Work from Home Success Diary – July 5, 2010 Update

I don’t know about you but the last time I actually worked was on Thursday. I think it’s important to take some time off! We just got back from a weekend trip today and I feel great knowing that I gave myself some time to reset and to think about some things concerning my online business.

What was Formerly Know as The Thirty Day Challenge Begins

Remember it? The Thirty Day Challenge is something that I’ve done for the past few years. Actually I think I missed 2008 because I was on vacation. But I’ve done it a few times and I like it. No, I love it. It’s cutting edge stuff. It’s about teaching you (for free) what works the best right now for internet marketing.

Why are we in business online?

I’m starting a project of writing some PLR article packs to put up for sale on this site. I’m also hormonal. After watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and wishing that I was in Oia, just like the character who went to Greece, (yes, believe it or not I really, physically, recognized that random Greek Village as Oia on the island of Santorini) I had a mini-professional crisis. I felt bored with writing articles. And Oia sent me spinning into that mini-crisis because Oia is way more interesting than content.

What did I do today? June 28 2010

After a rough start, I managed to pull through and actually get some things accomplished.

Work From Home Success Diary June 27 2010

I was just reading through back-posts from Amy Bass’s My Debt Free Goal blog. I’ve followed her blog since she started it and have always admired her efforts in getting her family out of debt and building an income online. I decided to do something – her posts inspired me!

My Daily Squidoo Checklist

I’ve been working pretty hard at Squidoo. I now have 62 total lenses with several more in the works. In addition, I try to always work on my lenses to make them better and to be a part of the Squidoo community. Sound like a lot of work? Getting all those lenses up at first was but now I have a simple little routine that takes about thirty minutes to complete and it helps me do all of those things. I thought I’d share with you my daily checklist.

Just Joined Wealthy Affiliate – One Day Until Rate Increase!

I debated and debated whether to join the wealthy affiliate forum. I was afraid that it would clutter my mind up even more than it already is, what with all the “studying” about internet marketing I’ve been doing over the years. But you know what? I just went ahead with it, and the pending rate increase from $39 a month to $99 a month isn’t just what made me decide.

Updates for Path to Success

I really like my blog theme. Furthermore, I love the way the pages look – the titles look sharp, don’t they? I had to start this post with something positive because I am a little bit embarrassed. I went on a redecorating frenzy over a month ago and I changed all the page names. Then, I just noticed that I didn’t really do anything else after that. The pages are scanty with little or no text on them. I advertise a newsletter but I don’t have the signup box, too.

Search Engine Optimization Tips for Squidoo

In my last post I talked about Squidoo and how I have a lot to learn… I often don’t give myself enough credit. People have commented in previous posts (thanks Michelle!) about “not getting it” at Squidoo. It seems that generating traffic can be a problem and I do know about this first hand. Half my lenses right now really aren’t getting a lot of traffic but most of them are in their infancy. I expect the traffic to pick up considerably especially once I go through all my pages and make sure that I follow these tips:

I Still Have a Lot to Learn at Squidoo

A few days ago I decided to make Squidoo my number one online effort. I started a lens a while ago that I update periodically highlighting my adventures.  I’m completely done with trying to make some “extra cash” with those content sites. I slugged it through to make $52 at The Content Authority which is okay but for the amount of time I spent, I could have made at least one new lens a day and promoted and worked on the ones I do have. It was a wasted effort really. Wie Schade. (Too bad). But at least I know that now.
