She’s Alive

Where does the time go, I last updated in March? Was it really that long ago? More than half the year is gone already.

A short recap of the past few months: the full time contract position I wrote about in my last post ended a few weeks ago now. While the steady checks were nice, it ended up a good thing for me. I now have one freelance gig, that has expanded considerably in pay and responsibility and my sites to work on, which is plenty to keep up with on top of life itself.

My husband is commuting to work again (we sold 95% of the lawn/landscaping business, yea!) making me a single parent a good majority of the time, but it’s okay because it’s what needed to be done. However, my three children just may succeed in driving me crazy by the end of summer…

I have been keeping busy redesigning sites, reading books and blogging. Lots and lots of blogging - more freelance than on my own, need to do more of the latter. Funny enough, a few of my oldie sites are the ones that are doing well and showing some promise.

I have put all new projects on hold as I work on all my existing sites to refocus and regroup. That is definitely the smarter move for me. The money is in the aged domains, I just need to figure out what I want and what I am doing with them. As I figure it out I will be updating more on here. No, really.

Outsourcing is still a great thing. While I haven’t been outsourcing as much as I would like at the moment, I am hoping to change that next month.

I have tons of book reviews to get online one of these days… and a nifty plugin I want to use - Now Reading - when I have some free time.

Outsourcing & Changes

I have many big changes going on in my life at the moment - both professionally and on a personal level. Since this is my business blog, I will just stick to the professional changes ;)

Last week I accepted a full time contractor position. It was a big decision for me, but in the end it felt like the right one, for now. It’s more monthly income and you can never have enough money coming in. Most importantly, I am going to learn a lot and that was a bigger reason for my decision. So that makes two contractor positions and my business (33+ sites) to keep up with. Needless to say - I am working on my time management skills.

My business is doing well and it was time to finally accept that I can’t do everything, so… I hired my first freelance blogger to help on one of my blogs. This was another big decision for me, but it is working out quite nicely. I am happy with her work and she will be starting on another one of my blogs in April.

Also, (and this was great news for me!) a good friend of mine is now offering virtual assisting services. She will soon be working on a couple of projects with me as well. All in all - things are coming along and moving in the right direction.

Best of all, I have more book money ;) Seriously though, its out of control. I have stacks of brand new books sitting next to me and two new orders on the way from Amazon and Book Closeouts. I really should be smarter by now, I say ;)

Career Decisions

I love affiliate marketing and blogging. I can’t imagine not doing this work. However, lately I have been thinking that going back to school might be a good back up plan. My Husband is going through a big career transition and I find myself carrying a *larger* chunk of the financial burden.

While I have been trying to come up with a solid back up plan, my most important factors are keeping my business going and working from home. These years with my kids (my youngest is 7) are most important to me. I narrowed it down to two options should I decide to go for it - a marketing degree or a paralegal career.

While doing some research I came across the Paralegal Career Guide and it is full of FREE information about starting a paralegal career. I found the guide very helpful as it explains everything from education to salary expectations, paralegal career options and much more.
