Getting More Fans by Linking Your Facebook Page to Your Profile

By Allie | Leave a Comment

Oh Facebook, how we love thee.  We share.  We laugh.  We talk.  We love. On our profiles.

We also have business pages there that get no love sometimes.

Ignored.  Neglected.  Thinking nobody loves them.

But we do!!!  We just don’t know how to treat them sometimes.

Facebook Pages Get More Love With Profile Link

WAHM Email List Building

You have started your WAHM business and you are excited!

Opportunities will be opening for you that you never had before.

Running your own business will be very rewarding yet can also be a daunting task.  With a plan and some actions, that daunting task becomes second nature.

I want to talk today about the most daunting task I feel I had to conquer and that is starting and running my email list.  But that will come later in the post.  For now, I need you to be sure you know two things before we more on.

In the beginning, there are two things you definitely need to do. Know your product. Know your customer or your target market.

Having working knowledge of both these business factors will make running your business and your email list much more simple.

Content Marketing Breakdown: You No Longer Need to Feel Lost

Content Marketing WAHM

Content Marketing WAHM Content Marketing for WAHMs

If you have been trying to learn about how to make your business become more popular online, you have most likely run across a phrase that many entrepreneurs, bloggers, businesses, and marketers use:

“Content Marketing”

And if you are like me a couple of years ago, these 2 simple words perplex you. They certainly confused me.

First, I did not come from a marketing background, I came from an offline business background.

Second, I had heard of marketing and knew what it is but this phrase was new to me.

Three, I was thinking my offline business does not need “content” to market.  We had been thriving on word of mouth and business cards to make our business thrive.

But a few years ago I was trying to carve my own way online by starting a blog and becoming part of this expansive blogging community. I wanted to to become a Work from Home Mom online.  I wanted to

Defining Your Target Market for the WAHM

WAHM target market

Target Market

Do you ever feel you are working very hard with your business yet getting nowhere?  Some may believe it is their product that is not a great seller but did you ever think it is that you are trying to sell to the wrong people?

Scenario:

Jane loves to crochet and believes she’s pretty good at it. So she decides to open an Etsy shop and showcase her best work.

Many people buy her crocheted baby hats and blankets but they never buy her gloves or shawls.  She is very confused. 

Jane just can’t understand why her best work is not selling yet some stuff is “flying of the shelves.”

Jane never looked into who is buying her goods.  From the looks of it, I would say new moms are.

Jane simply needs to do some research to find that there could be a market for selling crocheted baby clothing. 

If Jane continues to make shawls and gloves and not make

Protect your Mom Blog and Business from Attacks

Protect your Mom Blog and Business from Attacks April 2013 “Brute Force” Attack on WordPress Blogs

Last week, along with 90,000 other sites, my site received a file that was flagged as Malware.  What the hackers are trying to do is get into sites that kept the login name “admin”.

I had been warned numerous times to change my login from “admin” to some other name, but I figured if I had some crazy, funky, long password hackers would never get into my site.  Well, I was wrong, sort of.

They were not able to get in but they did place a file within my site that somehow tries many different passwords until it does breach.

What Did I Do?

First, I became very scared.  I felt lost.  I felt I was going to loose my blog and my business, I did not want to start over.

I don’t know anything about certain files that are kept with my site.  All Google was telling me
