I had a viral post last week and that was fun! Check it out.
I don’t watch my stats much. It gives me a brain bug. But a few times per week, sometimes, I take a peek and it was cool to see the huge spike upward. Stats used to get me on a roller coaster of moodiness. No more.
A special thank you to Ray Hollenbach and David Fitch who shoved the Myth of Ordinary Time post lovingly into the Twitterverse and also to everyone else who liked it on Facebook and read it and shared it. Was that you? Thank you!

I made this video below because it’s hard to secure a niche.
Getting your writing starting or getting your business going requires that you identify your unique niche to do well. As you draw your distinctions, you stand out.
Most everybody agrees on that, but rare is the precise advice on how to make that happen.
No more.
I worked to create a method that is simple and quick.
Don’t continue in your business or writing pursuits without nailing down the perfect, and more importantly–the specific–niche for you. It’s crucial to help you promote what you are doing well. It’s important to gain the traction you need to really succeed. I have all the details to make drilling down a snap.
More more thing! The great part about HOW I worked this out for us…my “purple cow” as Seth Godin puts it…is the affiliate sharing program integrated in.
[I’m not going to mince words. It’s really generous. Most affiliate programs give you a 10% sharing reward. Mine is 50%. So, not only can you gain some useful knowledge by viewing the short Tututorial, at a very reasonable price, but once you share the video tutorial, you can reap a hefty 50% reward each time someone pays to watch it. Extra cash is good, right? Exactly.]
Below is the preview. (To be an affiliate partner, and help me spread the word and also line your pockets, follow the link button in the video screen to sign up at youreeeka.com.)
HOW TO FIND YOU NICHE IN 5 MINUTES –

Would you pay just $2.99 to nail down your niche in a few minutes? Trust me, it’s WORTH IT. (please pass along this article to anyone you know who’s a writer or who’s starting a business.

Last week in this post, I told you about some of the problems with blogging to get a book deal and the misconceptions that surround the industry of book publishing.
I mentioned that I would be speaking more about ways to make money writing that don’t include some of the typical stuff–like snagging a big book deal, freelance writing, or selling ads on your website. Below is the preview of the first installment–it’s in video form.
There will be much more and we’ll go into depth too.
This won’t be something to read or watch and then move on from. You’ll get to dive into your particular situation and find some answers!
In addition to video content and some related blog posts, I’ll be creating some speedy worksheet downloads that will help with the process.
Here’s a supplemental piece for this video! Is is Free? You bet.
From the get-go you can make passive income from this series…Right now.
It’s 50/50 profit split.
Just watch the video below and embed it on your website. (twitter and Facebook shares work too)
Here’s the Affiliate link, to take part in the income portion. It only takes a moment to sign up.
This video is a PREVIEW to the introduction of the series. The first video goes into the 2 BIG RULES needed to be successful as a writer on the side. Do you have to be a mom or a Christian to view it or use the advice?
Nope. That’s just my niche for this endeavor.
Start by watching the preview. For less than a taco to can see the first video in what will be a super helpful series. Then, if you want to be part of the profits, embed it on your website. Only TWO people have to view it for you to make your money back. (That’s the beauty of a 50/50 split!)
Then passive income starts rolling in for you. Sweet, right?
(These will not be available on YOUTUBE. So, come back soon.)
HOMEWORK.
Once you watch the video, think about the two rules as they relate to you and write down YOUR answers. Feel free to share them here too, if that gives you a boost. If you link to your website, we’ll visit.
(The best part about Teresa’s article to me? The various mentions of not wearing pants. It’s just always funny.)
Teresa Shourds writes a very funny blog and I love how she handles this review which could have been awkward seeing as she is not fond of dogs. gulp.
Can a non-“dog person” enjoy the book I wrote with Doug Jackson? Read on and see!
EXCERPT:
Doug asked if I would take a gander and review, you know since I’m a fellow writer and all.
Specifically, he thought it would be an interesting perspective “coming from a person who is ahem – less than enthusiastic about dogs (per a recent blog)”. I’m assuming he means this blog.
He’s right.
I’m not a dog person, or an animal person really.
I don’t torture them. I’ve learned over the years to add that clarification because once you’ve acknowledged counter cultural feelings concerning pets – people go to dark places… immediately.
I’ll watch your cat sleeping on great dane video – once.
Past that – I’m out. I don’t like messiness, germ-i-ness, destruction or poop.
I have no affinity for the idea of Spot roaming freely throughout the house taking liberties with shoes, table legs, rugs and the trash in the bathroom. I really don’t want you sitting on my furniture – YOU HAVE NO PANTS ON. Plus I’m pretty sure you drank out of the toilet. Oh, and please stop licking my leg… I saw what you licked prior.
