Are you ready to take on the day or could you use an extra hour or two to find your capability to function? I’ve never been a true morning person. Sure, I can get up early when I need to but the thought of sleeping in never seems to register with my body on the weekends. Still, I try to make the most of it and go about what I need to do to get myself and my kids ready for the day. And for me that means having…

Is Network Marketing a Good Fit for Moms Who Want to Work at Home?

As you know, I’m making the transition from being a stay at home mom to being a work at home mom. The transition hasn’t always been easy as I’m also trying to figure out what the base of my work will be. Sure, it may seem simple enough- brainstorm a list of ideas for working at home and then go from there. But that’s in theory and sometimes theory is a lot easier than putting everything into action. I’ve had many business ideas in the past, most of which never came to fruition. And that was all for lack of taking action. So if there’s anyone to blame for my non-business success? It’s me. So why is it different now? Why do I still feel…

In blogging, as we’re all aware, there are many types of posts. Some are certainly more effective than others when it comes to getting a point across or sharing a fabulous recipe. Some posts may require more pictures and some posts may be more word heavy. Then there are the heart tugging posts or the emotionally laden posts that touch us to the very core. Or rile up our anger and desk chair protester. Writing is at the heart of blogging, there’s really no way of getting around that. In order to do what we do as bloggers, we must write. What we write about depends on our niche and our interests, of course. And that may even affect how we write. One of the…

Can you believe that it’s already July? This year is half over and while part of me feels incredibly accomplished… there’s a part of me that knows that I still have so much to do! I was never one to fully buy into the “summer slump” when it came to blogging. And though my numbers are down from last month, I’m not too concerned. That said, I’m going to follow the same format as I did last month. You can read my past income reports (though only last month’s included traffic) and I’m also going to review/recap my traffic from the beginning of the year to the end of this month. Income and Expenses for June June saw my first payment from Mediavine and payments…

Is developing a brand really that important for a blogger? This is something that I’ve asked myself countless times over the past few months.

I treat my blog like a business because it’s part of my business. Because of that, I want to develop a brand for it that’s memorable. But what makes a brand memorable? Is it the logo, the tagline, the colors, the mood? What are the essential elements to include for a memorable brand? There are basically seven elements you can incorporate into your brand building strategy. We’re going to…

Okay, so while I’ve been sporadic with posting my monthly goals (May Goals & February Goals), I also haven’t posted an income report since February… which was really the income report for January. I would love to tell you that this is more of a priority for me, but it isn’t. Yes, I do enjoy sharing and I enjoy answering any questions… so maybe that will give me the motivation I need. Anyway. From here one out, when I remember to do them, these reports will be broken down as such: Previous month’s income received and expenses out Previous month’s traffic Goals for next month So let’s get started!
