I've been doing a lot of thinking recently regarding the right and wrong way to make money online. Depending on where you look the term Affiliate, Network, and Internet seem to be used interchangeably when related to the products being marketed online. Having been burned many times in the past by the "Guru" set it and forget it programs, I still keep finding myself getting confused by the right and wrong programs to promote. Based on my training here at WA, I know that I need to choose

In an effort to better build my business online, I started thinking about the role that Facebook plays in my marketing efforts. While I do have a personal FB page, I have avoided adding that link to the business social networking sites that I am a member of solely in an effort to keep my personal and business lives separate.  Currently I have my blog posting updates to my personal FB page, but I feel like I am harassing my friends with my product reviews, so most times I avoid posting infor

After reading Kyle's post earlier this morning about turning 30 etc, his mention of the top 3 common reasons for failure got me thinking.... Why haven't I gotten further along in building my business than I would have liked to? Why have all my marketing efforts come to a screeching halt?  Answer: Procrastination Having been a member here at WA for quite some time. I am more than well aware of the techniques that are required to achieve success, but for some reason I am afraid of putting a l

UPDATE:  Based on the comments that I got I now have a few more questions.  My lens contains links to the site that I am promoting.  Should the links instead be directed to a full blown site about something like "social networking" or is that too vague for the particular product I am trying to promote? Just trying to wrap my head around all this.    ---------------------------------------   I need some help/advice.  I just created a new Squidoo lens

After my post yesterday, I took it upon myself to start on the office. For the past 3 years there has been an ever growing pile of bank statements, bills etc on my husbands desk. Not that long ago we had been quite organized when it came to filing all our paperwork for the year, but somewhere along the way that organization got away from us. I was reminded about this last weekend when we visited HR Block for our taxes.  It wasn't until I went through that pile yesterday that I finally reali

I have been fighting this for awhile now. I successfully completed the 30 day article marketing club with Marcus and now my attention span seems to have gone out the window. For some reason my attention keeps getting drawn to everything else but what matters most, putting my time into research and adding new content to my site.   But instead I find myself wasting time. I have a room full of stuff in the basement that had originally been purchased to sell on eBay/Amazon, and in an effor

I've been a member here at WA for over a year and for some reason I have yet to get myself to the point of seeing results. For some reason work, life, pretty much anything seems to get in the way. I have been indirectly making excuses for myself for too long and it has to stop. I don't want to work 9-5 for the rest of my life and I know that WA is my path to get there but for some reason I inadvertently would use the stresses of life as a reason to not work on my goals.   In an effort

I've been a meber here at WA for quite some time now, but for some reason I keep feeling like I'm in neutral with no sales for the efforts that I have put in so far. I know this is the answer to all my money making goals, but for some reason I can't seem to dedicate the time thats required. Instead, I dabble here and there in other projects that bring me a few extra bucks, but nothing that actually brings me the residual income that I so desparately need. As of recent, my FT job in IT

Due to a recent high level of frustration with my current FT job, I started thinking about ways to build my Avon business. While my primary goal is to get more local customers, I would also like to increase the amount of traffic to my website. Customers from all over the US can order products from my website and with the help of a coupon code, get their order shipped to them free to their door. I have been kicking this idea around for awhile now and I know that article marketing may be th

I just finished updateing all the links on my landing pages so it is not blatanly obvious that they are affiliate links. I have a few existing articles out on places like ezine and ehow, but now I must tackle those and rework them using an actual keyword which I didn't do when I first started this some time last year. I would love feedback on my landing page(s). The main page is located at www.thesavvyproductreviewer.com . I hope to have my articles re-wr
