What is happening in your internet life?

[Joan]

Let's use this forum spot just to catch up with everybody! This ning has gotten really quiet. Let's stir up some excitement. Tell us what is going on with you and your business. Are you reaching your goals? What is your latest marketing discovery on line? I am still marketing Banish the Blahs and Be Happy! Success rate is moving up.

I'd love to see some tips on marketing on facebook and twitter. is anybody doing that? do you have a squidoo lens? share that site with us, too. I am studying squidoo lenses right now and would love to see yours!

Hi Joan-

How's it going? How's the book selling? I saw this post just before I went on vacation but am just now replying. I spent a beautiful week down in Cozumel soaking up the sun and over eating and drinking. I'm surprised that no one else has responded.

I have a couple new websites online. I am trying a deal where you get premade sites and customize them to your domain name. They are http://www.LoanAnswersExpert.com/ and http://www.SkinCareExpertise.com/ I just need to build up some traffic for them now.

My pool sites are still going strong. http://www.pool-and-pocket-billiards-resource.com/ is getting pretty good traffic. http://www.pool-for-beginners.com/ is almost done and is beginning to pick up too.

I made a few Squidoo lenses quite a while back. I didn't put much effort into them, and they don't seem to do much for my traffic. I need to update them more often to get them up in the traffic rankings. They are - http://www.squidoo.com/make_a_web_site, http://www.squidoo.com/pool_and_pocket_billiards_resource, http://www.squidoo.com/pool_tables

I was on Allexperts.com for a while answering people's questions about pool and billiards. It brought in some traffic but got to be a hassle answering those questions every day so I dropped it. I have some articles on http://www.ezinearticles.com/ that bring a little traffic. From what I am reading, I have to do a lot more article submitting and my traffic will improve.

I'm still thinking about writing a couple ebooks. I have enough material on my sites. I just need to actually sit down and do it. I still haven't got a list going yet either, but that is coming as well. My focus right now is finishing my Beginner's site and building my traffic way up. I'm making a couple bucks with Google ads but nothing to brag about yet.

I'm still working it Joan and it will pay off eventually! Good luck on your ventures.

Hi Ernie! Thank you for responding. I was surprised that no one responded at all, so was really happy to see your update! Yes, definitely write at least one book. I am glad I did mine. and I am glad I have my little freebie workbook. but i have now totally revamped everything. :)
I have gone nuts on squidoo! I have 5 lenses in the last week and 2 more in the working stage and plans for 100 before Christmas 2008. I am convinced this is a less expensive way to go, I like free. It is something I can do by myself and the website stuff was driving me nuts. so I am focusing on 2 blogs and squidoo................almost completely.

here are my lenses:
http://www.squidoo.com/getajobnow
http://www.squidoo.com/hemifacialspasm
http://www.squidoo.com/amazingchildren
http://www.squidoo.com/beattheblues
http://www.squidoo.com/tenbyten

and this is my ratings after this morning -- so you can see, I am moving up. the get a job one is the newest one.

Monday rating Tuesday rating
Tenbyten 383 - 331
Beat the blues 1918 - 1459
Children 7018 - 3532
hemifacial spasm 9465 - 9547
get a job 55,243 - 26,100

sounds like you have done all sorts of things like I have. I am just determined to find the best place for me to work, and with squidoo, I just lose myself for hours, loving that entire program. Joe says in the clearing CD, somethng like "don't ask what the world needs, find what makes you come alive and do that"..........well squidoo makes me come alive. for sure. so I think I have found it. I sure hope so.

going now to visit your lenses..............if you get back into that, i have found lots of great squidoo info for free on the lenses and in the forum -- which is fantastic!!! let me know if you are looking for something in particular. I may be able to help.

Nice lenses Joan!

[Joan]

I visited one of your lenses, favorited, etc, and then got interrupted yesterday, so will return today and see the others. the one i saw was about developing a web page. good info there for sure!

Hi all--Just passing through today and wanted to see what everyone is up to.

Yep, love those lenses--I

Here are mine, as of today:


http://www.squidoo.com/Misogyny
http://www.squidoo.com/MyGrandmother
http://www.squidoo.com/WomenAchievers
http://www.squidoo.com/mediabiassuppressesvotes
http://www.squidoo.com/HB1660
http://www.squidoo.com/thinkriches
http://www.squidoo.com/katelovingshenk
http://www.squidoo.com/LeavingTheDemocraticParty

Think it's time to move beyond politics, however--but found that creating these political lenses allowed me to vent some frustration.

Peace (of mind)

I really liked your Napolean Hill Lens Kate. I have his book in the house somewhere and I'll have to dig it out and read it again.

I'll pass on the politics and the women's issues....

[Joan]

[Kate Loving Shenk]

Thanks to you both!!
