I'm Back!

Hello and welcome (back) to my blog. As you can probably tell, I got a little side tracked. Let me give you a little recap.
A while back, December 2008 to be exact, I started two blogs. One was a site called "backwardfuture" and the other was called http://bertsboxofficeblog.com/. I was writing backward future and my son, who lives in Hollywood due to his love of movies, was writing http://bertsboxofficeblog.com/ . In addition to writing backwardfuture, I was also responsible for marketing the sites. I found all sorts of information available on how to drive more traffic to my blogs. I started this site in the hopes of maybe being the guinea pig for other would be online entrepeneurs. I would sort through the volumes of ideas available online regarding increasing site traffic, put into practice what I thought to be some of the better ideas, and post my progress (or lack there of) on this site.
And then life happened. I was unemployed when I started this venture. In the spring of 2009, I took a job in radio as a media buyer. I am working close to 50 hours a week but have finally settled into a routine that will allow me a bit of time to invest into blogging. My son didn't think things were growing fast enough and lost interest. But, it was actually him who reignited my interest in blogging. (Thanks Bert!)
And so here we are. When I bought the domain names in December 2008, I bought "backwardfuture" for a year and http://bertsboxofficeblog.com/ for two years. I don't know why I did it that way but, in my defense, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. Needless to say, the "backwardfuture" name was gone but we still owned Bertsboxofficeblog. After a call to Hostgator, who I have used since day one for hosting, we were back in business. http://bertsboxofficeblog.com/ went live again on September 27, 2010! Every bit of content since its inception is still there. And on October 9, 2010 we added to the family by creating http://bertsboobtubeblog.com/ .
The goal is to reach 10,000 visits a day for each blog and I intend to use this blog as a diary for how we are doing with that goal and what we are doing to achieve it. I invite you to follow along. Maybe we can all learn a few things along the way.
