I just completed my second website on Weebly.  The first one didn't go over so well with the article submission sites.  I am promoting the Wealthy Affiliate Super affiliate program, and I thought since surveys were a very popular search term, that I would try to promote that way.  I don't know if it was the term "surveys" or "scams" that caused Squidoo and Ezine Articles not to accept my articles relating to that website.  I couldn't even ge

It's been a while since I last posted on my blog.  I took several weeks off from WA to better manage my hectic life and I started a new class (weight training to get in shape).  Despite not being active on the My WA space, I have been actively working WA.  I finally got my website up on weebly.com and have written articles to promote it.  I'm just trying to get these articles submitted, but Squidoo and Ezine articles are not accepting the article

Monday was a busy day for me.  Wasn't able to set up a website like I intended.  I got called in to cover another coworker's shift due to illness.  Other things kept coming up preventing me from staying home.  It was a very odd day for me, I'm usually a home body.  Anyway, yesterday I edited my content.  I'm still not satisfied with it, but it will do for now.  Today I decided to go with Weebly and I set it up.  I haven't published it yet.  I'm still
I wrote a long copy that I intend to place on my first landing page when I get a website up & running.  I just need to clean up the wording.  I may even shorten it, I tend to say too much.  It's just over 2.5 pages long in a word document. I have some great ideas for other landing pages, I was taking notes while I was writing today.  I really enjoy the act of writing and feel more comfortable about writing articles which only helped me in writing copy for the intended we

January was a tough month for my family and me, but I’m doing a lot better now.  I’m feeling more energetic and focused.  I appreciate all those who have expressed their concern and offered encouraging words.  Thank you again.  It’s been a while since I’ve been making regular posts.  The drop in my member rank is proof of that.  I didn’t want to post again until I had made significant progress.  I’m a little embarrassed by my slow progress, but I

After months of being a part of WA, I finally came up with a definite niche.  I was already planning to promote WA, but I wanted another niche.  With this one I can include WA.  I hadn't been submitting articles to Squidoo lately because they blocked my last article.  This new niche isn't directly promoting an affiliate program, so I should be able to get some more articles completed.  I'm a little rusty, haven't written an article in a few weeks.  Still going at s

I'm still working with WA, just not overtly.   Haven't made any posts in a while.  Had a hard couple of weeks with my family situation, but starting to get back into my normal routine.  I hope everyone is doing well.

I've been away from WA for a few days.  My stepfather who helped raise my sister and I since I was 7 died early Saturday morning.  It's been a very difficult few days.  He had been sick for about 9 years, but started rapidly declining the past couple of months.  I've been helping my mother.  I should be able to get back to working seriously on WA next week.  In the meantime, I will read posts and respond to any posts I receive.

Despite my email defending my article of spam claims from Squidoo, Squidoo has decided to keep the article locked.  I believe it may have been because I used words such as "work at home", "affiliate marketing", etc., words that are used in a lot of spam.  I'll make sure I avoid such words next time. By the way, I've tried to post this twice & each time I hit save, it fails to post.  My internet connection seems to be fine.  Here's hoping it posts this

Last night (which was actually the wee hours of this morning, I'm a night owl) I was in an ambitious mood.  I came up with a lot of niche ideas with the Google and WA Keyword Tools.  Before, I only found a few niches and it took me quite a bit of time to find those.  Last night I think I was thinking a little more deeper about different niches and started writing them down like crazy and found quite a few that had little competition, but definitely had audiences.  This was my
