My name is Paul and I've had modest to little success in starting and operating an internet business, but I'm committed to changing that. In this podcast I document relaunching a website which has made a small amount of money, and all of the ugly challenges I encounter on this journey.
Join the challenge at: http://tinyurl.com/31postchallenge ! In this episode I discuss how I have been posting on social media everyday by scheduling all of my posts on one day for the rest of the week. It's like going to the gym one day, but getting the benefits of working out 7 days a week. I found the trick to doing this is creating themes and scheduling these themes on a calendar. I know the holidays are going to be busy, so I'm going to challenge myself to preschedule posts by bulking them up work-wise, and make sure there is a post that comes out everyday in December.

In this episode I give a complete breakdown of all my website statistics on items including visitors, page views, email subscribers, sources of traffic, social media gains, etc. I discuss how page views to my course page, and click through on my test ads are refining my revenue strategies. Interestingly I also discover a very counter intuitive social media stat.
The first 17 minutes gives you an update about the official relaunch of my site. Then, at the 17 minute mark, I discuss a 7 item checklist that you should go through before launching your site. These simple "fixes" mean the difference between your site being considered "professional and credible" versus "amateurish and scamish".
I cover the progress on the relaunch of my website focused on education grants and how I am 100% dedicated to creating 50 posts. In the second half of the podcast I discuss opening a real box beneath my bed filled with actual projects from my youth. I then compare it to another box in my office filled with actual career projects. I explain what is cringy and why looking at all of this stuff could help me to hold myself more accountable.
In this episode I give you an update about the progress I have made on relaunching my site. I also dive deep into the epidemic that may have hit you - Start-up Addiction.

In this episode I discuss the challenges with picking a website host, why I like the BeTheme wordpress theme, trying to get my logo from 99 designs after 5 years, using RF123 for images, setting up Aweber, and more. Lot's of activity and lot's of ugly challenges!
