What a day! Rush, rush, rush – and at the end of it what I achieved, toward my goals was … Well maybe I did move forward. I ticked a couple of items off my Action plan – small things true, but tasks now complete. My working day was so frenzied I didn’t have an […]
Day 30: My New Job
I’m officially employed again – which is kinda bittersweet. I was really having a wonderful time working at home. Though of course, yet again, I made no sales and really didn’t actually achieve much of anything lasting on the site. The challenge for me now is to keep the momentum going. And it’s proving quite […]
Day 29: Reality Bites
My real life has taken over and suddenly I’m not working on my business any more. In some ways I’m grateful – I need a break. But I fret. I mean seriously – how the hell am I supposed to generate $100k in 365 days if I’m not working on it every second of every […]
Day 28: House Hunting
I have always dreamed of owning my own home, but for the longest time that’s what it was – a dream. I had children when I was young – 22 and 23 – and then promptly ended up by myself with two babies. I’ve spent much of the last 18 years juggling the need to […]
Day 27: Hot, Hot, Hotter!
Summer in Australia. Lots of fun, if you go in for so hot you can’t take a breath without searing your lungs. It’s way too hot to do much of anything but whine about how hot it is.
Day 26: Distracted
The Internet is so vast that it’s really difficult not to get sucked into the many varied and fascinating discussions on your favourite topics. That’s what happened to me today. I got reading, and that led to commenting and …. well then I was so upset I wandered off to calm down. So … the […]
How Can I Accept Myself, If Others Say I’m Unacceptable
I read a lot about body size and, now, body acceptance. I’m a plus size woman and feel the pressure of public ‘disapproval’ of my size. I used to take it all very personally and I lived my fatness, hiding myself away so as not to offend anyone. Recently I’ve hooked into the fatosphere and […]
Day 25: The Top Ten
I’ve been buried in keyword research for the last 48 hours and its going pretty well. Now anyway. As usual I spent the first 24 hours dithering about making very little progress at all. The turning point was searching the keywords that are already on my website and finding out that I’m in the top […]
Day 24: Keyword Hell
I admit it – I don’t know what I’m doing; I am a complete novice. Every keyword I search starts with lots and lots of synonyms and ends up with … nothing. Maybe I’m filtering too much. Whatever, I ended up spending much of the day surfing because I couldn’t find even one viable keyword. […]
Day 23: Keyword Research
Keyword research is hard. Or maybe it’s just because so much of the business planning process for an online business happens at the same place. Either way I’m having trouble finding keywords that actually seem like good bets. I’ve been going through the dojo at Market Samurai learning how to use my software and I […]
