Having a Thought-Provoking Day.....

A big shout out to all my friends here at Wealthy Affiliate! :) Well, I was having a serious talk with myself and my oldest son (Tyler -- the one with the glowing eyes on my bio pics) asked me what was wrong. He has always been the caretaker and sweet boy.... Well, I told him I just started a job which I love and pressuring myself to do the job, WA and family chores, etc. He said that usually didn't bother me. Ok, I gave up and told him the truth -- Until I see any earnings from WA, their

I am Still Around.... Just Not as Much.... :(

My new job is amazing and growing leaps and bounds. I have only been doing it 1 week, but it is rewarding and I get to work from home. The only problem is that I am not on WA quite as much as I want to be. I am trying to get to all your posts, but during the training I think it is a learning curve so it is a long day (every day!). I will try this weekend to like, respond, thank, etc. I do miss my friends but this will help me in the long run. It is marketing with customers and sales peopl

As Noted Previously in my Blog ~ Email Marketing is Key & Important!

Why should marketers keep on sending out emails to you, me and everyone? There's a reason your inbox seems to be repeatedly jam-packed: Email marketing works. Though, it seems companies are able to get better and smarter about ensuring that every message counts. It seems to be a postholiday tradition in many companies to return unwanted gifts and vowing to exercise more... However, you should be spending a few hours cleaning out your email inbox as well! If you're reasoning as to why marke

Your Path to Success May Take a Little Detour (here and there....)!

I am genuinely thankful to be alive. I think sometimes we all get a little wrapped up with the minor issues in life. A lot of times, we cannot even change what is happening if we wanted to. So, I believe in positive thinking and that if you truly are approaching things with an open mind and not pre-judging anyone or anything, events will occur in a more positive light as well as for the better. Really. I believe things DO happen for a reason. Here's a personal example: Ok, I got a really tough

You've Got Mail ....

Survey is In: Email is 40 Times MORE Effective than Facebook and Twitter ... (What?!) ... So, Fact or Fiction.... You've opened up that thing called "Outlook Express," "Yahoo Mail," "Gmail," (etc....) and you're writing an email? Seems like this is somewhat old school communication (at least compared to the current internet age we are in!). Surely, we all see email as ancient history when utilizing it as a form of marketing and communication for business. It is almost ranked right in ther

10 Tips ~ Getting Started in Social Media Marketing

Like it or not, you need social media more than it needs you so you can develop and protect your reputation ~ and grow your business.

Creative Inspiration ~ Don't Wait for It!

Can Working at Home Equate Itself to the Existence of Mermaids?

Mermaids are a sea-creature frequently talked of, supposed half human and half a fish. However, even though naturalists may doubt the reality of mermaids, we have testimony enough to establish it. Though, how to prove these testimonies to be authentic, we cannot take upon ourselves to say. After all, throughout history there is documentation that mer-people exist and were seen by captains and crew alike! Are we to believe, then, that all of these persons and crews were so foolish as to mist
