Day 6 ~ Jackie Lee

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Yes I said afternoon, whew, this day just got away from me. AND that's ok.

This week I've started a new topic I am going to focus on for the whole week. I had to do some research on keywords, and then I also had to some research to find a good affiliate company to go with my products. Finding a company that had what I was looking for took a little longer than I thought it was going to.

Then I had a lot of interruptions from the little one this morning, which made the whole process a little harder to keep track of.

Here's where I went astray. I opened my email before I did my work. ;) In fact I opened my email, and read it, and followed some bunny trails and when I looked up it was the time I am usually doing this post. eeeek. It's kind of like Mary K noticed last week, although the opposite. It seems much harder for me to get this done if I leave it past 9am.


I did get it all done, but here it is almost 2pm and I haven't gotten anything else done yet. Although it is almost 5 hours from the time I started if I only added the time I was actually working it probably did not take me more than 3 hours all together.

I also ran into another snag. I have posted 10 articles at ezinearticles.com. Once you hit the 10 article mark you have to apply for a free upgrade so you can post more articles. It seems kind of dumb to me frankly to upgrade for a free membership, but that's the way it is. I'm still waiting on them to review my 10th article and then I have to apply and who knows how long that process takes, so I also spent some time looking for other article directories to post my article in.

I am still only posting in two places, but I am hoping to find places that will post my article much quicker, so I can get the process rolling a little quicker.

Today I:
Wrote an article: 15 minutes
Created new squidoo lens: probably 1 1/2 hours
Found affiliate program: 30 minutes
Figured out how to create affiliate link with new program: 15 minutes
Looked for new article directory: 10 minutes
Pinged /bookmarked: 2 minutes

That's how my day went. All and all not too bad, I did stick with it and get it done. Tomorrow Iw will get on it first thing, and save email as a reward for work completed. :)

Have an amazing day.

Jackie Lee :)
