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.

Hi Ana, this was quite a nice and inspiring post and I really enjoyed to get to know you a bit better. By the way, the picture on the bottom right looks like Austria? I’m Austrian that’s why I’m asking.

Yes, I’ve been to Austria a couple of times, Robert – beautiful country!
Hi Ana! I can’t believe it took me this long to read your About page! I did not know you were a model!
Beautiful! I also had no idea you were a Christian and your husband was Air Force (I am as well). Looks like we have more in common than I realized. Just wanted to stop by and say hi and thanks for your inspiration!

Hi Ana,
Lovely About page! Truly enjoy your blog.
I am from Denmark and like you write in my second language. I started my blog in July of 2010 to help couples communicate more effectively and create more satisfying relationships. I love the idea of reaching couples all over the world. What is your take on couple relationship blogs?
Just read your newest post about how you created your blog – you are such an inspiration – thank you Ana!

I have been reading your site for more than a month now, and after a year of trying to get a site off the ground, I think I finally have it figured out. My challenge now it to monetize. I love that you are a fellow believer in God through Christ Jesus. I am too!!
I really do wish you much, continued success in building your business. I’ll be watching and following – and implementing!

Hi Ana,
Great stuff, really inspiring, I know how tough it is when you first start up in this business! All the best to you.
Mark
Thank you, Mark!
Wonderful story. I haven’t checked the box for your book, because I already have it. Your blog here, is a reference blog, an inspiration.
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.
Lenia
Lenia invites you to read: 3 Κανόνες για συγγραφή αποδοτικών τίτλων
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
Thank you for sharing this information Ana! You are an inspiration to me as I embark on creating an online business.
And yes, Jesus Christ is the most important person in my life!
God bless,
Diana
Blessings to you as well, Diana; and thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I too am a follower of Jesus Christ!
Jay hart invites you to read: Kick Off 2012 with Project 365
Welcome, Jay!
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!
Sergio
Sergio Felix invites you to read: How To Create Your First Video: Patrick Griffin Interview
I think most entrepreneurs have quite a few stories of failure to tell, Sergio – they just prefer not to.
Personally, I get more encouraged when I read bios that include the good with the bad and not make me feel like I’d never be able to do that!
I enjoyed reading your bio and agree with you that I prefer to read that someone had ups and downs and can relate to them better than some hyped up overnight success story.

Thanks so much, Stacy, and welcome to Traffic Generation Cafe!
Dear Anna – getting the type, quantity and quality of information I am looking for on one site is already good. Big bonus is that it its not coming in geek language or from someone scamming some business of me. Thank you for your honest and fresh presentation and good luck with your efforts.
Regards, Johann
Thanks so much, Johann.
After being online for a couple of years, I still don’t speak geek! LOL
hahaha, speaking non-geek and still be able to make it big in the online world is really sexy=). I’m doing the same
Tram Tran invites you to read: You can start LATE, but…
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).
Holly Jahangiri invites you to read: Short Term Goals, Long Term Vision
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.
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!
Hey Ana so nice to meet you! Like you, I was born in the USSR and lived in post-Soviet (and quite decrepit) Eastern European land leaving for the US at the age of 15. btw what happened to your twitter account? – wanted to follow you and seeing “Account Suspended” …
Also pleasure to meet a former “comrade”, Tanya. LOL
Yes, my Twitter account was suspended. Have no idea why, contacted Twitter, but of course it’s Thanksgiving time…
oh man that’s terrible I’d be a nervous wreck if this were to happen to my twitter accounts.. let me know when you get reinstated as I’d love to follow your tweets
Like the fact that you mentioned Jesus
I’m starting to get into IM. Would love to connect IM and making money with my passion (Christ). Any suggestions?
Jonathan invites you to read: Updates on Street Healing in Singapore

Hi, thanks a lot for encourging. Promise to be with your blog a million years.
WOW Anna ! Just read your story and about family. your daughter looks so innocent and cute that just fall in love with that little girl. Myself is an MBA in Materials mangement and now a days learning Internet marketing despite a routine job. Any recommendation from your side how shall I excel in it will be a great help.
with warmest regards,
Sukhwinder Isser
Well, thank you so much! Yes, she is a keeper. LOL
Look forward to seeing you around; all humility aside, my blog is a great place to learn about online marketing.

Hi Ana! I discovered you via Twitter and, wow, am I glad I did! I own a very successful network marketing business. I know how to build successful network marketing organizations. But, traffic generation is, not yet, one of my skills. Having read through parts of your Blog, I am convinced that I am going to learn much from you. Also, I hope to reciprocate by providing helpful information and great opportunities to you and your subscribers. I, like you, accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour many years ago. I believe that there are no “accidents” or “coincidences”. I believe that all things happen just as HE intended. I believe that my discovering you was a part of HIS grand plan. Thank you.
You are so very welcome, Stephen – always a pleasure to meet a brother in Christ!
Look forward to seeing you around.
Hi Ana,
I laughed out loud on reading your Armenian Radio gag – one which I’ll take to dinner time and time again.
I must say your blog has a refreshingly honest tone so congratulations on it and may it bring you even more success!
Ewan Kennedy invites you to read: Rank Pages By Ignoring Google PageRank
Thanks so much, Ewan, and let me know how my joke does around the differ table. LOL
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.
lazulikey invites you to read: If I Could Turn Back Time
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?
Good to know so much about you Ana. Your daughter looks really sweet. Lovely smile. I think I will be commenting here quite often.

Hi Ana, I found your blog through a guest post you wrote for TechSnare that I found really useful on getting 10 high quality links in a short amount of time. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. DIY SEO doesn’t seem as daunting now! Thanks —J.D.
It definitely is not as scare as it seems, J.D. – a little learning goes a long way!
I really2x love your blog, your blog is so beautiful like you. Anyway i read your article posts and it is very interesting.
Ana, fixed the redirect problem that happened on my site. I don’t remember adding WP List Pro but that is why comments were redirected to my web host. I still have a PR4 so can I now be added to your Comment Luv premium list of blogs?
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.
I’m glad it worked for you, Danielle and it was a pleasure getting to know you better. Thank you for this review.
Hi Ana,
I just want to say again….thank you for your wonderful information! You continue to help with this massive site project of mine.

Thanks Ana for sharing your story. Glad that we’re both following in the same footsteps. I often refer to Jesus as ‘The General Of The Universe’ – ever directing and ever guiding. It’s just so great to be loved and to be able to share his love with others. I do that through my blog – http://www.motivationalmemo.com as well – a powerful medium to reach the very ends of the earth – by being salt, light and a city set on the hill. Be blessed!

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.
Such a pleasure to meet you, Narelle – thanks for stopping by and introducing yourself.
Isn’t online business a great thing to have when you are on the go constantly?
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
Lol – I hear that often, Stacy. I am also glad that you found my blog and look forward to “seeing” you around.
Hi Ana,
would never have guessed that you are Russian. Thanks for sharing your story with us. You are a very open person and that makes it easy to read your posts. Keep em comming
Amazing Story Ana. I guess you did not exercise your freedom of speech too much while in Communist Russia….lol. I must say that I am inspired by your work. Best wishes, and continue the great work.
No, I didn’t Wayne – but I’m making up for it now.
Thank you for your kind words.
Hey Anna,
I think that is very cool how you put your faith right out there.
It is clear it is a central part of who you are.
I look forward to reading your posts.
Thanks for the kind words, Chris and welcome to my blog!
I think this is one of the best “about” pages I have ever read. I really struggled with writing mine, and this hasn’t made me anymore satisfied with the result

Jay invites you to read: Why am i teaching you What’s in it for me
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
Hello Alan,
Thank you for taking time to learn more about me. Yes I am proud and will always be on my faith. As to the information I share in my posts, I love doing what I’m doing, it’s my passion so I will know that I will never get tired helping others through the ideas I share with all of you. I’m also looking forward to knowing you and reading your blog as well.
More blessings to you,
Ana
Hi Ana,
thank you for the welcome message! I found your blog just yesterday via twitter and maybe with blogs it’s the same thing as with persons: The first impression counts a lot. If users hop off or stay is often a decision of seconds. Due to lack of time I didn’t explore your blog very well yet, there’s lot of content, but my first impression is: great! Its so distinctive, clearly laid out and well written. It’s a pleasure to browse, the articles are carefully outlined and easy to read. That’s what I noticed at once. (Well, and I liked your fancy opening “single canned” newsletter.)
Have a nice week
Gerhard
Hi Gerhard,

Nice to meet you here Ana, I have been receving your daily posts and always find find a good tip. I also started my small online business and even though the start was tough I am so happy about all what I have learned so far,an the wonderful people I have met while following my freedom ideas and really look forward to the future development
Thanks Ana! You’ve got my support!
Appreciate it, Damita!
That’s what my intention was with my report – to make it easy to understand. SEO is not difficult, but many folks make it out to be and make us go hire “experts” to do easy tasks that we can all do.
Look forward to seeing more of you around my blog!
Ana
Wow!
What a great story!
And to think I just began by checking out a friend request from you on Twitter…I always check people’s bio on Twitter.
So pleased you declare your faith up front…Some of us I guess, are a bit jaded and forget the wonderful soul freedoms we gain from our belief in the redemptive and forgiveness of Christ.
Love your Freedom Radio story too! hahaha…Good onw
Kindest,
Poppie
Hello Poppie,
Thanks for taking time to know more about me. I also do that with people I encounter here and even on twitter to know more about them and to be able to build good professional relationship. With regards to my faith, I am proud to say and announce that I am a Christian and that Christ is the center of my life.
Blessings to you,
Ana

Keep up the good work and I know the good Lord will bless you abundantly…

Hello Chelsea,

God bless,

Hi Ana,
I got on your list somehow, and I’ve been getting your emails for a while, and since I’m feelling so needy of help today, and where to really find someone who can help ME, I checked out out your website and gain and just read your bio. Go Ana!!! And Go Team Ana & Her Family!!! Love the video of your daughter learning to clap and perform with a group. Priceless. I feel your love. It’s so awesome and inspiring to see pure learning in the moment!
I’m very INTO learning and healthy human development (“development” is just a synonym for “learning”). I’ve started an education company, Learning Goals Institute, LLC, The focus is on producing books, internet content, classes, manuals, training materials focused on “Basic Life Principles for Healthy Human Beings” that are supported by credible science or are so self-evident in everyday life as to need no scientific validation.
I have the ideas (over 150 book title & book ideas) and the two publishing consultants I’ve shared the ideas with have strongly validated the marketability of my book ideas. My business model is to create collaborations/partnerships with science writers to produce.
After interviewing several web developers for helping me create a website for my education company and realizing how complex and expensive it would be to get my ideas from my head/vision to a credible effective product — just for attracting collaborators — I decided “Oh I can do a simple blog for ‘Tom’s University (these short 5-10 min. daily classes on ‘basic principles of life’ ‘basic life skills’ that I’d been doing for over 2 years)”
It was relatively easy to get up a blog for Tom’s University, but after posting over 130 Podclasses, and trying to learn enough basic stuff to get it going, I’m at the max of my current skills and my skills aren’t enough to make my audience grow.
I don’t want another class or e-book (I will probably skim yours). I’m looking for a consultant/mentor, who can help me develop a realistic strategy for at least the next 6 months. From my efforts so far to find such help, my primary requirement (in addition to their expertise in Wordpress, SEO & internet/social media marketing) is that they listen to two or three of my podclasses on Tom’s University (they mostly run from 5 to 10 minutes), and “get” the uniqueness of my style and my message. I know I’ve “got something” very unique, and I need help from people who “get me” and believe I can be successful. (P.S. I’m sure that one of my primary “next steps” is to do video classes. I’m working on getting that going — getting the right camera and equipment for me. I’m always so slow on the tech stuff).
Do you do consulting for tech-toddlers such as me (I’m kinda at your daughter’s developmental stage analogously with my learning to do this blog, techy, marketing, with the big kids — clapping proudly at my blog)?
Anyway, I’m proud of you and keep up your great attitude and commitment to yourself and your family. Please, I’m only interested in working with people who “get” me and Tom’s University and get excited about working with me ’cause they get excited about what I’m doing.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Ana, in addition to enjoying your blog, I enjoyed learning about you and your family here. Looks to me that little Emma loves the freedom of her very own expression. Go, little Emma, you’re doing great… and so is your mommy
Thanks, Monika – you certainly brightened up my night!
What mother doesn’t love receiving compliments about her children.
