The first week of the List Building and Blogging Challenge is over and it has truly been amazing. I am so pleased with the posts that I have been able to publish. But most importantly, I am so happy with all the people that I have met through this challenge.
This is a summary of what I got done since my last weekly roundup post.
Tasks Completed This Week
- Uploaded This Week’s Video
- Wrote & Published 5 Blog Posts
- Published 2 New Squidoo Lenses
- Worked on My PLR Business
- Added Aweber to This Website – My Stats So Far
Uploaded This Week’s Video
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my compare and contrasting vlogging videos from the last post. It is great to see how far I have come within the space of just 30 days. I hope that it inspires other people to switch on their webcams and record a short video too.
Join Tiffany’s Sunday Vlogging Session – we are all waiting to say hello.
Here’s todays video from me.
Wrote & Published 5 Blog Posts
I am glad that I got organised and set out a plan for the type of posts I wanted to write this week.
The first post was an introduction to me and this website, the next 3 were about how to make money with PLR and my efforts to build a PLR business.
The last post of the week was inspired by the Tiffany Dow community and their comments on her blog as well as here.
The posts written for week one were:
- What Does My Blog Have To Offer You
- How To Make Money With PLR
- PLR ATM Review – Make Money with PLR
- How To Make Money as a PLR Affiliate
- What I Have Learned from The 30 Day List Building & Blogging Challenge
Published 2 New Squidoo Lenses
The two lenses are connected this week and are in the beauty products arena. The first is about buying an Eyelash Curler online.
These look like lethal weapons but a lot of women use these everday. Again, I discovered lots of youtube videos on the subject of makeup application. 
The second lens is about Where To Buy False Eyelashes.
These have always been popular but celebrities like the TV reality stars have really helped increase sales.
Worked on My PLR Business
I have been busy editing some articles for my next PLR pack. I hope to get this ready for sale on Tuesday or Wednesday.
If you are a PLR seller and you would be interested in promoting this 10 article pack then sign up to my Affiliate Programme for the chance to earn 50% for every sale made through your link.
Added Aweber To This Website – My Stats So Far
I have joined the Aweber community and have added the Subscribe Forms in the side widget and at the end of my posts. After reading Patti Stafford’s and Bonnie Gean’s posts about analysing your stats, here is a quick summary.
Email Signups
Before the challenge I had 9 subscribers to this blog. I told you I needed this challenge! Since adding Aweber and interacting with this lovely online neighbourhood, I have 20 new subscribers, which I am chuffed about. Thank you people.
Sooooo if you like what you see here at My Daily Cuppa and would like to help bump up those numbers, simply use the subscribe box at the end of this blog post. No pressure
Well, it has been a busy, productive and successful week. I am all fired up for the next 5 days of the Freaking Fantastic Blog & List Building Challenge. I hope you are too.
Have Your Say: Are you happy with what you got done? Have you checked your stats? How are they doing? Are you prepared for the coming week? Let me know in the comments below.



LOL! Love that you went after Patti and Yoan!
Thanks for kicking their butts
You do so well with another job Victoria! I don’t know how y’all have the energy but I can’t wait for the day when you get to do this fulltime and I see another dance
LOL I just scared Yoan by telling him you called him out here, Hey Yoan! I agree w/Victoria – get butt in gear and blog, baby!

Tiff – the butt kicking was reserved for those who we know would do fantastically well in this challenge and they are just plainly denying us their wisdom and thoughts.
When I am no longer dependent on the Real World Job, you will most certainly see another happy dance

Victoria @ My Daily Cuppa recently posted..Weekly Roundup Vlog – What An Amazing Week it Has Been
Hi Victoria! Thanks for the kind comments regarding my “own comments” on Tiff’s blog! I do ramble on sometimes lol! Well, I am currently writing posts that will go onto my ghostwriting site and also working on building up lenses with the Squi Pro Quo! These are my big challenges for March! Watch that space! Just finished a second Squidoo lens for my ghostwriting services! Will read it and correct the typos tomorrow and then publish it! I see you’ve been doing well! Really well! I just gave your facebook page a thumbs up and will be seeing/ talking to you soon on Tiff’s blog! My, my, If I did a Vlog right now, It’d probably be censored…So, I’ll wait a bit! ::) Take care! Yoan ( yes, you pronounced it right)!
Hello Yoan and welcome to my blog!
I am so happy to hear that you are being so productive. I will let you off the Vlog making task – for now. lol.
Thanks for the Facebook thumbs up.
I look forward to more of your musings in Tiff’s comments as well as on your own site in the near (very near – hint hint) future.
Glad I pronounced your name right too.
You are such fun to watch. You have such a positive spirit and you know I love that accent. Loved the bit about the “real world job” got one of those myself.
I too look forward to the day when I can rise from my bed and head to the computer in my jammies. I really do enjoy this. It would be awesome to do something that you enjoy and make money at the same time.
Keep up the great work!

Thank you Cynthia. With all this positive attitude and support from the community, we are going to make this dream of working for ourselves come true.
Have a great week
Wow, you’re really getting good response! 11 new subscribers, that’s awesome Victoria!
You have such a wonderful way with words, so I am certain your PLR store will take off momentarily, too!

The 20 subscribers are from this challenge and using Aweber. The other 9 were previous subscribers. Sorry for the confusion. (Though I am waiting for those 9 to sign up again – Pretty please
Victoria, this is amazing and I do admire you. I am going to “borrow” your slogan, ex-procrastinator, if you don’t mind. You have described me to a T. In your email you mentioned Aweber. I still don’t know how to use it. I am doing good just to get an email sent out from there…lol. Keep these posts coming.
Well Ruth, I am glad it is not just me who is a little confused with Aweber. It is only because it is so new to us. After we have worked with it a while we will be professionals. lol
I am happy to share the slogan ex-procrastinator with anyone who wants to join.
Hi Victoria!
I am on your list! You go girl! Working and getting all your blogs done is Fantastic! I am like you been on the web awhile but still can’t do some simple thinks. Like the free gift. I can’t figure out how to upload that to my website. So that is my challenge this week. I am also learning about PLR and have set up my site so I will be checking out your PLR reviews.
I am meeting some Great people! Can’t wait to look around your site.
