			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well , as I&#8217;ve been doing better, I&#8217;m not so overly upset to post my stats and where I&#8217;m at with my various SEO projects. (Click for the expanded picture)</p>
<p><a href="http://20yearbillionaire.com/wp-content/uploads/chart.jpg" ><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-565" title="chart" src="http://20yearbillionaire.com/wp-content/uploads/chart-300x175.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The chart is based on unique views to my current blog network of 7 websites. Adsense earnings growth generally matched my UV count as well , starting with a median of $3-5/day  ,and ending the month in the $10-$20/day range.<br />
So far , so good , as far as the method of just setting up blogs, trying to SEO them goes. I&#8217;ve also been making money by other ad sources and have done well. One site is also collecting opt-in email addresses, and is up to around 650 or so opt-ins since I started the first of the month as well. The last day of the chart was a anomaly as one keyword I rank well for went crazy in terms of traffic. I haven&#8217;t updated my spreadsheet in the past 2-3 days other than my internal income sheet which I&#8217;m not going to post online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past month or so has been pretty good. I&#8217;ve FINALLY got a scalable, workable project that&#8217;s MAKING MONEY!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to go into lengthy , gory details of it , but I&#8217;ve got a method to develop websites now that will build visitors over time, most importantly it&#8217;s profitable and it helps me invest back into the project.</p>
<p>So , my goal for this year is to end the year with no less than 100 high-profile websites in my portfolio , although my real goal is 250. Right now I&#8217;ve got about 7 sites I consider &#8216;high profile&#8217;. Once I reach my goal I&#8217;ll reveal a little more information , but in the mean time I&#8217;ll be sharing charts &amp; graphs with everyone, since I love them so much.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://20yearbillionaire.com/wp-content/uploads/NetworkPV.jpg"><br />
</a><a href="http://20yearbillionaire.com/wp-content/uploads/NetworkPV.jpg" ><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-556" title="Network total pageviews" src="http://20yearbillionaire.com/wp-content/uploads/NetworkPV.jpg" alt="" width="648" height="494" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">The above chart shows my network wide pageviews starting in December at a total of 594 daily pageviews, and ending yesterday at a total of 3021 pageviews across the network.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The chart includes a total of 5 websites (I&#8217;m developing out the additional 2 websites mentioned above) and the 5th website was added on 12/20/10 starting at 4 pageviews that day , and on 1/3/11 it reached a total of 253 daily PVs (This is an anomaly but it shows me that it has potential.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Total ending pageviews were 1578 ,818 , 443, 253, 182 across the five websites. My #1 website is a music blog , while the lowest is a general interest blog I&#8217;ve had for over a year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s another company trying to collect a $259 fee off of poor real estate agents and people who don&#8217;t know better.</p>
<p>I get a email directly from their people every 3-4 months, so I figured I&#8217;d post a little bit about them. They say they have listings and give out REO listings to agents, so  I did my normal research.</p>
<p>If you go to their site and click on &#8220;maps&#8221; you can see how much volume they do in your area. I checked my state of Ohio , and surprisingly enough they had a DOZEN properties in the entire state! I hate to break it to everyone , but a decent management company will have several dozen in a city , let alone the whole state! So , if you figure it out , with LAMCO you&#8217;ve got about a 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 shot of ever listing properties with them. Take my advice and don&#8217;t pay the $259 fee, you&#8217;d be much better of by buying some signs and posting them on telephone polls that say &#8220;Please give me bank listings!&#8221; At least in that case someone would see your name.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the link to their map to check your area : <a href="http://www.lamconetwork.com/Search-Results.aspx" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.lamconetwork.com');" rel="nofollow" >http://www.lamconetwork.com/Search-Results.aspx</a></p>
<p>*Edit*<br />
I&#8217;ve been getting 1-3 emails a WEEK From lamco , and now one of their telemarkters called me. I argued with him for around 5 minutes which he did not address the major negative reviews I&#8217;ve read and had about them. So , still in my book they&#8217;re still a scam!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I&#8217;ve had a interesting past month with my real estate ventures.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been doing quite a bit of work for the large banks I work for (Chase, HSBC, BOA/Countrywide/FNMA/FreddieMac).</p>
<p>Anyways, one of the things I wanted to do was to pull a report on Central ohio home sales over the past month (Starting on July 1st) through the 30th , then starting again on August the 1st. From the MLS data I pulled , there has been a 26.6% drop month-over-month compared to 2009 in July, and a 15.5% drop so far in August. This leads me to believe that the housing market is pretty soft, even with interest rates being as low as they are (I&#8217;ve seen 3.5% 7-1 arms from our wells fargo affiliate bank).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m personally worried a bit as to what will happen with higher interest rates and a low demand market. Obviously I have a bad feeling about where we&#8217;re headed, but we&#8217;ll have to see where things go.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also debating on whether or not I should do a webshow based on real estate. How many of you would like to see a show on the gory inner workings of real estate investment? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just figured I&#8217;d do a small update, since I haven&#8217;t done one for several months.</p>
<p>The project I&#8217;ve been working this entire year on has finally started to have SOME success, although not as much as I&#8217;d like.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been going into several avenue as of recently concerning other ventures. My adsense income is pretty stable now, not too bad for only have a small handful of sites with adsense installed. I&#8217;ve also been getting into physical product CPS sales which has worked out great! I&#8217;ve managed to snag a few long-term customers that keep re-ordering the same product which is awesome, considering my markup is well over 100%, hopefully I can expand that niche into a full blown e-store. I&#8217;m realizing that there&#8217;s lots of traffic out there for everything, you just have to get creative to do it.</p>
<p>Another interesting note is that I&#8217;ve been told a few times now that my facebook posts on doing gaming ruined the niche&#8230;&#8230;.I guess there are lots of lemmings that are only interested in copy &#038; paste campaigns, maybe I should monetize that?</p>
<p>As for my new greatest project, the one that&#8217;s taken most of the year &#8211; It&#8217;s going better, if we can scale it it should do a few thousand a day in net income which would be great, it&#8217;s just hard waiting. </p>

<p>Quick note I figured that I would post up , since I still get a ton of real estate traffic &#038; searches.</p>
<p>I recently was requested to do a Goldman Sach's BPO order on a REO property (This means the property was very likely in a state of foreclosure, and they requested that I value it).</p>
<p>Anyways, getting ahold of a bank , or asset management group like this is almost impossible to do , so here it goes.</p>
<p>The BPO was issued by Singlesource, you can try to get ahold of a manager there at singlesourceproperty.com</p>
<p>This is the first time I've had a request (knowingly) by Goldman Sachs, so this at least will help someone to find them. </p>
<p>GS has been getting a ton of press recently , some groups are saying that they're the sole cause of the entire mortgage meltdown, and that they're even paying off some politicians to look the other way (in terms of inquiries into GS's business methods.) As time goes on , I see them in the news more and more so, someone even posted a comment on my facebook page a book written about Goldman Sach's CDO methods leading to all the foreclosures and REOs now held by banks. I really don't know what to think anymore, but hopefully if you're dealing with them as a investor, or a mortgage holder yourself, you may be able to use the information on here.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough though, it seems almost as if goldman is still holding back quite a bit of volume, you'd think with all the underperforming assets that they'd do something about it , but it seems like they haven't........yet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just spent the past 30 minutes trying to find something decent for stat tracking of the few dozen websites I  own.</p>
<p>I found <a href="http://blog.webdistortion.com/2009/04/06/5-refreshing-alternatives-to-google-analytics/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/blog.webdistortion.com');" rel="nofollow" >one guy&#8217;s review</a> and decided I&#8217;d try one of the ones he suggested.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already tried PIWIK before, it&#8217;s great, however it&#8217;s self hosted on each site, which in my case means every day logging in to each site , and checking stats. Sure , i could find a tool to do that , but it&#8217;s too much work. Piwik&#8217;s interface is THE BEST of all i&#8217;ve seen.</p>
<p>Getclicky is also great, however if you have more than 1 site, they charge you. I had a deal worked out with them , that allowed me to have up to 100 sites for only $20/mo with a max of 15k PVs a month , as they&#8217;re really concerned about a high number of page views. </p>
<p>Enter woopra &#8211; a analytic tool that met all my criteria and went even farther. Woopra has a desktop tool that allows me to log into a dashboard to view stats (a big plus). It also lets me throw on a ton of sites, with a max of 30k page views per month which is more than fine with me. The interface is good, better than clicky but not as nice as piwik. So far I&#8217;m quite impressed , they charge per site in terms of fees ($5/site on the minimum package) but I guess it&#8217;d be worth it, as it brings you up to 100k page views per month.</p>
<p>Not too shabby at all <img src='http://20yearbillionaire.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Check out <a href="http://woopra.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/woopra.com');" rel="nofollow" >woopra.com</a> for their service.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you really make money from home stuffing envelopes? Find out in this informative article.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the next few weeks, we&#8217;ll be reviewing various &#8220;Make Money At Home&#8221; types of schemes, program and ideas. So, if you&#8217;re the type that has ever wondered if you REALLY can make money at home with these various things, be sure to subscribe to the newsletter below, and consider following us  on twitter.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.20yearbillionaire.com/wp-content/uploads/envelope.jpg"  rel="nofollow" ><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-483" title="envelope" src="http://www.20yearbillionaire.com/wp-content/uploads/envelope-300x202.jpg" alt="envelope" width="300" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>Growing up , I remember reading a article in Popular Science magazine about a &#8220;Job Offer&#8221; ad in the classifieds, offering that anyone for a minimal fee could work from home stuffing envelopes, and make good money doing it.</p>
<p>So, I sent away for the &#8220;Free&#8221; information on stuffing envelopes at home, and received a letter back with &#8220;information on how to start&#8221;. I promptly threw the letter in the trash after reading they wanted $29.95 for information on how to get started. I was pretty upset that the supposedly free information seemed like a scam , and never went back to look at it for many years.</p>
<p>Recently though, I&#8217;ve had many people ask me about whether you can really work from home stuffing envelopes. So , I set out a small journey on finding what the deal with this gimmick was, and whether you really could make money doing it , or if it was utter BS.</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;ve been involved in various programs, systems and methods of making money at home, and home job sourcing , I have plenty of contacts to find out the real deal on stuff like this, so I contacted my network of friends.</p>
<p>What I heard from one person was what I heard from all of them concerning envelope stuffing &#8211; It&#8217;s a scam , don&#8217;t spend your money.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m not one to ever think that something is a outright scam , I decided I would go further into things and see really what was going on.</p>
<p>In short, you pay a person $29.95 to send you a packet of information on how to get &#8220;paid stuffing envelopes&#8221;. This involves you taking out ads in the newspaper, placing more ads on &#8216;get paid to stuff envelopes&#8217;. You then go on and ask people to send you a further $29.95 to get information on how they can do it themselves. This in itself is a pretty straightforward &#8220;pyramid scheme&#8221;. I have also found others who were asking for much less in return , maybe a quarter , or only a dollar.</p>
<p>So , in the end , I can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s a scam , but you&#8217;ve  need to ask yourself whether you&#8217;re one to purposely convince other people that they can work from home by stuffing envelopes and then to give you some of their money as well.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry to disappoint anyone, I know if I could make $20 a hour from home doing something this simple, I&#8217;d be the first to sign up , but it&#8217;s just not that easy.</p>
<p>So , do you want to REALLY learn how you can make money from home, with no investment what soever? Just join my mailing list, and I&#8217;ll show you how to turn 10 minutes into $10 , without spending anything other than your time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well , I guess this was going to be part of the 16 weeks to wealth series that I had planned quite a bit ago , and haven&#8217;t updated hardly at all. </p>
<p>Anyways, I&#8217;d say the 16 week plan I had set has been a 95% absolute failure , and I&#8217;ll go over the reasons why.</p>
<p>Last year was a very wild ride, I went from having nothing ,to plugging along with a daily campaign (bizop) series that brought in upwards of $1500 a day , with several days over $2,000 daily income (with most of it being profit).</p>
<p>Anyways , I started raking in the money mid April , and managed the campaign(s) quite carefully, up until June-July, when we started to get extremely close to having the baby. Alot of &#8216;experts&#8217; started giving me their 2 cents into what I should do to expand the campaigns, and go from $2,000 to $5,000 a day , and I was all ears.</p>
<p>I hired a firm in the Philippines to &#8220;manage&#8221; SEO on my campaigns, so I could work on other projects and try to expand my net. </p>
<p>Then in July, things started to go downhill , my sites all got a malware injection , and were all de-listed from Google, which made me loose about a good 20 days worth of income for the most part, as it took that long to get the sites re-included into Google. Finally in August, google decided they&#8217;d de-index a sheer ton of websites that delt with bizops , mine were included in the  de-list, and I went from that $1,500 or so a day to $200 or so per day.</p>
<p>Also , during the time of the website doing good, I started to funnel money into other, non AM projects in hope of &#8216;diversifying&#8217; so that not all my income would be based on affiliate marketing , or the internet for that matter.</p>
<p>Over the course from Sept-Dec I managed to get almost nothing done it seems, even though the sites were still getting a great deal of traffic from bing + yahoo (to the course of $200-$300 per day). I tried to get a site or two launched, with very little success, as I was relying on my seo &#8220;managers&#8221; to help in the reformation of new pages and seo sites. </p>
<p>I chunked along at a slow pace, as since the baby had come, my hours per day spent had been severely slashed&#8230;&#8230;from 8-10hrs a day (some times 12hrs) down to about 6 hours, as I was helping with the baby in the morning, then getting back at home at 5 to try and help. This all has been extremely tiring, as the baby still cries in her sleep, and wakes my wife and I up (So , needless to say I feel like a zombie all day long).</p>
<p>So , what I&#8217;ve done the past 2-3 days is look at myself and situation ,and try and figure out where I went wrong, to try and convey a cautionary tale.</p>
<p>So , here&#8217;s what I discovered have been my problems.</p>
<p>#1 Being a follower and not a leader. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve realized that almost every good choice I&#8217;ve made has been from making my own decisions about things , and not listening to others. In fact, I&#8217;d say 95% of the times people have offered me &#8220;Help&#8221; or &#8220;Advice&#8221; , it&#8217;s led to TOTAL disaster. I spent $12,000 last year with that stupid SEO &#8220;Firm&#8221; on a suggestion from someone, and what did it get me? A bunch of  crummy links to sites that got de-indexed anyway! I spent $30,000 on a real estate investment I bought because someone asked me to buy it (not because I really really wanted to), but bought it because I ASSUMED my campaigns would continue to truck along at the $1,500 or so a day. I spent approximately $5,000 on software/websites that were absolutely worthless, in most cases it was from poor advice , but this was the lowest of my losses. Finally I lost $30,000 on a failed investment where someone begged me to help them get off the ground. I also spent approx $10,000 in servers &#038; server management, not as much of a loss, but considering I likely could have done fine with a $50/mo VPS instead of my $400/mo server, it wasn&#8217;t money well spent.</p>
<p>I realize that I&#8217;ve given in to pressure from others, rather than using a business mindset ,and working on things like I should.</p>
<p>#2 Reading forums and blogs.</p>
<p>Let me tell you something that you won&#8217;t hear on many blogs or forums&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..They&#8217;re both pretty worthless.</p>
<p>Yes, Blogs CAN have good information , Forums CAN have good information , but 90% of the information is either total crap, or outdated. It&#8217;s far better to work and get stuff done, instead of finding out the latest trends and &#8216;advice&#8217;. The guys who make money WILL NOT give you advice because you&#8217;re a competitor, and they&#8217;re smarter than that, and anyone who is willing to sell you information is trying to make money , no more.</p>
<p>#3 Not working hard enough</p>
<p>As a followup to 2 , i&#8217;ve spent likely 3x more time than I should have in chats and forums, I&#8217;m sure if I cut those both out of my life i&#8217;d do much better&#8230;.and I am doing better since I&#8217;ve cut them out. </p>
<p>Well , there&#8217;s the list of things that I&#8217;ve noted, I&#8217;ve unfortunately landed myself into the same place i was almost exactly 1 year ago at this time. Hardly any cash in hand, and a bunch of &#8216;hopeful&#8217; projects that will bring money in.</p>
