Chronicles of a Working Mom Starting With Marketing

and I’m off and running

Hey again thanks for coming back to my new blog.

At the end of my last post I mentioned how the lightbulb came on for me regarding my goal of ‘having my cake and eating it too’…being able to leave my job so I can stay home with my son AND not go bankrupt. I had to change my mindset from the traditional thought about single income streams.

Through my time on Jim Cockrum’s Silent Sales Team I learned about multiple streams. Once the bulb was burning bright for me I was on that site as often as possible, learning as much as I could about the many ways people are successfully generating income online. And there are a lot! I even got a little ‘information overload’ as is always a concern because there are so many smart and talented people out there who know how to leverage their talents on the internet. Through my study on Jim’s site, I met Rob Brooks, the Video Marketing Go-To Guy.

Rob wrote a great ebook on how to market using video, and there are a ton of ways that can be done to generate interest in a product and make it stand out above the rest. You can also use video to drive people to your affiliate site and make commissions that way.

Then the lightbulb clicked on!

My first post and I already have so much to say but I’m gonna TRY to keep this short. But I can already see that I’m going to LOVE blogging. Gosh I hope you will too, I can get a little ‘talky’.

I hope you’ll join into the conversation. I’m pretty much all over the place mentally; my husband calls it ’stream of consciousness’. I’ll try to be focused too, I guess!

My name is Tammie Hansberger. I am 38 years old and on terminal ‘traditional career’ burnout. It started when I realized that my career at the time (I’ve had a few since then) was giving back so much less than I was putting in. I’m sure you’ve been there, or are there now…tons of hours, and not a lot to show for it?

Fast-forward to now. I’m ecstatically married to a wonderful man, and we have a beautiful son. We both work, our son is in daycare. I’ve got weekends off, my husband doesn’t. Like many other American families,  we’re trying to make a good living and provide a happy life for ourselves and our son…and figure out how to plan for the future.
