"Time after Time....Is Time a Manageable Asset or a MYTH?

Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week’s value out of a year while another man gets a full year’s value out of a week.

More on the Power of Social Media

In a previous Post, June 1, 2009 I mentioned my re-associating with a long time
Friend and Business Associate James Strauss directly from The Powerful Engines,
now classed as Social media.

Because of our memberships in such sites as Facebook, Twitter,
Linkedin, and You Tube


Jim and I have re-connected and are beginning to Share our talents with others. Each of us have developed "Followers" of our respective Vocations and talents and since we have a basic Like-Mind others seem to gravitate to our respective work.

Just this morning James Strauss posted this witty but candid report on an event
"making History". His Take on it is Fascinating:

It's A wonderful Life: by James Strauss

They're back. Oh, not those two chicks who did whatever the hell they were doing on the border of N. Korea. No, I mean Al Gore and Bill Clinton. Al arranged for the great swooping rescue by the great swooping rescuer (that would be Bill) so both of those two "whatever the hell they are now" guys are talking like crazy inside a private airline hanger to CNN and the world. Al has introduced Bill, telling us all what a heartfelt sacrificing individual the big galoot really is...to go over and save two young American women from the clutches of that horrid simian dictator. Al smiles that wonderfully vapid Gore smile (which certainly had something to do with his having his election as president stolen) and says great things about Bill. He then introduces the man, expecting, without a doubt, that the great rescuer will say great things back....Read more

Jim posted this and of course his Followers on Facebook saw it. I commented (an important habit to develop) and then Posted on Twitter a link to this article. 39 of the 2,000 Followers I have on Twitter opened the link and many of them re-tweeted it.

So through the Power of Social Media a Thought was delivered globally in just a few minutes to several thousand people of possible Like-Mind.

A perfect example of the Power of Effective Internet Relationship Building,
Branding and Advertising WHO You Are and What You do, just occurred in my Life.

My phone rang a voice from the past (over 20 years) asked "What's happening Bartok?"

James Strauss, a brilliant man I met in 1970 and formed a Successful Sales Organization, found me on Twitter, Facebook , Squidoo and the Google search.

Jim ( check out his Blog for some sneak previews) and I have not touched base for a couple decades and Because of the Power of the Internet as a Medium of COMMUNICATION,
I see another mutually Rewarding relationship.

Is the Internet our Business

NO

We are in the People Business, providing products and services to those in the Market.

Product Review FREE Advertising....Does it Work?

Are you New to Growing an Internet Business?
Are You new to Business at all?Regardless of experience, there is one Absolute involved in the
Growth of a Successful Business, regardless it's Model or Venue
Effective Advertising!

In fact one of the First Budget Items well designed Business Plans include is the Advertising Budget. Working with many members of Beginners Marketing Class, I have found that very few who have attempted Business, especially on Line, have ever addressed this Fact. So many are wiling to part with their money for the Slick promises of Wealth for no Effort, but are hesitant to allocate a strong Budget to advertising the Product or Opportunity.

I emerged on-line over 4 years ago and was intrigued by the
misdirection offered by so many EXPERTS. I also noticed the Plethora of FREE
advertising Mediums. I enjoy Value and was willing to Investigate FREE.

Most was absolutely Worthless, in direct proportion of Cost..ZERO

Note: The words FREE Advertising yields
153,000,000 spots..popular place!

However, I was able to meet and talk to an Innovator and self taught Internet
Trend Setter, Garland Coulson, from British Columbia. Garland, like myself, was adept at Business consulting Off-line and used his savvy to research the need and create a Unique Product and Helping others succeed at On-Line Marketing, regardless your Product.

The first program I joined was Garland's FREE TRAFFIC BAR



This program allow my ads to be displayed on
Thousands of Tool Bars 24/7

In the past 4 years my sites have been seen 6,360,505 times
with a click through of 3,946 yielding a CTR: 0.06% and
A Cash Conversion of
CTR of 10%.

So What, you may ask?
My normal net profit for the year from a new customer is $187.00

Do the Math..I believe an effective ROI.
ROI you now ask?
Why discuss Return on Investment for a FREE program.

Well after using the system as a FREE user for a few months and
seeing the Benefit I invested in a Lifetime package, allowing
More Sites, Banners and Text Ads.

Lifetime Platinum program is $297 One Time
which provides
Signup Bonus of 500,000 (100,000/ mo for 5 months)
+25,000/mo

And Many, after testing the Waters, find the
Masters Pro
for $19.99 month a great option.

I am VERY pleased with my One time Investment.

Also in the past Year my ads are generating much higher
CTR, because of the wonderful tutorial provided by Garland
and his Staff.

Writing the Copy and presentation is what it is all about.
Also this program is really geared for Split testing of
colors and Backgrounds.
