I love how Amy Lynn Andrews Knowtbook has made my life easier.
Knowtbook is easily the best thing that happened to me.It’s because of her kindness ,that I understood the true essence of blogging .
Help those who need you.I am not an affiliate but I still mention her everywhere.
That’s because she is one of the few bloggers who says it how it is.
Shady is not her style.
3 Things I learnt from Knowtbook this month:
1)I love the look of sliders on websites .
But apparently it slows down the site.
Plus it’s SEO night mare.
So slider out for me.
I don’t want to do anything to make my site non friendly to Google!
2)Canva has a limit to the number of copies of its ebook templates you can use for commercial use.
So what’s the solution for mompreneurs who are bootstrapping ?
Don’t cry ,you have GIMP.It’s an open source software totally free!
3)Blog design for solopreneurs can be a never ending time waster.
After I read this post I calmed down .

What did I write this month ?

What am I doing this November?
Daily blogging throughout November . I saw my Alexa improve throughout October .
The global rank has improved . But the India rank is not stable.
I am gardening a lot.It keeps me calm.I have Petunias ,roses ,chrysanthemums ,chillies ,cucumbers and a whole host of beauties in my balcony .
The Dailychatter in October encouraged me to do this too.
My hubby thinks I have lost it.But good habits need blood and sweat.It’s easier for me to sweat in the cooler seasons.
What am I working on ?
My Instamojo shop.Read about it here Media kit template (editable in word):Mompreneur’s blogging journey (part 9)
It’s in the teething stage .Still working on making it better.
Health wise
Incorporating Chia seeds more deeply into my diet. Use it mixed with whole wheat atta, to make rotis too.
Working on becoming stronger.
Nowadays on the treadmill ,I look at the distance covered .It’s keeping me happy.

Dr Amrita, I enjoyed your posts during the whole challenge in educating and spreading awareness. You are a champion.
Thanks Vishal you are very kind.
I’ve been down with pneumonia so I haven’t gotten near done what I’ve needed too. You go girl your kicking it.
Get well soon Valerie. Take care.
Random question! What’s a slider? I’m terrible at the behind-the-scenes-blog stuff. I just wish someone else would take care of the behind-the-scenes so I can just write! Haha 🙂
Slides coming one after another in a little box .That’s a slider????.We all wish your wish too. Unfortunately behind the scenes either you do or pay someome else,it needs to be done.
Looks like your October was super busy and you did so many wonderful things to boost your blog. Looking forward to reading your November posts!
Thanks Ana.October was great. I am looking forward to November too.????
Good luck Amrita for 1 month of successful month ahead
I once tried to add slider to my blog, however it slows done the loading time of my page, so I get rid of it.
Loving this post, I hate sliders too when I see them I leave the site. I hope to blog daily in November

Wow – you’re working hard and it’s paying off! I started getting much more involved with my blog in October (well, September actually) and will continue to do so in November. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Lydia. Hard work definitely pays.
What is the slider for? This is something I have never tried to use before.
The slider displays the featured images for your posts and it keeps changing ????.It’s actually pretty distracting
These are great stats. Well done! I don’t like sliders much either. I have avoided them.
Wow, well done, you sure have come a long way
☺
And best of luck achieving November’s goals!
Thank you for your kind wishes.
I use Canva but I am not sure what you mean about the ebook templates. You mean they can only be used a certain number of times to create one?
Good luck on starting your Instamojo shop. I hope it goes well and achieve your goals in November.
Wow Amrita the Alexa Rank has sky rocketed and you have done wonders in Daily Chatter. I have been a complete fail in it. I would be waiting to read more on the Knowtbook
Thanks Tina .You never fail till you give up and your blog’s are great.It’s important we have fun blogging .Otherwise it’s a slog. I work well with goals.That’s why this was good for me.????

Wow, wow, wow at your Alexa Ranking! I don’t know anyone who deserves it more than you do, Amrita! And I will continue to be be impressed how you help everyone you come across on your journey.
