Welcome To PotPieGirl.com
I feel I am proof-positive of my on-going mantra:
“If you’re willing to do for a year what others won’t,
You can spend a LIFETIME doing what others can’t.”
I’ve never been someone who believes, or teaches, that you can have amazing results with very limited effort – you have to do the WORK… do the things others WON’T or DON’T do.
I have invested thousands and THOUSANDS of hours into learning and doing… and then teaching. I am so thankful for every second of it – even the hard times.
As with all things, after almost 18 years of my “laptop lifestyle” – things in the internet marketing / blogging space change (a LOT!)
FYI – I do NOT live a “laptop lifestyle” – in fact, I don’t even USE a laptop =)
With so many changes, I don’t want my older posts to be seen as “new” information – so, while all my posts over the years are still here on PotPieGirl.com, they can only be found through my sitemap area.
If you’re here to learn Pinterest…
I highly STRONGLY recommend this Pinterest Master Class.
It is constantly updated with strategies and effective techniques that work NOW – and it’s the only training I recommend.
The teacher is a fellow blogger who has also put in thousands and thousands of hours learning…doing…and teaching Pinterest. She is nothing short of amazing and I trust you will be successful in her care.
If you’re here to simply browse around, below are a handful of posts about me and things I’ve learned over the years blogging.
The first question I tend to receive is “PotPieGirl? Why? Do you just love pot pies?!?!?”
I know that “PotPieGirl” is a VERY quirky and unusual name – but it fits me (and no, I’m not a big fan of pot pies).
As I was re-reading posts I made from 7… 8… 9 years ago, I was pretty amazed at the things I said then, that absolutely figured prominently into me still being here now, doing this, today.
I’d like to share 10 of those things with you today.
It was a cold winter day just shortly after my birthday on February 18, 2007 when I got the wild and crazy idea to make a website and learn to make money online.
That was 3,396 days ago…
9 years, 3 months, and 18 days ago…
Who-da-thunk I’d still be here today?
My husband believed I would, but I sure didn’t.
No one really makes a full-time living off the internet, do they?
7 years ago today, my husband came home from work to find me staring at a totally white computer screen.
He carefully asked me what I was doing to which I responded, “I’m making a website”.
He then asked me why I was doing that – my answer was simple, “Because I am going to make money online”.
