What a day!

Did you ever have it happen to you that things happen all at the same time? Well, I had a day like that.

First the dryer, which was already making funny noises for a while, started to squeal like a horde of pigs and refused to work anymore, and then the washer refused to do the work it was designed for and did not spin. No amount of twisting knobs or calm words would convince it to work. The good news, the repairman came right away, one of the benefits of living in little town I guess. However, when he tried the washer, the stupid thing WORKED. I could not believe it. Made me happy that the dryer at least was toast. So he fixed the dryer, but when I insisted that the washer was broken he gave me this very funny look and left, telling me that IF I have further problems to call him. Great!

Him gone I went back to do the laundry. Guess what? The *&%^^%$ laundry machine DID NOT work. I called the man, but this time I did not get lucky, he was busy. Hopefully he can come tomorrow or on Friday, or on Monday………

Not one to be easily discouraged I went to do some vacuuming. We had to fix the belt, no surprise here. With two big Alaskan Malamutes even the best vacuum cleaner dies very quickly. Because of the hair that keeps flying through the house like tumbleweeds. It is shedding season and the hair is everywhere, but I digress. My youngest daughter, the sweet, started the vacuum and drum roll please……. it worked.

For about a minute when suddenly big black smoke started to billow, no not wafted, but billowed out of every part of the machine. That was it, we unplugged the vacuum, opened the windows to get the stink out and I proceeded to work in our on-line business. There are after all lots of customer questions to be answered, orders to be placed and so on. Thinking the day could only get better. I was wrong. My brother, I love him dearly and he is a very intelligent man COULD NOT FIND the order button on our products site. We have one order button clearly visible under EVERY product. How can you NOT find it? Now with every other customer I would be super friendly and talk them through this very difficult task, but…he is my brother. You can talk frankly with your brother, right? Wrong! He was, let us say not very happy with what I called him and did not order, yet. He probably will tomorrow.

After that I decided not to do anything important anymore, have a nice cup of coffee, take a book and relax. In hindsight it seems all pretty funny and that is why I thought I share it with you.

Have FUN! Do not let circumstances get you down. When life hands you a lemon, make lemon juice. No idea who said that, but I like it.

Blogging and Pinging

Now I got the first post online. But there is more involved than just posting to your blog. You heard about pinging, haven’t you? Do you know how to ping? Where to ping? What to submit and where? And how often?

There are lots of ebooks out there in cyber space to get all the info you need. Don’t get overwhelmed. Do it step by step. Day by day. Here a bit, there a bit and you’ll get there.
I am reading right now the "Blog and Ping Tutorial" from (ups I closed the file)…..

My recommendation for today:
Sign up for a membership site like
NICHE HEALTH PRODUCT, you’ll have all the tools and training and coaching and information you need to build web sites, including the marketing and hosting, the content, graphics, keywords etc and great interaction with other members in the forum.

Another great tip is:
Stay organized. In the beginning I signed up for all affiliate programs it seemed, all of them. Got so many ebooks and tools and …then of course I couldn’t remember what is was and where it came from and how it was connected.

Where was I? Pinging. You need a yahoo account to because Yahoo allows you to subscribe to your own RSS feed. The you create a Yahoo Ping and an Technorati Ping. And so on. Without instructions your are lost.

Hi!

Just starting. Yes, I was very excited to start a blog. So I created one (blogger.com), then got distracted, forgot my log in word, password, everything, couldn’t find my blog anymore, shoot.

Then I heard, word press IS the one to use. So I created a word press blog. Easy to set up it said, someone said. OK, I am experienced in building web sites, so how hard can it be?!
It was hard for me. I couldn’t figure it out. It got all messed up. Help!
Some more weeks were gone. My third try (there is apparently no try, just DO!). Here it is. Just started. So far so good. What now.

John Reese says in his report, that he is suffering from entrepreneur’s ADD, he gets distracted and then he forgets. Me too. I have the same. So here is my new blog and I cannot get started at all. What do I write about?

I am a network marketer, Internet work marketer. I never intended to become a writer. Isn’t that exciting?! Just have to write the first piece. Just do it. Here it is. How I got started blogging , my blogging-journey.

My tip for today:
Don’t go the try-and-error route. You may of course do it but then don’t expect too much success in what you do. Do the short cut and learn from the experts who have gone before you. And that means that sometimes the free stuff is not enough. You got to pay for your education. With time, money, courage, persistence….
But first things first: Get started!

Here is my recommendation for all who are in network marketing , mlm’ers:
Read this Newsletter and get this book. You will have more than one Aha moments per page. Finally a way out, no more the dreaded cold calling leads who do not want to be called anyway and never remember that they filled out something in the first place. Finally a way to find your heavy hitters you are dreaming about and you know they are out somewhere.
