This post is part of a series where I share my updates on personal development challenges and other stuff that doesn’t need a separate post.

Internet Marketing Update

Two weeks ago I started an internet marketing challenge here on this blog. This week I’ve made some serious progress and my market samurai page is already showing in the first page for two competitive keywords (particularly in the 3rd position for “market samurai review”). My other website is still not showing up in google, but this is quite normal in the first weeks if the website is new, so I’m not worrying too much.

So far I’m spending less than 15 minutes a day to rank these websites. The bulk of work is creating quality articles, however I only need to do that once. You can read my technical update here in case you’re interested.

Health and Martial Arts

I think I’ve found a very nice sequence of exercises to do everyday in less than 15 minutes without any equipment. The sequence consists of ten series of 10 pushups, 10 abs and 10 frog jumps (you can do them in place). You can vary intensity or repetitions of course.

Study

I’m still studying some math and computer science stuff. I’m proceeding slowly but I make sure that I do something every day. Right now I’m studying discrete math which will help me to understand some advanced computer science stuff, and I’m reading essentials of programming languages.

Other Stuff

Some time ago I told you how creating a blog and document your learning process can open up many opportunities. This week I received a job offer on my cocoa development blog, which unfortunately I had to turn down as I don’t feel very competent yet. That demonstrates once again the power of blogs.
