Free WordPress Education, Website Revenue Tracking and More..

First let me just say how grateful I am for your support of FreelanceMom.com.  If there is anything you would like for me to cover, please put in the comments below.

Now, on to what I have for you.

As I’m sure you are, I’m always on the hunt for resources, tips and tricks that will help save me time or make me a little smarter in all areas of my business.

So, here are some I found recently and wanted to share.

RESOURCES

SEO

I follow a blog called Sugarrae and she had a great post, including a spreadsheet you can use – on how she tracks her affiliate partners and website earnings.

Kid activities while working

I know many of you work from home and it’s great if there is an activity that you could give your children to do while you send that email or make that phone call you need to make.
Enter Woo Jr. .I have actually downloaded quite a few coloring pages and used some of their kid crafts and love them.

Website Tweaks

Do you ever need a small tweak here and there to your website or blog?
I do and I am tired of bugging the developer that helped me launch my website and he is pretty pricey.

So, I ran across a site called Tweaky.com that can make those for changes for you at around $40.

Of course, you can learn to make these changes yourself, but if you are like me,  I don’t mind budgeting a few dollars for some minor changes to my website that can add major impact to my audience and conversions.

Social Media
Interesting infographic – that shows lots of interesting stats on social media and at the bottom includes the best times to post by industry!

FREE EDUCATION – WordPress and Creating Multiple Streams of Income

I never say no to free education(from credible people).  Here are two to check out.

1. The Launch Coach – Dave Navarro(not the singer) is offering some free downloads that I highly recommend.   I believe he will only offer for a limited time.
Topics are below.

You do have to give him your email to get the downloads, but hey, you can’t knock him for using a good strategy to build his email list.

When I first started with FreelanceMom.com I kept hearing about this guy.  So, I went and checked him out and he really does have some good information and insight on strategies to help you sell more of what you offer.
Note:  I am NOT an affiliate and do not get paid for recommending him.

2. WordPress Academy
WordPress Academy is offering a full week of FREE webinars on web design, internet business development, branding and entrepreneurship – March 4th – 8th.
Speaker include people like Michel Fortin, Beth Barany, Natalie Sisson
Topics include:

  • “Small Business WordPress in 1 hour”
  • “Secrets to Growing Your WordPress Site Organically”
  • “How to Become Irresistible to a Market”
  • “Creating Online Communities”
  • “Writing and Promoting Killer Blog Posts”

Hope this helps.

With Appreciation and Gratitude,

Lisa
