I entered my January receipts into a spreadsheet. No big surprises - except spending much less on groceries than I had guessed. I'm glad to have it done. Now to repeat 11 more times this year!
I decided to start a social media presence. (I might have decided that a while back, but for realsies now) I'm missing some business opportunities due to not having it together. I had scheduled 3 months' worth of facebook/insta posts and discovered today that only 4 of them actually posted. Not pleased! They were all date-sensitive so I can't reschedule them. I started a new campaign. It's dog training education month, so that's an easy theme. I literally have zero followers/friends on social media (not even DH!) I wouldn't have social media accounts at all except for internet presence - mostly to protect my business name from getting poached. But if I really want to get books published, I have to have social media presence/following. Boo. Making social media content is not my thing. I'll have to learn! If someone wants to be my first follower, send me a message.
I got an offer to trial a new high tech dog training tool for a couple months. IDK if they will accept my application because it looks like they want a lot of social media attention from it. If I get 5 people to buy one, I keep the trial model for free. No way that's going to happen, but I could sent if back or pay for it - $100 off. I'm thinking of it as a deep discount. No way I can make the sales in 2 months, I'm just not there for social media following (and I live in a low-income area, so I can't imagine many local people buying it).
I'm up too late because I was writing a guest post. Not paid, of course, but at this point any mentions and links back to my site/social will help.
Starting new things is hard.
