Times Goes Too Fast

I can't believe that it's already almost the end of March. Time goes way too fast. Seems like it was just Christmas. I'm flying home to Washington in May. It's going to be here before I know it. I need to try and safe up some money so that I have some play cash for my trip. It will be nice to visit with my parents and see a couple friends. I don't get home near enough. Hopefully someday I'll be running my own business and making enough that I can take trips back home, or wherever more often. The last time I flew to Washington was over a year ago. It was a year from this past October actually. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to it. I need a good break away from daily life and work. Tonight I'm working on one of my new sites. It's called natural cure for hair loss. I just finished up a couple posts about female pattern baldness and hair regrowth for women. I outsourced a couple articles for it which I'm going to post over the next couple of days. I prefer outsourcing my articles when I can afford it because it takes me too long to write them myself. I'd rather spend that time on other things. I also need to work on my local bail bonds sites this evening as well. I have a couple packets I'm working on that I want to send out on Monday.

My Friends DJ Business

So I talked to my friend from back home this afternoon. Sounds like his business is doing a lot better. He's working really hard to do more promoting than he has in a while. He's a disc jockey. He mainly does weddings, some school parties and dances, corporate parties, hypnotizing and some club gigs. Things had slowed down for him a lot and he was talking about getting part time job a few months back. I hate to see him get a part time job barely making anything when he has such a great business which he loves. I envy anyone that does what they love for a living. He's getting busier though now and I have been trying to help him with his online marketing. He has a great website, just not very much exposure for the terms people are actually typing in to find a local disc jockey service. I set up a couple small sites to try and get his name out there in the surrounding cities. So far I've set up Wedding Dj Snohomish, Wedding DJ Arlington, Wedding DJ Bellingham and Wedding DJ Mount Vernon. I tried building a site for Seattle as well, Wedding Djs Seattle, but there is quite a bit of competition there. A lot of disc jockeys have websites that rank pretty well in Google. I hope that I can help him target some of these smaller cities though. I'm going to try cover all of the smaller cities in Western Washington. I know he's a great disc jockey, he just needs his name out there. Then once I'm done with most of the wedding sites I'll try and do the same thing for hypnotist phrases people might be searching for. I haven't seen his hypnotist show, but I hope to see it soon.

My Sister Got All the Creative Genes

My sister has always been great at decorating her home. Everything always looks so nice and put together. I think she got the all the creativeness from my parents. I, however, did not. I'm ok at it, but nothing like my sister. She's also great at crafts and all kinds of things. She just has a great eye for that kind of stuff. She recently redid my nephews room. It's adorable. She picks the perfect furniture, kids wall paper borders, bedding and lights. Any little boy would love it. The nursery is adorable too. Even her living room and kitchen. Everything from the flowers, plants, wall decals, wall paper borders and paint. You can find all kinds of great quotes printed on the walls through out the house. She also decorates for each holiday and seasons. She makes these cute wreaths to hang from the kitchen chairs and changes them up for Valentines day, Easter, winter, Christmas, Saint Patricks Day and any other holiday you can think of.

Building Local Bail Bond Blogs

I've been working really hard on a network of bail bond websites. Once they are all ranking well I hope to rent them out and feature a quality bail bond company in the area. So far they have all been getting few visits each month. Not a lot, but those that are visiting them are pretty targeted because the terms they use to find my sites are those someone in need of a bail bond would type in. I'm struggling with a couple of them though, for instance my Utah Bail bonds and Cache County Bail Bonds sites. Most of them all rank well on page 1. Some of them even have multiple listings on the first page for their specific term. The sites have information about how you can get a bail bond, what bail bonds are, how to contact a bail bondsman and more. Many people in need of a bail bond don't know anything about them or what to do if they need one. I'm trying to add as much information and resources as I can so that they can feel more comfortable when they do contact a bail bond service. I'm going to keep working at adding more content to them and hopefully my Utah County Bail Bonds, Summit County Bail Bonds and Sanpete Bail Bonds sites will move up into better positions. I'm looking forward to finding a great company to feature on all of these sites. That way when visitors find my sites they'll have a great recommendation to a company they can trust.

Another late night

You would think I'd learn my lesson by now, but no, here I am. It's 1:10 in the morning and I have yet to get to bed. I need to get the ferrets put up, get coffee ready, brush my teach and get my butt into bed. I just get carried away working online and before I know it, time has flown by. It's funny because I've been tired and exhausted all day and now I am full of energy. Why waste it by going to sleep? I don't know, I need to get on a better schedule. If I got to work earlier, then I could leave earlier, giving me more time during the actual evening to get things done that I want to do... not at 1 in the morning. ha ha, just caught my cat climbing into the big bag of cat food. Had to go pull her out and roll it up. You'd think they were starved because they are always ready for more food... more treats .. and more. I think it's time for all of us to get to bed. Anyhow, I've just been working on one of my sites. I've neglected it over the last month or so, so I needed to spend some time adding some new posts. Its my site about preventing and reducing stretch marks. This particular post was about treatments that help reduce stretch mark scars and how to choose the best treatment for you. I don't have too many posts on this site yet, but I plan to keep adding to it. Hopefully I'll start getting some decent traffic to it soon, but I still have quite a bit of work to do with it. I love researching different things and building blogs based off them. I've learned quite a bit over the past two years. I never would have thought I could create a blog a few years ago. Maybe one of these days it will start paying off for me. {fingers crossed} I know if I keep working at it, it will pay off. It takes work, but I enjoy it. I just wish I had more time. I can't stay up until the wee hours of the morning all the time. Like I've said in many other posts, I'm always so exhausted when I get home from work that I have a hard time doing anything. Well, I'd better wrap it up here. Time for some much needed sleep.

Wow, no sleep

I should have known better. I stayed up way too late last night. I think I finally laid down at 4:00, back up at 8:00. I will definitely be needing a good nap today. I have my dart tournament tonight and I promised I'd be there. I didn't go the Thursday before Christmas because I was still out running around, trying to get my shopping done. It should be fun though, as long as I can get some rest later today. At the dart tournaments we play 501, double out. And we draw names for partners. I'd say that I'm not a great player, but I'm not bad either. You would think I'd be great after playing for so many years, but I have on nights and off nights. I just can't be consistent. I don't know whey. There's some guys that won't play for 6 months and then come in and throw like it was yesterday. I don't get it. Lucky them. lol I'm not super competitive either, I just like myself to feel like I did a good job, whether I won or not. Some of the players are REALLY competitive. They get really mad when they don't win. Some players don't even want to be partnered up with them because it can be really nerve-racking. Dart night is pretty fun though. We play starting in October through May and then it ends for the summertime. Well, I'd better go drink some coffee. I sure need it.

Helping A Friend

So I have a friend that has his own DJ business. He does weddings, dances, teen events, corporate parties and all kinds of things. I think he even knows how to hypnotize people. Anyhow, I posted previously that he's had a pretty slow year. I know a lot of people are going through that right now. I also know that he doesn't have much of a presence online. If you search for him for terms that people would normally search in the local area, such as Wedding DJs Seattle or DJ Everett you don't find him. I found his facebook page after doing a little hunting, but I haven't ran across his website yet. He has a good website, but like many businesses it's not really optimized for any search terms. The only way someone would find it is if they had the exact website address. Many small businesses are in the same boat. They don't know any different. They pay all this money to have a great website built, but they don't know there is more work to be done to actually get it ranking where they want to be found. I'm trying to do this for my friend. I've been working at if for a couple weeks, after my day job that is. I have one main site which I'm trying to get ranked for the big city in his area. The term actually gets about 5500 searches a month. Right now I'm floating around page 3 so I have a bit of work to do. I need to get him to page 1 of Google. Then I created a bunch of smaller sites focusing on the smaller cities. These are doing great, many of them are on page 1, ranked in the first place. They just don't really get any search volume. If anyone did search those terms though in those particular cities, they'll find him for sure. It's a project, but if I can get him more business I am going to be so happy. He loves what he does and I totally envy that. I hate seeing him feeling like he needs to get a part time job making minimum wage just to make ends meet. If he just had some good online exposure, I'm sure things will pick up for him.
