February 6th 2009

Well its been a hectic few days. I went down to London and had my interview on Wednesday. I was offered the job with a start date of February 23rd. At this moment though I am not getting to excited until I have actually signed a contract, there have been so many ups and down over the last 2 years that I am just holding back on the 'yippees' for now.

I will still pursue my Online Moneymaking plan though. These days no job is a job for life. I have just been accepted as an Amazon Associate, so you will see something from Amazon appear on this blog soon. Just google 'Amazon Associates' and take it from there. I have also been looking into 'WidgetBucks'.

The clicks haven't jumped much since I started with the 'Surf Communities' I mentioned in my last post. They either don't work, I am too impatient or they should really be utilised for a long term website. I still think I get most clicks when I publish my post as an article on Zimbio as mentioned in the last post. So I will search for more Ezines.

I have also been going through 'online marketing' forums and trying to pick up tips. One useful tip directed me to a website called Squidoo which again can be turned into a revenue stream. You create a lens (page) with easy to follow instructions, which then has advert options from Amazon, Ebay and several others relating to your page.

Check mine out:

Anyone who has been reading this will know that I was very Internet illiterate when I started the blog and anything I have created is by carefully finding the right info and following instructions.

At the moment I feel I am all over the place, but confident that once I get through all the online culdesacs and dead ends, I will have a more definite plan to follow. My next step could well be buying a domain name from money earned here and attempting to build a website as I have some ideas to explore.

Just before I go I want to say thanks to Jay at munny4hunny.com for his kind words and advice.

I may get home in a few weeks to see Liz and the kids if the job comes off ok, so looking forward to that.

The Recession wont beat me, don't let it beat you.
