A penguin fucked me.

Regular going out has to wait a little longer...

Pulling chicks is not the missing piece my lifestyle design.

That part is handled (At least as far as from what I dreamed of when I started the journal).

Money however... despite hard efforts and recent successes.. NOT SO GOOD. 

The Crash



null

As much as I want to get back to pulling fresh ass and honing my skillset - my internet business, the foundation of many more dreams to come, is more important right now - and it took a big dent.

All IM's out here know what I'm talking about. Penguin, Google's new algorithm came and the effects have been disastrous for many, but certainly for me and my rankings.

First fall. Part of the game i suppose. Feels like I'm starting back at zero - except I now know a shitload more about IM and the whole technical shit behind it. I'm ten times more experienced now. Already back to working and learning my ass off. Making big strides. Doing nothing else. THANK GOD RSD I got more fuckbuddies and sex than I can even handle. Need my sex and I got it covered, good. 

Let's hope I'm back soon. Or else summit ain't happening this year.

Not gonna hear to much from me anytime soon - again.

Dude this journal is fuckin epic. A great example of sticking to the process

I was actually wondering how you got started making money online and where you continued to learn about it. What resource did you use to find out exactly what step one was?


Ya dude, thanks a lot :)

Well, as you can see I'm probably not the best source for Internet Marketing, but I'd check out

viperchill.com
smartpassiveincome.com
source-wave.com
wickedfire.com

and there's soooo many more.. just don't get suckered into buying any "how to make money online" products... just learn KW research and start building websites, learning by doing. Any roadblock you hit, you google the solution. Two steps forward, one back. Grind on. That's my process at least.

 Aye man I feel for you about that Penguin update. This has literally postponed my move to vegas, seeing as i'm 19 and have no income outside of my websites.

On one hand i'm glad it happend because it finally forced me to figure out ways to diversify my traffic, and income.( one way being taking a series of posts you would have put on your site, turning them into a free or 99 cent kindle book, and linking back to your site.) Depending on the popularity of your niche, a free ebook could be downloaded thousands of times a day, which translates to a shitload of traffic for your site.

Also I just noticed that one of my sites, that was bmr'd and blog blueprinted to hell and back with very targetted anchor text has just come back full force.  

I literally checked it right now as im typing this, so I dont know how long it will last. However I will say that 4 days prior to the update, I had used a fiverr gig to get 700 fb likes(they're fake), this resulted in about 100 authentic fb likes, and about 50 +1's. Prior to this my site had no real social aspect whatsoever. 

Now one of three things happend.

1. Google has already started damage control, like they did with panda and the serps are just fixing themselves~ this one seems unlikely, but still possible.

2. The new social aspect added to my site literally saved me from permanently losing my traffic~ much more likely seeing as google has already bitched that they will do anything to not end up loosing to facebook, so if you can get +1's they love you. 

3. Some mysterious shit that I have no way of knowing~ most likely of the three, but in the intrest of having some form of control over our income, I think you should try adding a highly rated fiverr gig or two focusing on social proof on a site you dont care too much about, and seeing what happens. 

Also like i said earlier, you'd be surprised at how useful kindle is. While I've used it more as a traffic source, I have a friend that went from 0 to 1000 in a few months simply by writing/outsourcing a few kindle books. 

Amazon handles most of the work for you, so theres none of the grind that we deal with trying to rank in google. Theres definitely a different traffic method to it, but its nowhere near as annoying as trying to rank some search engine suffering from adhd and constantly changing.

I plan to spend most of this month making kindle books in different niches and selling them to see how much I can rack up. 

Wish you the best of luck bro!

shit that sucks ballzz.

i just checked my rankings and i got fucked as well. don't care so much though, because chicks are my #1 priority.

long term i want to get into more "legitimate" businesses though (not just niche sites as they are too easy to replicate by other people). i recently read "the millionaire fastlane" which was a real eye-opener for me in terms of passive income businesses and making money in general.

hope you get back to your 50€ a day soon!

Several months no update. That's a first!

Time to get this ship moving again. Here’s what I've been up to.

finishing my exams
ALL exams done. 95% finished with my degree. Freedom awaits and I can't wait..

cherishing my bisexual open relationship girlfriend
yepp, that's right.. although still fucking other fuckbuddies on the side, I'm cherishing hard. the girl that sucked my dick while i was making out with the 2 girls. she's awesome. love her cleverness and humor. she's hot. nympho. bisexual. independent. succesfull. concious. not jealous. not into monogamy. And crazy about me. So far a stress free win win situation.

building three businesses
full workaholic mode. working day in day out and LOVING IT. Never thought it would bite me that hard but it did. Just started building my own SEO firm, pitching my stuff to clients..  meanwhile became partner in two real estate oriented start-ups. Things are looking very good. The way things are going I should make a balling income by 2013.

Let's just hope the near future world economy is not quite as fucked as most of the experts on the internet claim.

I have been going out several times sinceI finished exams. But I have to admit there was nothing exciting to write about here... mostly I felt that I sucked badly and was not really into it. Other nights I almost pulled only to fuck up in the endgame. Went rusty through the motions, no passion, lost the girls at my doorstep twice..  

Sometimes I drank to much. Definitely rusty.

The drinking..

love it and hate it. But now it's final. The drinking HAS to go. I’m more ambitious than ever and all about productivity.

Since rarely going out and hence rarely drinking, my productivy sky-rocketed. The few times I went out and drank heavily the hangover next day completely killed my drive. I hated it.

So. The drinking has to go and this time for realzzz

I know my game, personally, will suffer big time. There are little insecurities that I'll just covered up that I now have to face. Have to learn to enjoy the club sober.

In the long term my game should benefit.

More importantly all other aspects of my life should start to flourish dramatically. Financial success, health, quality time spent etc...

Summit 2012
Flying tomorrow!!!

And what better/worse opportunity to stop drinking is there than summit. Sure, one or two drunken nights to celebrate whith old companions... But for the most part I plan on staying sober. Mabye the 2 drinks a night rule? We'll see how this pans out hahaha

Anyway, gotta pack my suitcase... 

SUMMMMMIIIITTTTT!!! :D

 This is the best journal I've come across. Amazing progress. Really inspiring. I can relate to you so much when you talk about your "shy" days. That's where I'm at right now and seeing you overcome all that is incredible motivating. Keep it up. 
Thank you and good luck with your journey!
