Hi everyone!
Well, my first couple weeks as a premium member haven't gone exactly like I hoped, since my darling daughter went through some sleeping issues last week. I lost a lot of sleep and a lot of my morning focus... I did manage to put work in, but not the 2 hours daily I have been aiming for. This week is going very well, though, and I'm SUPER EXCITED about my progress!!
First, I made some decisions about the direction of my online businesses. I decided to keep going with my original niche, and start engaging my audience more. To that end, I've written a few new articles, much more conversational in style, and finally got my Facebook page set up and active. I got on the ball and wrote out a month of posts, questions, and tweets in an excel spreadsheet so that I have a roadmap to follow with social media. I just can't think of things to post every day on the fly -- most of my attention goes to my daughter! And I'll add to that with anything interesting that pops up every day, too. Here's my FB page:

I also decided that I want all the advantages of WordPress on that site (which is built with SBI) so I'm going to add a blog and be posting most of my new content that way. For some reason, I just find writing a blog post less mentally intimidating than writing a page on a site -- I know it's all in my head since it's all just content, but there you go.
I decided to scrap my little scrapbooking test site here (LOL). Instead, I'm going to do a blog that just journals my IM experience, promotes WA, and builds community. I spent an hour doing keyword research yesterday and found some great ones, a little sub-niche in IM, so I'm excited about that. I registered reachforawesome.com and am impatiently waiting for the DNS to update so I can get building on that one.
AND -- I got my first article approved at Street Articles.com! Woot! LOVE the profile over there, putting in links to my site and all kinds of little things to help us as marketers. Good stuff. Here's the article, would LOVE feedback.

And finally, a beach picture, because we are just loving living in Hawaii right now. :-) The M+K is "graffiti" my husband made for me. If you've never been here, people make graffiti on the black lava rocks with white coral pieces. It's one of those funky things about living on the Big Island.
