[Honeybadger]

Normal day I earn $60

All steps I took (if you reading it today I will update all day)
.....................................
Coffee
Set earning target $200 today
Google Trends (what happens in my niche last 24 hrs?)
Find 8 new products in GT, research on Google
From 8 products I sign up for newsletter x 3
Look at news in my niche (clothes/shoes/sunglasses)
View yesterday stats (record in spreadsheet)

• GA > Pages (x views, top 10)
• GA > Products (x sales, top 10)
• GA > Questions (site search, top 10)

View yesterday earning (record in spreadsheet)

• Email program manager

Plan for day (start-to-finish)

Segment the tasks with many breaks
Choose time to stop work & relax

Things I learn today

1. Focus on top 10 (stats)
   
2. Know the latest news (your niche)
   
3. Understand your customer journey
4. Search for updates (set up page alerts)
5. Go faster all the time
6. Automate all actions (for scale)
7. Delete all things distracting you out of view
8. Make checklist for repeat jobs

1. wget/curl a product feed daily (or on it's update schedule) on a crontab (automate this download)
2. do your gathering trend data like you are doing now
3. parse the feed for item description matching the data you want
4. Script the HTML for that data you parsed above
5. Then: edit that HTML for unique copy and SEO context

Otherwise, you will burnout after a while doing it all manually
