Slowly Coming Back to Internet Marketing
I have had the hardest time getting motivated. I know about my lulls in attention to my hobbies, but I was hoping to stay focused. I had some interviews. I was very discouraged by today’s interview. But, today I did end up creating a squidoo lens, halloween frog costume. The whole idea of the page is to sell frog costumes to parents who want their kid to be Kermit the Frog or Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog. I was able to find some keywords that might work. I created two articles today for the frog website to help it move to the top. I also created three blog posts. I’m not sure what I’ll do next with it. Creating backlinks gets a little tedious and I don’t always see it translate into traffic to my squidoo lenses. I am sticking with the Halloween theme for now. It will be really nice when October gets here and people actually start purchasing Halloween costumes. Until then, I guess I just have to keep making lenses and creating links to them.

It can be difficult to get started internet marketing because you aren’t going to make sales immediately. You need to learn the ropes and determine how to direct traffic to your websites. I have struggled to stay motivated. It may not be the best thing for me because with my hobbies, I usually keep them for a couple months and then take a break from them fr a couple months. And it seems... [Read Full Post]
Ok…I definitely neglected the blog
It actually does make a difference. No one signs up for your free course when you quit promoting it and go on vacation. Ugh! But, no work, no reward. I actually created a squidoo link today to promote back to school supplies for 2010. I found a great website on commission junction that I was able to add to it as well as some amazon products. I need to start promoting the site so that people... [Read Full Post]
Slowly but surely
I’m slowly but surely getting back into internet marketing. It is really frustrating sometimes. I feel like I struggle to get my Squidoo lenses to google’s first page. I have a few on the first page of Google, but others are way down on the fourth page and I’ve got links going to them and articles about them. Today, I was able to get my pages bookmarked. Most of my squidoo... [Read Full Post]
Finally! I’m Back!
I created two new Squidoo lenses today and linked them to a couple blogs and created articles for them! The lenses are mask clown and Halloween clown. I had to do a little bit of research today to help me identify the keywords that were high volume and low competition. I also had to put together these two lenses and start driving traffic to them by linking them on my blogs, etc. So far, one person... [Read Full Post]
Too Disappointed to do Marketing today.
This is a really lame post. I am posting today because it is a good habit to be in. However, I didn’t get the job that I interviewed for this week and that was pretty depressing. I obsessed over it today. Luckily, I know that they made their decision today, and since I didn’t get called, that means they hired someone else. It is probably all for the best. But, I didn’t do any... [Read Full Post]
Losing Motivation!
I have been job hunting and neglecting my internet marketing. I created a whole bunch of Squidoo lenses for Halloween, but let’s face it, I won’t even start getting Halloween traffic until October! That is months away. The good thing about that is that there is plenty of time to create backlinks to my websites. The downside is that I don’t receive much traffic to my sites yet....

Creating More Squidoo lenses
I’m getting better at my squidoo lenses. I discovered different ways to display the amazon products and have been locating keyword phrases to promote the websites. I have been writing blog posts and having linkvana post them. I only have the linkvana subscription for three more days. I do not think that I will be renewing it as my blogs have yet to receive a substantial amount of traffic.... [Read Full Post]
Made some Squidoo lenses today!
It seems like you rank better with your squidoo lens when your traffic to it increases. The only way to get better at creating Squidoo lenses is to keep making them. I made three of them today based on the Halloween theme. It was very easy and I figured out how to feature products differently than simply one at a time. I got the thumbnail thing going on. I did use some blogposting with linkvana... [Read Full Post]
Linkvana provides exposure
I wrote so many posts yesterday for linkvana. I have about 23 squidoo lenses that are live and I found it a lot easier to write 100-200 word posts and get my link out there than to submit to the article directory 300-500 word articles that followed their guidelines. I’m not convinced that it is worth the money though. I received in my inbox another, cheaper service that I may try out. We’ll... [Read Full Post]
