I am now working from home full-time having given up my day job…so to speak.

What with running my own two businesses and becoming the P&C President of the school that Trinity is attending I don’t know where the times goes.

www.feetuponline.com is starting to get busier and I am welcoming the business with open arms.  It is mainly word of mouth at present but we got our first nibble for business from the website yesterday so that’s a good thing.  we are working on a variety of different sites, some informational, some e-commerce so it’s a good balance for us and some good experience.

We are also offering something a little different when it comes to logo design which seems to work well for us, we supply a range of logo designs when someone approaches us and it makes the process so much easier to finalise.

www.postedbypixies.com is currently being promoted on www.freestuffday.com.au and over 40% of my visitors are coming from there so that is great, I just need some more people to buy subscriptions now, rather than winning them or me giving them away as gifts.  They really are a great gift for little girls and there are so many value added goodies, it’s just a matter of getting that information out to people.  I know that a letter doesn’t look like much when you give it as a birthday gift but if it is accompanied by a little something fairy like the enjoyment that the kids get when a letter continues to arrive in the mail each month is priceless!

The school is going great guns and becoming  very popular in our area with people even moving to the area so they are "in zone" for the school.  I am doing the school e-newsletter on a fortnightly basis and that can be found at www.coomeraspringsss.eq.edu.au. It is turning into another arm of Feet Up and I am hoping to pick up some other schools as they come on line.  It’s such a good fundraiser for the P&C as they (or in our case - me) sell all the advertising and make a good profit for the P&C from it.

Obviously my own school is not paying for their e-newsletter on a fortnightly basis - (I’m a sucker for giving stuff away) but other schools that are coming on line are paying a small monthly fee for me to prepare their e-newsletters and still making plenty from the advertising.  It works out well all round that way!

I have a post-it note stuck to my computer to prompt me to blog more from now on in, so I hope I keep it up.  I think everyone has just been so busy of late, but we need to remember all our friends out there and keep in touch.
