Just Venting
Friday, June 20th, 2008Why does it have to be so hard?
Have you ever had a wonderful plan … know exactly what you want to say/do … have it all figured out …
But have the most difficult time putting it into words on a webpage? UGH!
For the past week or so Val and I have been planning and scheming coming up with one of the [...]
A Slam Against Small Business Owners
“When you buy something at a small, lesser-known online store, there’s a decent chance they will sell your address to spammers.†and, “Sign up for a newsletter? Your address could certainly get sold.â€
Quoted by Neil J. Rubenking of PC Magazine.
This was quoted on another work at home mom blog, Lynette Chandler of Tech Based Marketing [...]
Chores and Allowances
Oh boy are we having a hard time finding a way to organize which child does what when and how much they can earn. Right now we don’t have anything “set in stone”. Each child basically know their individual chores and what is expected of them. However, these are very, very few. Other than those [...]
Friday, May 9th, 2008Should Everything Be Free?
Every once in awhile we see an unsubscription notice from our free newsletter saying something like “I don’t like the ads” or “I didn’t sign up to be sold to”. It’s not often we send out advertisements either, aside from a few links at the bottom of the newsletter.
I’ve had similar feedback from websites from [...]
Get Rid Of Those Free Sites!
I don’t think we’ve stressed this point nearly enough. If you are in business, you NEED a REAL site. Free sites have really got to go!
Let me explain where I’m coming from here.
I hadn’t ordered from this site, but got these items directly from the owner. (Not naming names here, nor am I even going [...]
If You Do It, Do It All the Way
Today I got to thinking about half finished projects and half thought out attempts at doing something special online. Two particular online friends of mine are guilty of this, and you know I am too. I’m not going to name names here, but did want to give you an idea of what I’m talking about.
First [...]
Am I to PRETEND I’m Perfect?
Aren’t I allowed to ask for help? Or am I to pretend I’m perfect?
Long story short, recently I asked for something that could be considered a sales page review.
I did this because – well, not to toot my own horn here but, I have what I truly feel is an excellent information product [...]
I’ve Been Sheltered in the WAHM Community
Yep, for about the last week, I’ve decided that I’ve not only been pretty sheltered being a part of the Work at Home Network/Community but I also intend to stay there!
From my other posts, most of you are aware that I’ve been involved with the BETA of Pay Per Play. Well, in doing so, I [...]
Advertising Publisher Vent
I got an email a few weeks ago from someone wanting to advertise on Idea Queen. I was actually pretty excited about this, because I already know what certain pages are worth and here was someone contacting ME to discuss pricing.
I think I’m a pretty fair person, but I also know what I can get [...]
This is NOT Spam!
I repeat … this is NOT Spam!
This ticks me off so badly that I even created a new category just for it! (We have a new Just Venting category here!)
Excuse me while I vent here a moment …
Ugh, there is nothing I hate more than a Spam Complaint from Aweber! [...]
