I can’t believe it’s been three years since I started getting more serious with my blog.
As I look back to some previous articles I think “What was I thinking”?
Example my third post titled, Why Do I Work From Home I wrote because I was hoping to start up in an MLM company and be able to stay working at home.
I loved the freedom to do what I wanted when I wanted. However a greater being had other plans for me.
I believe now that not everyone is meant to be in a network marketing company and be a top performer. Okay I hear the doubters and the I told you so’s screaming and laughing at me.
It takes alot to get people involved in your home business. To buy the product your selling and trying to recruit others below you to actually make decent money.
Yes I still believe in network marketing. However it just hasn’t been working out for me. Oh I can hear it all now.. Did you do this and that? Yes and yes!!!
Three year doesn’t seem like that long ago. I thought I just started yesterday ha ha ha.
Happy reading!

Weather we like it or not Spring is here. Oh sure it’s snowing right now here in Aurora, CO but that doesn’t change the fact that Spring it here.
When one thinks of Spring it usually means cleaning up inside your home. Dusting, vacuuming and a good deep sprucing up. What’s the purpose? I believe it’s to throw out the winter blues and bring in the sweet smeels and sounds of the new season.
Which lead me to thinking how do I spruce up my blog?
First
Scroll through your blog post see if there are some older ones that you may want to delete. As I looked back I found one or two and I was bewildered at how I came to write them.
Secondly
Repurpose your articles. On December 19, 2015 I wrote this article on how to repurpose your content. It’s really not as hard as you maybe thinking.
Some of the best tips for bloggers come from my fellow Power Affiliate Club Authors. Check us out see how we can help you.
Still scared to repurpose your content?
Go ahead try it, you will be amazed at your self and what you can accomplish.
Lastly
Enter a blogging challenge, increase your vocabulary, use images in your articles. Images help raise the bar of your posts.
Comment on others posts, this will increase traffic to your site as well.
Hope these tips helped you out.
As always,

I don’t claim to be a professional blogger. But then what is a professional blogger?
I found an interesting article by professional blogger John Saddington titled The Definition of a ‘Professional Blogger’ or ‘Full Time Blogger’ In this post he explains a few different viewpoints.
There are a number of differing viewpoints and not one of them is necessarily incorrect; in fact, anyone has the full right to call themselves a ‘Full Time Blogger‘ or ‘Professional Blogger’ regardless of any outside opinion. But, there seems to be an understanding, both cultural and nuanced, about what it means to be ‘Pro.’
Just think about it for a moment, especially as it relates to professions and jobs in other areas – What do you think of when you say that so and so is a Professional? You probably assume a number of things, right?
I started my blog a few years ago just to voice my opinion about things going on in my life I am passionate about. Learning how to fine tune, hone in, really dig deeper into the fine art of blogging came from meeting Lesly Federici owner and expert author of The Power Affiliate Club. The PAC is a community of bloggers helping each other and offering advice.
I needed to have a voice
Writing my thoughts down and sharing with my readers gives me joy. Mind you not all comments I receive are nice and thank you’s. However for the most part people get interested and comment back. Having your followers comment on any posted article is an honor. I must be doing something right.
When I first started out my posts were short, not alot allot to read and I didn’t really post many images. My very first blog article Creating Your Brand looks absolutely pathetic now.
What was the point I was trying to convey to anyone?
“How do you create more leads, more people to talk to when you’ve gone through your list and heard all the excuses and all the “NO’s” so many times?
Create a brand for yourself. What ??? What I mean is one must be willing to create a brand of themselves on the internet to attract the people they want into their business.”
That’s the jest of it. No instructions given, no real helpful advice. Not so much as even a link to another resource for help.
My main goal
For you , my readers to like what you’re reading and hopefully learn something new along the way.
My personal goal is to continue growing and learning about ways to improve my writing as well as my mindset for success.
I hope you found this enlightening and as always,
Gain The Advantage.
