Ever since my son’s 5th birthday (quick pic above), this Social Media Sista has been very quiet online (at least more than usual); mostly working on web projects for clients and going through the hustle bustle of holiday festivities. On Friday I posted the $200 Discount Code for the 2012 Black Enterprise Women of Power Summit and the new Black Women Online eGuide full of the latest websites for women of color online from parenting and relationship advice to business, beauty bloggers, and everything in between.
Today I wanted to share two things with you: my Holiday Shopping Tips and Walmart Gift Card giveaway on the Black Parenting Blog and a little Chris-mas video I did for my family and would like to share with you. I’ve got a few more things to share before 2011 ends, so keep watching and reading.
A little birdy told me that you want to learn more about affiliate marketing and/or how to improve your marketing skills, so I FINALLY created the Sistas Who Sell – Clicks to Cash – 30 Day Challenge for webpreneurs who want to learn more about affiliate marketing.
This challenge is very different from my 7 part series on Affiliate Marketing, which by the way, you get as a BONUS if you are one of the first to participate in this new Challenge. For 30 days I want to show you how to make extra money online with my affiliate products (or any affiliate products you like) by learning my simple, but very effective affiliate marketing strategies.
This Challenge is like no other that I have created! For the first time I want to not only show you my marketing strategies, but give you the chance to test them out by trying your hand at generating affiliate sales with my affiliate products and/or ones you are interested in learning how to promote. Everyday for 30 days you will get …
Daily Audio Sessions
Weekly Clicks to Cash Projects
Easy to Follow Internet Marketing / Social Media Marketing Solutions
Weekly Check-In Sessions
Opportunities to Ask Me Questions
Similar to my very popular $7 – 7 Day Challenge, this challenge is $30 for 30 days and it is FULL of great information and easy to follow solutions. The best part is all the sessions are designed to show you how to market specific products, so you have the chance to potentially make extra while you participate.
There are a million and one reasons why we start our businesses, but at the end of the day doesn’t it all just boil down to us ALL wanting to live a better life … our best life? When I decided to create the SistaSense Magazine, I wanted to share my journey from Side Hustle Sista to Home based business owner with other women who had startup stories like my own. I started out on a shoe string budget with a $5 dream. My life is best defined by what I like to call my 5ive to Fabulous Transformation, which is featured in the May 2011 issue of SistaSense Magazine.
How do you live a fabulous life? Do you have to be born into it? Is it enough to dream about it? How long do you have to work for it?
I spent the last decade of my life searching for a fabulous life. While for some that means fame and fortune, for me it meant getting paid to do what I love and spend time with the people I loved. Like a woman on a serious mission, year after year I went through this process of creating and waiting. I turned any and sometimes every idea into a possible profit stream. I never really knew what would work. All I knew was that I had to keep going and keep doing; patiently waiting to get “somewhere” until one day I realized that I had “finally” arrived.
The video above is entitled, Social Media Women Entrepreneurs – Are you making the most of your time online? When you are trying to market your startup online without breaking the bank, its natural to spend alot of time on free social spaces like Facebook. The problem of course is when you are on Facebook 24/7, but little to nothing that you are doing there is helping drive traffic to your website or increase your sales.
If you want be more productive when you are socializing online I share a few recommendations in the video above as well as recommend you listen to my audio – How to Make the Most of Your Time Online.
I have also started what I like to call, Facebook Networking Sessions for the BBWO Community on Facebook. These sessions are essentially ongoing FB Conversations that allow you to share your weblinks, advice, ask questions, and find new connections among the millions of ambitious entrepreneurs that frequent Facebook everyday.
In my opinion, social networking has never been this easy, and this fun! People are posting and commenting in real-time, so you literally feel like you are at a networking event instead of just sitting at your computer desperately looking for something productive to do.
