First of all, I’d just like to thank you for being so good to me since your birth. I know those birthing canals can get a bit tight, so I am grateful you don’t hate me for not being a better “birther”. (Yes I made that word up.) Since you were born, you’ve come a long way. You morphed from SexyCopy.Org, with its somewhat off-putting name (No, sexy copy was not a porn site, tyvm) into the...
Photo by YlvaS A light bulb moment happens occasionally. And during this moment… it occurred to me today that perhaps a bit of organization to Big Girl Branding’s content could be in order. With that in mind, here is the first of many (I hope) to come “cornerstone pages”, “pillar pages”, or “tutorial pages”… whatever particular handle makes...
There it is folks, in black and white. There are just some things in this world that can’t be denied and the fact that small businesses fail despite the best efforts of the people behind them is just one of the many things in life we might not “get” but still have to swallow. And what a bitter pill it is! Or maybe it’s more akin to swallowing nails, whichever metaphor suits your drama...
Photo by LawGeek Well, actually no. Social media is here and it’s changing the way we do things on a daily basis. But if Twitter, Facebook, Plurk and all those other social networking sites mushrooming up every nanosecond or so have that much power in the real world… We should all be running screaming in fear away from our laptops, computers and iPhones, right? Wrong. You see, the social media...
Photo by Molly OK, so I know by some people’s standards I might be seen as a pretty busy bee. I blog, I ghostwrite, I guest post, and I Tweet just to name a few. I also have my own projects in the works, I have a home to maintain, and mustn’t forget to work on my fitness while I’m at it! And I do it all with a smile while raising two crazy boys… so take THAT Super Mom! So I won’t even get into...

Happy reading, and be sure to leave your comments below… or else! There are many on page tactics you can use to optimize your pages for search engines. First and most important is CONTENT...
Photo by Dev Null Let me tell you a little story first. (Warning.. grab a coffee, take a break… this one is long!) Once upon a time I too, was in that same swivel chair as you are, thinking about my future and the futility of my career as I realized that I was headed for a bleak looking dead-end. Yep… My near future dead-ended smack into a solid brick wall that could just about stop a...
Introducing Mars Dorian… a fellow blogger with a passion for branding and being unique… kind enough to guest blog for me. I hope you all enjoy his fire, I know I do! Hello fellow digital crusaders, I’m sure you’re very busy with expanding your online presence – hey, I know you want YOUR piece of the cake! And if you want to make a splash that causes ripples, you have to...
GAXWUDYZ3WXS <—Please ignore the geek speak! Photo by Duncan Leaving the rat race to build your own business is a bit like jumping off a plane. You know that there’s a chance of your parachute malfunctioning and your day ending with a resounding splat… but still you do it in the pursuit of liberty and happiness anyway. Bully for you! You’re daring and adventurous. I like it...
OK, so after much ado about nothing, I’m announcing the winner of the “Oh So Lucrative” $10 contest! First though, thanks to all of you who took the time to introduce yourselves and come out of Lurksville. It was fun, and I got to see that more than just my Mom secretly stalks me! 😉 Luckily no restraining orders are needed quite yet, so I feel quite safe. After mucho deliberation, I decided that...
