Single Again...

This is definitely a 'behind the scenes' post ;-)

As you might have guessed, Albert and I parted ways several months ago. After 2+ years together, the relationship just wasn't going in a good direction. I'll spare you the details, but suffice it to say I am now a single woman (yet again)!

It's been a few months actually... but somehow I had a hard time admitting the failure and fessing up to the fact that I was a fool in it all. Who knew, right? I suppose it's only natural to take the time to deal with it all before you can brush yourself off and move on.

Despite my tendency to relocate, I've decided (at least for now, LOL) to grow some roots here in this small town. I do have some family here, and lately I've been making some new friends and finding some new things to get into. The kids seem very grounded here, too, which was a big factor in my decision to stay - even after Grandmother passed. She was my reason for moving here in the first place... and it feels like that is 'roots' enough to grow on.

Lately life has been all about me and the kids. I've lost 13 pounds while participating in the Body Challenge (alongside several other Internet Marketers). I bought some new furniture, had a few weekend slumber parties with the kids, got my hair lightened, and caught up with some old friends. Ann Marie is joining a softball league, Zack has just set up a dedicated server on America's Army with a few of his buddies... and we are all three having a great time and staying on the go.

Life is good :-)

So what's on the agenda for me, now? For the rest of this year I'm going to focus on my work, on my book... and on myself. I have a few trips planned as well - some business, some pleasure. I love to travel, and there's nothing better than a little adventure... especially when it involves sunshine, bare feet and lots of fun!

Blogging & Affiliate Marketing

I just got an email this morning on two new white papers about blogging. I havent had a chance to read them yet, but I grabbed a copy of each and thought I'd pass the link along to anyone who's interested.

There are two, titled:

Making Blogs Work for your Online Business

and Affiliate Marketing & Blogs

You can get them both at:

Men are from Wal-Mart??

Calling all Women in their 40's!

Yana Berlin has finally launched her sassy site, shamelessly titled Fabulously40.com! I was thrilled to get the email from Yana that her site was launched and live - because I knew it was a super concept from the first time that she shared her the ideas with me. But the site actually turned out even better than I envisioned!

Take a peek for yourself:
http://www.fabulously40.com


I'm quickly approaching 33... but must admit that I envy the 40-somethings! It seems the 20's are spent recovering and scrambling (building). The 30's are spent shuffling and managing (maintaining). But the 40's --- ahhh, that's when a woman truly hits her prime and can enjoy the fruits of her labor ;-)

Of course, I perused the site anyway (shhh - dont tell anyone!). I LOVED the article titled Are Women From Utopia And Men From Wal-Mart?

It's a must-read. No matter what gender you are... or what age you are. I think you'll love it! ;-)

Got 40-something girl friends? Send them the link - pass it around!

Press Releases for Affiliate Sites

I was just reading this week's issue of NetProfitToday - definitely worth sharing, so here you go :-)

--------

Do you think that press releases are only issued by ‘big’ or ‘real world’ companies, and aren’t for smaller online or affiliate marketing sites and businesses?

If so, you’ll be surprised to learn that most successful businesses - online and off - use press releases to promote and market themselves.

I was surprised myself to learn that my friend and highly successful Internet marketer, Lee Romanov, uses press releases extensively to promote her online business.

To find out what she does, and how she uses press releases to market her online business, please read this week’s feature article:

How to Use Press Releases to Market Your Affiliate Sites

Selling Domains - Big Profit

Find out firsthand how Ellen Braun is turning a big profit selling domain names:


I was once again renewing a domain name which I had never developed into a web site. As I looked at the 15+ domain names that I owned within that registar (there are a few more registered with a different company), I wondered if I could earn some money by selling off my dot-coms.

We've all read about the millions that were paid to the lucky owner of domain names like loans.com. Although my domain names were not as short and snappy, some of mine were downright cool!

With that in mind, I put up a post listing several domain names for sale in Digital Point's 'sell domains' forum, which you can view here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=50315 .

Rob sent me a private message inquiring as to the price of ParentingTipsAndAdvice.com. I had registered that domain in order to build a parenting website, however I decided that the domain sounded boring and technical. Instead I purchased and began building a parenting advice site with a more memorable domain name, http://www.RaisingSmallSouls.com/.

I emailed him that my asking price was $80. He responded that the domain name would be a gift for his sister, and he only had $40 to spare. I accepted the $40 offer, and transferred the domain name over to him. It took a few minutes of time on the phone with Yahoo's customer service, and twenty-four hours until the change took effect, yet now I know clearly what to do the next time I sell a domain name!

Considering that I originally purchased the domain name for $2.99 from Yahoo several weeks ago, I earned a whopping 1,337% return on my investment! Not bad at all for a first time domain seller. I plan to try this again soon!

Who's Your Sweetheart?

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? See: The History of Valentine's Day


Who's Your Sweetheart?

Valentine's day is always a special day of the year. A time to celebrate love and friendship in your life. Even during the years that I've been single (which has been most of 6 years now) I've always made it a point to celebrate - usually by ordering out a big yummy lunch, curling up with a few of my favorite old movies, and devouring a box of chocolates :-)

My oldest is 14 now, and he's not too 'cool' with being Mama's sweetheart this year (grin), but my little girl doesnt mind so much. She humors me anyway, at least - LOL. Regardless, they'll enjoy their chocolates that they find on their beds when they get home from school... and it will be fun to hear the stories from each of their days.

What about you? I'd love to hear what you have planned today... and all about your sweetheart!


Don't have one... and wish you did??
Find a Valentine on Yahoo! ;-)
