For the first time in two months, I actually have time to sit down to write a blog post.

This semester really kicked my butt. I did manage to get a 3.6 GPA while running a full-time marketing business, but I had to sacrifice a lot. Depending on the day, I had to sacrifice growing my business, video game time (very important), running and lifting, my social life… every day, some sacrifices were made, but school always came first (sometimes I feel like that is a downfall).

Some of you have met my dog, Boo, over the years. I am sad to report that Boo is now chasing squirrels in doggy heaven. She got very sick very quickly until she could barely hold herself up, and she died peacefully about three weeks ago.

On a lighter note, with only one semester left, I have very high hopes for 2009. In just the last two weeks, I have struck joint venture agreements with two different million dollar internet marketers. One of them is a new product that we’re hoping develops into my first million-dollar venture; the other is a continuity program that we hope to become the #1 selling product in the niche. Both have the potential to be my most profitable projects ever.

If those are the only major changes that happen in the next year, I will be more than happy. However, I have much more planned. In fact, in the last several months, I have been acquiring as many niche sites as possible in order to grow and hedge against the economy. I have purchased four profitable websites in the last six months, and I am currently revamping them all. I also plan on jumping head first into my favorite niche, which I’ll reveal in my next blog post later this week.

Furthermore, I have been working on a new product that is due to launch at the end of January. It’s my first internet marketing product launch in a long-time, and it is way overdue. My business friends have been begging me to release a product like this for a long time, and I finally have begun creating it. With nine huge JVs currently lined up for it, I’m expecting it to be one of the top selling Clickbank products of the new year.

Thankfully, I am taking a very light load this semester, and I’ll be graduating in April (unless I add another major, which is a possibility). It is hard for me to believe that I’ll be a college graduate in five months. Even before I graduate, I’ll be traveling to Florida twice to meet some business partners, to Las Vegas to meet Kyle and Carson from Wealthy Affiliate, launching three products, growing my niche sites, preparing the next phase of TheAffiliateGod.com, and… oh yeah, going to school.

My life is so full, but it is so full of good things. These next few months will test me, but it most certainly will not be boring.

Later this week, I am going to be announcing a major change in my business. For the first time ever, I’m going to work personally with a handful of people, which is completely different than anything that I’ve ever done before. Look for that on Thursday or Friday…

I want to thank those of you who have stuck with me for so long. Your notes of encouragement and appreciation for what I do always make a world of a difference. As an economics student, I often fret about the state of the world and the decisions that are made that continue to make things worse… but I am reminded of all the blessings that have been entrusted unto me. Thank you for your constant support. I promise to return the favor in 2009!
