So glad it is Friday!!

Hurray! I am ready for the weekend. I have plans to be out late tonight having fun, but tomorrow? Back to work.

I have a little confession to make. I did upgrade in that new Revenue Share site called MoonDanceTraffic. Just a teensy little upgrade...I promise. I know, one more thing to surf every day. But geez, these are all working out so well it is hard to resist. I WILL say, that my favorites remain AdVentures4U and PAC. AdVentures4U is working on a new site, so I have a bit of a surf holiday there. If these guys can keep hanging in there, I will swear off of all FUN programs. You don't believe me I can tell. Well, I may be crazy, but I know when you find something that works, you stick with it. Maybe just a few fun programs mixed in?

Ok, so if I have finally convinced you to try some of the Revenue Share Ad programs, perhaps you are wondering how to make the best of them. As I mentioned, you don't need to refer to earn with these. You also do not have to be "at the top". What you DO have to do is surf your sites each day and upgrade to a level you are comfortable with. I would also strongly suggest writing some ads and sending them out via your favorite safe list. It doesn't hurt to gain some referrals, it is just extra income for you. It's also a way to help your program of choice grow. One thing to look at before joining at too high a level is the plan of the Company to have revenue outside of new member joins. This is important for the longevity of the program. AdVentures4U is working towards that very thing by adding a new program to the mix. I hope it is successful as this has been a very lucrative venture for many people. PAC appears to have plans also, more on that to come.

I have a new affiliate site that I need to look in to. I joined as a requirement for one of my private investment programs. I hear that it has good potential. I'll let you know what I discover.

Gotta run!

Instant Capture Page??

While perusing a forum today, I found something called Instant Capture Page. This looks nifty, but before I plop down some money on it, I am wondering if anyone has tried it? I joined as an affiliate to look at the back office. Looks ok, but as I am somewhat technically challenged, I am wondering how difficult this is to do. If it works as advertised might be ok. Check it out, watch the video. Tell me what you think. It might annoy people.

Almost upgraded in another Revenue Share site today. Then I had a talk with myself. I already have some really good ones, no sense in getting too many. Hard to keep up with, ya know? I did join for free and will keep an eye on it. If it looks good, I will let you know. If you want to check it out and let ME know, it is called MoonDanceTraffic. The Admins are supposed to be some of the senior members over a TeamOrangeMoon. I think I recognized one of their names. Might be a good one.

What trips your trigger?

I'll tell you what trips mine, since you asked. These passive revenue share programs. I can't quite get over how well they are all doing. If you are not at least dabbling in them, you are really missing out. I can't tell you how much money I have spent on the FUN programs, only to see them dwindle away. True, they ARE more fun, BUT! Thus far, my passive programs keep hanging in there. AdVentures4U has been around almost a year now. Even if it slows down, I will still have done well as have countless others. Another favorite is PremiumAdsClub Revenue Share. I think these gals have it figured out and it just started. If you haven't yet taken the plunge on this type of internet business, I would strongly suggest it. You don't need to recruit although it helps, you see results on a weekly basis and it takes very little effort. All my favorites are listed on the side. Give them a look. These types of programs are terrific for every type of marketer, new and seasoned.

So, it was Monday. I'm glad it is over. Came home to find my dog with another spider trap stuck to her. This trap was well hidden too. That dang dog. It wasn't so easy to remove this time as it was on her side and pretty well embedded in her hair. Had a couple of spiders on it too. EEOOWW. What a way to end the day.


Diva

Call me CRAZY!

Ok, I went and joined one of those OTHER fun types of surfs. My id # is 11, so I figure I got in early enough. It is run by a known MMG supporter, so it might just be good. I know, I am crazy just like everybody else. Never said I wasn't. I like these little surfs, just wish they would last longer. It is called SurfOurColors. Kinda cute. They have a couple of plans to choose from. I choose the daily pay one. We'll see how it shakes out. Ought to be good for a time anyway.

Most of the forums are up now and I have taken the guest restriction off of mine. I hope things stay normal, whatever normal in this internet world is. I hear that the ASA forum has been down for several days. I am wondering what is up with that. They were having some internal problems before it went down. Maybe it is gone for good? Some of these marketing forums get pretty nasty at times. We've been really lucky at the Diva forum. Nice members, great mods. No one puts up with rudeness. Life's just too short, ya know?

Back to work.


Diva

Update!

Looks like some of the forums are slowly coming back to life. MMG was up for a bit, now down again. DTM is back up. Wonder what is going on? At least my little corner of the world remains safe.

Nothing new to report. I've being working ads all day. I'm doing a bit of experimenting to see which ads track the best and for what sort of business. If I learn anything earth shattering, I will share. I get a ton of requests from forum members wondering what to say in ads. As you may have noticed, I like to talk. So writing ads is not all that difficult for me. BUT, I have not done a real good job tracking which ones work well. Time to change that and share what I learn.

Back to work....


Diva

Attack on moneymaking forums!

Well heck. I made the rounds this morning to find many of the major marketing forums shut down. Firefox would not even let me in MMG, one of the larger ones, saying it was a known hack site. Sheesh. I visited several other of my favorites and found them missing completely. These hackers are something else. I mean they gotta be smart, right? I sure would not know how to hack a site. Crossing fingers that my forum will not get hit as well. We're a new forum compared to the others, so maybe we are not showing up on "hacker radar" yet. Not sure what it is they hope to gain from this sort of activity. Can anyone enlighten me?

I've been looking for a cheap little program to do some advertising experiments with. I found one that offers chocolate receipees as the product. Only $5.00. I'm going to push it out with my safelists and see what happens. It's perfect for what I want to try. I'll let you know how it goes. This is the link if you are curious and/or happen to love chocolate!

More later.....

Dogs and Spider traps do NOT mix!

Ok, this is what happened. I had to travel for business this week. As I have two very spoiled dogs, they got to go to their little doggie hotel. They LOVE going there. A little too much as they get pretty hysterical when I pull out the leashes. This day was no different. My girl dog was leaping and running around in dog circles. The boy dog was getting whipped into a frenzy as well. Sooo, in the midst of all the frantic display, Cagney manages to latch on to a spider trap I had laid out. You know.. the VERY sticky things that trap insects, spiders and such? This particular one is pretty large, about a foot long. As Cagney goes running out the front door I notice it stuck on her tail. She leaps into my SUV oblivious to the entire disaster. Once inside, she then steps on it as well. Now we have a real problem. Visualize a german shepherd with a footlong spider trap stuck on her tail and now her own foot stuck on it as well. Sigh. What a way to start the week.

No real business news to report. My passive programs are all still doing well. Haven't seen any new "fun" types that got me going. Probably just as well.


Chris

YIKES!

I got an email from a hacker who apparently hacked into the Gold Nuggest Invest site. Don't people have better things to do with their talent?? Crazy. If you are a member of GNI and worried, here is the response from the admin:

GNI Newsletter July 21, 2009

You may have received a malicious spam email in the last couple of hours, claiming to be from a team acting against spreading of various Ponzi schemes. They state that they used the vulnerability of mysql and broke into our database.

They are also reporting that they haven't found any trading activity with our script - what is by the way true, since the script is nothing more than a front end for our members and us as well, to manage and calculate your funds . Furthermore they are warning that our website will be closed in the near future, if not by us, by the senders group. And of course the obvious bla bla that you should withdraw you funds with us - and surprise surprise, they added three email addresses you may contact to receive information where to invest you money safely

This is the really important fact of this SPAM email - thats what it is!

It tells us that the only intention of the sender is to disturb our operation and to grab you intention to another investment program, which is for sure a PONZI scheme, since no serious entity is using the means of SPAM to get your intention.

GNI is operating for almost three years, is as you know a legally registered corporation and has proven over the time again and again that we are a serious and reliable second income opportunity.

There is absolutely no need to panic and nothing and NOBODY will shut us down, not as long as I am in charge of this operation. Since we went public last year we have been attacked, threatened and blackmailed on a weekly base. The last email we've received last Friday and the blackmailer tried to extort $20,000 from us. Most probably the email you have received is a result of this extortioner.

This is the downside of such an operation! Our only aim is and was to generate a second income for you, our trusted members and thus offering us an business opportunity to support our families as well. As you all know, we are working hard to achieve this goal and have always sorted out any obstacles along the way. And so we will do again - today as well as tomorrow!

We are currently investigating how this SPAMMER got access to our database and assure you that we will take all necessary steps to protect our members privacy and integrity, what unfortunately is not a simple task, in times where even government databases get compromised. We can however confirm that the database has not been altered.

I don't want to hide the fact that quite some of our esteemed members panicked and requested a withdrawal of their principal, as a result of this SPAM email, what is understandable, since you don't know what is going on. We have decided to sent all withdrawal requests back to our members account balances, giving you the opportunity to reconsider if you like to stay with us - or not, now where I got the chance to address this issue. If you still decide to withdraw your principle, please request it again and note that it might take up to 7 days to process principal withdrawal requests, depending on the availability of funds in our payment processor accounts. This is according to our TOS. We will process withdrawals again in the evening hours today (GMT timezone).

Finally let me express my warmest gratefulness to those member who expressed their support of GNI and are believing in our project. I have received many encouraging emails from trusted members. THANK YOU ALL!

With best regards,
Robert and TEAM

Happy Sunday!

Another beautiful day here! I really am going to try and play outside a bit. I promised the dogs a game of fetch, so I will try and pull myself away from the computer. Speaking of, I heard a cute saying the other day. It went something like this: "If your house is clean, the computer must have crashed". Boy is that ever the truth around MY house.

I try to make it a point to discover something new every day. Today's discovery was a site that makes Twitter buttons! I was pretty excited as I needed one. Need your own button? Click HERE. Not on Twitter yet? Tsk.

Oh, another new Revenue Share hit the streets. It's called YesICanShare. Only 15 members when I joined, so VERY fresh. Nice site. I haven't upgraded yet. At this rate, I will have to hire someone to do my surfing for me. ):


Diva

My Day so far....

Ok, so I did not get around to spending much time outside. I was busy experimenting. You may have noticed a new bar when you logged into the blog. If it annoys you, close it. Not sure if I will keep it or not, but it seems like a good way to bring attention to something special. If you like it, click on the leadsleap link and you can get one for your blog or website. It was very easy to do. I also thought about putting the bar on my forum, but I chickened out. Not sure if it would be a big hit there or not. When I tried it, my computer froze, so I deleted it. Could have been a coincidence, not sure. Let me know what you think about this bar thing, ok?

The other thing I did today was add a new passive income program to my portfolio. I think I am really going to like this one. One of the administrators is a member of my forum. Knowing who you are dealing with is always a good thing in my book. Her name is Kazzy and she is a nice gal. Works hard too. Check this new Revenue Share Ad program out HERE. I swear this is the last one I join. Surfing 4 Revenue Share sites is getting old. BUT, they are all making me money so I guess I should just suck it up and quit complaining. If you are not yet in one of these passive income programs, you ought to consider it. Each one I have listed is doing quite well for me and I think you would be pleased. Of course I can not predict the future, but if past performance is any indication, these will continue to do well.

No new fun programs to mention. I hear that Iggly has a new programmer. I sure hope they get it all figured out.


More later....


Diva

Yippee!!

I sure am glad it is the weekend. The weather here is glorious so I plan on spending some of today outside. Have tons to do online as well. My Twitter experiment is going a little too well. I have a bunch of catching up on followers to do. My next experiment with it will be to see how many of my followers click on this blog when I put the link in a post. That ought to be interesting!

Ok, I'll be back later. I'm off in search of interesting news.



Diva

Good news and bad news..

Well, remember how I tried some new things over the weekend? One of them was taking surveys. Guess what? The survey companies do not like me. Oh I got surveys sent to me, but I kept getting the message that I do not qualify for this or that particular survey after filling out a few snippets. There must be something wrong with me. ): BUT, I refuse to give up. I will fill these things out until I drop. Surely someone wants my opinion?? I guess it's too early to make a firm decision that these are not my cup of tea. But....

The Twitter app I mentioned? The one MaryAnne Myers developed....it is going much better for me. My mailbox is flooded with new followers. By the time I can actually follow someone back, it will take me days to catch up. I guess that's a good thing. Now I need to get some time to actually communicate on Twitter. I guess if people follow me they expect me to say something noteworthy now and again, eh?

One other tidbit. List Joe is offering a July special. If you are in need of a good safe list, this is one of the best. They are offering 2,000 credits to new members for the rest of the month. Jump on it and get some good free advertising! Click here to learn more: List Joe.

Life and Slippery Chickens

The following is a true story.

So I was walking through the grocery store, doing my weekly shopping. I spy the roast chickens. You know..the ones the stores cook and sell. Very yummy. It is a whole chicken and they are packaged in a bag. I pick one out and begin to carry it to my cart that was several feet away. Ok, so I must not have had a good grip on it because the chicken goes shooting out the open end of the bag. It flew out of my hands, landed on the floor and skidded another several feet. It left a glorious streak of grease in its wake. Everyone stares. Most people laugh. It was kinda embarrassing. Then what to do? Well, I picked the chicken, now no longer in very good shape, and stuff it back into the bag. I took it to the checkout stand and calmly explained that they had a grease problem on aisle 21.

So you are probably wondering why I am talking about my chicken incident. Well, it dawns on me that it sort of relates to life and even the business opportunities we talk about here. How? Well, sometimes in spite of our best efforts, things just slip away from us. We either lose our grip or things just don't work out as planned. I guess the key factor then is how we react to the chicken incidents in our life. Give up? Work smarter? Jump off a cliff? I hope we can talk here about ways to work smarter as I am not the giving up sort of gal. I try to talk about things that work for ME and hope that you will feel free to do the same. Trial and error is ok, but hearing about other folk's experience speeds up the learning curve. Got it?


Diva

Something Old turns New!

Another Monday is over! And it is beastly hot again. Am I complaining? Well, yes, I guess I am. But, there is a lot to celebrate as well. Life is good.

Some business news to talk about.
I was pleasantly surprised to see what AdGateWorld did with the revamping of their program. They are now following the AdVentures4U Revenue Sharing model which I do well with. I am excited to add them to my list of passive programs. Their site is beautiful! So far I am pretty impressed. If you want to check it out, click HERE. Still liking Gold Nuggest Invest as well. They are a new addition to my passive programs. Again, so far so good. I am more and more liking these passive ventures. If you pick the right ones, you can really earn the bucks! Just be careful. I am not talking the 12% daily surf programs. We all know how those end up. Do I occassionally join one? Yep. Why? Because I am crazy too.

Time to take the pups out to play. Be back later.

Diva

Trying New Things!

Are you open to trying new stuff? I believe if you are committed to making money online you need to be. Things change FAST in this business. There are constantly better ways developed to communicate and build your business. Change is hard for some folks, but it is a necessary evil. If you are one of those stuffy, non-flexible types, get over it or get left behind. (:

Ok, so here are some new things I tried over the weekend. Are you familiar with MaryAnne Myers? If not, you probably should be. She has a ton of safe list programs and I join every new one she puts out. So I get this email from her...she has put together a site to get Twitter followers called TweetersOnline. I thought it ironic since that was my topic of conversation yesterday. Anyway, I click on the link and sign up. It's pretty cute. I am getting some followers with it and I need them. I can't follow folks until my followers catch up. (yes, I got carried away following too many cool people). If you are trying Twitter for the first time, check it out HERE. It might help you get started. Fun.

My second new thing to try was survey sites. Do you know what those are? Basically you sign up, fill out a ton of information on your habits, lifestyle etc...You then may receive surveys from advertisers and earn $$ for filling them out. Now, I am not sure I will like doing surveys, but I thought I would check it out so I can speak about it intelligently. I have a good pal who does these religiously and makes good money. She gave me some of her very favorite survey sites to start with. I suffered through filling out my information, it was tedious to say the
least and I am not the most patient sort. She promises it will be worth it. I'll keep you informed on my progress.

It's still hot here. VERY hot. I am ready for fall. Wonder what the new week will bring......


Diva

Let's Talk Twitter!

So what about social networking sites? The only one I frequent on a regular basis is Twitter. If you are not familiar with it, you MIGHT just need to get out more. Here is a description from the web:
Twitter is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time.
How does it work? You can sign up for a free account and post short phrases on what you are doing at the moment. You can search for interesting people to follow. Once you are following them, you will receive their updates via your Twitter feed. You in turn, will receive followers. This happens easily and will very little effort on your part. For more info on what it is about, click HERE.

There is a ton of material out there about this particular platform as it is extremely popular for all types of people. Let's assume that I am talking to folks that mostly want to utilize this tool for network marketing. In most of the social networking sites, the key is to sell yourself before the product. Many folks will un-follow people on Twitter if all they do is advertise their programs. The key is to learn to communicate with your followers and build a relationship. Is this easy? Well...for some it appears to be. I personally find it difficult to keep my phrases to the allowed number of letters. But then I am a wordy sort of person, thus the reason I would rather blog. I watch the dialogue going alot, but do not often post. When I do post, I find that I get a ton of clicks if there is a link within my post. So, yea. Twitter folks are responsive and curious. As I am a curious sort also, it is a good fit for me.

People use Twitter for a variety of purposes. Some networkers have an account just to keep their "list" immediately informed on new items. Others use it primarily to promote their business, their blog and their websites. Still more use it to interact with people of common interest. You can find discussions on most any topic that interests you by doing a search. It's really a marvelous way to keep in touch with the world and I heartily recommend you try it out. Just remember to talk to people, not just constantly blast them with ads.

You can follow me on Twitter if you wish. I follow some pretty entertaining people which you can find by clicking on my followers. You follow them, they follow you back. That's how it works. Pretty nifty.

I'm getting ready to do a Twitter experiment. I'll let you know how it goes.


Diva

It's So Hot....

I saw two trees fighting over a dog. Yep, it's true. 102 degree temperatures will do that. My plan is to stay indoors and do some online work. There's plenty for me to catch up on, so might as well try to stay cool today.

I wanted to talk a bit more about advertising. In addition to the previously discussed platforms, there are a variety of programs that offer banner, text and solo ads. I have joined several of these, both for the matrix income and the advertising benefits. Do they work? Well, some better than others. The cool thing is you can usually see which of your ads are being clicked on. That gives you a quick idea of how effective they are. You can also be pretty sure that you are presenting to an audience open to new business opportunities. So you may get some signups from this, what you do with them is another topic for another post.

Another thing that determines my success rate with this advertising platform is the type of program I am advertising. Say for example I advertise my forum, I usually get excellent results. Of course that is free to join and is an advertising method within itself. If I advertise my passive programs, I get so-so results. If I advertise my FUN programs, I get a mixed bag. Some of it depends on market saturation with the program presented. All in all, these ad programs can be great. It takes some experimentation with your ad. If you are advertising a more serious program for example, I would not just slap a banner up. This would be the type of program you might want to explain in a solo or text ad. Tell folks how joining with YOU is the way to go. Got it?

More later...

TGIF

Boy am I glad it is Friday. It was a very long week.

So what's new? I've seen a variety of programs being promoted this week, but none really reached out and grabbed me. Right now I am sticking with what I got. It had better be good for me to venture out of my zone, ya know? I have enough to do without taking on every new thing that pops up. If you are reading this and are one of those FUN people, enjoy. I just don't have time. Not only that, I haven't seen many that work for any length of time. People are in a frenzy for about 1.5 weeks then the interest levels out. Not the programs fault, it is the mentality that we get with FUN folks. Yes, I have been guilty too, just sayin....

Ok, it's Friday. As such, I deserve a beer. I am off to get just that. I'll be back tomorrow.


Diva

More Bang for your Buck

I will make an assumption that if you are reading this blog, you are at least somewhat interested in making money online. So let's talk advertising. I mean, you DO know you have to advertise right? There is NO ONE going to find your program and YOU if you don't. So, where to start? Some people just throw their program opportunities in some traffic exchanges and surfs and think they have done their part. Huh? While that is certainly something I do, I have learned not to expect too much. Your splash page had really better be cool to attract someone's attention in an exchange/surf.

Uhoh. So where does that leave us? Well, there are safe lists. Some people are timid about using those because they have to write ads. But it's really sort of fun to experiment with what works and what does not. I use a variety of safelists. My favorite, ListJoe is on the sidebar. I need to pick a few more good ones to list. Again, even with safelists, you need to have a great title to get someone's attention. Practise, play. It's fun. Really.

Another great way to get your favorite program out there is forum posting. Unless you are quick, you are likely not going to be the one to first post it. But, you can add comments to the post, engage in conversation and develop a reputation. Put your favorite businesses in your signature and you will be suprised at the referrals that pop up. Oh, and don't forget putting your banner in forums. It can be very expensive to do that in larger forums, but I do get results from this sort of advertising.

More advertising venues to come later. If you have some thoughts on it, drop me a line.

It's Music Theater night. Kiss Me Kate. I hear it is good and I'm looking forward to it.

Happy Windshield Guys!

Wow did we ever get a storm here last night!! The hail was incredible. It looked like globs of ice on the streets, some reported to be baseball size. The dogs were not real thrilled with the noise....guess I wasn't either, truth be told. Had to turn the computer off, so I didn't get to work much. Did I miss anything?


More later.

The sign of a good business opportunity!

If you are like me, you get a ton of ads for various business opportunities in your email box. One item I find interesting of late is all the knock off program for AdVentures4U. One of the major established surf programs is even revamping to emulate their revenue share system. I recently joined one of those, Global Revenue Share. To me, this tells the tale of how successful Adventures has been and continues to be. What is the saying? Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Can the new knockoffs hold their own with Adventures? My advice, they had better do more than just copy the script. Much of the success here is the Admin himself. He is big on communicating and problem solving. He also strives to develop other income for the program. Gotta have that to keep it stable. Anyway, thought it was interesting.


More later....

The Deserted Island Theory?

I have this way of categorizing people I am acquainted with. Yeah, I know. Probably not real nice of me, but I do it. Surely most of you have some sort of system, right? Ok, so here it is.

Picture this: You are shipwrecked but manage to cling to a large piece of drift wood and make it to a deserted island. Over the course of time, others make their way to YOUR island. Out of that group, I generally find people to be a.) someone who needs to just stay on the other side of the island b.) someone who I wouldn't mind sharing the occasional seaweed sandwich with, mostly because it gets lonely on the island and c.) someone I would be willing to share my grass hut with. Make sense? Now you might not have this particular categorization model for interpersonal relationships, but I bet you have some sort of system.
Why am I talking about this? I think it is interesting to analyze what sort of person I relegate to these different categories. And what to do about them. After all, we share ONE island. Personally, my OSOTI guys are usually folks with a negative energy. I find that hard to tolerate. They find fault with everything and are usually bad for business. I can spot them a mile away and that's where they need to stay. The SEAWEED guys... they are normally fun folks, great in small doses and ok to work with. Now the HUT guys, these are people who are smart, motivated, positive, energizing and always interesting to be around. Terrific people to build a business with, talk to and all sorts of things one might do in a hut. Get my drift? All three types live on my island, but only certain ones will make it to my hut. The opportunity lies in recognizing those people and surrounding yourself with them.

No real business news to report. I did get paid by AdVentures4U. That was nice.

Anyone have anything interesting to share?

Diva

Reporting in!

Well, it was Monday all day long here, you know what I mean?

So why is everyone so quiet? I guess I need to say something outlandish to prompt some comments. I'll think on it.

I did come home to some good news! I received three new referrals in Ad-Ventures4U. Gosh, this is a nice business for me. I hope the new guys upgrade and make some bucks. This is just the easiest, nicest program I have seen. Sure hope it lasts a long time.
Speaking of Ad-Ventures, I recently joined a knock-off that runs off a similar script. It is called Global Revenue Share. So far, so good. Don't know if it will be as successful as AdVentures, hope so.

As for the FUN programs, I see my advertisements over at The Advertising Gold Mine are getting some hits. Couple of them visited the blog from my text ad and one joined my forum. I like what I see in terms of a responsive product. Probably worth the price for that alone.

No sign of the kitty today. I hope that's good news.

I'm off in quest of some tantalizing tidbits to post.


Diva

Cool Tool!!

Ha! I made a poem. Ok, I am easily amused. But I did find an interesting tool for bloggers. This site is a link manager. In English, what is does is show you where your visitors are coming from by their site name or domain. This from their site:

Referrer lists are a way to provide automatic links back to those who link to you. Webmasters know the main focus of hosting sites (other than writing of course) is to get traffic. What good is it if you are the only one reading your website? One of the best ways to get traffic is by linking to other sites, and getting reciprocal links (referrers) back from them. With E-referrer it's all done on in one fell swoop. Our script monitors visitors are they come to your website. If they've come in from a link on another site, it registers the referral and posts it back on the same page. This is very important because users will see their own referral while they're on the website! It's all done in real-time!

Take a peek at it if you are building a blog. I find it pretty darn nifty. Click HERE for the site link.

I think I am glad tomorrow is Monday. I need to go back to my offline job and get some rest.

Later....

A New Day! A New Week!

Ah, it's Sunday. The start of a new week. I wonder what adventures will come my way THIS week? There is always something new. Like this blog. I am still researching ways to make my blog a fun place to visit. Lot's of information out there on the subject. My eyes are tired and I could really use a cosmo. But... too much work to do. I'll be sure and post any helpful blogging sites I find!

I think it is time to advertise my blog. Maybe I can get some helpful hints from the readers. Hint, hint. Hey, remember I told you about The Advertising Gold Mine? Well, I just got word that my ads there are working! The forum just got a new member as a result of an ad placed there. I'm pretty excited about that. I think I will advertise my blog there now. Cool stuff!

Ok, time to work. Be back later.

Fireworks!

Ok, it's about time to go watch some fireworks. First I need to Twitter something. It's been awhile. I can't follow anyone as I hit some magic number. So I got depressed. I have scores of folks following me every day and I can't follow them back. Not sure I get that. Maybe I had better get over being sad about it and investigate. I've got to be careful leaving the house too. If that kitten is lurking...well, you know. I'll be stuck.

A beer is out there with my name on it. Later...


Have a terrific evening!

Happy 4th of July!!

To the U.S. readers, have a TERRIFIC Independence Day. Time for some barbecue, beer and fireworks. Good stuff.

A couple of things, the 7DayWealth program looks to be a scam. Or at least it is associated with a known scammer. I don't know too much about the guy, so won't say any more on the subject. Join at your own risk.

Everything else is going well. My passive programs keep paying and the FUN ones are not doing so bad either. Of course, all the fun ones are starting to look alike. Ever notice how these things go in cycles? 2x2 programs are all the rage now. Next month, who knows? I do have a NEW passive one to talk about later.

Guess what? The kitten was back today. A girl knocked on my door with him in her arms. She wanted to know if he was mine. Grrrr. I will NOT take this cutie pie, I WON'T.

Be back soon.

MEOW!

Today is a holiday from work for me, so I figured I would sleep in a bit. Wrong. I woke to hear a very loud mewing noise coming from outside. This of course alerted my two dogs as well. So, here I am, trying to sleep with two large dogs tromping all over me, trying to get to the window and check out the kitty noise. I gave up and figured to investigate it myself. I go outside and it appeared to be coming from my car. I looked inside, looked under it, nothing. Finally, this loud mouthed adorable kitten comes popping out from somewhere on top of one of the tires. Too cute. But now what? I walk the neighborhood with the cutie in my arms. He finally ran off when I put him down. I hope that means he recognized his home. I do NOT need a cat.

So, found something interesting on the net. It claims to be a passive income maker. I signed up for free and looked around. Still not sure how it works but people appear to be signing up in droves. Looks to be an Investment club with a matrix and it's called 7DayWealth. Anyone heard of it? Inquiring minds want to know.

More later.

Well Hell!

I'm back. The week has been busy. Now look...here is the dilemma. I had a really good time with two new programs. I cycled in both. They are FUN programs. Made me a few bucks. There was a ton of hype in the forums, lots of ads in my inbox. BUT, that being said, I made a couple of hundred in my "passive" programs. So, do I want to make money or do I want to have fun? I want both actually. Where does that leave me? Use the funds I make with my passive programs to fund the FUN ones? Maybe. Is that the smart thing to do?

Now, I mentioned the hotel manager in one of my posts. I gotta hand it to this guy. He knows how to keep people coming back to his business. What can WE, as internet marketers learn from HIM? Well, we make people feel welcome in our platforms, whatever they are. Forums, blogs, email advertising....Make someone feel special and they will keep coming back. I go out of my way to stay at his hotel. What can YOU do to make people go out of there way to come back to YOU? The hotel thing... simple. After a long day, I walk in and he offers me a beer, his dog is waiting to greet me. He also provides the cleanest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Soooo, product and the personal touch. What do YOU offer people? What do I offer people? Interesting question. Let's figure it out. Talk to me.

New stuff

Hey, hey...I figured out how to put a background on my blog. I'm pretty excited about that. There is a really cool blog site that offers free designs. For anyone interested in starting a blog but nervous about making it look nifty, here is the link to that blog:

Cutest blog on the block!

Changed the name of my blog too. Nothing like a work in progress.....

So, how was your week? Mine was busy with online and offline work. Joined a new program amidst all the other stuff going on. This one is called The Advertising Gold Mine. Pretty keen I think. You can send a solo ad out every 48 hours, put your favorite banner on the site and more. They also guarantee they will place members in your matrix. Not sure how that will pan out, but for the price, I was willing to find out. It is similar to SuccessQuik which I joined last week. Both these guys give me some great places to advertise. Success Quik is part of Revenue Magic. I am impressed with the way they run their programs and suspect it will be a long lasting source of advertising and hopefully a little cash. Fun stuff!

Be back later.
