Bloggers trying to make a living online have to “Pay it Forward” that means they have to blog away creating postings never knowing whether what they are doing will ever earn them any money. Having no boss they have to find even more motivation than normal salaried workers, it is too easy for them to fritter their time away trawling the net “researching”.
I have been using Action Enforcer to help me with my lackluster days, I only really need it get going as I know once I get a few jobs completed my energy levels will increase. Action Enforcer encourages you to choose one task and then stick to it. It works because it’s very easy to use and becomes a kind of psychological supervisor setting you a self-defined deadline.
More and more working people whether home-workers or not have to be self-motivating have tasks that need completing but have no direct supervision just an expectation that work will be done. Students studying for distant examinations or writers with a delivery date may be months away are in the same boat. They become more and more anxious as time is frittered away. In all these cases Action Enforcer is a boon learn more by clicking here
One of my Success M ilestones was that I should make a sale or earn an affiliate fee every day. Well in October 2009 I finally managed this and had an exciting flurry of sales during the third week. What was nice was that I earned income from 12 separate income streams including one that I’d completely forgotten about. It does not yet add up to a “quit my job” income but is promising. The next success stage must be to have organic growth in sales month by month.
You may wonder why I’m disappointed well it’s taken me three years and I’ve tried so many things that success now tastes bitter-sweet like a marathon runner who flops across the line. Also I know I must not relax my efforts, must not let go of the momentum in fact I must work even harder.
I must thank Squidoo a lot for giving me confidence and teaching me so much about marketing ideas. Here’s my most popular lens Top Toys for Xmas which did zilch last Christmas but is roaring away this year! What’s great about Squidoo is that once you get the hang of creating successful lens it’s scalable and repeatable. Click here to join Squidoo for free here
I noticed from my stats that my two Xmas sites were getting traffic build-up quite early in the season, so ever since then I’ve been feeding them with updates and the traffics kept building. Now in previous years I’ve built a seasonal site but the time I’ve got it perfected I’ve missed the boat. This year my sites were already in place and all I had to do was apply the TLC (Tender Loving Care). So I’ll have to learn the lesson and start building my other seasonal sites now, seems quite shocking but now’s the time to create your Valentine and Easter sites!
Now today I think I’ve done a clever post on whether the “Xmas Toy Shortage” is an annual hoax which I’ve posted here at squidoo.com/TopToysforXmas

Well first thing nobody will sell you a good niche because if they knew one they would keep real quiet about it!
- You are having difficulty buying an item: so you think “So must other people”
- You listen to people on the bus or in the coffee shop complaining they can’t get a product or service any more!
- Spares for old technologies, eg cassette tapes that are no longer manufactured
- You are on vacation and notice a good product that’s not yet arrived in your country
- You Google and research keywords to see what people are searching
- You find and use a product you really love, one that you can promote with enthusiasm!
- Once you get the hang of spotting Niches you’ll see them everywhere!
Seek and ye shall find!!

Xmas is the peak time of the Internet ecommerce year so it’s vital to get your websites, PPC and SEO in place, you really can’t be too early, all the bricks and mortar stores will have already ordered for December. Of course nobody knows yet which toy or gift will go ballistic and be in short supply.
Anyway back to the strategy you probably haven’t touched these sites since last Xmas, so you need to freshen then up, check links, add blog entries, Google likes to see sites being updated, evolving over a long period.
Here are my two Xmas sites
Top Toys for Xmas 2009
and
What Toys are Hot for Xmas 2009
In fact I only remembered because I noticed traffic building for these two sites, which shows I had already missed the beginning of the wave. But thank heavens it’s not too late and determined effort will still provide results.
Merry Xmas!

Having created over 50 Lens on Squidoo I ‘m starting to get a feel of how to succeed and make a little money. Once again it’s the opposite of what you think, you have to create lens that genuinely interest you, provide information that you wish to share, you cannot fool Squidoo or Google for long. There is no hobby too obscure, so go ahead be creative and publish things close to your heart. Of course there are Squidoo and SEO tips that you can employ but in the end as usual “Content is King”. In any case Squidoo is gradually suppressing overtly commercial Lens. See my Lens here squidoo.com/thesuccess or go one better and join Squidoo for free here
Mild-mannered Martin Avis has a huge following in the UK with his Kick Start newsletter and now organizes regular London Lunches for Internet Marketers. These are usually held in the Strand Palace Hotel for a maximum of 30 people. People travel from Holland and Cyprus just to come. Many of the UK big names join these lunches. I attended today’s September meet and renewed acquaintance with Kevin Polley, and Pearson Brown and met Sarah Staar (note that I avoided Rising Star pun). In fact you don’t get time to meet everyone, but you always learn something new with these face to face meetings. I was telling everyone about a new tool I’m using to massively increase my productivity called Action Enforcer learn more by clicking here
