Ground Zero

Today was not the best day of the year for me...

This is how my day went.

9.00am - wake up and check the balance. £19,000 overdrawn (maxed to limit)

10.00am - Check the post and find a £20,000 back vat bill ontop of all the other tax already outstanding.

11.00am - add all the bills together and realise I'm £60,000 in the red.

It was some time after this that I came to the realisation that I will have to lay off all of my employees and start liquidation procedures.

Bottom Line: I have no income and will have around £16,000 personal debt after I wrap up company.

But hey! That's life. This isn't a blog about me feeling miserable for myself, this is a blog to motivate me and track my progress of getting back on track.

I have several goals for the next few months and year. Which are:

• Make sure I wrap up company legally
• Start making enough income to pay my stupidly high mortgage and bills
• Create a passive profit that covers all of my overheads
• Sell my ass off to pay off the personal debt
• Come up with a new business idea and set it up.

I know a lot of people are in the same boat as me and also turning to IM as a solution. I have turned over millions of pounds in sales over the last few years and now I am reduced to pretty much nothing (less than nothing even). No savings, no income, no security.

My tools:

• 8 years worth of SEO and marketing experience
• Basic .net programming skills
• Good telesales skills

So why am I writing about this? Well, partly to motivate myself, partly to help others in the same situation as me, and maybe partly just to keep me sane.

I plan on documenting my progress back to the top. Each idea I have or avenue I follow I will write about it here and let people (well, assuming anyone reads this) know what happens and how well it turns out.

So, step 1.

I am going to have a lot of loose ends to tie up with all my creditors who all want a bit of my blood for themselves. So the first goal is to turn some quick profit to pay the bills at the end of the month.

Yesterday I bought Xrumer, a blackhat tool to spam links. Yes, I know what your thinking, and guess what? I don't care! I will be pissing many people off using it but right now I dont have the time to lay down links manually or pay expensive link building costs.

My 2 pronged attack for this month is to:

1. Create autoblogs on low competition keyphrases and monetize the traffic
2. Sell web design, copywriting, seo & marketing services by cold calling companies.

If anyone who is in the same boat as me wants to join forces then just drop me a comment or send me a PM and we can share information on what works and what doesn't. But only do so if you are serious about taking action as I expect results!

Well, got a lot of work to do now, so will check back in a few days to report how things are progressing.

Peace out Peepz
