I've returned from my holiday in Madeira and am now wondering if I should go away more often! Not being about seemed to have made no difference to the traffic on my blogs. In fact I had some excellent days on my celeb blogs.If you read the 'blogging rules', which many experts spout, it's necessary to write posts daily, keep up to date and so on and so on. No doubt this is good advice but there is no need to beat ourselves up if we miss a few days (or even a fortnight) because things will carry on okay without us.
Amongst the checks/cheques I had waiting on my return were two from ClickBank. There's a fair amount of criticism about this affiliate program, I've had a few moans myself, but once you qualify for payments things seem to work like clockwork - and fortnightly payments are very acceptable.
It's strange as, on the 18th of February, I wrote a post saying I hadn't had any recent ClickBank orders and then, like the London buses, you wait for ages and several arrive at once. Another reason to go on holiday more often!
Oh yes, nearly forgot to mention, got my first payment from Squidoo. Okay it was only $14.06 but it shows that they payout as specified. This is payment direct from them, via PayPal, and doesn't include spin offs from affiliate programs I have promoted on various Squidoo lenses.
I can now see that it is possible to make some decent money with Squidoo if you have the stamina to keep going at for at least six or seven months. It's something that could gradually build to something worthwhile.
In the meantime I'm planing my next holiday. The idea of making money in the sunshine while not doing anything is very appealing!
Good luck,
Mike.
