On a home shopping show the American Doll is going for $135 a piece. It is one of the popular items they have. ( If I pay for a $135 for a doll, it better be able to cook, clean and walk the dog.) "

Information Offerings #9 - Wealthy Web Writer

" Information is advice, facts , knowledge, intelligence. Offerings is gift, presents, bonus, freebie. "

I am starting this blog. Trying to find ways to get more people to read this is hard. But thanks to a wonderful article in Wealthy Web Writer ,I am well on my way to a horde of readers.

WWR is edited by Rebecca Matter. She find different writers which give their take on how to write for the web.

My favorite so far is by John Wood's 25 Sites You Can Use to Drive Traffic to Your Blog. Here is a small sample of it.

"There are a lot of lonely blogs in this crazy online world.


Their owners had the best intentions when they started out … they prettied them up … they made them very user-friendly … and they gave them a lot of interesting things to say.


Yet hardly anyone was willing to commit to visiting their blog on a regular basis.


And because of the lack of attention their blog received, posting to it regularly was no longer a priority for their owners. Soon they stopped updating them altogether, and their blog lost any appeal it once had.


Don’t let this happen to your blog.' by John Wood

If you want to increase your readership please go to this site and sign up for the f*ee ezine http://www.awaionline.com/signup/web-writing/ and check out the archive for Oct. 29, 2008. And if you do, they will give a f*ee report “Blogging for Freedom, Money and Fame”

Information Offerings #8 - Ask the Computer Lady

" Information is advice, facts , knowledge, intelligence.

Offerings is gift, presents, bonus, freebie. "

On April 26, 2001 I subscribe to Ask the Computer Lady. And I have been a very happy subscriber since. I believe this is my longest running subscribe I have from the internet.

Elizabeth Boston is a local writer about computers. She also owns and run a computer service for fixing and repairing them. But she doesn't use big words and technology that most computer experts uses. She write for the beginners, novices. She will answer the most simple questions without making you feel dumb. ( But she can answer the tough ones , too.)

Here is an example:

Dear Computer Lady,

I enjoy reading your newsletter. I have a quick question - how do I get rid of some of the icons on my desktop that I'm not using on a regular basis?

I don't want to get rid of the program itself, but I don't need all those icons on my desktop.

Thank you, Janet

Dear Janet,

You can get rid of most icons on your desktop by right-clicking on the icon and click on "Delete" on the shortcut menu that drops down.

This will delete the shortcut on your desktop, but not the program that it points to. You will still be able to access the programs using the start menu.

If you want to remove a program and not just its shortcut, you need to go to the Control Panel and open "Add/Remove Programs" un- install programs from there.

Elizabeth

If you want to get answers about computers, please go to this website and start learning. It is very good for older people who get nervous around the youngsters that sprout terms that go way over our heads.

I do not sign up for any offerings that:

1. I have to put up a credit card. (I got burn once, never again.)
2. Or pay for any shipping/handling, etc.
3. I will not give out my phone number or cell. ( I don't mind giving out my mailing adress.)

A little about me.

This is a work in process. I didn't mean to send the last blog. Having problems with it showing up right.

For some reason, words keep getting cutoff, even when I rearrange the, It is getting frustrating.

I am trying to use technology, that 15 years ago, I didn't know existed.

I started out many, many years ago writing for an apa. (That amateur press association). I printed my articles on a mimeograph machine. (That dates me.) For all you youngsters (that most of you) It was a special typewriter that cut the letters out of the paper. Then you put the paper on a roller that dip into a color liquid (It really stains your hands. You could always tell who wrote the school paper by looking at the hands.) If you were talented with an exacto knife you could make cool designs.

Sp please remember I am a novice at the moment. But I will get better. Be back tomorrow with another offering.

An oldie but newbie,

Chick J

Information Offerings 6 - iwill teachyoutoberich

“Information is advice, facts, knowledge, intelligence.

Offering is gift, present, bonus, freebie.”

I have read many newsletters that try to teach you how to be thrifty. Usually with tips like if you wash your coffee filter you can reuse at least 7 times. You will (since coffee filters cost a penny a piece) save $3.13 a year!!! I find my time is worth more then the money I would save.

Ramit Sethi has much better ideas. He show ways to save real money. And when you cut the budget to the bone, here what he says.

“Lots of frugality people complain that they can’t cut costs any more. They’re right, of course. When you’ve cut to the bone, there’s only one thing to do: Earn more money. Take a part-time job. Freelance. Babysit. Whatever it takes.

The tough part? There are no pithy to-dos on how to earn more. You just have to think hard and try different things. A very unsatisfying answer…but also true.”

---Ramit Sethi--

He really straight with you. A very refreshing and interesting website.

Please get his fr** report: "20 questions your financially unprepared friends are scared of." Read it and have your friends read, too. Be prepared to wince.

Information Offerings #4 - The Leo Quinn Letter

I have always seen those ads in blogs, websites, and ezines. I have read how people sell space on their blogs. I was never sure or had much confidence to try. But one day my letter from Leo Quinn said .

"I liked the idea and I have a blog that makes a little extra

but I had no idea how to set one up. (someone did

it for me a few years ago)

So I decided to figure out how to do it and I

made a video of the process."

http://www.leoquinn.com/blogvideo.html

So I watch it and lo and behold I have a blog with ads!! (No I haven’t made any money yet.) I am learning how to size the ads, place them, and watch the diagnostics. Really enjoying myself and learning a lot.

I also found out it takes a little longer to set up adsense then what the video gave the impression. But that the fun of learning. I learning how to set up templates, write better, to try different fonts and formats.

Leo Quinn is budget helper, tester, many different ideas. He had a site call Leo test lab where is actually tries out some of the money get rich schemes and let us know how they do. Try this site and get his newsletter http://www.leoquinn.com/

I just got a e-book call Seed Money from Leo. He has quite a few offerings on his websites.

As you will find out, this blog will go through changes as I keep learning new and old ideas. (And trying them.) Come along for the ride.

The Bob Bly’s Direct Response Letter is a must for anyone who wants to knows about great copywriting. Robert Bly is one of the best copywriters today. He is not into flowery writing, bragging, or cutting down others. He just tells how to write great copy. Blunt, straight forward, simple and compelling.

If you go to his website you can snatch a copy of his writing.

"How to Double Your Response Rates At Half The Cost" by going to

One of my favorite weekly treats is reading the Copywriters Roundtable e-zine. It is written by the incredible Copywriter John Forde.

He talks about copywriting and writing in general. But his opinions on politics, family, and interesting places ( He travels a lot.) are well worth reading.

If you go to his website http://copywritersroundtable.com you can get his fr*e report “ 15 Deadly Copy Mistakes You Can Easily Avoid “. Although the report is interesting I like his e-zine much better. Give it try.
