Jennifer Lopez And Multiple Streams Of Income

Visit Hunting Venus.com Work At Home Directory

What bad timing! I wish I'd watched Monster-In-Law before I published my article about multiple streams of income.

I never liked Jennifer Lopez until I saw her in a film a couple of weeks ago. What was it called? Dear oh dear, are the grey cells wearing out? I think it might have been called Shall We Dance, anyway, JLo starred in it with Richard Gere and it was about a middle aged man learning to dance. Doesn't sound like much but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I thought JLo was good - and I would not have watched the film if I'd known she was going to be in it!

Having warmed slightly to Jennifer Lopez, I decided to watch Monster-In-Law. Now I wish I'd watched it a few weeks earlier. Jennifer Lopez's character was a dog walker and a yoga instructor - multiple streams of income! I could have used this in my article as an example people would relate to so easily.

Any other big movies out there that relate to Internet marketing?

Long Sales Letters And More Success

Visit Hunting Venus.com Work At Home Directory
Busy, busy month so far.

Today I finished two new articles and posted them on my website. The first one, How Unique And Believable Is Your Website Copy, has been submitted for publication and I'm hoping to add a couple more to the queue after : Does Your Sales Letter Make Sense. As usual, these began life as one article, branched of into two different directions and still ended up in the 1000 word region which is pushing the limit. If only I could learn to use fewer words! I did consider cutting each one into two again but there was no natural break and there was only one subject.

These articles are about the new-fashioned long sales letters so many website owners are using. I am all for them but too many people are using identical stories with only very minor changes. I can' imagine many people will be falling for these ads in a few months because the Internet will be overrun with clones (probably down to the typos as well).

Profits and traffic have been strangely up and down after an absolutely brilliant start to the month but, as long as I stay in profit mode I'll be happy. Most of my time has been spent setting up campaigns with search engines. The ppc with Overture has been the worst mainly because I can't use Firefox there and it loads terribly slowly in IE or Crazy Browser. It was almost like hard work for a while because it is so boring. Now I am in the middle of setting up a campaign with MSN but took a day off to rebuild my index page in stacked tables. Today I must go back to the boring job of loading in keywords and making up ads.

One day I'll look back at this and smile but, for now I'm sick of messing around with keywords and can't wait to get back to finish my new set up and then I can get on with designing my new website. Oh well, boring stuff first, I need the traffic.

A young chap on our forum started advertising his website for the first time yesterday and had $70 in sales. He was wildly excited - I would have been too if my first day had gone like that. I think he started straight into ppc but I started out with ads on other sites so my start was slower. It's nice to see people succeed, not just because it's further evidence that our programme works, but for the sake of sharing the happiness of others.

Oh well, sales need traffic; traffic requires advertising, so I'm off to visit MSN with another bunch of keywords.

Multiple Streams Of Income And The Internet Fairy

Visit Hunting Venus.com Work At Home Directory
Back on track. Published another article today called Multiple Streams Of Income And The Internet Fairy.

August has been a good month so far. It's been so good, I am beginning to relax and accept it as a trend instead of fearing it's just a fluke. Sunday was my best day for profit in all time. It's too early for the back to school phase to be starting, so I'm as sure as I can be that all the activity is due to the increased advertising. Definitely going to keep that up.

Must also get a new monthly newsletter out. It's been on hold for about three months since I went on holiday and had all the health problems.

Must keep on track and make sure I publish an article every 3-4 days until I use up my credits and then I can go back to one per week. Only slight problem is that I want to build two new websites and if I get started, I won't stop and write.

I have been good though - this month I wrote a new series of email newsletters. I hope they will help some newbies find their way into working at home.

Baby Sign Language And Christmas Is Coming

Visit Hunting Venus.com Work At Home Directory
Only up to day 10 but August has been a record month so far. I've made more profit in those 10 days than I made in the whole of July (which was a completely crap month). Everything seems to have speeded up and I have never had so many visitors to my website. I was determined to make a success of this venture and the hard work seems to be paying off.

I'm so happy, I don't even feel like having a rant about the fact that Harrods, the UK's biggest and most prestigious department store, has already launched its Christmas range! Oh please, can't someone get Christmas put back in December where it belongs. How can we seriously be motivated to spend a fortune by snow scenes and cheery robins when we are in the middle of a heat wave!

Anyway, I just published a new article, called A Rewarding Home Business - Teaching Baby Sign Language. It was inspired by my beautiful granddaughter. She never cries unless she is seriously upset for some reason and is great at communicating via gestures and noises even though she can only speak a handful of real words. On one particular day, I just couldn't find out what was wrong with her; she ended up howling and I felt like crying as well. I realised after that how valuable baby sign-language can be and what a great home business it can be for mothers who want to work part time from home. Still way behind on the article publishing but there are a couple of others in the pipeline. Trouble is, I can't write to order, I need to be inspired and interested in a subject before even thinking of sharing it with anyone else.

Today I am going to avoid the inevitable distractions and focus on my next big project: a new work at home tips newsletter. I think two years experience is long enough to give me credibility and I've made enough mistakes that are worth sharing with "do not go there" labels attached. Glad it's a bit cooler today, makes thinking easier.

A Quiet Month And Toothache

Visit Hunting Venus.com Work At Home Directory
What happened to July? From a business point of view it was almost a complete waste of time. Profits dropped through the floor and I started to wonder if I had accidentally checked a "no publicity" box somewhere along the line. The only positive thing to come out of July's doldrums was that it allowed me extra time to tweak advertising and work on adding things to my websites - there's never enough time to do those things.

July was a rotten month for several reasons but I've tried to squeeze something positive out of each experience. The first thing was, as I said, the absence of profits and, apparently, interest in online business. July is always known to be a bad month but this year it truly was the pits! Time to work at my writing and on stuff for the websites is very valuable and they are my favourite parts of my work at home business.

The other thing was that I had to have a tooth extracted. That's not a favourite pastime for anyone that I've ever heard of . The idea of going to the dentist just fills me with horror. Anyone who grew up in the UK in the 1960's and had to attend the "school dentist" will understand why: "butchers" is the most often used description for them. I have a theory that these monsters were all psychopaths who had discovered a legal way of getting paid to hurt people. Parents would warn their children not to show fear because, if they did, the dentist would be even harder on them. After a few painful experiences, I could not hide the fear, so maybe that's why I suffered so much. Perhaps I was just unlucky - last time I had a tooth out (only about five years ago), the anaesthetic didn't work (the dentist said that was because there was an infection present) and it was a horrible agonising experience. You can guess how much was I looking forward to a repeat (yup, once again there was an infection) but my new dentist was amazing: as soon as I felt pain, she stopped pulling and gave me some more injections. The second lot of injections worked and it was all over in seconds with no further pain.

How on earth did I wander so far off topic? I'll leave all this in, even if it is not much to do with working at home - one day I'll look back at this and smile (maybe).

Anyway, the positive thing about that little episode was that the earache stopped and I can hear again so I can stop worrying that I had some terrible disease.

The rest of July was spent trying to keep cool. It was impossible! Any blog from me in July would have been one long moan about the weather.

The schools round here broke up for the long summer break towards the end of July During the same week I went to the supermarket and discovered a big new promotion: "back to school". The same week the vacation started? If things keep on at this rate everyone will be advertising "back to school" stuff before the summer break starts. When will they start advertising Christmas? I shudder to think!

It's only the 5th but, so far August has brought me my best two consecutive days of profit since April. I'm feeling optimistic again!
