Who Is Ana?

My name is Ana Hoffman.

Where to start talking about my wonderful self…

Here is a quick recap (it’s amazing how a quick few sentences can sum up our lives, isn’t it?).

I am a wife to a wonderful husband, a mother to a beautiful and, no doubt, genius little girl, and a successful internet entrepreneur.

I also devoted my life to Jesus Christ many years ago, and He remains my true priority, focus, and hope.

I was born and raised in Communist Russia.  I loved growing up there, but I loved the freedom in after-Communist Russia even more. Now that we can joke about it, here is one for you:

“This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “What is the difference between the Constitutions of the USA and USSR?” Both guarantee freedom of speech.” We’re answering: “Yes, but the Constitution of the USA also guarantees freedom after the speech.”

In 1996, I moved to the States to climb the “Corporate Ladder”.

Somewhere in there I met my husband – we were married within 3 months and lived happily ever after.

Once I realized that I did not want to trade the quality of life that I always dreamed of for the money, I decided to try modeling.

It was fun while it lasted.

Meanwhile, my husband joined the Air Force and off we went for the next 10 years of our lives.

Along with many days and months spent apart, we also had the best time of our lives living in Europe for a few years.

If you ever need travel advice, I am your gal.

Our daughter was born in 2007, my husband was medically discharged from the military a couple of months after that happy (and painful for me) occasion and the tough times hit.

We were unemployed for an entire year, which as you can imagine was not an easy situation to deal with.

Our circumstances did serve as a spring board for my online career though.

I am not going into details here: I will simply say that for a while I was one of 97% of marketers who spent time and money trying to “make it” to no avail.

The change came when I started educating myself about the industry and the proper way to market my business.

The road was rough and bumpy, but it took me in the right direction.

I will tell you one thing: I’ve been on both sides of the fence.  The view on this side is much better and the grass is definitely greener.

Please take a look at our lineup, venue, and workshops. It would be a great pleasure to have you as part of our first event. I look forward to hearing from you.

As much as I’d love to come to NY in September, I’d have to say no at this time.

hey Anna – you know as well as most of us batting on the internet for a good innings that the ball bounces in unexpected ways more often than not and sometimes hits us right in the face! You wrote in your recent email about feeling de-motivated, like even the things we hold dear isn’t enough…. enough to know that that feeling too shall pass. I may well have to add “Can do, tomorrow” to my positive affirmation page “I can” … since I am feeling up I will settle for a bit of marketing (thanks for the latest tips “keep your money”) see the graphic with a smiley http://www.beingambientmusic.com/115/well-being/positive-phrases.html

Hey Ana,
I just read your wonderful story…I want to believe that it does happen to build a successful online company without spending a fortune…I am happy to see that you are not like many people in this business to promise big numbers and huge income. I started 2 months ago and the truth is that I have no idea where I am going, if I am doing good or bad…I work a lot but I don’t really know if somebody can succeed without paying for everything (likes, followers, links…).
Anyway, I really thank you for your story, it is optimistic. I hope to learn many things here in your blog.

Ana Hoffman January 6, 2012 at 9:14 pm

Thank you so much, Lenia.

Yes, it’s possible to build a business with a minimum investment, especially to begin with.

That’s why I got out of all “traditional” online businesses like MLM, etc. because I couldn’t promise anyone they’ll make money with clear conscience.

It’ll come down to how much you want it; the rest, like knowledge and money and knowing what you are doing comes with time. lol

Hey Ana,

This is an amazing story of yours and it is always encouraging to meet successful entrepreneurs who were also struggling in the beginning as that shows that if you put the hard work into place, then you can get rewarded as well.

This is one of the blogs I’m going to read from the first post to the end (just a little experiment I’m going to do for 2012)

Stay great! ;-)

Holly Jahangiri from writing goals November 27, 2011 at 10:57 pm

Hi, Ana. Thanks for the helpful tips you left us in your videos!

I have a question about that, though – I tend to automatically unfollow people who auto-DM me when I follow them. Do you not find that to be a problem? I’m a bit hesitant to try that one technique, though the commenting one comes rather too naturally to me (I say that because I tend to write whole blog posts in other bloggers’ comment areas and treat the comments like forum threads).

Reply

Ana Hoffman November 28, 2011 at 9:20 am

My philosophy about Twitter is this, Holly: the best way to be heard there is to establish just enough contact with your followers to entice them to come to your blog.

That’s when the real relationship building begins.

With that in mind, I am more about numbers on Twitter – that’s why I have 6 different accounts.

I also have one “quality” account where I don’t follow/unfollow anyone.

So to me, if someone unfollows me because of a DM, it’s not much of a concern.

Reply

Holly Jahangiri November 28, 2011 at 10:03 am

Ahhh, that makes sense. I need to build up another couple of Twitter accounts, then. Because it does matter to me on my main one! I get it, though – thanks!

Hi Ana,

I came across your website via Yaro Starak’s email to me. As I was looking for ways to increase my traffic (which is my biggest challenge now), I told myself that I am going to do what it takes to get it (legally of course). So in my pursuit of getting more traffic, I read a lot of posts and articles, and also came across many courses on traffic generation. Now, I am quite confused than when I began because…yup…information overload! But I want to thank you for your article. It is an inspiration and a breath of fresh air..

Thanks! Lazulikey.

Reply

Ana Hoffman October 31, 2011 at 6:41 am

I can definitely relate to info overload.

When it comes down to traffic generation, there’s really nothing new under the sun.

There are two major ways to go about it: 1. focus on SEO and 2. networking (guest blogging, commenting, social media, etc).

One bite at a time, right?

Reply

Danielle Parsons September 27, 2011 at 8:11 am

I won a contest Ana had in the summer of 2011. She awarded me a license to the Thesis blog template. The template is SEO friendly and is helping me build better websites for my business. Ana also did an analysis of my site and I have implemented the changes. I have already seen some increased traffic as a result of making the updates to my websites.

I also highly recommend CommentLuv premium. Before I began using this powerful plugin, I had 40 plugins which slowed my site down.

Little headline about you, great insight!

Guess life’s much more fun for you now and you look back to that year of unemployment and laugh it off, right?

Hi Ana. I’m also originally from Russia, well actually Belarus :) . I think you’re doing an amazing job with your blog. Thank you for your tips. I’m a new blogger, so I’ll be using them to build my traffic. It’s still all very new and confusing to me, but hopefully with time and a lot of effort my blog will become popular.

Hi Ana
Thanks for the connection through Twitter. Great reading your about previous life. I do know where Kazakhstan is as I lived there for four years building a womens training centre for women coming out of crisis. We live back in Australia currently but look forward to our next assignment!
Look forward to connecting more with you as I too am on the journey of internet marketing…creating an income so we can get back overseas.
Talk again soon.

Look forward to seeing you around.

Hello Ana,

I just found your blog today. Like another person mentioned above, I never would have guessed you were from Russia. My wife is Russian, as well, although she is from Kazakhstan.

Most Americans can’t seem to get it in their head that she is not from Russia but still Russian. I can tell people several times where she is from and later they will tell someone she is from Russia. Even members of my own family do this.

As my wife says, Americans are “geographically challenged”. Don’t let me get started on the educational system in America. :)

I look forward to reading your SEO book and checking out your future blog posts.

God Bless.

Stacy

Hi Ana
Just came across your blog today and thought that I would say hi. As a newbie in this blogger world I must say that you have done a very nice work with this blog. As a Dane I know it can be hard to write in another language than your native born language, but you seem to be doing very well. I will get back to read more of your blog posts very soon.

Hi Ana,

I’m a relative newbie at blogging and the whole website optimization thing. OK, I’ll confess – on these topics I may be considered severely learning-disabled, but I have read and listened to a tsunami of information from the millions of so-called “SEO experts.” (Loosely translated, that means about 90% of Twitter users). But, I spent some time on your site, and I just took a quick read through report, 7 Steps, and I have to tell you, this is great stuff. Although my SEO IQ may be below room temperature, I’ve heard enough of it to recognize when something resonates with me. I bookmarked your site because there’s so much here and I will have to print out your report to review it in detail (and hopefully figure out how to use it).

So, for what it’s worth, I just wanted to let you know that. If there’s ever a way I can help YOU, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks for the information and keep up the fabulous work.

Hi, Ana.

You followed me on Twitter, I follwed you back. I checked you out, and I started reading your articles. I was attracted to your honest and open way of communicating. I have been searching for sites that provide a no-nonsense approach to sharing information that is helpful to those of us starting out in the web-based business arena. But I really got my biggest surprise when I clicked on the “About Ana” link on your nav bar.

Mostly I must say it is very refreshing to find someone like you who is not afraid to confess their faith in Christ, the source of all things. God bless you!

I have been fumbling about for a while, using the trial-and-error approach to creating a web presence with my blogs and web sites. With your help, I know I will find focus and get on the path to success.

Thank you so much for being who you are and for being so willing to help others. You exhibit a fine example of how the web can be mutually beneficial.

Your new friend,
Alan
