Baby and Family

Well in my last post I mentioned that I would have some really busy days ahead and on Aug 22, 2010 at 2:22 p.m., those days started.  The birth of my baby girl Lauren Dallas Hales at 8 lbs and 9 ounces has really changed my life, the way I look at what’s important, and the way I manage my time. I mean, sleepless nights make you savor every moment you do get to sleep.  So that means that I don’t have the time to stay up all night testing new pay per click campaigns.  It’s all worth it though.  I was telling my wife that this is all a temporary time in our lives.  This wont go on forever and we’ll have a sense of normalcy back soon.  However, I can say this is some of the best times of my life right now.   She’s a beauty.

Affiliate Marketing

On the affiliate marketing standpoint things are going well.  I have 2 campaigns right now that are averaging me about $250 bucks a day in pure profit.  I’m not sure how long these campaigns will last but I’m planning on milking them as long as I can.  The campaigns I’m running are on the Yahoo Search Marketing network.  I know in the next few weeks Yahoo and Bing will be undergoing a merger on the search marketing side of things.   This is making me a little nervous as the campaigns I’m running I have no real competition on the Yahoo Search network, however, not so sure about my standings on Bing.   Oh well, time will tell and in the mean time, between feedings and sleep, I’ll be looking or other campaign opportunities to increase my affiliate income.

Weight Loss Goals

Being consistent this year has proved to be a challenge.  I’ll start off with a work out routine and then after a couple of weeks either I’d get bored with it, my work at my job would pick up and i’ll be too tired to continue the workout, or some other dramatic shift would happen in my life that would throw me off center.   I’m still trying to figure this consistency thing out, but I will admit I’m getting a little better each and every time I retry my workout goals.  I’ll continue to keep you all updated on my progress. As of right now, I’m still doing the whole running thing, albeit not as consistent as I’d like, but its something.   What really helped me out was the fact that my wife purchased me a mp3 player so that really helps me out on my runs.

Too be continued…..
