I haven't been getting any use out of it lately, I feel it's no longer benefitting me. I've been here for a year and haven't made a dime, no referrals or anything, and hardly making anything through affiliate marketing.

Oh. I was under the impression you were doing well. Im sorry to hear that. You are not to far from me .i don't know if I told you that before. Pottstown. I know I just read where you were from not too long ago but it has slipped my memory at this time. Im doung so much right now. Well, I hope you don't give up on your sites. Ut be careful with that other subject I PM'd you about. OK? IWere you from Levittown? I'll try to check in on your sites from time to time to see how you are doing. Take care and it was nice meeting you......Donna

Hi Linda

Maybe I should have a profile pic without my helmet on LOL! I thought my hair showed enough to show I'm female.

Not so, just my own perception. I didn't look close enough LOL! it was only when I came to you profile and seen the bigger picture. The small picture that goes to comments is all I seen, and Kasage00 didn't help (male or female?)
WOW! I really like the picture with the river in the Back ground. Know that really shows you off.

always a better way
Linda

thanks, and yes I used some of my own travel experienced in connection with the book. There is one part where I mention the Kaethe Wohlfahrt shop and Christmas Village. I saw the real thing in Germany a few times, and the one in Philadelphia.

What kind of souviners from Germany are you selling? If I saw them, I bet I can recognize them.

Since "the great escape" from my horrible office job, I am working on traveling more. I have seen Europe many times, and now I am working on Mexico and central/south america next. My trip to Mexico is coming up on October, and next winter, if I can swing it is live in Ecuador for a month and write an article to International Living.

I've had that love for travel for a long time but my travels were very limited due to my office job.

It's becoming quite a change from being imprisoned in an office cube for 13 years, and now becoming a "digital nomad". In my mind I still feel that need to request time off from work (there was one year when I took a vacation, and two weeks before the trip the boss asks me "is there any way you can cancel?" oh god..but of course I said no) . I still have visions of a boss watching over me. Those will go away over time.

You you can check out my travel blog (kbauerstravels.com) any time and leave a comment. I have a few trips this summer which I will add to the blog. I would like to do a guest post on your blog, too.

Wow - exciting stuff Karin...

Our items are a mix of traditional German items (not Christmas) like mugs, shot glasses, suspenders, traditional German 'gaudi' (party) hats, stickers, and t-shirts, party-gag items, etc.

We also have the Bavarian porcelain decorative dish sets and other items that are special to that region of Germany. We are also adding in a couple of other very popular niche items (think what is the most popular drink in Germany)...

Our warehouse is located outside of Munich, so it was natural for us that we add items made by locals in the area...There are a ton of other interesting items from other parts of Germany that we will add over time...

Another feature that we are adding to that store is cross-selling between store sites. Initially, the 'cross sell' will be items from our own stores (i.e. we are completing a Thai focused coconut shop as I write this)...

Over time, the intent is to bring in more partner stores and feature their items as well...We will all grow the business helping each other...I am building a membership site that will help with this...

It will have aspects of what Wealthy Affiliate has, i.e. training and the forum aspects, but also add in drop shipping and affiliate support features...

This will be a free membership site, and the cost to members would come in from some paid training that will be offered, plus partnership with us, paying for affiliate sales, marketing, etc...

We are quite far into development of the site and it is coming together nicely...A lot of work, but the intent is to have a useful site that, like Wealthy Affiliate, will help people get started with online business - in this case, e-commerce, at a reasonable cost...

Going back to the store for German items, we are also doing blog posts about travel in general and of course specific to Germany...Early stages, but the domain itself is 11 years old, and it is already building in authority...

This is why a guest blog post from you would help both of us...Getting some additional views for your book (we would add a feature box with an image and short blurb on the book) can't hurt...

The intent is to keep growing these stores ourselves, but also help others get started selling regional specific items that are in demand by buyers...

Our system will help partners get up quickly stood up with their e-commerce business and making money, plus will help them managing the business easier (there are other elements/modules such as bookkeeping, warehouse management, etc.)

Organic traffic is important to us and this is where the blogs come in...There is a big interest in travel and bloggers who tell the tale of their travels (along with images, video, etc.) in an entertaining manner...

Ooof, sorry so long, but if you really are interested, we would gladly give you the venue and latitude to write a blog for us...If possible something related to your German travel....

Also if you want to write up a short blurb on the book, include an image of the book, and of course an image of yourself, we can put this together...

I look forward to it!

Cheers!
Dave : )

Hi Pernilla

Thanks for the follow, and I am following back! It is nice to meet you too!

Thanks, and I wish you the nest in your journeys too :)

Happy you are following me too!
See you around in the community!
:-)

you just add water, and that's it! generally, it's 8 oz. of water for every 1 lb. of mix.

Yes, my baked goods are made at home. I do not sell any. Because this product comes in a large size, it is often used in bakeries and restaurants.

No special pan, just the ones you have in your kitchen :)

Okay. So can I use a loaf pan or a 14 x 9 x rectangular pan? And have you tried it before and is it any good?

I have made the chocolate one and it was pretty good. i haven't tried the pound cake. You could use either size pan.

Okay. I'll try the pound cake, don't really care for chocolate cake as much.

I received your order. They will be shipped directly from the vendor so they may ship it in the next day or two

Hi Collin
Welcome to WA! I enjoy writing about traveling. I just hope to be able to do more so I have more to write about.

I will be interested in hearing about your upcoming travel website.

I certainly will, my task is to get my existing website going, as it is my training guide. When its through I will start planning, I have a few ideas but they are floating around in my head space.

Hi Jerry
Thanks for the follow. I will return the favor. You can see,all my social media links on my profile. I will check yours out soon.

Hi El-Lider
Thank you for your message. Yes I am an animal lover. My nice for my first blog is traveling on horseback, where I tell about my many horseback riding adventures. My other site is about how I help feral cats. I hope to be in the top100 in the next few weeks. I may not have much time to spend in WA over Christmas weekend because I will be in Atlanta, Georgia to visit my family. It will be nice and warm down there :) Merry Christmas to you too!

Yes I can, you can send me a private message, what you are selling and I share some tips.

Thanks so much I'll pm you now.

Yes Kyle, you can be sure I will :)
