Information Offerings #35 - Conversation Marketing

"Common Sense Internet Marketing" . One thing I do when I am checking out blogs or website to see if they have a tagline, catch phase, or short elvator speech. A good tagline line makes me want to stop and read. Now Conversation Marketing with Ian Lurie first caught my eye because of the title but his tagline made me want to read it.

"Conversation Marketing is a living thing - I'm not done with it. Neither is anyone else." is another of his quotes. It tells me that he going to learn more and hopefully pass it on to me.

Ever read anything that is funny but still is true? Ian Lurie has written this exceptional post. 13Ways To Generate Customer Hate. ( http://www.conversationmarketing.com/2008/05/13-ways-generate-customer-hate.htm .) I am cracking up at my desk. Are you doing these things, too? You will just love it.

Still laughing at 13 Ways To Generate Customer Hate,

Information Offerings #30 - Life, Laughs, and Lemmings

This is one of the best reasons to check out blogs. I came across this wise and funny by accident. It is about a young woman trials and life experiences. Most people would have sat down cried and withdraw from the world.

But not Sami. She dried her tears and face the world. she look at every trial (good or bad). and she found a lesson in each one. Which she shares with us.

For example: Here is one of her life lessons ( I wish I had learn this earlier.)

Life Lessons;

* As much as I’d like to think that my leaving a job will have an immense, immediate and devastating impact on the company such that it will implode and melt down, this my friends, is not the truth. They will and did survive quite well thank you very much without me. It was a humbling lesson. Ahh, the innocence of youth.

Another one:

I found meditation (and medication) to be a powerful way to counteract the sadness, desperation and stress and reduce the chance of going postal (responsible use of sleeping tablets were a godsend for much needed sleep).


She doesn't give a free report, gift, or email course. But she does give herself to us.( Plenty of lfe lessons.) Start reading Life, Laughs, and Lemmings and make a new friend.

Find her at http://lifelaughsandlemmings.com.

Found a new friend,

Your Blog to Blog searcher,
Chick J

Why I just love doing this?

I am curious. Very curious about everything and anything.

I love to start on one blog and then take a link to another blog, then jump again. I am hopping all over the world.

I just sub to two new ezines/blogs. One is from New Zealand and the other is just a couple towns over from where I live!

If I had look for them I would have had a hard time finding them. I like the little blogs/ the new ones/ because one of these will become great/ large and I can say that I was with them at the beginning.

( Just a side note: In the early 1980's I was working a comic book show with my cousin. Two guys came up with a comic that they drew, written and publish. They got the idea one night while drinking beer and eating pizza. The comic book was publish like a tv guide insert. The printer made the mistake but they took it anyways. They offer to sell me a copy for a buck. I told them it was the worst comic I had ever seen. My cousin bought 50 of them.

Four years later I saw them again at a comic signing. Now each guy had made over a million dollars in movie and products from that terrible comic. My cousin was selling those comics he brought for $750 ea.! Yea that I how I met Eastman/Laird of the Teenage Ninga Turtle fame.)

A sad but wiser searcher,
Chick J
