I decided to see if this will work.</li><li>bought hosting and transfered DNS to new host. got them to give me 3 months free even though I signed up without the special.</li><li>added my Adsense code to said site, managed to screw it up, tried to fix it, emailed the seller to help me.. lol now fixed.</li><li>added StatCounter code to new site to track traffic</li><li>wrote/tweaked 4 pages for the new site.. 1 product page and then the About us, Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. They are ready to publish now, though the rest of the site isn't.</li><li>bought the domain <a href="http://www.pawtails.com">PawTails</a> to replace a1-dog-info.com. bought it for 10 years - and look Ma, no dashes!</li><li>bought the domain <a href="http://www.gonetothebridge.com">Gone To The Bridge</a> to replace pet-memorials-info.com, also bought for 10 years. (if you don't get the domain, google "rainbow bridge")</li><li>fixed templates (I LOVE "find and replace" in Front Page!) to reflect new domains and published them. hopefully I'll start seeing some traffic (and money) soon!</li><li>finally wrote out all the pages that need to be written and tasks that need to be accomplished before or right after the new site goes live.</li><li>updated my goals page to reflect the new sites and some new goals.</li><li>added up my income from last month... ok, that was last week, but here it is anyway... $425. </li><li>watched the remake of The Ten Commandments... YUCK! </li><li>blogged my boring life ;)</li></ul><p>I think I may FINALLY be back into the working from home mindset. It bloody took long enough! I will say this though, talking to people like <a href="http://www.goldenpinecone.com/affiliate.php?id=77">Andrea</a> and <a href="http://www.a1-travel-accessories.com/mcdougall">Colin</a> and <a href="http://www.rockford-optical.com">Brad</a> sure does help. Whether it's just to kvetch about you know who or to bounce business ideas off each other, talking to peers is essential. </p><p>As for this month's financials... well... let's just say that I REALLY hope the 3 "new" sites take off VERY quickly otherwise I don't think I'll get an Adsense deposit this month. Pretty much only 1 sale ($18 commission though, no complaints!) across my sites. But, if not this month, next month will be great, I have a feeling :) Of course, don't you know while I was looking through Google for inspiration for the new domain, I found my pet memorials site (with emax's info) on the 2nd page for my main keyword.. argh.. life sometimes! lol</p><p>Anyhooooo... that's all she wrote for tonight folks. Have a good hump day!</p><p>Tara :)</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11121240-114481863657007931?l=dabrat76.blogspot.com'/></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08454698705617475112noreply@blogger.com2
