AprilTara.com will be undergoing some changes very soon. In order to maximize effectiveness and narrow my focus, I’m going to consolidate three sites – AprilTara.com, CherryBombPromo.com and RockStarBlogDesign.com – which means that the focus here will continue to be about social media marketing and online resources but geared mainly towards indie musicians and unsigned bands. That’s where I’ve been putting all my energy for the past year, that’s where my passion lies, and that’s where I feel I can be the most helpful.

There will still be some general info that applies to anyone interested in social media – like the recent hoopla over Facebook privacy issues – so stay tuned and keep watching for posts!

I am just overwhelmed with deals to share with you! Some of my friends and colleagues have some specials going on that I have to tell you about.

First, I have to say “Happy Birthday!” to Lynette Chandler and tell you about her birthday wish. She recently launched the Blog Energizer program and, of course, I immediately signed up for all of the blogging tools and opportunities. But Lynette has a specific goal in mind. She made a little birthday wish and with your help, it’s going feed a lot of families this holiday season. Lynette has promised that if Blog Energizer reaches 2,000 members by December 31st, she’ll donate 8000 bowls of food to the food banks through “Feeding America & Kraft Foods” program. Un-be-lieveable!! Way to go, Lynette! Now all you have to do is visit Blog Energizer, sign up, and start downloading this month’s resources, browse through topic ideas, even find some guest blogging opportunities.

Oh, speaking of Lynette, I have two more offers from her:

• One free month of BlogEnergizer and pay just $10/month after
• 50% off BloggingStarterPack using coupon code BSP0812

I’ve also got another good deal for you from my friend Carrie Lauth, the Natural Mom. Carrie is one of those successful (single!) WAHMs who enjoys helping other WAHMs grow their businesses. Right now she’s adding a little bonus to her coaching program. If you purchase one hour of coaching with Carrie, you’ll receive a FREE copy of her “Mini Course Money” program. This offer expires on December 16th so sign up for your coaching session soon!

Another WAHM and Mom Masterminds member, Wendy Wood, has put together two special offers. First, she is offering a 35% discount on any PLR Food Content PLR packs. Just enter coupon code A7E16 when you check out. She also has an awesome collection of Christmas and holiday graphics you can use in your blog designs, posts or even your holiday family newsletter and craft projects. Just visit her website, go to the Products page and on the right sidebar you’ll see the ad for her Christmas graphics…click it! Be patient, it may take a while for the page to load because there are SOOOO many graphics. When you get to her checkout page, enter coupon code XMAS30 for 30% off.Both of Wendy’s offers expire on December 15th.

Now I’ve got just one more set of offers from Melissa Ingold. She’s offering a discount on her Special Report Club so instead of the usual $19 per month, you’ll only pay $12.97 per month. Just leave me a comment or drop me an email (April@AprilTara.com) and I’ll send you the signup link that’s exclusive to this special price.

Melissa’s also offering a great price on her content marketing kit, Earn With Content, for just $12.97. That’s $83 worth of info for less than $15! That deal also includes a copy of her soon-to-be-released “Earn With Product Descriptions” pack when it becomes available.

Melissa BEST deal, by far, is her copywriting package. This package includes:

• Sales letter
• Opt-in page offering sample, free gift to build list
• 5 related articles for article marketing or to provide to affiliates
• Keyword research
• 3 blog posts for marketing or to provide to affiliates
• 5 pay-per-click ads
• 5 forum/email signatures
• 5 day ecourse to capture visitors who don’t buy. Ecourse will give them tips/info, and refer to your product.
• 1 promotional email
• 1 follow-up email (sent after promo email)

Now usually she provides these services for $997…but she must be totally into the holiday spirit (or the eggnog!) because she’s offering all of that for just $500! That’s almost HALF of the usual price! Wow. Just use this link to sign up for the discounted amount, but you better make it quick because all of Melissa’s offer expire on December 16th.

And, of course, I am joining in all of this holiday discount stuff. Throughout the month of December, any purchases of a Blog Design Package or Blog Makeover Package will include a free Custom Graphics Package consisting of three matching graphics to promote your website, blog or services. You can choose from any combination of a 125 x 125 button, 468 x 60 banner, or any other specific size you may need.

So check out all of these special offers from these amazing ladies, treat yourself and your business to some holiday deals, and get 2009 off to a GREAT start!

“It is never to late to be what you might have been.” ~ George Eliot

This quote, by novelist Mary Ann Evans, has been one of my favorites for many years. Mary Ann Evans used the male pseudonym of George Eliot so that her work would be taken seriously. Fortunately, women today don’t have to hide behind a masculine name. We are CEOs, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

I have been (and still am) a single mom. I have battled depression, abuse, teen pregnancy, and divorce. I have stumbled over many obstacles to get where I am today and I still have many miles ahead of me. I am a blogger, writer, military brat, mental health advocate and abuse survivor.

This is my journey.

I own my own business, Advantage Virtual Assistant.

I am the founder of the National Association of Virtual Legal Assistants.

I have launched two websites – Single Work at Home Moms and “But What About the Kids…” (both of which tend to get put on the back burner when life gets hectic as it usually does.)

With all of the things I have going on in my life, I wanted to make one central website where I could share it all. That’s why this site is titled simply April Tara. This is me. This is who I am.
