Now that I’m back from vacation I plan to really step up my marketing. For the next few weeks I plan to work on content for my affiliate sites, tweak them a bit, and prepare some of my blog sites for proper monetization in the future (also involving content as well as tweaking visual appeal). I still haven’t figured out why my contentless, non-tweaked sites are performing better than my sites with content, but I figure it has to be a fluke or possibly the niche itself. I don’t want to just let things go and hope.

Since I also have a nasty head cold (not a typical cold though- more a matter of congested sinuses and a fuzzy head with an inability to focus), I’m going to leave any attempts at freelance work for a while until I can catch up on my personal projects.

My go-between asked me to notify her when I’m back from vacation, so I hope she’ll bear with me while I recouperate.

I also want to test the waters with article marketing and see just what my pay rate with AC will be now that I’ve jumped up to the next rank. Perhaps even submit a few more articles to Helium (I started out when they were having a contest last year- I made a few bucks, but I’d really like to reach pay out). And I need to figure out how to attach a file to WordPress blogs so that I can post another how-to to VixenCrafts. I’ve been receiving a steady stream of search engine traffic to that site, and I’d like to keep it updated.

I’ve also decided that while I do plan to keep my “I Feel Like Chatting” blog, I will probably be using it more as a “I wrote this here, wrote this here, and updated this today” kind of blog. With the occassional post that doesn’t fit in anywhere else (which is mostly what I’m using it for now).

I’ve got a lot of catching up to do, and I’m still working on catching up to all of your blogs. I’ve been through a few today, but I’ve got lots more to go through. And that’s not even counting the industry blogs. Yeesh.
