<p>The Guest Speakers were the dynamic duo twin sisters, Susan and Janice from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.5minutesformom.com/our-readers-blogs/980/moomettesgramsmusings/" target="_blank">5 Minutes for Mom</a> fame, who host the Ultimate Blog Party every year.  During the 2-hour webinar, there was a Q &amp; A session, and topics covered included branding, marketing, SEO &amp; online ecommerce, as well as monetizing your blog.</p>
<p>An added bonus was that links were provided to some fantastic sites offering information to build and promote your business or blog that even I wasn&#8217;t aware of!  And I get around the blogosphere!  Additionally, Susan and Janice even recommended experts to follow on Twitter.</p>
<p>For participating and tweeting during the webinar with the hashtag #hss, one lucky participant was going to win a <strong>FREE PASS</strong> to the remainder of the 9-week session.  And guess what!  The winner was <strong>ME</strong>!</p>
<p>One of my lucky readers or WAHMs is going to <strong>WIN </strong>this pass so that you too can get in on all the action for the remainder of the summer!  Just think how <em>blazin&#8217;</em> your blog or online ecommerce store, Etsy store or eBay store will be come fall and winter, during the busy shopping season!<br/></p>

<p><center><a href="http://friday-follow.com" target="_blank"rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo22/iamharriet/ff/button1.jpg" border="0" alt="friday-follow"></a></center><br/>
<p>Welcome to the June 18 Friday Follow hosted by your awesome hostesses, Stephanie at Babes Rockin Mami, Michelle at Mommy Loves Stilettos, and Laura at Vodka Logic! Thank you ladies for being willing to host!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m excited to be part of this new Blog Hop meme!</p>
<p>You&#8217;re invited join us every Friday to get more blog followers and to find many interesting blogs that you like. This is all about sharing and having fun.</p>
<p>Please be on your honor and to have fun. These are only guidelines to make it more enjoyable for you. Here’s how YOU can join the Friday Follow celebration:</p>
<p>* Link up your blog name and URL using the McLinky below. Only need to add on one blog to be seen on all the blog hops.<br />
* Grab the Friday Follow button on the right side and include on your Friday Follow blog post with the linky information which you can find at the bottom of the post.<br />
* Follow <a href="http://friday-follow.com/" target="_blank"rel="nofollow">Friday-Follow.com</a> so you can see the current things going on. If you haven&#8217;t checked out the website yet, please do so. If you have any problems with the button, it&#8217;s a great place to get it.<br />
* Follow the Friday Follow hostesses listed in the first 3 slots. (One of the benefits of being a host/hostess).<br />
* Follow as many other blogs on the linky as you’d like.<br />
* Take a moment to comment on the blogs telling them you’re from Friday Follow.</p>
<p>As always, we are trying to improve the Friday Follow so here are a couple of rules to make the experience even better for you:</p>
<p>* Only one link per blog. We do have a giveaway tab that you can include your giveaways on.<br />
* Please try to keep your post current so that people can see your showcased work.<br />
* Follow someone back if they follow you – this is common courtesy.<br />
* No xxrated blogs.<br />
* No spammers.<br />
* Please leave your url so that others can easily follow you back. Someone requested me add this.</p>
<p>This list is new each week. The links do not carry over. Please link up each week for new participants to find your blogs. The list is only open to add your blog links on Fridays. It will be visible all week to visit the blogs listed.</p>

<p>Welcome to the 2nd Friday Follow hosted by your awesome hostesses, Stephanie at Babes Rockin Mami, Michelle at Mommy Loves Stilettos, and Laura at Vodka Logic! Thank you ladies for being willing to host!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m excited to be part of this new Blog Hop meme!</p>
<p>You&#8217;re invited join us every Friday to get more blog followers and to find many interesting blogs that you like. This is all about sharing and having fun.</p>
<p>Please be on your honor and to have fun. These are only guidelines to make it more enjoyable for you. Here’s how YOU can join the Friday Follow celebration:</p>
<p>* Link up your blog name and URL using the McLinky below. Only need to add on one blog to be seen on all the blog hops.<br />
* Grab the Friday Follow button on the right side and include on your Friday Follow blog post with the linky information which you can find at the bottom of the post.<br />
* Follow <a href="http://fridayfollow.com" target="_blank">Friday-Follow.com</a> so you can see the current things going on. If you haven&#8217;t checked out the website yet, please do so. If you have any problems with the button, it&#8217;s a great place to get it.<br />
* Follow the Friday Follow hostesses listed in the first 3 slots. (One of the benefits of being a host/hostess).<br />
* Follow as many other blogs on the linky as you’d like.<br />
* Take a moment to comment on the blogs telling them you’re from Friday Follow.</p>
<p>As always, we are trying to improve the Friday Follow so here are a couple of rules to make the experience even better for you:</p>
<p>* Only one link per blog. We do have a giveaway tab that you can include your giveaways on.<br />
* Please try to keep your post current so that people can see your showcased work.<br />
* Follow someone back if they follow you – this is common courtesy.<br />
* No xxrated blogs.<br />
* No spammers.<br />
* Please leave your url so that others can easily follow you back. Someone requested me add this.</p>
<p>This list is new each week. The links do not carry over. Please link up each week for new participants to find your blogs. The list is only open to add your blog links on Fridays. It will be visible all week to visit the blogs listed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Put the &#8220;Social&#8221; in Your Blog<br/></p>
<p><center><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Sexybookmarks-copy.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8369" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Sexy Bookmarks WordPress Plug-In" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Sexybookmarks-copy.png" alt="" height="152" width="525"></a></center><br/></p>
<h1>Blogging Tips for the WAHM</h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Since I&#8217;ve converted to WP some time ago, I&#8217;m constantly trying out different WordpPress Plugins that I hear about.  If you&#8217;re thinking of&nbsp; <a rel="nofollow" href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/switching_to_WordPress/2303/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/momstalkbiz.com/amember/go.php?r=307&amp;i=l3');">switching to WordPress</a>, another compelling reason to use this dynamic blogging platform is its ability to integrate with social media and social bookmarking. Obviously this also equals more traffic and exposure. If you are even the least bit involved in social media and social bookmarking, you understand the value of utilizing a plug-in that will automatically broadcast your content or make it easy for your visitors to share your most recent posts on social networking sites.</p>
<p>From <em>“share this” </em>buttons that display at the top or bottom of your post to plug-ins that automatically tweet when you publish a new blog post, there are plug-ins suitable for all social media and social bookmarking sites. Whether you prefer Facebook and Twitter or you concentrate your efforts on social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Reddit and Digg, there&#8217;s a plug-in for you. These plug-ins make it incredibly easy and simple for your readers to share your content and increase your overall exposure.</p>
<p>Here are just a few of the plug-ins that can boost your social media and bookmarking efforts:<br/></p>
<p><strong>TweetMeme</strong> &#8211; This simple plug-in will automatically <a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/tweet/2255/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/mylikes.com/signup?token=moomettes');">tweet</a> the title of your blog post with the web link. Once downloaded and installed, you virtually never have to touch it again.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can see I have it installed in the upper right-hand corner of this post.</p>
<p><strong>Sociable</strong> &#8211; This highly popular plug-in gives the user more than 100 social media and social bookmarking sites to choose and the ability to order them according to individual preference. A very simple and easy to use plug-in which will allow your readers to share your content with virtually any site they are active on.</p>
<p><strong>Digg This</strong> &#8211; Similar to the Tweetmeme button, this button automatically detects incoming links from Digg and updates the Digg button to display how many Diggs your post has received as well as make it easy for your readers to digg your blog post as well. If you&#8217;re active on Digg this is a wonderful way to increase your &#8220;Diggs&#8221; and provide a way for them to easily share your post.</p>
<p><strong>Sexy Bookmarks</strong> &#8211; This plug-in adds a bar at the bottom of your posts that allows you to choose which social bookmarking and social media sites you want to include.&nbsp; See the image above for how <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sexybookmarks/" target="_blank"rel="nofollow">Sexy Bookmarks</a> will display on your site.</p>
<p>As your visitor&#8217;s mouse rolls over each icon it pops-up and readers can click on it and post your content to that site. With more than 30 sites to choose from, this fun and slick plug-in often shows up in favorite plug-in lists across the Internet.</p>
<p>The latest tweak that I&#8217;ve installed is the new Facebook <strong>&#8220;Like&#8221; </strong><a href="http://blog.bottomlessinc.com/" target="_blank"rel="nofollow">plug-in</a> which you can see at the top and bottom of this post.  Once a reader clicks it, your post is mentioned on the reader&#8217;s FB page, increasing the probability that you will gain a wider readership.</p>
<p>The easier it is for someone to share your content with the world, the more they will. These social plug-ins are easy to install and easy to use.&nbsp; They&#8217;re a must for all WordPress blogs.</p>
<p>Now show me that you&#8217;ve found this information helpful, and Retweet using <strong>TweetMeme</strong>, Share it across networks using my <strong>Sexy Bookmarks</strong> plug-in, and please click the Facebook <strong>&#8220;Like&#8221;</strong> button!  Thanks!<br/></p>

<p><center><a rel="nofollow" href="http://productreviewplace.ning.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u221/mattci/banners/BSBadgeTPRP.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></center><br/></p>
<h1>Help Moomette&#8217;s Magnificents Win a Sponsorship to Type-A Mom Conference</h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>I have recently joined a newly formed group specializing in product reviews &#8211; <strong>The Product Review Place</strong>.</p>
<p>The Product Review Place has an extensive roster of bloggers that companies can tap in to who are looking to promote their product and brands.  I encourage any company to contact The PRPlace and find out how they will connect you with the appropriate blogger.  There&#8217;s also a group called &#8220;Bloggers Select&#8221; which is by invitation only, as all members have been through a rigorous vetting process in order to be admitted.</p>
<p>As a blogger, if you&#8217;re serious about providing Product Reviews to your readers, I encourage you to give them a look-see, and join.  You&#8217;ll find tons of valuable information and groups to join,  including tutorials on Blogging tips;  Pitches from PR;  places to list your Giveaways as well as a very supportive social networking forum.  <strong>The Product Review Place</strong> was started by Lisa Samples and Stacie (The Divine Miss Mommy), who also kindly asked me to be an Administrator of their propriety <strong>Bloggers Select Group</strong>.<br/>
<p>Please consider joining and mention that Cindi <em>&#8220;Moomettesgram&#8221; </em>referred you!<br/></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Everything you ever wanted to know about the latest products. We offer a  variety of services to both the brands and the bloggers.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><br/>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://productreviewplace.ning.com" target="_blank">The Product Review Place</a> is sponsoring a contest to help it&#8217;s members obtain a Sponsorship to the Type-A Mom Conference.  (I&#8217;m also the Editor of the <a href="http://www.typeamom.net/moms-by-age/50-something-moms.html" target="_blank"rel="nofollow">50-Something Moms channel</a> at Type-A Mom!)</p>
<p><center><a href="http://s169.photobucket.com/albums/u221/mattci/banners/?action=view&amp;current=TypeAMomConference-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u221/mattci/banners/TypeAMomConference-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Type-A Mom Conference" width="182" height="62" /></a></center><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Type-A Mom</strong> is sponsoring the  <em>&#8220;ultimate power mom blogging conference&#8221; -<br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>When: </strong>Friday, September 24, 2010 at 8:00 AM &#8211; Sunday, September 26, 2010 at 9:00 PM (ET)</p>
<p><strong>Where: </strong> Asheville, North Carolina</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>I &#8216;d really like to attend this special conference, and am seeking Sponsors to send me via either a partial or full scholarship.</strong></span><br/></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Type-A Mom Conference is a unique mom blogging conference designed to help you take it to the next level. The conference will feature some of the most influential, admired and insightful mom bloggers talking about topics like power social networking, branding, blogging, finding your voice, and turning your passion for blogging into a real paycheck.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><br/></p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.typeamom.net/moms-by-age/50-something-moms.html" target="_blank"rel="nofollow"><img class="aligncenter" title="Official Type-A Mom Editor 50-Something Moms" src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u221/mattci/banners/TypeAMomeditor-125copy.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a></center><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If I win this Sponsorship, here is what I can do for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Your company has the opportunity to sponsor me to one of the top blogging events and I will promote your company and brand while networking with hundreds of other bloggers to create an online marketing campaign for the same time period while you receive well-rounded exposure.</p>
<p><strong>What I Can Do For You:</strong><br/></p>
<p>Event sponsorships are one of the best ways to reach your target market in an authentic way with a Blogging Professional who will promote your brand exclusively.  I do not charge anything for these campaigns, and seek partial and/or  fully covered event sponsorship.</p>
<p>I will be able to promote your brand by:</p>
<ul>
<li> Wearing your company clothing throughout the conference</li>
<li>Distributing promotional items such as business cards, samples, swag bags</li>
<li>Tweeting during the duration of the conference through my extensive Twitter and FriendFeed following</li>
<li> I will do follow-up posts which I will share on this blog, in addition to my Fan page Facebook</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">Since I started blogging to share my experiences as a WAHM, I&#8217;ve have really grown to enjoy meeting new friends from all over the globe. As a professional Paralegal in both the private and public sector, I offer demonstrated business experience that I am able to share with  women interested in working from home.</p>
<p>Moomette&#8217;s Magnificents has grown and morphed since 2007 and I&#8217;ve settled in as a Baby Boomer appealing as a multi-generational writer  covering Work-At-Home subjects, Product Reviews, Blogging tips, Social Media, Parenting and Grandparenting topics. My blog was voted and honored as one of the <em>Top 10 WAHM Blogs</em> by Sparkplugging for 2008.</p>
<p>Additionally, I offer Product Reviews from the viewpoint of an experienced Baby Boomer Mom and Grandmom <em>&#8220;who&#8217;s been around the block.&#8221;  I&#8217;m </em>familiar with <em>many </em>products, both household and child related.  I’ve seen what were the “<em>hottest trendy household and baby products</em>” when my daughters were little in the ’80s, and I know what the “<em>hottest trendy household and baby products</em>” are now that I have my own grandchildren.</p>
<p>The Internet is quickly becoming the medium of choice for marketers and statistically proven that Mom Bloggers are increasingly influential in getting the word out to decision makers ~ Moms and Grandmoms ~  about the newest and hottest products on the market.<br/></p>

<center><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/WomancomputerDesk-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7894" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Woman at Computer Desk" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/WomancomputerDesk-copy.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="424" /></a></center><br/>
</p>
<h1>Virtual Assistant Specialties</h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>
As many of my readers know, I&#8217;m a Paralegal by profession, and have an established Virtual Assistant website at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/va/" target="_blank">CAM Virtual Assistant Services</a>.  Many consider me a <em>&#8220;professional student&#8221;</em> as I&#8217;m always eager to learn new things.</p>
<p>This is the year for me to make a concerted effort to turn my Virtual Assistant website from a part-time venture, into a full-time job and enter the consulting field.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been online for any length of time you’ve been exposed to a blog in one way or another. In fact you’re probably using one yourself and understand the importance of a small business utilizing a blog for several reasons such as increasing traffic, building a relationship with your readers, etc.</p>
<p>Not all people are as fortunate as those of us that know the importance of blogging. Speaking on a local level if you’ve ever had a conversation with a small business owner who has a brick and mortar business you have probably come to the conclusion that some of them don’t even know what a blog is!</p>
<p>That’s where a Virtual Assistant who loves WordPress, has a creative side and doesn’t mind working mostly behind the scenes can utilize their services by becoming a blog consultant. Then you can start evangelizing to small business owners in your local community not only the importance of blogging but the truth – blogging is smart for business.</p>
<p><strong>So exactly what is a blog consultant?</strong></p>
<p>It’s someone passionate about blogging. They love blogging in general but more importantly they understand the importance of blogging for small business owners and want to share that understanding with small business owners especially on the local level.</p>
<p>So if you’re that VA mentioned above and are passionate about blogging and want to share that passion with others then be sure to check out <strong>Become A Blog Consultant</strong>. If you’re not a VA yet, that’s ok too (you can find out more about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/how_to_become_a_VA_here/2312/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/momstalkbiz.com/amember/go.php?r=307&amp;i=l12');">how to become a VA here</a>) this course was created for anyone who has a passion for blogging and wants to share it with local small business owners.</p>
<p>You can watch a quick two minute video and see a real life client example and sign up for a 16 minute audio that will help you decide if this is for you. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/link/2249/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/momstalkbiz.com/amember/go.php?r=307&amp;i=l40');"></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blogging Tips</p>
<p><center><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/SpyGlassWoman.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7787" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Woman Holding Magnifying Glass" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/SpyGlassWoman-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></center><br/><br />
<h1>Get The Real Time Advantage</h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Whether you blog for personal enjoyment, or have branded, monetized and established your blog as a work-at-home venture, every business needs to know how it’s doing. One way to monitor your blog’s <em>“health”</em> is by using comprehensive analytics.</p>
<p>Just as major online retailers use exit surveys, customer feedback forms, suggestion boxes and other devices, without feedback from the customer (in this case your readers) businesses can quickly fall off the radar screen without the owner (you) ever seeing it coming – or being able to stop the slide!</p>
<p>To avoid this happening, I’ve installed <a rel="nofollow" href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/Clicky_Real_Time_Web_Analytics/2298/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/getclicky.com/198606');">Clicky Real Time Web Analytics</a>.<br/></p>
<p><center><a title="Clicky Web Analytics" rel="nofollow" href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/Clicky_Web_Analytics/2298/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/getclicky.com/198606');"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.getclicky.com/media/links/clicky-125-2.gif" border="0" alt="Clicky Web Analytics" /></a></center><br/></p>
<p>As a WAHM blogger, there are certain things that you should be monitoring on your website. Most of these can be classified as traffic related or server performance related.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s a few to keep in mind:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Traffic Totals</strong> You want to know how much traffic your generating.  If you&#8217;re like me, you&#8217;re may be wondering, if I&#8217;m writing, is anybody reading? If the line on the graph is heading down, you know you have to find out why.</p>
<p><strong>Referrers</strong> It isn&#8217;t enough just to know how many visitors you’re getting. You also need to know where they&#8217;re coming from. My stats show me that my participation in social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Networked Blogs and Ning sites are sending me a tremendous amount of traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Searches</strong> Clicky allows me to see what terms and keywords readers arriving at my site have searched for.  This is <em>Valuable Information</em> to me, and in turn, since I do a bit of internet marketing,  allows me to properly optimize that particular page and get even more traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Pages Viewed Per Visit</strong> If people visit only one page per visit, you know you have some work to convince them to visit more pages, (especially those that make you money.)</p>
<p><strong>Pages Visited</strong>So you threw up on your site something cool as an add-on. How were you to know that other webmasters would link to it and send a whole bunch of traffic your way? Well, now you know, so add some copy to the page to pull visitors into the rest of your site.</p>
<p><strong>Forms</strong> Are they all functioning? A good website monitoring service can keep tabs on them for you. The last thing you want is to have lost hundreds or thousands of subscribers because a sign-up form or a Contact form has stopped functioning.</p>
<p><strong>Time of Day Traffic</strong> Clicky shows me the time of day that the majority of traffic arrives on my site.  I can then optimize the time I schedule my tweets to take advantage of when my targeted readers are most likely to click through to my site.</p>
<p><strong>Download Speed</strong> Clear your cache and test your pages. Perhaps those images are a bit large. Take the time to compress them.  In a previous post I recommended some <a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/4-wordpress-plugins-to-make-your-blog-a-fast-mean-machine/"target="_blank">wordpress plugins</a> that can help you accomplish this.  Remember that some people are on a much slower connection than you are.</p>
<p><strong>Server Speed</strong> Are there problems with server speed? There might not be where you are, but maybe on the other side of the world. Global website monitoring can alert you to a transatlantic connection problem, so you can take it up with your web hosting service.<br />
<strong><br />
Server Accessibility</strong> All the web hosts promise 99% accessibility. But is that for real? Who monitors them? I use and recommend <a rel="nofollow" href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/Mom_Webs/2302/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/www.momwebs.com/help/aff.php?aff=012');"><br />
Mom Webs</a>.</p>
<p>Clicky is customizable, and there&#8217;s a free version -  however the paid version allows me to see who’s actually on my site in real time.  There&#8217;s also a WordPress plug-in available where you can monitor your stats right through your dashboard.  Another feature I like is the ability to shorten links I use on Twitter.  I have the bookmarklet placed right on my toolbar.</p>
<p>Working at home and being a webmaster should be fun!</p>

<h1><strong>Savvy Blogging &#8211; #Fail</strong></h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Any blogger who’s savvy by now may have heard the latest controversy going around the blogosphere concerning the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://savvyblogging.net/savvy-blogging-summit-2/" target="_blank">&#8220;Savvy Blogging Summit&#8221;</a> that will be held in Colorado, in July.</p>
<p>If you’re on Twitter, the hashtag #savvyblogging is used to find all tweets pertaining to blogging tips, tricks, advice, and general chit chat.</p>
<p>On occasion, I have been known to utilize the hashtag to dispense my own words of wisdom and what I think are my best work-at-home tips, blogging tips and social media advice that I’ve developed and learned from others (for<em> FREE</em>, through fabulous blogs, forums, emails, etc.) over the last three+ years I’ve been blogging.</p>
<p>I don’t purport to know the young women who will be hosting The Summit, but I do follow these ladies as well as several of their loyal followers on Twitter, and I believe they follow me back.</p>
<p>I first learned of the controversy through Trisha over at Mom Dot. Her original post<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.momdot.com/savvybloggingsummit" target="_blank"> &#8220;Charging for a CHANCE to go to a conference? Huh?</a> has garnered substantial comments, most of which express outrage at the circumstances.  The issue that has developed is controversy concerning a $5.00 non-refundable<em> “application fee” </em>to be <em>“considered”</em> to be among the chosen few to attend this Summit.  I continue to call it a summit, while the hostesses are calling it a <em>“school.”</em> Schools offer degrees.  With a Graduation Exercise. Pomp and Circumstance is usually played as the graduates march in to accept their diplomas.</p>
<p>While I believe that on it’s merits, most conferences or summits that bring together bloggers to share and exchange ideas is a <em>“good thing” </em>as Martha Stewart would say – first charging the sum of $5.00 before you can even access the application is, in my mind,<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> fleecing</span> taking advantage of those who probably aren’t earning a penny yet if they try to monetize their blog.</p>
<p>The goal of my blog is to try to point moms who want to be WAHMs or bloggers in the right direction &#8211; and this, clearly is NOT the right direction.  It&#8217;s a new tactic, on uncharted ground.  It is not a common practice of blogging conferences or events, by any means.</p>
<p>Furthermore, any event planner worth their salt would have all their ducks in a row before having a website go public.  The site (as of the date of this post) doesn’t even have a roster of who the <em>“experts in their fields”</em> are who will be speaking.  <strong>Really.  Not.Too.Savvy.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/SmellsiStock_000003101729XSmall.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7719" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="Woman Hiding Something Smells" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/SmellsiStock_000003101729XSmall-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="139" /></a>Moreover, as for the claim that they are seeking sponsorships for ALL the attendees &#8211; <em>For Real?</em>  Is their target market newbie bloggers?  Mid-level bloggers?  It&#8217;s difficult enough for established bloggers to get ONE partial or full sponsorship to events such as BlogHer or <a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/goto/Type-A_Mom_Conference/2238/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:elcTrackPageview('/cloaked/www.eventbrite.com/event/618509980/attendees/1510239187');">Type-A Mom Conference</a>.  I really have my reservations that they&#8217;ll be able to get company(s) to pay for sponsorships for ALL their attendees.  Don&#8217;t buy into this hype!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already taken some flack for my position on Twitter, but I&#8217;m standing by it.  Let the chips fall where they may. I have my standards.</p>
<p>Lori from A Cowboy’s Wife further posits her thoughts on the matter on her post &#8211; &#8220;$<a rel="nofollow" href="http://acowboyswife.com/5-for-consideration-paying-for-others-if-denied/" target="_blank">5 for Consideration, Paying for others if Denied</a>&#8221; .  I’m sure other bloggers, mommy or not, will be speaking up regarding the non-savvyness of what I have dubbed #Ticketmastergate.<br/></p>
<p>Am I <em>serious</em> about my blog?  You Betcha.  I spend approximately 6 hours per night on it, after working a full-time job during the day, along with other family responsibilities.</p>
<p>And for the record, I have never attended a blogging event &#8230; yet.</p>
<p>Your thoughts on this matter?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to enter my Giveaway for a Ticket to BlogHer10 (The Conference) in New York City in August! ( A $300 Value) The Conference is Sold Out!<br/></p>

<p><center><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Twitter2575623873_b9e405f5ba_m.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7617" title="WAHM Tweeting" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Twitter2575623873_b9e405f5ba_m.jpg" alt="WAHM Tweeting" height="215" width="240"></a></center><br/></p>
<p><strong><br />
<h1>Social Networking</strong></h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to share my recommended URL Shortener for Twitter.&nbsp; You may or may not have  heard about it.</p>
<p>Twitter is a micro-blogging forum. You can talk to anyone who wants to listen. It&#8217;s a quicker way to get people interested in new product offerings, contests, prize giveaways, blog posts and more.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a work-at-home mom, this is important in order to get the word out on your brand!</p>
<p>Because Twitter limits you to only 140 characters per tweet, posting a link to your website can be troublesome. There are several services, such as bitly.com&nbsp; or tinyurl.com that let you type in the URL of any site and will then shorten it into a clickable URL that uses fewer characters.</p>
<div class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; display: block;">
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 118px"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:StumbleUpon_logo.png"><img class=" " title="StumbleUpon Toolbar" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/34/StumbleUpon_logo.png" alt="StumbleUpon Toolbar" height="108" width="108"></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>
</div>
<p>I prefer the new service that <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumbler/moomettesgram/about/" target="_blank">Stumble Upon</a><strong> </strong>has developed.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s  called<strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://su.pr/" target="_blank">Su.pr</a> </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong>I  also recommended that you install the bookmarklet on your toolbar.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p>
<p>* When links are shortened by su.pr, it also adds a <strong>StumbleUpon toolbar </strong>to the tweet, thereby increasing your chances that your post will get Stumbled (more traffic!)</p>
<p><strong>example</strong>:&nbsp;  Click through my RT and see what happens:</p>
<blockquote><p><em><span title="processed"><span>New YANKEES MLB Baseball Infant Baby Lovey  Blanket Blue <a rel="nofollow" href="http://su.pr/2tl352" target="_blank">http://su.pr/2tl352</a> #bonanzle &lt;for any Yankees fan!</span></span></em></p>
<p><em><span title="processed"><span><br />
</span></span></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Actually, we  should all try to stumble any tweets we may find interesting.&nbsp;<strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Simultaneously post to both your Twitter and Facebook accounts</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>There&#8217;s also the ability to schedule  your tweets through su.pr&nbsp; I like to schedule my Retweets for optimal  traffic-time on twitter and spread them out throughout the day, morning  &amp; evening, depending on the tweet and topic.&nbsp; You also won&#8217;t be  spamming your followers with so many Retweets all at once.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Su.pr adds the ability to track your tweets and see how many  click-throughs have occurred.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> There is also a su.pr WordPress plugin I use &#8211; post to twitter immediately with a shortened su.pr link  (instead of bit.ly or tinyurl, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p><br/></p>
<p><strong>Download the</strong> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/help/Su.pr_Plugin_for_WordPress/"target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Su.Pr Plugin</a><br/></p>
<p>This is just a suggestion, it  was mentioned on Mashable &#8211; but I think it&#8217;s definitely one worth  using.</p>
<p><a href="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/GoogleGroups_logo_sm.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7618" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="Google Groups Logo" src="http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/GoogleGroups_logo_sm.gif" alt="Google Groups Logo" height="30" width="141"></a>I recently formed a <strong>WAHM Twitter Retweet Group </strong>on Google so that any tweets my followers feel are important are immediately posted to retweet.&nbsp; We&#8217;re all on Twitter at different hours of the day &#8211; so it&#8217;s impossible to see what&#8217;s going on in everyone&#8217;s tweet stream!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you&#8217;d like more information, you can visit at: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://groups.google.com/group/wahm-blogging-retweet-group" target="_blank">WAHM  Blogging Twitter Retweet Group</a><br/></p>
