It's the rainy season here in Japan right now. It started off with little rain at all, but it seems that the Japanese rain god, who is a dragon called Kuraokami, decided to have a blast this week and has unloaded a skyful of rain on Hiroshima over the last few days...
I woke up this morning to the news that both my daughter's school classes and my college classes had all been cancelled (except for one online class that I teach from home in the late afternoon)... so suddenly, and for the first time in about ten weeks, I have some unexpected free time on my hands!
That gives me a chance to report on what I've been up to over the last few weeks as I have not posted much on CTP Talk or my Hive blog for quite a while - ever since college term began, in fact!
During college term I run my online business on "maintenance mode," doing a few basic daily tasks to keep the wheels turning, but little or nothing in the way of content creation.
Here's what I do when running my business on "maintenance mode":
Maintain EliteDownlineBuilder.com: approve ads, send out commission payments, and respond to support requests. Make any necessary updates to the site.
Promote either EDB or my Beginners Crypto Course via viral mailers or traffic exchanges.
Click 10 or more ads on LeadsLeap, 7 ads on Listjumper, and 7 ads on ViralMailProfits.
Collect Satoshi on several Bitcoin faucets.
Maintain my SFI membership by clicking for "VP" every day.
Enter Russell's daily prize draws - the Wheel of Engagement, Hive wheel and Ghost wheel.
Upvote Hive and CTP posts.
Maintain my "Crypto Conveyer Belt" to keep growing my daily BTC earnings.
I don't manage to get all of those steps done every day, and when push comes to shove, I will just approve EDB ads and check the status of my "Crypto Conveyer Belt"
So, what progress has my business made in the last 10 weeks?
EliteDownlineBuilder has grown to over 700 CONFIRMED members (I delete all unconfirmed members after a few days). That's an average growth of just over one new member per day over the last 10 weeks.
My Beginners Crypto Course has grown more slowly, but now has 113 subscribers, which in turn brings in a trickle of new members to the programs that I recommend through the course.
Even without posting much content on CTP Talk or Hive, I now have 13,000 staked CTP Tokens (and 343 unstaked ones that are going towards Eliana's Fireball Competition Prize). Somehow, I am still in the top 30 CTP Token owners on the "Rich List". Hive growth is much slower, but hit 240 over the weekend.
May was my best month ever for EliteDownlineBuilder earnings, thanks in part to the adoption of the CTP Firepay payment facilitator. I love it when customers use Stripe as their payment option through Firepay because the loot ends up in my Japanese bank account without any fees. I was able to live for several weeks on my EDB earnings alone. :)
My Crypto Conveyer Belt is really starting to flow now. I am consistently earning well over $4 (BTC equivalent) per day, and hit a new high last week of $7.86 in a single day. I expect to bust that record later this week as I was able to transfer accumulated profits from one program of the "crypto conveyer belt" down the line to the next...
I started the year with just $200 in crypto. Currently, including CTP Tokens and Hive, my total stands at around $1,200, with a considerable chunk of that gain coming during this period of operating on "maintenance mode"... and with ZERO out of pocket expense involved.
Light at the end of the Tunnel
With just three more weeks remaining of one college term, and just another week or so left of the rainy season, I can see light at the end of the teaching tunnel!
I'm certainly looking forward to having a bit more time and energy for more creative projects, but on the other hand, I can't complain about the good progress my online business has been making even in "maintenance mode."
All the best,
