A little history on Jan’s Group Home Support and what I am doing that made it my most successful project (still little, but growing!)
I chose an area I have experience in and that my heart is in-I have worked in the field for nearly 10 years, there’s more on my experience and background here.My heart is in the posts and the blog.
I searched for disability blogs-once I found the blogs I reviewed helpful ones and posted in them. I do about 5 postings a week right now.
I outsourced blog directory submitting-my oldest daughter (12 years old) does this for Bob and I to earn money to pay her cell phone bill.
I post regularly and in advance-I have a new post up at least every other day. I have 1 month of scheduled posts (using the post edit on WP) in case anything come up, like when I had family visiting from CO
I distributed fliers-I designed a flier about the blog that included current and future post titles. I distributed it to my place of employment and through mailings to other community living service providers in town.
Next I will email a link in a personalized email to the contact email on the sites of the service providers.
On the flier I included a small ad for my photography services stating I will do portraits on location and on have experience with special needs. No results from the add, yet.
