Messy Desk Contest Winners!

Well, looks like I am not the only one with a messy desk! We have a winner for the before and after pictures and two winners for the already organized desks…

First off is the winner of the messy desk contest is Ros. I will be shipping a whiteboard to Spain. Yes, Spain!

Before-

After-

One of the winners of the already organized desk is Karson. Karson sent me a bunch of links to stuff that help you to stay organized. You can tell this is a common theme by looking at this picture…

Last but certainly not least is Charlie Hunter. Charlie runs a fitness center in Australia. Her clients love her and she loves her clients. Here is her desk (minus her laptop lol)-

So there you have it, our messy/clean desk winners!

This is not the only contest we will be having either. I have a few ideas brewing…

The Haphazard Test

Someone asked me how I come up with my ideas for niches and such. Well, it isn’t rocket science let me tell you. Funny thing is, my brother and I go about things exactly opposite. He will pour over Market Samurai and find killer keywords to target. His success ratio is insane. I am still a little in the dark on his process, but he gets it done.

Me, I put up autoblogs. Yes, autoblogs. I throw up massive amounts of content and see what kind of results come back. Some are winners and some not so much. Now this is not the ONLY way I test, but it works awesome.

If there is a niche I am curious about, I put up an autoblog, let it simmer for a bit and see what happens. If an autoblog can survive even if it is just for a little bit, I KNOW a white hat site will.

Just like the process in Wicked Simple Cash where we put up a site and let Google tell us what to target, in niches that are fairly easy to enter, no need to do an autoblog to test. A small unique content site will tell us what we need to know.

So what is my point in all of this? Before you scale something, test it first. I have built out 100′s of sites without testing first. Lesson learned on that. Now I still do rush things now, but I at least make sure I have a little bit of data to go off of.

So keep building out your sites. Traffic WILL come. I promise!

Keeping it Wicked Simple

When I started my Internet Marketing career, one of the first things I did was write the word SIMPLE on a small box and placed it on top of my desk. Any time that things seem overwhelming or I am getting nowhere, I always defer back to keeping things simple.

IM is NOT as hard as some would have you believe. Traffic, conversions and the end goal of making money are not as tough as you would think.

By keeping things simple and not overcomplicating them, you will be on your path to your first $1 online. Or your millionth!
