Finally.

I've been a little stalled. I found I have been giving to so many things that I have been working really hard but haven't been completing any of the many things I need to be involved in.

My business partner on the coaching side has told me to get other people to do those things that I don't need to do myself...

I haven't been doing that, because.... well, I don't know why actually, but I was resisting!

Then today, on the website side of things I made a decision. I hadn't managed to write a post for a while and I had been really struggling with a review... and I made a decision to outsource one article and the *$*&$@ review! So I did it - and they are in the making at the moment! YAY! (By the way, what pushed me was the fact that this website business is WAY too important to me to let it go!)

I recently read a blog on outsourcing by Nathaniell who actually suggested not using Fiverr so much for articles, but actually I want to add my personal touch anyway. So I looked for the best, gave a really good brief, asked loads of questions and just went ahead and ordered. I am happy to fiddle with it after. I find starting the hardest - I am best at taking something already underway and making it my own and making it good so happy to play with the finished product if I need to.

Another piece of advice I finally got today was about WA Keywords tool. I had never quite got the keywords thing - but when Boomergp08 (aka Robert) wrote a training about the tool the other day it suddenly clicked for me. So today when I ordered my article, I was able to give some really clear ideas on keywords and the structure of the article!

Finally, I have got it - don't try to do EVERYTHING (especially if you can't!).... AND.... Keywords Keywords Keywords!

Happy Tuesday to you all.....

Sarah

p.s. September is here - which means that next week is settling in week at nursery for the first time for my daughter and the week after I get to concentrate on my work for three full days a week! (now to split that between my different projects!)

I wouldn't say Fiverr is not good, I did tried two articles at $5.00 each and it was good, I am surprised but of course we have to add our own "flavour" or words to make it read better. :))

It is great to know that things are starting to move in the right direction for you, Sarah. I always love to hear from you. Have a great day!! :))

Just got one of the articles back - and while it's ok, I definitely need to do a bit of work on it to make it "savvy surfer" worthy. But then I did say I wanted to add my own "flavour" (as you also mentioned), didn't I?

I found it very solid, but "non-special" - then again, for $5 it's got me off to the start I wanted!

Happy Days! Lovely to hear from you! :)

You are right, for $5, we shouldn't expect so much, but I find it does free up my time to go and do my marketing and promotions. ;)) Have a wonderful weekend, Sarah!! :))

Great way to go! Robert is a great source of info.
Lindon

He is! I have learned a lot from his blogs/trainings etc over the months I have knuckled down to working on my site! He really clarifies topics for me!

Knowing that things will settle in to a routine is so helpful.
Routine can save you, even though we do fight it at times.
Sami

Yes although I'll miss having my daughter around, there's a part of me that can't wait to have a regular schedule.

Unfortunately it is called being a Mom- we spend so much time putting others needs, and some time perceived not real needs, ahead of ours that we feel guilty when things seem to level out!
Sami

Well figured out. Sometimes we have to delegate. By the way did you figure out the Notifications bit. If not let me know.

Hi Helen. Thanks - and yes your tips worked so all sorted now! Sorry, I don't think I came back to you with the final word on that! Your help and time on that was very much appreciated! :)

Great stuff Sarah, Don't you love those light bulb moments.

Yes, that "aha" moment!! :)

Well done for "getting" keywords now Sarah, must admit I still find it a bit of a mystery...LOLSSS
Good luck with your little one and her first week at nursery, will you happily wave her off or will you be one of the ones who has your heartstrings pulled......my money's on the latter!!
Mark

Mark thank you! I've definitely "got" the importance - and I hopefully have "got" it in terms of the ranking - the proud, as they say, will be in the pudding. (Whoever "they" is!)

As for nursery, I thought I'd be fine as I've had help at home. But now the time is fast approaching, yes I have a feeling that I'll have a few wobbles. One thing I do know from my experience is that my daughter WILL cry - but as soon as I'm gone, she will be fine!

I'm sure she'll be fine....you can look forward to picking her up and having big kisses and cuddles!!

Can't wait to add comments to your upcoming article ;)

Thanks Tim!! I'll let you know when it's done!! :)

excellent work. Who did you use for your article?/. Im the same, my daughter starts school for the first time in a week, so I too am hoping to have more time to do more work!

I used fiverr as well. I got a different person for the review and the article. I will happily recommend once I see article (or not, if it's no good!!) ;-)

Great, I'd be really interested to hear about them . I hope it good for you!

I'll let you know once I've got it back! :)

Well done Sarah. Let us know how the article turns out!

I will do...I'm keen to see! I'm sure I'll add my own flavour to it anyway but it's nice to have some articles underway even if I don't have time to do it myself.

Thank You Sarah,

outsourcing is a great idea. We can't be experts at everything but everyone can be an expert at something. Have a great September my Friend,

Tony

Thanks Tony. Yes I'm learning that! I do actually love writing articles but I need help so....!! And the review - I don't love writing those, so why write them! Happy to pass that one along...! Need to apply this in other areas of my business now! :)
