Busy Momma

Kelly is at it again. I swear she just goes through my sites and then creates products that I must have. This time she has nailed it though. It is all about hitting your local market with blog design. Like me Kelly loves Wordpress! So this coaching will all be designed around using WP.

Now my partner and I already have Easy WAHM Websites with site design, but I would love to step into the local market.

It does honestly bother me to go to local sites and see how bad they look or even worse, major stores or service shops don’t have a site at all.

Blog Evangalists has been created to walk you through the whole business. You don’t even have to have your business up and running yet. This 12 month coaching program will take you step-by-step on how to market, create your site, blogging ideas to get your clients going and so much more.

You really need to check out Blog Evangalists if you are in the service industry and love to help small businesses.

My friend Christina is undergoing major changes on her coaching site. Starting July 1st the VIP membership will be increased to $17 a month. Major upgrades will go into effect at this time and VIP members can enjoy the following benefits along with many others.

Monthly tele-class schedule (included)
Quarterly e-course to help you become even more irresistible (included)
Instant online coaching (I can’t say more than that because it’s top secret - it is included in monthly investment and it’s super cool!)

Until July 1st you can sign up for a VIP membership at only $7 a month! You will be grandfathered in when all the new features come into affect. I just can’t wait to get the added benefits. I’m getting well over $7 in value a month right now.

So if you’d like to make sure you stay an Irrisistiable Woman then sign up for VIP membership now while it is at a huge discount. Then look into all the great coaching options she has in the new online store.

Well a lot of stuff has gone down this week. One of which is the fact that the only other trainer for both our gyms gave notice. Supposedly he will be there through July, but year right. That NEVER happens. So I will be working both gyms and trying to manage that.

Then online has been awesomely busy! Our Mom Chat Rooms have been super busy. I had to take over doing the scheduling this week and faked the newsletter because my partner Lauren had lightening hit by or on her house and her computer was down. THANK YOU GOD that the modem was the only thing broke and it only took a week to figure this out. I am so thankful!

I had new clients with sites to be completed and also some VA work for a new service I am helping on. Then there is the new biz venture of affiliate managing that my friend and other biz partner on My WAHM Space have started. She will be doing the majority of the work for a while since I’ll be busy offline. But I will be doing a lot of behind the scenes contract work.

That is all just the tip of the iceberg. It’s crazy summer busy around here and I need to bring my laptop around more so I can blog offline more and then just put it up for you all to read.

Happy SUMMER!!! I live for this shit~!

What is up with the no sleep? I’m noticing a pattern here. The longer he has worked with the department the less I sleep when he is gone. I’m not conscientiously worried about him at work. But I’m just not sleeping well if he’s not home. Here it is 1:18am and I’m still up and ready to stay up for hours.

I am working on a possible new form of some serious income. If both new things pan out then I can work all hours of the day and nite with no worries. I know I’ve been doing these morning appointments for a long time now and that is so not like me. I’ve been doing 4-5 days a week of getting up at 4 and 5am. HOLY CRAP! I’ve been doing this for over 6 months. Now some of you are going so what, I do that all the time? Well, I am not a morning person, I’m a nite owl. So I am frequently up until 1 or 3am. An early nite for me is 10:30 lol.

I love my job and I love my clients, but I’m not sure how long I can do these mornings. Although, hmmm, these mornings bring me in $900-$1200 a month for 1 - 2 hours of work 4 early mornings a week. AHHHH, put it that way and I’ll get my lazy ass up. Boy just putting that number out there says a lot doesn’t it? DUH, it’s totally worth getting up and taking a nap later during the day. It’s a weird schedule, but I guess I’m weird so I’ll make it work. Thanks for listening! LOL

I’ve decided to be the better person and not get into an argument on a friends message boards.  There is a certain person online that constantly has to put down other people.  I do believe that may be the definition of a bully?  Putting down other people to make yourself feel better.  Any time you contradict what she is saying she is all defensive and sooner rather than later the who “I’m a single mother that has made a ton of money with my businesses while raising my children, blah, blah, blah, SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

I’m not even going to get into the single mom thing in this post because then it would be too long and no one would read it, but beware, it’s coming soon.

So today this woman totally attacked another poster.  I mean no holds barred, mean.  Now I have been brought up that if you want someone to change their views you give them knowledge.  You don’t attack them and tell them how stupid they are.  This will only lead them to tune out out.  DUH

But it was brought up that we don’t have to read her posts.  You’re right, I don’t.  Unfortunately this means that I will no longer be frequenting a lot of different boards.  It has been hours since I read the posts she put up and I’m still pissed.  I don’t have the energy to waste on someone with so much hate in them.  I bet if she got laid she’d be a much happier person!

So I’m being bigger and I’m posting here.  I will contact the owner of the boards and let them know about this attack because I’m pretty sure it says in the agreement that you can’t attack other posters like she did.  But either way, I will make sure that I am on boards from now on that she is not on.  I can’t get away from it on a couple of boards and they were my home first so she can’t chase me away from them anyway.  lol

K, I am doing very well. Just to let all of you know.

But we are holed up watching movies. We are actually running out of them now. lol Had to move to home stash now even though I had 6 movies to watch starting Friday.

But this works because my addiction has made me buy a new site. OH OH, yep it’s a great domain name though. I’ll be unveiling very soon. I’m just waiting for the dns to transfer to my hosting and to get a couple of pages up. Honestly it was sorely neglected for years and there wasn’t much up.

When I go to the pages cached in google it looks like there were many more pages, but they aren’t linked to anymore from the site.

So it needed serious updating and I’m looking forward to it!

Do I have to keep working? Do I really? I hate when I get like this. I love my job, I really do. But it is draining. 24/7 draining. I am in a high maintenance industry. I understand that. There are weeks that I make multiple calls and innumerable texts to clients every day of the week to keep them on track or get them back on track depending on the weekend.

Don’t get me wrong, I do this for more than the money. I honestly love to help and I know that I am in the only thing keeping some of them working towards their goal of weight loss and being healthier. But the early hours are starting to get to me. That and the lack of knowing what my exact monies from month to month. If they go on vacation, then that is a week with no pay from them. Very difficult and I know I need to grab a couple more clients to help keep my sanity.

That and I need to get more of my sites rockin. I put up a new ebook called The Scrap Facts Guide. This will help you get started scrapbooking and get you creating albums in no time!

I have other ebooks to finish up and get loaded. I need more automation and more of this stuff loaded and not just sitting on my computer. Time to work my VA like she wants me to! lol

So how do you like it?

I know it’s darker, but I really like it. I’m going to go through and adapt some of the things and make it my own. Now that I know how to fix things when I break them. Oh wait, that was the easy part, copy the page before you alter it. lol

It’s been difficult to find magazine style themes that will show all the posts. I’m working on it slowly. But I’m very happy that I can now do some of the changes needed on my own themes. Loretta has been doing all of our themes at Easy WAHM Websites and I’m more of the writing part. I need to break out of my graphicly challenged hell and I really want to learn to do all of that. It’s just a very big learning curve for me. lol

So hopefully you will see some very basic free themes coming up here soon.

We all know how powerful blogs can be, but sometimes keeping up with your own blog can be a bit of a challenge. I know I can have a heck of a time some weeks.

Alice Seba just posted a highly-useful freebie to her blog. It’s a pre-recorded webinar that discusses the concept of joint blogging which allows you to work with other bloggers for maximum promotion at minimal effort. Keeping new content flowing is a big key to having a successful blog. Listen in on how this may be just the option you were looking for.

Together with Lynette Chandler, Kelly McCausey & Carrie Lauth these savvy women discuss the benefits of joint blogging and how to get started yourself. This 47+ minute audio comes with complete audio transcripts and you can download both at no-charge and without any obligation at:

Play the audio while you write up blog posts and then go back over it with the transcript. I’ve already got some great ideas I’m ready to run with.

I’m a report junky. Reports give me great information in a short format so I can read it in one sitting and get work done still.

With blogging being a big passion I am constantly on the look out for information about blogging. Alice has opened up a new coaching just for bloggers called Blogging Bootcamp and has released a few free products as promotions. If you can’t afford her coaching, you can afford to take the great info and use it to promote your blog to it’s fullest.

The first report is about establishing your expertise.
* Why being seen as an expert is a good thing
* How just about anyone can be an expert in something
* How to leverage that expertise to build their business

Download the report and find out more information on the Blogging Bootcamp. There are very limited spaces available in the coaching and the sign up closes on March 7th. So don’t procrastinate or the class will close.
