Tammy's Goals

[tam2005]

Hmm, well let me think here. LOL...It's been a crazy morning so far with some personal phone calls and other things. :hee:

There are tons of things I need to be doing! :shock: lol
But here are my top 3...

1) Add more articles to my WAH Opportunities site
2) Write more articles for directories and for payment
3) Get listed in more web directories. I've been neglecting this big time as of late.

Like I said, there are tons more...but those are the 3 things I'm going to try and get done in the very near future. (Like in the next 2 weeks) ;)

[Lori]

Hi Tammy!

Sounds like fun stuff! Remember to submit articles to FreelanceMom sometimes :)

Let us know how you do this week!

Lori

P.S. I moved your post to your own goal thread...

[tam2005]

Thank you Lori, I will keep you posted as time permits. :)

[Audrey]

Tammy,

Are you wanting article submissions? If so, perhaps I can help you there, which would also help me in my article marketing goals.

[tam2005]

Yes, I am Audrey for my WAH Opportunities site. You can email me. Thanks. :)

[tam2005]

I'm working on adding some new articles today. :)
Also...will be starting to write a couple of new ones.

[tam2005]

Well...I've added some new articles today and will add a few more tomorrow. I've also managed to get a good start on 2 articles for payment. (not work at home or marketing) for a change. ;)

In the morning, I will also get back to submitting my sites to web directories. Definitely a step in the right direction. :)

[Audrey]

Tammy,

How's your morning going? Are you getting your site submitted? As I posted, I've been working on submission this morning. It's time consuming.

[tam2005]

Hey Audrey, a little bit of a slow go this morning. ;)

I've got 6 new articles added to WAH Opportunities and now will start submitting to web directories. Hopefully later on today, I'll get back to my 2 articles I started writing...if not, tomorrow.

Yep, it's all time consuming! :p

[tam2005]

Well today will be a short work day for me, as I'm going to visit my Dad. This morning I'm planning on submitting my sites to web directories and at least get the majority of one article finished for payment before I leave. :)

Just to edit from yesterday...I added 7 articles to WAH Opportunities, not 6.
;)

[Lori]

7 articles -- that's GREAT!

[tam2005]

Yep...and will add more beginning of next week. :)

I'm finished with the web directory submissions for the day, and now off to that article! :work:

[Audrey]

Tammy...can't wait to read tomorrow and see if you did indeed get that article done.

[WorkAtHomeSpace]

Looks like we're all progressing quite well here.

:)

[tam2005]

Well...I've almost got the article completed. I just have to polish it up in the morning. I also have a good start on the other one. ;)

I think this goal buddy network was a really good thing. :D Thanks Lori!
Yes, quite well Sophia. This week I think I've been as organized as I've ever been! lol :p

[tam2005]

This will be a writing day for me. I'll be completing my current article, also will be working on the second one. These 2 will be submission for payment.

And next week, I'll be starting more work at home articles for submission to directories...hopefully.

I also have to submit to more web directories and add more recipes to my recipe site.

So...my goals for next week are:

1) The 2 articles for payment hopefully will have been completed and submitted.
2) Begin on more work at home articles for directories.
3) Submit to more web directories.
4) Add more recipes on my recipe site. :)

[tam2005]

I completed my articles...yeah! That's about all I accomplished though, because I had a lot of personal calls today. (stuff for my Dad).

Have a great evening and weekend all! :D

[Audrey]

Tammy....it feels good to complete those articles...way to go!!!!!

[tam2005]

Yes, it does...thanks! Website updates tomorrow and Monday. ;)

Never ends. lol

[WorkAtHomeSpace]

Please let us know when your articles are approved so we can read them.

:)

[tam2005]

Sure thing. ;)

I was doing web updates all day today. Tomorrow will be catching up on forums, job leads, and coming up with 2 new ideas for WAH articles.

[tam2005]

Well...I actually wrote an article in one sitting today. :p

I'll share it on my site WAH Opportunities (http://www.onestopwebemployment.com/articles-cat-motivation.php) later on this evening. So far, I just have one article in that category. But by this evening, or sooner, who knows...I'll have 2 in that category.

Hopefully, I'll come up with the other WAH article sometime this week.
I will also be submitting to more web directories and adding more recipes to my recipe site. Not necessarily in that order. lol

[Audrey]

Way to go Tammy!!!! Provide us a link so we can read the article, once its up.

[tam2005]

Thanks Audrey,

It's been up for awhile. The link was provided up above. ;)
Here it is...the last one listed.

http://www.onestopwebemployment.com/articles-cat-motivation.php

[Audrey]

Tammy,

I love it. What a great article!!!

[tam2005]

Thank you. :) I wrote it in about 30 minutes. The idea came to me yesterday while reading the goal posts here.

Trying to come up with one other article for this week. ;) And will be adding recipes to my recipe site today.

[tam2005]

Well, I'm happy to say that one of my articles were accepted and payment is in progress. I'm still waiting on the other one. When the article is published, I'll give you guys a link.

I was productive and added a handful of new recipes to Cookin At Home. :) I have 4 more laying here in front of me ready for me to add. I'll do that sometime tomorrow. I'm thankful for all the recipes that my Mother had. :D

For tomorrow, I'm going to do web directories again. I have a ton of pages of directories that I submitted to a long time ago. I'm going to go through them and check if my sites are still listed. And I still am going to come up with a new work at home article.

So, for the rest of the week, I will be...

1. Adding a few more recipes to Cookin At Home
2. Web directories
3. Come up with at least one more idea for a work at home article and a new article for payment.

[Audrey]

Tammy,

You are on a roll. Awesome!!!!

[tam2005]

Here is the link for the article that was approved...(first one listed) still waiting for the other one. Should hear soon. Off to add more recipes. :)

http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/94163/tam2005.html

[tam2005]

I have the recipes added and done for the day. Still thinking of a new WAH article idea and another one for payment.

Tomorrow...web directories. ;)

[Audrey]

Tammy,

Nice article on ADD.

[tam2005]

Thanks Audrey. :)

[tam2005]

Well...this other article, I have to rewrite. This may take awhile because it's dear to my heart and I want to take my time with it. But I've already been paid for the ADD article. :)

But...I can always write another one in the meantime and go back to that one. Not sure yet. :?

[tam2005]

Well, I've finished a page of web directories. Yeah! :) I also found another article idea (marketing) for payment and have got a good start with it. I'm heading out somewhere at the moment. May work more on the article when I return sometime this evening.

Have a nice day everyone! :D

[Audrey]

Page of web directories?

[tam2005]

Hey Audrey...yep. I submitted my sites quite some time ago to various web directories and I printed them out. I'm just going through them. :)

[tam2005]

I finished the new work at home article for payment. Will take another look at it later on today and submit it for payment.

I'm going to try and get my articles submitted to more directories today as well.

[tam2005]

Well...I've been away from the Net the last 4 days. Been dealing with some personal stuff.

But I'll get back with it as soon as I can. :)
Have to get caught up with some things.

[tam2005]

Maybe I can get back on track now. We'll see. ;)

Tomorrow I'll be submitting my articles to more directories. Not much of a productive week...but life happens.

[Audrey]

Tammy,

We all have day/weeks where life takes over. I know that YOU can look back and see where you are today over a year ago...that's called progress which is what we all want :)

[tam2005]

Thanks Audrey. ;)

Yes, things are definitely much better then a year ago. :p

[tam2005]

I'm forever posting in here. lol ;)

I've just now gotten caught up on all my site work. So...the article directories will have to wait until tomorrow. :p

Maybe next week will be a lot more productive. :work:

[tam2005]

Another article accepted at AC! :)

Here's the link for when it's published.
http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/94163/tam2005.html

[Audrey]

Tammy,

That's GREAT!!! Once accepted there, are you able to then submit it elsewhere?

[tam2005]

No, I submitted it as exclusive.

[tam2005]

I submitted my existing articles to more directories today. Monday, I hope to do more of the same. Monday I will also be catching up on some forums I haven't been to in ages.

Will be busy over the weekend. Hope you all have an awesome one! :)

[tam2005]

Hope you guys had a nice weekend. ;)

Well I'm concentrating more on catching up on forums that I haven't been to in awhile today.

This week I intend to:

Gather more article ideas both for payment and directories
Update a few pages on WAH Opportunities
Submit my existing articles to more directories
:)

[tam2005]

The new article is published on AC. :) Waiting for another one as well.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/94163/tam2005.html

[Audrey]

Tammy,

You are doing great. Super article. I love reading about marketing and "recipes" LOL.

[tam2005]

Thanks Audrey...I thought it would be something different. :)

[tam2005]

My other article was accepted and published. :)
It's the first one on the list...

http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/94163/tam2005.html

Now off to submitting my existing articles to more directories.

[tam2005]

Well...today was not that productive. I've been having computer issues. :rolleyes:
But I did get my articles submitted to more directories. One other thing that took up my time today. I noticed in one of my articles...I had an error in my headline. So...I had to go correct it on lots of forums and directories. Not sure I got to all of them. But oh well. :(

I'm also not in the mood for anymore goals today.
We'll see what tomorrow brings. lol :rolleyes:

[tam2005]

Well...I'm a little more motivated today. ;)

I'm currently searching out my job leads, updating my blogs, sites. Also, going to try and update some of the pages on WAH Opportunities today.

I also have a new article idea, and I'll be getting a start on that.

:)

[WorkAtHomeSpace]

Nice article on Alzheimer. :)

My other article was accepted and published. :)
It's the first one on the list...

http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/94163/tam2005.html

Now off to submitting my existing articles to more directories.

[tam2005]

Thank you Sophia. :) I'm now trying to find time to start another one. I have the idea...just have to get it written.

[tam2005]

Well...I had a short work day today. Went to visit my Dad.

Although, I have a good head start on a new article. I didn't get to updating the pages I wanted to get updated on wah opportunities. I'll get to that next week.

Have a lovely weekend. :)

[tam2005]

Well...last Saturday morning I began cleaning house, got some things done an then started cleaning out my desk. I had everything out of my desk and all out on my dinning room table.

Then I happened to stub my toe in my kitchen. I broke or fractured my baby toe (not sure which really) but anyway, it's been really sore and hurts like crazy when I wear a shoe. :?

I did get my desk all back in order finally. And yesterday I had to take my Dad somewhere so....things have been put off for a bit here.

Today will be a catch-up day for me. I have to get my blogs updated and an article up for Real WAH Jobs. Tomorrow I will be catching up on forums. I also hope to do some more writing on the article I started for payment. I have another idea for an article as well.

For this week...I hope to get a couple of pages of WAH Opportunities updated. The 2 articles completed. I also want to get a few more articles up on WAH Opportunities. :)

[Audrey]

Tammy,

You have a lot going on right now. I really admire all that you are doing and the goals you continue to set.

[tam2005]

Thanks Audrey...well you have to keep pushing on. ;)

That's the only way we succeed with our businesses. Plus I like to stay busy. :p
I also just started a new Holiday Advertising Sale. New motivation. :)

[tam2005]

Well...I have a rough draft of the article. I'll let it sit for a bit and go back to it.

For tomorrow, I'll be updating 2 pages of WAH Opportunities and maybe get more articles on there as well.

Hopefully, I'll have the article completed and submitted for payment sometime on Friday. :)

[Audrey]

Great job on the writing Tammy!!

[tam2005]

Thanks Audrey. :)

[tam2005]

Well...I'm a bit frustrated this morning. Something went wrong with my admin email from onestopwebemployment.com

I'm not sure what happened. :? I've spent this whole morning updating my site with my new email address and also contacting a few people and all my advertisers from the site. :?

I'm finished with horde! LOL :cuss:

Anyway, my goals went on the back burner AGAIN! I'll see what happens this afternoon and tomorrow. It's good tomorrow is another day. :p

[Hisgirl0305]

Just want to give ya a hug (((hugs)))

[WorkAtHomeSpace]

I know that feeling. Recently I had problems with my contact form...I was wondering why I wasn't getting any emails. lol I've never used any of the email in the cpanel. I don't think they work very well. Are you still using it or do you have it configured to OE?

Understandable your goals went on the backburner. There are some things that just need more attention.

Keep going forward because you can't go backwards. lol

:)

[tam2005]

Thank you guys. ;)

I haven't deleted that email account yet. I can't send or receive from it though. I've always had problems with OE. :?

[Audrey]

Email problems are the worst :( I"m glad you were able to get your new email out to everyone and changed on your site.

[tam2005]

Me too Audrey. :)

Well...I've completed the new article and submitted it for payment. This will be a short work day for me, as I'm getting company. It's my brother and my Dad. ;) Dad is getting new dentures made and they will be here while they wait for them to get done with them. Take impressions and get your dentures on the same day. :D

I will be working this weekend on getting 2 pages of WAH Opps updated.

Have a great weekend everyone. :)

[tam2005]

I've successfully completed the updates on those pages on my WAH Opportunities site today...and a couple of other pages. ;)

Tomorrow, I will be adding more work at home articles to the site.

[tam2005]

Well...I've gotten a lot accomplished over the weekend. Some pages updated on WAH Opps, some new articles on there as well.

I also have some new article ideas. This week I plan on working on more articles mainly. I also need to get more recipes on my recipe site.

Also, I will be doing site updates for November. :)

[Audrey]

Tammy,

That's awesome. Tonight is the first night I've been home in a week. I'm bummed that I've gotten next to nothing done business wise, so a huge high five and what you've done!!!

[tam2005]

Well...thank you Audrey. :)

I've been lazy on the writing this week.

And I think I need to get out more! LOL! :hee:

[tam2005]

I've fallen a bit behind with everything the last 2 days with site updates for November. :rolleyes:

And like I said, I've been kind of on the lazy side on the writing. lol

However, I did write just a short article for a blog entry today on Articles Plus. I'll extend that and write a longer version of it for directories OR payment, not sure yet. On second thought...that topic is probably well saturated, I think I'll write it for directories. ;)

Still waiting on publication of another article.

And as for the recipes on my recipe site, I'll get more on there over the weekend or first part of next week.

I'm actually thinking about taking tomorrow off. :p

[judilynn]

Your putting recipes up on your site? Will have to pay attention to that. Been on a cooking and baking kick lately. It's the season.

Good luck on the writing and submitting to directories. How long does it usually take you to hear back?

[Audrey]

Tammy,

Enjoy your day off!!!

[tam2005]

Your putting recipes up on your site? Will have to pay attention to that. Been on a cooking and baking kick lately. It's the season.

Good luck on the writing and submitting to directories. How long does it usually take you to hear back?

Judi, it varies for the directories. Sometimes a couple of days, sometimes just a couple of hours, and others maybe a couple weeks to a month. It just depends. ;)

I just had a new article published on AC...if you care to read it. It's the first entry.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/94163/tam2005.html

And I am now working on a new project. It's not anything to do with business. It's personal. You all just have to wait. ;)

And as for my goals for next week...

1) Rewrite the article I just posted on AP for directories as well as a few others.
2) More recipes on my recipe site.
3) Continue on my new project. :shades:

And Audrey...I did enjoy my day off. Thanks!
:)

[judilynn]

Tam, I write for AC as well and added you to my favorites. Great articles btw.

You have a new project, can't wait to see what that is. Always exciting to start one of those. Let me know when you are ready to reveal it.

Glad to see you enjoyed your day off! Those are so much fun, and it seems working from home, not as often as they should be.

[tam2005]

Thank you Judi. :)

Yes, I'm excited about my new project. :D

Oh...here are some photos of my office space. I told Lara I would share some photos. I just shared them on my own forum as well. ;)

:D

[Audrey]

Nice desk and I love the throw :)

[tam2005]

It's a big desk! It took forever for my hubby to put that thing together. It was extremely complicated. :? He almost gave up on it. And he's very bright/smart when it comes to things like that. It was quite late that evening, but he managed to get it together. That project costed me dearly!
:smooch: lol

You know what he said?--"If we move, or you want to move this, chop it up and burn it and buy a new one!" LMAO!! :hee: (Of course, it won't fit through the door)

I love it and sure don't want to part with it. :)

[judilynn]

Nice desk. I think I can understand about not wanting to move it though! And it looks so organized.

[tam2005]

Thanks Judi...well, it's organized at the moment. lol ;)
We'll see in a week or two. :hee:

[WorkAtHomeSpace]

Post back in a week or two...no cheating...:p

[tam2005]

I don't have anymore film. HA! lol :hee:
Seriously, I plan on keeping it neat. :)

I'm planning on revealing my personal project probably on Friday. :shades:

This morning I'm adding more recipes to my cookin site. And the rest of the week, I'll be doing some rewriting of a couple of articles.

[WorkAtHomeSpace]

Looking forward to your launch of your new project.

[tam2005]

Well...I'm happy to say it's pretty much on it's way now. But still not revealing until Friday. :p
I was lying awake last night (well this morning) thinking of ideas for this project and, as a result, I got up about 4:45 AM. I couldn't take it any longer. lol Been working on it ever since.

I've gotten a handful of new recipes on my recipe site. But...haven't gotten much done on the writing. The next couple of days, I will be concentrating on rewriting (hopefully) 2 articles. :)

[tam2005]

Well...this morning I got one of the articles re-written. This evening, I'll be posting it on my site. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll get to the other one. :)
Have to head out somewhere.

Hope you all have an awesome day! :D

[tam2005]

I have that article up on my site here: (top one of course)
http://www.real-wah-jobs.com/

I'm planning on getting it up on WAH Opps too later on today. Also, next week...I'll be submitting to more article directories.

I told you all I'd show you this personal project today. I bet a lot of you had guessed that it was another blog...and you're right! lol :p

I wanted to do one last one. And believe me...this is THE last one!
This is a very personal one--not business at all. It is a place where I can go and write about anything I want, or post about anything I want. :)

It features any thoughts I may have for the day, any personal articles I want to share, poetry, my personal goals, humor, news, and just anything else I care to share.

Tammy's Journal Blog (http://tammys-journal.blogspot.com)

[WorkAtHomeSpace]

Nice job on the blog Tammy. That's one thing about having a blog that you do for fun -- you don't feel obligated to really "work" it.

:)

[tam2005]

Thank you Sophia...I'm having lots of fun on it for sure. :)

[judilynn]

Love the looks of the new blog!

Personal blogs are so much fun. There is no right or wrong, just fun :)

[tam2005]

Thanks Judi...I have ideas for about 3 new posts too. It's fun, and it's addicting! :work: :D

[judilynn]

I can't wait to read them!

[tam2005]

I just posted a new topic yesterday on it. :)

And for the week ahead...it's submitting to article directories and doing some more writing. I have 4 more article ideas. ;)

[Audrey]

Tammy,

I've been gone for the weekend so just catching up. Nice job on the blog.

[tam2005]

Thank you Audrey, I appreciate your kind words. :)

[judilynn]

Loved your post Tammy!

[tam2005]

Thank you! And also thanks so much for your comment. :D

I have tons of ideas for future posts...and am having a blast with it! :work:

[tam2005]

Well...I had a mammogram today and had to make a Mom post on the new blog. Memories kept flooding, so I had to vent.

Now that that's over, I can concentrate on the rest of my week. I have to make entries on my other blogs first off. Then continue submitting articles to directories. I also have to complete the article I started on Monday. I have lots of other article ideas as well. I hope to at least get a good start on a second one before the week is up. :)

Oh Judi, I like your site..."Market What You Make" very nice.

[judilynn]

my mammogram is next week. I am looking forward to it :hee:

I love your blog. You really get to know someone with a personal blog. Makes them more real and not just an email you know?
