It’s pretty easy to see why you want lots of Twitter followers if you have analytics on your websites – you get TONS of traffic! As I’ve explained in my posts about WordPress plugins (category “Blogger“), I’ve set things up so that I automatically post a tweet promoting my latest blog posts as soon as I publish them which brings my Twitter followers over to my blog. There are other uses to Twitter too: If you’re... 

Hi, I’m Tanya, and I used to be Google’s little bitch. I’ve been Google free for about a week. Until yesterday, when Google decided to allow me a new account and… I relapsed. If you’ve been following my little adventures with Google Adwords (if not, the other posts should be listed under the ‘related posts’ at the bottom of this post, if the plugin is working properly) and how I was recently banned permanently... 

A few days ago something pretty terrible happened: Google ‘terminated’ my Adwords account. I had been using Adwords to promote a couple products. These are awesome products that I loved and used myself, so I thought it would be good to advertise them. After being accepted as an affiliate, I build some pages on my website LadyBonesOnline.com and wrote some ads. In June of last year, when I started advertising, I made a mere $200 –... 

No, it’s not Christmas, but you could win a present! I’m so excited about my newly redesigned blog, which I’ve imported all the old posts from my two other blogs into. I’ve also redesigned it using an awesome newspaper style Blogger theme called Mahusay (you can get it here) which I messed with a little to get it just right. I’m definitely going to be tweaking it a little more over the next couple weeks so please let... 

Is 50 browser tabs open at once too many? I’m sure it’s a little excessive, but that’s just how I do things. Unfortunately, my latest little research project – trying to find places to promote my blog – resulted in about 48 browser windows filled with utterly useless money grubbing crap. I did find a couple little gems, which I will share with you, in a sec. I need to rant first about the shameless affiliate marketing... 

I’m using Windows Writer to type up this post – this is my first time using this program so if the post looks a little funny, please excuse it. I actually AM connected to the internet right now, but I thought it prudent to find a reliable offline editor ‘just in case’. I have no idea what situation I could possibly get myself into where I’d be A. stranded without the internet AND B. without my Blackberry (which can function as a modem)... 

 And now for a little update on my Facebook and Etsy campaigns… The Facebook fan/like campaign is definitely working! Link Love is the hugest reason that I’ve managed to increase our fan base so much in such a short period of time. I’m definitely not sure if this is going to lead to sales, there is an argument that you are getting only other ‘sellers’ and no ‘buyers’ but I don’t see why a person... 

Phew! What a weekend! We had a table at the Make It Handmade Revolution craft show in Vancouver. For anyone who is following this blog, you know it was our THIRD craft show. Taking sales out of it completely, I need to give props to Chandler and Jenna who put on this show, as this was NO Mickey Mouse operation! They have put on several successful shows and have quite a following online. The event was advertised all over the web, probably mostly...

The past couple days I’ve been really trying to spend about an hour promoting my Facebook Page and Etsy shop.
