Russian SpamMorning!

You know, spam by itself is bad enough when you can at least read it (’tis amazing some of the marketing that these peoples use!) but when it’s in a foreign language completely like Russian….it’s just a bigger pain than ingesting 34 hunks of gnawed-off sheetrock.

So!  Today I awakened to see 34 Russian email spams….and I finally decided, enough is enough!!  So I started configuring my filter…and then realized, I don’t have a lot of time to devise the perfect Read the rest of this entry »

Ah, what a great Labor Day weekend.  I actually (gasp!) took it easy (that’s the good news) and slept for 12 hours yesterday (the better news) and am completely awake today (the best news!).  :)  I did discover that if you hold your family to your expectations, quite often they will rise to the occassion and really surprise you indeed!

Angels in disguiseMorning!

Today’s post will be quite brief but pithy and as always (okay not quite) to the point.  :)

As a savvy online net blogger or entrepreneur, chances are…you possess lots of skills mere mortals (read: your fellow moms and dads and colleagues etc.) do NOT have.

After all, you know how to use social networking, you know about the joys of Twitter, you know how to use Facebook to Read the rest of this entry »

Self defense for wordpressMorning!

And how are you today?  Over here in LingLand, life is doing just peachy-like - Paradise envelops my personal landscape next week (ie, school starts!  :)  ), my body has recovered from the massive weight-lifting/stretching I did two days ago and is ready to tackle karate sparring tonight, and all in all….everything is coming up butterflies.

But I digress.  :)

Do YOU own YOURTAG.Wordpress.com?

Posted on August 22nd, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, Business Blogging, Coaching, Make Money, Marketing, Niche Marketing, Professional, Wow

ABCsMorning!

And how is life treating you today?  Over here in LingLand, I’ve finally recovered from my bout of food poisoning (yay!) and am getting lots of great work done…..I’m so glad it’s the weekend!  Methinks I deserve this break and so do you.

But I digress.  :)

Today’s topic relates to managing your brand.  As you might know, I own the site Fab Fit Mom and wrote a book about how I lost 50 pounds.  Like any smart entrepreneur, I set up a Google alert to notify me whenever my site was discussed (ie, fabfitmom).

Imagine my surprise when a few days ago, I found that someone is using Fab Fit Mom for their Wordpress blog!

Reputation ManagementMorning!

And how are things over in your neck of the woods?  Over here in LingLand, life is moving along just peachy-like - I just returned from my dojo where I was shown the *right* way to execute a particular aikido throw (incompetence - thy name is Barbara!) and am now writing my daily blogs.

Review sites powered by Wordpress?

Posted on August 15th, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, Future Trends, Insights, Make Money, Marketing

WP reviewsMorning!

Today I just came across a rather fascinating site called

Word Press Review Site

Now, I have yet to try it out myself, but wow, I do so adore the concept!! 

Check out his site Award Winning Hosts.  I’m pretty certain you’ve seen similar sites…but if the plugin performs as promised, wow, what a super way to build a niche review site!  It apparently harnesses the power of affiliate programs, the social networking aspect of communities and more.

I’ll keep you posted on my adventures with it, but in the meantime, do check it out and let me know what you think.

Enjoy,
