Chatty Gal.com Catches my Ear

I met Deb and Tim at Blogworld and New Media Expo this past October. They were at the MarketLeverage dinner at Envy, but I didn’t get tot talk with them until after the meal. Even then it just wasn’t enough time to talk with these two really nice bloggers. When I put out the call to help Maureen they were quick to respond. Deb of ChattyGal.com and her husband Tim of Emonetized.com were super generous and donated money towards helping our friend Maureen. They donated for not one but two reviews here on BenSpark.com. This review is for Deb’s blog for all the ladies, Chattygal.com.

I started reading Deb’s blog posts was surprised to see that she hadn’t been blogging that long. For one thing she has a very professional looking blog it is clean and very fast loading, she offers very valuable content and she’s already taught me a couple of great lessons. I’m not in the frugal realm although I do love to save money so I didn’t immediately go to the frugal posts however the tech tips are very decent and now what I expected to find on a typical Mommy blog. Deb wrote a very good post all about how to set up the ultimate facebook fan page for your blog or business. I didn’t even know how to do half of those 10 steps and it was very helpful.

I did start reading through quite a few of Deb’s posts and these were a few that I enjoyed.

Deb’s blog has a variety of topics and that include frugal tips, craft ideas, shopping, dieting, and the latest information about new and trendy products. This is one up and coming blog worth reading. One more great way to learn more about Deb’s blog and her writing style is to download her free ebook “How to Make or Bake a Diaper Cake”. You get that free with a subscription to Deb’s blog.

Do you have a Contingency Plan?

In my case I am usually the contingency plan for people. I’ve been the fallback guy for blind date balls, the anchor for kickball teams (that’s what the last guy picked is, right?) and one time I even got to speak at a conference because the original speaker became ill. Seriously though I am usually the guy called to fix up issues that no one else can fix. I am a walking contingency plan. That means that I can be counted on to get the job done, and done correctly. When you are the contingency plan then you get to do some cool things but you also get some high pressure things sent your way.
