Exciting News!!!!!!

I have such exciting news to share today!!!  Yesterday, I recalled a conversation I had with Shelli @ Beauties and the Baseball Coach the other day.  She said she's considering buying her domain name for herself for Christmas!  What a sweet idea.  So for poops and giggles, I decided to see if www.mysewcalledlife.com was available and holy crap it was!!!!  One site was selling for only $2.95 for the first year!!!!!!  Done.  For $3 I now own my own website!!!!  Don't go there yet though.  Its all "under construction" and ish.

Downside:  I know nothing about fixing up my blog and making things all fancy!  Help all you techno gurus!!!!!

ALSO!!!!!  I got a sweet little Tweet yesterday as well (follow me on Twitter: @kort886) from Melissa over at Lulu and Sweet Pea.  She does an awesome little Pinsperation Project Day every Tuesday.  Last week, I linked up my Pinterest Project Monday post that I had posted the day before.  And would  you believe it if I told  you that I was the MOST FREAKING VISITED SITE FROM HER LINK UP?!?!?!?!?!  Seriously.  I'm just a baby little blogger over here.  I'm no Shannon Dew or anything.  I mean, I see this chick repinned on Pinterest like a boss.  She's got her blog going on.

So that's my goal.  I'm going to try to promote the crap outta my lil ol bloggy and maybe put a couple of ads on here and supplement the humble income at my house!

Do any of you regular big-time bloggers have any suggestions on jump-starting my rise to fame in the blog world?!  (See sarcasm warning in profile :)

  1. 1. Add a followers button so people can follow you!
    2. Think about content vs. making money and it will come naturally! Write about what you love. I haven't made any money blogging, but I did get a $50 credit for textbooks that I took full advantage of!

  2. If you want to spice up your blog think about getting a professional to do your design so that it's more "you" and no one else will have anything like it! There are some great designers out there that don't charge an arm and a leg! Katie from Loves Of Life did my last one and it was only $50! I read somewhere once that it takes 4 seconds to either keep or lose a reader/follower b/c of the design of a blog. I think that's so true. Sad though because I'm sure a lot of people miss out on good blogs b/c they judge based on the design/layout. Also just blog from your heart. You don't have to go all out there like some do, like I do, if you aren't comfortable but I feel people respond the most to the posts they can relate to. OK whew! That was a novel,sorry!!!

    2. I am not sure if she's still doing blog designs or not but if she isn't I'm sure she can refer you to someone just as great! And thanks for the love! I appreciate it so much!
