I use to hate getting grader in school and now here I am again, getting graded again. Hopefully the scores will be better than when I was in high school. I’m only posting these on my blog for reference. So in a couple of months I can come back and see if I improved. I have 2 websites so here is my report card.
BizzieMommy.com received a 89% on websitegrader.com
LaLaBabyBoutique.com received a 87% on websitegrader.com

Day 9 and Day 10 of 15 days of marketing
November 11th, 2008 / 2 Comments » / by S. Elie
I swear it seems like Jessica from jessicaknows.com is reading my mind. I was just thinking about adding a link to my portfolio/resume to my blog. I was just wondering how I can start a transition into freelance, and I really wanted to look into some more affiliate marketing programs. I actually have two affiliates on my site. momAgenda and tiny prints. I love the momAgenda collection and I’m already mentioning them and their products whenever I can.
Day 9 Homework Assignment: to explore different options for monetizing your blog or business.
Time is a commodity around here, sometimes it seems like I barely have time to breathe (hold on breathing). So I won’t be able to commit to much time to everything, so I’ll be concentrating my freelance efforts on writing & web design. My portfolio site is already live, www.seliecretaive.com I just need to update it.
I am already running some affiliate marketing campaigns and I’m also a member of the BlogHer Ad Network. I will have to look into selling text links, sounds like it may be a good fit as well. I only have a page rank of 2 on my site, so it would be interesting to find out their requirements. I’ll try www.linkxl.com and scratchback.com.
day 7 and Day 8 of 15 days of marketing

Well here I go again combining to days into one. I actually completed Day 7 on Day 7 but after finishing my apple martini I figured it was too dangerous to blog. We’ve all heard of drunken dialing, but drunken blogging can be much worse, especially if Google decides to spider your site, and then you have your crazy, illegible post is out there.
Day 7’s assignment was actually pretty fun, it was really cool to see how many people were linking to my blog, okay there wasn’t that many but I love Tumblr what a great way to create that press page. I created one for Bizzie Mommy and will be adding the Tumblr feed to my online baby boutique very soon. I signed up for Google Alerts so you can learn when your name shows up across the web. I never even heard of it but I singned up immediately.
Day 6 of 15 days of marketing

Today is all about Social Media Gurus and how and why they are relevant to me. To be honest I’ve been very interested in social marketing and pr and really wanted to learn more about it. Unfortunately working two jobs and taking care of two kids gives me little time for professional development.
However I am slowly trying to squeeze things in when I can.
This week’s assignment
To subscribe to a few social media marketing industry blogs, which I did just that. To my surprise I’ve actually heard of a couple of them. I even started following a couple of them on my twitter.

day 4-5 of 15 days of marketing

I completely missed day four’s assignment due to being completely engulfed in the election process last night so now I have to play catch up. I am so happy about Obama becoming the 44th president. A little disappointed about a couple of the Propositions in California and here I thought I lived in a liberal state.
But I’ve had enough election talk to last at least 4 years so back to my 15 days of marketing.
Day 4
The assignment was to tweet, talk about your 3 favorite brands twitter, tagging them #15days. I think it was just for that one day, so it feels kind of silly doing that now. However I did realize that I need to follow more PR people on twitter. It’s funny really because I went to school for PR and now here I am trying to track down PR people. I went into web design after college and never had one job in PR. I’ll be looking around twitter for some new PR friends to follow.

It is day 2 of 14 days of marketing, which means it’s not too late to sign up for your self. Check it out at jessicaknows.com.
My homework assignment: To sign up and take action on some of the points she mentioned. So what did I do?
I registered for some networking websites, Mom Central, Mom Select and One2One Network. I can’t wait to look around the sites and meet some more moms.
I also signed up for typeamom.net and I can’t wait to dig deeper into that site. I applied to become a contributor of blissfullydomestic.com and am getting more information on savvymoms.com.
So far I am in love with 15 days of marketing. It’s helping me push through my “woos me” slump this week.
day 1 of 15 days of marketing

So I decided to add one other thing to my “to do” list this week. I decided to try out Jessica’s 15 days of Marketing on jessicaknows.com.
I need to seriously start marketing my sites if I want to transition into “wahmdom” sometime this decade. My goal is much sooner than that of course. So of course on the first day we got home work and it’s been a long time since I used that term. My position is probably different then others because not only am I a business owner, but I am also a blogger. So after following her recommendations I signed up for some really cool sites. You should check it out at jessicknows.com.
