Busy, Busy, Busy

This summer just seems to keep piling on the work! I really love it, though. Our office at BYU Conferences and Workshops is hosting two workshops this week: Intermuse Academy and Young Musicians' Summer Festival. So, as a result, I've been busy making deposits, journal entries, balance sheet reconciliation reports, and things like that to account for the expenses being incurred. And that's only a part-time gig. The other 20 hours a week (in actuality, it's more than 20), I'm doing serach engine optimization for a web marketing company locally called Industry Forge. I asked the boss to give me a normal workload, so that I could get used to everything through a trial-by-fire sort of experience, and boy, is the work coming!!! He's having me write articles to be published online, create lots of web content on social media websites, build inbound links to client websites, and much, much more. Now, I'm also doing link wheels, experimenting with other SEO techniques (and developing some of my own), and building monthly reports for our clients. It just seems like I have so much to do, and not enough time in the week to get it all done. But somehow, a higher power is giving me the ability to complete things on time. For instance, I was having a writer's block with some of the articles that I was writing for my companies (which are just content for inbound links, but I can't write something that's crap; I was just built that way), until today. My problem was that most articles that I was writing ended up being about 1,000 words long, and the articles need only be like 300. I had the brilliant idea today to make article series, where I break down my 1,000 word topic into 3 or 4 articles, so that people will be looking for more and following the articles more closely.

Chey's working a lot, too. She works for a security alarm company called APX Alarms. She's in the technician scheduling department, and she really likes their work environment. She works about 40 hours per week, so she's tired a lot when I pick her up from her work.

Basically, we're super busy this summer, and it's only gonna get more intense. We're having fun, though. At least, I keep trying to convince Chey that (sometimes I don't believe myself, but she seems to be taking the bait). ;)

How's your summer going? I'd like an update in the comments list, if you don't mind taking a minute to let me know. Thanks!
