As you might have noticed, FreeSocialMediaHelp.com recently got a new logo and a website redesign! As I was loading up the new files I got to thinking…what a long way this blog has come in eighteen months!
At first I was blogging to Penelope and a couple loyal friends.
And now FreeSocialMediaHelp.com is…

Listed on Alltop -
Syndicated through Networked Blogs via Facebook -
Distributed to 2,500 people subscribe via email -
Shared with over 6,500 via Twitter - 392,429 Alexa Traffic Rank (under 1 million
next goal is to get this under 100,000)
At the beginning, it was such trouble to think of things to write about, to get motivated by my loyal audience of Penelope and friends. So, I found myself letting a day, or two, or three go by without making another update because after all Penelope wasn’t going to say anything to me.But I found that when I committed to publishing blogs two times per week and promised myself that I would sit down one Sunday afternoon a month and force myself to write the 8-10 blogs it would take to cover myself for the month that something shifted.
It was subtle at first and now I can see everyday its fruits. The process has become less strange, weird and uncomfortable and is now just a routine part of marketing my business now.
With each new follower, subscriber and blog commenter- I see something beginning to take shape that is much larger than myself. That is pretty awesome! It took a lot of trust at the beginning.
So to all of you out there who are stuck in that weird space of blogging being uncomfortable or foreign, I encourage you that if I can do it…so can you! If you need a little help figuring what to blog about-feel free to reach out.
To Your Social Media Success (and that means regular blogging),

P.S. The point here is to get started. Its the discipline that creates the evolution into something that’s powerful. With each passing day there is more clarity in what I’m saying to who and why. I promise that it will happen for you too.
Congratulations! You are practicing what you teach!!!!
And Mande, perhaps equally important is your Alexa Ranking in the US which is 68,434 as of this writing! That is impressive and I bet you most of your clients are in the US! So kudos to you.
Cannot wait to see you at the Women in Ecommerce event on July 21st. We are really excited to have you.
Thanks so much for always sharing.
Warm regards,
Heidi Richards Mooney
Dear Mande:
You speak the truth of all great thinkers; Just do it! Thanks for the inspiration.
