RACHEL MAY MEMORIAL FUND

Yesterday we lost our daughter in the ER. She was young and unemployed and uninsured and now we have to deal with her medical bills and funeral costs. Having been laid off numerous times over the years and working a part time job with no benefits or savings I have no funds to cover the costs of this tragedy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to donate please go to

set up your blog to automatically share if you can #marketing

one good thing about blogger is it automatically shares posts on google plus which is good because i dont always have time to share with all the networks personally. with google plus watching my back i know that my posts will at least get shared and seen once. and as a writer every view is a good view.

pick a logo or image and stick with it.

just like any business, a blog needs a logo for familiarity. your blog is a business even if it does not make any money it should be marketed like one. a familiar image on the blog helps readers associate it with your blog or site and familiarity brings fondness.
any time you see the playboy bunny you immediately think of hot naked coeds... or maybe that is just me...
regardless pick an image to represent your site and keep it on it... #marketingtips

adios chitika. no future with you. #marketing

money made with CHITIKA zip.
reason i fired chitika. number 1
chitika apparently wont work with free sites and since it does not pay me anything i certainly cannot afford to waste my time and ad space on it. good news for other advertisers who do pay tho because more ad space available.
you know if i had made even a little money with them i would have kept them around... oh well.
i know they got hits from my ads as long as they were up but they did not share so they are not up any more.

add a blog list to your weblog to keep readers coming back for more. #marketing

speaking of blogs, dont forget to add a blog list to your layout so you and your readers can get instant updates for favorite blogs and related blogs in your niche. this will allow you and them to stay in the loop and keep an eye on the market at a glance. also, it gives your readers something new to check out when they have read your latest rant. and that makes your blog even more valuable to them as a source of information so... returning reader. yay. #returntoreadmore #samebattimesamebatchannel

marketing on social media

social marketer. that's my new title here in the old home office. as a web publisher it is very important to reach new readers and keep in touch with current followers and social networking is a key tool for social marketing.
say for example i write a new post on network marketing. if no one knows it exists in the forest of things to read when i drop it does it make a sound?
after posting my new article i can follow it up by tweeting it or facebooking it out to my followers and add some hashtags to attract new readers who might be interested in reading it. i can also re blog it on thursday to another blog for throwback thursday and reach more readers.
social network marketing is easy and free and not half as complicated as those feed readers that take so long to set up and give you a major headache or body ache trying to figure out.
almost anyone can use social nets to market their wares too. whether it be a blogger or an artist or a designer who just made a new tee shirt on zazzle. or a crafter who just posted a new item on etsy or a seller on ebay who just sat up a new auction and wants to find buyers. and the best thing about social network marketing of news and products is its basically free to use and that is a pretty good reason to start your marketing plan with it. call it plan A and after you get the word out there, there's always those expensive alternatives for plan B...
now i guess that about covers the topic time to publish and tweet it and move on to the next project on my to do list. and it did not cost a dime.
ps dont forget the keywords...
