Lynn Terry: A Work-at-Home Mom I HAVE To Meet!
I was flattered to read this nice article about me written by Lynn Terry:
Kim Rowley: A Work-at-Home Mom I HAVE To Meet!
Her and I have many similiarities (so many that it’s kinda eerie), and I’m anxious to meet her in person!Lynn challenged me to a ”Cross Blog Conversation” to which she asked…
Kim - The article in Revenue Magazine states that you have around 50 affiliate sites & blogs, and that your 2 aunts help you write content. Do you also outsource some of the work, or how do you manage the daily tasks involved with maintaining such a large number of sites?
Hmmm, I sometimes wonder, too, how I manage! It takes a lot of caffeine! Yes, I do outsource a lot of programming, web design and content, either to people I have met or contract through Elance.com. As for daily tasks, I have a “routine” that I try to follow (check email, stats, logs, etc) and I keep a calendar to mark off blog posts made. I’ll put in extra hours before Vegas to set up future posts to run while I’m gone, so I can enjoy the conference more.
I couldn’t decide what question to ask Lynn in return - I think I have more personal questions than business questions since we seem like we were separated at birth! Can’t wait to meet her in Vegas and gab away!
Free Shirt Friday - ZVents.com
Today’s free tshirt is brought to you by Zvents.com “Discover Things To Do.” Cool place where you can see and post events and venues, and the best part is that it’s free to use! Looks like they make their money from advertising revenue. Think of the free publicity opportunities! I wish I could think of something to post. Kind of eerie, yet handy, how they track your IP address so you see local events immediately. But can change locations with just a click. Check it out yourself - www.zvents.com - and thanks for sending the shirt!
Speaking of tracking IP addresses, let me go off on a tangent for a minute… I hate it when dating sites (not that I’m an expert on dating sites, mind you) track your IP address to say “Look at the available men/women in Your Town.” Well, living in a town of 1700 where everyone knows everyone, I can guarantee that the pictures of those people shown in those ads do NOT live in my town. And I bet those same good looking people live in your town, too. End of tangent.
The Marketing Mama - that’s me!
I had the opportunity to be interviewed for this month’s Revenue Magazine “Affiliate Advantage” article. Here is a pic of me holding an advance copy of the magazine in London last week while attending Affiliate Summit UK (and I only had one request for a centerfold autograph). Read about my trip across the pond here.
You can read the article online (pp 82 - 86) or you can subscribe to Revenue Magazine for free if you qualify, and may be lucky enough to still get this month’s print issue. If you don’t qualify, no worries (my new saying from London), you can subscribe via Magazine Discount Center ($25/yr). This magazine is an affiliate marketing must-have.
There were a few inaccuracies in the article, but it was an honor to be featured nonetheless. A few corrections…
My youngest daughter, Tatym is nine. Not only does the poor girl look exactly like me, she wants to be like me! She is launching her very own website soon!
My ex-husband’s mood swings were bi-polar. And yes, he did get remarried the day our divorce was final to his “we’re just friends”. Not that I’m bitter or anything. Honestly, they are two of a kind, and I’m much happier (and better off financially) without him.
I did not buy his airplane in it’s entirety (he probably still owes on it). My hobby (affiliate marketing) simply paid for his hobby (pilot lessons, airplane payments).
Not all of my websites that were listed are developed and/or promoted, but I do own all of the domain names. Any of those names may be sale if the price is right.
And last but not least, I have not actually read any of these chick flick books yet, but I have good intentions of someday doing so.
Thanks to Lisa, Eric and Steve at Revenue and Photographer Tammy for exposing me. Anyone want to teach me PHP?
