Blogging Bootcamp
Finally, Get Your Easy-to-Manage Prosperous Blog
If you’re like me, you created a blog because you heard it was a great way to promote your business. The trouble is, without a system in place it can be tough to keep up with your blog and to expertly use your blog as a sales tool that doesn’t alienate your interested readers. Boy, do I know all about that trouble.
The good news is that there IS a way to stay active with your blog, develop a tight relationship with your readers AND have your readers turn into buyers – without losing your mind in the process.
In fact, Alice Seba & Lynette Chandler (two of my favorite blogging for business authorities) have put together an intensive 4-week bootcamp to help you clear all the hurdles in having a prosperous blog.
The bootcamp includes one-on-one customized help as you complete the weekly lessons and is a MUST for anyone looking for better results from their blogging.
I hope you’ll join me at Blogging Bootcamp!

I’m here to happily report that my virtual assistant business is picking up! I’ve been working hard at getting my name out there, especially in the area of writing! Since opening the doors so-to-speak to my Virtual Assistant Business on June 1 of 2008, I have discovered my passion for writing. I’ve been blogging since 2004 on my personal blog, and enjoy it, but didn’t really discover what a passion I had for it until I started writing for another blog.
Shortly after landing that first writing job, I was asked to write for yet another blog! Then I decided I wanted to start another blog of my own, geared toward other work at home moms so I started Efficient WAHM. Then about 2 or 3 weeks after getting Efficient WAHM up and running, I started yet ANOTHER blog called Open Talk Mom, joined another mom site, Type-A Mom, of which I am now the editor for the Grandmother’s Stage. To top that off, I also started writing for They Call Me Wahmmy where I get to write about all things teen!
Now I’ve been asked by a highly prestigious, very well know WAHM, to be part of her team!!! I’m so excited!
So people, if you’ve started a work at home business, but it hasn’t taken off yet, hang in there, get your name out there, show off your talent to other folks. If you’re determined and persistent enough, it will happen for you too!
If you’d like more tips on how to market yourself and get your name out there, contact me and I will help you!

Just Downloaded Mine…
It’s a good day when I see it’s the third Saturday of each month. That’s when I can go download my Sweetie Saturday Report Club goodies. The Report Club is put together by Alice Seba and is an affordable way to receive concise, no-fluff, no fad guidance for your online business.
This month’s report is all about podcasting – and was put together guest writer and podcaster Kelly McCausey. The quick guide shows you why should start podcasting (and it doesn’t require a huge time commitment, technical knowledge or funding), how to find your audience, put your podcast together and profit from it.
But that’s not all I got…Alice also puts together her monthly Essential Biz Notes which are personal thoughts, ideas and strategies from her about online business. Once again, she gave me a virtual boot kicking and shares her Top 5 Tips for Staying (or Becoming) Successful in 2009.
Anyway, I’ve got some more reading to do…and then get some work done. Click here to learn more about this month’s reports and the Sweetie Saturday Report Club.
