It has been a long time since I’ve written a blog post here at Down On Our Luck because I’ve had to devote my attention to things more profitable than this blog. Here’s my obligatory apology: “I’m Sorry”. I’ve decided that this blog will become a tool as part of my business as opposed to a business all in itself. Trying to stay on a regular posting schedule just won’t work for me. I’ll make sure to post more often, but I can’t tell you when and where. If you found me at one point through Entrecard, then you’ll have noticed that I am not the dropper that I used to be. Once again, I was devoting too much time to dropping and not enough time on the things that make me money to reach my goal.
Since my last post, I’ve decided to really focus on things that make money. I think the fact that I have a steady job has been more of a hindrance than a benefit when it comes to building my online business. There’s always that crutch that I can fall back on right now which isn’t really working for me when it comes to motivation. I haven’t done anything drastic, but I have been focusing on tools and things that bring in money.
Of course, I’ve been working on spreading the word about Big Crumbs. June 2008 has been the best ever when it comes to earning referrals for myself. So far, in June I have referred 12 people with 6 more days to go; my best month ever. My referral income for May was only $11.65, but it’s still $11.65 that I didn’t have to jump through hoops to earn. June is definitely looking up as I’m at $15.62 as of today. I have a long way to go for 1,000,000 direct referrals as I’m only at 91 right now, but if you’d like to help me out, feel free to stop by and sign up. Not only will you be helping me, but yourself as well.
Tomorrow or the next day, I’ll post about some of the new Squidoo lenses I have built over the last month. I’ve been trying some new techniques to bring more offerings to my shopping lenses. It’s taking more time for me, but I think they will pay off in the long run.

This is $11 or $12 that I didn’t have before and I didn’t have to do a lot of work for.
I agree, it’s not much, but I can’t control how much people shop. I know there are a lot of people that sign up and then we never hear from them again because they forgot that BC exists. Big Crumbs doesn’t do a great job of sending reminders out to members about their service.
