creating growth and momentum for online entrepreneurs
I'm guilty of it. I'm sure you are too. Setting "attainable" goals. Isn't that what all the gurus teach? Here's what I say to that... BULLSHIT. Aim higher. Attainable goals are mediocrity in the making... set your goals high enough to make you stretch, to give you the willies, to scare the bejeezus out of you! And mean it. This week I set a goal for myself... to add 2 new team members to my MPT Today team in 72 hours. That's a big goal, considering I hadn't added any new team … [Read more...]
Let me ask you a simple question: Are you creating the level of wealth you want in your online business? Ok. Second question: What system are you using to create wealth in your online business? I have had a serious AHA moment this week, and if you'll bear with me, you may have one before you finish reading this post. When I started internet marketing I read and read and read... I learned and learned and learned. Luckily I'm the kind of person who jumps into things half assed … [Read more...]
Everyone talks about "providing value" to your list, your readers, your subscribers. It's almost to the point where it's just become jargon. In fact, I found myself saying the same thing in my last list building post. It didn't really dawn on me to break down what providing value means until I got this comment: ...Another great point mentioned is providing value – something I think a lot of us do not know how to do. Personally I feel that this is something that really distinguishes the really … [Read more...]
Everyone and their brother talks about building a list... even I talk about building a list. It really is an important element in a long term internet marketing strategy. The thing about having a list is this: You can talk to your subscribers when you want, even after they leave your site and move on to the next shiny thing! You can connect with them over the long haul. They get to know you by the things you send them. They start to love you and send you wonderful emails in response to … [Read more...]

In every business model there are what I call "money making activities". These are the tasks that when you do them, they actually move you forward toward making money. In every business model there are a lot of time suck activities that we use to fill in the day, to make ourselves feel busy, like we're "working", but they do not move us forward toward making money. So... how do you stop filling your days with time sucks and start filling it with your money making activities? 1. Know … [Read more...]
We all know backlinking is super important... links pointing to our sites are what will help pull them up in the search results for our targeted keyword... however, it's super easy to say backlinking's important... but when you're getting started it can be tough to know exactly what that means! Today I thought I'd talk about some of the regular questions I get about backlinking. 1. My backlinks aren't showing up, what gives?! My first question to you is going to be, "when do you do … [Read more...]
**note** This is a post I published early this year... however it is a great post that's been buried in the archives. Now is the time to get on top of your link building if you want to capitalize on the holiday shopping rush. It takes some time for your links to be found, and to boost your ranking, so get started now! Here's the post! I know, I've backed off on doing a ton of niche marketing, but I'm getting the feedback that my readers haven't. I'm also getting feedback from people … [Read more...]
With the changes my business is going through, I've decided to move the Community Blog Review over here. I'm excited to bring it to this community because you guys are great, and have lots of opinions. Let's review the rules: 1. comment with kindness in your heart. We’re all here to help one another grow ~ the best way I’ve found to do that is in a kind and caring manner. Even the parts we think might be done differently we can still approach those comments in a constructive and … [Read more...]
If you've been with me for a while you know this site has gone through many changes... changes related to target market... topics, and definitely themes... Well guess what... it's about to change again, and this time it may be even bigger. I may be changing the entire domain name (but I haven't exactly decided if I'm brave enough for that yet). Here's what's going on... Way back in 2007 I got this wild idea I would help other moms learn how to make money online so they could stay home … [Read more...]
Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
Social media gives me the opportunity to get to know you better, as well as giving me the opportunity to share more of me than just the "internet marketing" side. I share multiple facets of me, and my life on social media, so if you choose to connect with me don't expect it to be 100% internet marketing... because it's not. :)
