Keywords, keywords, keywords....

 I have always felt words were important. And I have always liked "precision of language", in fact I hate it when language gets butchered. I was always tickled pink when my two year old son popped out a rather large word completely in context! So I have always loved words. The words we use are important. I had never ever considered what goes into a keyword before this week.  I have probably searched on the internet every day for many years, and still have never given it a thought. My fingers just spewing out the words of random people and things....

Keywords are also special. They can be broad, concise, vague, specific, gestalt and laser focused. So not only are the single words important, but the small combinations even more so. The words I started with this week were very broad, spot on, but broad. As the ball started to roll and I worked at it more, I came up with some good combinations that I think will really work for me. I guess one of the benefits of studying about keywords is I truly think my internet searches will be better. Now I just need those keywords to work so my customer's searches can find me.....

True blue through and through

This week the things that inspired me most about my entrepreneurial class was a talk by Sherri Dew, titled, " True blue, through and through ."  This talk was given originally as a BYUI devotional in March 2004.  Sherri Dew talks about integrity and how it is a virtue that will make you or break you.  I absolutely agree.  Integrity in all phases of life is so important.  We have to trust our husband or wife to make a successful marriage, they have to trust us.  In a business relationship a customer trusts the maker of the product, that it will work as advertised and be worth the investment.  Even in our communities, we trust that people will drive safely, keep the laws of the land and pay their taxes.  Without trust our world wouldn't function.  I particularly enjoyed the story she told of growing up in Kansas and driving the fully loaded grain truck.  She had one stop sign to stop at, but Kansas is very flat, and you can see in every di...

ADvertising - Defining moments

 This week as I focused on putting together ads for my blog, I had a hard time and almost a complete reset of what I am doing. The process of putting together these ads caused me to reflect and really define what my site is all about. I thought I already had these ideas firmly cemented in my mind. But honestly, each new step in this process has opened up more ideas and more possibilities to me and the act of putting it into words almost made me want a do over! One of the reading materials this week talked about highlighting what makes you unique. I honestly had a hard time defining that uniqueness. Everyone and their grandma sews! I have thought so many times that a sewing business would never work because the time involved in quality and creativity would drive the price of the finished product too high. No one would be willing to pay me $20/hour to make them a quilt + materials....to make them anything + materials. The costs are just too high- you can buy crap on amazon way too ch...
