Internet Marketing Blog

Flop Idle is now an internet marketing blog, for a while for experimental reasons I was trying to find out what happens if you do not plan on targeting any keywords in particular, so I just released this blog and began to write, to be honest, I didn’t even know what I was going to write about in particular myself;), was Flop Idle going to be a dairy?, a personal blog?, a hub for all my other projects?, I just didn’t really know, but thought it would be fun to see what happens when you do not target a particular keyword.

You know what happens??, NO TRAFFIC, thats what happens, also the most random keywords to find your site ever known;)…

At least im at number one for “flopidle”;)), but its interesting to see how certain words are ranked in google, even when you don’t even mean them to be.

Internet Marketing Blog

As most of my posts are related to internet marketing, I thought it would be fun to target that term and see how I do, its not going to be easy but im in this for the long haul, so why not try!?, its something to aim for and am ready to do, hence the fact that its 6.45am and im writing a post about it;).

What I do need to do however is earn some money, so far only $15.96, but I think more people would also read this blog if that were $1,500,096, I had to get the 96c from amazon in their somewhere;), but making a bit more than I am would be nice, nice enough to quit the “day job”, or pay for heat;), but whatever comes in, it would be nice.

This internet marketing blog is going to be allot of fun and hard work, but I’ve come this far so why not continue on and see how it goes?, I’ll start posting more on the things I find out works well for me, and hopefully you can incorporate them into your blogs and get similar results too.

I’m also going to start sending my pick sites of the week in my newsletter, I found some great sites last week, so I think it would be a nice idea to give to subscribers of this blog, and also I’m working on a weekly newsletter as well, this will also have tips and newbie advice in it too, so please sign up to this blog and keep updated with me:).

Introduction To The Start Of The Beginning….

Hi all….

I’ve thought long and hard as to what to put in the very first Flop Idle post, but let me start by giving you an overview of me, and why I called this blog Flop Idle….

My name is Elliot, I’m 31 years old and work full-time in retail, I was originally born in London, but now married and living in Connecticut USA which is where I write this post from, its a long story as to why the change of country, but I’m not going to bore you with that, I’d rather bore you with why I decided to start this blog in the first place.

Like many of you who will read this blog I’m stuck!, stuck in the motion of a day-to-day regime that always seems the same, nothing seems to ever change right!??, we’ll thats where I find myself now, but I decided to do something about it, why conform to what we are expected to do, work our jobs, earn what we are told, pay into a pension that when your old you can collect on a be a completely miserable sack of bones!!, WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT!?.

I cant see myself working for the next 34 years like I am today, I would rather take the temperature of a horse with my head!!, get the point!, I just do not want to do it!, so……… there must be something I can put my finger on as to why I’m working full-time, and someone else with the same type of upbringing as me is extremely successful and filthy rich!!, but what is it!?.

It could be education?, but millions of people with less education than me are doing very well for themselves, so It cant be all about education?, could it be luck?, that probably has allot to do with it too, but thats not the only reason I’m sure, so what could it be?, well thats the question I am going to find out, and your hopefully going to follow me on this site as I do.

You see it could all be about hard work?, but how many rich people do you see that are always playing golf, or drinking coffee in Starbucks, or annoying the crap out of you while they drive 25mph in front of you in their bmw’s, and I’m late for work stuck behind them!, so it also cannot be attributed to just hard work either, although if that is what it does take, then I’m ready to do that too.

What Do I Need To Do And How Am I Going To Do It?.

I tried to be a freelance web designer and I sucked!, and thats being nice, I could design the sites, program the databases, pimp out the SEO (search engine optimization), but my business side of it was awful!, you know when I first got business cards printed up it was around Oct time a few years back, which is fine right?, we’ll not when you have 2000 printed, and also think its a good idea to have that same years calender on it!, opps, so after just 3 months of giving out about 50 of them, im now stuck with 1950 business cards!!, brilliant move Elliot.

So after a few years of trying that I’ve decided to try something new, after all, you will probably do well at it, but unless your super talented, the big money just wont be there, but if you enjoy that kind of thing, its great!.

I did have one success out of it, one of my sites got ranked at number one in Google out of about 2 million sites, and is still doing pretty well, it needs work, but I probably get around $100 per month from various earnings related to the site, still not enough to quit the day job just yet!?.

Recently I think I’ve found a way to try and get myself out of my current situation, a couple of weeks ago I found this site 30 Day Challenge , This site changed my outlook on my current situation, and gave me a belief that I could do something with the skills I learned on my earlier web design path, the 30 day challenge is an Internet Marketing super course!, and it does not cost you a penny, its free!, I am by no means affiliated with them, I just took the course myself, and think its a wonderful program to participate in if you would like to learn Internet Marketing, the instructors are AMAZING at what they do, and will teach you over the course of 30 days all the greatest tips you could learn, and all completly free.

I wanted to take my new Internet Marketing skills to the next level, so I signed up to The Immediate Edge , And its using this program that I hope is going to change my situation and life for the better!, I am going to work like a dog at this, and hopefully post my results on this site to give you a view of just how well i’m doing, so you can follow along with me, or even try it yourselves to make your current situation a thing of the past!.

Oh, one last point….. I hope in the least to be able to get a new Apple imac out of it!!, so thats a $3000 benchmark to set myself right away!!;)).

Why Flop Idle.com

I came up with Flop Idle because when I was just a lad, like millions everywhere I wanted to be a rock star!!, and also like millions everywhere, that never happend!, recently watching American Idol(or Pop Idol in England), I saw some people still at my age trying to be the next big thing!, lol very badly, so it put my rock start dream into percpective, instead I was a flop, and not being the most “up and at em” kind of person, I was also a bit lazy, and thats where I got the Idle from, so married together you get FlopIdle.com.

That’s It.

This post is probably way too long for a blog post!, I’ve probably bored you to tears!;), but this is my first blog, so why not get the boring bit out the way, and move on with the good stuff right!!.
