I'm sick of being a lazy a$$ faggot living with my parents. I'm going to build a business from scratch to fund my rent so I can move out.

I've been dabbling with IM stuff and I intend to enter the SEO market. Except I'm going to niche down so I can serve a more targeted need.

Pretty annoyed because this is the 3rd time I'm typing this. I couldn't publish the thread for some reason and the back button clears everything I typed... Lol yeah, just saying.

I don't have much technical skills yadayada, I have $300 to invest in this. I'll be checking in every morning and posting what I did every evening.

I'll stick to the classic free gift + email collection. By the end of tomorrow I'll have both the free gift and the website created. - 16/11/2012

-edit- Oh yeah, I aim to get $1000/mo by the end of the month.
