Got some great tips from the Squidoo/Bum Marketing report I read last night. Seems as if all the little ebooks I pick up have at least one gem that makes it totally worth the cost. This one had more than one. This writer recommends building dozens of small Squidoo sites. I think I’ll finish the one I started and implement some of the tips I’ve picked up before I move on to others.

Got a good start on my next adsense website tonight. I’ll have a new lesson from my adsense coach waiting for me tomorrow. This one deals with promoting the sites. I think it’s mostly about building links and she covers a couple ways. I know a couple other ways, and I’ll pursue those too. Then cross my fingers and hope for traffic and ranking? I’d like to feel much more certain of success than that.

I’ve been playing with a headline analysis tool as I prepare the articles for my website. It’s at www.aminstitute.com/headline. Check it out sometime if you’d like some feedback on your headlines.

That’s it for now…

Today I learned of a system called 5 Bucks a Day. I guess it’s basically an ebook that outlines a system for getting focused in your work and spending less time on the busy work. I plan to read it tonight and will report back on it’s value. I learned of it through the Keyword Avalanche forum, where a couple of members recommended it very highly. I’d love to be better focused and accomplish more.

Also got my hands on a WSO about BUM Marketing incorporating Squidoo. That should be helpful. I like Squidoo. What a fun design and the word is that it’s really in it’s infancy and ready to take off. Time to get in now and get good at creating lenses.

My first Squidoo lens is still in progress. I got a little derailed when I learned I would not be able to include a module a I felt really excited about. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense, but it’s best if I leave it at that. I want to make the page fun and I’m working on figuring out a new approach.

Got another set of articles back from my writer. Very exciting. Time to build another adsense site. That’ll be easy with XSitePro.

Saw a movie tonight, “Notes on a Scandal” with Judi Dench. Wow, very intense! Superb acting.

That’s it for tonight. Have a good one.

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…”

Spent some time today re-creating an adsense site in XSitePro. NVU failed for me too many times and I kept having to redo work. Not cool, so I moved to XSP and got it done with enhancements in no time.

I’d love to improve my skills and knowledge with html, so I think I’ll still check out 1stPage2006 and/or Joomla. Seems like overall my work would be easier if could just create a bunch of html without having to look everything up, no matter what program I use. I really like Orwell Pro, and that’s one program where a little more html skill would be a great help.

Orwell Pro assists in finding content and uploading it to WordPress or XSitePro sites. I especially like it when I use the Article Underground announcer blogs. I can easily fill in a couple details and upload snippets to the blogs from one “control panel” on my desktop. Saves tons of time, and voila! I have PR4 or PR5 links to my sites. No html is really necessary to use Orwell Pro, but a little bit of knowledge is helpful.

I’m also appreciating Orwell Pro for locating and uploading articles for my YellowDogMarketing website. Really makes it easy. That site is definitely a work in progress.

I’m coming across a ton of really good information on Squidoo. Ray LaFoy puts out a newsletter I really like, and in this week’s edition he outlines steps to take to get a quality lens up and going on Squidoo. Very helpful.

That’s all for now.

Everything was sailing along today and then a glitch tonight. I hate it when that happens! I just sent out an email to a list before I tested the links, and they did not work. No amount of troubleshooting helped. Oh well, that one was wasted!

I played with Squidoo today. Got a lens started. It should be here. I’ll do a bunch more reading about Squidoo and plan to do a good job with the lens and add some others as well. My first lens is about, of course, Boy Million. I understand that Squidoo is a great source of targeted traffic rather than much of a money maker in itself. You build a lens to talk about a particular topic and send traffic to your other sites through the links you include. Probably simplifying a bit, but that’s the gist of it. I also understand Squidoo is more populated by older adults and less so by teens and twenty-somethings like MySpace. I’ve got a start, that’s cool.

There’s a very very wonderful video on www.squidoo.com/goldenretrievers/ .  Scroll about half-way down the page and there’s a YouTube video.  I laughed and cried, but I absolutely adore dogs.  It’s only about 2 minutes and I think well worth the time.

That’s it for now!
