SECRETS OF GETTING FREE ADVERTISING

                    SECRETS OF GETTING FREE ADVERTISING

The opportunities for getting free advertising for your product
or services are limited only by your own imagination and
energies. There are so many proven ways of promoting your
objectives without cost that it literally boggles the mind just
to think of listing them.

One way is to write an article relative to your particular
expertise and submit it to all the publications and media dealing
in the dissemination of related information. In other words,
become your own publicity and sales promotions writer. Get the
word out; establish yourself as an expert in your field, and
"tag-along" everything you write with a quick note listing your
address for a catalog, dealership opportunity, or more
information.

New Templates

 I have No Idea what in the world or why but every blog of mine had some sort of malware or something, all of a sudden when I would load the blog I saw weird websites loading, I am not going to even name them because like a dummy I went to one and my computer was really hurting.


I eventually lost all my adsence on each site, the site was slowly crawling and when I visited this site today it asked me to load something.  I deleted my template and am starting from scratch!


No that is not me in the pix, cannot figure out how to add my own picture.

Thank you for stopping by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 Ways Twitter Can Help Jumpstart Your Traffic!

 4 Ways Twitter Can Help Jumpstart Your Traffic!
Before you set up your account, let's go over a few of the ways that you can use Twitter.


1. Getting traffic to your Squidoo Lenses, websites and blog posts - With a simple post to Twitter, you can have lots of readers come to your lens, blog or site. Even though feeds do the same thing, you can often find new readers on Twitter or remind current readers to re-visit your lens, blog or site.

2. Connecting with your readership - When you write, you're speaking to your readership from a distance. You write your lens or post, edit it and then post it. During all of these activities, you're removed from your audience. But when you use Twitter to communicate, it becomes a conversation. You can show more of your personality to your followers and truly communicate with them on a different level. This can get them more interested in you and your writings which will build more traffic over time.

3. Building your brand - In order to stand out amidst the large amount of Twitter accounts online, you need to develop a persona for people to connect to and identify with. You can further your branding by using a Twitter account. You need to figure out what makes you unique in your niche and then extend these differences between you and others in you Twitter posts. Decide what your persona or approach is and then make sure your Twitter posts reflect that.

4. Researching - With Twitter, your target market can be at your be at your fingertips. You can spy on their interests, ask them about their needs and automatically get ideas for your blog posts.

ENJOY ALL KINDS OF VACATIONS

                      ENJOY ALL KINDS OF VACATIONS


You can travel almost anywhere in the world and stay free in
private homes or luxury hotels. How? By one or both of the
following methods:

METHOD 1:

Join a Cooperative Exchange and Travel Club (listed below) for a
small annual membership fee. As a Travel Club Member you will
receive a list of as many as 5,000 names and addresses from all
over the U.S. and throughout the world. Only members receive the
list. As a member, you offer your home as a stopping point for
compatible people when it is convenient for you. In return, you
stay for free in any of the over 5,000 homes throughout the
world!  Most of the people who belong to thee clubs are
interesting, adventurous and fun-loving.

On your next vacation enjoy the personal contact of staying in
someone else's home. See the world on a shoestring and enjoy
yourself. Here are some of the other benefits of a Travel Club
Membership:

      * Develop a pen-pal relationship

      * Find people with similar hobbies

      * Exchange home ( instead of staying with members)

      * Drop-in relationships (if you prefer not to stay with    
        members, you might just visit with them to find out what
        is going on in their area, etc..An initial contact when  
        visiting a distant place will make for a more enjoyable  
        vacation).

Write to the following Clubs for complete details:

Traveler Directory
537 Church Street, Box 1547
Lancaster, PA 17604

Vacation Exchange Club
119 Fifth Ave
New York, NY

Holiday Home Exchange
P.O Box 555
Grants, NM 87020

METHOD 2
     
Become an "Outside Agent" for a travel agency, a tour guide or
co-ordinator for group tours.

Go to a large travel agency and contract with them for a free
trip (All expenses paid!) in exchange for you securing 20 to 30
people to go with you on a group tour.

How to secure others to travel with you? Primarily through your
personal, social and business contacts. Think of a place that
contacts might like to visit. You can get a special discount
group rate for them. They will save on their trip and you will
travel for free.

METHOD 3

Still again,it is possible to appoint yourself as President of
your non-profit organization and have the organization supply you
with a free vehicle will all expenses paid. If  your organization
is a church related corporation, you could tour Europe for free,
to visit cathedrals, as an example. A church can raise money by
"selling" charters, degress and other cheap papers for hundreds
of dollars.

Amish Fireplace



This time of year I relax in front of my fireplace. Glass of wine in hand with the hum of the wind, I love it. Sometimes while sitting in my office I think, how I would love a Amish fireplace. Have you seen them? They have wheels. So cool if your in the office you can roll the fireplace right into another room. Stay comfy and cozy!!

These fireplace will heat a 400 sq ft room, which is about 20 x 20, my office would be heated in no time! All you do is plug them in, how is can it be? These fireplaces range in price around $300 and up, but the best part is they really look like a fireplace, if your decor is dark wood, light wood, etc you can find a model that fits your decor.

So you bought a new home or your pre existing home needs some major updating and you are clueless when it comes to design. Searching in your area on the net you may run across free home designer consultation. What that means is they will actually come into your house build you a complete floor plan with furniture suggestions that fits your type of decorating style.

I like this idea, someone sitting with me and discussing what sort of income I am looking at spending and what are my favorite color combination's. If your looking at sprucing the house up for the holidays this is my recommendation.

Health Plans

If your searching for insurance plans for yourself, your small company or family you need to get quotes to find the best deals in your area. Blue Advantage is North Carolina's health plan that features Blue Cross and Blue Shield's plan.

Compare plans, get a quote and find out what products your service offers. Look for a company that offers you deals for partnering with them. Ask Questions. How does prescription drug coverage work? What are the eligibility requirements? Maternity? What guidelines determine a routine physical exam? All of these are important questions to ask your provider.

Online Back Up

 A new website I am developing is 2 make a website, one very key area is going to be how to not get hacked and lose your work that you have been working on for years.  online backup is key in today's daily online escapades. Just the other day I was hacked and I have yet to figure out how they got into my online accounts. I was able to get the virus off of my hard drive but with an IT background I knew how to trick the virus and freeze it, thus running my malware!

Using an online backup ensures your files, jpgs, etc are protected in case you are attacked with a virus or your hard drive blows. Take it from me, the girl who lost years of photos sitting on my hard drive, it is never to soon to look into online backups!

Orlando Vacations

Because the holidays are approaching, yes, I start thinking holidays once Halloween is upon us. I was watching a local program that was talking about the awesome deals that are available for traveling this holiday season! I favor Florida. When my kids were younger we were big on orlando vacations. Orlando has everything to offer if your young or old, single or towing a bunch of kids around.

Downtown Orlando has a ton of restaurants and venues to keep you busy for hours. Orlando has nearly 100 theme parks, this is truly what makes this vacation so fun, you can go back again and again to a new theme park.  Go online to find discount tickets too, I always scored these for my family.

Ski Vacations

Aspen Ski Vacations

Aspen Mountain has long been known as the playpen
of the rich and famous – and it is. But it is also a
great place to take a family ski vacation. Christmas
in Aspen is especially wonderful! Aspen Mountain
rises above the town of Aspen, with a top elevation
of 11215 feet and a vertical drop of 3269 feet. There
are 76 trails suitable for beginners, intermediates,
and experts, accessible by eight lifts, including
seven chair lifts and one cable car line.

While Aspen has much to offer skiers, as well as
those who enjoy the night life in a ski town, you
should expect lots of crowds and lift lines on the
slopes. Again, this is the playpen of the rich and
famous, and many people choose this ski vacation
spot simply for that reason – as well as for the great
runs and nightlife.

There are numerous places to stay in and around
Aspen, with more than 100 restaurants to choose
from as well. Ski instructions and equipment rental
are abundant in the area, and snowboarders are
welcome.
