This blog has been like a ghost town.  Sorry about that.

I've been upto a whole lot.  I'm back to focusing on article marketing and link building big time, and this time it is going to stick.  I've learned about some excellent resources and have a plan in place. 

I'm mostly going to outsource the article writing. That will be for quite a few websites but at a fabulous price. Then the articles will be submitted to directories through a submission service, and they'll all be unique.  I'll even be able to recoup most of my costs for the article outsourcing through Associated Content.  Pretty cool. 

My focus and motivation to move forward and take consistent action is greatly influenced by the membership forum at earn1KaDay.com.  It's a very active, generous, supportive group of people.  The owner, Dennis Becker, is creating video series to demonstrate methods to earn income online.  There are 2 very detailed tutorials available right now and more to come. The forum is only a couple months old and is evolving according to the members' interests.  Dennis is actively involved and other leaders are emerging.  It's very exciting and pretty cheap too.  Here's a video created by one of the members if you'd like to learn more - E1KaDay…

I've done some more work on my Squidoo lens.  It's kind of fun and I have lots more ideas for the coming weeks… or months?

That's it for now.  I'll be back soon.

So there’s another new version of WordPress. I don’t think I’ll move in that direction yet. I’m still getting used to the last one.

I’ve been spending some brain power lately evaluating what I’m doing online in creating a business. You know, I don’t think article marketing is for me. I had started to believe that just because I know more about that than anything else, that’s the way I need to go. But I don’t enjoy it and so it becomes such an effort.

That’s why I haven’t been posting much lately — lots of soul searching to figure out just what really fits for me, that I would enjoy pursuing for the long run.

Today I focused on creating a Blogini 2.0 blog and really enjoyed myself. That’s probably a hint. The niche is in the area of wellness and I really enjoy that topic. That’s probably also a hint.

I am currently learning to build websites in order to sell them (I can focus on any niche I want). A very knowledgeable member of the Keyword Avalanche forum is offering this training. I’m also observing the process of building a webpage/landing page that promotes eBay auctions. (The payout for eBay affiliates is set to skyrocket very soon.) Dennis Becker of 5 Bucks a Day is offering this.

I also have learned a couple models for building websites in order to sell links and other advertising. This one takes a little longer to build up page rank.

A few months ago I mentioned a program that teaches a model of internet consulting and marketing. That program has opened its doors again and I am re-evaluating how that might fit. I’ve learned of an offline source of leads and it could be very promising. I’ll need to make a decision quickly with this opportunity.

So, that’s where it’s at. A ton of opportunities and the time to start making a real business out of my efforts.

I learned of a book recently, Success Engineering by Phil Gosling, that outlines the intersection of quantum mechanics and spirituality and creating the life that you want to experience. The engineering part is the clearest method I’ve seen to actually put this into practice. That’s part of my plan here too. And that’s all for now.

Have a good one.

Quite a productive day today. Much better than when I last wrote.

I’m still in the process of re-reading “5 Bucks a Day,” and compiling my list of projects, which is good. Even better is that ideas are coming to me from all over the place. That’s even better! I watched a video on CPA (cost per action) today and have lots of ideas from that. Then there’s minisites, bum marketing, adsense websites, authority sites, etc. There are countless ways to build revenue streams but focus is still vital. Build with one technique at a time and finish what I start. That’s so key to success.

I submitted some more articles to Ezine Articles this afternoon. I’m close to where I can be promoted to platinum status so articles can be approved in hours rather than days. I’m reading on the Keyword Avalanche forum that Ezine Articles is becoming more selective about what it will accept. Looks like they don’t want any articles that even appear to promote specific products. That’s good to know now, but a little late for some of my new adsense sites. I outsourced the articles and some came back looking very promotional. Oh well.

In addition to submitting articles, I have been bookmarking the pages on my sites with social bookmarking sites. I’m doing it a page at a time so it doesn’t look spammy at all. I also created a whole bunch of links to my pages from the Article Underground blogs. The point is to get links and more links. I’ll just stick with it. I’m also continuing to register with article directories in order to use Article Post Robot, which will distribute articles to hundreds of the smaller directories. The signing up process is the time consuming one. The article posting will be the easy part.

Priority for tomorrow is writing an article for InfoGoRound. If I submit one article a month, my membership is free. I don’t understand how they do it, but I sure appreciate it.

That’s all for now. It’s a good day to give someone a hug… Happy Valentines’ Day.

Here’s a post I just made to my blog on Senserely Yours. Not sure how to describe what Senserely is about, except it provides a community for online folks focused thinly around adsense and promising a share in adsense revenue. It’s free and has lots of activity too!
“So 2007 is now well underway and I’ve decided to put some intentions in writing so I can gage my success throughout the year.

As I mentioned, I am involved in a program to learn to create adsense websites that will actually bring in visitors and clicks. That should lead to earning a check from Google. The keyword research has become a snap! An element of this training is to learn to put these sites on autopilot by outsourcing the site maintenance. Sounds good to me! So ultimately, I could create quite an empire of these sites, which is one of my intentions for 2007. To create a high 4 figure monthly adsense income following this process.

I recently joined the Warrior Master Mind, which is a program being offered by Allen Says on the Warrior Forum. His focus in on building minisites for gathering optins and growing subscriber lists, then following up with a long series of autoresponder messages promoting affiliate products and services. I like the model a lot, and feel pretty privileged to be able to learn it through him. So apparently these sites can also run pretty much on autopilot once established. That sounds pretty cool and is another intention for 2007. Create a high 4 figure monthly affiliate income following Allen’s process.

Beyond that, there are so many options! Bum Marketing, Social Networking, etc. One excellent option and opportunity is a class being offered by Ken Fox of Blogini fame. This in only for the members of Blogini, but he is offering to mentor us in creating an internet business.

I could go on and on, but I’ll leave some for future posts. I wish the best to everyone in their online ventures!

P.S. Check out my Squidoo Lens! It needs a little more work, and that’s my focus for tomorrow…”

Wow, there’s another recommended upgrade for WordPress already. Looks like this one might just take a few minutes. It’s on my list for tomorrow.

Got my 2nd adsense site built today based on the process taught by my adsense coach. That means I also go my second batch of articles back from my writer. She did a really good job again, but the topic is so dry. Do people really search for information on that topic? I guess so. Maybe I’ll stick to niches that I am more interested in personally, just to make the process more enjoyable.

I purchased a WSO (Warrior Special Offer) on the Warrior Forum a short time ago that promises a technique to draw backlinks and traffic. I’ve read it over a couple times and it’s very creative and something I would never in a million years have thought of. I plan to implement it tomorrow. I’ll let you know what the results look like.

Lots of updates coming soon with Blogini. Ken Fox was describing some of his plans last night on a training call. It’ll be an incredible program for anyone doing any marketing on the internet. I’ll keep you posted on that too.

That’s all for now.
