Ramblings: Projects and Millionaire in 12 Months?

Whew! I have been busy. This week was very hectic - next week will be more hectic as I get ready to market all my new items. Also I will be coming out with a new product again as well, this new project will definitely be a goldmine to list builders.

Guess what I have a copy of the 12 Month Millionaire. As I have been bombarded with emails about 12 Month Millionaire and its price, I have decided to grab a copy. It is only 37 dollars, when the normal price for such clickbank prices are at 97$ or even 197$. It is all audios with a PDF transcript. It is funny the download page has all prizes for promoting it so much. No wonder it is #1 on Clickbank.

Well I think I might have to write a series on this next week. Each day I will listen to an audio and write about it on my blog. I will not go into full detail but talk about some aspects of the audio, contains 6 audio clips.

I strongly suggests joining my Blog Affiliate program since all next week will be about the 12 Month Millionaire and what I thought of it. Its a good chance for you to earn some extra full potential. You can read more about the blog system here.

Marketing All my Projects

With all the new releases I am doing it is going to take me a while to market each one. DealDotFree.com and Facebook Advances. Since I am partnered with Simon, he will also be helping me with marketing DealDotFree and hopefully get the buzz around, where it just becomes viral.

With marketing an ebook I think that maybe more challenging - but I think I have the first ever Facebook ebook. I think I will start with marketing on Facebook since it is related to Facebook, but it does not attract the money making crowd - just normal facebook users that want more exposure.

Load Time of My Blog

I think my blog’s load time is very poor, I am trying to find ways to optimize it more and have it more readily available. Here is a snapshot of my load time:

This is from Pingdom.com, so right now it takes about 4.5 seconds to load - that is pretty long I think. I want to make sure it satisfies users of all connection speed, even dial up. I think the problem lies with my banner tracking since I am using OpenAds and it does have to dip into the database to retrieve information. That will be another post.

I was talking to one of my friends via the UK and he has provided a great idea to help speed up the process of my blog, with some alterations of course. I hope this works out because 4.5 seconds is a lot of load time! What are your thoughts on the load time?

New Products Coming Out

After the discussions of the 12 month millionaire audio series next week, I will be coming out with new products again. Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket they say. That is true so I am going to take into consideration on this aspect.

1 product tackles the media niche and the other tackles Wordpress list builders. One is a standard manual and the other will be a clickbank product. Again, thinking of the best way to market and get a buzz about these items. I will read and red and read more!

Growth of my Blog: Feedburner Stats

It is amazing how a new template can grab the a lot of new users and readers. I have jump up to 30 new RSS subscribers since the launch of the new theme, thanks Brian.

Does having a new layout protrude your expertise? Not sure - but it does have an influential affect on your readers. I wonder if others that have bought professional designs had an increase in RSS subscribers. Another post with another research!

But on my own mind I do think it does influence readers to join more since - its more of a professionalism appearance and give more respect to the author, blogger. Because I mean it is hard to subscribe to a page that looks horrid even though there is good information. I don’t know, like I asid another research or case study looks like is coming up.

    Hi Ian,

    Not sure if you are aware of this or not but…
    The type of invocation code that you implement to serve your ads via Openads can have a big impact on load tims.
    For example, if you are using the javascript tag for all 6 of your 125×125 ads in the top right hand corner of your blog, this will load more slowly than using the image tag or the iframe tag. Although that is not always the case.

    I hope this isn’t too spammy :)

    I have a number of video screencasts on the basics of Openads at openadsblogger.com. I go through installing Openads through implementing our custom built Wordpress RSS feed/Openads plugin so that blogger using wordpress can sell ads in their feed and have them tracked by Openads

    > OpenAds

    Thanks! but I am using the IMG tag for all 6 - but if you look the IMG tag has a specific code that I think it dips into the database to get the graphic and pings back to load it

    nice, I will definitely look at the videos - since I just started using it

  • OpenadsBlogger said:

    That info was more for anyone not aware of this not neccesarly you ;)

    Yep and your right it will connect to the db to get the ad image data AND it will also do inserts into the DB for tracking impressions that is the killer.
    select statements are far quicker than inserts and in your case it doing 6 inserts just for your sponsors ads :)

    It no BIG deal but it will slow page loading down.
