    Virtual Conference Tips – How to Make the Most as an Attendee Now

    September 21, 2020 / 2 Comments

    Recently, I attended my first virtual travel conference. It was a whirlwind experience, and I could have used a primer, virtual conference tips, that would have helped me maximize my time while there. So, since I couldn’t find any content or tips on getting the most out of attending a virtual conference, I decided to write a post about it instead. These days, more conferences are moving online, so it’s time to adjust and get used to this. At my first ever virtual travel conference, I learned a few things that I wanted to pass on to you. With everything so up in the air, virtual conferences have become the…

    Six Ways I Make Money Writing Online

    July 7, 2019 /

    This is a sponsored post written by me for QUID. I received compensation for this content. My opinion is all my own and it is also truthful. Diversifying income streams has never been more vital for online content marketers, bloggers and writers. Here’s what I am doing this year to stay alive and afloat here. A Dynamic Landscape It’s no secret that content marketing has changed. There are many ways to make money online with both passive and active income. When I started writing here on Thrifty Mommas Tips and sharing our stories, sponsored posts were my bread and butter. In the first few years writing I made a full-time…

    Inexpensive Business Cards with Basic Invite

    April 10, 2019 /

    Inexpensive business cards are always on my short list of things I need to refresh as a business. Business cards in general are extremely useful tools when you are an entrepreneur. But keeping your costs down without sacrificing quality is important too. As we head straight into conference season it’s important to plan ahead and have some business cards at the ready. You never know who might want to connect for any number of reasons, and having business cards on hand is the first step in making a connection when I’m out and about. That philosophy has served me well over the years, but it’s also meant I’ve given out…

    What’s My New Word of the Year?

    January 13, 2019 /

    Setting goals this year took a bit longer than usual. Admittedly it is now half way through January already, so I am late. But anyone who knows me personally knows time is something I strive to bend at will. LOL. Typically every year I do an exercise where I challenge myself to pick a word of the year or a phrase that guides my personal and business philosophy for the year ahead. This year, I honestly couldn’t think of one until about a week ago and then I was simply way too busy working on numerous jobs to actually write it down. Until now. Setting Goals For a few days I…

    Spectacular Email Fails – Seven Reasons I Ignored You Today

    November 7, 2018 /

    Spectacular Email Fails are my new specialty. Why? Because so many people send them to me. There are many reasons people and businesses fail at this basic task, and one of them right now is automation. Automation can be great when things work and you actually invest in a product that does this well. But sadly, I have not seen a single automated email or outreach product this year that has worked properly. SO STOP buying. Email marketing and blogger outreach is actually social. It is also a skill. My Blog and Social Media Consulting business relies on authentic social interaction, so I get super annoyed when I see people…

    How to Travel for Self-Care When Parenting a Child With Special Needs

    July 10, 2018 /

    I am more than thrilled to bring readers another instalment of Special Challenges With a Special Child. My series started just last month with a post on Angelman Syndrome. Today we are joined by Tawanna Browne Smith discussing travel for self-care. My daughter, Payton, and I met Tawanna in Puerto Vallarta on a travel media fam trip in 2014.   This travel influencer, entrepreneur and MOM, is a powerhouse. What you should know. Her Instagram lives rock and she’s working hard at mastering IGTV. She is the go to person for Moms who want to travel for self-care and need to build travel into their lives, but don’t know how…

    How to Delete Facebook Accounts

    April 5, 2018 /

    Delete Facebook? Are you ready to get rid of Facebook? I’m not deleting any of my accounts, and I am not advocating this approach for clients. BUT, many people are considering dropping Facebook after the Cambridge Analytics scandal. You can always deactivate your account if you just need a break. Then no one will see your account and it will be as if you deleted it, but your data won’t go anywhere and you can still come back when you want to. But what if you’re ready to cut all the ties for good? What if security and privacy concerns are leading you to move away from Facebook permanently? There…

    Digital business tools are crucial to succeed as an on line entrepreneur.

    What’s Your Word of the Year for 2018?

    January 2, 2018 /

    What’s your word of the year? Every year for the last 6 years in a row I have chosen a word or phrase to guide my personal and professional attitude for the year. This has often been a really positive proactive experience for me. The year I chose Grow, I grew. The year I chose productivity I was productive. And so on. My word of the year is my philosophy or vision. I was astonished actually when I went back through my files this week and discovered I have been doing this for longer than I thought. In fact, I have chosen to do this since 2012. My first ever…

    Bumped from a Flight? Know Your Rights As a Traveler

    May 2, 2017 /

    Bumped from a flight? It’s more common than you might think. Airlines routinely oversell their flights, booking more passengers than the plane can accommodate. You might be asking why they’d do such a ridiculous thing. It all boils down to economics. Airlines have to take into account that a certain percentage of passengers may have a delay from another flight, miss their flight, cancel their tickets, or any number of other things. Airlines overbook flights by selling last minute, highly priced tickets and then bumping people with lower priced tickets. They’ll give them a credit to take a different flight and still come out further ahead than they would if…
