Some of you already know me, or have seen me around the web.  For those of you I haven’t met yet, I’ll tell you a little about myself.  I’m known as Brilliant Jeni, and while I’m told I’m rather clever, the name is really just a nickname from my Rutgers days.  I’m originally from OC, California and currently live in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  I also have a home in Denver, and I travel frequently- in fact, one of my blogs covers my travels, but I’ll be sharing my sites with you as examples later.

I’ve been a full time blogger and web publisher since April of 2007, the best career choice I could have ever made.  It has allowed me to work for myself, have a flexible schedule, travel monthly, and make 6 figures many times over.  Best of all, it’s something I really love so I’ve been happy to spend much of my time coaching new and established bloggers.

I don’t consider myself an MMO blogging guru.  In fact, I’m still learning new things every week, experimenting, and modifying my own strategies constantly.  I can, however, say that I know enough to make $60,000 a month- my estimated income for the month of March 2010.  And, I know enough to make that on sites I haven’t touched in months.  I’m definitely a fan of passive income blogging strategies, no matter which ad network for affiliate program I’m working with.  Sorry Tim, but 4 hours a week is just too much for me!  AdSense snapshot from 2009-2010:

While MMO Blogging is definitely my forte, I’m also looking forward to sharing blogging tips on SEO, keyword research strategies, backlinking, blogging software, troubleshooting, networking… this list could go on for a while.  If you have specific topics you’d like covered, just let me know.   If you have questions, now or later, drop them in comments anytime and I’ll respond.  Looking forward to meeting you all and learning a lot-  Happy blogging!

On twitter… @brilliantjeni – send me a knock knock joke or such nonsense so I know to follow you back. 

So what are these changes that are coming up?

Management of this blog and main posting duties are actually being handed over to a good friend of mine, and an awesome blogger. She is a very well qualified to offer great blogging and internet marketing tips and has been a full time globe hopping professional blogger for quite some time.

Her name is Brilliant Jeni and she is awesome. I can’t wait to see what she will do with the blog and don’t worry i will still be hanging around and hopefully doing the odd post here and there.

I passed the blog onto Jeni in October but she has been busy and so have I so we did not get a chance to get things sorted and handed over until now.

I am still regularly posting over at my Frugal Living Blog, Frugal Zeitgeist so I would love you to pop over and say hi.

Anyway, expect to see the odd post and lots of comments here on this blog. Jeni is a friend of mine and a more experienced blogger, the blog will not go down hill like many a blog that is passed on so hang in there.

Jeni will be coming by very soon to post a welcome post.

Bye bye for now,

Forest.

Ps. if you are wondering why I chose that image…. It’s supposed to represent me getting off a moving train , cheesey hey?

I have been considering writing an ebook for a very long time but have been finding excuses, putting it off for other work and just in the long run, not doing it!

In November Ruth from the excellent blog Web Career Girl set herself a challenge to write 50,000 words, and guess what, she did it and with a little time to spare.

Part of that 50k word goal was to outline and lay down the first drafts for 4 ebooks that she will be using for various projects. 4 ebooks in 1 month! That is quite an achievement!

I’m sure like me you would love to complete even just one Ebook in a month so drawing on her experience Ruth has put together an absolutely excellent and completely free report detailing how you can write that ebook that you have been putting off.

Now if you want to get this report right now then just sign up to the mailing list below (This is Ruth’s list, I offered to host a form on this post) or if you need a little extra help before downloading then visit her latest post:
Finalising Your eBook Writing Action Plan – My Template

Anyway I have been making use of Google Wave in the last few weeks and I have to say that I really like it.

As I have been mentioning, I have been working on a lot of projects with other people so have been using Waves in place of email to keep up to date on things and keep organised central copies of job lists and related materials.

Wave keeps one editable copy of your file on their server. So rather than having to mark off items from a list and then resend a new email out to my partners, I can now edit one central file.

Also I am keeping track of some of my own websites on there, writing keyword lists, notes and more. Just to help with motivation I am even sharing these progress reports with some of my close online buddies.

In short, Wave is useful.

So do you want in?

Great, well I have 25 invites to give away so the first 25 people to comment here, asking for an invite, gets a wave invite. Make sure your email is attached to your name so I can mail you the invite.

If you are already on Wave, come and say hi. My Wave email is: forest.parks@googlewave.com.

Also let me know what you think of it.

Anyway this weeks Musically Motivated Monday comes with an important message. One of my readers called Sandy asked me to post it. This version of the song “Waiting for the World to Change” has an accompanying video with deaf people signing the lyrics and interesting snippets showing how discriminated the deaf have been throughout the years….. This is why I love the internet, for many deaf people it’s helped closed the gap slightly as you cannot make a pre-assumption about a person based on their hearing or anything else. Knowing Sandy personally I can tell you that her deafness does not affect her wittiness or intelligence one little bit!

The video is a bit “Early 90’s” but the message is solid.

Let me know how you are this week.

I don’t actually want a gun… Just didn’t really know what to put as the tagline today and it’s a lyric from the song today . Plus I knew it would get you to read it .

I’m going to sound like a corrupted mp3 here (or a broken record if you are Old Skool!) but I have been very busy again the last few weeks and missed last weeks MMM.

There are some good things coming up for this blog which will involve more than just me rattling on about this and that so I am excited to see how you guys like that. I also managed to push my first PLR product and even offered it as a WSO (Warrior Special Offer). You can check out the PLR product here: Your Own Organic Niche Site + Bonuses for $19.75 (Only 20 For Sale) but you can actually get it cheaper for the Warrior forum for a limited time too. The link is here: *FIRST 5 FREE* Hot Organic Niche Limited PLR – Custom Wordpress Theme – 10 Unique Articles & Bonuses.

I also managed to sell about 5 sites and was forced into purchasing a new MacBookPro so all has been quite hetic!

Enough self pimping done! How are you guys doing, i’d love to know.

This weeks song is brought to us by the absolutely awesome Polly Jean Harvey. It’s called Big Exit… I hope you like it.

I’ll keep the sales spiel fairly short but I have finally produced my first piece of PLR and it’s in the hot hot organic niche.

I have been doing well in the organic / green niche so it seemed like the perfect choice and a way to give people their own niche site without the need for them to have to spend lots of cash.

So what have I got?

Ok so I have produced an Organic Niche Blog as Limited PLR at a reasonable price. This product is PLR and will be limited to only 20 sales on this site. 60 more will be sold elsewhere meaning only 80 copies will EVER be sold! After which I will pull down the test site and close the offer.

For your $19.75 You get:

• 1 x Original Custom Wordpress Theme
• 10x Original Articles
• 4x bonus Master Resale Rights Ebooks

Ok, some more info:

Original Custom Wordpress Theme

I have designed this custom wordpress theme specifically for this Limited PLR. With the use if a few free plugins you get a featured content area, automatic thumbnails and I think a great design for a niche blog. No links in the footer or anything, the theme is yours!

You also get the PSD file to make adding your header title no problem. If you have ANY issues then I will help you with this.

The test blog can be seen here: Organic Website Test Site

10x Unique Organic Articles

I have personally written these articles ranging between 3-500 words. They are all 100% unique and as the PLR is limited they will not over saturate Google.

The first paragraph of each site can be seen on the Organic Website Test Site

The article titles are:
Why Should I Buy Organic Food?
What Constitutes Organic?
Save Money On Organic Foods
Organic Honey, The Wonder Stuff
Organic Gardening, The Tools For The Job
Naturally Repel Pests From Your Organic Garden
Home Cleaning The Organic Way
Have You Considered Organic Container Gardening?
Being Organic Is Not Just About Food
A Look At Organic Beer

Only a portion of the 80 people that buy this site will ever make full use of these articles so the Google saturation will stay very low.

4x Master Resale Rights Ebooks

With any new blog it’s always good to have some products to promote. So I am adding 4 MRR ebooks to the sale for you to use as you wish. You can rebrand them as yours, claim authorship, sell as is…. basically do what you like! The products are:

Most people who read this blog have some good blogging knowledge and can do their bit to customize and market blogs and web pages. Some of you are even great copywriters, designers and more.

We have all aquired an excellent skill set from our online endeavors, stuff that many people have absolutely no idea about.

So what are we to do with this knowledge and skill?

The first thing I use my skills for is making me money, working online has become my full time job and I am very grateful for this. I am one of the lucky few. However making money is something I do mostly out of necessity. To be honest if I didn’t need money it’s unlikely that I would be working so hard to make any, that’s just me as I am not after riches or a life of absolute luxury.

One thing that is important as a goal for my life is to feel that I have given something of worth back to this harsh and hard world. Things just are not nice out there, wars, recessions and death of all kinds everywhere. I’m not saying I hate life or anything just that it’s not all pretty. The millions of awesome people out there need to be given props too, they make the good part of this world even more awesome.

Ok, enough of that blabber, i’ll get to the point.

I (we) have skills that are hard to get a hold of. My money making side of things is laid out as well as it can be so if I want to give something back to the world I figured it would be good to offer some of my skills.

Last week I went to a Camel Market here in Egypt with an Egyptian group called SPARE (Society for the Protection of Animal Rights in Egypt). The idea was to go and film and document some of the unneeded abuse that is happening to the poor camels so that it could be made into a bigger public issue.

Animals Rights is by no means top priority for most Egyptians but it’s something I care greatly for. SPARE are also in dire need of increasing their web presence, especially when it comes to appealing to young Egyptians…. So this is where I thought I could come in.

None of the members of SPARE know anything about Social Media or Blogging so I agreed to offer my services to help them build a blog, a Youtube presence and more.

So lucky me, I found a way to use my skills for good, help acheive some personal goals and my Karma.

What Am I Trying To Say?

I am not saying you all have to volunteer free services to a local charity, but if you want to then just do it!

You can use your skills in many ways, just be creative. For example your mum, dad, aunt, dog, cat may have wanted a blog for a while. Find the time and help them set one up, show them the ropes. If a friend is low on money, help them make an adsense blog, possibilities are endless.

All I am saying is take stock of the awesome things you have and then make sure you don’t keep it all to yourself, your Karma will thank you!

Thanks To Ruth (Web Career Girl) who’s post “What Are Your Personal Goals” inspired this post.

So sorry for absence, loads of good things going on. I have been working on some niche sites, client work and a large network that is up for sale on Flippa.

I won’t reveal my niche sites, sorry .

However I did want to mention one of the jobs I recently did for a client, because I think he is awesome and the blog is going to be a smash hit. So if you like beer and a laugh go and visit the Big Beer Blog by Allyn Hane.

As for my network, well two other online publishers and I put a hell of a lot of work into this. It’s called the Zodiac Man Blog Network and consists of 13 sites total. Traffic is rising so the new owner will make some good dough. You can see the Flippa auction here if you are interested.

Also there will be some cool stuff happening with this blog in the coming weeks, so stay tuned…..

I was feeling a little stressed and slightly hum drum this morning but feeling a little better now. Just eating a banana and getting ready for my daily workout…. Us bloggers have to keep fit! It’s easy to slip into bad habits!

This song from last year by the awesome Breeders relaxed me and chilled me out a bit, just need the energy from my workout and will be fired up to get working today. I hope you are well and please let me know what you think of the song.

The Breeders – We’re Gonna Rise

One last thing…. I am thinking of making ‘Musically Motivated Monday’ into it’s own blog, what do you think of that idea and would you come and follow me?

Sorry I have been gone for a few weeks, a big storm of things on my plate, nothing bad though, all good.

Will be back soon.

Thanks and hope you are well.

Forest.
