Ch ch ch changes!
As of today you’ll find a number of changes happening here at Mathew Packer dot com.
The first thing you’ll notice is that I’m working on a new theme, and call me insane but I’m going to be working on it live! No one in their right mind would work on their website live while it was still getting hits, and normally I wouldn’t as I wouldn’t want to negatively effect the advertising click potential of the site, however I’m willing to work on it this was as I don’t care about the advertising clicks on here as I’m ditching the advertising!
So as you just read the second big change is getting rid of the advertising on this website. As of about 2 weeks ago my subscriber count has risen from 20 people per day up to 75 per day, this is a pretty huge increase but my click rate on the advertisements has not risen at all. This has lead me to the conclusion that people actually enjoy what I write enough to actually subscribe to the RSS so I figure I would do everyone a favour and serve the site sans advertising.
Over the Christmas period last year I was all about ‘making money online’. Pretty well every post was about some form of revenue generation and blah blah blah, it’s all a bunch of ‘me too’ content that was being said by every second blogger out there. Looking back now I can clearly see that I was just jumping aboard the copycat express with everyone other sucker out there.
A month or so ago I started supplementing my MMO articles with real life articles, the couple of recipes I’ve posted bring in more traffic than any other ‘insert big affiliate marketing website name here’ article that I was writing as has the Lite n Easy Diet progress articles that I’ve written. This is the direction I now want to take my blog in.
From here on out I’ll be writing various posts on things that are happening in my life, around home, around work, etc. I’ve got plenty going on with all the happenings at I’m With The Band, launching the new targeted pain relief device Pain Gone, getting my ‘how to start a business’ website together at A Business Is Born, the medical news website that I’m helping work out with Medical News, Stat! , and I’ve even had a few emails from people in the last week asking me if I could develop blog themes for their websites as they saw me advertising myself as Freelance Matt.
All these changes are effective immediately! As soon as I hit the ‘Publish’ button I’ll get started on the theme changes, it’s going to look a little different around here sometime in the next minute or so..
Oh and for those of you who are still interested in Making Money Online, and Making Money Blogging, I’ll still publish the odd article about how I’m doing this as I’m concentrating my advertising and what not on the other websites I own, I may even still publish income reports……
Cheers, Matt
Lite n Easy, still rocking along!
Another Lite n Easy week has gone and another couple of kilo’s as well, so the weight loss total so far is 7 kilograms which puts me down to 93kg. The main area I lost weight from this week was my legs and feet, I think I almost lost an entire shoe size or pretty close to it..weird..
The highlights food wise this week were the Chicken Tenders with Chilli Plum Sauce on a bread roll, week A day 4, and then the Chicken and Pasta Bake on day 7. Mmmmmmmm, I can still remember the chicken tenders!
I also tried a couple of different dinners this week, the best being the Baked Chicken with Mushroom Sauce!
Anyway, still happy with how the dieting is going and that I’m still losing weight without having to do a tonne of exercise..
Stay tuned for next week, I’ve got a few new dinners coming and I’m looking forward to the Thai Chicken Cakes we get on Day 2.
Take it easy, Matt
Lite n Easy, week 1 is over
Well it’s been a week of Lite n Easy and so far so good. At the start of the week I weight pretty well 100kg on the dot, at the end of the week I’ve managed to knock that down to 95kg. I’m pretty happy with that seeing as it’s 5kg, and particularly because I did next to no exercise. Does hitting golf balls at the driving range count as no exercise, as that’s pretty well all I did.
This week was week D in Lite n Easy’s food rotation, my highlight would’ve been the Canton Dim Sims that were for lunch on day 2. Very tasty indeed, cant wait till it comes around in another 3 weeks time. Dinner wise I’m always into Lite n Easy’s Satay Chicken, I also tried their Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai for the first time and I have to say I probably wouldn’t get that again, however I did enjoy the Chinese Pork which was also another new dish.
Anyway, this was just a quick update seeing as I’ve had a few people checking out my progress, and not to mention that I’m on the front page for Google when you search Lite n Easy.
