Making Money Online

Where have I been

It is so easy to get out of the blogging habit, especially when there are a lot of other things going on.

But I have a plan. The plan is that I will integrate this blog into my main site at www.ireviewguru.com On that site I update the nes section most days with latest products & promotions from the guru's and articles and reviews. If I have this in the same place hopefully I will remember to share my thoughts with you.

What have I been doing?

Recently I have built a new site aimed at helping the small business person in the UK you can see it at www.netbusinesscoach.co.uk I have also been building traffic and writing articles for my guitar site at www.just-jammin.com . By the way if you have related sites that you would like to trade links with for any of my sites then drop me a line.

Success!

Well at least enough to keep me going.....

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I last posted here.

Here's a quick roundup of what I've been doing.

I Review Guru - I have been targetting 1 new product review per week and one news item a day to keep this site steadily growing. I t has 60 pages listed on Google and gets about 200 unique visitors per day.

Adwords - I have a couple of profitable adwords campaigns. Including one that pays $100 and converts about 1 in 50. unfortunately I am having big trouble getting any sought of volume as it is very very niche.

Product Feeds - I have bought Secret Money Generator which builds sites from product feeds. Which means big sites created quickly with every page having a product and an affiliate link. You can read my review at http://www.ireviewguru.com/archives/2005/01/datafeed.html

On a personal level I am still learning to play guitar and although I still couldn't pass for a good player I am getting better and try and practice everyday. We have also just booked a three week holiday to France in the summer. Taking in Paris & EuroDisney as well as beach & wine areas. So I need to earn some money now.

Business Banking in the UK

Well it seems like a slow job getting this new business bank account & I'm not totally sure that the HBOS people know what they are talking about. But it seems like I'm getting a UK account with a US Dollar account attached to it.

The UK banks just don't seem like they are prepared for us UK based affiliates earning all our cash from Google, Clickbank etc.

The HBOS people are not filling me with confidence so I think a bit of parallel running is called for & I will keep my HSBC account open for a while & test HBOS with my next dollar cheque.

They have also given mixed messages with regards to clearence times for USD cheques with quotes of 6 weeks & 4 days. With 3 days quoted for cheques raised by NY based companies.

I'll report back the actual performance when everything is up & running & I've had a chance to test it all.

Business Banking in the UK

I'm about to move my bank account.

Because I am in the UK I experience a lot of cost & delay with US Dollar cheques.
I currently bank with HSBC who charge £10 ($19) to cash a USD cheque upto £500 & £20 for cheques over £500. That's per cheque so with 2 Click Bank cheques each month & an Adsense cheque along with occasional other payments it drives me crazy having to give all this cash away.

So I've been doing my research & it looks like the Halifax have a business account through RBS which charges £5 to bank upto 5 cheques as long as they are deposited at the same time.

So I'm booked in to see the local branch manager on Tuesday.

If you're in the same situation, with charges, you might want to consider the Halifax or if you have a better deal in the UK let me know quick!

Wealth Beyond Reason

Do you want Wealth Beyond Reason?

Sounds nice, doesn't it.

I've come across a great product that I'm really excited about, I have written a review over at www.ireviewguru.com or you can heck the product out here

I Review Guru

My new site that I mentioned recently is called www.ireviewguru.com & it now has content, there are a few things I need to finish off as well as to kep adding the content.

I'm not 100% sure that the mission statement is the best that it can be although the intent is right & I need to have a logo created, I think.

The site has been created with Moveable Type which is free for the first three blogs & it also allows categories and I have 3 seperate feeds all on the home page.

Check it out & let me know what you think

New Article

I have just written a new article entitled #1 Success Secret which you can read at www.themoneyseed.com/articles

I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front & that's because I have been working on a project that has been taking up most of my time over the last 4 or 5 days.

If you read my reviews of the Jason Potash Webinar & RSS Exposed you will know that I had an exciting idea as a result of these two products. The idea from Jason Potash & the how to from RSS Exposed.

That's what I'm working on. I'll tell you all about it when it's ready for launch which is looking like next Monday.

Before then I have a lot of content to write. The site is built but there are no words, yet.

BTW at the end of the article is an opportunity to get free access to Mike Brescia's This is Your Day To Win, which is an excellent book which usually costs $17
