All that we are is a result of what we have thought.

Once again it is time for personal accountability. You know every week I am either excited or dread this post!  This week I am feeling both.  Let me tell you why.  I have had a rough week.  I almost posted a very mean and nasty (okay maybe not that bad) post about my hosting company.  They have messed up my hosting over and over again.  I have actually lost all of my stats for my websites for the last six months because of one of there workers.  I really was down.  I also was very discouraged because I wasn’t seeing results on my affiliate websites.

So long story short I realized I need to change things.  I need to change me!  So I have been working on that the last few days and I have been working harder than ever.  Life is getting better.  I am prepared to work hard this coming week and I am excited for the results.  Another great thing is the three affiliate websites I have had up for over a week are ranking.  A few of the keywords are actually ranking on the first page.  I am so excited about that!

So here is my personal accountability for my goals this week:

• Set up two more websites – Done
• Get least one article posted to ezinearticles.com for these new affiliate sites. – Done, today I got notice that all four articles were accepted for two of my affiliate sites!!
• Check into Squidoo lens to see if that will help with traffic. – I have and I am going to be creating a Squidoo page each week.
• 3-4 Danielle’s Journey posts – Done!

Okay I am proud!!  I did it all!  I completed every single one of my goals.  This is such an accomplishment for me!!

Here we go again!  What will I do next week:

• I am going to create five affiliate websites.
• I will be posting on Danielle’s Journey 4-5 times  this week.
• I will submit 4 more articles to Ezine articles.
• I will create one Squidoo lens.

I think I am going to keep it at that.  I know the five affiliate websites will keep me very busy this week.  I am excited for the future.  I am excited for my life and my work.

What are you doing this week?  Let me know!  Keep me posted.  One side note I have committed to walking at least 50 miles in the month of November.  I would really like to do 75 miles but my lungs are not at full capacity yet from the pneumonia so I am committing to 50 miles.  I will keep you posted on this too!

Have a great week!

Today I want to share with you a video from Rosalind Gardner.  Rosalind Gardner is the one person that got me interested in affiliate marketing years ago.  She is the author of the Super Affiliate Handbook. I purchased this book years ago when it was in it’s first edition.  I have since purchased Rosalind’s updated version of it.  This is a book I recommend highly if you are going to get started in affiliate marketing.

In this video Rosalind shows the simplest way to find affiliate marketing programs and how to promote them.  After this video you could go out and do exactly what she did and make some money today!

I hope you enjoyed the video.  If you want to have more detail on how to get started with finding affiliate marketing programs and applying what you learned today be sure and purchase the Super Affiliate Handbook.  It takes you step by step with all the details you need to know about affiliate marketing. She even describes how to increase you commissions.  It is definitely worth it’s wait in gold.

This month Lynn Terry interviewed Rosalind Gardner on her free webinar. If you are interested in hearing the recording of this interview it is available only to Lynn’s Self Starters Weekly Tips Elite group.  Lynn also has other interviews and downloads available only to the Elite members. Join Lynn’s Elite group and you will have access to all these things.

If you can’t  buy the Super Affiliate Handbook or sign up for Lynn’s Elite group now, then get started with affiliate marketing by participating on the Self Starters Weekly Tips forum.  Lynn Terry also has a weekly free webinar on Tuesdays that can help you learn all you need to know about affiliate marketing and how to pick affiliate marketing programs.

Have a great Friday,

PS. The best thing I did for my business is sign up for Lynn Terry’s Self Starters Weekly Tips Elite Group.  I get my questions answered every time and I found my accountability partner that inspires me to get things done!

Here is my Wordless Wednesday picture:

This is a blurry picture because it was a low quality digital camera (our first digital camera).  This is of my oldest children they are now 8 and almost 7 years old! When we lived in Ohio we had these huge shade trees in the back yard.  Every fall we had and enormous amount of leaves. One year my husband took the kids out to help him rake up the leave and they had a really good time.  This was when they got buried in the leaves.  I love this picture because it is so cute!
