To All our Brave Serviceman and Women - Thank You For Your Service; Thank You For Your Sacrifices

In Honor of All those Who Paid the Ultimate Price...

What Memorial Day Means To Me

America: land of opportunity, home of the brave and free.
Where the American flag and eagle fly for one and all to see.
Our nation's flag ripples proudly in the breeze,
From sunny California to the sandy shores of Maine,
All across America up to the ocean seas.
Many of our brave and patriotic sons and daughters, who fought on foreign shores,
Have now gone to their eternal rest.
On Memorial Day, Americans honors our veterans,
They deserve our praise and glory,
For they are truly our nation's best!
Some made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe and free,
They paid our future obligations in the name of liberty.
Please do not take for granted the legacy they bequeath,
For these brave heroes never heard the words: 'run' or 'defeat'.
So always remember and shall we never forget,
To thank our veterans and active service men and women every chance we get.

That's what, Memorial Day means to me.

Social Networking and Your Privacy

I've been social networking now for a few years and although I wouldn't consider myself "hard core", I check FB daily and occasionally share pics and/or videos. But on a regular basis add incredibly witty comments to the crazy things that my friends post. Some are true classics! In recent days, I've become more and more concerned about what I read about social networking sites selling the information that they compile about me as I use their site. 


Evidently, the 500,000,000 of us sharing our likes/dislikes, talking about where we go and what we do-is really big business-and by that I mean-big MONEY business. SNS sell our personal information as well as our content to third parties-who are clamoring to find potential sales. I mean I know they have to make money, but at what price to us-the users. And it seems so easy for private information shared on these sites to become available to everyone-I mean, you read terrible stories about things that happen as a result of private information made public from these sites. 


A friend mentioned to me that she was using crazygood.com-a subscription-based social networking site that doesn't sell users' info or even allow ads. I still FB often but use it more as a search for friends now-because it's so massive. But if I want to SHARE info, photos, etc., I only use Crazygood. It just makes me feel more protected, and I'm back in control of my own information. If you're concerned about your cyber safety and want to be SURE your private information remains just that-PRIVATE, then check out Crazygood by clicking on the link below.

Supercharge your Network Marketing Business By Blogging Your Success


Now is not the time to be shy or humble. Now is the time to blog about your MLM success! People want to hear about your MLM journey and they want to know about your successes. They even want to know about your failures and how you kept on working to find success!

Your blog is capable of being one of your best MLM recruiting tools, and here's why: your readers want to know about you. They want to identify with you and they want someone they can look to as a role model. They want someone who will share tips and information and also tell them what to avoid. They want someone who isn’t afraid to put themself out there in public and make a name for themself. If you can do that, you'll gain readers and subscribers and you'll grow your business!

If you haven't already created your own blog, I highly suggest you do so as soon as possible. If you've already created one, I'd like to suggest some things you could share with your readers that will really grab their attention:

  • Your “journey to success” story.
  • Your advice on what not to do. Don't be afraid to share the stories of mistakes you've made – just share how to avoid or fix the mistakes as well!
  • Ten reasons why your opportunity kicks the butts of every other opportunity out there.
  • Your tips for developing a strong business plan.
  • Your goal setting tips.
  • Stories about other successful people – they don't have to be network marketers, just stories about successful people who reached their goals through hard work and perseverance.

For those of you who are hesitating to start their own blog, I want to share with you some excellent reasons to:

  • It's easy. Even people who are technologically challenged can start a blog!
  • You can increase traffic to your website from your blog.
  • You can automate your blog posts, meaning that you can write one today, and set it up to post on any date that you choose.
  • Google likes blogs!
  • You can get backlinks to your blog and increase your page rank.
  • More visibility and another excellent way to build your personal brand.
  • You can monetize your blog with Adsense and earn some extra money!
  • You can sell products (yours or other people's) through your blog.
  • People will subscribe and you'll have an audience that is just waiting for your next post!
  • If you post on a consistent basis, your reader base will increase.
  • Readers can post comments, which means they can participate. You can answer comments if you like, creating a sense of trust and friendship.
  • You will earn the reputation of being an expert!

I hope I have convinced you to either start a blog or to continue blogging with lots of energy. Blogging is an incredibly powerful way of bringing in more traffic to your MLM website and making those valuable and highly sought after sales and recruits that we all need for success!

When you let people in on your MLM journey, share your successes and your publish helpful information, they will begin to see you not only as a trusted expert, but also as a trusted friend. This will lead to continued success on your Network Marketing quest.

Best Regards
