I’m not sure if I like it yet or not but I have given this blog a new look with a new theme.  I do like it in the sense that it is sleek and professional looking, just not sure about having one sidebar, I did like having two sidebars on this site.  But I will leave it like this for a while and see how I go.

Other than the new look I want to just touch on the topic of Procrastination!  I’m sure we can all relate to having those days when we procrastinate all day and at the end of the day look back and realize we have done nothing.  Well I’m having too many of those days lately and I really must stop them and start being more productive.

This Stay Home Mum site is probably the oldest site that I have and it has undergone a couple of changes over the years and I’m thinking it might be due for another one.  I’m going to think about it for a bit though just to make sure it is really what I want to do.

There are two main changes that I am thinking of making:

1. Change the WordPress theme to something different.  I want something professional, yet nice.  I have one in mind that I might use but it is a paid theme so still having a think about whether to fork out the money for a paid theme or not.

2. I am thinking I might move my blog to a ‘blog’ page and have a separate home page for this site.  I originally wanted this site to give some options of ways for Mums to earn money online and it doesn’t really give that clearly at the moment.  It has been more of a blog and that’s all, so I’m thinking of having a home page that lists some of the various options for making money online and keeping the blog but having it on a different page.

It’s going to take a bit of work though to get it to where I want it and at the moment it is still just in the ‘thoughts’ stage.  I still need to keep working on my other jobs and the site changeover will be done probably in stages when I find the time.

The 30 PLR Challenge is still going and I’m still falling further and further behind.  In fact, I think it will probably be finished in about 5 days so I haven’t got much time left to catch up.  I am planning for this site and my PLR site to be my main two business sites so I do need to get stuck into the PLR side of it a bit more too and build up that website/business.

If there are any ‘business opportunity’ ideas that you would like to see explained on this site please let me know as I haven’t really decided exactly which opportunities I will include on the site.

That’s it for me today – back to work!

Are you doing the Ezine Articles HAHD (one hundred articles in one hundred days) challenge?  Are you keeping up?  I just submitted another two articles to Ezines for the challenge that takes me up to 22 articles.  There are 59 days left so I should have actually submitted 41 articles by now so I am running a bit behind.

When I submitted these 2 articles today it still shows me at 20 articles but perhaps that is because they are in pending status, although I’m sure the others I submitted added to the total straight away.

Anyway, I think I need to start doing 2 articles a day to get back up to date with the challenge or I’m just not going to make it!

Do you ever feel like there is so much to do but just not enough time to do it in?  Well, I tend to feel like that all the time.  I have so much going on that I need to be doing but just don’t have enough time to do it all.

This week I have been working with my son a lot with his site and Squidoo lens.  We have updated his Squidoo lens and added more to it.  I think it is just about complete now, I’m not sure if there is any more that I could add to it.  Now we need to concentrate on building some backlinks to it and try to get it ranking well.  It is ranking #65,866 overall in Squidoo which isn’t too bad.  In Google it’s not ranking in the top 500 so it’s indexed but not showing anywhere.

My head is spinning, I just seem to have so much going on that I can’t keep up.  So I need to get focused – again – and reset my goals to start achieving results.  The kids are back at school next week so at least I will be able to concentrate again instead of working with kids fighting in the background.

So my goals:

  • To add one new pack of articles to my PLR site each week – although I’m a little undecided as to whether I’ll be able to achieve that and perhaps I should make it once a fortnight, but I will say each week for the moment and see how I go. Read more…

In November I made a total income of $724 so my income goal for December was to beat that amount, so I had to reach $725 income.

Did I do it????

Yes – woo hoo!  The problem is that although it is great that I am achieving my goals and earning the amounts I’m aiming for each month, the higher the income gets the harder it is to reach those goals!

So my income for December is:
