My squidoo progress
Come with me on my journey to make money online.
I'll keep track of my progress on Squidoo here. I have set some easy goals such as making my first Amazon sale and some much harder ones like having the #1 lens on Squidoo. I wonder if I can actually do it? It would be amazing to even get on Squidoo's front page. Follow along with me and why not start your own progress journal to keep track or your journey on Squidoo.
Why am I doing this?
I'm a 31 year old Canadian English Teacher in South Korea looking to retire early and scuba dive my life away. I'm convinced that if I'm going to retire early, and pursue my dream, I need to start establishing sources of passive income. That is money coming in, that I don't necessarily have to work for. Of course, it takes a bit of effort to set it up and maintain it, but it's not a direct correlation between an hour worked and an hour of pay. I started investing in Dividend paying stocks a couple years ago, and that is going well. I earn over $200/month and keep investing more money. I hope to reach $500/month in the next few years and hopefully $1000 in the next 10.
My second project is Squidoo. I'm a newbie, having just started in December 2010, but I'd like to make this a second viable source of passive income. Here are my goals and if I achieve them.
Wish me luck!

Making Squidoo Niches
A niche is simply a collection of lenses that are closely related to one another, but not exactly the same. By linking them all together, you can get much higher Google rankings than just having lenses that are unrelated to anything else you've done. My goal is to have 20 niches, with at least 10 lenses in each one.
Niche #1: ESL Teaching
NIche #2: South Korea
Niche #3: Dividend Stock Investing
Niche #4: Scuba Diving
Niche #5: Easter
Niche #6: Healthy, frugal living
Niche #7: Gift Baskets
Niche #8: Ipad covers and keyboards
