Project Update: Team Building, Sales Page 2.0

This is my weekly spotty project update, where I tell you what I’ve been up to this week in my business and share what’s on my mind.

I’ve always said that the real work of a problogger is mostly behind the scenes, and nothing proves that more than what I’ve been up to lately. While this blog has come down to more of a 3-post-per-week schedule, there is no rest.

Blog Income Report, 2010 YTD

It has been awhile since I’ve done any kind of income report on this blog. That is by design. After all, it does seem a little bit vain to post things like that.

However, the truth is that people seem to find it super interesting. At the same time, I guess it serves as a little report card. So, I’ll do one.

Income Breakdown So Far….

10 Motivational Stories of Crushing It [Winners]

I got a lot of motivational entries to my giveaway of 10 copies of Gary Vaynerchuk’s book. So many, in fact, that it took me over 2 hours to read every single one and decide on 10.

It was very difficult coming up with 10 “winners” of the book because I had well over 10 entries that really caught my eye. 22 in fact that stood out to me for various reasons, plus yet more others that were very moving. I had everything from stay-at-home mothers to people trying to rise out of the poverty of Nigeria.

Very touching and humbling and I want to thank everybody. Now, let’s get started….

Let’s Connect On Youtube

I’m not sure if you noticed, but I started doing video again.

I’m doing blogging advice and tips and the plan is to make them packed and to-the-point. Each video I do is sent out across several video sites (using TubeMogul) while I’m also posting it to my Facebook page.

I’m trying something a little different, though. I’m NOT embedding all of my videos on this blog. From time to time, I will (as I’m doing below), however I’m specifically making my videos exclusive to their respective channels. So, for that reason, I am inviting you to subscribe to my Youtube channel and connect with me on Facebook. I’ll also announce my videos on Twitter, obviously. But, if you want to stay tuned to these videos, you’ll need to connect with me over there because I’m not going to embed all my videos here on this blog.

Return From Underground Seminar

I am fresh back from the Underground Seminar 6, hosted by Yanik Silver in Washington DC. As usual, I have some observations from the event that I thought I’d share. One might ask… “David, you’re a blogger. Why are you at an internet marketing event and not at SXSW where all the other bloggers are?”
