Early Bird | Aquarius Dawn Nancy Heading To The Port | Zoepreneur


Aquarius Dawn Nancy waiting at bus stop on May 12, 2020 heading to Port Everglades
Aquarius  Dawn Nancy at Bus Stop 
Heading to a temporary job at Port Everglades doing ground work for Logistec Terminal there. Not a full-time job and works for what current focus is, homeschooling Goddess-Isis. I always wanted to Homeschool or be able to afford a great school like Nova Private in Davie, Florida where my lil King to be, VonRoss resides.  Just glad stable place to live at my moms. I have a great Courting situation a dream come true. I am auditing Online Presence for myself, HAY Online, and for clients. Consulting on SEO and preparing youth blogsite templates while monitoring the web woven is much. I am grateful for learning of Mornings At His Feet by Dope Boss Mom Empire. Meeting alumni of my highschool online providing me with tools to do better makes me more humble. When being sexually abused as a child when I did label myself Christian asking, "God, why can't you save me?" My question has been answered time and time again since. I keep much I went through off blog pages because they are my personal testimonies of why I am favored. We all are, favored!

I prepare to write a review I decided to not quickly do so I can really do a thorough review of the book, I Am. Also have a Olu Moon Rising Waistbeads review coming too among others from Entrepreneur Friends. I truly am grateful for employment that helps keep mission to support others the way I had wished, Unconditional Support because the passion there.

Right now at Hollywood Young Circle waiting for bus and listening about "Obamagate" and listening to news from both sides. Not into Politricks but want to hear what the jokes come from on both sides. Hilarious the back and forth at times. Right now, I am just more scared for my Black son, VonRoss and any future sons I may have!

Police Brutality is hurting us Black Mothers hard. A "Mother's Pray" is that her children live beautiful lives giving service to their community. Being born in the racist United States makes one question why some leaders are not as vocal for this issue as campaigning for candidates? I just know the other day I cried with my son because as Ahmaud Arbery's mother who could not save her son but be subject to watching 😭😭😭 him struggle for his life and not survive hurts. A Mother's Womb is crying and many black moms who already feel unprotected in many areas by our own feel more so. Great to see those groups in Georgia providing protection. May justice apply to us for once fairly. Racially motivated hunting down by a Private Detective retired who use to work for that state District Attorney puts eye on nepotism associated with civil servants. All parties to me need to be fired. Young, technology savvy politicians who care about IoT Ethics, Artificial intelligence Ethics and just Privacy of our Data need to run. Politicians that understand the digital age. Also need those that get socioeconomic issues stemming from antiquated policies from Administrations past. Just glad Revelations are happening how foreseen. Hope no foibles this time!

Have a great productive day!

My Critics: Last December, Today's November In SEO

Royale L'radin IF YOU DONT INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE ME



As would be when a brand shows the right stuff online, all those who matter to lend it credibility do so. This alone is one reason I cried less. Funny how one who had to even block family who were a bit harsh with comments like, "Everyone knows you do not know what you are doing" actually does. Some things one does and makes a living on should not be divulged while building their service. This was a period that really had me because this one person knew the mission or was told and forgot why things were and are presented a way. Some do not need to or want to come off technical especially if all done was to allow insight. Not to copy exactly but to take elements and incorporate in what was already being done or started up. Nice that all online, as in things I had no proof to substantiate back when scrutinize is now common overall practice in maintaining. I wonder what this sibling who, "Tried it," as a client would say is feeling now? If they even learned what one was doing by now? Sometimes those you admire and look up to hurt you the most. When they should have defended you with critics who claim and still do not see their metrics online, they were bashing you with them. Just the fact things are cached and kept online dependent on certain aspects of storage and relevance to keep. One like I knew vindication would come in provable, quantifiable results that may seem small to those who look at numbers but are what is getting HAY Online attention now. If I claimed HAY Online is to be the premiere spot to promote a certain group as to HAY Online’s About page, of course it would need to prove that where it counts. I look at credibility and ability as to who to partner with. Nice to show that numbers do not always mean everything when know how helps and behavioral analysis of a group coming after one was done. So I cannot and will not work with or harbor "Dead Ducks". Did many forget, even those listening to "The Bridge" years ago, I am here for data that no one seems to have on a sect. I have been researching over a decade a certain group that is not your typical Haitian American toted on Facebook. #‎Wink #‎Twisted #‎AQDNB

Budgeting Thoughts: Google Billing Email Made Me Think Of This

Google billing is cute. They are something else and do not play though about their payments. Straight cut off quick. Best to just leave a good sum in your account to just take from. Pay up as much upfront. 

Look at necessary expenses to keep brand afloat online in annual cost amounts. Meaning if it cost $60 a month for a platform or tool then multiply the amount ($60x12=$720 annually) by twelve months. Now this is a better representation of what must be on deck or worked towards having or paying off monthly. 

Either way it is covered it needs to be if anything started that is part of "Training The Web" is to stay consistent. 

HAY Online Media services rendered for cash helps keep necessary platforms covered that must stay consistent. We work around the startup woes by working to stay afloat. This effort also must build up a clientele as well. 

So in all one must always have multiple hustles to keep things going. Always start with what you can manage and maintain on a twelve month basis not month to month. So if you cannot afford $60 then do $30 for twelve months. 

So, the take away is to just start things you can keep consistent no matter life circumstances and interruptions. At least two to three things continuously updating on different platforms that are leading ones within your brands market.


Side Note: This helps establish a brands online presence. A brand online needs to understand eventually the budget for promotion online will include the maintenance budget. While promotion on different platforms is a must, not all are to be promoted on continually. Some are just for the season, while others should always be a factor in a brands specific online branding strategy. This is why so much focus in the beginning needs to be in "Training The Web" about your brand and community building while branding online.

Early Call: This Young Guy Is Really Growing On Me

Just some things I said to him and why. I broke it down more with him on the phone but I feel some who are struggling could take some of this pointing out. Figure what you can afford and cannot. Then from there stick within your means as in sharing your content. Content being your tracks, video, or writings. It is how you share and how consistently you do.

 Should I Share My Old Songs?

 Share the old stuff always in good ways. What I meant by this is even if the song is old, if it will play, share it. Make sure to use platforms like SoundCloud that play well on most all smart phones. There are platforms that are not so widely compatible thus limiting fans who know of you in listening on the go and new ones who cannot open your link.

 Should I Wait Till I Have Better Equipment?
Iphone music videos are also out doing many too. It really is not all so much what you use, it is how. If you do not have it like that as in money to buy good equipment, learn to use your phone's video camera well. What lighting, angles and feature manipulations on your phone works best to record. Then do vlogs that are well titled and unique that share your talents. Not all can do a great job yet some smart phones that I have used to film media were an Iphone, Samsung, and LG.

 What About Programs to Edit, Mix, and Create With?

 Better programs to edit by budgeting that first into start up needs is a must. Here I meant for you to think of what you need to do it yourself and make those your initial purchases before studio time if both cannot be done. Focus on the process to learn from and jot down what worked and did not.

 What About My Image?

 Image is everything and do not look like you are  begging. What image is, is up to the brand. Some brands want a professional image while others do not. If you want to be professional then you must from jump act accordingly. If you do not care about it because of your audience make up you want to attract do not mind, so be it.


 This kid is a beautiful trip and one of the shining examples why I started blogging under Aquarius Dawn Nancy Blog. It is a release and a way not to repeat myself. Just share the link that can help them do better or learn from my mistakes.

Always Cover Your Ass, Get It?

Aquarius Dawn Nancy Blog Cover Your Ass
From keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk


Yeah, I know the title is pretty vulgar but the point needs to be driven home. The point being, cover your ass for real. Think about it, what would you do to spy on your competition?

Okay, good you get the gist of why I said what I did. This is a dog eat dog world and online is no different. You have many who are not as creative and definitely as original as you since there is only you.

You are the kind of relentless spirit who invents things from the racy thoughts in your head.

The pioneer of industry who saw a niche and jumped in full throttle. No holding back.

You, knew what you came in to do with set goals and a business plan I hope.

You must always reinvent yourself without "Wannabe's" coming in like scavengers so un-original and obvious through their work.

The last "Pep Talk", is what this whole topic was leading to. Do not ever waste a minute again thinking about them, those "Snakes", "Energy Busters" or any hater for that matter. They obviously have to much time on their hand not doing much on their own "Whatever" to be copying you and doing as you.

It is your brand. Respecting it is protecting it. Protect, protect, protect.

Tips:

Log out of search engines of any kind and search that way about your industry, ideas and content. Some will follow all the platforms you are on and set up shop. #CoCitation Co-Citation

Do not log in with the social media plugins. Many will be notified on the platforms they pretended to befriend only for the real sole purpose to get ideas and monitor. I personally do not do this to study anyone. Once you understand information collection on the web and what is working for your opponent, you just watch to make sure they drive their message home correctly. Use the email for the account.

Make sure to be conscience of your replies and such because this too can be monitored. Not saying do not join a conversation but be wary of who is feeding off your moves and correcting theirs. The way things are online, one is supposed to set themselves apart. So copycats only can go so far before their scraping hurts them and any other tactic they use to just copy without proper credit if warranted.

Just study your competitions online presence profile and set yours apart in distinct ways. Branding is about using that thing or those things that work for you and embellish on them so to speak. Yet, do not make sudden moves without thinking of the best way to do undetected. This is why one learning the platforms they use well is also key to a great online presence. Cover Your Ass, Got it?

"No Way Jose": I Stay Away From Snakes, That Is Why I am Still Standing

NO WAY JOSE from /www.reactiongifs.com/way-jose/

Some emails are no longer even opened because the confusion of working with snakes is more that gets me than the brand. If one is dabbling with those who are "Dead Ducks" and I want to dominate with associations that are clean, why is it one would not see it is as they and their snake counterparts say, "It's business." And that is what I am doing, protecting mine and its online reputation when I no longer, "F" with you. That song out now comes to mind,#IDFWU. Very vulgar so for those who know the Big Sean song about a chic he is not feeling will get the gist. I just am not feeling some anymore as many have felt the same about me. Right, "I ain't F'ing with you..." Nope, remember I cannot afford to with goals set for. Broke asses need to realize when to leave well enough alone when the many assumptions of ones brand direction are proved wrong,job is done. The job of dispelling, as many say let your success speak for you. That can also mean for those who get what the goal was. To make sure the youth are promoted well with SEO practices used well. Something must be done right for this to be happening? I love moments of truth that hit the many who never got it. Had they, their own research would make clear it was not jealousy, just facts. Bye haters is all that comes to mind. One has to make a choice if they will entertain the same limiting games. While I position my brand where it is meant to be all in the right timing within means to keep practices consistent others follow follies. Love the learning process as it pertains to how one wants to do business. It is a struggle that is welcomed because where HAY Online is today no matter the many who have come and went was all worth it. Sad that many still do not get what is out there for those who make the time to understand. All ones issues online is brand specific. If Google is asking for us all to be unique and share relevant content, why is it many see to copy or do things that are so limiting? Why are many who want to deal with a beast as online is do not do their research for the brand they lover so much? Why? Well, have a productive day! I know I will.

Train The Web, After It Trains You



“Train the web”, a phrase I love to say that I gather throws many off. Yet, this phrase alone could mean doing one hundred things in one day. Real talk, it is a very daunting matter that many keep making worst as they go it alone without practicing Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the research many care not to is so important. Learn how your industry operates online and see what you are doing or not focusing on. If you do not get it, then that means many who do not have it (Money) like that, should then sit out till you do get it.


All one, not serious is doing for the most part is making sure those out there who can remedy their online presence dilemma will charge them more to do so. It will take time to correct and the average cost for a specialist is around $20 to $30 an hour. The going rate hourly is how some come up with their quotes by estimation of how long it will take to correct. This is something I do. I went by what the hourly rate was for freelance website builders and employers in my states hourly wages for the work. Those who have their strategies cut down to an efficient manner, make more. If it takes five working hours, plus cost of domain registry, website hosting and other costs in association with completion of a job to build a website then combining then draws up a number to give.


The tricky situation is going with someone who just does not only provide aesthetic help, but also knows where the brand went wrong in the first place. This needs to be understood well. Thus why many who are honest will tell a business owner they need to do more than what they came to them for. I for one now have learned not to take the job. Just my personal experience shows results and better working conditions with a client who did their research and continues to stay on top of SEO practices. No time for the headache when many do not care to educate why one thing or the other is done or not done. One faults you for not keeping their platform consistent, while their content creation is lacking. They are not paying you for content creation either so your time to find content on the web for them to share is now doubled. Week two passes still stalled on content but wants a superb job done with nothing. Their team who is supposed to get to you with information or collaborate on campaign strategy is not adhering to the recommendations. So the work is further plagued with set backs none on the other end are aware of, but you and the business owner. The user just notices not much going on with your clients page or website. Not worth it. Best to work for those brands who understand the terrain. 

Understand why something said would be done is no longer the case after their very capable specialist is awaken to a notification message on phone of update changes. Now to go in and mitigate any possible snags if any. Then re-work the whole strategy, may have to go into queued information and change text or image information presented if citing. Just so much can go one way or another. This alone would have constant calls to a client, "Okay, what was to roll out cannot since much in the practices used and queued a few weeks ago or days ago need to be tweaked." The ideal client: "Okay, thanks for the heads up, appreciate the hard work." Many of my clients are like this. Yet, some can be a bit unknowingly irrational for how online matters really are. The non-ideal client: "What is it I am paying you for? Why can't the post already set to roll out go as scheduled? Why did you post that current event (yeah the one that ties in associations)? I do not like the same tweet everyday. Can you change it?" While you take the time in another window out of six or more open at once to message while correcting. Wasting precious time that could have been added to correcting. Just these reasons alone for me personally have me work for short term projects and long term maintenance accounts most. I take on what I can handle and find more can be done with a client who came already with some knowledge or eager to learn. 


With countless video and your own countless attempts with some will have one a bit bothered by some questions. After an email, video inboxed or links to articles breaking down what you are doing for them and many still do not pay mind to them. Yet, they will make assumptions and some even berate you when they feel. I find I do not do well with this and why I hired customer care professionals who are training now. This for me is madness because when I first went for the same services I now provide and assist many youth with, it was hard to grasp. I went into researching and then implementing what was taught online. Then by doing it for my brand I learned so much. Also being somewhat of a perfectionist enthusiast, I went in as in “Ham” on the back end. Still use many website building companies who also host many of my brand(s) websites and through my own efforts with consistent behavior in key areas I could afford to maintain did well. So I got very good at what it was HAY Online was about in the first place, to make sure the youth succeed in all they do. What better way than making sure an entrepreneurial youth has an ace in their corner willing to even step in and do the extra they uniquely need.



I am always staying on top of trends as it pertains to Search Engine Optimization because this is an area I notice many in the community I service have played with in my opinion. Too many, even webmasters and developers I notice do many things the most basic principle in SEO would tell one never to. Link structure issues, website flow issues, and so much more. One thing for sure, I learn a lot from doing that have my clients doing way better. My “thing” is organic traffic generation, online presence monitoring with maintenance and website design restructuring. I love setting clients online presence up from start to maintenance. One is never done with all the changes many platforms make in response to big “Daddy” Google.  When updates roll out, I am well aware and now know how to remedy situations for those who are dealing with the same dilemmas I have or continue to. The knowing why an issue arose is best to understand well how to go about fixing it. Gradually remedy the situation and make sure all that “Daddy” say is what it is. Learn as you go and stay on top of new updates about the updates. 

Like in college all taught from freshman year to senior year expounds on the previous lessons learned before for a set major. So repetitive like, one paying attention, studying every possible angle will get it eventually and master it. That is how one should go about learning Search Engine Optimization. Learn the basics, apply them and move on to the next level of learning. This is when many realize the hell they put the last few online enthusiasts they never gave content to all at once through. Never understood why being asked how often they did an event or would have a project to share. So much information and closely updated about current events is greatly needed and appreciated. All these things help draw inferences and allows one to creatively come up with unique messages, posts of images and edited video that tie in the message of the campaign. The matter of online promotion and marketing still ties in the fundamentals of the conventional manner still a brand should go with. The only thing in today’s world of online everything, one needs to hire someone who has a good, firm knowledge of online practices all around. Knowing code also does not hurt. Have a productive day! I know I will. 

SEO Help With Expectations Need To Be Real & Remedy Consistent



Many need to understand much in what is hurting them online must be corrected before the next phase of anything.

It is likened to this: Imagine you have a small cut and you can either neosporin it or put a bandage on it as it gets bigger and bigger uncontrollably because that wound cannot be remedied by a bandage alone or at all.

Well when one is coming to me in these "Still Up in the Air" times I call them, they need to be real with their expectations. The sad thing is what many need, many do not fully understand. Then the dilemma here too is those providing remedies have the corrections to make that are soooooooooooo vast, there is limited time to educate the lost. Yet what is so disheartening is many leave you who had you put in so much work into. Just to see them go towards measures that just call attention to the problems they were impatient to fix. Many have issues that were left to fester for years and want a remedy in days. One issue is that most who want it cannot or are not aware of the costs with time.

They come to one with a one-time amount they think to quickly fix something that may take three months, six months or even longer to fix based on so many factors. Mainly their budget or how they allot money to tackle online presence is their issue. The remedy itself needs to be consistent and then become part of that brands online strategy until analytic information says that area is no longer of focus.

So why all packages start off three months to six with understanding they may need more time. Always updating the client is key to as I learned through building clientele and addressing problems in communication. One thing for sure, if a client is not paying all upfront or automatic payments set up through a third party, HAY Online Media is not doing the work.

My Daily Online Presence Monitoring Client Accounts, The Analytic Challenges


Everyday, even on my supposed off days, that a client put on notice of understands is time away, I am still checking ranking factors. 

Each client has a folder I am constantly jotting positive measures and negative aspects that is impeding their growth online. 

Now, it is an aspect of my job to understand what is limiting a brands growth online. When it is understood all the areas to tackle, a plan for each area is set up. 

Yet, what is effecting one client is never what effects another. So much is done on the back end to remedy the issue. 

Much has to be taken into consideration and the biggest thing, is the clients budget to remedy and maintain. So often times it is not know how, it is also the means a client has to maintain the solution.

This is why I love clients who start their online ventures with me. I am too caring to a fault sometimes and often times the reason I will not do what a client comes to me for when I know from analytic information it will actually hurt their position online to. 

Had to learn to communicate this to all new clients from the start. My spiel, "You may have a great idea to get yourself where you want to be, we are here to get you where you want to be the right way. We may have to halt on those ideas while we go in and fix the problems. Our services are results driven and practical implementation of Search Engine Optimization to get you better ranking." 

One thing learned the most through feedback, not assumptions many have for one in this field, is to have new clients take an entrance quiz. One that tests their "Researched SEO Knowledge" acuity so when misunderstandings as to what they came to an SEO specialist like myself for they are getting. Or what they came to one for and not getting as they assume they understand why that too is not the case. 

Too many come to us who do this for a living among other things, for a quick fix. That is a very bad assumption, that it is a quick solution. First, when researching many previous and current clients, I have found prior issues that must be remedied before what the client wanted can happen. I have also seen reason to send material about why their content marketing is not being done so to plan for the moment if they are receiving online presence management and maintenance. One of my clients has this package and they are doing well the past year almost this May will make them with HAY Online Media. 

My company is meant to help those on a budget maintain and improve the right way. We focus on the future and how well content will last online the right way for their brand. So much so, it is a bit more intimate the work and why we keep a roster of client updated. If content drives much of what anyone sees or does online, why keep one driving this point with those few who find an issue with their campaign that had no branded content? Content is king and if one does not have it, the person handling your online presence whether one medium or a mix of services: Social Media, Website, Press Releases, Forum Participation, Link Building and More is in need of it as soon as possible. 

Get the unique content and if none, the constant sharing of others branded material is now going to overshadow your brand before a clear message was even shared about your own. So much goes into online presence so many who scrutinize do not even realize. Many who offer these services also need to understand that one who really does this to the T, can notice who is just setting up opportunistic shop in a new and growing field of service to the one who really is showing true correction tactics. As they say, "Real recognizes real." One thing to note, each specialist has their way of remedying a situation based on proven practices that yield results. Always learning and like how platforms using PHP are a bit different as to copy and paste. Those who understand code, CSS and other elements to website design may get what I refer to. My divulging it all will be crazy since it is what I do. Just good to understand code and new trends that help one change how to go about things down the road.

So every day, second and moment something is changing. Those who are aware of those changes fair better than the one who just read up on the latest in online practices copying what all else are doing. Prime example, Hashtags should be used in a strategic manner. Yet many use a different sequence and also fail to understand that after a while when more and more use them ones own posts may not ever be seen by potential conversions or visitors. So much to be done in moderation or overload dependent on again, the clients unique needs or inherent issues before they came to one for correction. I find the best clients are those who come well educated about the services they wanted. Yet, I assumed all wanting to get their business online were so serious they researched all aspects before paying for services. That alone is another blog post my friends. 

Have a productive Saturday! I know I will.

Online Presence Is What I Do



One can take me arrogant all they want, yet one cannot say I never kept it real with them. I monitor for a living and for my protection in the areas I can. If you have been stifled before, why would one say things to those they meet during a business relationship more than what they purposely do?

Many perceive me as stupid enough to let all I do be known, all I get into known or use known for my competitive edge. This is not to say I with-hold information, I just do not give up what I specifically do to get results. This is my livelihood and many just hang to see what they can bite off you. Everyone who gets into business should know this and act accordingly. With the way Search Engine Optimization has turned into a lucrative industry in its infancy of "Boom Town" break out, it still is common sense the practice. Now, it takes work to implement a strategy customized to address key goals of a campaign, but the consistent adaptive efforts pay off. You have to learn from mistakes, to lessen the blows of future instant curves in a online approach to promotion or marketing. One thing that never changed, but was rarely if ever back in the "Hey Days" of the World Wide Web craze used, was research. I did back then and still do now. So when the SEO world was revealed to me in 2009, I was all to eager to dive into learning it.

Heck, I am use to finding what I need online and this knack of being good at it helps tremendously. Now the matter of each individuals approach, this is added by looking at things many who do PR, website design, coding and developing over look for one reason or another, the user. Peep how social media is being used and why. Social media craze and the consumer online market craze was evident before many bloggers or SEO enthusiasts were alluding to connections. Promoting, marketing,  joining the conversation and overall encouragement of audience engagement by CEO's is a good look now a days.

Being a social butterfly who is in-tune with their target market helps a lot. Everyone wants their time to shine and if they have the tenacity and willingness to learn, why not help them? I know I would.

Aquarius Dawn Nancy, Yes I Am That Chic

Aquarius Dawn Nancy Baby Picture
Circa 1983 - 1984
Hi, I am Aquarius Dawn Nancy a Haitian American Single Mother, Entrepreneur, Online Queen/Junkie, Social Media Consultant for La Beaute Magazine, Online Presence Consultant, IT Company Owner, proud founder of Haitian American Youth Online Media, Inc and now a blogger for Day to Day Finances with this great release for me personally. :)

My first post and as much as I always have much to say on a topic when asked or provoked to respond without provocation, I cannot right now think of anything. Just kidding, especially those who know me, I have just begun.

Well my posts will be short and sweet in my terms, lol.
Where do I begin? Well you can say I came in this world as a “Little Haiti” baby so to speak. Born in Miami and raised in Broward County, I really am not well versed in the “Streets” of Dade. Now, Broward is my heart line. Relaxing place, that is what it is for me. Yes, I am not one who grew up in the streets, but I embraced them young enough to learn so much from so many that have humbled me, toughened me up and made who I am today. Grateful to many I know who have been an inspiration to me in a positive or negative way.

Much has transpired in my 33 years on this earth and at times I will just let my thoughts out or not. It is an “As the Wind Blows” kind of thing for me. So today this 26th day of February, I choose to just share my current joys. Like my son who is six this past month and ringing in another year to bless the earth with my unique presence. Yes, you will find much conceit these days in this blog. One must be that inner cheerleader when all can be internal as in what you are living through. Many like to say to stay at peace, well some of us must muster up the calm after the storm others we allow in our lives bring. Only difference for me is, I will gladly ignore a call from an annoying entity and why I understand if one finds me as such, no hard feelings if I too am done the same.



There is a movement brewing that all are joining no matter race or creed. It is the, “Positive Vibes Movement”, I like to call it. We want to find inner peace in our way and not how others generalize it or say it to be. Finding peace can mean rocking out to Rock – N – Roll or just going outside to sit in the sun to meditate a bit. We all de-stress differently. I like to write and always have had journals. Now keeping them is another story. I recently lost all my belongings through my own actions but in keeping it real I do not have my old ones. So much made me and continues to mold the work in progress I am as we all are. Evolution, people! Sigh, it was all part of the master plan for my life though, “The Purge” and "This Purge"(My Blog).
