Quick Update on where I’m at & where I’m going

First off, a big congratulations to Nate Whitehill for hitting some 500 hundred RSS Subscribers since the start of the year. He’s come a real long way in 7 months & is currently helping me give Earners Blog a bit of a facelift in the near (or not so near depending how busy we are) so watch out for that

His post made me take a quick look at my Feedburner stats (not something I do very often) & much to my suprise this is what my graph looks like:

I really didn’t expect to hit over 1,200 subscribers when I started blogging back in September. So big thanks to everyone that takes the time to read & especially those who also take the time to comment. I know I’ve also got a big backlog of emails to get through (since moving house) so don’t panic.

I’ve also recently just moved jobs, for those of you that asked I used to work at Hitwise in Melbourne as part of the SEO team there, which gave a lot of insights into many things such as Affiliate Marketing, Niches & Keyword Research (If you can afford the packages I definitely recommend it). I had the chance to work with many big corporate clients, but in the end I got very frustrated with the slow pace of SEO Implementation. As you’ve probably guessed, I’m a much more hands on type of guy.

I now work for a much smaller company managing their whole SEM (including Affiliates), the rewards are higher & the position is much more challenging. It’s also in the Adult Space. Another realm I’ve not dabbled too much in.

So from here on in I guess the blog may end up giving more insights into how to manage Affiliates, execute PPC Campaigns on a large scale with Adwords & Panama plus any other tips I’ve found along the way to make your lives easier. I’m currently helping my new employer with a nice 400% ROI & all I can say is, you now have more reason than ever to stay tuned & keep subscribing.

Cheers Guys
