7 Ways Financial Reform Will Impact Your Life?-Will it?

Posted by Rosie on July 22, 2010

7 Ways Financial Reform Will Impact Your Life is an insightful article written by Lynnette Khalfani-Cox. I placed a question mark by the title because I thought it best for you to read it and judge for yourself. Lynnette Khalfani-Cox has presented a very balanced and investigative report on the new financial reform.\

I note that because the article was not just a rant or political platform discussion. I liked it. I was informed, empowered and can look at the reform with a critical eye. I am looking forward to the focus on cash instead of credit. She is known as The Money Coach and has an extensive social media presence.

So take a few minutes and read her article on the financial reform and let me know what you think.

Allow Me to be Frank About ClickBank

Posted by Rosie on July 17, 2010

I want to be very frank about ClickBank. I like it.

What is ClickBank?

ClickBank is a major affiliate retailer of digital products. They make it possible for you to sell e-books as well as be an affiliate for other folks e-books.

Why Do I Like it?

Well, I like it more now then I liked it in the early days I first started online. It seems to be easier to use. I also like it because you can make great affiliate commissions. Just think about it. If you are selling an ebook there are no printing costs. That means you can pass on commission rates that exceed the commissions you would get from a retailer that sells products that must be sent in the mail.

If you are a publisher you can sell your book at Clickbank and offer other folks commission for promoting your products. Sounds simple? Well, for many it is but it does not come without some amount of work and learning. So, yes there are many products and gurus out there that can help you.

Do I Have One of Those “I Made Millions on ClickBank” Stories?

NO! But some of you reading this just might and I sure would love for you to share. Right now I am just returning to ClickBank to start my relationship all over again.

I have included a video I thought was simple and easy to understand. It let’s you know how to promote someone’s product in your blog post without locating a super techi to do it. This baby boomer understood it and will start using it. So Check it out and let me know what you think.

Facebook Fan Page Review-Gurus for Hire

Posted by Rosie on June 20, 2010

This entry is part 5 of 11 in the series Facebook Fan Page Reviews

Do you need a Guru? This informative and innovative fan page named Gurus For Hire might be the answer to your Guru needs. As soon as you enter the page you are able to see the expertise of the techi behind the page, Kevin Davis.

He is the second person in the Blog Challenge who is using the powerful “Welcome Tab”. This tab allows you to put in html code plus more. Kevin’s page tempts you with a engaging opt in opportunity. Of course I did not want to be left out. I want those tips that are offered exclusivly for those who “like” this powerful page.

His wall is the best I have ever seen. He has included an image with his contact information plus an offer for a free consultation. Now, just studying the things that he has done on this page is a course in itself.

So, enough said. My fellow babyboomers go and soak up the information on this Fan Page. You will not regret it!

PS Kevin I am waiting for you to add more videos to your excellent video tab on Facebook Fan pages. (A se;fish request)

Baby Boomer Music-The Living Sacrifice Band

Posted by Rosie on June 18, 2010

This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series baby boomer music

I am in total awe of the work this group has produced. It was not until I started reviewing two LP’s I have obtained that I was introduced to them. I am posting the LP’s on Ebay but now I must record some of the music before I do. Here is a great description I found by a blogger who is passionate about vintage gospel music.

This is the description about the Record “Beauty for Ashes” by the Living Sacrifice Band.

Here is the back of the LP

We also found out about another LP released by The Living Sacrifice Band called Called to Brokeness. Here is the description from the Heavenly Grooves Blog. Read it very insightful.

The Living Sacrifice Band

So both of them are for sale but even after the sale is over please go the the Heavenly Grooves Website to stay current on some of the vintage gospel music that will bring back memories.


Facebook Fan Page Review-Suzie Cheel

Posted by Rosie on June 17, 2010

This entry is part 4 of 11 in the series Facebook Fan Page Reviews

As soon as you get to the Facebook Page of Suzie Cheel she engages you with a video. I love her energy, sincerity and warmth. You get to know her right away while she shares what her page is all about. She is using a Welcome page  which I have not seen too often on pages. As a matter of f act I hope she shares how she did it and the apps she used for her html opt in. How very cool.

Her scenic background invites you to go sip on some green tea and rest while you chat with Suzie.

So far she has 91 likes and I strongly suspect it will just go up. I am hoping that she does share some of her cooking tips. Keep up the great work Suzie!

This entry is part 2 of 11 in the series Facebook Fan Page Reviews

Are you thinking about changing careers or need help in the career you are in? Well, if you are consider visiting Kevin Thompsons Facebook Page.

(Please note that the Facebook Pages are behind the scenes. You will see the postings on the wall but they differ from the main Facebook chatter. It is usually niched for business.)

He knows about career transitions. He is a  social media expert and trainer in topics that include Team Building. But he is also trained as a hospital administrator. Economic dramas have exposed him to various opportunities to get re-tooled and gain expertise in new areas as a baby boomer.

His Facebook page is evolving and I encourage you to start more discussions for him and others to address.
