Often, you’ll find many freelancers are a creative lot. They are drawn to freelancing because the idea of making a living on their own terms appeals, so they can free up more of their time for creative pursuits. I know… I’m a pretty creative chick myself. However, creative doesn’t always do the job of paying the bills. Sure it’s fun to take on that job that challenges your creativity and makes...
Hey BGB’ers… I’m actually writing this post because originally I prepared a great little guide as a giveaway to my newsletter subscribers. (OK fine, let’s call it like it is shall we, it’s a reward. Or a treat. Or a freakin’ cookie, how’s that?) But… it was intended to be sung from the rooftops via pop-up. Any hoo, I scrapped that because I...
It’s come to my attention after my first stint on ProBlogger that I’m NOT the only writer on the planet that likes to write naked and eat lots of ice cream and chocolate. And by write naked I mean fully clothed but like… totally vulnerable and authentic. HA! You thought I really meant naked didn’t you. Dirty. Really though, I’ve decided a writers club is in order. “The Naked Writers Generation...
I used to be just like my neighbor. He gets up every day, gets dressed, and goes through the motions of his daily morning routine. Then he grabs his keys and heads out the door, off on his commute to wherever it is in this world he happens to work. You know… his J.O.B. And yes, that is a mild sound of disgust you hear (read?) when I say that! See I used to work a J.O.B. too. A hard and...
OK, maybe not quite like Aerosmith. They’re pretty much Kings of the whole rockin’ it thang. But you can make every day count even when it feels like you can’t. I don’t know about you but I’ve been feeling like “work” is a bit slow lately. I find myself with not as much “vital I need to get this done to get paid shit” and more of the “less vital I need to get this done because I really want to...
So you may or may not be aware that I have been “attempting” to participate in the ProBlogger 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge, (Yup that’s an affiliate link!) with the SITSGirls and BlogFrog communities. I say attempting, because even with all those folks participating, I am still about 10 days behind! Regardless, I figured I’d start where everyone else is at and work my way...
Dirty… you totally thought I was going to say something different didn’t you? Minds out of the gutter people! But OK, so mayhap I did exaggerate just an eensy weensy bit there. Maybe you can’t keep a client enslaved and enamoured with your work for the entire duration of happily ever after… after all, ever after is a pretty long time. But hey… you can damn sure try! You can make...
Today I decided to participate in Darren @ Problogger’s 7 link challenge. It sounded like a fun endeavor, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together. So without further ado… here are my 7 links! My First Post My very first post ever… and don’t laugh either! OK, so maybe this was actually my second. My first was actually a post written by Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero...
OK my people… this is a first for me, and I hope you’ll join Joella of Blogs With Wings and I in this fun little foray deeper into the realm of blogging and networking. I will be hosting her latest Blog Carnival edition here on BGB and we’re looking for posts from you on ways to successfully convert your blog from a simple, mayhap even personal operation… into a more advanced, business oriented...
Hey all you entrepreneurial rockstars. Have ya missed me? 😉 Unfortunately in addition to going through some family turmoil and custody issues with my step-son… I was also hit with a migraine early Monday eve, and it literally put me out of commission all week long. Today is the first day I’ve rolled out of bed without pain in my head. (Look… I’m a poet and didn’t know it too!) Hopefully, (fingers...
