Live like you were dying

Was listening to the news today about Dick Trickle and so sad as he was so liked in this state – attended the wrap up meeting tonight and James was talking about his age, weight and thought that health and heart problems don’t happen to someone his age – and yet many of take for granted that we will get up tomorrow.  There is a song by Tim McGraw that came to mind that I just love the lyrics and would like to share.

No matter how well planned you have your life there are things that will happen that is going to take you down a different path from where you thought you would be going.  I for one can testify to this as I thought about all this today in James’ webinar and listening
about Dick Trickle.

When I first came online, I remember I felt I had hit the end of the world – my life as I had known it for the last 25 years ended – I had gotten divorced not only from the ex but from a day to day life that I had been comfortable with.  Then a friend that I met online right away told me Nancy, it really don’t matter what happens – it’s how you handle it will make all the difference.

You know he was right, sometimes life don’t seem to treat you the best and will throw you a curve ball but as I look back now – I picked up myself, dusted the dust off and started my “new” journey that was waiting for me.  If you find yourself in that rut, feel like you have hit a brick wall, or your giddy up and go got up and gone – maybe you should step back and think about what is going on in your life right now.

What are you doing with your dash?  No I didn’t go Zaney – everyone has a dash and it’s from the time your were born – till the time of your death.  So I’ll ask again, what are you doing with your dash?

Get out there and like the song says – Live like you were dying.  Do the things that you have put off, do something out of your normal routine, go somewhere you have always wanted to go, use the good china, make some memories  – no matter what age you are – Just Do It.

WOW I had to come back and add another paragraph after reading a friend’s blog post
so head on over and read about the Daffodil Prinicple

Are YOU Teachable?

It’s really interesting how much I hear people talking about working online but don’t know where to start, don’t know how to start, don’t know how to adapt to a schedule, don’t know where and what to do – so I have a little challenge for you to see if you are teachable.

Now I know you all are thinking that I have really gone Zaney and maybe I have but I got to thinking how it was for me when I first started online and there is so much going on and you want to be in so many things and scared you are going to miss out on something is you don’t join everything that everyone is talking about.  It’s hard to stay focused, it’s hard to make a plan and stick with it, it’s hard to get a routine going – well this helped me and still does.

So I would like you to backup and try this little exercise for me – this will show you many things – like if you are teachable, can you stick to a routine, are you serious about working online, and do I have what it takes to stay focused – because without these qualities – you might as well go back to Facebook and play Farmville and know that you are online only as a hobby and the fun of it.

BUT if you can do this exercise for 30 days, every day and not make any excuses why you can’t, set yourself up a routine (could be do these before I open Skype, do these before I read my emails etc) you get the idea – you need to set it up to do it the same time everyday.  After the 30 days you will have a better idea what working online is really like and if you also make it thru you are teachable and ready to add to your routine that you have already set up here.

Another reason I want you to try this exercise is that it will give you an idea how slow the money comes in, it will teach you patience, and it will also show you that IF and that is a BIG IF you stay focused you can earn online

Ok here it is – I have 5 sites that I use to earn extra money online and the main reason that I still do them today is that keep me focused, they keep me in a routine, and they have taught me that it does pay to do this.  So I would love you to join in this exercise for 30 days – join these 5 sites and test yourself and find out if you are teachable.

There you go this is sites that I use every day, sites that I have been paid from and sites that helps me stay focused – and note I keep repeating that – not that there are more sites out there that you can join – the lesson here is to stay focused – so we are using the KISS (keep it simple sweetie) method here.  5 sites  join and click daily for 30 days and I will love to hear your results from this exercise.

Yesterday I was telling a friend of mine that you have to take action, repeat that action over and over again when you find something that is working and just keep doing it over and over and one of these days you wake up and realize that it’s working – you will see referrals coming in, you will see people coming to you with questions, you will see the money coming in and best of all you will get those emails that say – wow I learned something from you today or that Skype comment saying that they enjoy your emails or comment on your blog that says they tried what you said and it worked – that is “why” we do what we do.

Ok this is an example that I got today and get lot of these and never, never, never click on the links in these emails as someone is using this email for fish for your info.  The biggest clue here for me is when it says Dear Member – Paypal, Payza, Ebay all these companies use your first name and never will start off their emails with Dear Member.

What do you do when you get one – well here is what I do as I click on actions and click on show header and I copy all that info and forward this email and the header info to phishing@payza.com and if you don’t remember the address to send it to – then just type in Google and search where to send phishing emails to Paypal, Payza, Ebay, etc.  where ever you got the email from.  Don’t know what a header looks like – here is what the header looked like to this one.

Bitter Taste

Like you I get alot of emails and this subject line caught my eye today and I’m going to change the names of the person and the site for this blog post BUT I really thought this was something that needed to be addressed so that other owners don’t get this bitter taste.

madcat I do not know if you know me, but I’m (Site Owner So-So), known as (username). I’m a surfer like you. I started surfing for about 7 or 8 years and I gained some experience.

One of the things I learned was that the surfer should not want to grab everything at once. Rather, he should select some good TEs and programs to promote and surfing.

That’s how I bought and I created and maintain the (Site Name).

But it is very sad to note that few (very few) members promote our TE. I surf every day in many TEs, from the chieftains to the lowliest TEs and … to my sorrow, not even see a single splash promoting our TE.

I see many members here promoting other TEs, I see it constantly, including TEs that offer nothing, and awards that the surfer has to compete with thousands of other colleagues, with miserable ratio.

But … is a right of everyone, I can not disregard the taste of anyone.

So I’m seriously considering changing everything around here. Back to the TE  quality traffic only, offering the usual commissions, no travel and all that amount of prize pages, bonus and other benefits.

All Traffic Exchange, as indeed any business, you need money in circulation: inputs and outputs. When only one side overlaps the other is a sign that something is wrong, so they are necessary steps in this direction.

Sorry for the long email, but it is very unpleasant to be used only for profit … and nothing more.
One hand washes the other. Think of it always.

Thanks for your patience

Site Owner

Well you know me, I responded to his email and this is what I wrote him back……….

Just read your email so thought I’d go see what you were doing at my site
and was surprised to see the results that I seen and could understand why
you are not seeing your pages.  I have a few things that I have learned and
going to share them with you.

ONE it’s up to the owner to do the promoting – 90% of the results that you
get to your site is from what YOU as the owner is doing.  You have to stay
active, keep your site out there and DO NOT count on everyone else doing
it for you – it just don’t happen.

TWO – when I signed into your account you only had ONE link in rotation
promoting your site and yet 4 others promoting another site – the first rule is
to get them to your SITE first and then promote to another site.

THREE – you didn’t have any banners or text links added and you need to use
every resource out there as you never know what is going to make that person
finally click – you have to keep the name of your site in front of them even if it
is just adding the site name as a text as which I did for you and assigned your
text links.

While I was there I add all three of your banners and some appeal to some more
than others and that is all that you should be promoting – YOU and YOUR SITE

The other thing that I have done is created a rotator of all your splash pages
and even set up tracker links for them – now you can use it where ever you want
but what I like is that I don’t have to chase all over now to see where my pages
are being seen – as it tells me in the stats.

Here is the rotator that I created for you (link to the rotator that I created for him)
so it’s up to you right now – if you are going to give up which it sounds like
you are ready to do – or just get back on that horse of determination and get
busy promoting you and your site.

The best part is that with this ONE link (as this is what I do with my site’s
stuff) I only have to add the ONE link and it just rotates all my splash pages
and I find that I don’t need as many credits this way – yet my site is being seen
and I know it’s being seen by the stats.

Good luck and hope that this helps you out – want to discuss this more
you can add me on Skype @ nancyradlinger

Well as I see and hear this alot – thought I’d make a blog post about this situation as I know lot of people have felt this way, been in these shoes and it gets hard sometimes to get up one more time and keep going.

It’s not working – now what

Well you would not believe how many times that I hear this – it’s not working – now what.  No one person has all the answers but it’s interesting when you ask a person well tell me what you are doing and tried.

60728294946944041_qNywDCq7_bThe first thing I hear is well I have about 10 traffic sites that I surf on a regular basis and I am just not getting the results that I thought I was going to get – I see others talking about getting referrals, earning commissions, etc. but now me – it’s not working – now what.

Well if you find yourself in this rut and I know it can happen as I have been there and did  the same thing BUT there is hope for you IF you are willing to take the necessary steps to get out of that rut.

There are a few questions that you need to ask yourself?
What are you promoting, the main page just like everyone else?
Have you tried other sources i.e. safelist, mailers, text ad sites, paid to click, etc.
Do you try to connect with people that have the same interest as you (earning online)
Have you paid attention to people that are getting referrals and earning commissions – what are they doing?
Do you use all the available sources that a site you use offers you?
Do you understand all the features of a site so you can explain them to your referrals
OR do you just surf, surf, surf and hope that you get a referral

If this is you (and it was me many years ago) well get off your keister and change what you are doing – this is NOT as simple as putting a website out there and the referrals and money are just going to flood in without YOU taking some action and different than what you have been doing.

Believe me I know it’s not easy as it means getting out of your comfort zone and maybe learning something new, maybe trying a site that you have never tried, trying sites with other scripts that you are not comfortable with, getting on Goggle and learning something new, getting on YouTube and learning how to try something, try making your own pages, and the list goes on and on.

The next time that you hear someone say they got a referral or earned commissions learn to listen – how they did it.  AND the biggest one is you have a mentor, coach, or friend that you can ask questions that is a plus – BUT the one thing that I see people forgetting about it the person that is YOUR upline – the person that you joined under – what did they do to get you in the program that you are in.

Everyday I get asked can you get referrals and earn commissions – the answer is yes you can but they will not be delivered on a silver platter to you.  YOU have to work for them just like everyone that getting referrals and earning commission.

There are many means of promoting and getting traffic – you need to try and use as many as you can – it is ok to step out and try new things and remember what is working for ONE person might not work for you that is why it’s better to NOT have all your eggs in one basket.

So the next time that you find yourself saying to yourself it’s not working – now what – maybe you slipped in that rut and need to change what you are doing some – and don’t give up – just keep trying, trying, trying and YOU will finally find what works for YOU.

Feel You Just Can’t – Think Again

Sometimes emails come to your box when you need them and this one did and thought I would make it into a blog as I hear from so many how they put themselves down.  Well if you feel you just can’t – think again.

blog1blog2blog3blog4blog5blog6blog7blog8blog9blog10blog11blog12blog13blog14blog15blog16blog17blog18blog19blog20blog21blog22blog23blog24blog25blog26Now the next time YOU feel that you are a failure, that you can’t and when it seems there is no hope – come back to this blog and READ this again.  Stop making excuses, stop blaming someone else, stop thinking that you can’t, stop discouraging others – there are always positives in everyone, everything, everywhere – just find them.

 

Cheap Site Critique

My GranddaughterAs most of you know, I have been babysitting my granddaughter this week and it’s really been interesting our subjects of conversations and let me tell you if you would like a cheap site critique – try your kids and grandkids.

It’s actually been amazing as she has gone thru the sites this week and I was showing her different things as she like grandma’s touch screen – but it sure brought some simple things that I take for granted  – well……………let’s say opened my eyes.

I’m not going thru all my notes that I made but I did want to share some of her insight in looking at different TE’s as she helped me match the icons while surfing – like I said she thought the touch screen was cool and told Grandma to get with the times why you still using a mouse – this is so much faster.

While surfing we were watching for people promoting Zaney Clicks and she was quick at spotting the banners and text links – examples was It’s the Cat’s Meow was one and I would have just kept going and she said there is a Zaney one Grandma – I clicked on it and sure enough – so asked her how did you know that.  She goes Grandma everyone knows that you like cats so it had cats in the text link – had to be yours.

Another lesson, sometimes we get busy branding ourselves with our names that we don’t even see that we also have been branding our sites with images – and the light bulb went on again – well do you know – she goes why don’t you add text links about cats – like Meow, Meow, Meow – well trying to hide the red face I just got a piece of paper and started taking notes.

So I then asked her what was her favorite thing on the sites and she picked the banners and again I asked her why – well they are faster to read – they are always up in the corner and that corner catches my eye before the rest of the page.  Interesting huh??????  I sure thought so.

Then she said I don’t like the flashy ones that makes my eyes bounce too much – I like the nice color ones – bright colors and easy to read – it’s easy to know what the banner is about instead of trying to read all that fine print – so again Grandma is taking more notes and going to go look at her banners.

Then she goes Grandma how come your site is not green??????  That is your favorite color and I thought the idea was to let people get to know you hummmmmm  – she got me again……..wow – so guess I will have to maybe work on looking at that little closer.

Get this one – Grandma how come you aren’t looking at your pages and site with your picture you have on here – it’s looking off the screen – again turning 8 shades of red hmmm well duh Grandma why did you do that – that is simple one to fix.

Well folks this is just a few of the LONG list of things that I got from my Cheap Site Critique.  All it cost me was my time and let her use my touch screen – and now I’m a cool Grandma as she had to go tell her friends at school.

One other thing before I go and got to share this as it’s so funny.  Grandma this is what you do for work, click matching icons, view others pages, play hangman (which she won them all), chat in these rooms and on Skype – wow Grandma I can see why you have become a hermit and we don’t see you – this is an awesome “job”.  Hehehehehe

Text Ads – Love Them or Hate Them

textWell I have been wanting to do this post for so long and finally am getting a chance to get it wrote up as I think about it every time I am surfing.  Text Ads – Love Them or Hate Them.

From what I see most everyone must hate them as they are the most unused source of advertising out there and to me one of the best.  If you are not using text ad and hate them then maybe after I tell you why I love them – you will reconsider.

The first thing I have always heard from people the reason they don’t use them is that they don’t know what to put, they are not good at writing, they are more of a copy and paste person – well BINGO – let’s make it easy for you – pay attention the next time you are surfing and if you see something that catches your eye – copy and paste it to a notepad file like I do – people do this all the time they are call swipe files.

Google Swipe Files sometimes and you will find that some of the best advertisers and copywriters all have swipe files.  You may run across a line that catches your eye copy and paste it for later use.  I have got so I even listen to commercials on TV more and jot down things that I think I will be able to use.

Now once you have your swipe file – now it’s time to take advantage of the BEST (JMO) and most unused advertising out there and here are some of my reasons.  Text links are hardly ever used – there is not much competition – you link will get seen.   AND people do click on them as I have been tracking and I have to say my text links brings me just as many referrals as my other forms of advertising.

Now most site owners are not going to like me saying this but they are practically giving you your BEST advertising on a silver platter.  In the TE’s do you see in most of the prizes that you win it’s FREE text impressions and not just a few either.  AND have you paid attention that for one credit – you sites gets seen ONE time and competes with how many other sites for that view.   Yea, think about it now.

The next time you login, pay attention and you will see what I am saying.  One credit can get you anywhere  from 5 – 40 views.  So think about this you have people surfing and I have Why Zaney Clicks? as a text link – do YOU know how many times that is going to pop up for people to see – oh I know what you are thinking – people don’t look at them anyway.

You are wrong – test it for yourself.  I am always testing that is why you see me changing and making new splash pages, new colors, new graphics, new banners, new text links.  This is what you have to do and you will find that people do click text ads and that you will get referrals from them.

The other place that they are given out freely and under used is TAE (text ad sites)  and I know what you are thinking already – I can’t afford to buy points to get my stuff to show.  You don’t have to 99% of the time you can post text links/ads for free and what makes this so good is that they not only click your link for points – you are keeping what your are promoting in front of them.

Thomas Smith wrote a guide called Successful Advertising in 1885.[6] The saying he used is still being used today.

The first time people look at any given ad, they don’t even see it.
The second time, they don’t notice it.
The third time, they are aware that it is there.
The fourth time, they have a fleeting sense that they’ve seen it somewhere before.
The fifth time, they actually read the ad.
The sixth time they thumb their nose at it.
The seventh time, they start to get a little irritated with it.
The eighth time, they start to think, “Here’s that confounded ad again.”
The ninth time, they start to wonder if they’re missing out on something.
The tenth time, they ask their friends and neighbors if they’ve tried it.
The eleventh time, they wonder how the company is paying for all these ads.
The twelfth time, they start to think that it must be a good product.
The thirteenth time, they start to feel the product has value.
The fourteenth time, they start to remember wanting a product exactly like this for a long time.
The fifteenth time, they start to yearn for it because they can’t afford to buy it.
The sixteenth time, they accept the fact that they will buy it sometime in the future.
The seventeenth time, they make a note to buy the product.
The eighteenth time, they curse their poverty for not allowing them to buy this terrific product.
The nineteenth time, they count their money very carefully.
The twentieth time prospects see the ad, they buy what is offering.

DID YOU SEE THIS – 20 times – so you tell me where are your going to get your site, product, whatever you are promoting seen.  Now I’m tell you to try this because what will happen is that it takes them what 5 times before they read it – well that 5th time they read it well I want them down to that seventh, eight, ninth time seeing it when my ad shows up in rotation – WHY they are more likely going to click on it because you already have them interested and they are thinking I might be missing something.

Ok I could go on and on here but I think you get the idea – so lets get out there and test some text ads – let me know if you love them or hate them

Here is a list that I have been saving just for this blog post – glance thru here and get started today – you are going to be surprised

Best Gift That You Can Give Anytime

You know I listen to everyone this time of the year and how hectic things seem to get as you are chasing around looking for the “perfect gift” which brings me to this post of the best gift that you can give anytime, any season, any reason, and any occasion.

If you think back through the years – do you remember all the materials things (toys, presents, and gifts) that you got – I know I don’t.  What I remember is the time that my Mom did things with me, the time that Grandma showed me something and that Grandpa took me to the park and pushed me on the swings.

The reason that I’m even talking about this is I listen to stories all over the internet and even from friends that I know can’t afford to buy gifts this year and thought that I’d make a few suggestions for people online and offline and all that it cost you is a little bit or your “TIME”  Yep that is the best gift that you can give anytime and as you get older a person realizes it even more.

I’m just going to give you a few suggestions here to get your mind flowing with ideas to be creative with.

For the kids……
A home made certificate for an hour of your time – they pick the activity (and as crazy as it is – just do it)
A certificate of the meal of their choice (yes their choice)
A day to make a family scrapbook together – sorting thru photos etc.
A scavenger hunt where the winner picks tonight dessert
A night to set and listen to their music and watch them do a dance to one of their favorite songs ( my granddaughter loves this one)
An afternoon to play their favorite game – yea even if it’s one of those crazy computer games

For siblings/friends with kids
A home made certificate to watch the kids so they can have a nite out.
Another certificate to make their favorite meal
A scavenger hunt with both families – winner picks the prize
How about making them a cd of their favorite songs

For your parents
Certificates for chores around the house – cleaning, cooking, mowing the year, raking the leaves, the list here is endless.
How about an hour of your TIME just for a visit – really set down and talk to them.
A favorite movie nite they pick the movie yea and Miracle on 34th Street or another black and white movie might not be your cup of tea but to them it’s part of who they are.
One that my 2nd mom always enjoyed us to do was to go to midnight mass with her and don’t make excuses not to – just go

Your online friends
How about sharing a video with them or even just a comment on their FB or even a smiley in their Skype can often make a person’s day.
Sometimes because you can’t see a person you really don’t know what kind of day they are having.
How about a video from you just for them – don’t be shy – get on there and sing Happy Birthday to them – get on there and tell them some funny jokes etc. – you got the idea.
If you do graphics, make they a banner, splash page, etc that would help them promote what they are doing
Offer to take some online classes with them – you both gain that way
Create a virtual vacation for them – DREAM – if you had all the money in the world where would you take your online friend and where would you like to meet them for real – you can make it real

Ok, I think you have the idea – and believe me it works as the best gift that I remember over the years that I got from my son was a cd collection of my favorite country classics that he remember hearing when he was growing up – it was pure torture for him but those cds are just priceless to me.  He said it took him weeks to do and he didn’t understand why I enjoyed that music – also said he didn’t know if he should divorce his wife, shoot the dog, cry in his beer but it’s the fact that he took the “TIME”

Greatest Gift You Can Give Someone Is Your Time
