One creative introvert’s effort to figure out how to earn an income from their content without having to resort to their old extroverted carnival barking techniques!!!
Welcome to day number ninety-three of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… and I’m still excited that I decided to sign up for a free month towards a Udacity NanoDegree for Front End Web Development… where I plan to learn how to rebuild The Wicker Breaker from scratch… and am even more excited to write my first batch of code in quite a while…
Read MoreWelcome to day number ninety-two of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… and… as much as I love to be writing again… I’m starting to find that I really miss writing code… yeah… I get to dig into this site’s metadata as I implement SEO… but… I use Squarespace for The Wicker Breaker… so… I have to use their dashboard… which is why I’m struggling to get things precisely the way that I want…
Read MoreWelcome to day number ninety-one of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where… this morning… I woke up nice and early… and having nothing else to do… I went back to work adding metadata to The Daily Breaker posts from 2015… as an effort to improve this site’s SEO… only this time I did it for fun… and not as an obligation… so… I think my mini-break to avoid burnout might be done…
Read MoreWelcome to day number ninety of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where I’m still waiting on the power supply for my desktop computer which I ordered… WITH expedited shipping… over five weeks ago… oh the joys of having to go through the manufacturer for parts… but that seemed to be the only option this time… and I didn’t foresee there being this problem because there are multiple parts on their shelves… just waiting to go… according to their inventory…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-nine of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… and I have to admit that I ended up taking another day off from any marketing efforts as an attempt to avoid another bout of daily blogging burnout… not that I mind the rambling portion of the day… but… between the new meds I’m on that drain my energy… and the mundane nature of the behind-the-scenes work… it can be hard to keep going on the daily…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-eight of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… and it’s time to get back to work on the SEO task that I didn’t even look at over the weekend… thanks to the Take Back Your Weekend Day theme that I was able to create for Make Up Your Own Holiday Day… but… it’s Monday now… so this evening I’ll be returning to the tedious task of adding metadata to this website…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-seven of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where I’m off to a bit of a late start from continuing to celebrate Take Your Weekend Back Day… which I made up as part of Make Up Your Own Holiday Day… a couple of days ago…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-six of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… and we’re now almost four months into this project… six months if you count the behind-the-scenes work that I put in pre-challenge… and I’m starting to feel burnt out… well… maybe not starting because I think I griped about burnout a few time throughout this challenge…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-five of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… and last night… I switched things up by going back to an old SEO task that I thought I completed months ago… for this task… I had to remove all of the links to NBC throughout all of the My Saturday Night Life reviews… these links pointed to every sketch that was available at the time I was working on that challenge…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-four of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… and I’m super annoyed because I’m still having to use my laptop computer to do all this work… my desktop computer had power supply issues that took it out of commission before I even started this marketing challenge… but I was fine at the time because I knew that this laptop would work until I could afford the new part…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-three of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where this morning I went to start the eighth and final marketing course that I signed up for at the beginning of this challenge… I was hoping that this course would change things up since my last couple of posts have felt a little uninspired from having nothing new to share about the SEO task that has me busy when I’m not writing these Wicker Breaker posts…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-two of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where I’m continuing to plug away… adding metadata to all of The Daily Breaker posts from 2015… I was able to complete 2014 in exactly a week… but I’m now a week and a half into working on the 2015 batch and I’m not even halfway done… because the monotonous task was a fun change of pace at first… but now it just feels like a chore…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty-one of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where yesterday I continued on with more of the same… fixing mistakes from blog entries that I made over a half of a decade ago… just for the sake of improving some SEO score… since nobody even reads this old content anymore… not that they read it all that much when it was new…
Read MoreWelcome to day number eighty of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where yesterday I continued to work on my SEO tasks… but kept getting distracted by thoughts of redesigning this site from scratch… or at least reworking the Squarespace template that I use… as I grew bored with the SEO tasks… I started to tinker around…
Read MoreWelcome to day number seventy-nine of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where it’s another boring day as far as my marketing efforts go… I’m still adding metadata to all of The Daily Breaker posts from 2015… the same thing I was working on yesterday… and the same thing that I’ll be working on tomorrow… and probably the same thing that I’ll be working on all week if I keep going at this pace…
Read MoreWelcome to day number seventy-eight of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where yesterday… I started to get back to work on the SEO metadata project… which is good for the site… but not so good when it comes to inspiring me to write about as my marketing effort for the day… so… to procrastinate… I decided to build a sitemap for any visitors and not just for the bots…
Read MoreWelcome to day number seventy-seven of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where I started to add metadata to The Daily Breaker posts from 2015 yesterday… but… as I was working… I couldn’t stop looking at my header image that seemed to be a little off… I’m not talking about the title and subtitle… that I still want to move… but the header images themselves were getting cut off in different places… meaning there was no quick custom CSS trick to fix them all at one…
Read MoreWelcome to day number seventy-six of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where yesterday… I had to ask for my first refund of the 200 plus online courses that I’ve taken over the years… the thing that sucks is that it wasn’t the content that made me quit… or anything to do with the instructor’s knowledge… no… I had to stop taking the Squarespace Box Of Tricks course that I started yesterday over the instructor’s use of chalk…
Read MoreWelcome to day number seventy-five of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where yesterday I finished the free 11 Hour SEO Bootcamp that I started over the weekend… though the lessons were pretty dry… I would recommend this Bootcamp if you would prefer an all-in-one collection of SEO content… as opposed to signing up for a bunch of three to four-hour courses that only cover a hand full of these topics at a time…
Read MoreWelcome to day number seventy-four of 365 Days Of Marketing And Me… where I finally stuck to the plan to take another free SEO course from Udemy… to break up the monotony of implementing the thousands of SEO changes that I need to make after each analytical scan… the course in question is an eleven-hour marketing bootcamp that is already 65% complete…
