Are You Happy With Your Blog?

Dec-21-2008 By Barbara Zak

I first started blogging in March of this year. I’ll admit I’m not very techie, but at that time I was determined that this was going to be my retirement career.  All I knew is I wanted to write. The rest I hoped would just take care of itself.  I had written some good posts and gotten some favorable response, but nothing that knocked my socks off.  I knew there had to be a better way.

At Blog Catalog, I noticed Forced Green.  I fell in love with that site and longed for something that beautiful. There also was a widget on that site about Whole-Hog-Blogs.  I just had to know what that was.  I was amazed at what they had to offer, and for a reasonable price. They even offer help and training forever, or until you feel confident to do some of the behind the scene things on your own.

Theresa Cahill and Jeff Greer employ the best ways to social media market your website or blog.  Unlike the old ways of cold calling, direct mail, or even randomly harassing people…all the proven things that don’t work.  I can assure you they have a system that WORKS!  Whole-hog-blogs couples online SEO marketing, with the proper amount of social marketing and networking, with a little ezine marketing thrown in.  It is a magical combination that pulls customers to you. Everytime I check my stats, I’m amazed at where I started and how far I’ve come in not even 6 months!  They helped me choose a theme, that totally is me and helps me express who I am to my audience.

Between the two of them Theresa and Jeff have 10 plus years of experience online.  So,start the New Year off right,  with the easiest most effective ways to market yourself and your blog or business online.

Barbara’s Got A LadyBug

Jul-10-2008 By Barbara Zak

Hi there….  How do you like the new look and theme?  I have been thinking for a while about how to integrate my day job ( Independent provider/job coach for an autistic client) into the blog. I got lucky and joined Whole-hog-blogs. It’s one of the better choices I’ve made, ladybug included.

You will be getting the same “green” type articles and information here, but also help and information in the area of disabilities (not just developmental) ones. I have devoted the last twenty years of my life to working with  the devlopmentally disabled population.  Most of that time was spent working in Special Education, within the school system. Now, I work independendantly through the state. I am my own contractor. The work, to me is not like work, just a slice out of my day. That is not to say that it doesn’t have it’s challenges.  For me, it is a very rewarding place to be in my life. It is my belief that if you take the “dis” out of a dissability and focus on the ability, you get better results. Most people in this population are more able than is often recognized. It also helps to have some fun and throw in some humor along the way. Come on back anytime, as we explore ways to work toward a better tomorrow.
