At last - my second lens on squidoo

Well this has taken a long time - well over a year in fact. So what happened? Well I wrote my first lens and um, sort of forgot about it. Then I had an email telling me that I had earned a tiny bit of commission (less than  $2 infact) but this got me thinking again about trying this online thingy again. So I started my second lens about Taking Kids to Festivals and wrote about mine and my friend's experiences over the years.

Notice that when you arrive the squidoo url is actually 'music-festival-camping-with-kids'. This is was the original title of the lens but I decided that this was a bit of a rubbish title so I changed the primary link to Taking Kids to Festivals as it seemed like a more natural search term. Anyway, enjoy and feel free to add any comments.

Cheers, Ana

So What Have I Done So Far?

I suppose a more prudent question and one which is easier to answer would be "What have I NOT done?" That's easy. I have NOT spent a single penny on e-books, reports or anything else that claims that I can make money by buying their product. There is so much free stuff out there, it seems a bit daft for somebody who has no money to risk to, well, risk it.  Maybe this IS the way that they make money but for now at least I am open to more ideas.

One thing I've learned is that I am going to have to do a lot of writing. That's a good start. I love writing. I found Squidoo which is an online publishing platform to share about the things that you are passionate about. Articles submitted are called lenses.You can use this to place something called affiliate links within your content to generate an income. If you've never heard of Squidoo here's the page that tells you all about it: Getting Started With Squidoo. 

Of course, Squidoo has many lenses written about "how to make money online" but my first lens was about a book that I loved when I was a child: The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton which was my first proper venture into online publishing. Apparently this is an area I need to look into....

Welcome

Hi and thanks for stopping by.

I'm Anaphase and this is my tentative toe-dip into the world of blogging. I intend to use it primarily to tell you about how I am hoping to use the online world to try and earn some money.

I'm very skeptical about this possibility. I've spent years and years looking at it in depth and find it very hard to believe anybody is actually achieving all of their wonderful claims.

I'll keep you posted about steps I am taking and if they are working or not.
