I've been working hard between making videos and writing and research for my new product, I've had no time for a breath! Its going to be a doozy!

I have 14 videos done thus far and about half of the documentation done...I plan on continuing to work daily until I am done so those of you who have registered for early notification of "Make Money With Keywords", please be patient...thanks.

"A Day In The Life Of An Internet Marketer"

A good day in the life of an Internet Marketer means production...getting things done.

Here's a look at a typical Saturday at Brooks House, LLC!

Of course, not every Saturday (or any day that I work all day long) is the same in every way but below is generally the way it goes...of course, there's many 5 to 10 minute breaks to help my wife out with Vivian...diaper change, walk thru the house, read a 10 page picture book, talk to her, etc...I love these breaks!

8AM: Work begins, waking up with coffee. First thing I do is check Clickbank to see if any sales came in last night...yeah, I admit it, I check CB sales first. Friday's usually slower so if there's 5 or more sales from the time I went to sleep Friday till Saturday 8AM I'm relatively happy. I look through the sales and see if there's any affiliate sales also.

810: Email is opened and I delete what's not important...usually there's about 500 new emails per day, sometimes more. My email filtering is pretty good so this email sifting only takes 10 minutes. I answer customer inquiries. I answer reciprocal link requests. I answer any relevant email. This can take an hour or 2, depends on the amount of typing that needs to be done.

@ 930AM: I research new products and take a look at what's going on from a Internet Marketers perspective...who's got a new product? Is it viable for me? Is it a boring re-hash of something new? This can take some time, especially if I read other marketer's sales pages and review their site structure...you never know when you'll find a clever idea.

11AM: Boy, time flies! I've been "working" for 3 hours and I haven't touched any new product development...I'm thinking of where I left off with regards to my product but I'm not going to get to it just yet. I begin manually checking my rankings for my keywords to see if any new site has bounced me from a page...I also check to see if my pages have changed ranking simply because of Google or MSN bouncing around or "dancing". I also run SEO Elite software on one competitor's listing to see if I am missing something that will help me stay on page 1 of the listings or get to the coveted #1 spot if I'm not there already! This takes time...sometimes a couple hours.

1PM: Lunch...mmmmm!

130PM: Yeah, once I get rolling I don't stop, time is limited! I know I'll break later for dinner but will come back and check email again or continue working even when my wife asks for me to spend time with the family...I'll mosey back into the office from 8PM to 9PM...then, when wife and baby go to sleep, generally I work a little longer. Anyway, at this time I've opened all pertinent software and documents to begin working on "Make Money With Keywords" product and will work till dinner time around 530PM or so...

There's new video outlines to write.
There's more documentation to add.
There's video editing to do.
There's text editing to do.
There's videos to make.
There's new things to write.
This is a big project, takes quite a bit to put it together but I'm making a huge dent!

530PM: Dinner...mmmmmm

830PM onward till whenever: Intermittent "stop ins" at my home office...getting ready for what I'm going to work on tomorrow...

That's a good Saturday! Got lots done hopefully and my mind is set on what I want to accomplish Sunday.

If every day was like my Saturday's, I'd be done with my product by now...and, potentially the marketing part would be partially done. But, hey, I'm not going to quit my job to do this every day unless I prove to myself that I can clear 25K per month...not there yet.

The point to this is that you have to plan your time well and focus on little goals, daily!

Thanks for reading.
