October 11, 2011 By Jackie Lee 36 Comments

You can quickly create a video and upload it to youtube... but before you do that it's really important to know, in your mind, what you want this video to accomplish. You're not just making videos because they're fun... they're part of your marketing strategy. So... what do you want this video to accomplish? Do you want it to get people to like your fanpage? Do you want it to get people to opt in to your list? Do you want it to let people get a good feel for who you are and what you're … [Read more...]

Hate to Write? Youtube Marketing is the Answer

October 4, 2011 By Jackie Lee 35 Comments

Today I thought I'd tackle yet another of the problems/complaints I hear when it comes to internet marketing. This one I hear a LOT. I can't write. I hate to write. I don't want to write. English isn't my first language, I can't write. This one is pretty hard for me to understand, not only because I love to write, but also because it's not like you have to write an award winning novel to succeed in internet marketing. However, I do understand that many many people get stuck on this … [Read more...]

July 28, 2011 By Jackie Lee 10 Comments

It is that time of year... vacation time. It seems everyone is going on vacation and coming home to blog about it. I do love seeing the pictures, and hearing about your fun times... but I would enjoy it much more if somehow related to the topic of your blog. I do come and read your blog regularly because it's about something I am interested in... so while I love to get to know you, I'd love it even more if I could get something topic related out of it too. Here's some examples: Book … [Read more...]

July 7, 2011 By Jackie Lee 18 Comments

First, let's just get this out of the way... memes can be a great way to get traffic. They are fun, and a great way to meet other bloggers and make connections. With that said... Memes can also kill your blog. There is a meme for every day of the week these days... wordless Wednesdays, Meal Plan Mondays, How Pinteresting Wednesdays, Thankful Thursdays... it goes on and on. While memes can be a great way to get traffic they can also fill up your blog and stop you from adding any … [Read more...]

Why Aren’t You Guest Posting?

May 18, 2011 By Jackie Lee 7 Comments

I have had a couple requests to do guest posts on my blogs recently, some of the requests were great, others, not so great. It got me all revved up to write a post about guest posting. :) As I was going through my archives I realized I've already said a lot of what I was going to say today... so I decided to yank a couple posts out of the archives. (no sense repeating my long winded self lol). The Basics on Guest Posting: This post answers the basic questions, what is guest posting, why would … [Read more...]

Why I Gave Up On Google…

December 7, 2010 By Jackie Lee 33 Comments

This week we got a new puppy. As a mom and a dog lover that's pretty awesome. As an affiliate marketer ~ not so much. We all know the "how to train your puppy" niche is about as big as the "how to get your ex back" niche. However, I realized this in full force last night when I, without thinking, went to google and typed in "how to housebreak your puppy". You see, the first night we had our new pooch we put her in a crate (in the living room) and she HOWLED ~ no I take that back, she … [Read more...]

Free Blog Images ~ That Can Make You Money Too!

August 25, 2010 By Jackie Lee 25 Comments

I don't use a lot of images on this blog, but images can really add to a site. They look great and can serve to keep people on your site a little longer. They can also really bring home a point you're making in your blog post. Here's the rub... Where do you find great images you can legally use without paying for them? Sure you can scour through flickr and find images you can use, but I've got another idea. Allposters.com Yep, a poster store. They have thousands of posters on … [Read more...]

This Is What I Mean by Relevance

July 3, 2010 By Jackie Lee 10 Comments

Happy 4th of July weekend to my American readers. I had no intentions of posting today, or this weekend, however, the weather has changed and a picnic in the park before fireworks (which Hanna has been SERIOUSLY looking forward to) has become a cook out on the (covered) front porch. :) With that in mind I saw the ice cream maker buried in my cabinet and thought it would be fun to make some ice cream for tomorrow's cookout. I somewhere along the line lost the recipe book that came with … [Read more...]
