Providing Value Comes Down to Answering One Simple Question…

I recently got this tweet from a new friend of mine: She had just finished reading my Who Is Jackie Lee page over at Internet Marketing for Mommies. She’s not kidding, that piece is 2205 words long. I am long winded… I’d say most of my posts on that site are between 1 to 2 thousand words long. It’s interesting because I KNOW I’m long winded over there, and have been kind of proud of that fact… and I purposely try not to be over here. I think it comes down to a skewed sense of providing value. Fact: people will only keep coming back to my site if I provide something valuable for them. There are millions of blogs online, especially in the internet marketing niche, and if I want people to give me a piece of their day I am going...

You Can’t Build a Sky Scraper Without A Foundation

In the last couple days I’ve received a couple emails from readers who are eager to start making money online. They want to know if they should monetize with adsense, or with affiliate products.

You can’t make money online without first creating a foundation for your business. You just can’t. It doesn’t work. You would never consider building a sky scraper without a solid foundation on which to stand. You...

Your Level of Clarity is In Direct Proportion to Your Level of Success

This week I had the absolute pleasure and privilege to interview Laura from Orgjunkie.com. It was a wonderful interview and yet… I found myself feeling discouraged and frustrated in the days that followed. Luckily I have great friends and accountability partners to help me get back on track. You’d think I would figure this out and just jump to it every time I get in this space… because it’s almost always the culprit for me feeling frustrated and discouraged in my business. Lack of Clarity Yep… as I was talking to Laura, she was so CLEAR about what she was doing, who she was doing it for, why she was doing it… I was a little jealous because since I started this new site I really don’t have that kind of clarity. Lack of...

7 Ways to Build a Better Blog in 30 Days or Less

Can you really build a better blog in 31 days? Heck yeah, you can. In fact, if you create a little plan for yourself, and include activities that are going to move you forward, and really implement your plan you can build a blog a LOT in 30 days. Over on Internet Marketing for Mommies I’m doing this Time to Shine Challenge, it’s kind of my Better Blog Plan for the Summer. Here’s some of the things I plan to do for the next 30 days to build a better blog. 1. Find blogs I love, read them and comment on them daily. This creates relationships with other bloggers. The more I blog the more I realize at a certain point you’re going to hit a glass ceiling going at it alone. Breaking through that ceiling requires teamwork, and help from friends....
