Taking the High Road As Our Test Continues

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

This morning, following along the lines of yesterday’s post about Qassia, I just could not bring myself to type in junk. Sorry, must be me, but what someone had for breakfast is not my cup of tea (no pun intended).

So, I chose the high road, writing off-the-cuff. In other words, my experiment this time around opted to choose the “Unpublished original intel” option, and give it a go right from their website.

Here’s what I ended up writing (remember it’s not rocket science LOL!): (more…)

Other Ways And Places To Make More Marketing Headway

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

This past week, Janet Giacoma, a Whole Hog Blogger and extensive article writer, wrote to ask how does one add their Twitter feed to EzineArticles.com. Apparently, she’s heard through the grapevine, and has demonstrated proof from those sources, that adding (updating) your EzineArticle profile to include your other social identities can have real benefits.

Well, it could be me, but it did take some doing to locate the steps. Actually I had to finally just hold my breath and head to the EzineArticle blog, do a search for “twitter” and voila! here’s the results (quoting a bit of that forum post):

“Here’s the 6 simple steps on how to quickly add your social media links: (more…)

Updates - Economics and Entrecard

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Thanks to MathTeacher’s comments in the previous post, I will stop dreaming of ways to spend all that money and get back to work LOL! Just also shows how much “we the people” would love a bit of help from our government versus the elite always getting a helping hand. The state of affairs worsens as the days pile up. While bailing out single entities (which by the way most of us ordinary people would have landed in jail for), once again the government overlooks the critical component in any scenario. We, the little people, are the backbone of any country. With no money to spend, it doesn’t really matter how many special interests they bail out does it. We end up footing a bill that no one can afford to foot.

While the Birk Economics thing sparked hope, unfortunately, the math doesn’t pan out. Even at the 700 billion dollar level, it’s still peanuts. Can’t anyone think up a way that would put everyone on equal footing, ensure their futures, and help in the here and now?!?!

Okay, coming down of the soapbox (but I think “we the people” had better start yelling and screaming louder!), on to the next bit of news for the day. (more…)

SocialSpark Test Continues With Great Results We Make More Money

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

A while back (June 16th to be exact) we did a post about SocialSpark, a program for bloggers and a way for you to make money online. In addition, of course, SocialSpark is set up to take on advertisers needing promotions.

That reiterated, at the time I opted for an “opportunity” that paid us $5.50. If you remember, it was a promo for SocialSpark itself, and something I was going to write about anyway.

How great was that :)

So, the other day I logged into SocialSpark again, and they had such a worthwhile cause. An opportunity to bring the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk to everyone’s attention. This organization is looking for volunteers to coordinate their Fall walks to raise awareness and money.

That opportunity was worth (more…)

How A Talented Individual Developed a Way To Send You Traffic For Free

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

This morning we’d like to bring to your attention a service website called Twitturly.

You’ll appreciate this even more when we tell you that other than having a Twitter account and posting (and twitting if you don’t blog), you do nothing, yet it still has the potential to send traffic to your website and/or blog - how great is that?!

According to our blog stats, Twitterurly has sent us (more…)

The Internet Has No Secrets (Traffic or Otherwise) - Or - When To Stop Buying Into Things And Just Do It

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

NOTE: Before you get going, the title of this post is “secrets” not “methods.” People come up with all sorts of new ways of doing things, and open all sorts of new social media areas, and we give credit where credit is do. But they aren’t “secrets.”

* * * * * * * * * *

For years, and I do mean years, we’ve been online explaining, demonstrating, and, in many instances, doing the hands-on work to help you be successful online.

And, throughout these years, we - like you - have been (and continue to be) inundated with special reports, new software, e-books, videos and more all ranting and raving how this is “the one.”

Rarely is anything “new.”

Let me explain by example before I continue:

Ten years ago, a script was developed that (more…)

Techtreak is hosting a blogcarnival with some great incentives just for following a few quick steps.

First, let me tell you what you could win by participating: (more…)

Jumping Back to Jumptags For A Real Boost in Backlinking

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Four prior posts, to date, have discussed the advantages of using Jumptags as a social book marking tool for your website and/or blog.

These posts have included proof that just taking a few seconds of your time each time you make a post - or even add a new page to your website - to log into your Jumptags account means multiple links in the search engines extremely quickly (we’ve even got pictures).

So why am I returning today to talk once again about the beauty of back link building with this social media strategy?

First, because (more…)

Fired Up Becomes Fireworks With SocialSpark

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Remember the other day when I did a big writeup about SocialSpark? I was going to do it anyway, but found just the fact of writing about SocialSpark could earn our blog $5.50 (and a huge bonus if it was chosen as the “best” post somewhere down the line).

Well yesterday the CustomerLove team approved that very post and in 30 days we’ll be receiving the $5.50 via paypal!

How easy was that?! (LOL, keep reading to find out)

Here was their process so you’ll have a feel for what’s what (including a screenshot of our SocialSpark inbox):

Fire Up Your Online Earning and Advertising Potential With SocialSpark!

Monday, June 16th, 2008

(If there had been room in the title I would have also added “and make money or advertise” with this great Alexa Traffic Rank 8,567 service.)

A while back we signed up for SocialSpark one of those rare social media marketing websites that give both bloggers and advertisers a central location to either make money (bloggers) or find lots of willing individuals to write about your program (advertisers). Of course, that’s not withstanding that once written about, the advertiser, too, stands to see a potential huge increase in sales :)

So what exactly is SocialSpark and why should you join?

For openers, (more…)
