The SEO race is on – Coolest Woman on the Planet
You know there’s got to be a tongue in someone’s cheek, when the top phrase is Coolest Woman on the Planet. It all started as a joke several years ago, when I was teaching my son about SEO. The phrase “Coolest Woman on the Planet”, used as a quirk in that first lesson, became a [...]
You’re an AMAZING Person – Yes, You!
Okay, Kevin, I stole your line. But, I know you’ll forgive me for taking it away and using it again on my blog. I got the email today and I believe it was the nicest sales pitch I’ve ever gotten. I knew when I saw clicks.aweber in the address that it was a marketing ploy, [...]
Create a NEW – Old Passion – with Challenge
My boys were cleaning out a “corner of the attic” last week, you know, that corner where you store the things you really should have tossed out, but can’t bear to part with… That’s the one! My oldest son likes facebook, my space and internet networking, but he hasn’t yet got the hang of word-processing [...]
Angels Among Us – The Stories They Tell
I got caught up in a story yesterday and forgot who I was talking to. It doesn’t happen often, but on those rare occasions when I do that, I feel like death warmed over, stewed up in a pot, and served in the corral on a frozen bird with no cause to survive. It wasn’t [...]
Barter Your Way to Success
A few months ago I realized I had to fix the deck before winter. I’m terrible. I procrastinate even the simple things and it often gets me in trouble. So, the deck… After one side of it collapsed under the mealy false foundation, I figured it needed to be a real deck with a real [...]
My Schedule — Do you really want to know?
After a friend posted her schedule online, another friend asked me how much time I spend online marketing my business. I kept track this week, but… mostly, I let my work keep track for me. I’ve always been a night owl, so much of my work time is late night. After the kids are in [...]
Sister Dresses – The Joys of Parenting Girls
Remember when Sister Dresses were all the rage? I think I was about 4 when my sister and I first started wearing the Sister Dresses. They were little blue dresses with yellow flowers and pink ribbons. Seems like that was Easter. My girls wore Sister Dresses the first time for Easter, 1990. Pink and white [...]
Not all Comments add Value to Your Blog
When I started writing blogs, I accepted all comments. I thought the more comments I had on my blog, the better my blog looked. Then I realized some comments actually cut the value of my blog posts and have no real value themselves. Real commenters don’t leave two or three word comments, they actually say [...]
Online Business is ALL Scams
It wasn’t the first time I ‘d heard that line, but still it took me back. Standing in the vestibule with friends who know I work online, I heard two of them talking about how bored they were, unable to find summer jobs. I offered a few simple suggestions and realized I wasn’t getting anywhere. [...]
