The First Six Week Plan

So I’ve done it again - despite vowing not to buy any more make money ebooks I bought another one costing $47. This brings my outlay to $120 for domains and $160 on ebooks. Damn! Okay, this time no more spending until I’ve earned (and hopefully learned) something.

The latest ebook is a book on Squidoo. Why squidoo? The primary reason is simple - I won’t have to spend anything on hosting and domains for any experiments. I’ve decided that I am going to give this one my best shot to the exclusion of any other money making plans.

Six weeks will take me through to the start of February next year and I am hoping to spend at least 10 hours a week that will give me 60 hours to play with. What can I hope to achieve in that time?

My primary goal is to create at least 30 lenses and get some traffic. As each of the two lenses I have created so far have taken at least an hour and a half (and are still not complete), I have to get much quicker. Some of these lenses will point at my blog and some will sell affiliate products.

There are Squidoo related activities other than writing lenses I need to get involved with - joining groups, reviewing other lenses in my area, setting up my bio, updating current lenses.

I hope to write at least one post for my blog every three days which over 42 days is 14 posts. Currently it takes me around 30 minutes to write a post so that is another seven hours. I want to get started with article writing and a target of six articles, 1 per week, seems reasonable.

Do I have any monetary goals at the moment? Let’s say I want to sell on average one product per week. If I sell all six in the final week, that is fine, but any fewer than that and I will be a little disappointed.
