About This Author

La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  , worship leader , small business owner , songwriter , aspiring author and freelance nonfiction writer with a chemical engineering degree .
But that's just my resume.
My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

I hadn't checked my blog stats in awhile, but I did today. Apparently, my readership has declined. It's okay! I always wondered why anyone would want to read my personal to-do list anyway, and only ever intended the blog to help me keep track of myself. It *has* crossed my mind that I'm logging my journey into entrepreneurship on a daily basis, which is going to make my highly sought-after autobiography much easier later, when I'm a billionaire (which I want to be, so frickin' bad.) 
Post at MichelleTuesday.com at least once per week.
 Goal met.
Grow MochaNotes.com blogs.
 Dabbling in Domesticity : Caught up.
SEO: Alexa ranking for MT.com = 544k, MochaNotes.com = 560k.
NEW GOAL: Increase search engine visibility for MT.com.
I plan to track my Yahoo, Bing, and Google rank for certain keywords and continually work to improve. For example, I show up on the front page of Google (top ten) for "music lessons Gahanna Ohio", "voice lessons Gahanna Ohio", and "guitar lessons Gahanna Ohio", but not for "piano lessons Gahanna Ohio" (where I rank #14, which is page 2.)
I recognize that the Internet is going to be my best marketing platform. I also recognize that local advertising strategies, when they highlight my web address, will drive traffic to the website, thereby increasing the overall marketing potential of the site, making it more visible for Internet surfers who have not discovered me via local forums. Kind of like an upward spiral.
I have a huge (well, not Superbowl-huge, but huge with respect to my overall startup funds) advertising budget allocated, and I have lots of good plans for the money: promotional items, radio advertising, local newspaper advertising, Internet ads, banners, signs and fliers.) August will be my first big advertising push. So from a goal perspective, I would like to: (1) increase page rank to the top 5 for all three search engines, for my chosen keywords, and (2) meet my monthly business volume goals, starting in September. In layman's terms: I want more paying customers.
Speaking of advertising, I offer a tip regarding tear-off fliers. I have two tear-offs in my pocket that each list an email address and a phone number. No name. No hint, whatsoever, as to what kind of service or product these fliers were offering. I can't remember which is which. TIP: When you post tear-off fliers, include your name and your product or service on the tear-off part, too.
Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.

For your hard work, commitment, talent and innovation in running the October NaNoWriMo Preparation each year, which helps many of us get our scattered thoughts together for November's novel-writing.
