Donations, Shout Outs, and Plans

I just wanted to update a few things with you today. It’s been awhile since I’ve added an update post and unless you are signed up to the OMV newslet­ter, you may have missed a cou­ple things. So…

Dona­tions

About a month ago I put up a dona­tion post for a friend of mine who lost her house to a fire. On that post I said I would keep every­one updated on how things go with it. Unfor­tu­nately there hasn’t been much to update about as far as the dona­tions go. So far, I’ve only had one per­son donate 5 bucks towards it. That’s it. I’m a bit dis­ap­pointed but I don’t blame any­one. Maybe there just hasn’t been enough peo­ple to see it. Although all the RTs were awe­some thank you for that.

With that said, I’m still going to keep it up so that when I imple­ment some ideas to bring in more traf­fic, it should get more expo­sure. And it got me to think­ing that I’m going to have some kind of dona­tion thing all the time. Not for me, but for oth­ers needs. Just one of my lit­tle ways to help out.

Shout Outs

I just wanted to give to Lexi Rodrigo of The Savvy Free­lancer. She had a lit­tle con­test a cou­ple weeks ago to win a book that just recently came out. The idea was to give a tes­ti­mo­nial for her prod­uct: The Savvy Freelancer’s Web­site Secrets. Of course I did that a long time ago but the crazy part is I actu­ally won. I never win things like that.

So it was a nice lit­tle sur­prise and I just wanted to thank you Lexi for the chance to win. So I won a copy of The Wealthy Free­lancer as well as a bunch of bonuses. I am cur­rently read­ing through it right now and I love it so far. Excel­lent infor­ma­tion in there for free­lancers of any kind. I like that there are a lot of tac­tics in there that aren’t all online too. But this isn’t a review so I’ll stop there, but look for one soon.

Thank you Lexi!

Plans and Ideas

This blog is grow­ing pretty quickly (could use a bit more traf­fic, but I’m work­ing on that) and I have sev­eral ideas I would like to imple­ment both for this blog and for my writ­ing busi­ness. If you remem­ber, I asked what kind of infor­ma­tion would you want to know for inter­views I have planned. Well, those are still com­ing it’s just going to take some time as I get the ball rolling on a cou­ple other things.

I still want to do that, it just won’t be right away. I am, how­ever, still inter­ested in your feed­back on that so don’t hes­i­tate to com­ment or con­tact me. I’d love to hear all your ideas and suggestions.

As I men­tioned in a post last week I’m work­ing on stream­lin­ing things for this blog and my busi­ness so there may be a few adjust­ments here and there. As I iron things out, I’ll start adding in some ideas I have. I have a few that should be high qual­ity con­tent for every­one, but we’ll get to what those are at a later date.

Just So You Know

Not your typ­i­cal post today I know, but I like being trans­par­ent and let­ting my read­ers know what’s going on. I’m work­ing hard to really get this thing going so I can pro­vide valu­able con­tent and knowl­edge to more peo­ple and to bring some new and fresh ways to deliver it. I’m pretty excited about it all and hope you get a lot from what comes in the future. For now don’t forget:

Knowl­edge is most def­i­nitely power, just don’t for­get to put it to use it!

p.s. the only link that is an affil­i­ate link is for The Wealthy Free­lancer which leads to ama­zon. Oth­er­wise they are all straight links.
