I was listening to a podcast (can’t remember the podcast) where the interviewee (can’t remember his name) was talking about how he reads a book a week. He just schedules a specific number of pages per day, does it before noon, and has been doing this for over a year.
My challenge to myself is to accomplish what this man has been doing. My goal is to read a minimum of 52 books over the course of the next 52 weeks. It is obviously do-able.
I am really close to having a working system for the “Getting Things Done” system utilizing Evernot.
Here is a break down of how I have gotten to this point.
1: Read several books looking for the perfect solution (not found)
2: Searched internet for what other people said they liked
3: Researched Getting Things Done (GTD) as it seemed to be the most talked about.
4 (now): I’m finishing up reading the book Getting Things Done and also studying how to utilize the system with Evernote.
I have to be honest with you guys; I’m a procrastinator. It is a mix of my ADD, obsessive compulsive tendencies, and what some call chaos addiction.
In other words, I am terrible at time management.
To get prepared for my goal of writing an article every weekday for this blog I’ve decided I need to work on a time management system that works for me.
This week I read:
Neither of these two books really resonated with me as perfect solutions.
While continuing to search online for the best system for myself, I stumbled upon:
My last post on my Niche Site experience was almost 3 months ago. A lot has happened since then not relating to the Niche Site.
As many of you know, my wife gave birth to our first child and my wife, we ran a successful Kickstarter campaign and printed our first comic book.
In other words, we have been insanely busy.
This is why I hope to master niche sites. The opportunity to work on my art and spend time with my family with out worrying about money would be a dream come true. That is why I am trying to make this work and build a passive income portfolio.
Make sure you know why you want to make passive income through Niche Sites. It makes the long hours and lonely nights more bearable.
A crazy week as usual. It was hard to find the time to put in my 14 hours this week. My wife is due any day, the comic book (Madman of Magic) my wife and I are working on, my laptop died, family is planning to come to see the baby, I signed a new contract for putting on animation workshops for the local schools, and …. Well that is all I remember… I can remember, but I did find 14 hours to work on the Niche Site.
I have figured out that attempting a backlinking strategy for the first time is very time consuming.
This tool makes it a little easier (it is free):

We’re still puttering along with the niche site and the back linking strategy.
To be honest, I will be glad when it is all over. I guess this is why everyone says choose something you love. While I don’t mind doing articles on pregnancy and pregnant woman’s health, it is hard for me to get excited about it.
The only thing keeping me working on this niche site is:
It has been another crazy week here at the Love Family Household. Leah is Coming into her last month of pregnancy and we should have little Everett to take care of some time this month. We are hoping that if we can crack the Online Marketing Business Code we can spend all our time at home or traveling with our child and possibly make some more children if everything goes well.
Even if we can get our niche site to make us a good part time income we would be happy. Leah can continue to work at UPS part time (which provides us with Insurance) and I can continue doing magic shows part time.
So, lets see where we are in this Niche Site Journal.
