Making my first million? Not quite, but I have made a sale or two!

I took a few days off all this as my head was spinning. Kind of in a literal sense, because my Meniere's syndrome was attempting to rear itself into my world again and make the floor move. (For those of you who don't know, it's dizziness and nausea).

All the links are on my site and I submitted the site to a few more search engine/directory type places. My hits are going up well and the tracking on my pages tells me they are crawling my site as well as attracting real live visitors.

And I made a sale! Not millions, but a sale! And a couple of book sales from the affiliate site that I set up a couple of years ago. Enough to live on? Nowhere near it. Enough to go out to dinner maybe. Still, to me, it proves I am on the right track here.

My next attempt was to find articles, to create a few free reports or ebooks on each topic - painting, drawing, photography and general arts. I looked at a lot of articles from ezinearticles.com but finding the author to get permission to reprint is challenging. Much easier is articlebase.com. I was doing searches on articles about art (try saying that a few times quickly) and found several and contacted the authors. I now have half a dozen articles on painting and one on photography.

Then I remembered I've written a few articles myself a few years ago for the ezine I used to publish, so I've dug those out too and will submit them to places accepting articles, as well as putting them into the ebook.

As a second bonus for subscribing, there is also the ebook, Australian Yarns, which is available for sale on my website.

I've also been doing keyword analysis using my site statistics, and google's keyword search, so I can start an adwords campaign to lift my hits.
