Tasks Accomplished

Dieting Books

My first book is making some progress towards the 1st October publishing goal. I have all the recipes researched by my VA formated and inserted into the book draft, now just need to select which ones to actually use and do a bit of editing. Planning to add at least one more chapter, research for which is under way.

I’ve also decided to have the book cover done by someone else and as this is in progress, should have the results next week.

Recipe Site

Slowly getting ready for a major ingredients section overhoul.Added an admin section, so that my VA can do some of the clenup work.

The weekly newsletter was sent – nothing exciting here.

Lessons Learned

Recipe Site

As I was dealing with a lot of things I didn’t have as much time as usual for preparing the weekly newsletter. So instead of writing up a new article I’ve decided to follow advice from Pat Flynn and bring some old content back to life… That way my readers got 3 articles sent out instead of 1 new one. It was a good decision as currently the articles aren’t highlighted on the site, and a lot of the new newsletter subscribers wouldn’t have read them anyways.
