Final Thoughts on “10 Day”, go PHILLY! and more
Before I do anything, I want to give a big shout out to my favorite Basketball Team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Today, they upset the Detroit Pistons 90 to 86 in game one of their 7 game series. It’s been great watching the sixers this season. A lot of people had them pegged to finish dead last before the season began, and for awhile, it looked like that might happen. However, they really pulled it together. Unlike a lot of more talented teams, this edition of the Sixers really play as a team. They just don’t quit. At one point in today’s game, it looked like Detroit was just going to run away with it, but Philly just kept coming. In my opinion, if they were playing Cleveland or Orlando, I bet they could pull the upset. Detroit though, is just too talented. They took Philadelphia lightly this time, and I doubt they’ll do it again. At the very least, they won’t be talking to former teammates during timeouts, like they did today.
To business. Here are my final thoughts on the “10 Day Cash Secret”. It is interesting, and it’s worth a try. However, at this point I’ve created 10 websites using this system, and I’ve made $4.78 in total. Not exactly a great ROI. How to explain the discrepancy between my results, and the results that Neil achieved? Well, I can think of a couple:
1) With the site that Neil set up for Tesco, he was actually able to use the Tesco brand name in his blog. I believe Tesco is a fairly big name in the UK. If would be like being able to use a brand name like “Safeway” or “Walmart” in North America. I suspect this gives his blog an added bit of credibility. When you click on this Tesco blog, you are taken right to Tesco direct.
2) Like I said, I created 10 blog / datafeed stores to test this out. However, this is probably too many, and I was trying to use datafeeds that were too large. I suspect this is why I can no longer get the sites to update automatically. If you were going to try this, I would recommend only setting up one or two sites, with a max of 3000 products in the datafeed.
Although I haven’t achieved any kind of great sales with this system, there is still potential with them as far as being satellite sites for your main websites. For example, if you own a gardening website, you might want to set up a datafeed store with just gardening equipment. The datafeed store would support your main website, and vice versa.
If you’re interested in checking out the sites I set up using “The 10 Day Cash Secret”, here they are:
Bestcatanddogstuff.com
Comicstatuesreplicas.com
Swimmingpoolsandpumps.com
Wallandceilinglighting.com
Orientalandpersianrugs.com
Networkitsystems.com
Luggageandtravelgear.com
Indoorandoutdoorfurniture.com
Bestguitarampsandkeyboards.com
Bathroomtoolsandpumps.com
If I suddenly start to make a lot of money from any of these sites (and all of them have been up for less than a month), I’ll let you know.
I think what I’m going to focus on for the next couple of weeks is video blogging, or making viral video’s for youtube. In an earlier post, I wrote about and posted this video, which concerned the falling American dollar. What really caught my eye, and what I’ve been mulling over, is that one video had something like 200,000 views since it went live on April 4. If you create an interesting video, and it’s promoted by a social network, it can really drive traffic to a site. It just looks very interesting.
As well, tomorrow (April 21) I’m going to have my first mentoring session with Aaron (unless it really is Yuri the Pig Farmer). I’ll have to report on that as well.
To our Success!

Interesting Dave, I bought this and returned it as I couldn’t get it to work with Share a sale.
Would be interested to see if anyone is making $ . Know someone else using it and haven’t seen them writing any raving reports.
