Goal: To increase your overall online and social media exposure.
How: By allowing other users to share your content in their circles, while you do the same for them.
When: You are welcome to share other people's content on an ongoing daily basis. If you choose to "follow" this group, you will be notified via email when someone posts new content (recommended). Each time you post content to be shared, if there is a post available that you haven't shared yet, please help us to circulate it.
What do I do now? Add today's date, and post your content. To make it Twitter sensitive, keep it less than 140 characters.
Here's an example:
"A teenage wife & mom, she had some growing to do. Shaky beginnings fuel her passion for helping women overcome poverty. http://ow.ly/5E5sH"
As you can see, I didn't share the entire article. I just wrote a quick blurb and included a link to the full blog post. For best results, I recommend you do the same.
HUH? Don't understand it fully? Have fun with it. You'll catch on quick.
It's all part of you doing something different, so you can achieve something different. You can always send us a private message if you need to.
I'll post the first one to get us going.

Comment by Joel Boggess on May 27, 2012 at 12:34pm Hi Caroline (joel here),
Pei and I had a delightful time at Dan's place. It's always a powerful learning experience for me.
When Dan or Ashley point to or talk about stuff we're doing, it is a very humbling experience.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.
Comment by Joel Boggess on May 27, 2012 at 12:15pm Hi Michelle (joel here),
You are always welcome to come in here and unwind and hang out anytime you like.
You mentioned Michael Hyatt is on of your earlier posts. He is going to be a guest on my show in June. If you have a question or two you would like me to ask him, please email it to me ASAP and I'll weave it in the show.
Also, he was recently a guest on the Entreleadership podcast with my friend Chris Locurto. Here is a link to that show. www.powerfulliving.tv/hyatt
Michelle, thank you so very much! YOU are awesome! It was great to guest post on MommaReads...and congratulations on your book! That is wonderful! I will check it out... :)
It is excellent that you offer a place to unwind! Regarding the nature of your posts, I think it is helpful to begin with the end in mind. What are you trying to accomplish with your blog? For example, if you are seeking to offer services or products for sale, it will help to think about the demographics of your "ideal client" and how you will attract these clients (and then "capture" their information when they visit your blog). If, on the other hand, you are seeking to have a place to hang out and unwind, your "end" is completely different than the previously stated "end." In light of this, your activities and your blog post content would also be different. Writing a mission statement for your blog will help to clarify its purpose and also the activities that will achieve the purpose. Much more to say on the topic, of course, but I do hope this helps! Again, MommaReads is such a great place to be... :)
Joel and Pei, praying for your safe travels home, and thank you for another inspiring pod cast!!
Blessings to all for a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!!! :)
Comment by Michelle Read on May 26, 2012 at 12:00pm Can't wait to listen to the podcast Joel! I'm having Finding Your Voice withdrawals.
@everyone...I wrote a fun fiction book about Supermoms and am publishing it chapter by chapter. It's $0.99 a chapter on Amazon, and would love if you would leave a review! And if you can't afford the dollar, let me know. It's a really fun coffee and pj's kind of read!
Comment by Joel Boggess on May 26, 2012 at 10:38am Hi Dream Team (joel here),
Hope everyone is having a super weekend. Pei and I are getting ready to head home from TN today. Here is our latest podcast. Thank you in advance for helping spread the word.
To see where she was going, she had to climb over herself. Today's Finding your Voice podcast - http://ow.ly/bapCL
Comment by Michelle Read on May 26, 2012 at 10:32am Okay...two organizing/ purging posts:

And a feel good reminder post:
http://www.mommareads.com/dont-be-so-grumpy/
Some personal opinions, do I have to narrow down a specific type of thing to talk about all the time? Or is it okay to just be "a place to unwind"?
Your opinions are highly valued, I appreciate you all's (not trying to be a hick!) wisdom very much.
Comment by Michelle Read on May 26, 2012 at 9:35am I have literally been hovering over the purchase buttons on Michael Hyatt's page off and on for days. I read his blog and listen to his podcast, and am afraid that if I spend money on the book and bonuses, it will just be repackaged content. Is that completely OCD of me? I am already taking in so much of his content.....
Caroline - you're awesome! I am so thankful you contributed to the site!
Kim and LIsa - thanks for the prayers and encouragement :0) Also, I signed on to No Ordinary Blog Hop, Kim, because I found them through your page. But I am not sure how it works. So that will take some more research. I posted several things, read a bunch of articles and commented, but nothing has happened so far. I'll keep working at it!
I'll do a comment with some links to visit in it.
Happy Friday, Dream Teamers!!!
Love the energy here in the group! Joel and Pei, enjoy a wonderful visit with Dan!!!
Michelle, I am very excited to read about all that is happening with your site! It was a blessing to guest post earlier this year. MommaReads is a great place to be... :)
KimH and LisaG, thank you for the information about Michael Hyatt's book, and I appreciate also your heartwarming sentiments and blessings!
Sharing a Memorial Day Prayer as a Poetic Pause...
"To those who fought there on the battleground, I pray God's blessings to you will eternally abound." http://ow.ly/ba1OS via @caroline_gavin
May your Memorial Day weekend be richly blessed!!!!
Comment by Lisa Graham on May 25, 2012 at 12:55pm Joel and Pei, have a great visit and please, post some pics!
Kim and Michelle....just making sure you saw this...if you send your book receipt (Michael Hyatt's new book), he will send some "bonuses". Details on this page....http://michaelhyatt.com/7-reasons-to-buy-my-new-book-now.html
A good marketing tool we can learn from and some bonuses!
Michelle, very cool on all your stuff going on! Please start sharing your info here again so we can get it out there. Will pray for you to find the right person to hire!! How cool that John will be a regular contributor!
I hope everyone has a wonderful, awesome, blessed weekend!
I am very thankful to Joel for putting this group together......
Comment by Kim Hall on May 24, 2012 at 6:14pm Michelle-I love CopyBlogger as well.
Have you seen Michael Hyatt's new book Platform-Get noticed in a noisy world and his offer? You can see it here.
It can be patience straining to build a site. I hear you there! It is great you are ready for your first hire, and that's good news on your book too.
It is great to be on this journey with everyone!
Joel & Pei-Have a great time in TN at the Miller's. Fun, fun, fun!
Comment by Michelle Read on May 24, 2012 at 5:49pm @Kim Hall - I am liking the CopyBlogger content. Hoping to glean some wisdom in how to advance our site. I am bringing on a regular contributor in June and another one also, as soon as he confirms (it's John!).
Comment by Michelle Read on May 24, 2012 at 4:38pm Thank you all for letting me come back! Really every week I'd say "Man I wonder what they're doing??" and I really missed the comeraderie here. It has been going well, and I am ready to make my first hire in the cleaning business. I am really trusting God because I personally do not know where to look for a good worker! I am ready to pay very well, and want good, trustworthy people. Which usually aren't found via newspapers or craigslist! So prayers for this quest would be appreciated!
The website has a new look, and have some great content planned, but no one is commenting! And I have no idea what to do about that. I feel like I am starting back at square one. I am loving reading everyone's plans for their brands and will work mostly on this website tonight, going through everyone's content. I am excited to be back!
In other news, I'm completely vegan now! By accident, funnily enough. I didn't mean to transition fully, but there you have it. Oops!
Also been working with the editor on the "How to Be Poor" book, which will be available in a few months. The process of working with the publisher has been a lot more demanding than I thought it would be for a newbie. Has anyone else had the same experience?
@Joel - I'd love to see pics of you guys at the Sanctuary! i can relax by osmosis :0)
And PS....you guys rock
Comment by Joel Boggess on May 24, 2012 at 10:52am Good morning Dream Team (joel here),
Hope you are having a super day. Pei and I are up at Dan's place for the next few days. Here is our post for today.
Her rallying cry for women - "Let the adventure begin." Thx to @SpeechTxtAccess & @DeafMom, the transcribed show is here. http://ow.ly/b77Wr
Good Morning, Dream Team!!!
May your Thursday be thoroughly beautiful and blessed!!!
Poetic Pause for today: GLORY to GOD!
"Surely He leads, surely He guides, surely in my heart #Jesus forever abides."
http://ow.ly/b7QOs #PoeticPause via @caroline_gavin
Thank you again for all you do and all you ARE!!!
Hello, Dream Team!!!!
Michelle, I agree: SO good to see you! You have been missed!!!
Kim, basking in the blessings you have sent! You are a sweetheart! Thank you very much!
LisaG, I am excited...by your excitement! Awesome!!! I am revamping my free offer and adding videos too; it does seem that we are all taking the same adventure at the same time!
Much going on, but all good things...praise God!
Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful energy and cherished camaraderie! :)
Blessings beyond measure!!
Comment by Lisa Graham on May 23, 2012 at 7:54pm Michelle! Of course it is okay to come back, we missed you! How have you been?
Hey Kim, yes, I'm doing the videos and offering a free PDF as a landing page for subscribers. I just taught a two hour class last week on goal setting and realized I loved talking about it plus I have tons of material! That is why I'm doing goal setting as my first book. It can then be a foundation for other future projects. I'm looking in to traffic geyser and/or instant customer as a possibility. Still shopping around though, will check out copyblogger. I'm with you.....need something easy to set up!!
Seems like we are taking the same adventure at the same time!
Anyone else have any input?
Comment by Kim Hall on May 23, 2012 at 6:54am Happy mid-week team!
Hello Michelle! How are you? Missed your smiling face! What have you been up to?
LisaG-The book serial idea was suggested to me as a way to "test drive" my book. My subscribers would be getting pieces each week, and I would be asking for feedback and how I could better serve them. It reminds me of how Dan Miller said he used reader feedback to improve some of his books and products.
Are you doing the videos as part of landing pages, Lisa, where folks can sign on as subscribers or to purchase your product? Here is a great post about landing pages from Copyblogger, which is an amazing resource site for bloggers. I am working on my landing page now for subscribers to sign up to get my serialized book. I did buy the Premise software to build the pages from Copyblogger. I am just not techno geek enough to do it through my own site's pages. Lord knows what damage I would end up doing. :-0
Caroline-You are so sweet! Thanks for the blessings, and I pour them right back at you!
Joel-It is so wonderful to see the distance you have traveled and the goals you are achieving. You are an inspiration!
Here is a linkless quote for today:
You don't have to be David to Goliath, or Daniel to the lions. To live happy is to be simply, uniquely you. @kimahall
Have a great day all!
