I am glad you posted your income. I believe, it inspires hope. It lets aspiring web entrepreneurs and new online marketers know what is possible.

I have yet to start afiliating as it scares the hell of out me.

I am so amazed at your income! And truly happy for you! You have worked hard to get there I have followed you for about a year and you have made me LOVE Squidoo. I am just beginning to earn adsense on my lens for the first time since I am “refreshing” them as you teach in Squidoo Queen I. Looking forward to the new version and want to sign up as your affiliate to put that link on my WordPress blog:
http://dnaforyou.net Thank you for all of your warm and wonderful advice!

I like this new trend of showing what you are earning each month.. It’s inspiring to see how other people are making a great living on the internet. Keep up the good work and thanks for the encouragment.

Mick

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply.

I am waiting in great anticipation for the next part of the course. Thanks for all of your hard work

WordPress optimisation is harder than I first thought. I thought that it was already optimised for the search engines (doh!).

Do you (or any of your readers) know of an authoritive book on wordpress that shows how to set up a wordpress AND install the relevant plug-ins and optimise it.

I know it is a bit of a tall order but I really do want to get this right and start making money like you.

Thanks again

Gary

Thank you for you kind words. It’s always nice to hear people saying good things about you and what you are doing. Take care.

@Gary

The course is still on, but there has been a delay in pulling two or three people together all at once. I am half way through the next section and hope to have it finished within the next week – so keep an eye out for it arriving in your inbox.

This template was purchased specifically for this blog. I have several other blogs that just run off of templates from wordpress.org/themes. Some of these have to be modified slightly for search engines, personal feel etc. I am NOT technical and pay someone else to do this for me. Every time I think that I have a little knowledge – I break it! There are literally thousands of templates to choose from, free and paid. Look for one that suits your needs and then read this post by John Chow just to really confuse matters.

When you create a post you have the option at the end of the page to password protect your post – this is all well and good but it can cause a LOT of work when people start to email asking for the passwords etc. I think it’s standard on most wordpress templates.

Posting great content is the ONLY way to get sales. Once you have a blog that has lots of content that readers will find useful then you need to start getting traffic to it. Create posts that are helpful and not selling anything. Build trust with the readers and they will reward you when you recommend something to them. Keep your blog tight around your niche and write for the reader before the search engines.

Hope this helps, keep up the good work.

I always laugh when I see screen shots of peoples earnings saying that they just made 10 million in 24 hours. I hated posting my screenshots on this post, they are just too easy to tamper with (if you have the ability).

It certainly is possible to earn a huge amount of money in such a short space of time, but you would have to be established and have an amazingly responsive list. I know of several marketers who have had million dollar days – it didn’t just happen for them straight off. They had to work hard to get to that stage.

With such a good response to the post, I think that I will be posting these reports more regularly now so yes, it will be interesting to see how things change in time.

@ Michael

I’ll try and get back to your email once I have finished here. Each product to do with Squidoo is different and target different tactics. Lots of them I agree with and some I don’t – I’m sure that they would say the same about my products too.

@ Kim

Thanks Kim. It’s important to build multiple income streams online – You just never know when one might dry up! If your whole business is based around one product and one method, your whole business could be gone in minutes.

@ Bloggernoob

No problem – thanks for stopping by.

@ Frank

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I’m pleased to know that you are reading a few of the emails that I send.

@ Caroline

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to post. Hope you are feeling better, even if only a little. I look forward to hearing from you again more frequently as time goes by. Good luck and keep smiling.

I am one of those people who subscribes to too many lists.
I do not read everything that comes in.

But promising to reveal your income got me reading your email.
It is not the first time I have read your email though.

I found your income quite interesting. Not sure I will ever be
game to reveal mine.

Best regards.

Kims last blog post..Going beyond traditional Self-Help

Great to see you making money! Well done! I emailed you recently but have not had a reply. It would be interesting to get some insight into how you turned this around and if you can point others in the right direction. Also how your Squidoo product differs from say Tiffany Dow’s or Bob The Teachers version.

I think account “details” from someone like yourself is great..thedy seem more believable than the multi-million income you hear about from other marketers.

What I also love is the expense part of the info … its excellent to see that you spend money to make money.

It will be interesting to see those figures change over time as new and different areas of advertisment get brought in.

Many thanks

Dominic

I am very impressed (and jealous LOL).

No seriously, that is inspirational and very motivating for someboyd like me and I appreciate you sharing that information as it spurs me on.

I was faithfully following your course but it seemed to have come to an abrupt stop and I am itching for you to continue it please as I only have part of the puzzle and I have no doubt whatsoever that you can help all of us to achieve the kind of success that you are having.

I do have some questions if I may:
1) what kind of template are you using for this blog are there any templates that you particularly recommend?

2) How did you do the password thing that gives us access to the private pages?

3) Can you please explain how to effectively post on a blog? (This is how I have done mine: I make regular posts, in a non-salesy way by giving up to the date information for my niche. I make references to specific products or services that might be of interest to my readers. However I worry that I am giving them too many options. I really don’t know how to post effectively to get affiliate sales).

I can’t wait for you to restart your course as I am ALMOST there but desperately need your help for the final part of the puzzle.

Great stuff Kelly and thanks for sharing.

Gary
PS. Sorry that this is such a loooooooong post.

I like the way you are building an income online,
actually a business.

If you were a flash in the pan you would have been gone
long ago—you are the real deal!
Thanks!
Gods Blessings, Anthony

Sorry, I missed that last part.

It took me about two years to get to this stage. When I say this stage, I mean, the amount of hours I work to get these results. I’ve been online for over six years and the first two were a complete waste of time, or rather, I was wasting my time

I now know that I could increase the amount of hours that I work and increase my income along with it. For me though, my long term goal for this year is to increase my recurring income. With recurring income I know that the work that I do now will pay off for a long time to come.

It can be hard work and long hours at times but so long as it’s productive it’s worth it.

Hope this helps.

@Jamma

You are the one that does the hard work, I just pointed you in the right direction. Keep it up and you will soon be posting your own blog income reports.

@Glen

I’m glad that you are finding the blog inspirational and helpful. It’s good to know that what I do IS helping people. John Chow’s blog is literally FULL of great content and I really do think that it’s worth reading. Personally, I think that he is now in a position to be one of the very few marketers who could get away with such an ad heavy site – especially above the fold.

Like everything in life though, you will never be able to please all the people all the time. Not every person will be able to connect with every reader of their blog/site/lens etc so I totally respect the fact that you don’t find the blog appealing.

Let me know if I can help further.

@ Kim

The PLR comes with no restrictions. Sorry I should have made that clear.

You are able to do whatever you wish to do with it.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Glen

I really do hope that you will continue to post your reports each month as they are a real inspiration to myself and others I’m sure. It makes me feel totally lazy though when I see how much stuff you must do each week to be able to get such amazing returns.

Thanks for your help along the way, I couldn’t be doing it without you.
