15 Days of Marketing with Jessica Knows - Day 4

Day 4 - Ask and You Shall Receive Results
Day 4 - Assignment: PR Peeps & Connecting

Part 1:
Checking out where the PR peeps hang out. I signed up for Help a Report Out (HARO) earlier this week. Took a peek at PitchEngine which is pretty cool. And, since I love twitter, I’m now exploring Twellow. Yipee, finding “following” AND “followers” is FUN!

Part 2:
Off to make some connections! So if you are on twitter, find & follow me @MicroBlogginMom.

Note to self: I need to remember to include “#15days” in my tweets!

15 Days of Marketing with Jessica Knows - Day 3

Day 3 - Take a Risk, Reap the Rewards
Day 3 - Assignment: Confessional... sort of?

Ok, I know I’m late turning in my homework, again. Heck, I’m only human! Day 3’s assignment was a little tougher for me than I thought, since I’m not quite into the vlogging thing. But I know my love for technology will get me there somehow.

Okay, so to get through this phase of my assignment, I am going to share something I don’t usually share with those who I have never met in person. For a real peek into my life, I invite you to take a peek at my personal family scrapbook journal at LyFamily.org. I started this online scrapbook & journal before I had my first child in 2004 and before I really understood what blogging was all about. Now, although I have gone back to work & also started other projects, I still continue to maintain this site in hopes that my kids will eventually make it their own and enjoy it for years to come.

I'll end this post now with my 4yo daughter singing Disney's Camp Rock in the background... "This is real, this is me, this is where I want to be..... "

Day 2 - Building Your Marketing Resume
Day 2 - Assignment: Communities

Wow, more great advice from Jessica Knows. Love the idea of getting involved with networking communities, geared toward my everyday life as a mom. Thanks for sharing these.

I just signed up for One2One Network, Mom Select, & Mom Central today. Since I love to shop for anything related to mom or baby, I’m looking into the possibility of becoming a Wishpot expert. Applying for a contributor spot on blog networks is something I never considered, but will now. Hoping to have an opportunity to connect with Blissfully Domestic.

15 Days of Marketing with Jessica Knows - Day 1

Day 1 - Make Your Blog or Site More PR Friendly
Day 1- Assignment: Brands

Please note, I originally posted this as a comment on JessicaKnows via my iPhone late at night after Day 1.

Great info from Jessica Knows! As for Day 1 assignment – I have so many favorite brands but here are my top 3:

1. Disney - Especially love Disney clothes. And LOVE the great deals on Disney.com.
2. Starbucks - addicted to a daily zebra mocha. It’s just not the same from anywhere else & I can’t seem to give it up no matter how I try.
3. TIVO - Ever since Oprah shared it as one of her "favorite things" years ago, I became hooked. Now we have 2 just so we can record more shows & multiple channels! Love it!
