Scary Mommy’s Jill Smokler
2020/01/16 11:36 AM
I’ve always been a huge fan of the Scary Mommy blog. It started right around when my twins were born, and helped me realize that I was doing things pretty well and that I probably wasn’t going to totally screw up my children. Whew.
It was a place I could go to read about other moms nightmares, forgotten children, terrible meals, dirty diapers and billions of things we all mess up on…. as well as the joy, laughter, and amazing moments.
Jill is a genius in creating content. When she created the Mommy Confessionals, it took off like wild fire and took the blog into a totally new space with millions of subscribers and ad money pouring in. It’s a safe and anonymous place to leave your “confession”, get it off your chest and feel free of the burden…. while enjoying a good laugh or cry for sure.
Jill shares her story, what it was like to talk about her own family and how the business grew, sold and what she’s up to now.
Quotes from Jill’s Book Scary Mommy
- I shall remember that no mother is perfect and my children will thrive because, and sometimes even in spite of me.
- I shall not preach to a fellow mother who has not asked my opinion. It’s none of my damn business.
- I shall maintain a sense of humor about all things motherhood.

Have you ever seen the product you’d dreamed about developing in stores and on TV and thought, “Why didn’t I do that?” The reason is, most likely, that you didn’t have the information and connections to do it.

Do you know how to set the right price for your product line? Lordy knows I sure didn’t when I first started my handbag line. But once I learned the correct way to do it, I never mispriced anything again! Now I want to share this method with you so you can be profitable and not wonder why you can’t pay yourself.
It took me years to figure out how to set the right price for my product line when I first started out, so I can imagine you might be in the same situation. If you are not sure if you are making any money, then there is a good chance you’re not pricing your products correctly.
Proper costing is the lifeline to your business and profitability. Taking into consideration and finding all the hidden costs, is the key. So many people forget little things that they add up and then BOOM, you are not making any money. Once you have the actual cost (cost of goods sold) then it is easy to figure out the wholesale and retail prices so you are always making money.
I’d love to share this formula with you. It totally saved my rear when I was in year 3….. Just thinking of all that lost money in the first 2 years…. I want to cry!
Drop me a comment with “PRICED FOR PROFIT” and I’ll reach out and connect with you.
Have you invented a new product and stay up passing sleepless nights wondering if it is a hero or a zero? I’ve been there. With the internet and social media, there are tons of ways to figure all this out and I want to share some ideas with you.
It’s important to determine if you have a hero or a zero before you put a lot of cash into making a product to determine if it will sell or not.
These days you can use FB groups, testing similar products on Amazon or Ebay, use your peers, and even church groups to pre-test your idea before you invest any real money.
Knowing if you have a hero or a zero can be the difference between success and failure from the first day of business. Learning about how the public views your product can be some of the MOST valuable information you can ever gather before going into production. Sometimes you get amazing feedback that actually helps you make your product better than you ever imagined.
Another thing to really understand is if you need a patent or not. Some products do really need one, and others not so much. Learning how to decide how your idea will benefit from a patent (or not) can be your linchpin to success, and also determine if spending the money will bring bigger profits.
I’d love to share this amazing interview with you so drop “HERO” in the comments and I’ll get you the link. Look forward to hearing from you!
