As you can see the tagline of this blog was changed some time ago. The reason was simple. While I do pass along internet marketing strategies, I also like to keep those dropping by informed on all sorts of topics – everyday life issues, health, family, parenting, politics, lifestyles and more.

With that said, here’s strategic advice for the unemployed that I highly recommend everyone in the United States read.

First unemployment extensions (both at the State and Federal levels) are iffy at best. However, you can (and do) still have a voice in the matter should you wish to express it. It is important that you read the above posted on the WorldNewsVine website. I will warn you ahead of time it is very confusing – not the post – but the subject matter itself and the strategy or strategies the various levels of government appear to be using to keep everyone guessing.

Unemployment is not a thing to shake off lightly. While many do still have their jobs, the question is for how long? Your life revolves around a steady income, and even though you may feel “safe” in your job, frankly you never, ever know if today is the day “the axe will fall.”

For the currently unemployed, understanding your entitlements is becoming more and more confusing. Whether this is a deliberate political move or not, I do not know. But you must ask yourself the question… do you know exactly when your financial assistance runs out? If you are guessing or perhaps relying on your State unemployment agency representative to know the answers, I really would not count on that. Most do not have a clue.

The rules appear to change almost from day to day. Make it a point – even if you are employed – to see what’s going on.

Yes, there is “liberalism” with this post, but knowing the writer personally I can tell you that:

1.   Checking with your own State is imperative – and make sure they are current on the “rules and laws”

2.   The writer of the above post DOES stay current on what’s what especially in regard to unemployment benefits.

Again, it’s confusing and (perhaps) alarming once you figure it all out. Yet it applies to all Americans – employed or not. Because you just never know…

Ugh Greymatter comes to the rescue again with this interesting post I found last night. Owen had updated some of his videos and the one that caught my eye, and turned out to be very entertaining was the one about “Twitter in Plain English.”

So thanks to Owen, you, too, can be entertained in the simplest of forms, this YouTube video:

Now for someone to come up with a way that tells me how to manage to Tweet all day and still get work done LOL!

Enjoy

Okay, today we started out the day in confusion…

Today was suppose to be THE launch date, so like the anxious to get started individuals we are, we arrived at the website at our appointed hour – only to find prelaunch has been pushed back a week (giving YOU plenty of time to still signup for free).

However, thankfully, we’ve got someone up above us keeping tabs on what’s what, and he’s super fast in answering any questions we might have – like where the heck is the upgrade button and/or email that was to arrive today LOL! The answer is…

Webprosperity has pushed back its launch date for an additional week giving you plenty of time to get signed up for free.

You Asked For It…Founders Launch Extended 7 Days
Posted – January 6th, 2009

I have been barraged with calls and e-mails for the last 24 hours by team members asking for an extension to the pre-launch. With the momentum of over 10,600 sign-ups yesterday it is evident the momentum is picking up with new team members.

The Founders Launch is extended till January 13, 2009-thats 7 days from today and that date is final!

Now make the next 7 days the biggest marketing days of your live.

Regards… David D’Arcangelo,

This is a great thing for anyone who hasn’t already signed up for the FREE prelaunch. We, however, were looking forward to getting the tools (at a heavy discount) today… but it will be worth the wait!

Once it does launch, Scott and I will be able to consolidate many of our 3rd party marketing tools into one – with what we average will be a 50% monthly savings for ourselves.

These are tools you have to use – not because some slick, useless sales letter talked you into it – but because you cannot run a business online without them. Plain and simple.

The price once it launches is very reasonable, and again while it remains in prelaunch, your sign up is still currently FREE.

With marketing must-have tools, and 67% to you off the top for Level 1 downline (and more as your downline grows), get signed up and hold your prelaunch position! And start spreading the news! Time is running out.
