A Quick Update

So far I'm positive $16.75.

I've posted on Digital Point offering to write travel articles for $0.05 a word, and I got my first sale for a 1,000 word article for $50.  Paypal charged a $2.25 transaction fee. I have sold two fiverr gigs for $8. I re-invested $37 for access to the War Room on Warrior Forum. I am already more than satisfied with my purchase. The amount of great content in the War Room far surpasses my expectations.

I don't want to go into too much detail about these earnings, because they are just small odd-jobs while I earn some start-up capital to invest into and grow my ad design company.

I've decided not to withdraw the funds I earn from IM until I have a consistent daily income coming in. I'll just re-invest what I earn. Once I've finished my E-Book on design I'll set up a squeeze page for it and set up an Aweber account.

My current mini-goal is to complete my E-book by November 1st.

What It's All About

My name is Sharpay, and I have a spending problem. I can't find any money to spend!

Now, I have goals I've set and they're pretty static. If you aim for nothing you're sure to hit it, but I really don't want to hit nothing. Meeting goals is quite easy:

1. Decide what you want.
2. Figure out what you have to do to get there.
3. Do it.

So I've compiled a list of goals I'd like to reach within the course of this challenge.

- Build an E-Mail List
They say the money is in the list, and I believe them. The niches I've chosen are travel - cruising, which is sort of my 9-5, & graphic design. For now I'll be focusing on the graphic design, until I complete my training at Expedia CruiseShipCenters.

- Have Strong Standing In Social Media
I want my foot in the door on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube with active, quality followers.

- Become a Level 2 Seller on Fiverr
To fund my research and projects within the online graphic design industry, I set up a Fiverr account as a human billboard. I've already had my first sale, and the only place I've advertised it is in my forum link on DigitalPoint and Warrior Forums.

- Take action
You and I have both heard it said again and again, but have we done it? I vow to implement everything I learn, and I will let you know exactly how each and every step of the process went.
