It's summer again!

Wow, the weather can not make up it's mind! It was in the 90's yesterday here in Kansas. Crazy. I am soooo ready for fall weather. I love the clothes, the temperature and of course..Halloween! That has got to be one of my favorite holidays.

Not too much going on here. Still buying keywords at Kooday. Still hoping it works out in the long run. My pal and I started a traffic builders forum and are working on promoting that site. I figured that the traffic exchange and social media type folks needed a forum that wasn't filled with matrix programs and hyips. Time will tell. If you'd like to take a look and post some of your favorite traffic builders, it is called TrafficBuzzz. Cute name huh? If you decide to join, we have a promo running. We will post your banner on the forum for one week FREE. Pretty good deal. Just pm Honeybee once you have joined and made a forum post. Yes, you need to post to qualify. I imagine everyone has a traffic builder program or two they would like to build.

So, I notice a ton of advertisements for that PayBox thing. I don't think it is on the level, but not sure what they would be trying to accomplish. Maybe collecting email addresses? Anyway, I wouldn't waste a ton of advertising credits on it. Can't see how it could possibly be legit. Use some common sense before getting carried away with anything, ok?

Ok, off to play fetch with the pooches. Talk soon.

Happy Labor Day!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. My American friends are enjoying a holiday this weekend. It's great weather here in Kansas, hope it is that nice everywhere!

I spent a good portion of the past few days working on a new forum with my pal Lisa. She had a great idea to start a forum for traffic programs only. This would include social marketing sites along with traffic exchanges, safelists and the like. I thought it was an awesome idea. We finally got it finished yesterday. Now to work on marketing it. Ought to be an easy sell in the surfs. If you'd like to take a peek, it is called TrafficBuzzz.

Kooday is still hanging in there. They had to switch pay processors to Alert Pay so it slowed things down a bit. I think it will pick up. If they had just started with that in the first place, this thing would be AWESOME. It's still pretty dang good. You should check it out if you haven't.

Ok, time for bed here. Tomorrow is a holiday, but I will be working!

Fall is in the air!

It's still hot here, but with football on television now I can just FEEL fall coming! I even pulled out some of my fall clothes in anticipation of the long awaited cooler weather. I love fall don't you? Weather is great, football is on, the Internet springs back to life...I mean what is not to love?

Speaking of love, I am still in love with my Kooday. This is just so much fun! I see the potential down the road if things go as the owners plan. In case you are considering it, here is what you need to do. First off, click on my(or whomever) link and sign up. Then, you will need to fund your Kooday account with at least $5 via paypal. $1 of that goes to fees, which leaves you $4 to purchase key words with. This is the fun part! Try to figure out what key words you think will have value in the future. Don't get too attached, others may come to the same conclusion and buy them from you. That of course, is immediate gratification and profit! I'm doing well with the immediate income part, now need to look toward the future and pick some true value key words. There is a Kooday discussion forum that just opened that might help you with questions and tips.
You can always write me as well. I am always glad to help. Take a chance, it's only 5 bucks!

I joined a few pre-launch free things. If I get an inkling that they will be good ones, I will let you know. Signing off for now, Sunday night football is on!!

Playing around....

Well, it's too hot to go outside, so I am working away on a few things. I realized that I was pretty far behind on loading my TripleYourList leads into my Google Group. Like very far behind. What was I thinking? I mean it's the perfect way to increase one's list and yet I was months behind! Caught up now, but it took a bit of time to get there. Other than that, just looking around at stuff. I need to clean house but haven't been motivated to do that yet.

I'm toying with starting a Safe List. There are a bunch of places you can do one cheap and easy. Just not sure how effective or attractive they are. Guess it won't hurt to try. I am more convinced than ever that owning sites is the way to go. I am tired of all the cheesy programs out there. Looking for something with a little substance, ya know? Starting one's own sites seems to be a better option than throwing away money and dealing with "drama". I mean a little drama can be entertaining, but....

I'm still having a great time with Kooday. I started with $5 worth of key words and my cash out request was for $65. Not bad at all.

I am off to explore. I feel the urge to create today. (:

YIPPEE!!

I am still having a ton of fun with Kooday that I mentioned earlier. I think this program could go the distance. They are supposedly working to build a search engine based on the keywords and linked sites that members add. I started by putting in 5 bucks and bought tons of keywords for 10 cents. Several of these are now selling for upwards of 20 bucks. My balance is now up to $52 which is a pretty good return on my 5 dollars. I requested a payout for $25. This is sort of like daytrading, but with key words. I love this thing!!

Anyone join that Instant blog site? I am still up in the air on it, but it's free, so I did it. Not sure anyone reads my blog posts. ): I started one about life's embarrassing moments. Maybe no one else has those.......

Joined a new team. I love teams. I was a leader in one several years ago, which is how I got into all this online stuff. I just had to join this one as it's name is so close to the one I was in before. This one is called Rising Phoenix Team. Pretty good plan and some nice folks. I still miss my old team. I met some great individuals. Some of them have moved on now, hope they are doing well. Online friends are sometimes like that...here one minute, gone the next.

Hope everyone is having a great week. Drop me a line if you have something interesting going on.

Gadzooks!

Wow, I am having fun with that site I told you about yesterday. Kooday is really entertaining! I have sold multiple keywords since I last wrote about the site. I have some referrals now, so I am getting a kick out of watching the pennies roll in when they buy a keyword. Notice I said pennies. This is not a "get rich quick" site so if that is the type of thing you go for, don't bother. I am interested to see how this all turns out as the site grows. It is still in Beta, so bound to get even better. Did I mention it is also a profit sharing site? Really, take a look. It's fun if nothing else. Don't forget to hook your favorite sites up to any keyword you bought.


Now, on to something that I have been doing for some time. Here is an excerpt from a post I made in my forum:

If you are not actively building a list of contacts, you are not serious about being successful online. There are ways to do it without subscribing to an autoresponder service. Those can be confusing and somewhat expensive. Building a list is also time consuming. But, there is a fairly easy way...google groups. Each of you has Google and the capability of starting your own google group. I would strongly recommend that as the easiest way to start building a list. You can set it up where you are the only one who posts, thus your posts end up being emailed to those that are in your google group. How to get people in your google group? Easy, you can import emails from various places. You can not add too many at one time, I usually do three at one whack. You get these addresses from people who have joined under you in programs. I usually add them and it prompts for an email send. You can write and let them know they have been added to your group as you are their upline in "blah,blah, blah". They have the option of unsubscribing, but I find most do not. From then on, it is up to you to send them things of interest to build your reputation with them. Do NOT send them "crap". They WILL unsubscribe if they figure out that all you care about is a referral and do not have their best interests at heart. Ok, enough of that. Here is another FREE way to add names to your list EACH week. The program is called TripleYourList and it DOES work. I get on average 6 names to add to my subscriber list a week. Same thing as I earlier said, the email I send for this particular group mentions that I received their name through TripleYourList and that is why they have been transported to my google group. They are in it for the same reason I am, so most stay. Actually, I can not think of any from my TYL group that have opted out. Give it a try. Give the google group thing a try. It works.

Interesting stuff today!

I was a busy bee today, lot's of interesting stuff came out. Where to start....

First, I was perusing a forum and for once was in the ptc section. I saw a site that looked different. I signed up for free and the next thing I knew, I was buying keywords and linking my sites to existing keywords. DOH! What a sucker I am. But...read on. The site is called Kooday. Their goal is to build a search engine. Here is a blurp from the site:

Our ultimate goal is to become a competitive Search engine and we are taking a different and refreshing approach. Other Search engines use a bidding system and pay-per-click fees to link websites to keywords. (like Google Adwords) This is how they make most of their money and have gotten very rich. Kooday is not going to compete with these types of rules. Kooday is making it completely affordable for anyone to link their website to any search word.
Anyone can link their website to any keyword by purchasing the KeyWord or if the KeyWord is too expensive they can simply pay a very small fee to the owner of the KeyWord. Kooday allows any person to own Keywords. This means that you make the money when someone wants to link their website to KeyWords. We are unaware of any other Search Engine that allows its members to own, control and profit from KeyWords. (Ownership of KeyWords pays!)

Now, I really did not expect much, but the keywords I bought were around ten cents, so I figured I was not losing much. Next thing I knew, I had sold three of them!! I also spent a few cents linking some of my sites to some existing keywords. Very cheap. I figure it is a very small investment and just might end up being a pretty good thing.

The second thing I did was join InstantBlogSubscribers. I'm still figuring out how it works, but so far it seems pretty cool. You can make a blog and they promise that you will have at least 200 readers; more if you upgrade. I figure to join for free and give it a shot. It certainly seems to be popular. I've probably received 20 email ads for it since signing up. No harm in giving it a try!


Ok, well I think I will go see if there are any other interesting keywords to buy. (:


Take care,

Diva
