I really wanted to have a really cool post since my very good friend Maddi over at www.maddiction.com has sent his readers over here for a visit, but….I was looking at my blog and realized my posts weren’t showing up!

So I had to fix it NOW!!

Some of my posts didn’t have their images, some of them had some extra HTML stuff in there and weren’t showing up at all and last week was the all-hell-broke-loose week and my whole blog was overtaken by my new squeeze page and I had to figure that out!! It was the index file.  Index means first page, no? ( I am so gonna learn this stuff if it KILLS ME!!!)

Who woulda thunk a blog has so many things that can go crazy??

It used to be something so simple like I would try to center something and not have the close tag on there and the whole blog was centered. Or bold! Have you even seen a blog and it gets bold and stays that way???? Those were some crazy days!! HELP!!

A little of what I have been doing this week besides my usual social butterfly-ness…..although I did meet some really cool folks!!!

I wrote about 8 pages of my ebook, it’s gonna ROCK so stay tuned for that one. =)

Signed up for Onlywire , we’ll see how that goes. It’s that little bookmark and share icon thingy after all the posts. Y’all can share my posts everywhere!! Hopefully that will generate some traffic!

I went through Dean Holland and Adam Spiel’s Turbo Traffic System to see if it’s something I will promote and yes, it is and it ROCKS!! If you are into niche websites, it is something you should look at!!

Speaking of niche websites…. I started setting up my new niche site for iPhone and Androids. Also got a really awesome quote on making my site mobile friendly so when y’all can check me out on the mobile phone…I will let you know!

Got a free trial version of Market Samurai, going to have to get the full version! It does all kinds of research for me that I have been doing myself!! No wonder I don’t have any time! (Maybe I need to learn to outsource!!)

Signed up for a blog traffic getting site and all I got was a virus. Not gonna do THAT any more! DUH!

Also got set up on the Google Webmaster Tools which is how I found out my blog was acting up!

And then I set up a Blogger blog for traffic generation purposes so I will have to get that going soon.

This was all after working all day and taking care of 6 kids! Used to be 5, now we have a grand baby!!

Oh and also got a chewing from my mentor John Thornhill, but it’s all good…..I needed it!!

Hope y’all are having an amazing day! PLEASE Leave comments and send traffic, I am still in the traffic contest and  I wanna WIN!!!!

P.S. I have had 159 visits, since May 23! YAY! Not in the thousands, but Rome wasn’t built in a day!! (or a week!!)

A little info on what’s happening in Tommy Mclaughlins Masterclass. First of all…I am having a BLAST!!
Tommy is so thorough and he leaves nothing out!! The coolest being that he tells everything he knows! We have gone over blog set up, Profit funnels and on to traffic!

You can have the coolest blog or website and if you don’t get any traffic to it, it kind of defeats the purpose of having a really cool site!

There are so many IM’ers who are so skanky and in their business for themselves only and they bombard you with emails that are selling crap and it just gets crazy!! Tommy is not like that. When he told me he was having a class, I jumped right in! The way he does things, whether it be sending emails, chatting on Skype, or walking a newbie through step by step set up of a blog or website is amazing!

I took to Tommy the minute I met him and I thought… this guy is for real. AND he has a wonderful accent!! (Hmmm……maybe I am the one with the accent??)

Alrighty then…. Back to class….

Week 1 was setting up blogs. I learned how to do that last year with Tommy’s wonderful help and Dean Holland’s Starting with Marketing class. BUT…and that is a very big BUT…he has shown me so much more of what I DIDN’T learn! Things like WP Blog Dashboard management (didn’t even know that exists!) Adsense themes (another one I didn’t know existed)

Week 2 was a big surprise! Tommy got us all set up on our profit funnels and how to get started making some money. A little techy for me, but like I said…he goes over EVERYTHING!! Step by step! For non techys like me! He is truly dedicated to getting folks up and running! AND his wife just had a baby! How’s that for dedication?

Week 3 I am very excited about…it’s all about traffic and we are having a contest and whoever gets the most traffic gets a truly awesome prize!! Hopefully that’s gonna be me!! (With your help! YAY!)

SEND ME TRAFFIC!!

I actually got a little behind in class, had a family emergency for a few days, but Tommy graciously offered to help me get caught up! Now with almost a hundred people in this class….that is an amazing offer!! Yay! Tommy!!

I feel sorry for the folks who didn’t see the value of this class, or if you wanted to get in and didn’t. Y’all missed out! Hopefully, he will have it again and everyone who wants to get started online can get in and reap the wonderful rewards of his knowledge and expertise!

I am very glad I did!

Have fun!!

Ever talk to someone or read what they write and it makes you want to do better?  I have.  I really want to be better. Online, offline, better for me, better for you, just all around a better person. Not that I wasn’t good in the first place, I just want to be better. Not just do better but BE better.

I have thought about it for a while now and it makes me want to erase everything and start over, because I CAN do better.

Crazy, huh?

I have been online for a year now, I know because my domain name expired last week and I freaked out.

I have tried other people’s ways and different things; I have learned a lot and made some really awesome, amazing friends.

But someone else’s way of doing things are not my ways. I don’t want to be like everyone else. I want to be like me!

So here I am.

Me.

Very outspoken and very real.

Cool.

Do you need to lose weight? Maybe you are a Little Fatty Mc FatFat? Or just a Chunky Monkey?? Maybe you even decided to lose weight and go to those weekly consultations ? Do you get there, weigh in and they tell you “Yippee! you’ve lost .2 pounds?”  How does that REALLY make you feel?   .2 pounds…in a week?? Hate to say it but….I lose that in a day! In fact I lose more than that in a day! YAY!! AND I am NOT HUNGRY!

Let me get his out of the way first. I am NOT a doctor, diet master, guru, fitness gal or anything like that. I am just a hungry gal who wants and needs to lose a few pounds. OK, OK more than a few, but be nice!!

I started another round on my weight loss protocol about 3 weeks ago and have managed to lose another 15 pounds(and counting!) How’s that for cool? (I actually didn’t realize I was so FAT!) I don’t exercise, I have a full time job sitting in front of a computer and come home to kids I need to cook and care for and then back to the computer, so my life is not a series of treadmills and stairmasters! In fact, the only exercise I get is walking to my car at lunch time to go EAT! And I lose from a half pound to a pound a day. Cool.

Like I said in another post,  I have been a chunk for a few years now and nothing worked! This Diet Works! I just do what I am told and I am losing weight! And we’re talking nasty fat… not muscles!

Cool thing is if you decide to lose weight with this diet, there is a forum where you can talk to other folks who are in the same boat as you are! Other folks who are sick and tired of being fat!

If you are serious about losing weight, you should at least LOOK at this Diet Protocol. If you are overweight, you need to get serious about losing it!

We are a generation of FAT PEOPLE and it doesn’t have to be that way! YAY!

I am living proof!

This is amazingly easy and if y’all want more information, just email me or comment below and I will get you all the info you need. Here is what the Doctor has to say!

Take care and have an amazing day!!

JV Giveaways, ad-swaps, opt-ins, we’ve heard it all the time! The money is in the list!! Well, yes, and no…if your list is non-responsive, then…..well you’re gonna have to go out and get a real job! What good is having a list of 5000 when the click through rate is nada??
Giveaway’s are for list building. You give away a free report or ebook in exchange for a persons email address. And your list grows!
Ad-swaps  are JV partners that mail freebies and reports to each others lists, and they opt in and your list grows!!
These folks who are opting into your list from Giveaways and Adswaps might be used to the freebies, so when you send out a mailing of the coolest hottest new product…..they aren’t interested! Some of them may be. Most of them probably aren’t!
Now don’t get me wrong, I love Giveaway events, especially when Paul Teague puts them on, but really are these subscribers real customers or just freebie seekers??

Freebie seekers are not a bad thing, they can bridge the gap in your mailing list.
But don’t you want real double opt in list with customers and subscribers that really want what you have to offer?

Then you need to make an awesome, never-before-seen over-the-top product OF YOUR OWN! When that person buys your awesome, never-before-seen over-the-top product, then they are your customer and probably will be for life!!
Now I am not talking trash on the freebies..I like a good free ebook like everyone else! In fact I have quite a few!

People who have bought from you before and were happy with your product because YOU OVER DELIVERED will more than likely buy from you again! It’s that simple.

Now when you make your awesome, never-before-seen over-the-top product, you can talk with some JV partners (in the same niche as you are) that have a big mailing list, because they have awesome,never-before-seen over-the-top products and offer them affiliate commissions to promote your awesome, never-before-seen over-the-top product to their list. Then you will grow your uber responsive mailing list!

Once you have that mailing list, you can send them free reports and info and helpful things to build a relationship with them and keep them wanting more of what you have to offer!
So that’s where I am headed. I am going to make my own awesome, never-before-seen over-the-top product, and with John Thornhills help…it’s gonna ROCK!!
So although we all know the money is in the list, maybe we better slow down a minute and make sure that list is for life!

Take care and have an amazing day!!

WHEW! we are already starting week 12 of the masterclass!! 12 weeks…thats 3 months!! Woah!
For the past 3 weeks we have been looking up niches and researching our particular niche. There is so much I want to do I have been having a rough time finding one!
There are so many ways to find a profitable niche. Ya think I would have found one by now! But, I don’t want just any ole niche. I want the coolest and most serving niche there is! THAT’S why I have been having a hard time.
So I have it narrowed down to 2 of my passions…blogging (helping new bloggers) and…going green! Saving our planet and reusing what we have!
I have a few friends who blog and don’t know anything about setting up a blog or updating it to make it very personal and unique. So they just use the regular blogs like blogger.com and wordpress.com. These folks really want to get started with their own domain and brand. There are a lot of Internet Marketers who do the blogging and set up, but I really want to show people who are not in the IM niche how they can make a blog and blog about THEIR passion. Like beauty, or shoes, movies, dogs or maybe even baseball…anything they just want to tell the world about!

I also have a passion for our planet and the way we live. Like reusing things and solar energy. Did you know the sun can make more energy in a day than we can in a lifetime? We just need to know how to channel the suns energy for good use.
I am in the process of making a solar heater for our new pool. Cool. Pool.
Next up is some solar power to run our appliances.

What have you done to realize your passion? Are you having a problem finding your niche in this great planet we call home?

Let me know…maybe I can help you! The Good Lord knows I have been researching for a while now!

Take care and have an amazing day!
