I haven’t updated on a few things I’ve mentioned here recently, so here’s where a few projects stand:

Flipping Websites

I haven’t finished the content for the quick flip sites–Only about a quarter of it for the first handful of sites. I’ll get to it when I can, but unfortunately the beginning of the year is always insanely swamped with client projects.

I also haven’t done much more with eWritingJobs.com. I’ll probably only add another 2-3 articles to that one, and no more ezinearticles for it. Right now I just need to let it age, and more importantly, I need to find ways to monetize the traffic. It’s earning pretty much nothing, while newer sites are doing well.

I think I’ll be able to flip the free online courses site afterall. I still have to do several posts there to get one per category setup. It’s already monetizing decently for the traffic it has. I want to double or triple what it’s earning now, and then I’ll sell it off.

Web Writer’s Guide E-book Series

The first Web Writer’s Guide e-book has been selling much better, and I have better promotion under way for that. So I’ll be putting more time into the next e-book in the series now. It’s the one on marketing your web writing services more effectively.

I originally expected that this would be even longer than the original book. However, I’ve decided to make some changes. There will be a LOT of worksheets and templates–so much so that I’ve decided to make this e-book predominantly a workbook. It will include those interactive elements as the base, with content explaining what each is for, and how to use them. Then I’ll create a few smaller products going more into depth on a few marketing concepts, which will be included as bonuses. I’m doing this because the other option was to create something so comprehensive that would have a higher price point than the first. I’d rather have the first be the flagship product, and base the series on smaller projects around it.

The Novel

While not directly related to freelancing, I mentioned here that I was working on drafting a novel (based on an outline I did back in ‘04). I posted about it, because I was looking for tools to track the word count.

So far I haven’t added that status bar anywhere here (I may), but if you’re interested in following that project at all, you can find out more at All Book Writing. While I haven’t written as religously as I should have, it’s still coming along well (about 7% through it now – doesn’t sound like a lot, but it came to about 24-25 manuscript pages, which is nothing to sneeze at either).

So what has everyone else been up to this month? Making progress on those 2009 goals yet?
