Hey everyone, please forgive me for my absence. My life took on a new form of crazy and it was just about impossible for me to do anything with my blog over the last few weeks. I got a promotion at my “day job” which was a blessing and a curse at the same time. It’s good in that I get to do more of the things I actually enjoy at work… but it’s a curse because it takes up so much more of my time that I don’t get to the things I enjoy for me anymore. Such is life, I guess.

March was an incredible month! I felt invigorated and focused and I got so much done. I made a couple of key decisions in late February in an effort to meet my goals. The first of which is focusing on a marketing strategy that has already proven to be successful in the past – Niche Marketing on Crack. It’s one of the methods that I first started making money with and it’s the method I have the most fun with. Niche marketing is my favorite Internet marketing method because it allows me the opportunity to use all of the Internet marketing skills I’ve learned in niches with a lot less competition.

I’m making this post a little later than I intended, so my apologies for that up front. Not too much has changed since January… my work schedule is still kicking my butt and I still haven’t reached my goal of posting three times per week here. *sigh* It’s a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, but I’m not giving up on that goal just yet.

I was recently informed by Margaret of EyeSpi20.com (one of my Entrecard advertisers) that the blog comments function was malfunctioning! (If you’re reading this, Margaret, thank you again!) Come to find out I had left out a closing HTML tag on a modification I made to my newsletter sign up form. This was making it impossible to comment here and was resulting in a Get Response newsletter sign up error! Undoubtedly, more than just Margaret encountered this unintentional error so please accept my sincere apologies for that whole mess. It’s been fixed and things are functioning properly now.

Last month was crazy! I spent most of it transitioning from my previous “day job” to a new one. There was so much involved with this change and it took up a lot of my time. In addition, I finally got so fed up with my niche websites hosting company that I just couldn’t take it anymore (just an fyi – that does not include this blog’s host). Switching hosts was a big decision, but because of way too much down time (which resulted in an inevitable loss in earnings), I had to put an end to my relationship with h2-oh hosting. So, I moved all fourteen of my niche sites to Hostgator. This was so much more work than I expected… if I never move another website to a new host ever again in life it will be way too soon! But it’s done now and I sincerely hope that Hostgator lives up to all the reviews I’ve read and their stellar reputation.

Because of all of the above, I didn’t have much time to devote to promoting my home businesses or any affiliate programs. I did get a few sign ups for both My Power Mall and Lawn Chair Millionaires, which is really great. I also found my commitment to post on this blog three times a week impossible to keep last month. I was lucky to post once or twice a week, so I’ve just got to get better at sticking to my blogging schedule. All in all, January didn’t make a bad showing in terms of my income. If you remember, part 1 of My Master Plan included a goal of increasing my online earnings to $500 per month by the end of this quarter. Here’s the breakdown of my online income for last month:

A couple of days ago, I gave you the details of part 1 of My Master Plan. It included my 2008 income goals and the home business programs I will focus on this year. Now it’s time I gave you the rest of my plan.

I commit to making this blog my primary focus in 2008!

I’ve had this blog for over a year, but I have fallen short of my blogging potential in so many ways! First and foremost, I wasn’t committed to blogging. I had no posting frequency established and I hadn’t taken any real effort to optimize this blog. I’ve begun changing all of that! Here are some of the things I’ve done recently:
