OMG, What’s Happening With Me???
Hi Squids, today I want to share with you something I want to tell. This comes from deep of my heart. What I’ve experienced and how I feel at the moment. I’ll talk about my fears and why I posted so little articles on my blog. I’ll also tell you what I’m going to do about it. I’ll talk a little more about myself than Squidoo and I hope that’s OK with you. Prepare, this is going to be a long read ![]()
First, let me tell you that the work from August is paying off now in October and September. Both months were good in sales (October is still rocking). I tweaked my lenses a little bit, create many new ones and from that secret tweak I have many many more sales through Amazon affiliate links. Commissions are great and lensrank on Squidoo as well. I expect 4-figure paydays and I hope to achieve this.
I learned a lot during the last months on Squidoo. I create much better lenses now than I did in the past.
I hope you’re doing well and that you created lenses for Halloween. Did you? But now it’s too late for Halloween, focus on Christmas and New Year. I’m really behind my schedule and I need to work a lot now. Always create goals and focus on them everyday. If you can’t write or don’t know how to create good content, outsource articles. This can help you to build lenses much faster.
I would really like to hear from you in the comment section how you’re doing on Squidoo and if there is something I can help you with.
From 19th to 21st October I was in Munchen, Germany on the ASEA European Summit. And there I learned something very special. We listened to many successful and kind people. I write about that, because later all this will make sense.

(If you would like to see some pictures from the event, I made my album available for public on my personal FB profile)
The first thing that’s really important is to help others, I know that, but did I do that on my blog? Too little, because I didn’t post lots of content yet. I help people through e-mails, FB, Twitter, but that’s not enough for me. My goal is that everyone who work with me can become successful. You don’t know how happy I am for every visitor, comment on this blog and how much I appreciate you for being here. I’m very grateful and I appreciate every one of you!
I know it’s hard to start with business online and when I was starting with Squidoo nobody helped me. I learned all by myself through success and many failures. With a mentor you can achieve something much faster. Always look for one. One that has experiences, can motivate you and is always prepared to help.
So, as you probably see, I made some mistakes in this article during writing, because English language is not my native one. I come from Slovenia, little and very beautiful country in Europe. If you’re wondering why I didn’t post many articles, let me answer that for you. I always wanted everything to be perfect. When I wrote articles, I always sent them to my dear friend Martin (also a Squid), who helped me with them. He goes through the particular article and check for the mistakes I make with tenses.
I feel very bad because of this. I know people and especially Martin have their own work to do. I’m so grateful to you Martin, but I know that words can’t describe and show that. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

What I’ve decided? I’ll post more articles and I won’t send them to anyone. I’ll publish them as they are, because this is me and I won’t hide anymore. And this way I can post more articles faster without worrying. Do you like that?
I just hope you’ll receive the message from my writings. If you won’t understand something you can always contact me. I’ll also create some videos. I need to learn that and move my blog to another scale. Would you like to see some videos where I share some Squidoo tips?
I’ve also created a bonus for everyone who will want to receive e-mails from me. It will be soon on the blog for you. I don’t know why I’m delaying this. And I’m thinking about the product, where I can teach you everything I know about Squidoo.
Back to Asea and my WHY. It was very hard for me and people there not to cry on the seminar sessions. There I heard such an amazing stories and met some really amazing people including all the founders and important people from Asea. You really can’t understand what I felt in Munchen if you weren’t there. So much emotion and positive energy. I’ve never felt that before. So much love.
If you have the chance to go someday to this kind of meeting in your country, GO! You’ll not regret it! You can learn a lot and the experiences can help you later in your life. Next year I hope to come to US and we can also meet there ![]()
Ok, one of my friends was there on the stage, because he’s a Diamond Executive in Asea and he had a speech. He just recently started to learn English language and he knows he’s not good at it yet. But do you know what he decided?
In front of 3000 people he came to the stage and started to talk in English! With many mistakes he made when speaking he still got a standing ovations! He made such a big impact on me, really. He was very brave and I respect that. I decided I’ll never hide anymore. If he done that I can do everything I want! And you, too! Starting today!
To me, only you are important! I write on this blog because of YOU, not me. I want you to learn how to make money on Squidoo and to be able to buy something for yourself with passive money later. Please, tell me what do you want to read on this blog, so I can post more about that topic.
I want to be honest with you and I want that you know more about me. I hope I can motivate you and I probably made some mistakes in the past, but that’s how we grow. Mistakes and failures make us stronger and smarter. I apologize if I done something bad.
The next article on this blog will be about image HTML codes, which you can use on your Squidoo lenses. I have this article ready for some time. I hope you’ll like it like I am.
I would be very honoured if we connect on Twitter, G+, Pinterest and Facebook. And I wish you all the best in the future! If you like the post I would really appreciate your support with spreading the word. Thank you!








Mitja! You are wonderful. Inspirational. And a great friend. I’m also good friends with Martin, and I know he’ll be very touched by your warm words.
Keep on writing! And do not worry about your English. You do fine.
Kath
Thank you Kathy! I really appreciate you and thanks for the support on Squidoo and here
Martin is GREAT!
Mitja–first of all, your English is amazing! Don’t ever be ashamed of the way you write.
I wanted to tell you how much you have helped me. I bought Squidoo Niche Blaster and didn’t quite understand all of the html–somehow, we started corresponding and you helped me sooo much. I made sales last year–really my first sales and this year I am even doing better.
I can’t wait for the next blog about html – - . Everyone is very helpful on Squidoo–but you go above and beyond. I am so happy you are doing so well at Squidoo–it has to be because of your helpful spirit.
Thank you so much Gayle, you always touch me deeply with your kind words! I’m trying
I was very happy for you when you made your first sale last year and I wish you many many more.
Yes, community on Squidoo is really nice and helpful, I love it.
Prepare for the new post, it will include useful HTML codes to use for images
I like your post! It’s very motivating. I’m very happy that someone share his knowledge with as, beginners. I can’t wait for the next blog about html – I need it
Thank you Sara, I appreciate that! I’ll do my best to teach you some HTML tricks with my next post
Sounds like you have some exciting postings planned for your faithful blog readers. I look forward to what you share.
Hey Virginia! Thank you for visiting my blog and you always leave a comment! I appreciate it! Yes, I hope everyone will like them
You also are a great inspiration for me and others. You’re doing very well on Squidoo and you have so many lenses! I hope I will have my own lenses close to your number 
You write really well, from the heart and that is what matters most. Yes, I think it is a good idea for you to keep up with your blog posts, add videos and all that. Don’t let what you perceive as bad English hold you back. The more you write, the better you will be! I look forward to receiving some html tips. I’m really bad at that and if you have some SEO tips, I’ll welcome that too, another thing I’m really bad at. lol. Thanks and keep writing.
Mumsgather, thank you for the kind words and for encouragement. After the support I got from all of you I’ll do that. I can’t wait to help everyone of you. It will be awesome
I will post about the SEO in the future as well. Thank you for the idea.
The best I have done with Squidoo in any given month is 3 figures. This year has been a lost worst in making money on Squidoo. You are doing something right! I will need to follow you more.
3 figures is great, too! Congrats! It’s important that you pick great keywords with low competition. Most of the time I create sales lenses. One keyword, one product (Keyword: Pokemon Costumes; article about that and there will be only costumes to buy on the lens). And you can go even more into the niche. Example: KW: Butterfree Costume (Pokemon character), and I will sell only this costume on the lens.
As long as I have been doing this, I think keywords are my downfall. Is it true that too many keywords is not good?
Keywords are really important. Yes, too many is not good. But long-tail keywords are great. Use 1-4, and with time the lens will get traffic for more competitive keywords as well.
What a wonderful post, Mitja! Your English is much better than my Slovene will ever be.
You know I am always happy for you and your successes. I think this will be a great holiday season for you and for many of us.
As always, congratulations on a job well done
Hi my dear Holley, how are you? Thank you! Yes, but English is a global language
It’s more important to know it than Slovene. It’s hard to learn Slovene, it’s a complicated language 
I know that and I’m always happy of your successes, I appreciate you very much!
OMG mitja, You are great!!
I needed that reminder: life is about sharing not about me… Sounds stupid true. And I used to live up to that but somehow last year trying to make some money from my lenses I “just” forgot about the sharing/helping part. I will do that too, especially online. Lets make the web a bit more friendly!
Thank you Rem Jel for your kind words! Yes, when you help other people you’ll get more good thing in return. People will also help you
I agree, let’s!
Cool blogpost, hope to see more posts from you after the Holidays. Rack up those sales and kill it this Christmas
GL!
Hi Bram and thank you! I will post new ones after the Holidays. But I’ll earn much more because of Halloween and not Christmas
Good luck to you, too!
