$1k Blog

Ok, just a few quick noteworthy updates:

1. Steve Celeste has just updated his blog with the next chapter of his life story. If you’ve never read it before I strongly suggest you do so, because he really gives you a nice breakdown of how he succeeded as an Internet marketer from scratch. I have been following his story closely and strongly encourage you to do the same - here’s a link to his site.

2. I have become increasingly frustrated and confused with keyword research. As many of you may know, the Overture tool is no longer functional, since it only returns results from January 2007. I am currently thinking of buying myself a Word Tracker subscription, but with $27 a week and no clear business plan on how to use it, I’m going to wait for a while and see what other free keyword research tools I can find.

3. Warrior Forum got a new look today. One of the most noticeable changes is that there is now a Warriors Offers section in addition to the Warrior Special Offer one. Warrior Forum takes a 20% commission for all product sold through the new section, but there is no initial deposit fee to put your product up for sale. As I understand it, the commission fee payment process is not automatic, which means that you will have to make your payments to WF manually from your PayPal account every month.

4. This weekend, I’m planning to get some serious work done on my info product. The exact subject of the e-book has by now changed several times, reflecting my confusion with keyword research. However, come Friday, I am hoping to finally have some time to sit down and make up my mind on what exactly I want to write about. I will also probably buy one-week Word Tracker subscription then - I will, of course, let you know whether Word Tracker is worth paying for (I know a lot of people who swear that it is the best thing since sliced bread).

Well that’s all the updates from now — I don’t know if I will have the time to update my blog tomorrow, but you can definitely expect to see some news over the weekend as my product development process finally shifts into the next gear.
