For this Friday’s Lovable Links I am going to do something a little different… I’m going to highlight some of the ways in which you can reward your readers and top commentators. So keeping reading and commenting because you just be might be featured next!

Comment Luv is a free WordPress Plugin that rewards your commentators by linking back to their latest blog post. A cute little heart is displayed along with an active hyperlink to your last blog post. The Blogger Source and Kikolani a couple of my favorite blogs participate in spreading the love by utilizing Comment Luv. Not only is this is great way to reward commentators, but you can also find some really great new resources that you may not have been aware of before.

Top Commentator is another free WordPress Plugin that rewards your readers who comment the most by proudly displaying their name along with a hyperlink to their website or blog. It’s like a little award for frequent commenting. To see who comments the most here, take a look the side bar and where it says, “You Comment, We Share the Love”. You may be surprised to find that my top three commentators are men. (more…)

Before we get to the interview, I have to tell everyone how excited I am to feature blogging guru, Kelcey Kintner from the Mama Bird Diaries! If you’re not familiar with Kelcey and her blog, it is a must read mommy blog filled with laughter and honesty – do check it out if you need a good chuckle! Enjoy!

Do you work from home?

Yes, I basically do all my writing during nap time and at night. It’s really eaten into my TV time but somehow I still manage to stay current on “Gossip Girl” and “90210.” A girl can’t sacrifice her teen dramas. (more…)

Last week I featured a post called, 7 Key Marketing Strategies for Your Home-Based Business. One reader commented that they would like an article with more detail, so today I am going to open things up with a couple of questions to see what areas of marketing you wish to know more about and which marketing strategies have been most effective for your home-based business.

What is your most effective business marketing strategy?

Please tell us what kind of home-based business you have and what marketing strategies you use to promote your business. More importantly, share with us a brief description of what marketing strategy has worked best in your business and what has not worked for you. (more…)

Yesterday I was on Alexa.com looking at their “Hot URLs” according to the Alexa tool bar, when I came across an article titled, “Jobs: Is Working Online At Home The Next Gold Rush?” Of course this caught my attention with my niche being work at home; I immediately clicked on the link and read the article.

The article looked authentic like it came from the Los Angeles Tribune News, which I assumed was a major publication in California. I read the amazing story of Mary Steadman, who recently lost her job as an account representative and started working from home with a system called Easy Google Profits. The article explained how she was able to make $5,500.00 a month with a trusted name like Google.

Wanting to know more I clicked on the link to Easy Google Profit where you are brought to a landing page boasting “As seen & trusted on Google, CNBC, USA Today, ABC, CNN and Yahoo”.  The page claims that there is a limited supply so you need to give them your name, phone number and email address now.
