Hey everyone!
This is my fast lane progress thread. I have a long long long long long way to go (I worked odds and ends netting $10k 2013).
My original plan to the fast lane was to self publish. I started writing less than a month ago and I have a ton of content written. I was spending a good majority of my day writing and I just burned myself out.
I’ve been studying neuroscience at great length lately. I’ve been searching for a way to boost my motivation. I’ve done a few things to augment my motivational drive. I’ve written a software program, I’ve done affirmations, I’ve actively monitored my thoughts, And I’ve associated positive thought patterns with daily tasks. I’ve been doing all of these things for 3 months now.
Finally the Call To Action Sounded like an alarm in my head. I have been pounding the keys pretty hard for 3 weeks now. I’ve sent a book out to several beta readers. I’ve gotten good reviews and bad. The bad of the reviews deal with grammar and style. A kind professor at the local community college has pointed out the fact that I use to many passive verbs. Another reader says that the dialogue attribution is a bit dramatic. These are all things I can change. However I don’t think self publishing is my fastlane path.
I have a strong drive to write creatively as a life purpose. But I just don’t see it as a means to financial freedom. I admire all the self publishers who can write specifically to the market. I’m just not willing to cater to the masses on that front. I’d be happy if one person read my book and learned something. I have short term goals that just don’t align with going all in on writing yet.
Long Term Goals:
Self publish 20+ books
Open publishing company
Develop brain augmentation technology
Short Term Goal
Move out of this god forsaken Flat (I am at zero folks). When I witness more than one shooting per year, Its time to go!
How to achieve short term goal:
Build ecommerce website
1.) Drive traffic
YouTube Videos
Reviews
Articles
SEO
Social networking
& More
2.) Get sales & repeat customers
Exceptional customer service
Excellent Copywriting
& More
3.) Sell Website
Bizbuysell
Sedo
etc
Selling Points:
Stats, Turn-key Ready, No Inventory, Fully automated, Free Training.
4.) Repeat
I plan on documenting every step of the way. I will keep a detailed journal and record as much screen capture as my hard drive can hold. Then when I am finally successful I will wrap it up and offer it as a “work from home” program.
So far I have registered a decent domain and have done some research into suppliers of a particular niche.
I'll keep you posted
