Hello!

I have made a few more lenses you may want to take a look at. At the moment I am thinking about paypal, so I have made a few lenses along these lines.

They are promoting some companies through an affiliate website. I am not going to tell you which one until I make sure they pay out ok, because I do not want to recommend something that is a dud. I do try and avoid that at all costs.

In my last post I mentioned a product which I completely trust to make money online. It really breaks the whole affiliate marketing down into super simple terms.With a bit of keyword research, this is a gold mine, and while I still wholeheartedly recommend Wealthy Affiliate, this product really goes along with it. It is called One Week Marketing, by PotPieGirl, and it is really excellent. Have a click and see how it looks to you.

This week I am putting  opt-in boxes on my lenses, and putting my sadly underused Aweber account to more productive use. It is silly to pay for a tool and not use it to it’s capacity.

I don’t know if you are wanting to build yourself a business online, as I do, but if you do I got a good piece of advice this week. As I have probably mentioned, when you join Wealthy Affiliate you get to contact Kyle and Carson, who are the mentors and founders of Wealthy Affiliate. They are excellent, and give answers within 24 hours, and none of this help desk stuff – no they answer the questions themselves. Personal, pertinent replies.

Anyway I had got somewhat miserable about how I was doing, I explained what I had done and how much I felt I had worked, and Kyle said to me: “If you had bought a franchise you would give it more than two months to start making a good income wouldn’t you?”  Of course, I had to agree. I started at Wealthy Affiliate on the 10th February. Now as you know I went to Mothers for a week during that time, and had another week off for something else – I think when the children were ill. So how am I expecting to build a business in six weeks. Sounds silly doesn’t it?

So I need to remember to be patient with myself. I see the amount of visitors to my website slowly rising. I see my visitors to my lenses increasing. I know that soon, I will see more money coming in. I just need to keep building my funnels and eventually the money will start dripping down to me.

I added a quote to my wall this week. It comes from Cesar Milan, otherwise known as The Dog Whisperer. He was talking to a client and she said: “All right, I will try.”

Cesar replied: “Don’t try: Do.”

So, with that in mind, this week I am not just trying to build a business, I am taking action to build it. In other words, I will “Do.”

Best wishes,

Ruth
