My First Lead

The best news to report is that I had my FIRST LEAD.  Meaning, someone signed up (opted in) with their email on one of my landing pages.  This lead came through the ad poster I had at my "incidental" web presence.  So I was dancing today.  I feel it is important to celebrate, especially since making money under my own power is new to me and I want my body and my belief to understand, YES! THIS! MORE OF IT!

I want to note that this lead took me 2 1/2 months from the first time I ever heard of SFM from seeing an ad; and about 20 days from the first day I posted the ad.  I also want to note how much I have spent up to this point is about $370--$370 for one lead.  That is actually decent to start.  That is $0 of advertising though.  Those costs are for the support system, website stuff, etc.

My next goal is to have 10 leads and also eventually one application sale.

Meanwhile, I have tended my Pinterest; built up my authority blog and made blog posts (waiting until I have funds for a paid campaign).  I am actually developing, it turns out, a little framework to teach people my own ideas.  I didn't know I would do this at that point, but I got a little idea and I'm going to run with it.

I also noticed that SFM changed up some of their training.  Revamped it.  Some stuff I was kind of in the middle of.  So I am going to back up a bit, and review it and make sure I didn't miss anything, so that I am tight and on the same page with everything.  Some of it means that I will probably be organizing my social media.  Unfortunately for me, this is NOT a start from scratch proposition since I've had past projects.  I'm kind of here and there.  So I think I am going to take the opportunity to think through each platform very carefully about what I want to happen, and make some changes and adjustments to bring everything into one, more integrated, plus following the info I get at SFM of course.

I am really thinking of my businesses in terms of service.  I want to provide something(s) valuable to people to change their lives for the better and for freedom.  I hope I can put that across, one, and deliver, second.  I have continued also to work on my other website project and it is coming along nicely too.  I won't have affiliate offers there (yet), it is my own stuff, but I'm very happy with the revamping.

I am happy with my workflow, too.  I really feel that I can relax at home yet work on meaningful projects.  My boys are here.  I do ignore them a lot but they are big enough to entertain themselves.  But I do connect with them at meals, piano lessons, a few other things.  Plus it's just nice to be all round together even if we are doing different things.
