Does Anyone Know What Happened to Last Months Posts?

great face.jpgI don’t.  But either I imagined I wrote a hell of a lot more in November, or half the shit I did write is missing.  I’m not sure.  Anyone got any ideas?

    I was wondering that myself haha.

    I can’t see it just happening out of the blew. But I am no wizard with wordpress so I probably won’t be much help! =)

    Pain in the ass – I updated my version of WP through the automatic updater provided by my host that not only didn’t work – it apparently ate all of my posts from mid-november forward.

    If I was a bit more organized and responsible – I would have that backed up and would simply restore it myself, but I’m guessing you know that I’m not that organized. (nor responsible)

    So those thoughts may be permenately lost to the universal collective conciousness.

    I don’t even remember what they were about – but it still is disappointing to know they aren’t there anymore. Oh well..:-)

    Yeah, sorry man I tried looking for an old cached page in Google but I had no luck. I am guessing you already did that anyways.

    I can’t remember the exact dates or anything, but the older post was about Life Mastery Labs.

    You kind of gave a quick overview of it, and said that you put together a PDF which is a compilation of what you have written here on article marketing.

    The newer post was the St. Anger one where you were speaking about an email you got from a merchant that you were an affiliate for.

    You said they hadn’t emailed you in about a year and then they tried promoting some type of internet marketing product (though their niche was for dogs or something, I think).

    I remember you using part of the phrase,

    “time to raise the bar from the mental minded midgetry”

    - that phrase stuck with me cause I found it so creative haha.

    Maybe this will help you out though. I probably could have been able to remember more, but I just have a lot on my mind with my campaign and finals coming up!

    Hopefully it gives you a refresher though =)

    Hey man,

    I couldn’t help notice the newbies only page that you have up. I am not sure if I had seen this before, so I was just wondering if that offer is still good?

    I am still working away, I only managed to get 90 leads for my first week (from 30 new articles) but I am sure it will increase as I keep writing and increasing my CTR.

    Hope everything is going well with the business launch coming up!

    Hey Shawn – – It looks like the glitch with my WP update sort of reverted my blog to a prior state ( as alot of the pages/and other stuff I had taken down were restored – i.e. – the bad affiliate links are back, the opt in form is back, etc..:-) – So no….none of that stuff on top is really too relevant right now (other than my Match.Com profile is still the same..:-) -I have a ton of stuff going on – so it’s tough for me to update this blog as much – I’m helping a new company launch what I hope will be a really successful product – (a health and wellness  proprietary supplement) – have my own project – have to wrap up all of my smaller affiliate projects to dedicate the time to launch lifemasterylabs.com properly (and those campaigns pay the bills – so a bit of a risk to stop them completely), my sister just had a baby ( a month earlier than expected), and so on..:-) – I’m hoping to have the lifemastery labs stuff off the ground a bit more in the next 30 days – AND – I’ll be using some of the blueprints from the other stuff that is coming up to illuminate/illustrate and demonstrate some of this stuff in the initial LML reports that I’ll be writing. (as long as these other projects don’t mind me sharing what we’re doing for them – which hopefully, won’t be an issue..:-) – Overall – I’ll be mailing something to that list in the next few days asking for questions for the next free report – if you want, feel free to ask some, and submit them when you get that email( I know you are on that list) – Of course I might not get to them all – but you are more welcome to ask as much as you want, sometimes just jotting down the questions I have is a great precursor to intuiting the answers on my own as well. :-)

    Hey Ian,

    Great to hear from you.

    That’s awesome that you are so busy! Normally people would be complaining about it, but I know this is all stuff you love doing, so that is great =)

    It is funny that you talked about asking yourself questions…

    In between studying for finals and working on my campaigns I am reading “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins (instead of having a social life =)

    He talks a lot about how your mind automatically finds answers to the questions you ask yourself and that most people ask themselves questions on auto-pilot.

    I have tried to do this deliberately and it seems to be working (for my campaigns at least).

    Pretty cool!

    I am glad I am not the only one who had that problem, got pretty upset about it when it happened.
    Besides that I wanted to let you know Ian that I am so happy to have found your website (PotPieGirl recommended your EBook in an email to me) I have already read through it once and am going to do it over and over until I get the whole meaning of it all down to the T.
    Finally some one who understands what it is newbies are sometimes looking for when trying to figure this marketing thing out.
    Keep up the good work, you Rock!!!
