Comments on: Day 8 – October 8th http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/day-8-october-8th/ Sun, 16 Mar 2014 12:52:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: John Thornhill http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/day-8-october-8th/#comment-297 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:55:46 +0000 http://planetsmsblog.com/day-8-october-8th/#comment-297 David – I hardly do anything with my eBay account as everything is 100% automated. I usually login to my account once a day to make sure everything is ok.

I don’t really have a set routine, I basically just work when I feel like it but I do tend to plan a week ahead and always know what I will be doing tomorrow. Plus I try and get my work out of the way before doing anything else.

For anyone not doing this a simple sheet of paper and a pen is all you need.

Write down what needs to be done next week and plan each day. Then do what needs to be done.

I assure you by planning each day you will get a lot more work done.

What a huge difference in impact that backround and new eye-catching banner at the top of RR Rights Blueprint makes on the reader of your page! The new graphics make the old page look downright dull. In fact, it makes the text look better, too!

We had nothing but rain here, so you are lucky to have a sun break over your way during the weekend!

How much time do you spend on the ebay sales that occur daily? Can you tell us if you have a routine in place? When does your day usually end?

Best always, David~

I’m now keeping a blog-like log of what I do each of my “business” days (I’m only ‘semi-retired’ so I need to work to keep some income flowing and build up the ‘full retirement’ account). My wife is ‘completely’ retired but has a part-time job Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, so those are my “business” days, too! (And they’re my _only_ business days.)

What I’ve learned from keeping my blog-log: (1) I get a lot more done than I think I do; (2) I don’t get as much done as I think I should; (3) everything take longer than I think it will or should; (4) there’s a lot of stress that comes with working hard all day and not knowing if my efforts are going to generate 10 cents or ten dollars, or a whole lot more — and when those dollars will show up.

Keep us up to date, your experiences are valuable to all us viewers. Maybe it will even inspire a some of us to post our own “work blogs”!

I’ve bought a few of his books and have to say they are excellent value for your cash.

Today I learnt a valuable lesson that everyone should take heed about.

I spent all weekend putting the final touches to my new book to release it on the warrior forum today.
I tested the sales pages, checked all the links several times,download, etc etc

Launched it as normal and thought here we go,I went off to my tea with happy paypal thoughts but unfortunatly disaster struck.

It was at that moment to my horror that i discovered my server had decided to dump half of all my database files!
No payment processor, no payment pages, no images etc etc
All gone into hyperspace without a trace!

I had to close the wso as i didnt want to let people down much to my annoyance as it had recieved nearly 300 views within 3 hours!

Lesson 1…Keep a back up of everything!
Lesson 2…Never trust your server
Lesson 3…Expect the unexpected!

I hope this never happens to anyone else but please be warned.

Luckily my ebooks are kept on my hard drive but its still going to take me the best part of a week before i can start rolling stuff out.

Regards,
Mick

Good to see another post on your daily duties – it always amazes me what a difference graphics make to a page – your RR Blueprint has made me look again at my sites – I must do better!
Will delve into the rest as the day goes on.
Keep up the good work.
Kind regards
Jo
