Day 15 Thursday 3 May 2012 training demonstrates simple word processing skills leading on to editing a PLR document.

Nothing I can do until I have chosen my niche, product and PLR to edit.
For now I just watched the videos and listened to audio versions to find out what I need to do later.

Summary of time spent for the day:

• 5 minutes creating MP3 audio files
• 17 minutes listening to audio files while out walking
• 5 minutes making notes of days activities (to help me rinse and repeat later)
• 17 minutes watching videos and doing the days work including blog posts
• 0 minutes sorting out technology problems

Summary of time spent on One Month Mentor to date:

• 106 minutes creating MP3 audio files
• 213 minutes listening to audio files while out walking
• 287 minutes making notes of days activities (to help me rinse and repeat later)
• 1074 minutes watching video and doing the days work
• 195 minutes sorting out technology problems

I’m probably about 19 hours behind and need to spend about $178 to get up to date with John’s training.

If I was up to date the training would have taken me about 50 hours averaging about three and a half hours each day.

Day 14 Wednesday 2 May 2012 and we’re back to straight forward practical tasks that I find easy.

The first task was to download and install OpenOffice – nothing for me to do as I already use this to produce PDF’s versions

Taking it easy, nothing for me to do today, by LadyDragonflyCC

of documents I have created in word (2002 version that doesn’t have pdf feature)

Although the rest of the days tasks are easy I can’t do any of them until I have caught up on work I should have completed over the last few days:

Editing PLR to create my own product, choosing a product name, buying a relevant domain name and ordering graphics.

Summary of time spent for the day:

• 10 minutes creating MP3 audio files
• 14 minutes listening to audio files while out walking
• 15 minutes making notes of days activities (to help me rinse and repeat later)
• 15 minutes watching videos and doing the days work including blog posts
• 0 minutes sorting out technology problems

Summary of time spent on One Month Mentor to date:

• 101 minutes creating MP3 audio files
• 206 minutes listening to audio files while out walking
• 270 minutes making notes of days activities (to help me rinse and repeat later)
• 1057 minutes watching video and doing the days work
• 195 minutes sorting out technology problems

I’m now falling even further behind – needing to spend maybe $27 to $97 plus time looking through all of the material.

My guess is that I’m now about 17 hours behind.
Plus I probably need to spend:

• $27 on blog graphics
• $54 on PLR (from 2 different sources)
• $87 on product graphics
• $10 on a product domain name

Total still to spend = $178.
No problem when I am more confident that I have chosen the right niche and product to get started with – but too much to waste.

Day 13 Tuesday 1 May 2012 tasks are to source as much PLR material as possible.

Darn - slowing down and not doing so well

John suggested using Warrior Special Offers, resale Rights Fortune and PLR Monthly as good places to find PLR to buy.

Unfortunately my experience buying PLR has not been good. Whether I’ve spent a few or lots of $ I’ve been spectacularly unimpressed with the quality.
I have many, many gigabytes of PLR that’s been sitting around taking up disk space because I couldn’t in good conscience bring myself to offer it to my prospect or customers – even with a major rewrite.

John does explain that I need to use the PLR material in the right way – something clearly I haven’t yet been able to do – and he will explain what to do over the next few days.

The WSO PLR in John’s example cost $27.
PLR Fortune costs $27 or $47 a month
PLR Monthly costs $17 a month or a one-off $97

The need to source ‘as much PLR material as possible’ unfortunately pushed me to decide to wait and learn more before jumping in and spending $. For now I’ve decided to search through the PLR material I already have.

Summary of time spent for the day:

• 2 minutes creating MP3 audio files
• 6 minutes listening to audio files while out walking
• 10 minutes making notes of days activities (to help me rinse and repeat later)
• 30 minutes watching videos and doing the days work including blog posts
• 0 minutes sorting out technology problems

Summary of time spent on One Month Mentor to date:

• 91 minutes creating MP3 audio files
• 192 minutes listening to audio files while out walking
• 255 minutes making notes of days activities (to help me rinse and repeat later)
• 1042 minutes watching video and doing the days work
• 195 minutes sorting out technology problems

I’m now falling even further behind – needing to spend maybe $27 to $97 plus time looking through all of the material.

So I guess I’m now about 15 hours behind.
