That Busy Time of Year

Like everyone, my December has been busy.  My 81 year old mother has experienced another compression fracture and is in a great deal of pain so I’ve been tied up with some doctor visits and such in the past two weeks. Unfortunately when there is pain, there is reduced activity, poor apetite etc., all which has to be addressed. Then of course, my mother-in-law went into the hospital.

My online efforts have been limited so I’ve focused primarily on a few lenses that I thought holiday shoppers would be interested in and focused on gift buying ideas in my blogs away from SquidTop. I have a couple of “how to” topics to do next month but they had to wait for now.

My affiliate sales are up about 30% and my Squidoo Amazon sales are up to about $140. I’ve kept about 17-20 lenses in the top tier up to this point in the month.  Based on customer interest on my site, I made lenses about finding a 32 inch LCD HDTV, 1080p LCD HDTV, and a general one on Electronics Gift Ideas for those on a budget.  I also threw in one for fun about voting for the Cutest Puppies because I needed a mental break (as opposed to a mental breakdown).

After a bit of lens visiting this afternoon, I hope to sit down and see how I’ve done as far as my 2008 goals and start setting my sights on 2009.

    17-20 lenses in the Top Tier is fantastic! I hope you will share your goals for 2009 with us.
