My Sixth Week As A Lifestyle Blogger - The Getting Into The Swing Of It Week

This is my 6th week as a lifestyle blogger and I am just now starting to feel like I am getting into the swing of it! I am feeling like everything is generally up and running and that I have at least a foundation to work from.

This week I added two forms to my store and published 4 posts across my blogs that were at least somewhat related to productivity and forms. I am really thinking that I need to write a post somewhere about how to leverage what you already know how to do when you are starting out.

With the exception of the Twitter debacle (more about that later) my biggest satisfaction has been using my blogs and just writing, which is my passion anyways. Additionally I like to make forms and the systems behind them that will help people do better in their work!

I have been sharing my forms in person with coaching clients and they LOVE THEM! This gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that I am headed in the right direction.

Now just patience is required to let these things grow!

PS – The Terrible Twitter result.

I have been marketing on Twitter for years now with my Taradactyl account and I get great results from adding followers or promoting a post. That said, using the PaperlyPeople account  was a total debacle. I have been building up my Twitter peeps by following every day, adding 5-10 each day.

Paid marketing with Twitter cost $10.00 for a week, I got 8 followers and paid $1.25 for each one. Holy cow, that is terrible! I can get 8 followers for free just by following a passel of people myself.

Not sure the difference between what I am doing on the Taradactyl Twitter and the PaperlyPeople Twitter, but cannot afford to pay that much per follower for sure.

I really would like to do some kind of paid advertising so I will be check out other options that I can use.
