Who was it on here who was into the wedding stuff? Wedding blog or something - I can't for the life of me remember.
I know someone who has started making wedding things- candles, pew ends, bridesmaids baskets etc, etc.
Was thinking of trying to help her get some advice on getting traffic to her site/listings.
Any ideas?
Anyone know?0 -
Dilli and MoneyMabel are both wedding related with blogs.
may be able to offer advice.

also Mrs M on the first page in Joeys link posts I am sure Dilli had links for increasing traffic to blogs etc there may be something useful there.

I've been reading some of your posts and your chat with Jo yesterday.
I've also been lucky enough to have a sneak preview of one of my marketing bosses new books about successful marketing tips. I'm only part way through it but saw this tip and thought of you.
By touting your weakness, you can improve your trustworthiness, and
ensure that when you talk about your positives, you’re more readily
believed.
If you link your weaknesses to benefits, you will also be seen as more
trustworthy. For example: We can only take up to ten trainees on each
course, but that means you’ll get more one-to-one time with the trainer.
Your already quite aware of what your weaknesses are so I guess from this tip it's basically saying see if you can turn them into positives for your potential customers.
Not sure how that would work with your own business plans etc but then that's where your knowledge comes in.
Something like 'I'm happy to admit I'm not a salesman and the hardest part for me is trying to close a sale and ask people for their money but luckily for my clients, and my business, they see their purchase as a long term investment and appreciate the future ROI on their initial outlay'
Jo has probably already covered this but it just made me think of you and I wanted to add it while it was fresh in my mind.Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water.

Hi everyone thank you so much for everyone who can donate. Not just clothes is needed, toys etc as has been said. They lost everything so will need to start from scratch. If you have anything that you think may be of use please PM me and I will sort out with you getting it here. Thank you so much!
If you have nothing that will be useful then even something that can be sold to raise money will be useful as we are having many fund raisers in the coming couple of weeks around here. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart and from the bottom of the families hearts.
Mummyandpaige, where did you see that they have got the arsonist? I can't find it anywhereNot heard anythign yet.
