Life Happened ... AGAIN

Ranked #7,555 in Internet, #343,906 overall

I've been busy with ... well, with LIFE!

"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans."
- John Lennon

After being away for almost a year, I am really excited to be BACK on Squidoo! I've really missed the Squidoo Community! A lot has happened since I wrote a lens or updated my blog. I have a lot more to write about now, and look forward to reading other lenses, too.

Upon returning to Squidoo, my biggest single motivating factor is that I have money waiting to be paid on my account!

eBay

while I was away ... :)

It has been a long time since I've logged on to Squidoo. While I haven't received any earnings from page visits, I have earned money from ebay! One of my lenses (couponing, I think) had an ebay link, and somebody made a purchase through my lens!!! My commission was very small, but I am SO excited :)

Getting Back on Track

... a little discouragement can go a lo-o-ong way

I left my online money making pursuit just under a year ago. My GoogleAdsense account had been cancelled. While I don't know the exact reason, I do believe that my husband AND co-workers were trying to help me by clicking my links. Google is not forgiving if they think that you cheat.

That situation really discouraged me.

ANYWAY ... I am BACK, and am looking forward to writing more lenses! C U all SOON!!!

We all need to be Persistent

Things have changed a lot ...

During the past year, there have been a lot of changes in my personal life; including surgeries, personal illness, family illness, death of my dog, temporary increase in household size ... to name a few. I suppose that it's all normal life issues, but they seem to make my planned goals become very difficult!

My time away from Squidoo has also been somewhat detrimental to my ~Squidoo Knowledge~

Not only has the website changed, but I seem to have forgotten all of the basics.

Advice to all the Squids(big and little): If for whatever reason you ever quit writing lenses, at least make an effort to frequenltly visit Squidoo. If you've enjoyed it in the past, then you'll probably be back! It can be quite overwhelming to start at the beginning ALL OVER AGAIN!

My personal life lesson for today - PERSISTENCE.

Amazon

If I can make money with ebay, then amazon should do well, too!

    I'm looking forward to when life slows down and allows you a little more time to really sit back and relax on squidoo for a few minutes each day. I worked part time on Squidoo too for the first couple years but now it is my main place to play. Best of wishes.

    You found the big secret: Everyone is busy doing the best they can with the challenges in their life. Congratulations on publishing this lens.

My name is Allison. I love planning, mathematics, and travel ... not necessarily in that order.

The Squidoo Community is absolutely amazing. I hope...
