Today I’m going to reference you to a new forum that’s slow to get off the ground, but with enough interest who knows. It’s called Blogovela and while I just created an account there, and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t, do be advised that the activity on it at the moment is a tad on the slow side.

And speaking of slow, the economy isn’t getting any better (as we’re all aware) while the Republicans (sorry it’s true) play their frigging games – as the rest of us hang my our fingertips hoping the layoffs and business shutdowns and rising unemployment stop soon.

So with that in mind, I’d like to reference you to the newest post (as of this moment) over at our Solo Ad Explosion blog. It’s all about video games, cheats, consoles, etc., and also you’ll find information on how to get paid to play video games.

Steve has done such a great job explaining it all that I’ll let you take the quick trip over to discover if making money playing video games is up your alley or not. Even if it’s not for you personally, maybe (especially during these tough economic times) you’ve got kids that can help bring in a few bucks doing what they love to do anyway.

Definitely worth looking into… And while you’re at it, write to your Representatives, Senators, and The Whitehouse itself and tell them to get the show on the road for heaven’s sake!

With the Super Bowl behind us (those who follow the game, if even for just the commercials), I’ve got to say first that the commercials were a let down this year. The only one I thought was worth the money spent was the commercial for eTrade. But that’s just my opinion.

In the meantime, after your (probable) eat fest yesterday, you might be looking in the mirror thinking, “Holy cow! I look like a ____!” (Fill in the blank yourself)

So today’s post isn’t about marketing or social media strategies, instead I’d like to reference you to a great place to begin to get a handle on your health – after all it’s a new year and this year could be that new you look you’re longing for!

I use the weight loss formula on this page.

On the 30th of October (this past year), I decided it was time to turn back the clock and look and feel more than just a little bit better. Working online can (and most likely does) mean sitting on one’s backside for hours on end (no pun intended).

What I did was a tad different. I did of course figure out what my height, age, and current weight was using the formula above. I also allotted 30% extra (slightly active, I pace a lot when I’m on the phone) which also accounts for just breathing and getting through the day.

However, my next step was to figure what I wanted to weight, calculate the formula for that, and eat as if I already weighted my targeted goal!

I gave myself until the end of February (birthday time) to hit my “target” weight. And guess what… last week, yes even before January was over, I was there (which means… I’m 19 lbs. lighter already)!

Actually though, I have an “ideal” weight in mind – which is oh another 5 (who knows maybe 10) lbs. And with all of February ahead of me, and following the formula above, I’m positive I will hit that ideal weight.

Turns out losing weight and getting healthy so you’re better able to conduct business online actually do go well together

Enjoy!

I’ve known Denise Hall for years. To this day, she works with me over at My Wizard Ads.

Denise’s story is like many online. She started with nothing, built slowly, found her true calling, and is off and running. To this day, she works her buns off.

That’s also why today, while reading her current issue of Home Business On A Budget, the following struck me as something we all need to keep in mind. (more…)

Like many around the country, we’re dealing with some unemployment issues ourselves. Not directly online, but within our own family. With that in mind, and if you’re facing the battle of trying to make headway to secure a new position, upgrade a current position, or even sell your business ideas online to someone else (see below for further clarification), here’s information that may help you turn mountains into mole hills: (more…)
