Jan. 2nd Might be Really Dull
Today had a slow start since I went, as usual, to church first.
I have thought of several articles to write for Squidoo, with a deadline of "really soon" because this type of product has peak sales in January and July. One key for commercial success in writing is to catch the spirit of the times. So I need to start my research and then hit Squidoo hard.
Promoting the articles is almost as important as writing them. I will continue to build links to my various articles. As well, I need to promote them via social media and social bookmark sites.
If I had not mentioned it yet, I began a different blog on Weebly. I just use it to "Xperiment" with Weebly. Sometime I may write a series of articles with my brilliant insights. Today I posted nine entries.
So this short post just keeps my writing process alive and disciplined. To paraphrase a running buddy, "It only takes one excuse to destroy a good habit".

On the Other Hand, Here's Excitement:
One long-running FreeLancer job just closed, successfully, so I have received my payment. I need to keep checking that site to see if he posts a follow-up project.
I began researching more niche furniture items for Squidoo lenses for January. Updated my Mission Furniture page when I came upon a neat product: folding mission-style dining chairs. Who would have thought of it?
For my SEO today I completed the final paragraph in this blog entry.

Today's Research Involved Furniture

January is typically a busy month for Google searches for furniture. I had chosen a few types of furniture, and then performed some research in Amazon looking for the best sellers.
Unfortunately, the types of furniture I selected ran on a different cycle. I will still plod ahead with them, but with slightly less hope than before.
On the other hand, it gave me an excuse to update my Mission Furniture lens with a new item.

Articles from the Past

This will be a regular feature in my writing blog until I catch up with all the articles I had previously written.
From Environmental Graffiti: 5 Disgusting Bugs That Could Invade Your Home deals with bed bugs, carpenter ants, head lice, termites and wasps. The Secret Life of the Earwig provides a glimpse into its dark and hidden world. How Deer Ticks Spread Lyme Disease's title originally included the phrase "Woodland Terrorists", but the editor decided this was too inflamatory.
My featured Suite 101 articles are Great White Sharks Near Cape Cod - Again, Bedbugs - Symptoms, Signs and Solving the Problem and Itching to Get Rid of Head Lice.
