At some point in life and business we all need help with our finances–getting them in order and keeping them in order.
I just grabbed this product for my own personal use, but I wanted to share it with you.

I have desperately needed to work on this but haven’t wanted to “create” all the excel worksheets. Now, I don’t have to. Yay!
Okay, it’s one of those things I’ve been putting off. I bet you have as well.

This is a PLR pack, but you don’t have to use it that way. You can simply use it for your own business finance needs to keep up with
everything you need–income, expenses, planning, etc.

With this, you can quickly and easily:

• …Create budgets
• …Plan for quarterly taxes & emergencies
• …Track affiliate marketing income
• …Organize income and expenses, donations and travel expenses

It contains 4 written plans and 11 checklists.
I’ve only skimmed it and the excel worksheets alone are worth $9 each from saving myself the time of creating them.

Check it out here.

The whole pack is only $9? You could easily sell it to one customer,  and make your investment back if you sell products. You can also give it away to build your list–that will make you even more money in the long run.
Or you can do like me and just use all of the content for you own monthly budget and expenses.
It’s hard to run a business without the proper forms. I use a lot of paper for mine, and it works, but this will make it a lot nicer. In fact, I may even stop dreading the job. Admit it, you know you hate that monthly job too.

Anyway, I think you will find this very useful–whether for personal use or as part of your product offerings. I only share things that I feel would be extremely beneficial to you. If you need forms and worksheets to get your own business dealings in order, then this is for you. Yes, freelance writers can use this to keep their expenses in order.

You need to grab it soon, only 250 are available. Get this great pack of business finance forms and worksheets.

Welcome to the Wednesday Writing Sprints.

Wednesday writing sprints are here! Feel free to jump right in. It doesn’t matter which genre you write in, all are welcome. Fiction, freelance, lyrics, poetry—just be a writer today.

This event happens one day per week. It’s when you dedicate the entire day strictly to writing sprints. Try to turn off email, social media–anything that distracts you and just write.

The time can be spent outlining characters, plots, scenes, etc. or it can be spent using it for a writing marathon or getting caught up on freelance work. The focus is to simply devote more time to your writing.

Enjoy and share your progress throughout the day in comments.

• If you don’t have a timer, be sure to download something like cool timer. That’s the one I use. I love it!

• You can race the clock for however long you like; 30, 45 or 60 minutes. I prefer 30 minutes. I get more done if I don’t give myself too much time. See what works best for you.

• Post your progress in the comments section.
• It’s not about word counts–not a daily count, at least.
• It’s about planting your butt in the chair and being a writer and writing as many words as you can in a 30 minute race against the clock.

The most important thing is….HAVE A BLAST & KICK SOME WORD ASS!

Happy Writing Sprints!

Let me guess, you have at least a dozen excuses why you don’t blog every day or at least 3 times per week. I know, I have the same excuses. I keep telling myself I WILL blog more, but something always stops me.

I have excuses like:

I don’t have time to write my own blog posts because I’m so busy writing other stuff.

I never have anything interesting to say or something that could be useful to someone.

The truth is:

• I do want to be informative and interesting at the same time.
• I do want to help more people.
• I do want to make money from my efforts.
• I do wish I had more ways to come up with topics.
• I wish I had more hours in the day.

Well, I don’t know how to create more hours per day, but I do know that the hours we do have—we all have 24 of them—can be used more wisely and we can find timesavers to help us get more writing done.

One great timesaver is something that Peggy Baron has created to help you write more articles in a shorter time period. She’s created a nifty tool called “Easy Article Starters.” They do just that. They help you start (and finish) an article. This blog post is an example of one.

Many people buy PLR articles but hate to rewrite them. Other people simply loathe the use of PLR, but they know they need more fresh content. Well, these are NOT private label content material. These are basically ideas with titles, topics, bullet points, content sparkers—whatever you want to call them. This is one of those product ideas that we all wish we’d thought of.

Go check out the easy article starters and see if you can use any of them. They are at a great price and can be used over and over. You can view some great samples on that page.

Save yourself some time and frustration and grab a pack or two. She also has other categories too.

These are great for marketers and writers in general.

To your success!

I was going to call myself a stinkin’ cheater, but I combined it into stinker. Why? Because I am so gonna cheat on a blog post today.

It’s been a busy week, but I got a pack of PLR out and another one almost ready. And I discovered this morning that my baby girl is coming for the weekend.

My cheat is to link you to other things I’ve written.

My post at Blogging Tips today was a Blog Round Up where I shared some of the best stuff I read this week. Go check it out!

And my next cheat is a link to the PLR I released today. It’s in the personal development niche. If that’s your thing, go grab it here.

Better run. I still haven’t done much housework. It’s not bad, but Kevin is a bit pickier than I am and he may freak because it looks like we live here. ROFL. No, that’s not an exaggeration, he is that OCD sometimes. :) But, I adore him.

Have a great weekend!

In a recent post I mentioned covering monthly topics. I can’t say they are overly fun topics, but they are essential to business building online.
Last week I joined a membership site called Nicheology. I’m loving the content and I haven’t even scratched the surface yet. There’s ton of information in there. One of the things I’m liking best is Paul himself. One of the biggest keys to success is following someone that you enjoy learning from and listening to. There’s been a lot of people I’ve tried to follow and learn from, but they just didn’t fit real well with my taste. Paul is very open and honest and I like his style.
Anyway, the cost of his monthly membership is @$30 per month. I think it’s well worth it, but if you’re not ready for something like that, I was digging around and found these 7 free reports that I’d like to share with you. You do have to opt in, but I’m liking his emails too.
Several of these reports fall in line with some of the themes I’ve been wanting to cover; list building and traffic, just to name two of them. I think you will find these very useful.

These guides include:

The 31 Day Guide to Growing Your List – 74 pages
How to Get F.R.E.E. Traffic – 23 pages
Get Massive Traffic with a 3 Day Firesale – 25 pages
How to Get Affiliates that Explode Your Profits – 18 pages
Email Marketing Secrets – 23 pages
6 Steps to 6 Figures – 17 pages
JV Marketing Propulsion – 19 pages

That’s nearly 200 pages of great content that you can take action on. Paul prides himself on giving solid information that works–no beating around the bush or having you chase your tail. He also believes in keeping things simple and easy while being dedicated to helping you grow your online business and increase your profits.

Grab these free reports and start implementing these strategies to grow your business.
