Got a Check Today....

I got my first affiliate check today thru my Survival Sites - it was for $45 which again is not much for some folks, but to me it is a sign that more is to follow. lol

I have been building my SBI site for a little over a month now and that more than pays for the first month so I figure I am on top of the game even this early IN the game. :)


I had a busy week so I need to go build a page tonight - just had to post that really quick for ya'll.

Been Looking at SBI??

I have been meaning to put this link on here sooner but with all my spare time being invested into building more pages for my SBI site - I kept forgetting it...

I know there are a number of my readers looking into SBI and trying to see if it is a good fit for them, but just like all of us, you want to BE SURE before you invest that moolah!

I have done so much stuff online and to get everything SBI offers at $25 a
month is actually a steal!

BUT - you can take a peak at the actual Action Guide we SBIers use to build our websites and it will not only help you with your decision but will also help shorten your learning curve once you actually DO purchase it.

VISIT THE SBI ACTION GUIDE LINK HERE - Have fun with it!

And as always,

Have a great day!

Made my First Adsense Money Today on My SBI Site :)

It's been about a month now and I have 26 pages built on my SBI site at http://www.emergency-survival-skills.com/ with an average of 20 - 35 visitors a day coming to it.

So I am adding adsense to some of the pages and some other affiliate links now... I try to add a page a day but some days, like today, I wasn't able to as I had too much other stuff going on... We are trying to get ready for a yard sale and it is pouring rain... :)

What I have been doing is building a page to add to the website and then I also submit the same page in article form to ezinearticles linking back to my site. It takes a few days for it to get accepted but eventually the articles will also draw trafic to the site.

I made my very first adsense money today - a total of .44 :)

That may not be much but hey, it is just the beginning and I know from my first experience with the SBI sites, that it takes a few months for it to really take off.... I only have adsense on a few pages so I need to go get it on more pages.

For those of you that are new to my blog -I have been working from home for several months now, and doing affiliate marketing, I finally started making money with it, after using the One Week Marketing , plan which focuses on using free methods... and yeah, I do brag on it a bit but then I DO have reason to, as that is what got me over the hump with all the online marketing stuff.... then I invested some of that profit into the SBI program which is like a business in a box. (and my ULTIMATE favorite but it does take a bit more of an investment, although $25 a month is really not that much!)

SBI will teach you how to not only build a website without having to know any html but is known to be one of the best methods of doing affiliate marketing or making money with adsense... I have a short review on it HERE as well.

I will keep you posted on my progress and in the meantime, as always,
Happy Marketing!

SBI update...

Summer is here and boy, it is a busy time with teenagers and all... Plus my hubby's job is still on hold, as it has been all winter. With not much luck at finding anything around here.





Although we are so thankful for what my Internet Marketing brings in for us, it is not to the point where we can just depend on it, so I am doing part time work, which keeps me hopping for sure.




But with what I am doing now with affiliate marketing and my new SBI site, I can do all that in the wee hours of the morning or late at night, if I have to... so that is nice and because I am so helplessly addicted to the online stuff, I DO find other times to work at it as well. :)




So, for those of you that are following my progress with SBI, ( here is my site if you have not seen it yet... www.Emergency-Survival-Skills.com ) I am at about 20 pages now and am getting steady traffic from Google every day. I know from past experience that it will keep steadily building as I add new pages and new content. (my goal is to have over a hundred pages built by July... we shall see if I get there!)




As of this writing on the 9th of May, you will notice there are not a whole lot of adsense ads and affilaite links added to the site yet. There is a reason for that. SBI explains all that in their FREE AFFILIATE MASTERS COURSE... if you have not taken advantage of that, you are missing out!




Anyways, today is another very busy Staurday at my house so I will need to be off and running... I have done my two hours of 'work' today on the computer so I need to get my 'real work in real life' done too, now! :)




Until next time...
Happy Marketing!

Building a New SBI Site...

Whew... I am well into building my new SBI site and am all pumped, full of ideas and not enough time to get it all done as fast as I would like to!

My very first SBI site that I had ever done was in one of the hardest niches on Planet Internet.... the work at home niche. DON'T put all your eggs in that basket, trust me! Although I do have this blog as my WAH Ramblings site, and I have a freeby website at http://www.montanamom5.com/ - other than that I put all my efforts into more profitable niches and topics than making money at home stuff.

So when I got discouraged with the WAH SBI site - and for those of you that are not familiar with SBI, it is the website in a box tool called SiteBuildIt! . Hundreds of work at home moms (and dads) are using it to build their own websites where they can earn a pretty good living with affiliate marketing and adsense.

But anyways, back to my ramblings, after I laid that first site down, I have gone the route of building blogs, Squidoo lenses and writing articles - all free methods to earn affiliate commissions online which is wonderful , especially if you use the OWM (One Week Marketing) guide to help you along. In fact, I didn't make any money till I started using that and following the simple steps outlined there....

I started making money and getting checks in the mail, so I decided to build another SBI site... Wow, all I can say, is WOW!

I had forgotten all the tools that are at my fingertips with it. The SBI system will do it all. It submits each page to various search engines immediately after it is built, it checks that all the links are working, but most importantly of all.... it will tell you as you build each page, whether or not it will please the Google Search Engine and spiders. That is HUGE!!

For any of you that have been following my blogs at all, you all know that I am not perfect. I have grammar errors, big time! And usually I think way faster than I can type, which makes for hard reading at times... so hey, if I can do this, ANYBODY can!!

What are you waiting for? :)

If this is all brand new to you - I would suggest to go build your first blog once. If you want to, send me a link to it, and I'll give you some hints or tips on what you can do with it. Or grab a simple tool or program to help you. There are a variety of them scattered throughout my blog here... and just get started!

Until next time...

Have fun!

Don't Know What to Write About??

Every writer has those moments - the blank memory times .... and then we all have those moments as well, when the pens fly (or the fingers) and it seems the articles, or blog posts or whatever we are trying to write about just flows...

We all love those times and have learned - somewhat anyways - to live with the not so good moments when we seem to have to squeeze our brain to exude any kind of sentence.

I have an idea for you.... and this is especially for those of you that like to write about anything under the sun..... just for the kicks of writing. :) Yep, there are those of us that just love to write and just wish we had more ways to monetise what we just wrote - lol

What if I told you that there ARE ways to do exactly that?

Ever heard of google trends ??

It is an amazing tool - you will find the hottest trends on google searches from anything like " kal penn death " to "sat scores" and "blind pilot "...

There are folks that simply have websites with articles on all sorts of things and follow the google trends to learn what to write about then monetise with things like adsense, etc...

Here is what one writer shared about that. You can read it HERE...

I will keep you posted on what is happening with my writings on 'trendy material' :)

Ahhh... Home Again After Two Weeks Vacation!

What a beautiful thing it is to go on a vacation but even more beautiful to come back home again!

We went from MT to MI to visit family - ran into blizzards both ways - got to see MT Rushmore with the kids - and had a wonderful time, blizzards and all!

I enjoyed the break from the computer as well. it is so important to get away from it all every so often. I seem to get the best ideas when I am away from it, like what to write articles on, what I could build Squidoo lenses on next and I am almost ready to tackle a new SBI site....

I did log onto the laptop every couple days and it was really fun to see commissions and sales even when I was not working. I tell you, the power of the internet and being able to harness that to funnel some money into our own bank accounts is exhilarating!

So, now I am trying to get back into a schedule with my kids and their homeschool, plus trying to find the time to put all the new ideas to work that I got while on vacation....

I have to admit - it IS good to be back in the swing again - but if you have not taken a break for awhile, maybe you need to step back, go take a few days off... who knows what killer ideas you may hatch while doing so.... :)
