…Not Even A Little Bit

So, I got a video camera for Christmas. My hubby got me one of those snazzy Flip HD cameras….and it’s awesome! Today I got to use it to catch a totally spontaneous moment at my house. Naturally, if you know me at all, you know it’s not the best video in the world – BUT, it really got me thinking about something that applies to all of us when we work online. Shiny Things. …continue reading – WARNING: This Video Will NOT Change Your Life

… Or Just Try To Make Money?

When first starting an online business or your first One Week Marketing campaign, you may find yourself stuck on one question – WHAT should I sell?  I’ve seen this question asked numerous times in forums and I’ve had it asked of me time and time again.  Is it the best idea to start your internet marketing career working on something you are passionate about?  Is the phrase, “Do what you love and the money will follow” accurate?  Is it good advice? …continue reading – Should You Follow Your Passion?

How Do You Stay On Task?

I have been working intensely the past few days. I have been bringing a new business idea to life and it has consumed me. It’s funny, but once an idea sets in my mind and I can “see” it work, I’m off and running. That’s how this new local business idea has been for me. While I’ve been playing with it and toying with the concept for a few months, it has been the past few days that I have really dug in and went to work to make it happen. Tonight, as I finally slow down, it hit me how intense I have been – how focused. It got me wondering how others focus on their online projects… …continue reading – Getting Focused

Three Success Factors To Think About -

One of the toughest things for me personally when it comes to teaching others how to make money online is when I hear someone say, “I’ve spent SO much money – nothing works! I quit!”   To me, quitting is just not an option. If one thing doesn’t work – try another. The internet is FULL of possibilities – and many, many ways to get there.  Above all, nowhere does it say that you have to spend a lot of money to MAKE money online, either. Today, I have a great guest post that talks about three very important internet marketing success factors. …continue reading – Internet Marketing Success

Get Paid To Book Mark Your Content

RedGage is a new social bookmarking type service with a twist.  Apparently, when you bookmark your own online content at RedGage, you get paid for views of that bookmark.  Make any sense?  Confused me, too, so I thought I’d check it out.  Within my first 42 minutes of submitting a link book mark to my “How To Sell An eBook With PayPal” post yesterday, I made $5.80 on RedGage.  It appears I got some sort of bonus from the site owners or editors or something (not too sure yet), but it definitely got my interest and made me take a look closer at this RedGage site.  Here’s what I’ve learned… …continue reading – RedGage – Money-Making Social BookMarking

I Swear, If One More Person Tries To Get Me To Buy Something….

I’m tired of it!  All these people that claim to want to help me are constantly sending me sales pitch emails for whatever they claim is the “latest and greatest” product of the day.  What’s with that??!?!  I get SO frustrated!  I mean here I am, trying so hard to make this work with very little money to invest – and I am bombarded with all these emails offering me yet another product to buy.  I swear, I am going to start emailing these marketers back and give them a piece of my mind!  I’ve had it! …continue reading – Stop Selling To Me!

Why Mistakes Matter -

How many things in your life have you not even tried because you were afraid of screwing up?  Is fear of failure keeping you from taking any action?   Hey, that is not an uncommon fear – don’t feel alone.  Just keep this in mind -  We are not born with these fears. Somehow, somewhere, we learn them.  So, how do you move these fears out of your mentality so you can get to work?  Can you make money online in spite of your fear of failure?

Why Care About Other Squidoo Lenses in Google?

The past couple video posts at PotPieGirl.com have been regarding the effectiveness of Squidoo.com and getting those lenses indexed. I showed how doing a little research before ever making a lens on Squidoo (or a web page on ANY site for that matter) can really help your chances of getting your web page indexed. One of the questions I am getting is, “Why should I care how many OTHER lenses are already targeting my keywords?” Today’s video will show you why you should REALLY care about other web pages on the same site that are already indexed – and they are targeting your keywords. …continue reading – Web Page Indexing and You (Video)

Why Won’t My Web Page Rank High In Google? -

For anyone working online in the organic market (the “make money online FREE” market), it is imperative that you understand back links and utilize an effective and an efficient back linking strategy.  I can’t tell you how many emails and forums posts I read with questions about this.  Bottom line is – if you are going to make web pages on the internet, you MUST understand links and how they work… and most importantly, what they mean to Google. …continue reading – Links, Links, Links…

I’m Published!!!

Is Internet Marketing Secure? -

In the last two days, I have read some really great comments and insights here on PotPieGirl.com. I wish I had enough time to respond to each one individually, but I can’t seem to squeeze a few more hours in a day no matter WHAT I try…lol. However, there was one comment that came thru not too long ago that hit me hard and made me realize that it’s time for us to have a talk about the uncertainty factor in internet marketing. Are we safe? Is our work secure? Is internet marketing a smart thing to do in such uncertain times? …continue reading – Uncertainty
