Wealthy Affiliate Member - Grumpy!
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on April 1st, 2009
Hello,
Somewhat grumpy today because I have made five squidoo lenses - details below - and despite my blogging and linking and writing articles they seem to be failing to be recognised by Google. I wrote them a few days ago - Friday I believe - and they are not recognised, even when I put in the whole URL in “”‘’s.
Well despite that my site, http://www.homebusinessforretirees-review.com is doing well. There have been quite a few clicks, I have them all analysed with a tool called my-linker. It’s free with Wealthy Affiliate and I am so pleased with it. It totally cloaks the links, which is great and will help me a great deal, but also it keeps track of all the clicks and the days they are clicked on etc etc. I haven’t had full use of the linker yet but I will be letting you all know!
As I mentioned before I built the site in Site Rubix, which again is part of the Wealthy Affiliate package. If you click on the Site Rubix there, it will take you to a demonstration of Site Rubix as part of the introduction to Wealthy Affiliate. So you can take a look around and see what you think. I can tell you that my knowledge of html is pretty minimal and I am pleased that even though that is the case I can still make a site that, at least to me, looks pretty good.
Anyway, I have three more articles to write today - I am putting them off because I am tired, which is very naughty - so I really must get on.
I will be spending a few days decorating my sons bedroom, we are all big Dr Who fans in our house and he is having Dr Who posters, curtains, bedspreads, light……….you get the picture! My brother is taking him to a Dr Who exhibition on the weekend so we want to get the basics done before then, and put up the bulk of the Dr Who stuff when he is out, so it is all Dr Who-ish when he gets back! Not sure who is more excited, me or him!LOL
Have a good few days,
Best wishes,
Ruth

Wealthy Affiliate Member - feeling frustrated!
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on March 25th, 2009
Hi Guys!
Well I promised a site made in Site Rubix at Wealthy Affiliate. And I have made a website with Site Rubix! But I am frustrated because although I pointed the domain to the free hosting at Wealthy Affiliate it hasn’t connected yet. NameCheap.com, who I use for my domains quite often, says that it can take up to 72 hours! So although I would love to give you the address of my website - sadly there is no point as yet. You can be sure though, that as soon as I get it all sorted there will be an addess for you to go and visit, and let me know what you think.
The difference between a goal
and a dream is the written word.
-Gene Donohue
So this week I am on week five of the eight week action plan. It is focusing on setting goals for ourselves, which many people consider essential. I would agree - since I have goals that are written down it is much easier to focus on what to do to get the results I need. I am not that great at focusing and seeing things through, but I have found I improve when my personal and professional goals are written down for me to see.
This week also we are looking at how to organize a complete campaign, whether we are using free, article marketing methods, or PPC (pay per click) methods. I am somewhat intrigued by pay-per-click methods, but it is better to focus on one or the other, and at the moment I am happy with my quiet progess with article marketing. This eight week period ( or thereabouts) is really for me a learning curve, and I am really not looking for a huge amount of sales during this period. Most people seem to get their first sale during week six, but I think I have to do the whole plan before I can really start making serious profits. I keep in mind this saying:
“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in, except to the convictions of honor and good sense.” Winston Churchill - October 27 1941.
I keep that on my wall in front of my desk, along with thank you cards from friends and clients, and photos and drawings from the kids. It keeps me on the straight and narrow!
Anyway, thanks for reading, and if I can do anything to help you regarding marketing or any other matter, just let me know!
Best wishes,
Ruth
Wealthy Affiliate Member Still!
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on March 12th, 2009
Hello,
Yes, I am still around. I have been away for a week at Mothers, so no possibility of getting any significant work done there. I am still learning loads at Wealthy Affiliate and really enjoying my time there. I am still learning so much, and I am thinking about offering my new found skills to local businesses.
I think my experience of getting my squidoo lenses ranking pretty highly in Google, especially in a quite competitive arena, will help me be able to get most local businesses ranking highly, plus now my website building skills are rapidly improving, I could offer a good service all round.
I have Wealthy Affiliate to thank for this new found knowledge, and I am pleased to say it has been a huge eye-opener to me. I believe that, although I have not made huge amounts of money yet, it will come. Although I have been at Wealthy Affiliate for four weeks now, only three of them have been spent working (because of visiting Mothers) but by the time I have reached the end of the course, then I will be well on my way to earning a good income online.
If you would like to have a look at my squidoo lenses, here are the links:

http://www.squidoo.com/Wealthy-Affiliate-a-successful-marketing-plan-for-business
http://www.squidoo.com/Marketing-Mums-List-Building-Ladies-
and finally, my pet lens (not to do with Wealthy Affiliate)
http://www.squidoo.com/good-pet-stuff-for-kids
So they are my squidoo lenses, please feel free to let me know what you think of them.
I am not going to be doing much on Wealthy Affiliate for the next four days, because on Tuesday I have my theory driving test! I am pretty nervous and I will be studying like mad for it. I am so hoping to pass it and then pass my driving test. I even have a car sitting on the road next to my house, so I have something to drive as well.
I hope all my readers are doing well with whatever they are planning, as ever feel free to drop me a message if you think I can help in any way.
All the best,
Ruth
