Operation Treasure Monthly Report – February 2010

Topic: Operation Treasure

Discuss: 1 Comment

It’s that time of the month again. When I break down what I’m doing to go from poor to wealthy and build an income online to free me from the prison of poverty and location-fixness I’m currently living in.

This month’s post is going to be short and sweet because I was on a semi-vacation in Las Vegas visiting my sweetheart for nearly the entire month. Not a whole lot got done business wise other than brainstorming and clarifying my vision further.

I did get most of a new design done for this site after getting feedback that the current design is, well, ugly. Later this week you’ll be able to see it. The design itself will constantly evolve as I learn how to design it better and have more resources to play with.

Blog Stats

This blog isn’t a business as of yet and has no way of making money any time soon, but it does serve as a launching spot for when I do launch my online business. For that reason, I’ll be sharing the stats each month on how this blog grows.

In February, this blog saw 514 unique visitors, for a total of 1785 visits and 7355 pageviews. Not a ton of traffic, but considering I only promoted it by posting a link to new posts on my Facebook page and commenting on a couple of other blogs, I’m happy with it’s current growth.

Once I get the new design up and have the website organized, I’ll begin promoting it from multiple angles and posting more “how to” informational posts, rather than the personal posts I’m now writing.

Income

The only income I did make in February was from selling a Home Study Course for the ACE personal training certification I got a while back. I sold the system for $300 on eBay and the timing couldn’t have been better for me because exactly a week later ACE came out with a newly created program making the older one obsolete and a lot less valuable. Not so great for the person who bought the system. Hopefully, they’re still able to use it.

I’m using this income to pay off the rest of the money I borrowed from my parents to buy the plane ticket to Vegas.

The Coming Month

In March, my only goals are to get this website fully updated, with all the pages current, and write all the foundational content this site needs. Once that’s done, I’ll begin writing informational articles and promoting them through social sites, other blogs, guest posts, etc.

Other than selling more things I don’t need on eBay to speed along my minimizing materializations goal, I project no other income coming in, nor any until around June, when I finally launch my online business with its first products.

It’s coming along slow, which is normal, and should start growing, exponentially, soon. I’m looking forward to the freedom it brings.
