Michael - this is outstanding! I think everyone can relate what you say to their own blog and find a valuable take-away. This is high-quality, professional, constructive coaching advice - wow!!

@Caroline: Thanks, I’m glad you found it helpful, and that you’re already thinking ahead along the same lines that I’ve mentioned in the review. So, in that case, I would say focus on building your audience and your email list.

@Fred: Thanks, Fred!

Thanks Michael for an excellent review! You are not the first person to say, “Hey, what about the software?”. The situation I am in at the moment is that I have no income and need to start bringing one in quickly. Software takes time to develop and it is not a fast money earner so I made the decision up front that I would concentrate purely on marketing for the first 3 months.

In January, I’ll start developing software regardless of my income level but it will start slowly at first. I do hope to be able to bring together both my software skills and Internet marketing. I’ve been toying with one or two ideas but nothing solid yet.

As for my game, I’m quite serious about developing it - the joking was the bit about being rich and famous It will mostly likely be completely open source and free to play. The trouble of course is simply time. It would probably take years and as it’s just a pet project I’m having a hard time justifying spending any time on it until I have some money coming in.

Here is my ideal goal of how I’d like things to pan out over the next few years… For the next year I make some money with niche marketing, build a few sites and perhaps sell them. This gives me some cash in the bank to allow me to spend more time developing software and bringing more technical skills into my Internet marketing projects. Over the following year or 2 I’d like to have most of my income coming from software. Eventually it would be nice to not have to worry about money at all and just spend all my time doing what I’m passionate about - developing games.

Well that’s my dream! Thanks again for the great review. The theme was designed by somebody else and my CSS is not all that great so I’m not sure I can change too much with that.
