    <title>Jun 15, MANAGING YOUR PERSISTENT FEARS, DEPRESSION, AND ANXIETIES</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#MANAGING-YOUR-PERSISTENT-FEARS,-DEPRESSION,-AND-ANXIETIES</link>
    <description>Everybody deals with anxiety and depression, however some people have a hard time in managing it. As a result, here is a brief list of techniques that a person can use to help manage their most persistent fears and every day anxieties.&lt;/p&gt; 

When facing a current or upcoming task that overwhelms you with a lot of anxiety, the first thing you can do is to divide the task into a series of smaller steps. Completing these smaller tasks one at a time will make the stress more manageable and increases your chances of success.&lt;/p&gt; 

Sometimes we get stressed out when everything happens all at once. When this happens, a person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off of the problem.  A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.&lt;/p&gt;

A person should visualize a red stop sign in their mind when they encounter a fear provoking thought. When the negative thought comes, a person should think of a red stop sign that serves as a reminder to stop focusing on that thought and to think of something else. A person can then try to think of something positive to replace the negative thought.&lt;/p&gt;

Another technique that is very helpful is to have a small notebook of positive statements that makes you feel good. Whenever you come across an affirmation that makes you feel good, write it down in a small notebook that you can carry around with you in your pocket.&lt;/p&gt;  

Whenever you feel depressed or frustrated, open up your small notebook and read those statements.   This will help to manage your negative thinking.
Learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. You never know when the answers you are looking for will come to your doorstep. We may be ninety-nine percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that one percent to make a world of difference.&lt;/p&gt; 

For the rest of the article and additional articles go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.managingfear.com/&quot;&gt;Managing Fear&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 

BIOGRAPHY: Stan Popovich is the author of &quot;A Layman&#39;s Guide to Managing Fear Using Psychology, Christianity and Non Resistant Methods&quot; - an easy to read book that presents a general overview of techniques that are effective in managing persistent fears and anxieties.</description>

    <title>Dec 5, Steps I take in creating a New Lens for Squidoo</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#Steps-I-take-in-creating-a-New-Lens-for-Squidoo</link>
    <description>Steps I take in creating a new lens and getting it published

1. Write down lens ideas as they come to me. If after a couple of days it still seems like a good idea I go for it and make the lens.

2. Try to get the best title as possible for my url -- descriptive but not too long.

3. Add the basic modules and try to always add either a duel, voting module, or plexo voting to help get the visitor engaged.

4. Make each lens a top resource for that topic with a high quality link list. This sometimes will take some research to find the best websites and/or blogs on the topic. I only make lenses with topics I am interested in so this usually does not take too long.

5. Check titles and subtitles for keywords. Add some additional tags.

6. After editing and reordering the modules I publish after my first run. I know most lensmasters don&#39;t but I figure the sooner the better on letting the search engines find it.

7. A day later, review, add, edit, re-organize, and look at it again to make sure it all makes sense. If I were visiting this lens would the content be helpful? Does it have a logical flow? Most of the time I do this a couple of days in a row.

    <title>Dec 4, Some Excerpts from Steve Pavlina&#39;s new Book</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#Some-Excerpts-from-Steve-Pavlina&#39;s-new-Book</link>
    <description>Personal Development for Smart People by Steve Pavlina 

&lt;i&gt;&quot;When you disconnect from your core self, you experience fear. When you refuse to face your fear, you disconnect even more. Fear isn&#39;t something to be avoided. It&#39;s the arrow pointing back to your true self. A good rule of thumb to follow is this: whatever you fear, you must eventually face.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  from Chapter 6 Courage

&lt;i&gt;&quot;For behavior to be in intelligent, each part of this process must be aligned with truth, love, and power.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; from Chapter 7 Intelligence

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Does this relationship have a heart? Then consciously decide which ones you want to maintain, which you want to deepen, and which you want to break off. Don&#39;t settle for a life filled with shallow, empty interaction.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; Chapter 12 Relationships

    <title>Nov 22, My Typical day on Squidoo</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#My-Typical-day-on-Squidoo</link>
    <description>I typically am working on Squidoo from 9 pm to 11 pm.  Weekends who knows sometimes a couple hours; sometimes 5 or 6 hours. The following is what I am doing on typical day (since I made the decision to go to $50 a day):

&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/MarkNehs&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; pretty much everything I am doing.

Do 1 or 2 of the following on Squidoo:&lt;Br&gt;
1. Review and freshen an old lens&lt;br&gt;
2. Make a new lens&lt;br&gt;
3. Work on a newer lens&lt;/p&gt;

Submitting lenses to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/groups/squidirectory&quot;&gt;SquidDirectory Group on Squidoo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://squidpoint.com/&quot;&gt;Squidpoint&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lensroll.com/&quot;&gt;Lensroll&lt;/a&gt;.

Make some posts either asking questions or helping at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidu.com/forum/&quot;&gt;SquidU the forum for Squidoo Lensmasters&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warriorforum.com/mind-warriors-success-power-self-improvement/&quot;&gt;Warrior Forum&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://beginnersmarketingclass.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=624&quot;&gt;Beginners Marketing Class&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://squidoomarketing.ning.com/forum/topics/challenge-making-money-on&quot;&gt;Squidoo Marketing on Ning&lt;/a&gt;.

Do 1 of the following:&lt;br&gt;
1. Search for an affiliate program for a product I would like to promote or through ones I have already signed up with&lt;br&gt;
2. Look at other lensmasters and others that are actually making money to learn from them&lt;br&gt;
3. Watch a video or listen to call to help my Squidoo or Internet skills&lt;br&gt;
4. &lt;a href=&quot;http://marknehs.stumbleupon.com/about/&quot;&gt;StubmleUpon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://delicious.com/Mark.Nehs&quot;&gt;Delicious&lt;/a&gt;, and/or &lt;a href=&quot;http://digg.com/users/msoi&quot;&gt;Digg&lt;/a&gt; my lenses 
This usually all combined takes me about 2 hours so then I conclude with updating what I have done at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/50adaywithSquidoo&quot;&gt;$50 a day with Squidoo&lt;/a&gt; and my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; and go to bed.&lt;p&gt;
If any of these &quot;regular&quot; activities do not make cents (get it?) and you KNOW them to be a waste of time on my journey to $50 a day with Squidoo please tell me so I do not waste my time. Thanks in advance.

Following is a list of what I am NOT doing anymore:
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Not obsessed with lensrank&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Visiting everyone and ranking and signing guestbooks and becoming everyone&#39;s &quot;friend&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Using banners ads and replacing with more links&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stopped wondering about making money and taking action &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#Not-much-on-Squidoo-today---pretty-tired</link>
    <description>Forgot about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/groups/squidirectory&quot;&gt;SquidDirectory Group&lt;/a&gt; so now I am adding to Squid Directory, Lensroll, and Squid Point all at the same time.  2 posts at SquidU. Read some great tips from Joan at &lt;a href=&quot;http://squidoomarketing.ning.com/forum/topics/challenge-making-money-on&quot;&gt;Squidoo Marketing on Ning&lt;/a&gt;. Published my new lens &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/MotivationalMovies&quot;&gt;Motivational Movies&lt;/a&gt; which was just split up from my Self Help DVD lens. Looking at some affiliate programs and products that I would want to promote.  If you don&#39;t know most products have affiliate programs where you can signup and if you make a sale you make money!!</description>

    <title>Nov 19, Made another sale and some strategy decisions</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#Made-another-sale-and-some-strategy-decisions</link>
    <description>Great news: Made an affiliate sale = $35.98 on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/Self-Help-DVD&quot;&gt;Self Help DVD Lens&lt;/a&gt; at least I am pretty sure it was from there -- actually not positive because I do not see a click out from any of my different websites?&lt;br&gt;
Made 2 posts to SquidU&lt;br&gt; 
Tip: &lt;a href=&quot;http://squidpoint.com/&quot;&gt;Squidpoint&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lensroll.com/&quot;&gt;Lensroll&lt;/a&gt; are very similar so I have been submitting the same 2 lenses to them at the same time.&lt;br&gt;
My &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/50adaywithSquidoo&quot;&gt;new lens&lt;/a&gt; is now ranked 1,464 in its 3rd day.&lt;br&gt;
Made another decision: I have decided to split up some of my lenses into more specific and targeted lenses.  For example, I am going to make a few lenses out of my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/self-help-dvd&quot;&gt;Self Help DVD&lt;/a&gt; lens. I have given other people advice to be very focused with their lenses (just taking my own advice).</description>

    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#$50-a-day-with-Squidoo-Lens-at-#2,254-in-Day-2</link>
    <description>Signed up for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lensroll.com/&quot;&gt;Lensroll&lt;/a&gt; and submitting lenses. &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/MarkNehs&quot;&gt;Twittered&lt;/a&gt; about this lens. Made 2 posts at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidu.com/forum/&quot;&gt;SquidU Forum&lt;/a&gt;. Lensrolled some helpful How to Squidoo lenses to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/50adaywithSquidoo&quot;&gt;$50 a day with Squidoo lens&lt;/a&gt; Looking for ideas on how to improve this lens??  It has jumped to 43rd in Squidoo Tips and 2,254 in its 2nd day. I am amazed. Will this help get me closer to my $50 a day goal?
Confused by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pjtra.com/t/Qj1GQUFHPUJBQEdIPUNFRQ&quot;&gt;Pepperjam&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.pjtra.com/i/Qj1GQUFHPUJBQEdIPUNFRQ&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt; so I may look at working some other affiliate programs that I have signed up with over the years (mostly with no success).</description>

    <description>Definitely have the feeling of what to do next on my $50 a day challenge.  When confused I usually do not get much done and today has been no exception. Looking at other websites on how to make money on Squidoo. 
Checked in at &lt;a href=&quot;http://squidpoint.com/&quot;&gt;Squidpoint&lt;/a&gt; and submitted a couple more of my lenses.  Checked in at &lt;a href=&quot;http://beginnersmarketingclass.com?rid=60&quot;&gt;Beginners Marketing Class&lt;/a&gt;, and checked in at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidu.com/forum/&quot;&gt;SquidU&lt;/a&gt;. I have noticed SquidU has high rankings and a fair amount of traffic back to my lenses so starting today I am going to make a couple of posts a day at SquidU.</description>

    <description>In my Squidoo income quest, I just made a $33 commission on an affiliate program I am in through one of my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/Silva-Life&quot;&gt;Squidoo&lt;/a&gt; lenses!!!

Learning about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pepperjamnetwork.com/index.php?subid=1&amp;source=pjcontact&amp;subid=21078&quot;&gt;Pepperjam&lt;/a&gt; to generate some more cash

Traffic has spiked on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/self-help-quotes&quot;&gt;Self Help Quotes Lens&lt;/a&gt; from posting a couple of the self help quotes on Twitter The lens has climbed to #1,484 Overall

This update was from 11/13 but I had a blog problem.

    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#This-Squidoo-journey-sure-has-me-learning</link>
    <description>In my research for widgets, (a way to make some money on my Squidoo lens or at least I think) I kept seeing talk about CPA&#39;s.  I always thought CPA meant Certified Public Accountant NOT in the Internet world.  It means Cost-Per-Action and now I need to find a place to sign up with. I am looking at Pepperjam...

Ready to join this Squidoo income journey with me?  &lt;a href=&quot;http://beginnersmarketingclass.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=624&quot;&gt;Post your goal&lt;/a&gt; and let&#39;s get there together.</description>

    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#Update-on-$50-a-day-with-Squidoo</link>
    <description>What I am working on now to get to goal:

Submitting lenses to the Squidoo Directory for traffic and lensrank

Two step process (takes a few minutes which is probably why I avoided doing this earlier).

&lt;a href=&quot;http://links.squidirectory.com/add_link.html&quot;&gt;Squid Directory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/groups/squidirectory&quot;&gt;SquidDirectory Group on Squidoo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Going to do some research on adding some widgets to add to my lenses?  Let me know at &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/marknehs&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; or here at BestSelf-Help.com</description>

    <title>Nov 11, Guide to getting started with Squidoo</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Getting-Started-on-Squidoo.html</link>
    <description>Here is a step by step guide on how to get started on Squidoo:

Step 1: List down 5 things that you sre really, really interested in &lt;b&gt;the more specific, the better&lt;/b&gt;. Do not think too hard or try to think of which ways you will make the most money. Just list down things that first come to mind.

Step 2: Do a quick search on Squidoo to see if your favorite topics are already being covered. If they are already being covered widely, consider a few other topics or make it more specific. If you are not too concerned about competition, then feel free to skip this step.

Step 3: Concentrate on one topic and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/Mark-Nehs&quot;&gt;start creating your lens&lt;/a&gt;. Think of what type of lens you wish to create and follow the prompts. You will be guided along the way! I consider the name very important because it will become a part of the url (for example: http://www.squidoo.com/self-help-blogs) so choose wisely.

Step 4: Add content! Here is where you can start sharing what you know. Be sure to cover the basic who, what, why, how, etc,

    <title>Nov 11, My September Squidoo earnings</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#My-September-Squidoo-earnings</link>
    <description>Just received my September earnings and they totaled $25.68 with 2 tier one lenses.  Thus to get to $50 a day I need 125 lenses in the top 2,000 or I better learn how to sell something on Squidoo. 

Any Ideas?</description>

    <title>Nov 8, Make Money with Squidoo challenge</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#Make-Money-with-Squidoo-challenge</link>
    <description>I just decided some how some way I am going to be making $50 or more per day with Squidoo by Dec 31st. How about you?
It is now Nov 2008, and I have had Squidoo lenses (individual Squidoo web pages) for a little over a year now. Lenses with information I enjoy without much attention to how to make money for myself or my charities. I do make a little bit but not even enough for a coffee a day (even a no frills cheap brand).

Because Squidoo is very search engine friendly it can have many other purposes besides making money but this thread is reserved for those that want to make cold hard cash for themselves or their charity.

The main ways to make money with Squidoo are

1. Revenue share with Google and Glam ads on your Squidoo lens
2. Revenue share Amazon, eBay auctions, Orbitz, Netflix, Cafepress, and more.
3. Affiliate sales
4. Network marketing products
5. Selling your own products
6. Let&#39;s get creative...

I will help with how to put a lens together, explaining modules (different parts of a Squidoo lens/website), and how to generate traffic. How can you help? Let us know what is working for you as you get sales, different ideas, post links of ways others are making money with Squidoo, and being a supportive helpful team member.

As of today, my focus will be to find those that are actually making money with Squidoo and to learn, implement, and share the successful strategies.

New to Squidoo? No worries. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/Mark-Nehs&quot;&gt;Squidoo is Free&lt;/a&gt;

Not a Beginners Marketing Class member? No worries. &lt;a href=&quot;http://beginnersmarketingclass.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1646#1646&quot;&gt;The BMC forum is free&lt;/a&gt;. So Let&#39;s get started.

If you want to join (posting your goal on the Internet for all to see -- kinda scary) please register in the link below with how much you will be making (for yourself and/or charities) by Dec 31st.

I&#39;ll start.

It is now Dec 31st, 2008 and I am so happy and grateful to be making $50 or more per day with Squidoo sharing products, services, and information.

    <title>Nov 8, Four Hour WorkWeek by Tim Ferris My Review</title>
    <link>http://www.bestself-help.com/Best-Self-Help-blog.html#Four-Hour-WorkWeek-by-Tim-Ferris-My-Review</link>
    <description>This book is &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;informative, how-to, to the point, and basically a must have&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for your library (I own the book and the audio book) -- it is a paradigm changer. Tim Ferriss tells you what to eliminate and how to go about eliminating those useless things our lives.&lt;/p&gt;

The 4 Hour Workweek is &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;full of great ideas&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; on how to automate your business and your life. The tools and tricks he gives you alone are well worth the cost of the audio book.&lt;/p&gt;

If you need help focusing on what it is you need to get done and how to get rid of the clutter this is the book for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.squidoo.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Tim-Ferriss&quot;&gt;Learn more about Tim Ferriss and the 4 Hour WorkWeek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

For anyone that purchases the audio book -- I have put all the tools and tricks onto a web page. Just contact me here at 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bestself-help.com/contact.html&quot;&gt;Best Self-Help&lt;/a&gt; and I will send you the link.&lt;/p&gt;
