Hi, everybody!
I put up a post earlier re: converting from blogger to wordpress. Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback. Well, I never did convert, because I've been trying to get all my sites tied in, etc. with each other.
you see, my goal is multiple income streams. which, of course, everyone should, in my opinion anyway.
so, I have three "businesses" that I'm working on currently. But, I'm having difficulty focusing on the steps to get them set up. I've been working on them for two weeks now, and it's making me insane....
Here's my status currently.
I have 3 websites, 3 blogs, 3 fanpages, 3 twitter accounts.
I've linked them, when I blog, it tweets, then updates the fanpage on Facebook. I'm also in the process of signing up for affiliate accounts when I find something that is a good match for my sites.
Now, I am having a HUGE problem focusing & deciding "what to do next?"
Here are my sites:

And, now, my goal is to do a newsletter, and blog for each. The connections are there (twitter, blog, FB), but I need to set up a way to start getting subscribers for my newsletter, first, I'm guessing?
Then, I'll add my affiliate links (as appropriate) to my blog & newsletters. I'll also use my newsletter and blog to give out information. The Qivana stuff will be re: diet & health info. The SN will be SN tips, etc. And, the wedding planning, right now, I'm actually a planner, but I'm hoping to get away from it, so we'll see what direction that goes.
Does anyone want to help me focus on just one step so I can get everything in place? The problem is that I jumped into all of this stuff, and tried to get it all rolling at once, before any one was ready to go & rolling....so, I have three that are partially done!! Argh.
Kinda P.S. what email service do you use? I use MyEmma for my wedding planning, but it doesn't appear that I can do more than one business through it, I need to have multiple sign up html codes & direct them appropriately to the correct list, but I don't see how in MyEmma to do that...so I may be shopping for a new one also.
I can't figure out how to separate my lists....hopefully, someone will be there tomorrow when I call to let me know if it can be done.
Thanks! for reading my extremely long post. Please feel free to say anything at all! I don't offend easily, thank you again!!
