Abba Zabba... your my only friend.

I got a job! Mother effing about time too. Well still pending a background check, but I'm sure that's not going to be a problem. I've already signed the w2 and everything, so I'm pretty much in. It's not much, it's a storage unit job, but it should be fairly easy. I'll be working Sunday Monday Tuesday and Thursday, from 9-6. That's a pretty sweet ass schedule I think. It'll suck not having sat night to party, but i'm totally stoked about only working 4 days a week. Maybe I'll get a small second job? I haven't told my parents I got a job yet, because I don't want to jinx myself. I was getting really scared there for a little while, thinking I would never get another damn job and live at my parents house forever.

In other news, I've slowed down in the whole squidoo thing, but making more lenses is still on my to-do list. I'd like to make like 15-20 then chill for a little bit. I feel like I haven't really given it a fair chance until I make at least 20 decent quality lenses. I've also been learning about writing articles, and submitting them to E-Zine websites. This video (among many others) are great ways to learn about this stuff. I still haven't learned enough about this, but I'm interested. I logged onto Goozex today and found out I have 2 new referrals! That's awesome news, considering I've been putting a nice amount of advertising for that site and was getting discouraged about not getting anyone to join, even though it's free, and I'm not even making money on it.

I've been thinking about making an ebook, to sell. I've seen a lot of other people doing it, and it seems to make sense. You write an ebook about something you know a lot about, or enjoy talking about, then make a site about it, and sell it on the site, and just spread the word to other people who might be interested in it. I've seen my mother "accidentally" buy these books before, so that alone is proof it works. I've even been tempted to buy them from time to time. I even DID buy one once, like a year ago, about turning garage sailing into a part time ebay income. It had a lot of great info in it, and was actually easily worth the 10 dollars I spent on it, considering I made the 10 bucks back like ten fold with the tips I read.

Oooo nevermind. I've just learned an even easier way to do that, without all the work of writing any ebook, but just selling other peoples ebooks/stuff, with clickbank.comSince I recently remembered that everyone and their mother plays world of warcraft, I think it's only fitting to present you all with my first affiliate link! Zygor In-Game Alliance & Horde World Of Warcraft 1-80 Leveling Guides!

Given that is being sold at a ridiculously inflated price, I understand the benefits of how it all works. For every WoW nut I find to buy this program, I get $22.05 Thats not too shabby. Now say in 3 months, once I have 20 different affiliate links floating out there, a wide variety of things to buy, I could be making some very serious dough for hardly any work. I think the first order of business, is to start making those squidoo pages I was meaning to make, with all my new affiliate links, then start writing articles with squidoo links on the bottom. It'll be pretty rough at first and a lot of work, but once I get it up and running like a well-oiled machine, I predict some pretty nice money will be coming my way. I of course will keep everyone updated. I highly suggest you just peruse ebay on subjects like affiliate marketing or article writing, if this kind of thing is interesting to you!
