About Me

I’ve been blogging and earning money online for close to 3 years now. Quite simply, I make blogs. Sometimes it’s easy to think that everybody knows the same things that you do, and that you may not have anything new to offer others. I often just assume that everyone knows how to make a blog, or that they’ll “be able to just figure it out”, but then I was among a community of newer blogs, and I realized I had a lot of valuable information to share.

You see, I’ve been there and done that. I made mistakes early on, and I can help you with your learning curve. I’ve tested different ways of doing things, and found what works best for me. If I was starting over and knew what I know now, I’d have saved a heck of a lot of time!

That’s a tall order, eh? It’s not going to all happen overnight, but step-by-step, piece-by-piece we’ll get there. Join along or just bookmark me and pop in time to time to catch up. The great thing about blogging, is it works at your pace. There’s no race, so absorb and learn as you go…you’ll pick it up! You can do this!

If I can do this, you can too…I’m just a girl in my living room sitting behind my computer typing on my keyboard….just like you. The only difference is I’ve had more time to learn from my mistakes- so I’m here to show you what worked, and what didn’t.

I can’t promise that every single person who reads my site will go on to huge success, but I can say that I’ll offer you solid information that may help take your blog to the next level. My goal is to reach out to new bloggers, or intermediate bloggers who are ready to figure out where to go from here…are you ready?

A Few More Details

So would you like to know more about me? I live in New Jersey and my name is Deb. When you decide to offer information about yourself, it doesn’t have to be tidbits like what you had for dinner last Tuesday, or your kid’s middle name…nobody says you have to spill your fine life details out there, but you can be personable, and you can be yourself, and let people know who you are. Be authentic- people can see through phony, and if you’re taking the time to reach out to others with your writing, then being real can make a big difference.

Okay, so now you know I’m from Jersey and my name is Deb…..I’ll give you one more detail for now, then it’s time to move on….there’s work to be done.

I’m in my 40’s, and I know enough to care about what I’m doing, but I also know enough not to feel like every single thing I do has to be “it”. I’m not afraid of making mistakes, because when you make mistakes- you learn from the process. Take it one day at a time, learn what you can, and more forward. Even taking those little, tiny baby steps are still taking baby steps forward. One step at a time is all it takes.

If this middle-age women from Jersey can do it, you can too. I’m not some young kid who picks up things at the drop of the hat. Trial and error baby…something doesn’t work how I like, go back, try it again….and lucky for you, I’ve been doing this for 3 years. I’ve got plenty of trial and error under my belt to share.

I’m not driving a Mercedes, and I don’t have 6 vacation homes. I am a woman who can take a vacation a couple times a year, and buy the latest gadget that catches my fancy. I have extra grocery money….so while I may not be living in a mansion, I have a pretty nice lifestyle. If that sounds like something you’re interested, stick around. It doesn’t cost anything to read my blog, so bookmark and learn!

Until next time, Deb
