Lessons For A Newbie

OK, this week seems to have flown by.  I have one too many projects on the go right now, and this is one issue I am hoping to be able to sort out this year.  I tend to get off track so easily, and have a hard time focusing on one task through to the end.  Also, as I am doing some freelance work - article writing, editing and proofreading etc. - I have a responsibility to finish these projects for my clients first.

Anyway, I have been wanting to come and post here for a couple of days about something great I actually just stumbled back on a few days ago.   I am one of these people who saves a lot of stuff to my hard drive, meaning to get back to it to read later.  But, often it is months before I remember to go back and find it - if I ever do!  (I know- it is awful!)  Well, it seems I do the same thing with my favorites list online.  I was browsing through some of the bookmarks I have and came across something that I honestly don’t even remember finding in the first place!  And, if I had looked it over really well to start with, I would have been miles ahead!

If you use Wordpress, or are at all interested in learning how to make money with blogging - you need to check this out!  You will learn everything - from the basics to some really terrific plugins to use and how to set up your blog to make money.  I have searched time and time again for a simple blog template to use - and found one through this site.  It is the same one that the actual site uses, and you can check mine out at www.thewriteinfluence.com that I set up last week - in a couple of hours.   If you go to the menu on the side, you will see that I have used the drop-down menu plug-in which is exactly what I have been looking for.  When you click the link for “Portfolio”, you will then see new links on the page for that section only.  Really cool stuff!  Go through the entire tutorial that is provided here, and you will learn A LOT!  Here is the link:   http://www.bloggingempires.com/    Trust me - you are about to do some learning with this site.

I also wanted to mention a great post on a blog who’s newsletter I am on.  He is providing some great links to free tools that help to earn money in Internet Marketing.  Go and read this post - and either bookmark it or sign up because it is only the first of a series of posts which will give you 28 great FREE resources.  Here is the link to the post:  http://www.lee-mcintyre.com/blog/28-free-marketing-tools-i-couldnt-live-without-part-i

So, some great learning material for you to use!  Make sure you do something with all of the information you are going to be getting from these two resources!
