I have been online and blogging for a few years now. As much as I love my blogs I think I am now going to have to reinvent myself. I will probably pull those blogs from any social networking sites I'm connected with or just plain and simply ignore them.
I want to make sure that my jewelry and my children are my focus and if I am expressing my personal views on certain subjects, I know it will hinder what I'm trying to accomplish. There are people that don't agree with my points of view. That's the same in anything you do.
It's taught me a few lessons in marketing. I know how to use Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Blogcatalog, and several other sites. I know to act like a real person and not just someone trying to earn a living.
I can advocate for the things I believe in and create jewelry. I can donate to Habitat for Humanity or help build a domestic violence shelter. I can take a portion of my profit and donate for those things I believe in. I can do a large portion of what I was doing before, with a twist.
This is the first time I will not provide links to my other blogs. I'm trying to separate from personal. This isn't personal, it's business. I will not be doing paid for posts or you can win this posts. I am done with that. This is a new chapter in the book. I want to achieve certain goals and if I am blogging at a million blogs it just isn't going to happen.
I will probably implement a blog schedule. My other blogs are a post when you want to post. I think I need to treat this one as part of my job. This is not just part of my livelihood and survival but my mother's too. I am not going to allow myself to fail.
My marketing ability has started to hit. I have people interested in what I offer. I've been giving out freebies. I want people walking around and advertising for me. Since I can't pay for ads, word of mouth is good enough for now.
I admit to a little sadness in the reinventing of myself. I have a lot of blogging friends because of the previous blogs. I can only hope they will follow me through another of my life changes. They have been with me through sleepless baby nights, an apartment with poor living conditions, and a brand new home.
Another roller coaster is going on and I hope they aren't getting too frustrated with it. It is life though and it is filled with changes. I don't regret the other blogs they are different aspects of who I am.
