FREE Mom PLR
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Simple Free Beginning Affiliate Marketing Guide
Friday, August 21st, 2009My friend Nicole Dean (who I recently met in person after several years of online acquaintance) has put together a fabulous and FREE quick guide to getting started with affiliate marketing.
When people ask what I do, and I answer “affiliate marketing”, I either get a glazed look in response, or questions.
What’s that?
Typically people seem curious about the possibility of earning money without having to develop a product of their own.
But how do you get started?
Instead of conducting your own search and getting bogged down in way too much info, start here.

Enjoy!

Meeting Elizabeth and Nicole
Thursday, August 20th, 2009It’s too much fun to get out and meet fellow internet entrepreneurs and work at home moms.
Last week I met fellow podcasters and Mom Masterminds members Elizabeth Ashe and Nicole Dean (finally – I’ve known Nicole for about 6 years now and she is one of my favorite, most inspiring and informative online mentors) while they were attending the Niche Affiliate Marketing seminar here in Atlanta.
Their hotel was less than a mile from my home so I dropped by to say hello. I wish I could have stayed longer, but unfortunately had a funeral to attend that afternoon.
Here’s a pic of me, the kids and Nicole:
Here’s another one of Nicole, Elizabeth and me with my sons looking bored out of their minds. 
And here is one of Tracy Roberts of MomsInaBlog, Regina Baker of WahmCart and Elizabeth. Unfortunately I didn’t get to stay long enough to find Tracy and Regina, but here’s a virtual hug to the two of you!
The Hardest Part
Thursday, July 16th, 2009
The other day Vincent, a Twitter friend (who I just met last weekend offline) sent me a direct message.
He wanted to know more about blogging.
“I just came across your website(s). (Oh, Google.) Love to talk about blogging/passive income someday. I’ve had an idea for a blog since forever but have yet to do anything. Would love to talk to you about how you maintain a schedule, etc. Just process sort of stuff.”
- @Volfro of BigSweaterDesign
My first thought was, umm… what can I teach a young single guy about time management? Haha!
My idea of time management is figuring out how to get work done with 4 kids underfoot.
But then I realized.
Maybe I AM the best person to teach someone about productivity. After all, if I can manage profitable blogs in 15 minute increments, anyone can. 
Speaking of 15 minute increments…. that was actually a tip I picked up from Nicole Dean. Nicole is a well respected information and affiliate marketer. She is also the affiliate manager for Jimmy D. Brown.
I read an article of Nicole’s in which she suggested you set a timer for 15 minutes when you sit down to the computer.
If you have children, you probably know how efffective a timer is for setting boundaries with your kids.
“When the timer dings, XYZ will happen.” Often, it means someone gets a turn, or they get mom’s attention.
But even if you’re not a work at home mom, working fast and hard in short increments is a wonderfully effective way to stay uber focused.
Nicole just finished up a free report with more of her tips on staying productive when you work from home.
Honestly, the hardest part of owning an online business or blogging is this: staying focused and productive when you don’t have deadlines, work hours or a boss to be accountable to.
Launching a successful blog requires a commitment to creating high quality content on a regular basis, and it can be overwhelming. Some good time management strategies are definitely helpful.
You can download the .pdf report here.
It’s full of practical advice from a busy mom of two and full time online business owner. Let me know what you gleaned from the report in the comments!
189 Tips
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009I talk about Jimmy D. Brown periodically on my blog. He’s one of the most no-nonsense internet marketing teachers/gurus out there. I told someone recently that he sounds a bit like a Southern Baptist preacher – but only because he tries so hard to motivate you to take action in your business. Jimmy wants everyone to enjoy the benefits he has gotten from this whole internet marketing gig!
Jimmy sent me an article this morning – actually it’s more of a collection of some of the “best of” advice he’s come across from bloggers like me. You’ll see my link below to a free .pdf I released several weeks ago with my 100 Top Blogging Tips, as well as wisdom from the likes of Alice Seba, Lynn Terry, Nicole Dean – some of my favorite women and certainly successful business owners.
There’s a lot to learn here. I hope you take the time to really digest the info.

Have you ever wished someone would do all of the “research” for you so you could just cut to the chase? I know I have. There have been many times I’d like to not waste hours of my life sifting through low-quality articles and blog posts to find the occasional gem.
If only someone else had written this article for me to read a long time ago. Fortunately, I’m gonna save you the trouble of getting double vision from staring at your computer screen trying to find some good internet marketing reads.
Below you’ll find some great “tips based” blog posts that are filled with meaty ideas. Some of these authors you’ve probably heard of, some you might not have heard of. All deserve to be included for providing some golden nuggets in their content.

How To Make Money – Start a Recipe Blog
Sunday, August 5th, 2007Review: Just Add Sweat – How To Start a Recipe Blog
I mentioned Nicole Dean’s Just Add Sweat business guides here a few weeks ago. Now I’m writing a full review since I’ve had an opportunity to review two of the Just Add Sweat guides personally.
What I love about these guides is their simplicity. Some “how to internet marketing”products are too involved. By the time you read and listen to everything, you’retoo exhausted to get started and have no idea what to do next!
Not so with Just Add Sweat. Each consists of a 30- 35 page ebook, an audio success story and a few resources to help you get going. It’s not so much that you’ll be a victim of too much information.
Let’s start with How to Start a Recipe Blog For Fun and Profit.
If you’re online pretty regularly and you eat food (which is pretty much anyone who is reading this!), I’d be willing to wager that you’ve visited at least one recipe blog in the last month. I know I’ve visited several.
Is it possible to earn money doing this? Nicole is qualified to answer this question because she does earn money from her recipe blog (as well as owning many other sites).
Why a blog? Because of its simplicity. You don’t have to know anything about html to start a blog. Blogs are also the darlings of search engines.
Nicole shows how simple it is to start a blog. The ebook even contains screenshots guiding you through the process of setting up your blog and publishing to it (creating new posts/pages).
This guide is an excellent introduction to affiliate marketing, one of the ways you’ll be earning money from your recipe blog. Nicole even has specific recommendations for food related affiliate programs you can promote for cash. There are several other ways to earn money from your recipe blog, detailed inside.
The ebook shares insider tips on how to get traffic to your blog at no cost, including how to get people to link to your blog for free. And if you ever run out of things to say, Nicole shares how to get content at no cost (or for pennies) that will keep your audience and the search engines happy and your income growing.
The ebook shares important information on how to choose a target market or “niche” foryour recipe blog. Why pick a target market?
As I write this, I happen to be sitting inside a Barnes and Noble. Right now there are dozens of BBQ cookbooks on display. Who knew that there was so much to say about BBQ? But there are books on Men and BBQ, Easy BBQ, Vegetarian BBQ, BBQ and canned beans, etc. Each has a different target market in mind and so the author can be unique even amidst all the BBQ cookbooks.
This ebook and accompanying resources make it so easy to get started with a recipe blog that you could buy it and literally be up and running with your new blog in an houror two. How easy is that?
