Send your affiliates to school...

...if you have any, if your are one, or if you've ever thought about being in business on the internet and don't have a clue how to start. Yes, I get excited about stuff, but this one is really, really exciting. FINALLY, a mentoring program that isn't going to cost $100+ per month to be in, that doesn't require a major investment to get into, that actually suggests programs for you and then walks you though each step to develop your plan for it, and has all these lovely guides and interviews and case studies and a magazine and all. Would it be worth one measley dollar to spend two weeks exploring an environment like that? To go into the forums and find people that know less than you and more than you and about the same but different from you? Well, get ready to roll out the red carpet---drum roll, please...

I have spent the last four days having a blast in the forums, studying the guides for the step-by-step information on marketing, asking questions and giving answers. Realized I know more than I realized and by offering my experiences to others, I've become far more confident. Tomorrow, I'm going to learn the part about autoresponders. An issue that has been a true mystery. Yeah, I've read the books, listened to the audios, but never had anyone take the time to put it into one-step-at-a-time-I-know-you-don't-know-this-yet format. These guys do. And, it's not written in such a way that you feel stupid, either. Too many of the "gurus" forget that regular folks can't afford some computer techie to do all the programming they need and don't necessarily know how to do it themselves. Give it a look.

Well, just over a week ago, I got fired. Again, I think it's going to be one of those best-things-for-me things. NOW, I have the time to study and the brain power to deal with it. I can practice graphic design and design websites. I even added another domain name to my "holdings:" www.buildupyourbiz2.com teehee, I haven't even told my family, yet. This is one of those fait accompli things I think I need to do. Once things are up and rolling, I can casually mention it to them. lol Ought to freak them out something fierce.

Well, I've decided that eDragon Marketing needs a major revamp. I'm going to pull the Spirit of page, the Screen savers page and the World Internet Summit page. Then, I'm going to take eDragon in a more "inspirational" direction. The ezine, "Fly Beyond," has been doing really well, and I think I want the pages to reflect that a bit more. Eventually, all the others will have their own domains.

I have two articles to proof and put on Ezine Articles and see if they get picked up. One is a response to another person's article about how the Bible is wrong because it says that some of the people with Jesus at the time would not taste of death until they saw the kingdom of God. He has claimed that all the "signs" listed in the Bible have come to pass and it STILL hasn't been the end times. The other is my rebuttal to the whole Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays idiocy that's going on. For one thing, there are many holidays that fall around this same time of year, so it is more politic to use Happy Holidays if you don't know the person you're offering it to well. Heck, they might be of the wiccan or druidic persuasion, you don't know. For another thing, I think it would be of more benefit for the folks that are really pushing this to work on keeping God and the Ten Commandments in Washington. Or, nativity scenes being put out instead of this piddly argument that they're trying to take Christ out of Christmas. Seems like somewhere in the Bible it says something about not offending those that are not of your faith. I still haven't found it, yet.

Well, that's my current soapbox. I'm not an advocate of Political Correctness, but this seems awfully trivial and ridiculous to me.

Mercy, I've about written a book here. lol Well, I'll stop now. I need to feed the dogs pretty soon and then do a slew of writing and see if I can clear my mind of the buzz of ideas that have been disturbing my sleep every night.

Happy Holidays.
