I am currently outlining some product ideas that I hope to roll out in the future, and to put it simply… I need your feedback. I need to know what YOU as a reader of BGB and fellow entrepreneur (or wannabe entrepreneur!) would happily pay good money for me to create for you. Now I know it’s tough to part with money, which is why I need your help in the creation department. I only...
We’ve seen them all come and we’ve seen them all go. There were different gimmicks, different features, different ways of trying to reel in the public and get as many people as possible to sign up for an account. We’ve watched their birth, their tentative climb towards success, the eventual plateau in popularity, and finally the natural death that comes to claim everything in this world. No, I’m...
Hey BGB’ers! OK, today is the big day! The results of my first ever Blog Carnival, run by Miz Joella at BlogsWithWings and hosted by yours truly. First I want to thank everyone who participated; it was fun to read everyone’s views on monetizing a blog without ticking your readers off and making a general fat mess of it. J We actually got a ton of spam submissions as well, which was extremely...
So, in the spirit of the #customerlove movement started by David and perpetuated by LaVonne and now Holly (And because it’s the Sunday night before Labor Day and Sunday nights such as this are supposed to be fun!) I decided to share 5 things about yours truly (meaning moi for you slow folks that are already getting your holiday weekend party on… 😉 ) that you might not know. (And by...
Often, you’ll find many freelancers are a creative lot. They are drawn to freelancing because the idea of making a living on their own terms appeals, so they can free up more of their time for creative pursuits. I know… I’m a pretty creative chick myself. However, creative doesn’t always do the job of paying the bills. Sure it’s fun to take on that job that challenges your creativity and makes...
Hey BGB’ers… I’m actually writing this post because originally I prepared a great little guide as a giveaway to my newsletter subscribers. (OK fine, let’s call it like it is shall we, it’s a reward. Or a treat. Or a freakin’ cookie, how’s that?) But… it was intended to be sung from the rooftops via pop-up. Any hoo, I scrapped that because I...

Dirty… you totally thought I was going to say something different didn’t you? Minds out of the gutter people! But OK, so mayhap I did exaggerate just an eensy weensy bit there. Maybe you can’t keep a client enslaved and enamoured with your work for the entire duration of happily ever after… after all, ever after is a pretty long time. But hey… you can damn sure try! You can make...
This is a guest post by Annie Wallace, with some great insight and tips into being a successful (primarily) right-brained entrepreneur. AKA the “creative type” that loves the “idea phase” but struggles a bit with “the biz” side of things. Now who does that sound like… you perhaps? In business and in life we tend to categorize people as ‘left brained’ or...
Hey all you entrepreneurial rockstars. Have ya missed me? 😉 Unfortunately in addition to going through some family turmoil and custody issues with my step-son… I was also hit with a migraine early Monday eve, and it literally put me out of commission all week long. Today is the first day I’ve rolled out of bed without pain in my head. (Look… I’m a poet and didn’t know it too!) Hopefully, (fingers...
