… or something like that. Well, we are working hard on the mission, hence no fancy updates.

The new story we are working about is actually a very much simplified approach to our overall plan for a sophisticated stock portfoliomanagement and trading solution. In fact, it is so simplified, that anyone will love trying it, even you

The reason, that we finally took such a simplified approach is simple in itself: As we still have to learn so much about certain aspects in running a well-frequented site, we thought that it might not hurt if we start with a simple but attractive idea and give the whole thing a chance to grow evolutionary. So, we have a plan thta is looking like fun for us and hopefully fun for our visitors as well.

We aim for adsense income in the first phase but will then be on the lookout of affiliate offers and such. We will apply viral marketing techniques to do the marketing and incentivizing to keep the customers coming and coming.

Well, I certainly hope that we can put everything we learned about the web during the last month to the test and that we will be successfull.

We will go into internal beta the next week and aim for a full scope launch on the Monday thereafter. Monday, the 22nd January that is.

Maybe we will publish the link here first to get the first organic traffic. Maybe you will even get a welcome present if we do

Yep. 48 hours remain and we are finally free to concentrate fully on what we really need to do. To develop alternate business scenarios

Besides that the days are packed anyway for the moment being, as I am trying to learn as much as possible about AdWords, AdSense and Clickbank. This has led so far to me

- building a non-sense Adsense Site

- registering 5 myspace profiles, getting about 300 friends and posting hidden links to another domain on which I have hosted 3.500 pages of more nonsense (but with AdSense

- building two campaigns in AdWords around the products poker and wedding etiquette which are totally niche… NOT

and besides that reading about 1.000 pages of AdSense and AdWords and internet marketing wisdom in general. Yep, you can actually manage to read 1.000 pages in 96 hours when the writing is done in 24 points fonts

The outcome so far? An incredible… 10 cents. Thats what my AdSense account says, but that is even before we deduct the costs for the AdWords campaign, which is now about $50. Well, to be honest, I have not expected at all to make any money up to this point so I am fine. I would even rahter have expected that we would have to invest quit some more money but I can not see that we need to, as the learnig curve is allright and the rest of costs will consist purely in AdWords cost for the next tests but not for any more content or other stuff that we do not need.

No EBooks, no third party software, no nothing as one thing is absolutely clear: Never do deals with an internet marketer

I don’t know who is actually buying all that crap they offer, but one thing is clear: We want to go the way of the white hatters.

And besides that, I want to go to bed now, as it is almost 2 a.m. and I need to get up early to start into the last 48 hours

Just in case you thought something happened to me, because I was absent for so long, get relaxed: No, nothing happened, except, that the Wii was being shelved in stores on Friday, the 8th of December

I would have been a very bad Friday though, if it wouldn’t have been for H. The good soul has anticipated that I might not be that lucky to get me my Wii in the store i chose so he had tapped a source of his own and bought me a Wii there. So, you can imagine how happy I was after I jknew that I would definitely own one this year and especially this wiikend

Besides that, I did some more work on the AdWords side however it is all about learning for the moment being. Learning and Reading.

Not much more to say now anyways, as I see this weekend as holidays from the routine and that I have to go back to Zelda now, as my girlfriend shouts at me already to continue playing. She is just as crazy as me about new Nintendo gadgets so, see you tomorrow
