My tips to keep myself motivated with online affiliate marketing   First blog to profit from my brand new motivation!   As said in my latest post, I got my motivation back again.  I could get motivated with my online affiliate marketing business thanks to an online pal who posted something about a class on sale. After a bit of reflexion, I purchased the class and started

Lost mojo, no inspiration, hard times What have I been up to? Well, nothing really. In this case, you might object that I've been up to something. And I'd confirm that I was up to nothing at all. Not all actually, but not much. So I didn't do a lot of work these past months.  Also when I join my partner in his country, I just don't have any will to work, not even the will to turn the

Easy Product Displays new features It's been a while since I posted on this blog. To be honest, there is nothing really new worth talking about in my marketing world. HubPages is slowly sinking - at least it's how it looks.  I moved some Hubs over to Wizzley but without any real hope for the pages to be safe, since Google's shaking the site ranks and even its existence once again.

My unfeatured HubPage was moved to WebNuggetz yesterday   Since the quality of my work is not good enough to HP, it's got moved else where. Actually, what I did is delete a similar page on my own site and pasted the former Hub instead. The deleted page was entirely reworked (rewriting all texts and missing products replaced) and posted on WebNuggetz. This is because the Hub was too

Spammy Hubs So early this morning (I'm in Europe so evening for you is morning for me) I've received my first notice for a hub unpublished for quality reason. Hm... the title was "friendly" - "A Friendly Heads Up: Your Hub Could be Featured!" Er... my hub WAS featured yesterday. Let's read (portions of) this email.

Easy Product Displays Search Feature My favorite affiliate product display tool is what I'm going to talk about. It is not Squidoo or HubPages related. It's an entirely different subject. Yet it is the perfect tool for those who plan on leaving HubPages for greener pastures (hear: their very own site or a platform that allows page personalization). How to display products on a page

So early September, my 36 remaining lenses moved to HubPages. As the announcement stated, HubPages is now the largest site of its kind. However that doesn't mean that former lenses get as much traffic as they deserve and used to get.  HubPages traffic is dismal... When former lenses turned into Hubs, traffic was not a big problem as they generated the same traffic rate as on Squidoo. For

Squidoo to HubPages Transfer Never again will I see this ugly monster How glad am I for having deleted most of my remaining lenses before the transfer! This will enable me to repurpose all those lenses and possibly keep away from both HubPages and Squidoo - or at least what remains from Squidoo. My transfered lenses are now fixed - all but two of which I don't know what to do. The

7 years on Squidoo now a Hubber 34 lenses moved from Squidoo to HubPages on 8th September So my 34 remaining lenses finally became Hubs this 8th September 2014 for my greatest pleasure. As indeed, it's pleasure to see those lenses getting their fair share of traffic. And it is an even greater pleasure to edit them and turn these pages into Hubs. Like many Hubbers I was quite surprised to

RIP SquidU our in-house archiveImage: courtesy of Squidoodles The end of Squidoo was announced on Friday the 15th August 2014 and since then, lots and lots of articles popped up almost everywhere on the Internet. Most soon-to-be former Squids need to vent, to make assumptions as to why Squidoo is closing, whether the process is legal or not, etc.  From the average Squid who never really

Today is the 25th August 2014 and is supposed to be the day of the great big move from Squidoo to HubPages. At least it is what I have been told when I clicked on that big green button in my Squidoo account.  Editing feature was canceled on the 23rd August and the transfer was supposed to begin today. I don't know if they are ready to start the process, in any way, I am ready for it and

I am late at the Squidoo farewell party guys! I should have posted about the company closing business sooner but did not.  I kept silent.  Not because I feared any kind of vengence from someone on there because of my writings. Not because I did not have anything to say.  Just because I did not feel the need to post or vent about the event that I predicted long ago and knew

WOT is an online site that enables itself to rate other sites online. Where this right does come from? They act a bit like the Internet police, rate sites as harmful or suspicious or good or bad... Though it shouldn't. Actually I wonder if they have any official authorization to act that way. Anyways, it's not the purpose of this post. How do WOT ratings look But I'm going to illustrate

Show me the money! It was payday on Squidoo a few days ago. In my case, nothing to be worth speaking about since I haven't been paid: money owed stored in my reserve hopper. I'll get my payout next month since this one was a few cents below the new $25 min amount required to be paid. Also I'm one of the few lucky ones who got a blueblox although no payment. And I presume this is because I've

Hi there, I hope everything's all right with you and your Squidoo or any other affiliate marketing endeavours. Although I still log into my dashboard on an everyday basis, I currently focus on my own sites. I'm not optimistic about my lenses' traffic and performance, so this explains that. Last week I posted two of my sites for sale so as to be able to focus on broader ones that would include

Home alone, because of child gone on holidays without Mom, I woke up bored. What am I going to do today? Since the Google disaster that hit my Squidoo account and my sites later on, I am not really enjoying my online job. There are days that I just write one article or do a little promotion through social medias. Though I was very active before mid-2013. A little gift turns my day into

Besides the new lens threshold, Squidoo has implemented a new payout limit. As of now, if your account has not reached a minimum of $25 you will not be able to requets payment. For those that have hard times driving traffic and, therefore sales to their account it means a lot. It actually means that it will take ages for them to see their money. How is the new payout limit going to affect

Squidoo is millions useful pages... Squidoo introduced two new policies this past week. Not actually policies... Let's say that they introduced two new features to all lensmasters. Today I am going to talk through the second one as it affects all lenses and all lensmasters all at once. What is going on right now? Starting yesterday, the number of featured lenses will be reduced to 175,000

My strawberries - don't copy or download. Thanks. I'm not accustomed to promote things on my blog but have to admit that this time, I found something that I literaly fell in love with as soon as I saw it. As said in some posts during my ebook publishing short guide a few weeks ago, recipes and crafts rock on the Internet. Blogs about cooking, dieting, healthy eating and about DIY stuff

I'm back from my break abroad. Weather was splendid, compared to weather in my area, it was a relief: I saw and felt the warm sunlights, I could swim in the wonderful turquoise sea, I could tan on the superb white sand beaches.  All in all, even though the partner wasn't always of the best humor - he now is responsible for more business tasks, especially the one of the car we rent to

I'm almost gone. In a few hours I'll be flying to my partner's country where I'm going to spend a few weeks. It's a sunny area. However, it may be one of the last times I can get to there since my Squidoo traffic dropped like a stone along with matching earnings.  If you have read my previous post you know that I had to change my lenses primary keywords so as to match the lens topics

Because I was not really active on Squidoo these past months, I realized recently that I missed a few things that would help my lenses to be found. Eh... Since the new dashboard design, I never thought of the keywords and other settings available in our backoffice. It was brought to my attention by a lensmaster/friend who is expert in SEO and driving traffic to lenses. I want to thank her
