Here's my first weekly update on what I did this week to help build my business:
*Advertised on 3 new websites
*Exchanged links with 5 new sites and 2 new blogs
*Did some networking on MySpace
*Renewed 3 new ads on various wedding related sites
*Did some networking for this blog
*Updated my MySpace & business blog. I sooo have to do that more often!! My goal is 3 times a week.
*Posted 32 new ads on various free websites though out the week.
*Hooked up with 2 new suppliers
*Applied a volume discount to a few more of my products
*Added some cute new products to my site
I also have paid ads running in Celebstaff Magazine and Emerald Coast Brides from June till August as well as ads on additional websites that run throughout the year.
All of my hard work has been paying off. I got 3 orders that I know came directly from ads I posted this week and I will get an order shortly from a contact I made on MySpace.
On a personal note, it has been a nice quite weekend. My son and husband have been out of town so I have spent the entire weekend working on networking and updating my website. There is still a ton of stuff I want to do, but I have been able to accomplish a lot since they have been gone. I have been looking forward to this weekend for weeks. I knew it would be a time I could get a lot done for my business without feeling guilt about not spending time with my family.
Last but not least, I tried a new workout video. For some reason I am addicted to "The Girls Next Door"! I saw an episode where they were making a work out video and I thought about buying it. Amazon had great reviews about it so I ordered it. Let me just say Holly, Bridget, and Kendra kicked my butt this weekend!! I don't mind working out, but I usually get so wrapped up with working on business related stuff that I never get a chance to. I needed a tape that would motivate me and I think I found it. Hopefully I'll be looking good again real soon!
Remember to add me to your list of favorite blogs and tell everyone you know about my website. I need publicity, publicity, publicity!! Thanks in advance!!
Here are some cute favors that I just added to my website:
