All these years I’ve sat behind my computer screen… all by myself… feeling like I had to do it ALL myself.  I felt like I had to figure it out all myself, and just muscle my way through everything until I got it right. Well… that’s partially my personality, and it’s partially because there weren’t many people out there to follow when I first got started online. That is no longer the case… at all. You may know I recently switched up my business model. The biggest thing I had to adjust to... Read Full Story

Since I had my "baby" 5 years ago I've been trying to lose weight. I've read and read a lot of different books, and tried a lot of different ways to lose weight. While some things worked, they never worked for the long haul. Then I found the Body By Vi challenge, and I got really excited. I joined the 90 day challenge, and set my goal to lose 30 pounds over the next 90 days. This lens is my journal of my first 90 day Body by Vi Challenge. Stop back by over the next 90 days to see how things... Read Full Story

We’ve been talking social media all month and I’ve managed to write every post about Facebook. I had an interesting conversation with someone the other day. I was saying to me Facebook is the more serious, business site and Twitter was the fun, cocktail party kind of site. When I say that I mean I feel uncomfortable posting something about watching the Bachelor, or Grey’s Anatomy on Facebook, and yet I can have an hour long conversation about it, back and forth with a bunch of people on...

Let’s start this off with this… it is a process, not a one time event. Facebook traffic will take some consistent effort on your part ~ but it can happen in just a few minutes a day. Here’s the steps to take if you’re going to consistently use Facebook to drive traffic back to your site. 1. Set up a fanpage. Yes, you’re going to want to set up a fanpage, because if you’re going to be talking “business” you don’t necessarily want it cluttering up your profile page. You also want to be... Read Full Story

So many internet marketers look at social media with some disdain or even as a complete waste of time. I’m here to disagree… although that wasn’t always the case. Here’s the deal… Times are CHANGING… social media is no longer about wasting time, and just making friends, it’s now one of the best ways to drive traffic, AND, a great way to get your blog coming up in the search engines. You don’t think Google created its own social media site for nothing right? Google searches are changing... Read Full Story

This was going to be a post about social media. That was the plan for today. However, sometimes life has a way of handing you things that get you thinking and doing social media the “right” way seems just a little less important (but I will write that post don’t worry). Anyway… yesterday a friend of our passed away. It was sudden and unexpected. She was quite young and it got me thinking. It’s so easy to get all wound up and wrapped up in the computer, in the online world, in how to build... Read Full Story

Here it is almost a new year, and I’m sure you have big plans for your blog and your business. As we discussed last week having a strategic business plan going into the new year is always key. This week we’re going to take that plan and put it into practice! Because action is where your profits come from. If you’re creating an authority type site, whether it’s about a niche in general or even product reviews, your content is the foundation of your site. If you’re not creating new content...

It’s that time of year again… the time where I start creating a strategic business plan for the upcoming year. I do it every year… in fact, it’s one of my favorite things to do. It’s also one of the most crucial pieces of the puzzle going in to a new year. I’ve created these business plans a little differently each year I’ve done business, some years have worked better than others. The one element that’s always stayed the same is looking back over the past year to see what worked, and what... Read Full Story
