Free Traffic with Web 2.0 Strategies

Jimmy Davis and Dennis Karganilla of the MLM Goldmine were presenters at the CCPro marketing event last weekend. It is so refreshing to see a person’s passion come out in their work. They even shook it up with Dennis, aka "DK", performing a break dance at the end of their training!

These guys deliver, by providing practical strategies that could be put into motion immediately. They’re both fans of Mike Dillard’s also, so the theme of Attraction Marketing was continued. They call it "MyStory " marketing, which is based on providing copy to draw people to you and getting them to feel your emotions.

Their bragging rights include generating more than 1 million leads using FREE marketing. Here are some of the sites they recommend using continue reading »

4 Tips to Teaching Kids How to Manage Money

October 22nd, 2008 -- Posted in Misc Ranting, Vacations and Fun, Wealth Strategies | 1 Comment »

I grew up in a pretty conservative household when it came to saving and spending money. Guess that’s why I started teaching my daughter, Mikaila, when she was young (& the other kids in my life) to be responsible with their money early on. By the way, she’s the baby and just turned 21 today! Happy Birthday kiddo!

I believe in giving children an allowance for two reasons. One, it instills in them a sense of pride completing a responsibility and receiving something tangible for their efforts. But secondarily (& most important I think), is to teach them how to manage money early on.

I gave the kids 4 "piggy banks" when they were about 4 years old and explained continue reading »

Creating Videos for YouTube

July 25th, 2008 -- Posted in Book Review, Carbon Copy Pro, Home Business Ideas, Vacations and Fun, Wealth Strategies | 1 Comment »

If you have previewed any of the videos I have completed and posted on YouTube , you know one of them addresses my difficulties with technology and the intuitiveness of it (or lack of)! I found this great little device that makes it easy though….. even for me! It’s called a Flip Ultra Camera – here are some of it’s benefits:

  • It’s lightweight and fits into your pocket
  • It uses a couple of batteries so never needs charging (60 minute play time)
  • The speaker and photo quality is decent (not professional quality, but good)
  • Built into the camera is a program which converts videos into the correct format for uploading to YouTube (my favorite feature!)
  • It connects directly to your computer with the "Flip" of a switch (I would recommend the accessory cable though – it will make it easier)

PS – To make it easy for you to order…. you can use the info below or there is an Amazon icon / box to your left if you’d like something else. You can enter the product name and order it from there!

Please leave a comment about what you use for creating videos – love to hear from you :-)

Until next time, J.

Since When is a Business Interruption Welcomed?

July 21st, 2008 -- Posted in Another Welcomed Weekend, Home Business Ideas | No Comments »

This weekend was an exception…. the business interruption I experienced was perfect! Two of our four kids were home, as well as our two grandkids. Mikaila and her boyfriend came up from San Luis Obispo, and Jesse, Avery & Gannon came out from Texas. We spent time catching up, watching the birds (Barn Swallows) who are nesting on our front porch, decorating plates, hairstyling mohawks, and eating someores around a campfire. Not enough words to describe the welcomed break….. but here’s a few photos!
