30 Day Secret Experiment – Day 5: Analyzing Metrics
This post is part of a 30 Day Secret Experiment. Be sure to read the previous posts to follow my progress.
It’s funny how easy it is to get distracted. I woke up this morning to find that my refrigerator was no longer working properly. I learned this as I poured clumpy milk onto my morning cereal. Luckily, the freezer still works. I took everything out and scrapped the frost off the back vent hoping that would help, but things only seem moderately cooler now… perhaps I attracted this.
Today, I spent some time looking over my site’s metrics. If you’re running any type of advertising, it’s important to know your stats. They tell you things like how much you’re spending, how many subscribers you’re getting, and how much it’s costing you per subscriber.
30 Day Secret Experiment – Day 4: Search Engine Marketing

Now that the site is up and running, the rest of my month will focus on creating content for the site and finding ways to market it. My ideal goal is to rank well for a number of keywords related to The Secret and the Law of Attraction, but that’s going to take a lot of time and effort. So, to start generating a trickle of traffic to the site, today I focused on pay per click advertising and submitted my site to a variety of directories.
Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising
I’m not looking to spend gobs of money promoting this site – which is easy to do with pay per click advertising, but I did want to get some traffic flowing to the website and start building my mailing list. I set up a campaign on Google Adwords and a couple of the 2nd tier PPC search engines like Findology and SearchFeed.
30 Day Secret Experiment – Day 3: Adding Free Downloads and a Mailing List

I spent most of Day 3 working on integrating my mailing list with my website and finding something to offer people that come to my website free.
If you’ve read anything about internet marketing, you’ve probably read that it’s the mailing list that matters most. You want people to raise their hands, identify themselves and tell you that they’re interested in what you offer. They can do that in all sorts of ways – like making a purchase, leaving a forum post or blog comment, or joining your mailing list.
30 Day Secret Experiment – Day 2: Writing Articles
You’ll never have a successful website without great content, so I spent much of Day 2 writing a bunch of content. I headed over to my local Borders and spent about 6 hours cranking out articles and book reviews.
30 Day Secret Experiment – Day 1: Building the Website
As I mentioned in my last post, on Sunday afternoon I started to plan and build the website. (I’ve been building websites since 1995, so this wasn’t a big challenge for me.)
What goes into planning and building a website?
30 Day Secret Experiment – A Site Purpose of Sorts
I started the construction of this site on Sunday afternoon. The idea had been floating around in my head for the past week or so, and Sunday afternoon, I finally had some time to get it up and running.
That makes today – Day 3 of my 30 Day Secret Experiment.
