I keep fighting it, but I can't help but thinking there is some big secret I do not know about.  I know that is not true, but it just seems there are so many little things you have to learn  that everyone says are easy to do, " Just go and sign up here and there, and don't forget to do these other things." Easier said than done because I don't know how to even start learning about them! There is ALWAYS a glitch somewhere, some little piece of information I need and do not have.

All these different hoops you have to jump through for backlinks is the perfect example -- I am not really sure what half that stuff is-- or exactly how to post there--- and the directions are always written like it is an everyday thing I should know about!

I have the basics down-- I can write articles, make blogs and Squidoo lenses and I even mastered Site Rubix!  I have been diligently working on the system I outlined, I need to write a new set of 20 article this week for the latest blog/squid test campaign. It is just about time to check my first blog and see if any traffic or sales came.

That scares me because then I need to learn Word Press and I still do not 100% get that. And I see from other WordPress blogs I will need to have all those little feed symbols included I do not know about, those places I was supposed to go sign up with for backlinks---- And I have learned to be wary any time someone says, "Don't worry, you will love Word Press,..."

I hesitate to put more sites on WA because if I do not start making money, I will not be able to afford to stay here another year, thus I will lose the free hosting.

I am taking the new course, so I can go back over everything and hopefully there will be a plan, do this first, then do that. I may even have to stop my other stuff and promote WA for awhile to get some commissions-- but I fear that will fall the same direction of everything else I try, following the step by step directions I get on here--- writing great articles and no sales.

I am making more money writing articles for people so they can earn commissions form their niche products, than I get from the articles I write for myself --GO FIGURE!!

So off I go, to write articles for this week-- lesson one in the new course is telling me to bug my friends and family with an email promoting WA-- I may have to think about that one-- but I am not allowed to go to step two unless I do it....

TTFN

May-be my goal is too low-- I only want to make $2-3 K a month--- that will supplement our retirement income perfectly---
