Take a Survey - Get free e-book

A fellow Internet Marketer contacted me to let me know he is conducting a survey about "transactional trust" - how people build and determine trust between buyers and sellers through classified ads, auctions, social networking sites, etc.

Since surveys take time, he is giving away a free e-book about Google tips and tricks and an MP3 audio file about using craigslist as a publicity tool. ( $40 value between them)

Here's the link to the survey: click here

And to the blog post telling more about it: click here

Enjoy the free e-book. :)

I've got NOTHING to write about in my Newsletter this week!

Do you ever have that dilemma when you have NOTHING to say for your newsletter and just feel BLAH?

When that happens, there's a solution for you. Free reprint articles. You can use these articles on your website, blog, or even your newsletter. If you have a printed newsletter that you mail out, you can use them there, too. The only rule is that you don't change the article at all, and that you include the author's resource box AND link to their site.

Here are some places you can find free reprint articles -
www.LadyPens.com - Free reprint articles by women
www.The-Best-You.com - Health articles

And, one of my favorites - http://www.freeaffiliatearticles.com/directory/ -- and the bonus here is that ALL of these articles have affiliate programs tied with them. So, when you include that link, you can use YOUR affiliate link for their program. Articles that make you money when you publish them. Not a bad deal, eh?

Use as many as you need. That's what they're there for.
Talk soon,

Summertime -- Keep that Business Booming

I know it's hard to keep things going when the kids are home, and the gorgeous weather is calling. Heck, I head to the pool every chance I get.

However, summer is also the time when you can get ahead of the competition! While they're lazying away the days, you can get things in place to be light years ahead of them by fall.

How do you do this? One big part is planning and scheduling. I know... yuck. I hate it, too.

However, if you know you'll only have an hour each day to work your business, then think of the ONE thing you can do that will impact your bottom line.

If you're in Direct Sales that means PICKING UP THE PHONE. That's the best way to get those events booked and get your schedule rockin'.

If you're in Internet Marketing like me, then you may need to do some rotating.
Write and Submit Articles

Got an online store?
Do a little promoting of your site every day. Whether you write and submit articles, write a press release, or promote your affiliate program, get the word out.

Get things in place so your business is building, a little each day.

Yes, we have the flexibility to work our businesses when we want to, but sometimes that can bite us in the butt by allowing us the flexibility to NOT work our businesses as well.

Get going. I'm cheering you on!

I think Kelly McCausey has lost her mind!

My good friend, Kelly McCausey is a great business woman -- or so I thought. I'm thinking she's completely lost her mind, though.

She's announced that she is GIVING AWAY her magazine for WAHMs. I've been a writer AND a paying subsciber since September so I'm really excited that it'll be free.

Of course Kelly is a smart business woman, so I know this move will grow the WC, and its advertising revenue like wildfire.

YOU GO KELLY! Remember us little people when you're rich and famous!

Law of Achievement (Comes with bonuses AND helps charity)

I wanted to tell you again about this great offer. You know how much I love helping charities through my Pay it Forward Program. Here's a way to help a great cause and get bonuses in the process....

In early May I participated in an exciting book launch campaign with authors Kathleen Gage and Lori Giovannoni. The launch of the book was so successful The Law of Achievement became a best seller on Amazon.com with 24 hours.

How it worked is when someone bought the book from Amazon.com they were eligible to receive over 100 bonus gifts from experts around the world. I am excited to be one of those experts.

Because the campaign was so successful, Kathleen and Lori decided to make this offer again, but for a very limited time. Not only do you receive lots of gifts when you order the book, you are also helping raise funds for a program called The Reading Rally.

You receive all the bonus gifts when you order one or more books today. All you have to do is go to http://www.lawofachievement.com/special1.htm, order your book from Amazon.com and return to the special page to fill in your name, email and confirmation number at which time you will receive the special link.

These gifts include eBooks, teleconferences, special reports, MP3 files, and much, much more. Topics range from professional development, healthy living, successful sales strategies, Internet marketing courses to name just a few. You are eligible to get all of the bonuses when you order the book.

I hope you enjoy it.

I've been buying up a bunch of paperback books lately. It's hard to take an ebook to the park or the beach. And, nothing is more "summer" to me than reading a book in a lawnchair. Ahhh...

I'll definitely be grabbing a copy of this one...

In this book, you can learn how to successfully be a WAHM achieving YOUR personal and financial goals.

The regular price is $14.95, but your price is free - (you pay only shipping costs).

Have a great weekend!

Money Saving Ideas

Summer is oftentimes a hard period for a work at home mom. Not only does income tend to drop -- but you can't work as much because the kids are in school.

Well, when I'm not making as much money as I'd like to be, I'm working on ways to save the money I am making a little better.

This is a great time to point you to the Frugal Tips and Money Saving Ideas at ShowMomtheMoney.com and the New Uses for Your Food blog I created to help us all take advantage of our gardens and big sales where you can stock up on big savings.
