On Feb. 10, 2011, I Start Drafting Two E-Books
Mike DeHaan
I checked how well SocialMonkee is working on my sample Squidoo Lens, Environmental Graffiti and Suite 101 articles. The answer is that it has not yet achieved any noticeable effect.
Along the same lines, the Squidoo lens that I have been trying to polish for a higher Lens Rank is woefully vibrating. It did get a boost from its earlier position, but now is stuck at another fairly low level.
On the plus side, one person liked the Lithium Battery lens; this seemed to trigger an e-mail inviting me to apply for something once I reach 50 lenses. OK, there is something for my to-do list.
The main point for today's post is: I have begun writing two e-Books. One is fiction in a fantasy genre. The other deals with a philosophy-of-science problem with Intelligent Design.
Meanwhile, my clients have not gotten back about their projects. I also have plans for some Suite 101 articles, but those will take some work and will likely result in page views without revenues. Perhaps I will find a product or service angle, but I still need to do a lot of research.
Similarly, one news item was tailor-made for an Environmental Graffiti "gee whiz, what an amazing species" article. However, there were no commercial-reuse images available, so there is no point trying to write that article.
I also began researching another article for Suite 101, based on an article that someone else had published and promoted. I will ensure that I take different approaches than the articles I research.

Suite 101 Articles from the Past
Kwanzaa Holiday Ceremony Set by purejuice2
I return to this feature. Today has one Mennonite article, and two for the winter solstice. The seasonal articles should surely become irrelevant over the summer; one hopes for a rebound next November or so.
Modern Mennonite Relief Organizations and Service Agencies highlights several international agencies organized by Mennonites. Mennonite Central Committee may be the best known of these organizations.
Safety Tips to Select and Install Outdoor Christmas Lights actually had a good run of page views. At the moment it is #8 on my Suite 101 list with 255 page views since Dec. 2, 2010.
A Quick Introduction to Kwanzaa Holiday Entertaining is #13 with 222 page views since Dec. 5th. I had hopes that people would find, and click on, advertisements for the colourful candles and other items used for Kwanzaa celebrations. See the image above: the candles and their base, the mat, and the cup are specific Kwanzaa symbols.
