What Happened to Lissie?

She hasn't been around in a while. I don't see her on the author list either. Did she throw in the towel?

She's still here - and all her Wizzles.

Good to know. She must be doing a lot of writing.

Lol, Lissie is fine, we chat occasionally on Skype / by email ;-) As far as I know she is busy with dancing over the Easter week, I'll send her the link to this thread and tell her she is missed on Wizzley ;-) And you can always find her newest ramblings on http://lissowerbutts.com/ ;-)

Thanks Sam!

Hi peeps! 

I took 4 days off the Interwebs - we call it Easter around here, or specifically a large out of town dance comp that we danced in! 

But I have been focussed on a new site of mine. Travel has always been my passion but I've never really figured out how to make money from a travel site!  And over the years I've seen quite a number of successful travel sites who are written by people who have very little travel experience compared to me (I do have 30 years!) 

So I have taken the leap and set up Lis'sTravelTips.com - its all a bit scary because I'm actually trying to build my own brand based on my expertise and writing skills - something I've never consciously done. (The site Sam linked to was a complete accident - really - I didn't develop it consciously to what it is now). 

I now have the site looking OK and have done some keyword research - in fact I now have some search traffic which is exciting. But I am also trying to develop a social following - so I am trying to incorporate traditional "blogging" - (not kw focussed articles - just stuff that people want to read and more importantly engage with) into a site which has information that people are actually searching for. I think it would be a great trick to pull off - but I've not seen a site actually do it to any great extent! 

Yes, she must be very busy as I too have missed seeing her around.  Hope you're living large and kicking around the dance floor

There you are Lissie. Something didn't seem right around here and I realized you were missing. It sounds like you have some exciting things going.

LOL I didn't even think i'd been that noisy on this site! I will pop in from time to time to annoy you guys promise! 

Lissie,

Just visited your new site, it's inspirational! Good Luck and thank you for all your travel and sharing.

Best to you,

Laura
