Better Skills. Faster Stats. More Money.
A Blog posting schedule ... ahh, yes... I love schedules. I mean I LOVE schedules. I need to be organized, to an extent. I love it because I like to know what I am doing next. I don't need to do the same thing at the same time on the same day, but I do need to write down due dates and have some sort of consistency. It makes life easier. It keeps me organized. It keeps me focused. It helps me to know what I have to do and when I have ...
It is so important to be pinning your things! Last week I posted a lot of great Pinterest stats (check them out if you haven't yet!) There are two options in Pinterest: 1- Pin them organically - whenever you have time. 2- Schedule them with an app. If you go for the first one (I go back and forth between #1 and #2), just be sure to pin your stuff when your audience is on. I pin the most in the evening, because that is when mothers of young ...
It is so important to share your content and know where to share your content. Am I saying that loud enough... share your content! I know that some people feel bad about sharing their stuff. I know that one blogger actually quit her blog because she didn't want to have to share her own stuff. My thought is that if you share it, it will be seen by a handful of people, then they tell a handful of friends, etc... You want to put it in front ...
I wanted to share my favorite plugins. Some of these plugins make reading easier for your followers, but most make blog-life easier for you. (woo-hoo!) My absolute favorite plugin is the Wordpress Editorial Calendar. I love it because you can literally write what you wan in th e post and then you can drag it where you want it to be. You can schedule your posts from there, you can edit from there and you can see it all right there in front o ...
We are so excited to introduce you to "the next big thing" here at B2B... drum roll please... Personal Conferences for Bloggers! Why Personal Conferences? We really are excited and let me tell you why before I tell you what this means for you. When we first started blogging, we all said that we wished that we had had this one thing: someone or something to tell us what we were doing right, what we were doing wrong, and how we can ...
Introducing our quick-read, packed-full-of-information, must-read book: Why your BLOG is FAILING... and how to fix it. In this book, we (Becky, Paula and Holly) talk about the main reasons that we see blogs failing. Most of the time, it is an easy fix, like design or promotion, that can make the biggest difference. We purposefully made this book under 30 pages to enable you to read it in a day and GET GOING on your changes. We know that you ...
Blogging can be life-changing... to your life and to others. We are nearing the end of our 30 days to a better blog and I am so happy that you've taken this journey with us! You've helped me get over my worry about making videos, so kudos for that one! haha! I am writing to you from the heart, because today I am talking about the heart of blogging. Write for a reason. Know your reason. Do you write to raise awareness for something? Do you ...
Hi! If you read our post on the importance of a Blogging Best Friend, then you are probably ready to find out how to find yours…. Did you see our intro on DAY 1? If not- start there. If you are ready to move on, read below… Today I want to talk to you about how you can use Facebook to find your blogging tribe (a close group of bloggers that support each other)… a Facebook blogging tribe.I'm guessing that by now you are in several big ...
Today, I was finding some great things to share on my YMF Facebook page and I came across a few articles that were quite contradictory, but I think that I have gotten them figured out: (& since you are bloggers, I knew you would love them as much as I did!) 1). Don't take selfies, unless they are cute, funny, make a point or are pointless (therefore… funny!) 2). Don't take pictures of your food, unless you like it, hate it or are ...
How to revamp old blog posts has become a must in my current blogging arsenal. I had good ideas back at the beginning of my blogging career, but I had no idea how to present them. Some of biggest traffic driving posts have come from posts that I have reworked. Today I want to give you the tools for breathing new life into old posts. When I started out in blogging I knew nothing. Nothing. I did not read any blogs. I was unaware of the number of ...
