<p>I&#8217;m sure most of us &#8216;Internet Marketers&#8217; have experienced it in some way or another. It&#8217;s why we feel such a bond with our online peers, and why we often spend too much time on Social Networks. These people online &#8216;get you&#8217;, they understand the language you speak, the hopes, fears and aspirations you have and they don&#8217;t collapse into fits of laughter when you mention that you sent out a &#8216;Tweet&#8217;. (sigh).</p>
<p>I actually find it quite amusing that I mentioned Twitter over a year and a half ago (how time flies) and I got <strong>that look</strong> &#8211; the picture illustrates it well &#8211; and yet now, as Twitter becomes more mainstream with celebs jumping on the bandwagon, everyone suddenly seems to be a Twitter expert. Of course the same divide still exists on Twitter, just because some of your &#8216;real world&#8217; friends jumped on Twitter, it doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;ll understand more than 50% of your tweets, infact I prefer it when my friends don&#8217;t follow me on Twitter as it takes too long to explain what a PDF report is or why I would recommend someone reads a list of SEO tips, sheesh that&#8217;s a minefield &#8211; SEO to a non Internet person!</p>
<h2><strong>I Have A Gift For You</strong></h2>
<p>As I started to ponder the divide, I thought more and more about what it involves &#8211; this running a business online malarkey, and I decided to map it out. You&#8217;ll be surprised when you see what&#8217;s involved <strong>but mainly you should be proud!</strong> If you even accomplish a small portion of what I have included within this report, then you deserve a pat on the back &#8211; you really do!</p>
<p>Within this free PDF (which you can grab by clicking on the icon below) is a mind map, if you haven&#8217;t seen a mind map before, you&#8217;re in for a treat. You will need to zoom in and move your cursor around to see all of the sections as mapping the life of a Work at Home Parent is no mean feat.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also have a handy reference for a ton of sites you will be able to use throughout your entrepreneurial adventures online, it&#8217;s packed full of golden nuggets of goodness. And not only does it contain a ton of great websites and resources, it also maps out SEO and Website Optimisation in an easy to understand and logical way.</p>
<p><strong>Use it wisely and don&#8217;t understimate the power of the info contained inside</strong>, I can&#8217;t reach every parent or home busines online, but between us we can get hold of a fair few, so <strong>share it with other work at home parents by clicking on the Re-Tweet button at the top of this post</strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m pretty sure they&#8217;ll thank you for it! And &#8211; please leave me a comment and tell me if I&#8217;ve missed any great sites that you use, because I can easily and add them and I will credit it you in the pdf for the information!</p>
<p>Wishing you every success in your online business&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nikkibackshall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mum_large.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-247" title="Free SEO Report" src="http://www.nikkibackshall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mum_large-300x205.jpg" alt="Free SEO Report" width="300" height="205" /></a>I&#8217;ve decided to write about the launch of a new course, because I think that following what&#8217;s going on behind the scenes could be beneficial to you.</p>
<p>So, to give you a little background; I have developed a training course primarily aimed at Work at Home Mums. I&#8217;m not segmenting myself off, as anyone is &#8216;allowed&#8217; to join, but as I am a <strong>Work at Home Mum</strong> who&#8217;s been running various online businesses for the past few years, in addition to running a networking forum for WAHMs &#8211; it seemed appropriate to address the niche that I am personally familiar with.</p>
<p>I know how tough it is to get a business up and running and I&#8217;ve made a point of learning the technical aspects so that I could help others.</p>
<p>The course is designed to show women how to really maximise their online businesses using various mediums and tools. So we cover everything from SEO to Social Media Marketing.</p>
<h2>So What? I Hear You Cry&#8230;.</h2>
<p>Well, for you to want to follow the story along, I needed to give you a bit of background info &#8211; and that was it. I hope that you&#8217;ll have an interest in this series as we look behind the scenes of building an online business and launching it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to take you back to the beginning over the next few posts in this series but here is a video that I have produced to set the wheels of <strong>promotion in motion</strong>.</p>
<p>So anyway, below you will see the first draft of the video I am using. Now, bear in mind that the 3 mins or so of video below actually took a good few hours in the making, and that is something that we Mumpreneurs often fail to take into consideration. The bloody time it takes to achieve anything!!</p>
<p>Just to let you know, I&#8217;m not happy with this video. The reason is the mix of the poem and the music, you see, I feel that the poem isn&#8217;t read as a &#8216;poem&#8217; when there is a distraction of music, and even though I have tried to keep the background music as low as possible &#8211; I&#8217;m starting to think that the poem needs to be read by a &#8216;human&#8217;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d be interested to hear your thoughts below &#8211; after you&#8217;ve watched it. Hopefully over the next few weeks, we&#8217;ll be able to tweak it into shape between us. </p>
