I Think I Failed Miserably...

I was given the opportunity to speak with a small group of graduate students/hopeful entrepreneurs yesterday evening about how to start an online content business. Even with all of the stuff that I do know, I feel like I failed at pointing them in the right direction on where and how to start. It's not easy to try and teach someone how to start a business in 2 hours. Hopefully I will get to work with them some more.

There are so many things one needs to learn in order to really be successful at creating information websites supported via advertising. It took me a long time to really get it right and I am continually learning as SEO is constantly changing. So you could say I am a work in progress at all times.

Anyway, I really want this group to succeed, and not just because my husband is a part of this group. I'd love to see them be able to do something they really love and make money at it. I'd like to think that I can really help them do that even if sometimes I am unorganized,unprepared, and scatter-brained (something that happens when you become a parent).

If any of you from the group are reading this, I've been thinking of ideas and George, I'm really trying to figure out something that will work for you. :)

If anyone else out there wants to learn how to work from home and really make money at home, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Helping others online and writing how to work from home is so much easier than speaking about the topic in front of a group of people. Somehow, I feel less accountable in this online platform. Ack! Atleast I am being truthful... ;)

I have a blog for several weeks..being forced to stay-at-home I find this an opportunity to work..at the very beggining I didn't know that I can be paid for that via advertising on my blog.
Can you just please help me to get as right as possible the SEO...I know there is a lot of info on internet but maybe you can guide me somehow...thank you for coming in advance with your "invitation to learn"...I was planning to ask you somehow!

It's awesome that you got the opportunity to help the class - and I'm sure you did.

I'm new to this stuff. I've been learning as I go - lots of trial and error. My biggest problem is finding time. My best solution so far: while the rest of the house sleeps, I work.

Right now, I'm trying to get organized for the new year. Maybe I'll try some schedule changes to see how it goes.

Any advice you have is always welcome with me!
