This week's episode is all about the nine essential WordPress plug-ins that you need for your online business.I don't know about you, but I love a good WordPress plugin. It can make life so much easier, and it's one of my favorite things about WordPress.

I don't know if you know that WordPress is open source. Which means that people can come in and create things and add to it and help the platform out. Which is one of the beauties of it. It’s that you're not tied to something that is only what the creators can come up with. You have all these options. Anyone can make a WordPress plugin and put it up there. And it can be a life-changing plugin.

So this week's episode is all about my top four tips to being more organized or staying organized as a female solopreneur. So this has been something that I struggle with a lot over the years. It's something that has taken me a lot of time to figure out what works for me, what I like. And trying out different things, trying to figure out the different ways that I can come at this organizational problem. I've tried it more times than I want to admit. Or can remember for that matter.

But over the years I have learned a couple of things that have helped me get better organized and stay organized for things that I can keep up with consistently. It's at the point now where it's easy for me to do and it's my second nature.

So just recently I have been organizing my house and doing some decluttering. And my mother lives with us because she moved down from where she was to be with us for a change of pace. 

So she has been helping me go through and declutter and get rid of and reorganize the house because I'm currently five and a half months pregnant and she's that overprotective mother.

But that being said, we've been doing a lot of organization and just the other day she told me that I should have gone into business doing something organization related. Funny side note, I actually considered it at one point. But then I decided that organizing other people's things wasn't for me. Because I'd have to get over all these different, I guess… humps, if you wanna call 'em. Of getting them to understand the method behind my madness and the logic to it all. And some people just aren't gonna mesh well with it. So I decided not to. I decided it's more fun to just have it as a skill I do for myself. 

The other flip side of things is that I recently learned about this time last year that I have ADHD. And upon learning this, it has made me better understand how my brain works. And it's made me realize the differences between an ADHD brain and someone who is a typical in the ADHD world. As we call it, a neurotypical, someone who is average in terms of their brain process, they think the same way. But an ADHD brain thinks differently. And because we think differently, we see the world a little bit differently. It gives us almost a leg up sometimes on stuff. So for me, I'm able to look at things a little bit differently because I have that ADHD standpoint. So that being said, let's dive into the four tips.

So this week's episode is all about the six places you should be putting your lead magnet to grow your email list from scratch. So I know that when it comes to building an email list, a really important thing, as they always say… the money's on the list.

And as I always say, you don't own the other platforms. You don't own Instagram or Pinterest or Facebook or whatever. And my big reference, I know I'm aging myself here… but have you ever heard of MySpace?

It's the best example. Sure, MySpace might not have been used for business, at least that I was aware of back in the day, cuz I used it during high school. But I used it. That was the precursor to Facebook. Facebook was like in its infancy whenever MySpace was around to give you a kind of reference here.

And MySpace is where like… everybody had a MySpace. Not everybody had a Facebook, and so that was one of those things. But now like nobody uses MySpace anymore, and it's one of those things, you don't own the platform.

So it breaks my heart to see businesses doing their business all on social media, relying all on it, all on social media. If you're making an income from your social media, that's great, keep doing it. But as they say, don't put all your eggs in one. Because it's a dangerous game. It's a gamble. 

So your email list is something that you can take to the next platform. So say you use MailChimp and MailChimp says, oh, we're closing tomorrow. You can take your email list from MailChimp and pull it over to ConvertKit or any of the other plethora of email service providers out there.

And one of the hardest things is getting that lead magnet and then actually building that list. So I'm here today to give you six places that you can put your lead magnet to grow your email list from scratch.
