Life After Wealthy Affiliates


Discovering Squidoo really changed my cyber life. For someone who knew nuts about Internet Marketing or even setting up webpages, Squidoo was a breath of fresh air and a sigh of relief.

It is just so easy setting up a lens on Squidoo. Lenses are what webpages are called on Squidoo. Basically all you need to do is pick modules that you'd like to include in your lens, type your article or story and publish it. It's that simple.

The modules on Squidoo are extremely varied and user friendly. Where once I used to wrestle with my PC when putting up something as simple as a Youtube video on my website, with Squidoo all you need to do is paste the Youtube url code and that's it. The video gets posted on your lens immediately, no hassle.

For people who'd like to make a few extra bucks, they even have Amazon, Ebay, Cafepress and other modules that search out products based on what you're writing and you earn the commissions.

On top of all that, Squidoo also shares some of their advertising profits with you.

If you're like me wanting to start of Internet Marketing and looking for somewhere F.R.E.E. to post your articles without having some Jimbo tell you it's too long, too short, too spammy, too much affiliate links and all that other BS that some article sites (I'm not naming names.....EzineArticles, Buzzle, Hubpages) throw at you then Squidoo is the site for you.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Man, I can't believ that it's been 4 months since my last post. No, I wasn't lying in a coma in the hospital, nor was I kidnapped by aliens. I've just been extremely busy.

Here's a summary of the things that happened.

Just after my last post in June, I took the leap and joined the Wealthy Affiliates. WA is a community of Internet Marketers, led by two IM Millionaires Kyle and Carson. Took me a while to finally commit myself to joining them not because I didn't believe in their strategies but because it would cost me USD$39.90 per month which may be low for an American but for a Malaysian like me it converts to $130.00 per month which is big.

Boy was I glad that I joined. I was not making a single cent before joining them but within two weeks after joining, I saw my first online sale. And it did not stop, I was consistently making sales after that. What WA gives you is not just self help and guides. Their internal tools are extremely superior and they even provide you with free web hosting in case you have a website you'd like to put online.

I left WA three months later after I felt I had milked all the information I needed and to minimize my online spendings but I'm definitely joining them again once my online income stabilizes to something I can retire on. If you'd like to know more about WA visit my friend SooElle's site:
