almost 6 days since my last post and I've been so busy (and lacking so much sleep!). Thank god it's Friday!

Here are the things I've accomplished this week:

• Wrote some articles (I'm still behind the 3 per day assignment)
  
• Created my tumblr.com blog for my niche
• Signed up in Clickbank and found an affiliate product to promote
  
• Submitted my blog to several social bookmarking sites including stumble, del.icio.us, netscape.com, and digg
• Created a landing page for my other niche to use for a pay per click campaign (This is for the Wealthy Affiliate 8-Week Course)
• Purchased a domain name and web hosting
• Setup Google Analytics and Feedburner for my new websites
  

Checking this morning, I have achieved ranking between #1 and #8 in Google for various phrases. I think this is really exciting because of the fact that it happened so fast. I was under the impression that getting a organic listing in Google would take weeks or even months to do.

I have yet to see my first sale, but generating traffic is so exciting!

The Beginning of a Journey

I just finished the last class in my education of web design through sessions.edu. Although I wanted to get started in the Internet Marketing business as soon as possible, I also wanted to make sure that I finish what I started before continuing on to the next project.

So, this begins my journey through Internet Marketing and most specifically through Affiliate Marketing. Although I have perused many different sources pertaining to Internet Marketing, I have found that Wealthy Affiliate has gotten the most positive reviews consistently among many different sites. Given that I have joined this community, I have started the first week of the 8 week plan, which will outline the path to focus on how I make money with Internet Marketing.

My main vision for this blog is to be able to post my experiences, my goals, my successes and failures until I reach what I believe is financial freedom.
