Time To Refocus Your Profitable Plan

August 1, 2009 By

So now that you have recognized you have gotten caught up and off track, where do you go next? For me it’s back to basics. To the brainstorming ball with pen in hand and ready to write down my ideas and goals. Time to figure out what it is that I want to be focusing on and where I want to be financially in 3, 6, 12 months and beyond.

While I still need to fulfill my agreement for product reviews I’ve already received, I am making it part of my plan. I have it written right in there what reviews I have left, when I will be making them live, and looking at it as a reminder of where I don’t want to be again.

So what else is on my ‘here we go’ plan?

  • Refocus Content- as I mentioned before I want content that is respected and read because of the content itself – not because there is a giveaway attached
  • Refocus Layout- for me it’s like getting a haircut, a new style can give you a whole new outlook on life and pump up your self-esteem
  • Refocus Affiliates- it’s about building that network of income that can continue to grow, even while you sleep, take a vacation, or even head out to the playground
  • Refocus Tools- how many times I have kicked myself for not using the tools available to me is just not funny, there are so many great places out there that I’m a member of that I just don’t utilize as I should
  • Refocus Time- sitting behind the computer screen 24/7 playing on social networks may gain me a few ‘friends’, but it’s not going to get me anywhere on my path to profits. Being able to focus time and energy in focused places in the proper portions is where I need to be

Next time, let’s break down these refocus goals one by one and together see where we can go! Do you have any additional areas of refocus you are working on?

Glossary: Forum

July 21, 2009 By

An Internet forum is a place on the Internet for holding discussions. Normally, forum members will either discuss one specific topic or have a common thread among all of the members.

For example, Mom Masterminds is a discussion group for Work At Home Moms where we discuss not only business related topics, but parenting, budgeting, time-management and even give each other the much needed support for owning and running a business from home.

Forums allow individuals to really connect with one another across distances using the Internet. Unlike e-mail, messages posted to the forum will be viewable by all forum members. In fact, information posted on forums is part of the public knowledge for years to come. This is one of the reasons why being a member of Mom Mastermind’s is so great: there may be a tip or idea that was posted on the forum 4 years ago, but it’s perfect for your situation right now.

Forums are supported by many different software platforms, and are very user friendly. For a lot of Internet newcomers, forums are their first entry into using the Internet. Some of the other common terms for forums are web forums, discussion forums, bulletin boards, message boards, discussion boards and discussion groups.

My Final Thoughts from Blissdom

February 9, 2009 By

My thoughts from Blissdom seem to be neverending, which is certainly good for you! Be sure to read thoughts from Day One and the first half of Day Two. I wanted to share more from Day Two, including the Branding: You, Your Blog, Your Business session, as well as the Book Deals: The Inside Story session.

Many mom bloggers, especially those just starting out do not realize it but by creating a blog, a look for your blog and a few blog posts you are in the process already of creating your “brand“. And, in addition to that you have the opportunity and the ability to make that into a business, if you so choose.

This can be done through the other things that were mentioned at Blissdom, including affiliate marketing and working with companies, or even through a book deal as I will also touch on. [Read more...]

Learning From Those Who Have Been There

December 19, 2008 By

As a mother you know that glazed look your friends with no children get when you talk about your trials with potty training, latest place you found peanut butter (and it wasn’t in the kitchen), and how you would never trade in your life with kids for hers. Its a familiar glazed look cause you have had it yourself and now you know when you need to know how to get gum out of hair you will consult other parents that have been there.

It’s the same in the business world, and blogging can be a business. Just read through some of the posts here at Profitable Mommy Blogging and listen to the podcasts and you will understand that there is more to this then just typing and a nice looking blog.

So where do you go to ask for help in the business world? Me- I choose to consult upon the amazing brain power at Mom Masterminds. When I say brain power- I mean it. Some of the biggest names of work at home moms are Mastermind Graduates. [Read more...]
