Welcome back, or for those first time visitors, I’m so glad you stopped by. I wanted to create a place just for you where you will feel welcome and can share with my readers who you are and why you are online. In other words, I’m giving you your own space to promote yourself! 
I truly believe in giving back. During my time here online I have met some really awesome people and I’ve been able to accomplish this through social networking. Is everyone going to want what I have to offer? Absolutely not! But, can someone possibly learn from me or can I possibly learn from them? Most definitely!
Everyone would like their blogs to have more visitors and more comments. So why not start by introducing yourself to my readers so they can get to know you a little better. In return, they just might pop over to your blog and share the love as well. It’s a great way to not only introduce yourself and share what you do, but also meet some new people and possibly make some great connections.
So here is what I would love for you to do:
* Introduce yourself
* What do you do
* What are you passionate about
* Do you need any help or do you offer help
* Promote yourself
I would love for you to stay awhile and check out some of my posts. Comments are always welcome and I promise to return the favor. It’s definitely a win-win situation for us both. You get more links to your site and it will help improve the search engine rankings for us both!
I’ve got one more favor to ask of you! Once your comment is approved (I’ll do that as soon as possible), come back by and hit the “Tweet” button at the top of this page. People will not only be interested in promoting themselves, but they will be able to read all about you as well (free advertising). If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll add me as a friend. My Twitter ID is “adriennesmith40”.
So spread the love, leave me a comment on my posts and let’s get to know each other. I will be forever grateful!
Thank you so much and see you soon!
P.S. I would also appreciate it if you would join me on my Facebook Fan Page! I share lots of goodies over there plus we just like to have a lot of fun interacting so please be sure to join me!

Well I guess I’ll get this started. Thank you for creating this, Adrienne!
-My name is Dillon and I’m an Intern Architect, Photoshop Guru, and Social Media Enthusiast. I currently reside in Philadelphia, PA.
-Simply put, I do architectural design work, 3D models, and all varieties of graphic design.
-My main focus is on creating graphics to help people brand their companies & themselves on Facebook. bit.ly/FacebookBanners I can also help you put together a complete branding package, such as: Facebook Banners, profile images, Blog headers, animated blog ads, animated Twitter avatars, etc.
-I’m passionate about social media and how it allows a vast array of people that probably would have never met, communicate together. I’d like to think I know almost all of the ins and outs of Facebook, but there is always more to learn. I’m also extremely passionate about innovative designs, whether it be architecture, graphics, fine art, etc.
-I’m hoping to get started on my first WordPress website in the next month or so that will be 100% mine. It will be focused on Facebook tips & tricks, graphics, and a bit of my architecture work mixed in the graphic department. I’m sure I’ll need some assistance in getting it the site up to speed, as well as learn more techniques for affiliate marketing.

Hey Dillon,
You sound like a really talented and busy guy. Thank you for sharing more about you and your business. I can’t wait to see your blog and read how you can help us more with Facebook. I’m sure there is so much that I’m not aware of and can really learn from someone who is in the know. Really looking forward to seeing that.
Welcome and thank you.
Adrienne
Hi Dillon-
I see you provide a very needed service for anyone with an online business.
The way we look helps us get noticed by the world.

Thank you for sharing what you are doing at the moment. I know that people can always use a virtual assistant. I considered taking on that challenge once but just enjoy doing something totally different.
Appreciate you stopping by.

Hi Adrienne, you’ve got a great site here!
Im currently a student in my junior year in high school and I’ve recently started trying to do marketing online through facebook and twitter. I’ve been into photography for a few years and have been trying to get recognition and exposure online. I have a website (www.cpieszkophotography.webs.com)
and a facebook page. I would appreciate if you would take a look at one of them. Im thinking of selling photos online in the future but for now im just displaying them. I’ve also done drawings (included on websites) and write poetry amongst other things which i will try to include online in the near future.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Christopher,
Welcome my young friend and congratulations for taking a step forward and starting a new venture in your life at such a young age! I wish I had the opportunities you kids have now when I was young.
I love photos and I admire people who are able to capture an image! I was always jealous of my cousin who has an amazing talent for photography. I will be sure to visit both your sites and thank you so much for sharing who you are and what you do with us all. I hope you receive many more visitors because of this post.
Thanks for stopping by!
Adrienne
Hi Christopher-
Holy Cow! You are one talented Junior Higher! When I was in Junior High..all I was thinking about were boys and school dances! Seriously!
I flipped through your portfolio and saw so many beautiful photographs. You are obviously not your average kid. I only wish that everyone could find their passion in life as early as you did.
All the Best to You!

Hi Adrienne,
Thanks for inviting me to introduce myself here. I first want to tell you how much I enjoy your tweets. There are so many “experts” in your field online that are just spammers or pushing cheesy websites to rake in the Google Adsense dollars – you’re a breath of fresh air. A real person doing real work, and with a great smile!
My husband and I own Fire Mountain Solar, a “small” renewable energy company in NW Washington state. We do everything from designing systems to product sales to installations. We’ve been in the industry since before it was the “in” thing, which means we’re in it because we believe in it.
We run both our home and our office building completely off-grid, supplying most of our power year-round from solar and wind. During the couple of months where we can get extended periods of short dark days we use an automatic propane generator to supply the extra power we need.
What am I passionate about? Relationships and excellent customer service. We believe our job is to educate, inform and assist people, not sell to them. If renewable energy is right for them, great. But sometimes our job is to show them why it’s not and thus “lose” a sale (but gain a friend).
I run the business side of our business, and have just recently taken the Twitter plunge. My goal for this year is to really get our social networking established. Please check out my very young blog, but don’t expect one of those technical blogs about all the latest gadgets. I’m shooting for the “softer” approach as you will see in some of my posts. http://www.firemountainsolar.com/community/blog/
I look forward to more of your tweets and articles!

Thank you SO much Alana. That really means a lot and you are so thoughtful to go out of your way to tell me that. I’m so touched!
Don’t you love it when you’ve been in that business for awhile and people are finding coming around to what you’ve been doing. I don’t doubt that you all are very successful and you seem like the kind of person I would prefer doing business with. As you have probably noticed, I take the same type of approach with my business as well. Give them that personal touch, help them the best way you can and if they become a customer great! If not, you’ve just gotten another really great friend out of the deal.
Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing more about you and what you do. I’ll be sure to visit your blog soon.
Take care,
Adrienne
Hi Alana-
Wow! How I admire what you are doing for us and the earth!
I grew up in the hippie generation and back then I thought their beliefs in natural remedies and natural ways of living were laughable. I don’t anymore! In fact, I’m a 100% Green girl today.
All the Best in showing the world your concepts!

I am learning new things every day, and am so grateful for people like you who share their knowledge and resources!

Hi Tom,
I appreciate you accepting my invitation to stop on by and share more about you with all of us.
I’m so happy to hear that you are realizing how social media can really help your business. We all would prefer purchasing something from someone we know, like and trust. Sounds like you are on the right path. I see you are in Nashville. I have family there so will have to tell them to look you up the next time they are in need of some new appliances.
Thanks again for sharing more about you with all of us.

Would love to learn more about you and in doing so you’ll become a lot more attractive to potential buyers. Just a little helpful tip!
Hi Adrienne!
Just met you on Twitter, and I LOVE your concept here. I am a fun loving woman who is never short on words. With Twitter’s 140 character limit I have had to become an expert in the condensed version.
To prove that I’ve succeeded this is an actual tweet one woman wrote me two days ago. I should tell you first that she was just commenting on my Twitter name which is WeWant2HaveFun. She said, “ok, you got me…cause I always want to have fun! So what’s the story, I didn’t check the link yet.”
Wow! I thought, “How can I possibly convey who I am and my story in just 140 characters?” It took me awhile, but this was my answer to her, “The story: Late-in-life divorce devastation; placed ad for girlfriends; found hundreds; huge success for 7 years- taking it global in 2011″.
It must have worked because she immediately entered her email address on my website to periodically receive a series of short FREE videos telling my story and stories of our members that also includes information how every woman on the planet can soon join us.
And instead of me going on for pages here….which I could, mind you….I think I’ll leave it at that with your readers, too.
The thing I want everyone to know is that my group is the place where women of ALL ages anywhere in the world can find friends, laugh and have fun!
I WILL be coming back often and leaving comments on other people’s comments, too!
Again, Adrienne…This is simply a FABULOUS idea, and I wish you all the success in the world! Oh, and I’m going to sign up for your “Free Website Traffic In 24-Hours Report” since that’s what I need most right now.
All the Best!

Welcome and thanks for taking the time to share with us a little more about you.
I can definitely relate, I’m a talker. 140 characters!!! Please… But darn, you did a great job of condensing your answer down. I might need to take some lessons from you! LOL!!!
I LOVE meeting new friends and your site sounds fabulous. See, this concept does work. And I appreciate you visiting my other friends here and letting them know what you find of interest with them as well. Thank you for that Linda… That’s exactly why I did this.
Have a blessed day and enjoy the report! We all can use more traffic.

Hello,
This has become quite a journey!
Yesterday I was checking some blogs, saw a post you had done, liked it, commented, you replied, I followed you on Twitter, you sent me a welcome message inviting me to check here, & voila!
It appears we have the same mentor!!
In short, I’m Bruce, I work part time on the Internet, mostly with affiliate marketing with review webpages (not websites). A couple of years ago I started http://rocketrider.net for an entirely different – and ill fated, (but we wont go into that!) – purpose, and being the cheapskate I am, didn’t want to waste a domain, so decided to turn it into a blog to just kind of collect my thoughts etc. What I found out though, was people started to read it, and some even liked it. There was even the odd one that bought something through a mention I’d made!
I also discovered this is fun. Creating review sites & the resulting back linking can be a bit boring, even lonely, and by contrast developing a personal blog is very engaging, you get to meet some great folk – like you!!
That’s important when you’re working at home, & by yourself, as without watching it, you can become a bit of a lonely fellow.
One thing I could use some help with is how to manage Twitter. I’ve been down the road of automated spam fest twitter “tools”, so I’m not meaning that, more how to integrate Twitter into my blog, but without it consuming ALL my time.
Suggestions welcome….
- Bruce
In case you’re wondering http://rocketrider.net has absolutely nothing to with rockets. Hmmm, maybe that should be the tagline?
Twitter: adriennesmith40
April 18, 2011 at 11:11 AM
Hey Bruce,
Awesome to see you here and I’m glad you took this particular journey.. Great minds think alike!
Glad to hear that you are doing some affiliate marketing. Hope you are having some success with your review sites. I do find that I enjoy my blog more than anything, go figure. Hey, it’s the best way to start socializing with people other than Facebook. Even though I have met some amazing people through Twitter recently, them following me back over here. See, that stuff does really work!
We’ll have to talk more about Twitter. Are you thinking of putting the Tweet button on your posts because I briefly had a look at your blog yesterday but haven’t had time to check it out fully (which I will trust me). You do have the share buttons at the bottom of your page. Want to know how to get more followers and what I use? I can definitely help you get started getting more followers that’s for sure. Twitter is a great way to meet people.
Again, thanks for sharing more of who you are with us. I promise to get over to your blog and do my thing as well.
Have the best day ever Bruce…

Thanks Adrienne! What I’m most excited about is being able to help small business owners navigate through the new world of social media.

So you’ve been online for more than 10 years, that’s good to know. You are way ahead of some of us. I always enjoy getting to know my readers and hearing what they enjoy doing. I love social media and these days, people need to understand how it can benefit their business more. I’ve subscribed to your RSS feed so I can come back and visit you on a regular basis now. Will enjoy learning more from you.
Hi Adrienne,
So glad to add you as a Twitter and FB friend! I am a retired RN, and now pursuing a writing career. I am passionate of helping people learn to spread love in order to help others, and themselves, live with more passion. We cheat ourselves out of so many wonderful things when we close others off.
I am hoping to publish some articles in magazines and write a book soon. I’m just beginning, and it is rough. However, I’m of the believe that I can become whatever I desire if I’m willing to work hard for it. Have a great Easter weekend. Sally

You have already fought half the battle. You know what you want, you are going after it and I have no doubt you will achieve it. I have met a number of people now who are online and writing for others. It’s a start to bigger and better things. Also have a friend that lives in Norway who just finished his first novel. So I know that there are others out there just like yourself who are living their dream of being a writer.
Will look forward to reading some of your work. Until then, have a wonderful week. I’m sure we’ll speak soon!
Adrienne
Dear Sally:
Follow your dreams and never give up! Writers must be persistent if nothing else. Don’t look at “no” as a negative, but instead think of it as if you just haven’t yet asked the right person yet :0)

Hi Adrienne –
Thanks for the opportunity to get to know you and others on your site, and to tell a bit about ourselves.
I’m Kaarina Dillabough, a business coach, consultant and strategist for over 25 years now. I’m passionate about helping people be the best they can be, in business and in life. I’m a former Olympic broadcaster and coach, where we won a gold medal in Los Angeles in 1984. I had the pleasure of performing in the Opening Ceremonies of the Games in Montreal in 1976.
I love to work one-on-one with clients, to help them achieve higher levels of profitablity and personal prosperity.
I can be found at my website at http://www.kaarinadillabough.com, on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/kaarinadillabough and on twitter at KDillabough
I’m a lover of life and livin’ it to the max: sharing experiences, expertise and support to help others do so as well. Single malt fan. Passionate about helping others succeed. Cheers to you all! Kaarina

Welcome Kaarina and thank you for sharing with us more about you. Wow, a former Olympic broadcaster and coach. That must have been really exciting. I can only imagine. And performing in the opening ceremonies at one time. I’m very impressed and so honored that you stopped by.
I think that coaches are sometimes a necessity in life. I worked with a spiritual life coach a few years back and she really helped me break through some barriers I had about my own limited beliefs. Sometimes you don’t really realize where they come from so getting a totally different perspective really helped.
I’ll be sure to check out your site and see if we can’t connect on Facebook as well. Thank you again and have a blessed afternoon.

Adrienne (and all of you who have taken the time to read this far),
I am continuously amazed by the good things that happen in life for those who are willing to remain engaged. It was just a few weeks ago that I connected with a guy in Norway, Jens Berget (www.slymarketing.com), who is not only pleasant but helpful in providing tips and tools that I have found useful for the business that I launched, recently. Just this morning, he RTed a message from you, Adrienne. This led me to “follow” you, and your response was friendly and warm.
Needless to say, I was pleased to find this site on which I have, now, invested some time. I have enjoyed reading the comments from those who have preceded me in finding your site, and I have been enticed to begin seeking connection with a few of them. For this, I want to express to you my appreciation for the invitation to self promotion.
I am not going to take a whole lot of space promoting my business. Advertising in Depth is focused on assisting small business owners in the Twin Cities area in the promotion of their businesses on the Internet. I have a Facebook Page, as well (on which I would welcome any “Like”s): http://www.facebook.com/pages/Advertising-in-Depth/172014826177595
Passions? . . . where do I start? I can’t make enough time in my day to pursue those things for which I have a passion. I have a passion for gaining knowledge (variety of subjects), and I can get lost in research on a topic. I have a passion for meaningful interaction with interesting people, especially those with whom I can share something that they find to be of value. I have a passion for purposeful political activity. Besides these, I have many interests in which I periodically indulge myself.
Yes, there’s even more, for those who care to explore further.

Ah, my friend Jens… He’s amazing isn’t he! What a wonderful guy and I enjoy not only his blog but following what he’s involved with as well. I’m so thankful that you found your way over here and have shared with us some of what you are interested in.
I’m sure others appreciate you acknowledging them as well. I’ve had a few people locate each other through this post and are now either working together or assisting each other in some way. I’m so happy that they are reaching out to each other.
I appreciate you sharing more about you with us. Always enjoy learning about my new friends and blogging buddies. Thank you for taking the time.
Have a blessed day!

Hello Adrienne,
I came across your blog on Twitter and it’s great to see you’ve continued the social theme by giving others the opportunity to promote and engage. It’s refreshing to find a genuine and useful site amongst all the blatant self-promoting “noise” online!
So here’s a little about me and I’ll try and keep it brief:
I’m a PR and marketing consultant that helps businesses on a limited budget to market their products online. I also provide free marketing resources on my website http://www.prserviceuk.com.
I’m a big Twitter fan and understand how daunting it can be for new users. There’s some great Twitter management resources online, but again the choice can be overwhelming but I’ve got some favourites which I’d be happy to share for those interested- contact me and I can send them over. I’m currently working on a resource to help new Twitter users.
If you need help with the below, contact me for a no obligation chat:
*SEO
*Copywriting
*Social media optimization
*Press release writing and distribution
*Wordpress web design
Even though I’m a businesswoman, I promise there won’t be any hard sell
Your questions are great feedback to keep providing services useful to small businesses.
OK, I’ve rambled on long enough…
Thanks Adrienne and keep up the good work!

Why thank you Rita for your kind words and for sharing more about you with us. It’s refreshing when I come across people who are here for the “right reasons”. Sure, we all want to make money but there is a right way and a wrong way to approach it, wouldn’t you agree? I’m happy for my blog to be a place for others to connect and possibly help each other out or a place where we can locate people we want to do business with.
Thanks for sharing with us more about you and what you provide. I may be sending you an email to check out those Twitter resources. I use quite a few but always like to hear what others are using. So thank you for that.
Hope you have enjoyed your weekend and are looking forward to another great week ahead. Best to you.
Adrienne
Thanks Adrienne- looking forward to your Twitter questions! Have a great day

Well, my name is Sam and I was directed to this site via Twitter! I think this is a GREAT idea to network online!
I just finished my first year at York University – Schulich School of Business. I’m most likely going to be specializing in Marketing, which is what I’m passionate about. However, I still have a lot to learn as I am new to the business world. Specifically, I enjoy learning about social media and participating in all it has to offer. I find it so fascinating that a simple social network like Twitter can introduce you to so many new people, ideas, articles, bands, trends etc. Overall, I’m intrigued by the power of a blog post, a tweet or a Facebook status.
I simply maintain a casual blog that is an arbitrary collection of my thoughts, some stories, rants, quotes and now “confessions”. Feel free to stop by any time and check it out! This blog also connects to a second blog I maintain as “Survival Tips for Living with Your Italian Grandparents”. I live with my Grandparents and so, simply for entertainment purposes, I add little tips every once in a while relative to my experiences with them.
Thank you Adrienne for this opportunity to share and connect!

Hey Andrew, thanks for stopping by my blog and sharing this with us. I don’t even know that that is… I’ll have to check out your blog and read more about that.
Hi,
I’m Bryan Hunter and i’ve just recently started a website, http://www.phonetipsandtricks.com, containing hundreds of Tips, Tricks, Hints and Shortcuts for Smartphone users.
The site is totally free and i’m currently trying to build traffic in the hope I can earn some a steady stream of passive income. I’m a bit of a phone geek, so i’ll blog about smartphone related news, industry trends and so on.
Having been made redundant last year i’ve swooped at the opportunity to make a living online. It’s slow going, but I love it. I also have another few sites in the pipeline, but i’m being careful not to juggle too many balls at once. I’m trying to finish one site before I move to the next.
I guess the main problem I am having at the moment is how to improve my CTR on ads. I wonder if there are any good software products to rotate ads on your site so you can see which ones perform the best? At the moment Google Adsense isn’t doing great, so i’m considering promoting my affiliate banners instead. But then it’s early days, so i’m not jumping to conclusions.
Thanks for allowing me to promote myself Adrienne. If you own a phone, please check out my site and i’m open to feedback about the site
Best regards,
Bryan

Welcome Bryan and thank you for sharing with us what you are involved in.
Wow, you dedicated your site around Smart Phones. Guess you are the go to guy for these. That’s good to know. I guess whenever I decide to upgrade my phone, you’ll be the guy I come to for advice.
You have to be patient with your ads and such. You aren’t going to see instant results, that I know for sure. If you are using Google Adwords you can rotate your ads to see which ones pull the best. I don’t use Adsense so I can’t help you with that. Hopefully someone who stops by my place might be able to help you.
Good luck with your sites and again, thanks for stopping by and sharing with us a little more about you. Have a wonderful day!

Hey Adrienne,
I have been going in a few directions lately. My latest project is my buybarefoot website.
It’s an online store for “Barefoot products, lotions and notions.” The flagship of this little operation is Barefoot Science™ foot strengthening insoles.
As a reseller of this product, I can personally say it fixed my chronic achilles tendonitis and saved my tennis game.
I am also a writer/editor/website producer specializing in…just about every type of client. Yes, with http://www.editme.ca/
I cast my net widely back in the day, and oh the stories I could tell! Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that it is very difficult to survive as a freelance or even contracted editor these days due to a number of factors that would lead to my going on a rant. So I won’t. So in the communications area, I have been moving more towards the website producer side, emphasizing to clients that I can produce for them an easily updated website that they can manage with very little effort and minimal instruction.
Suffice to say that I find you have to have a few things on the go to survive and thrive online. I am eager to learn more about affiliate marketing so that I can start to monetize some of the other pages on Buy Barefoot. No luck yet, but I am all ears.
I also have many other ideas and projects pending. I am banking on making the right connections. Caught you on Twitter. Read your Bio,and I can relate considering how many avenues I have been down – some fruitful, some not. Thanks for the space!

Hey Wayne,
Thanks for sharing this with us all. I love it when we locate products that actually have helped us. We are our own best testimonial wouldn’t you agree?
I know the feeling about going in a lot of different directions. Sounds to me like you have a lot of talents and are putting some of those to very good use. Creating websites for people is a gift. I wish I had that talent. I had my free training site template created for me and paid the guy a nice sum of money for it. I have several friends who are using their specific talents to drum up more business for themselves as well.
I have lots of great stuff to share with you about affiliate marketing and have a blog I created at the end of last year that will walk you through everything I’ve done to create my business from scratch. If you are interested in checking it out, just visit newsuperaffiliateblog.com. All that info is 100% free.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing this with us. It’s a great place to get connected with others. Take care and have a wonderful afternoon.

Hi Adrienne,
My name is Doyin Fashakin and i help people create stree-free events that become lifetime memories. I’m glad i came across you and your blog. Online networking is a great tool for businesses.
I’ve been planning events for over 6 years. Our company is based in Houston Texas and we organize corporate events as well as social functions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries e.t.c.
I’m still trying to get a hang of the social marketing world. I think its exciting but it can be overwhelming sometimes. Even though i have a twitter account, i don’t really understand what it does and how it helps businesses.
I’m currently seeking bloggers who can blog about eventips and someone who can help manage our Facebook and Twitter accounts. We don’t have a big budget for that at the moment but hope to get there soon.
Thanks again for inviting me to your blog. Have a great weekend!

Well welcome Doyin and I’m thrilled to have a fellow Houstonian drop by. Yep, we’re neighbors! How cool is that.
Thanks so much for sharing with my readers what you do. That’s sounds like a fun and exciting job. I’ve met a few party planners in the past and they just love organizing those types of functions.
I wrote a post back in February about Twitter if you’d like to check that out. You may find it a little helpful since you are just getting started over there. It’s titled My Twitter Revelations. Give me a shout if you need any further help.
Thanks again for stopping by and hope you are having a wonderful day! Enjoy your weekend as well.

Adrienne,
My Name Is Annie Andre. I’m a multi-passionate person and ex-corporate dweller turned lifestyle entrepreneur. After my husband and i were laid off on the same day I started my own line of specialty sleeping mask all handstitched by moi as a side hobby thinking i would re-enter work after a year. My husband was in no rush either to look for a job. Little did we know the economy took a turn for the worse in 2008 and 2 years later my side hustle business was our only income. So we packed up the kids, left our home in silicon valley an headed east for a year. We lived a semi nomadic life between Montreal and Maryland.
Now we’re on a new adventure after this summer we will be applying for visas to stay in France for a year why we try to get 2 new businesses off the ground ( coaching and consulting).
We both come from the high tech industry and know our way around HTML, databases, analytics, seo, web advertising and more since we worked for start up and wore many hats. so why not try to work for ourselves? Nothing to lose.
In addition to my sleeping mask business, i have a blog, http://www.AnnieAndre.com which is part manifesto part inspiration for people to get off the treadmill of life and live more adventurously while staying a little practical too. Lets face it, not everyone can go wild and crazy adventures especially when you have to take care of kids.
So that’s my story. We’re at the beginning of our adventure, where it ends i have no idea.
thanks Adrienne for letting me share this with others and you.

Hi Annie,
Thanks so much for dropping by and sharing more about you and what you are up to these days with me and my readers. What a cool life you lead. Of course the turn of events that put you in this position was something I’m sure was unexpected but look at all the great stuff you and the family get to experience now. Years down the road you are going to think back as this being some of the best times of your life. Just being together and realizing that having each other is all that’s really important.
I have no doubt that everything you and your husband want to accomplish will take place. You just seem like that kind of go getter. I’m so pleased that you stopped by and we had the chance to meet. I have Mr. Benny to thank for that.
Appreciate you sharing part of who you are and what you are doing with us all. I wish you the very best of luck and if anyone needs any coaching and/or consulting services, be sure to look Miss Annie up. She’s one heck of a lady!

Hey Adrienne,
Thanks for providing this section and your online tips in general. This blog is an amazing source and I am honored to be part of this community!
My name is Vitaly Tennant, and I’ve always been doing stuff online. My first legitimate site was created 13 years ago, it was an ecommerce site (which didn’t go too well; although great learning experience nevertheless). Long story short, I’ve come a long way and have been part of many online ventures. With having passive income streams from companies I’ve helped start up and those that I am currently building, I feel that I am on the right track in obtaining a fulfilled life. I am a firm believer in helping others. This quote comes to mind “If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll get what you want”.
You can find a lot of great info at http://mytimemattersblog.com which consists of lifestyle and internet wealth posts … as well as bunch of other stuff. Ultimately it was a niche blog turned into a melting pot of information with contributors.
I also do social media growth and planning and offer services in that regard to certain clients. http://vitalyvt.com
I’ve been lucky enough to meet great individuals and speak at conferences with millionaires and billionaires. I advice everyone to attend their local meetups and get out from behind the computer screen and make some solid connections!
My latest project with few other partners is to offer coworking space in Richmond, VA. Basically it’s for all of us that work from home, and need an office away from home (you know printers, fax machines, lots of caffeine, etc.), which brings like minded individuals together. It’s been great so far, and we’re opening our second location in the fall.
Thanks for offering the space to share what we do Adrienne.

Hey Vitaly,
Thanks for dropping by and providing me and my readers more information about who you are and what you do. What an interesting life you’ve had and still do lead. This place is one big learning experience after another isn’t it! But that’s what makes it so great. We learn from our mistakes, become much better, move on and do better.
Wish I knew someone in VA but hopefully someone reading this just may. You never know.
I’m so glad you enjoying reading my posts. Kind of makes me think I’m doing some good here. I sure hope that’s the case.
Again, thanks for sharing with us and glad we are part of the same blogging community now.
Adrienne:
It’s really good of you to offer this page to everyone. Thanks for that. I’m so glad I found your site, and I look forward to reading more and more of it.
A bit about my blog: It’s based on a model I developed for personal change. The model is made up of what I believe are the 4 essential principles of self-chosen change, i.e. the kind of change we choose to make in our lives (as opposed to the kind of change that happens beyond our control).
I distilled every relevant source I could find into 4 common principles. I did it the research after noticing that there seems to be a separate how-to list for virtually every kind of self-chosen change. To me, it seemed that there had to be commonality – whether the change is becoming more creative, or working in a new way, or transforming a thought process, or taking a new approach to exercise and nutrition.
I found 4 common principles. To make them into a memorable model, I gave them each a label beginning with the letter M. If you or anyone would like to know more, here is a summary: bit.ly/jMD4fK (scroll down to the heading, “What’s the model?”).
I welcome any thoughts, from you and your readers.
Many thanks, Adrienne! Heading over to your FB page now.

Hi Susan,
Great to see that you did stop by. I’m happy to have a place on my site where my new and regular visitors feel they can come and let the rest of us know all about who they are and what they do. That’s how relationships are formed aren’t they? By getting to know the people we are and what we might be able to help others with.
You put a lot of thought into this so I will be sure to stop by your place and take a look around. Am happy for you that you have found what you are passionate about and I’m sure that you have been able to help a lot of people.
Thank you for sharing once again and have a blessed day!

Hi
The first thing i’m is a mom to 8. My family
comes first before any thing. I even dropped
out of school for the 2nd time because my family
needed me.
The 2nd thing is i’ve done ebay for about 10 years now
but it is some thing i like to get away from. my hold online
classes for new members or do a ebook on ebay and sell that.
I need some thing that i can do online but wont cause allot
of stress on me.
i was all so thinking of a membership site with ebooks and things
like that.
My other idea is i love to make personalized candy wrappers and news papers
and other things. these are templates you put over a candy bar and the news
paper is designed with a header and different names like Baby times. These would be templates i sell to other but not sure if i want to sell them as sets or
as a membership. i’ve sunk over $1,000 into graphics since 1998 so ever thing i
use is legal i don’t have to worry about copyrights.
The other thing i’ve had since 2007 is a personalized site like zazzle.
I know part of my problem is i’m not sure how to promote myself or my item.
The other thing i love doing is helping other people.
Thanks for letting me post here
Have a wonderful day

Hi Bonnie,
Thank you so much for sharing more about you me and my readers. I can tell you are a very loving individual, always putting your family first. That’s so important.
What you do sounds very interesting. Do you talk about the things you love over at your blog? I know we just met yesterday due to the participation we both contributed in the getting to know you day. You should share with others on your blog what your loves are and then visit other blogs and start building up a dedicated community. They will eventually be more than happy to spread the word for you and there is no cost at all for friendship.
Just a little suggestion and again, I appreciate you stopping by and maybe some of my others readers may have some suggestions at all.
Thank you again and hope you are having a wonderful day.

H, Adrienne! So nice to connect on Twitter and here on your blog! This is a great concept, and I appreciate you offering the opportunity!
I am a musician and music teacher and also an author. I’ve traveled the world singing and am now settled in as a married lady and mom. I LOVE teaching others, and so teaching music is right up my alley. I also saw the need to teach students (both children and adults) how to play piano in a way that they could actually USE through their entire life, as I realized that most people who have taken piano lessons forget much of it after lessons are over. You don’t know how many times I have heard, “Well, I used to play…”
That’s just not right to me, so I had to do something about it. I wrote a book called “Chord Piano Is Fun” (http://www.chordpianoisfun.com) so that people who have learned piano in the past can learn some new things that they never even realized and be able to play anything they want. It’s so exciting to hear so many students (including people who have taken piano lessons for years) say to me, “I can’t believe I didn’t know this stuff before!”
So, my passion is to teach and to teach music to anyone and everyone who wants it. It’s so exciting for me to see students take the information that I have to offer in my book (and soon in more videos) and be able to play and sing along, or to be able to accompany a band or soloist. The book has been so very well-received and those who follow my blog (http://www.musicmakersmusings.com) get a discount on the book, too!
Thanks again for letting us flaunt our stuff. You have a great website here, and I look forward to following it and following you on twitter!
God bless,

Guess what! I use to know piano too. But I could never read the notes, I learned by ear. My Mom and sister still play as well as a couple of my cousins and my aunt still plays piano and organ at her church going on 50 years now. They play so beautifully too.
Thanks for sharing and you have such a unique talent. I’ll definitely come check out your site.
Have a beautiful day and thanks again.

Hi Adrienne! I’m Ruth, and I am a freelance writer living in the Greater Toronto Area (yup, I’m a Canuck). I spent more than a decade working in non profit management, and transitioned about a year ago into corporate communications. I took a deep breath, and launched my own business. I write mostly for tech and retail companies.
I’m passionate about my family (husband, five kids and a dog), Ashtanga yoga, handbags, and Down syndrome. Well, I suppose not Down syndrome, but the integration and appreciation of people with exceptionalities.
I’m always looking for help from people more seasoned and experienced. Just started my blog this week – I know that there is lots of room for improvement, so feedback, tips, constructive criticism is welcome!
If you know of anyone looking for a freelance writer – I do web copy, press releases, case studies, blog articles, white papers, corporate speeches…pretty much anything content driven. My turnaround is quick, and my rates are reasonable.
Thanks for the opportunity for shameless promotion!

Hi Ruth,
I appreciate you stopping by and sharing more of who you are and what you do with us. Congratulations on starting that blog too. I’ll have to stop by and give it a once over.
You sound like a very talented young lady and I have no doubt you are a huge success in your given area. I hope that by sharing more of you with my readers that someone just might need your services. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you again and send anyone over who would also like to shamelessly promote themselves.
Hi Adrienne. Thanks so much for the opportunity to promote myself on your blog. That’s a great idea and super generous.
I am new to the blogging world. I have a website, but I am in process of building my wordpress website which will include blogging. I have a great deal to learn!
My name is Robert Litzenberger and I live in Brady, Nebraska, in the West Central part of the state. While I pastor two churches, I also have a personal “note referral” business at home.
This business involves finding private individuals who are holding a trust deed, private mortgage, or land contract. In other words, they are receiving monthly payments that are secured by property. What I do for them is to offer a free, no obligation, quote as to what their future payments are worth in a one lump sum of cash. I work with buyers across the country who bid these on the open market. I take the highest bid and make an offer back to the note holder. They decide from there.
I find these individuals by researching court house records, as they are on public record. I then contact them and offer my service. I can also buy leads if I so desire. I then collect the needed information and make the buyers aware of what notes are for sale.
This is a challenging business for me, yet fun in so many ways.
Now, more about me. My wife’s name is Beth and we’ve been married for 26 years. We have three children, Katie, Robbie, and Matt. Katie lives in Lincoln, NE, works at McDonald’s and gives piano lessons from her in home studio. She received a piano performance major from University of Nebraksa in Lincoln.
Robbie lives in Kearney, NE and works at Complete Nutrition in Grand Island. Matt, our youngest, will be a junior in high school and plays football. We love living in Nebraska.
Being in Nebraska, we are Husker fans!
My greatest passion lies in desiring to walk with Jesus in a greater way, helping others do the same, and to see our church ministry grow. This also involves understanding more about “how” this all works and helping others to see God at work in their lives.
My home business is getting started from a desire to provide for my family from the home – works with my schedule. For several years, I was the assistant store manager of a grocery store in Gothenburg, NE and worked that job with my two churches. I am now working at this and serving the churces.
If I need help with anything, it would be in the area of understanding more how to market my business more effectively with social networks and with blogging. I am hoping to have my new wordpress website up and running soon so I can include blogging with my website.
Thanks again for allowing me to promote myself.
Have a great day!

Hi Adrienne!
I truly appreciate the opportunity you are giving us here!
Anyway, here is my information ..
My name is Timo Kiander and I live in Finland.
I have been blogging soon 9 months and when I started out, my niche was “personal development for online entrepreneurs”. I blog at timokiander.com
Now I have changed the focus of my blog and I blog about online business productivity and time management. Obviously the personal development theme is very strong still (on the background), but I wanted to truly follow my passion which is all about productivity.
I help people to become more productive – especially if you have an online business while having a day job – by providing help in the form of free reports/e-books, weekly written blog content, weekly video tips. Also, every 3rd week I’ll publish a podcast too.
Later this year I about to create my first product (probably an e-book) and at some point, move to services and coaching too (haven’t thought about the topics yet …).
I’m building my blog so that I earn my living through it – full-time.
Anyway … thanks for giving a chance to promote myself
Cheers,
Timo

Congratulations for hitting the nine month mark. I can sympathize with you about changing directions, I’ve done the same thing myself as have a lot of people. As long as you are following what you enjoy doing the most that’s all that matters.
Looking forward to seeing what product you’ll be creating. Please do keep us informed.

Hi Adrienne and fellow comment readers,
So glad I found your site – I’m really looking forward to learning more about navigating this online world through your friendly videos!
And thanks so much for the opportunity to introduce myself and my blog. I recently began blogging at Wellness the Natural Way – mostly about herbal healing, and natural ways to health and well being. I am an herbalist and owned an herb and gift shop for 19 years. But my true dream all along was to be a writer. After I sold my business I returned to school for training in journalism and writing (and learned lots more along the way!)
Now I’ve found a way to merge my two passions and I’m having a ball sharing my knowledge with others. My blog talks about practical and easy natural healing tips for busy people who don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on natural healing. I’ve also got some great recipes and fun ideas for the DIY crowd.
If this interests any of you, come pay me at visit at http://wellnessthenaturalway.com. I’d love to ‘see’ you there.
I’m still climbing the tech learning curve and figuring out how to have an online presence. Would love to network with any like minded folks.
Cheers!

This is really great! Good platform and innovative, my compliments! Well My name is Rusty Purkiss and I have lived abroad more than I have been home and most of the work that I have done has been humanitarian aid work, volunteer, worked with young people, administered a small school, and now am working in marking in Italy with one foot back home to be as close to my aging dad as I can be. I have more ideas than a dog has fleas and have a hard time figuring our which one to scratch first!
Marketing in Italy is way far behind the times and so there is a LOT of potential here in that are so, I am working to help get some interested parties caught up and doing my own catching up too! In the meantime I have taken up blogging and am interested in writing a book that takes a more international perspective on the world today. I have been making a lot of new and fantastic friends and so I am happy to make your acquaintance as well!
My Blog deals with life issues on a various topics, I share about the workplace, parenthood (I have 6 grown kids and 2 grandchildren) I sometimes dabble in social and moral issues and border on politics.
I have appreciated getting to know fellow bloggers and am always in the market for a lesson! Thank you for your site that I find extremely helpful and thank you for your Tweet message! I look forward to remaining in touch!

I hope you make it back this way soon to spend more time with your Dad. I lost mine 8-1/2 years ago and I worshiped every moment I had with him. We were very close so I’m thrilled I was always here for him. No regrets!
You’ll have the chance to meet some more pretty awesome bloggers over here at my place as well so have fun socializing. I’ll be by your place soon to say hello.

Hello Adrienne and thanks for the opportunty to promote what I am doing.
My name is Aaron Myers and I have yet to meet anyone who did not want to learn another languaage. My writing at The Everyday Language Learner (http://www.everydaylanguagelearner.com) is all about helping regular people take convenient steps toward becoming a language learners – no matter the language. After you visit the blog to see it for yourself, check out The Ten Week Journey, a free email series designed to walk you into a life of language learning. (If you have any friends that have always talked about wanting to learn another language but have never really gotten started, this is the program for them.)
And be sure and read my free guide to help you think more about how to create, maintain, and protect your motivation, commitment and attitude toward learning. You can find that guide at the site or at this link: http://bit.ly/kr7NSH
My big project is the up and coming September 1st release of The Everyday Language Learner’s Guide to Getting Started. I would love to build more buzz about this and you can read a bit more about it here: http://bit.ly/oC69tx If you have any new ideas about getting the word out or want to help promote it yourself, I would appreciate it much. And if you are a blogger, I would love to send you a free copy of the guide to look over and read. Just let me know!
Well that is a bit about my work at The Everyday Language Learner. You can read more about me personally here: http://bit.ly/e8b7gi
Thanks so much Adrienne for the opportunity to share here. If you ever have any questions about language learning, please let me know. I hope many will stop by EDLL and that I too can become a “must read” blog like yours.
Take care and have a wonderful day,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing more about you with my readers. Of course you know that I recently learned about you over at Benny’s blog with that fabulous guest post you wrote. I’m sure you could tell by my comment just how blown away I was with your post. What an amazing young man you are. I’m so thrilled you stopped by and shared more of what you do with us.
You might get a kick out of this but the only time I was interested in learning another language was when I was in my 20′s and I worked at the steel mill. Most of the guys that worked for us, not all but a good bit, were hispanic. They would always talk about me right in front of my face and I never knew what they were saying. I wanted to learn the language SO bad so that I could come back and shock them big time. My boss knew the majority of what they said and he wouldn’t repeat it, if you know what I mean. Other than that, I’ve never had the urge to learn another language. Maybe some day when I’m able to travel more. But i know who to come to now.
Thanks again Aaron for sharing this with us. Have a splendid day my friend.

Hi Adrienne,
Introduce yourself
My name is Jimmy Tong and I am from sunny, hot and humid Singapore. If you love food, we have it all here. If anyone is dropping by in town, let me know, I can be your free tour guide and you will get to savour the best on offer.
* What do you do
I am PE teacher by training, but now I am working with my ministry of education HQ. Sports is a prime interest of my life, but lately I am more aligned to becoming a better person.
* What are you passionate about
My own personal development journey has taken me on a really fun and exciting ride so far. See I was actually coasting as a teacher for a long time (15 years), but a series of financial crisis has forced me to turned inwards. That was where my self development journey began two years ago. Now, I know teaching with the government is no longer for as I believe I can contribute more in the personal development field. I have started my humble company – Life Architects at mylifearchitects.com. In time, this will be replacing my full time job.
* Do you need any help or do you offer help
This is where I need help. I am not so proficient in the blogging world. But I guess using blog to reach out to people is the way to go. Eversince my aha moment, I realized that I am gifted speaker and writer. I used to cringe at both. Now I relish opportunities to write and speak. If anyone could, do give me advice on how to improve my blog, market myself for personal development and generally how to make my business works.
* Promote yourself
Like I said, I am a gifted speaker and writer. I can create content for personal development real fast. In fact, I have done up lots of marketable content for seminars and books. This is through all my training and books I have read, plus a touch of panche from me. Look out for these products, many will be for free and I hope you can help pass the word around. At the moment, I am just organize my materials for publication and release.
Well, hope to hear from anyone real soon. I am cosmically charged at the moment.

Sounds like you are on the right road my friend. I have no doubt everything will fall into place for you. I look forward to visiting your blog and checking out what you are doing. I love the blog name, Life Architects, that’s great.
Thank you again and enjoy your day!
I became really sick about 2 years ago and the doctors could not heal me. I was constipated, had loss of energy, and bloated. I went to my doctor several times and had several test ran but nothing came back. I was diagnosed with GERD, IBS and a whole assortment of ugly diseases. The doctors prescribed the purple pill, Nexium $100 a month, and a slew of others. I finally tried alternative medicine. What I learned shocked me! I had a parasite infection, probably had it since I was a kid, it just became an infection as I got older and my immune system weakened. We all have parasites! We worm our pets but have you ever been wormed? I hadn’t. I think that should be the first treatment before all the other diagnosis. That is why a veterinarian always tests for parasites first then looks for others problems. I had to get a good parasite medicine and real good nutrition products to help me on the road to recovery. I juiced and I like to juice only that it is time consuming and cost a lot for the nutrition I needed. That was when I found AIM. In 2 months I was healed and back in the saddle again! I became a believer. AIM does not sale in retail stores or does the AIM company advertise. The company decided over 38 years ago to sale their high quality, every ingredient tested for purity products through their customers. That people like me who experienced a great and wonderful healing from the products could make money selling their products instead of giving it to the advertisers. They have a great compensation plan. Taking AIM is a win-win situation! Check out my website and contact on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube as innanas. http://goo.gl/LRJYs Thanks in advance! Thank you Adrienne for your wonderful site, YouTube, Twitter and Blog! Love your stuff.

Hi Terri,
Thank you for sharing that with us and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that at all.
Back in 2005 I went through something similar but the first thing they tested was for parasites. My immune system had been so low after the loss of my Dad that I ended up with ulcers. Was really sick for five months. Nexium is what cleared that up for me after it took them two months to figure out what was wrong. I can sympathize with what you had to go through but I’m thrilled to hear that you found AIM to help you. Testimonials are the best thing for sharing products.
I appreciate you stopping by and thank you for sharing that with us. Hope you’ll be back again soon.

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you so much for inviting me to your blog! I love it and I love this idea of sharing what we are doing! My blog is actually in the middle of a new header so it isn’t where I want it just yet, but I would still love to share it with you.
I love to write and travel. I just returned from a year living abroad in Costa Rica and have since decided that along with writing, I would love to help others edit their pieces. My website is juliatarquinio.com Please take a look and of course leave a comment or two letting me know what you think. Don’t judge by my header though! haha Hopefully it will be done soon and I can help promote who did it since I know he is working hard and it will turn out great! It was great meeting you!

Hi Julia,
I just got me a new header about three weeks ago so I can relate to that Julia. I have no doubt it’s going to look wonderful. But as a lot of my blogging friends have told me, they come for the content more than the overall look. Was sure happy to hear that!
I bet you had a wonderful time living in Costa Rica. What fun to pick up and just travel to different countries to live. I hope to do more traveling in the future.
I appreciate you sharing with us more about you and what you do. I’ll be sure to stop by and read one of your posts and I promise not to judge by the header.
Enjoy your day and thank you again.
My name is Jeannie Walker.
My debut novel, a true crime story, “Fighting the Devil” is a BOOK OF THE YEAR SILVER AWARDS WINNER in True Crime & 2011 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS TRUE CRIME FINALIST.
I studied creative writing in New York and Connecticut and is a member of the International Association of Writers. I am an avid reader of mystery novels, and the wife of a murdered Texas millionaire, for whom I wrote “Fighting the Devil”. I became a real-life Sherlock Holmes to help solve his murder.
I am speaking for my ex-husband, who no longer has a voice. I owe him a voice. I am writing the words in my book to tell you the blood-curdling details of his murder and the search for justice afterwards.
“Fighting the Devil” was published in 2010. The award winning true crime story is about the arsenic poison murder of Walker’s ex-husband, Wichita Falls, Texas millionaire rancher, Jerry Sternadel, and the subsequent Clay County murder trial of his bookkeeper, Debra Lynn Baker. I felt compelled to write the book. “I owe my ex-husband a voice, as he no longer has one. When I see injustice, I want to fight it. I am continuing that fight now by raising new awareness of my ex-husband’s case, which is still an open murder case.”
It is my hope that fans and readers of crime stories have an appreciation of the pain, trauma, and grueling battle for justice that the family and friends of real-life victims experience.
“I want everyone to realize that if their lives are ever touched by anything as horrific as a murder, they have the ability and right to become their loved one’s advocate, and to become their own, real-life Sherlock Holmes, if necessary. It is my hope that victims of crime no longer remain damaged or destroyed by whatever circumstances that were out of their control, but rather become stronger and more confident in controlling their life and claiming their rights. As a victim, myself, I know how hard it is to keep trying. If any of you are victims, please don’t give up! We all have to fight the devil every day of our lives, but we don’t fight the battle alone. God will walk beside us and carry us if we become too weak to carry on.”

Hi Jeannie,
Welcome to my blog and thank you SO much for sharing this with us.
I want to congratulate you on your success with your novel but at the same time, I’m so very sorry that this was written due to the personal nature of the crime itself. I can understand wanting to see justice for your ex-husband and I can’t even imagine what he had to go through knowing what was happening to him. I do hope that justice is served.
I use to read true crime novels ALL the time. I was recently in a movie filmed locally here called “The Toy Box” based on the true story of the serial killer, David Parker Ray. That story has never been told and the movie should be released hopefully next month. A charity was formed to help victims of such horrible crimes as well. Although it was a gruesome story to be told, the victims never got a voice.
I appreciate you sharing this with us Jeannie and I look forward to reading your blog. Thank you!
First let me say thank you, Adrienne, for inviting me to post on your site. It is my belief that helping others benefits everyone involved, and your help is much appreciated!
My name is Aileen Stewart, I am the author of Fern Valley-A Collection of Short Stories http://amzn.com/1617395277 which is for children 8-12. Fern Valley has been reviewed on National Geographic Kids Book Blog http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/dogeared/2011/08/fern-valley.html and has received a five star review from Readers Favorites http://readersfavorite.com/review/4151 .
Fern Valley teaches children about fun, family, and friendship with a host of interesting characters like Roberta and Mildred Cornstalk, some pretty amazing chickens; twin rabbits, Tommy and Abigail Bigpaw; Kimmy Curlytail, the cute pig with six brothers; and many more.
I believe it is extremely important for children to learn to read well early on and my motto “Kids Who Read Can Do Anything” expresses this. Besides writing I also volunteer at my daughter’s school and my local library.

Hi Aileen and welcome to my blog. I appreciate you sharing with us more about you.
I love that you are an author, I admire people who have taken that road. I know a few more now from meeting them through the social media sites.
Congratulations on being recognized by the National Geographic Kids Book Blog. I bet that’s a pretty big deal.
Thank you again for sharing this with us and everywhere we can locate you. I’m sure others will find this very helpful.
Adrienne
Adrienne, let me begin by thanking you for this tremendous opportunity. We have only recently connected through Twitter and I’m looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with you!
My name is Carol Deckert and I am a coach – a networking expert/coach! I can help you prepare your profiles for each of the online networks and help you develop your networking plan as a critical part of your marketing plan.
Offline networking is very important as well. As a coach I cover any and all online/offline connection activities and can help you effectively and efficiently build your business using networking techniques to netweave your business activities! I can help you setup and maintain your online profiles, assist you in determining which online groups/networks would be appropriate places to participate; show you how to participate in forums; how to use Twitter, how to invite connections and accept connections in LinkedIn and a myriad of other social networking activities. I’ll work with you as long as it takes for you to feel comfortable with it. If you feel it is too much to handle, I will also help you find a Virtual Assistant and assist in training the VA to work with you.
I am available to coach individuals and/or groups and my coaching takes place either over the telephone or via email.
I operate a face-to-face mastermind/networking group, Referrals Unlimited Network (RUN) currently in Lancaster, PA. A group like no other, RUN not only focuses on networking, but more importantly, the education needed to make lasting business relationships. We also have 1 meeting per month that focuses on each of the members during our Mastermind Sessions. RUN also operates a LinkedIn group, a closed group for members only, for discussion and assistance of any business problems during the time between meetings.
Future plans include developing other areas for RUN groups to be established and I’m looking for facilitators to handle the meetings in other areas. RUN is an exclusive membership-based organization so there is only one person per category able to be a member. RUN promotes cooperation, not competition. Members that participate in RUN are there because they WANT to be there – RUN only accepts the “best of the best.”
Do you know the term “Netweaving?” Netweaving is the next step in networking – making your connections solid – by offering to help others before expecting a payback to yourself! How do you build a business by doing that? Hire me and we’ll explore the ways that will work best for you!
My target market for both my coaching business and for face-to-face networking groups includes entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, coaches, consultants and other small businesses.
My personal network is large and I have worked very hard to get to this point. My clients and my membership group members benefit from my network as I am able to make many different kinds of connections and introductions.
My marketing includes referrals, word-of-mouth, and public speaking both online and offline. Online, I participate in many networking groups and forums; co-moderate LinkedIn Power Women (LIPW); and Executive Females (all LinkedIn Groups)
I’m very active on:
FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/caroldombachdeckert
FaceBook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/runlancaster
Twitter http://twitter.com/caroldeckert
I have several other blogs under construction an online international membership site for RUN; and I will be posting information regarding my networking coaching services and related topics soon.
Products in development stage for 2011 and 2012
• Networking/Netweaving E-Book
• How to get LinkedIn E-Book
• Teleseminars on Social Media, Networking and Small Business Marketing
• Newsletter/Ezine
• Online Membership site – Referrals Unlimited Network (RUN) International
Education in networking programs for high school and college-level students as well as entrepreneurs world-wide.
Having said that, how can I make YOU smile today? What can I do to help you?

Thanks Adrienne! You have a great place here.
I’m a mom, with 7 kids, 2 left at the house. I love the outdoors, nature, photography, graphic art, and anything creative. The internet has a way of pulling me in, so much to learn, so many opportunities. I have found that many others my age are intimidated by technology. I love to teach others how to use it.
For those who forget birthdays or would like an easy way to send the coolest greeting cards (not ecards) I send them to http://GetYourCardsHere.com
I have several blogs, and found them a great way to share information, to even store information for my own use. I can always find my blog. Along my journey I found others wanting to learn how to do what I had done. Could they have a blog too? Absolutely! (I’m a wordpress fan)
Not only did that first blog (http://connectsimply.com) bring me clients for my greeting card business, but requests from friends to build them a site (for pay) and teach them to use wordpress. Most of these were babyboomers and were thrilled with the freedom having their own blog gave to their business. I bumped into a lady one day who sold educational dvd’s and had been waiting 6 months for her web guy to update her site with the new dvd’s she’d already been selling on Amazon. So thankful for wordpress that owners don’t have to wait on someone else to get their stuff out to the public immediately.
There are many wordpress tutorial sites out there, yet friends continued to want my help. I needed time to develop my own blogs, and grow my greeting card business. Solution was http://wordpress101forboomers.com where I’ve been adding many tutorials to get a wordpress site up and running. They can read and ask questions or pay me for my time. Anyone who wants a wordpress site should have one.
Meanwhile we bought 4 acres, a beautiful spot, oak trees and beech trees, so huge I can’t reach all the way around them and a spring fed creek. We are in the process of adding a food forest garden and a shop with living quarters.
My clients are: those who’d love to use greeting cards to brighten a friend or customer’s day and those who’d like to have a wordpress site customized for their needs.
Two of my new websites will accept guest posts. Wordpress site on subjects such as seo, social media, online marketing as I’m only focusing on wordpress. The other site is http://boomerempowerment.com
which will take guest posts on topics helpful to boomers. Neither have much traffic yet being new, the wordpress site has the most, and it will grow.
Thanks again and great to meet everyone.

Thank you Heidi for sharing more about you and what you do with us. My goodness you do have your hands full. How do you find the time to have all those sites, maintain them plus work your business? I find it difficult finding the time for what I do let alone keep up with all those sites.
I’m thrilled to see that you are helping other baby boomers. I hate when people take advantage of them so it’s music to my ears when I hear that you take the time to help. I also have a free training site that teaches everyone a lot of the basics in so many different areas so if any of them need additional help in other areas, be sure to send them over here.
Thank you again for sharing and you have a wonderful day!
Twitter: Heidi_Caswell
September 28, 2011 at 11:19 AM
Thanks, I’ll check out your training site. Time is an issue thus the more narrow focus. Time is also the reason for the site, I’d found myself spending too much time helping others with their sites instead of building my own. I only take a few clients anymore, others can use the free tutorials.
A friend won a website for her business. It was a basic wordpress site, 3-5 pages, no blog. She asked for the admin login and they said no way. It was too complicated for clients to edit their own sites. If she wanted any changes, she’d have to email them and within a day or 2, after payment, they’d update her site. Too complicated to add/edit content to a page?!!!!
Twitter: adriennesmith40
September 28, 2011 at 11:59 AM
I’m sure some of your friends or clients might find it useful. Appreciate you taking a look.
That is the same reason I created my training site. People kept asking me for help and I just did not have the time to show them because I felt they needed to learn this themselves. I’m not a techie kind of person but I learned this so I know others can as well.
I had the same thing happen to a friend of mine. She paid a guy to create a blog for her and two months later she still had no blog. She paid him a fortune so she called me. I had her blog up in a weeks time because of domain transferring, hosting, etc. issues but she can now log-in and do it herself where this other guy was going to continue to charge her. Another reason I created my site. That kind of thing gets my skin to boiling Heidi.

MY name is Antwan White,
I’ve been doing Network Markerting online for a short time. And loving it I enjoy meeting new people all over the world thanks to the power of the internet the world has become a lot small.
I do have about 9 years experence in sales marketing offline And did not have much success until now.
I’ve had a mission my entire life to help people. I believe working online is the best way to accomplish my goals and Dreams.
What excites me most about this system is that people can join for Free, share it with others, and make money. I think that is so awesome!
Right now I am referring everyone I know to Better Web Builder and they are doing the same. It’s simple and fun. And Better Web Builder can easily go viral for you as well.
The way I look at it is that it’s sort of like getting a piece of everyone in Face Book, MySpace, or Twitter, they are all free programs that offer a great service. Only problem is you can’t make money with them. Here you can!
I wish you the best.

For more details on the article submission one can take a look at the “Write for DMC” page on my site.
It has been a pleasure to make this acquaintance with you and hope we can build our businesses and blogs together to a far extent.
Thanks for letting this wonderful opportunity for me to let myself know to your friends and followers.

Hello Adrienne – Thanks for letting us brag about ourselves a bit on your blog.
I just wanted to add more information to my already “shame-less promotion”. I started a new website – http://www.techivy.com a few days back. My other website DMC was more about a generic niche with anything and everything around the world. I wanted to start something which had a specific niche and what better than technology!!! Hence the birth of this new website and I hope I can do well in this ever-growing and competitive blogging niche.

Feel free to follow me on all or any of these websites and do provide your suggestions for any improvement.

Hey Praveen,
Glad you stopped by today to share this with us.
So that’s your new site. I saw it in your link the other day but when I visited the blog you weren’t the author of that particular post. I was very confused and couldn’t find who the owner was of the blog. I think you need to put an “About Me” section and let everyone know you are the owner because when I visit a site with a bunch of different bloggers posting I can’t really connect with any one person so I move on. That’s just me but you might want to give that some consideration.
I like the site though, you did a good job and I like your daily morning coffee blog but you share a lot of topics I can’t sink my teeth into. Glad to hear you’re going this direction. Bravo!
Thanks for sharing this Praveen and enjoy your weekend.

November 4, 2011 at 6:15 PM
Haha. Ok, ok. I’ll share. But remember, you asked for it.
First let me say that this was exactly what I was referring to about your attitude. I love it. I’m going to have to start a page like this at my site.
I have a long story, but the basics are as follows. I started blogging and developing websites in 1996. (Before it was called blogging of course.) Along the way I picked up online marketing – particularly search and content marketing. I’ve been working with organizations under the radar for some time. I’ve been both full-time and part-time since I’m one of those can’t-make-up-my-mind-because-I-have-a-lot-of-passions type guys.
In addition I started podcasting and vid casting in 2007. What I really love is teaching, so podcasting is a natural fit.
Until recently I haven’t promoted myself online. My business has all been word-of-mouth. The reason for this is because I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do. Search engine marketing, and building online businesses is fun and I’m very familiar with it, but I’m not as passionate about it as I am teaching in general.
I decided to take my top passions and start teaching and helping others. Developing businesses online, education, and those things you’re not supposed to talk about in mixed company (Theology, Philosophy and Politics).
My business podcast is the Online Business Hour Podcast. I started by doing a series on blogging that will likely go on for another month or two. It’s very in-depth. I release two episodes a week. At the end of this series I will be releasing an eBook on Blogging. I’m focusing on both individual and business blogging.
I also own a digital publishing company in the education field. We publish reading comprehension curriculum.
I hope to start podcasts covering education and practical theology in the next 6-12 months. We’ll see how it goes.
Whatever I do, I will be teaching through blogs and podcasting.
Thanks for the opportunity to

November 4, 2011 at 6:58 PM
Well Adam, this is what this post is all about. I wanted some place that my new friends can shamelessly promote themselves all they want. I think it’s also a great place for others to scan though and see what people are up to and if they happen to be searching for a particular service, this is a great place to start. I think it will benefit everyone. So glad you like the idea and might implement this over at your place too.
Wow, you have had your hands in a lot of different things but it certainly sounds like teaching is your passion. I say so with what you’re most passionate about because it will never get old. I have no doubt that your programs help a lot of people learn.
Thank you Adam for stopping back by and sharing this with us. Now didn’t that feel good?
Enjoy your weekend now!

Hello Adrienne,
This is honestly an awesome idea for a post/page. I think I will use this idea soon on my own blog.
Hi everyone, my name, as you can probably see above is Giles Wells III and I’m 22 years old.
I grew up and still live in the capital city of The Bahamas, which is Nassau. As a tropical nation it usually always sunny except for those rare hurricane days/weeks.
But how can I complain when have we almost 300+ days of beautiful sun
I’ve recently got myself into Internet Marketing and build myself a blog @ giles-wells.com
It’s very challenging, but also very fun and I truly LOVE the idea of owning my own business. I’ve learned from my job as an assistant at a cooperate law firm just how beneficial it can be to start a business.
Web Design has always been a hobby of mine so I know my way around a computer and being young doesn’t hurt either.
I’m a social media enthusiast and user. I see just how much social media has effected the world’s commerce and plan to take full advantage of it.
Thanks so much for letting me introduce myself to you and your readers Adrienne.
And to everyone, thank you for reading and feel free to check out my humble blog. If you let me know in the comments you passed by, I’ll stop by your site to leave a thoughtful comment.

Hi Giles,
Glad you like this post and I’m sure your readers will really appreciate having a place they can come to introduce themselves to others as well. It’s a great place to find people if you need certain services too.
I appreciate you taking the time to share with us more about you and what you are doing these days. I’ve visited your lovely island a few times so I understand not really being able to complain about your fabulous weather. Those pesky hurricanes though, aren’t they a nuisance? We’ve had our share as well so I understand what you are saying.
I’m thrilled to hear that at such a young age you are taking the initiative to start something for yourself. Sounds like you are in the perfect position so I wish you the best of luck and I will be by later to check out your blog.
Thanks again Giles and hope you are looking forward to what’s in store for this week.

It breaks my heart that people would do that to other people so I admire your drive and determination to speak out against such abuse. Thank you for coming back by and sharing that with me.

Hi Adrienne,
Well, very nice to meet you first. You seem like a great person. I just met you through my online buddy Barry Wells. As you say, social networking is great and it allows you to meet people you would have never met otherwise.
To introduce myself, I am an internet marketer/blogger, a writer and a life coach. I own 7 blogs but really right now I have got the time for only 4 of them and, that’s tough still! I have started both my interest in internet marketing and life coaching back in 2005 and really started early 2006. However, I’ve been writing just about my all life.
Oh, yes, by the way! I am not form here (the U.S) I was born and raised in France. When I say raise I should say I moved to the US as an adult so, English is definitely NOT my mother tongue but, I managed to dominate the language and just about all my writings are in the English language.
I am passionate with what I do really, writing, blogging, helping others and, the personal development field. I also love animals, especially cats.
Like anyone, I would love more traffic on my blogs and can always use traffic advice. In return I can give you some writing advice or help you unlock your subconscious mind for a more successful life. (When I say “you” I mean anyone).
Thank you, again , Adrienne for this great blog. I will be back for sure.

Wow, I bet you are one busy lady Sylviane. And I thought I had a lot going. 7 blogs that you write regularly on? That would be hard for me to handle and earlier this year I had two I was keeping up with. Writing regularly and promoting that is. Very time consuming.

Hi Adrienne,
It’s me Aleh, again – I’ve been a commenting pest today havent I
What I do – I co-own a company that makes SEO tools for bloggers, webmasters and search marketing pros. The company is called Link-Assistant.Com. The tools are called SEO PowerSuite, and I am proud to say that we’ve been making it happen since 2004 with $0 venture funding – just pure programming and programming, and more programming (I am a statistician by training, a web developer by profession, and a search marketer by passion – oh my it rhymes!).
We made SEO PowerSuite to help ANY site or blog get found online – which is why we have Free tools for folks just starting out online, Professional tools for webmasters getting a bit more serious about SEO and Enteprise level tools for guys making a living out of SEO and SEM.
Judging by 200K+ users, Forbes and Wall Street Journal mentions, and industry endorsements by SEO Book and Search Engine Journal, we aren’t doing too shabby – but hey we can always do more, right?: make more great tools (new launches coming up!), share our SEO tips with the world through our blog and help more people get found online with our tools.
So there you have my spiel – now you can put a human face to SEO PowerSuite. So, when you go try our tools and read our blog, a Gravatar image of a bespectacled smiley guy will come up and you’ll say – “aah that’s Aleh from Link-Assistant.Com”!

Hi Adrienne,
Great to visit your blog again.
I began Internet Marketing in the belief that the Internet was paved with gold, or so I was told, and if I bought this program, or that program, I would find that gold easily. So I bought this program and that program, and guess what. I came to realise how dumb I had been, and the Internet is not paved with gold to find at the click of a mouse button.
Now I try to market responsibly. I don’t want to see lots more people falling into the same trap as me. I will not promote any program which promises anything which can’t be delivered, or is not sustainable and I am in the research stage of creating my own product which I hope will be of benefit to all Marketers.
I may even come out from behind the violet and create a video.
Thankyou for this great resource my good friend, and I promise not to keep haranguing you about how to use Windows Movie Maker.

Hi Adrienne,
I LOVE meeting other Adrienne’s so thank you SO much for stopping by and sharing with us more about you.

Glad to hear you love fashion so I bet being with Mary Kay is right up your alley. I wish you the very best of luck with that so if anyone needs those product, Adrienne is your woman!
Have a beautiful day and thanks again.

Hi Adrienne! =)
I’m Timons Cabansi I come from the Philippines which is a paradise but also a very poor nation, I’m a newbie affiliate marketer and blogger but mostly I am focus now on bombarding myself in enhancing my affiliate marketing skills and finding good niches.
My goal and passion now for this year and more years to come, is to connect with people who have the real knowledge and skills in Internet Marketing because it will provide me a good start to enhance myself and also to help other people, who is struggling (a bit like me) in Internet Marketing.
Every people wants now to find creative ways to be financially free, or to have extra money, for the goal to survive, to provide, to be happy, finding that pleasure, and sometimes or always will take a little or BIG money to be able to get it.
That is why I am making my very first steps of persistent to be financially free and helping other people and always be grateful to it, of how others help me and how I have help, but I am being too much preachy right now hmmm for those who wants to start a career or to create more money in affiliate marketing, I just have found a very good site that proves to be helpful and also a newbie proof way to start, here is the link http://tinyurl.com/GoodCash2U
I have also made a blog about it for you to understand on what is the site is all about and how can you benefit unto it. For more other information you need to ask just tweet me at my ID @Thaimonz. :=)

Hi Timons, welcome. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself to all of us and let us know more about you and what you are doing.
So welcome to affiliate marketing and blogging. You sound like someone who is on a mission to succeed and I admire that. If I may make a suggestion. If you want to learn how to truly build a solid business in affiliate marketing, you need to hop over to Steve Scott’s blog and read what he shares. He also has his own product teaching you how to build a solid business and he’s proof of just how successful you can be. If you want to do this right, learn from someone who is already there. The link to his blog is http://www.stevescottsite.com/.
Best of luck to you. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Adrienne, thanks so much for the invite to come and promote myself here! Lots of familiar names and faces in those 173 comments above. I found you through Benny, then Twitter, now your blog (which I need to spend more time perusing). I am relatively new to the world of social media and blogging. My corporate day job is in environmental engineering, but my passions truly lie in music (particularly Brazilian choro, samba and bossa nova), travel, and foreign language learning. I started my blog as a means of expressing creativity through writing and getting more about this musical niche out into the world, thanks to inspiring folks like yourself. I have bigger plans for a project I am working on that will merge these passions into a platform for positive social change around the world, so stay tuned! Thanks again Adrienne, see you in the blogosphere.

Ah, I do love Benny’s place and glad we connected through Twitter now. I’ll have to visit your blog and see what you are sharing. I bet it awesome and has some great tunes I’ve never heard before. So you’ll be introducing me to your culture. I look forward to that.

Hi Adrienne,
I’m a writer and I blog about a diverse range of subjects on Wordpress. I intend to host a Wordpress blog myself in the new year. Over the past year I have been thinking of subjects for a blog and improving my photography which has become an important part of the blog now. I have a lot of plans for the new blog next year and hope to something different. Everyone can find my blog at http://mike10613.Wordpress.com and will find something of interest!
Thanks for the opportunity to promote my blog. I also write for anyone that wants to pay me and even the occasional guest blog.

Twitter: Hire_Me_Dammit
December 19, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Hi Adrienne,
Thanks for the invitation to come here and show off. It’s been really interesting to read the comments of other folks who have done the same – I’m excited to get to know more of them.
At present:
I work with (for) Danny Iny at Firepole Marketing as a Generally Useful Person (assistant), which means I make videos, research things, do a little writing and editing – that sort of stuff. Danny is absolutely fantastic to work with, (you’ve seen The Devil Wears Prada, right?*) and I love what Firepole Marketing is doing. I’m in the very enviable position of having a day job I enjoy, which gives me the freedom to:
run a blog called Hire Me, Dammit, which deals with life on the low end of the professional food chain.
You see – there are a lot of blogs out there talking about building your career, starting your own business, improving your life and all that wonderful stuff, which are really valuable, and really useful, but that don’t go fully into how much doing all of that can suck.
Being a new freelancer is hard and thankless. An unestablished writer is basically the scum of the earth. Your entry-level office job is soulless and depressing. Food service is hell. A recent grad can be an extremely qualified barista. Internships are indentured servitude. It’s not always fun, it’s never easy, and sometimes it feels amazing to just bare all and say: this is f****ing bu*****it.
I believe really strongly that you can call something nonsense and still see the value in using it. So I try to provide useful information on how to navigate the murky waters in the bottom of the barrel, in the hopes that, eventually, you can get out of it.
I also write resumes (the language on my blog may be a little blue – but you’d better believe that I’m good with professional prunes and prisms) and do interview coaching. Over the past ten years I’ve managed to talk and write my way into almost thirty different job titles – most of which I was in no way qualified for, but knew I could do well at. I feel justified in saying that I am a professional bu****it artist.
That being said, my venture had better be successful, because now that my name is out there bashing the corporate world on a weekly basis, no one will ever hire me again.
I love, really love, helping people dig through their experience and skills, and coming up with a document that will get them where they need to be. Professional doesn’t have to be boring, and you can be totally sincere without taking things too seriously.
In my off-time I read, make candy, play board games, sew, cook and watch science fiction with my gorgeous fiancee.
*Of course I’m joking! Danny doesn’t wear Prada.

December 19, 2011 at 10:40 AM
Hi Megan,
So glad you took me up on my invitation and it’s a pleasure to meet you.
So you work for Danny. I bet that is an interesting job and of course I think he kind of rocks. I also love what he’s doing over at Firepole Marketing and now that I know you are his assistant, I’m going to enjoy it even more visiting now.
I’ll have to stop by your blog and check it out. Sounds like a great place to hang out.
Thanks for sharing this with me and my readers. I do enjoy getting to know everyone and I’m glad you stopped by and shared this with us.
Enjoy your day and Happy Holidays!

Hi Adrienne,
It is time for me to promote myself. I have just discovered this great opportunity you offer us. So, hereafter more information about me:
* Let me introduce myself:
My name is Lenia Evangelinou and I am from Greece.
* What did I do:
I have studied telecom engineering at the National Technical University of Athens and then I got a Master Degree from Telecom ParisTech in Paris.
I lived in Paris for the past 5 years. I initially worked in a consulting company (Niji) and then I worked for a big international telecom company (Orange Business Services) as a presales engineer.
In April 2011 decided to change my life. Thus, I started traveling around the world for 6 months. At the end of the trip I realized that my life in Paris was not the life I dream. I quit my job and I went back to Greece, my home country.
* What do I do:
I am currently living in Chios, an island of the Aegean Sea and I am working in order to realize my crazy life project: Work on line, live in Chios island, travel and be free to dream. I feel like doing a crazy thing because Greece is the middle of the worst financial crisis ever.
A month ago, I built Your life Your Choices – http://www.yourlife-yourchoices.com. It is a blog about ideas and tips to follow your passion and enjoy better your life. I also present the summary of some rare, extraordinary and challenging books that can change your life.
In parallel, I work in order to build a Greek company about Web Design and Internet Marketing. My company’s web site is http://www.webmarketing-greece.com.
* What am I passionate about
I am passionate about sports. My favorite sport activities are the following: capoeira, dance aerobic, step, jogging and swimming.
I also love traveling around the world, meet people and discover new cultures.
Furthermore, I like learning new languages. My mother tongue is Greek and I speak fluently French and English. I also have a basic level in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
* Do I need any help or do I offer help
I need help to learn the secrets of Internet marketing and increase the traffic of my websites. I find many useful information in your site and I really thank you for that.
If you are interested in traveling around the world, I am here! I can definitely help you!
If you are looking for life-changing books, then I invite you to visit my blog, Your Life Your Choices!
* Promote myself
I think I have already done it. Many thanks for this great opportunity.
Kind regards,
Lenia Evangelinou

Hi Lenia,
So glad you took me up on my offer and shared more about you with me and my readers. It seems that you have lived a very fascinating life so far. I say that because to me being able to travel a lot and visit other cultures is an education in itself. Then living in Paris for some time must have been exciting.
We have a family friend who is originally from Greece, a very small island but I have no idea what the name is. Boy, I sure love her baklava it’s the absolute best I’ve ever had. She’s a fabulous cook.
I’m glad my blog has been helpful with learning internet marketing. Be sure and check out my free training site as well. You’ll find a tab at the top of this blog.
I hope others will stop by and visit your place. This is a great way for my readers to learn more about you.
Thank you again and hope you are enjoying your day!

Hello,
I am Mike Cleveland, I like helping people build their business. I do this primary through my blog posts. But – I have not grown so big that I could not help on the phone, yet. I love networking with people. I use to always wonder what that really meant. Now, I know. It means meeting and starting relationship with others. God, we are so bless to be in an industry where it ok to be nice to people. “Cast your bread upon the waters, and it shall return back to you.” paraphrase version (mine)
I also am with the best business social network,MNP, as a IR executive. It’s like Facebook for business, but better. It’s like a big (300k membership worldwide) FB group for business-minded to people to network and promote their business. Unlike FB, your post goes out to the whole network and not to just you contacts. And because people are for there business networking you don’t have the restriction for sending friendship request. Still you can reject a request but, you don’t have a be a acquaintance, a friend , or a relative to send a request. What make this the best, is the people. You have 6 and 7 figure earners training and sharing their knowledge. Hey, the owner of network mingle with everyone and if you are nice to him, he might even talk to you on the phone. One other thing, you can get paid here too. If you would like to set up a free business profile and start promoting in my network go here and sign up. http://yoo.ph/2012

I can relate to what you said about networking. I didn’t have a clue what that really meant until having been here awhile. Dah! Slow learned I guess but so glade I did finally learn and sounds like you did as well.
Hopefully what you are involved in will be intriguing to others and you’ll find a few people joining. I wish you the best of luck with that and thanks again.

Hi Adrienne,
Hi guys! My Name is Colleen. I started blogging about 3 months ago. I Lost 120 lbs. about 2 years ago Though diet and exercise. I Took care of my Mom for 10 yrs. Mom had Multiple Sclerosis. After she passed, I was a little selfish, I took some time for me and got into shape. I have a blog now at http://www.dollysdaughter.wordpress.com called “A Work In Process” , I figure we all are that.
I know I am. I wanted to share my experiences in losing the weight and getting into shape with others hoping I can could help others find success. I am hoping to give back what I have been given along the way. It’s a health/Fitness/personal development blog. Blogging about everyday concerns, life family, Heart and soul as well because I think it’s all about the whole picture. It all matters. At the moment I am looking for work. Seriously thinking of becoming a Trainer though. I’m still working on me..Finding me.. Gee, Thank you for this chance to introduce myself and my blog Adrienne, what a nice gesture . Thank you 
See you back at Twitter 
Twitter: adriennesmith40
January 3, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Hi Colleen,
Thank you for taking this opportunity to introduce yourself to my readers. Wow, 120 lbs. what an accomplishment. I applaud you Colleen and you are just the person who can help others in this area.
I know that there are so many weight loss products on the market today but what we all appreciate more than anything is being taught by someone who has been through that. I have no doubt you’d be a terrific personal trainer but if you want to expand and do something online maybe you can think about coaching people on how to accomplish this goal and a lot of people need accountability partners. You could even shoot videos of the exercises and promote them through a course. Just a thought since you would be limited to your immediate area if you chose the personal trainer route.
On another note, I’m so sorry about your Mom. I’m sure she knew how much you loved her. You had every right to be selfish after taking care of her and she would probably want you to as well. May she rest in peace.
I look forward to visiting your blog so until then, have a wonderful day! See you back on Twitter.

Hi,
Thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself and share a bit here. You are a Powerhouse of great info and great posts with tons of real, authentic and workable tips.
I am a social worker and life coach. Recently ‘retired’ from the New York City public school system where I was an early childhood social worker for 20 years, I left to ‘move on’ and create more of my own interests at this point in time. I’m grateful to have the opportunity and ability to do just this.
I started my website/blog exactly one year ago – Jan. 2011. I’ve made some wonderful contacts and have had some great opportunities – ie. guest blogging, on-line radio interview, developing a few online relationships with real supportive and caring people. Thus far it’s been a very positive endeavor. I’m hoping to continue growing my blogging world.
My area of specialty is working with people in helping them overcome or rise above their adversities/challenges and create a good and meaningful life despite…. I’ve always been inspired by how some people can build and forge ahead despite their outer circumstances (while others succumb and fall victim to….). I love memoirs on this theme, stories, etc. Having said that, the highlight of my blog for me is my monthly interviews with people who exemplify this theme. I just completed my 12th interview, completing my first year of interviews. I’m proud of this and can say that being proactive and reaching out to strangers can get you places. I got all my interviewees pretty easily. I’m hoping to provide inspiration and hope to readers in the same way that I get uplifted when I read and hear about people being able to transcend their difficulties. I feel it teaches us all lessons in good living.
My site is: rebuildyourlifecoach.com Go to Blog and then there’s a tab for Interviews.
I also post twice a week.
One of my daughters miraculously survived a near catastrophic medical crisis. I as her mother feel as though I were given a second lease on life and so I search for good and meaningful things to do with ‘my miracle’. You can read about all this on my site. Thank you.

Congratulations on the interviews, that’s quite an accomplishment. I have no doubt you’ll be sharing even more uplifting stories with us throughout this year as well. I’ll look forward to reading those.
Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot.
I wish you all the best in 2012 so Happy New Year!

Hi, Adrienne! Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself.
I learned about you from one of Timo Kiander’s collective blog posts, and I said to myself, “hey, she really knows what she’s talking about”.
So…
I’m Peter Birlea, eternal student, dreamer, NLP Practitioner, currently training as a clinical hypnotherapist and – last but not least – blossoming online entrepreneur who’s had his share of failure and success in the world of e-marketing.
For the last six years, I’ve sold niche products on Clickbank on various aspects of Self-Development – and I’ve recently entered the Internet Marketing niche with good intentions and my new program, The Internet Marketing Mindset Optimizer. You can check it out at: http://www.mindsetoptimizer.com.
I’ve also started my blog at http://www.imoptimizer.com and am currently working on a membership site project.
That’s about it.
Have a great 2012 – I’ve just subscribed to your newsletter and I’m looking forward to hearing more from you.

Wow, sounds like you’ve had a lot going and I have no doubt you have been quite successful in all your ventures. Good to have someone stop by who has had some success in certain areas online. I’ll have to stop by and check out your blog. Will be sure to do that tomorrow.
Thank you again for sharing this with us and always a pleasure to meet new people. Here is wishing you a fabulous 2012 and may this be your best year ever. I’ll be in touch!

Thank you for creating this page and the opportunity to introduce myself and promote my business!
I’ve found your blog through Brankica’s blog like a start blog where she shares a list of blogs worth hopping. So I’ll definitely read through your blog and learn more about and from you.
I’ve been working online since January 2010. Looking back I’ve made a lot of mistakes during the two years primarily because of the wrong mindset (being an opportunist basically). At the same time I have learned a lot from some of the most awesome people on the internet.
Currently I’m working on building my blog sharing what I’ve learned in the two years. I want to grow my business, my personal life, and at the same time help other aspiring online entrepreneurs start an online business.

Hi Ron,
Welcome Ron and I’m happy to see you.
You are so welcome and just glad I was able to help.
Social media junkie huh! There are a lot of those who hang around my place that’s for sure. You’ll fit right in here. So glad you like this post and I just believe it’s a great way to get to know more people. You just never know right!
Thanks again and enjoy your week.
Business promotion is a vital aspect of business and something that you should spend time doing every day. Social bookmarking is getting very popular with the Internet Marketers. Social networking like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter is a great way to build relationship with people and generate targeted traffic to your business.

January 27, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Promoting yourself is what’s important because when you hide behind your business we aren’t able to get to know the person and in the end, isn’t that who we are purchasing from? I wish you would have shared with us more about who you are and what you’re about so maybe you’ll come back by and share that with us.
Until then, thank you and have a wonderful day!
Promoting yourself is good. What I am trying to say is that, those are possible ways to promote your business online. Creating a good reputation online and connecting people is on my top list.
Twitter: adriennesmith40
January 27, 2012 at 6:59 PM
But this is exactly why I created this page, for you to introduce to my readers more about who you are. Because people buy from people so you didn’t share anything with us about who you are and what why you’re online. That way my readers can get to know you better and perhaps be more interested in what you are all about.
Sorry bout that Adrienne. My name is Ashley I am an outdoor person. I mean I love exploring outside and meet the true challenge there. For me it’s just a way of adventure where you will be teaching lessons to be learned about life. As long as you learn how to cope up with it, then nothing to be worry about. That’s my own perception. In this life, you will face the good and bad times. Both will give you a chance to change your life into a better one.
I always give it my best shot in whatever I engaged myself with. It is to make sure that whatever result it may give me I will never regret it for I know that I give it my all. I am happy to say that as far as to date I am happy with the outcome of the things that I do. It is as if my life has been well planned. Things are flowing smoothly according the way I wanted it to be.

January 30, 2012 at 8:30 AM
You also need to put a little of you in the comments Ashley because that’s who we want to get to know. Sure, we all want to make money online but we prefer purchasing from people we have gotten to know and trust. So you need to create a blog and start interacting with other people online and then they will be more interested in what you have to share. Just a suggestion.
Have a wonderful day and a terrific week.

I’m Leslie Miller, an inventive freelance copy writer who right this very moment is learning how to break into magazine journalism. My main area of interest — personal and spiritual growth. Wish me luck!
Although I enjoy any kind of writing and have done loads of web content (all properly SEO’d, of course!) and ghost blogging, I love to learn new things and expand my scope, and am looking forward to this new challenge. Here’s my not-so-diry little secret — I’d really like to be a travel writer, and see the world on my editor’s dime.
Well sure, who wouldn’t?
I am halfway through an 8 week e-course on how to break into magazines. I’ve started my own blog chronicling my adventures with this — http://awritersquery.wordpress.com/. Read along and hear about all my challenges and hopefully, victories.

Hi Leslie,
Welcome to my blog and I’m happy to hear you took me up on my offer to share with me and my readers more about you and what you are involved in.
I will say right now that I wish you the very best of luck with breaking into magazine journalism. It sounds like you’re well on your way.
Being a travel writer does sound like an ideal job. I’ll be honest with you though, that wouldn’t be mine. Granted, I don’t have a family tying me down but I do have a dog and I just wouldn’t want to travel around and not have her with me. I know, I’m pathetic.
I’ll be sure to stop by your blog and check out what you’re sharing. Thank you for including that.
Glad you stopped by and have a wonderful day. Thanks again!

Hi Adrienne,
I am passionate about sharing information to prevent substance abuse and addiction. My focus is families with preteen to teenage children to help make parents aware of the dangers and pressures that teens face.
Most children do make healthy choices, but we are losing too many to this disease, and we can help with prevention. Parents can make a difference by talking to their kids early in their lives and talking often to help them understand why it is important to stay away from drugs and alcohol during their teen years and let their bodies and minds develop fully so they can make mature choices.
Let’s help our kids follow their dreams rather than going down this devastating road!

Hi Cathy,
Thank you for sharing this with us and I applaud you for bringing more attention to this subject. I think there are too many outside influences that our children are being presented with and parents need to understand that this is happening whether they’re aware of it or not.
I love your blog and how you are sharing your own experiences with everyone about this issue. I appreciate you for doing this and know that you have helped so many others. Thank you Cathy.

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for inviting me to this website. I will definitely RT to my followers once I’m done here. You are giving SO much to help others – which Bob Proctor says (I was just listening to a CD of his) is the key to abundance and raising your awareness (as well as your income, but, if you’re truly helping others, the income is just a secondary bonus to the psychic income of knowing you have changed the world in some little way). This is an AMAZING idea, and I’m glad you thought of it!
I do a lot of things, but my latest project that relates to my website (and there is a blog attached to my website, so that’s how I fit in here) is helping people gain access to attorneys on a regular basis for advice, contract review, letters and phone calls to companies treating us wrong, and many other legal services, affordably. This is one of my passions because, let’s face it, we’re in a sue-happy country. We live in a place where the big companies think that since they’re big and we’re little, we won’t fight back. I just feel empowered knowing I can do something (rather than pay a high-hourly cost) to protect my family’s rights.
Another one of my passions, as it sounds like is yours as well, is learning from others’ through motivational quotes and seminars (I did a blog on this one as well, which I haven’t done much on for the past year, http://lisasawesomeinspiration.blogspot.com). Travel, though I haven’t done much of it is another one of my passions. I did another blog on RVing (http://parkrvparks.blogspot.com), but that’s more of my husband’s passion than mine. Yet, one of my goals before I die is to travel 3 times a year, one time a year being an extraordinary trip (and, of course, having our kids in home-school, so we can accomplish that). Learning about different cultures, religions, countries, people in general is another passion of mine. Learning to become better has always been a passion of mine (self-help type books are mostly the books I read).
I’d like to focus on applying the help I’ve already received, so right now, I’m not looking for additional help. I’m sure as I get more consistent and focused, I may reach a plateau and may need help at that point (since I know there are no self-made millionaires – we all need each others’ help). Information overload is one of the downfalls of mine. I’ll ask when I need more help, thank you. I am willing to offer help with small business start-ups, some on social media, blogging tips (though I know my blogs aren’t professional- I know a lot more than I applied), can connect you to a team of lawyers. I wouldn’t consider myself an expert in most areas, but if I can, I’d love to help in any way that I can.

Hi Lisa,
Welcome and it’s a pleasure to have you here.
So glad that you took this opportunity to share with us more about who you are and what you enjoy doing. I wish I could take full credit for this little idea here but I’ve learned along the way and implemented a few things and this is one of them. But I really do love connecting with people and learning more about what they’ve got going on in their lives. I’m glad you took this opportunity to share more with us about you.
Sounds like you’ve been on busy lady but happy to hear that you are also on a mission to help others. I know we are a sue happy country unfortunately, sometimes it’s necessary I’m afraid. For the first time in my life about nine years ago was the first time I ever wanted to sue someone so very bad but found out after speaking with an attorney that I wouldn’t win. Boohoo!!! Oh well, it would have been hard putting my family through that but I understand the need at times I’m afraid.
So now I know who to come to if that need should ever arise again so thank you Lisa for sharing your site with us.
Hope you’re enjoying your day and hope to see you around again.

Hi Adrienne,
Thanks for the opportunity to share!
I’m the owner/editor/writer of Business Content PLR, which provides ready-to-use, customizable written content for people to use on their blogs/websites, marketing materials, and product creation. Everything is focused on helping others achieve business success, so it’s particularly useful content for business coaches, consultants and internet marketing service providers.
I focus primarily on business topics (thus the name), such as coaching, business management, marketing, internet marketing, goal-setting, and a growing list of other topics. I have a lengthening list of content I want to create for people.
Prior to starting this venture, I spent over 20 years designing and developing learning solutions for large corporations, so I’ve written about everything from communication skills and how to provide feedback to employees to customer service and how to get more referrals. However, in the last 2 years I also did my fair share of niche affiliate marketing as well.
My sites are:
http://www.businesscontentplr.com (for business content)

Stop by and visit sometime. Meanwhile, I’m going to head off and check out some of your posts and social networks!

People may think gift giving is trivial but some gifts that you give people will change their lives for the better. That’s why I want to really be of service to people who are looking to get a gift for the person they love and care for.

Hi my name is Kara and on my site I provide information about where to get training to become a home health aide, job information, schools etc. With the majority of the U. S. population reaching retirement age a career as a home health aide will be on the rise and becoming a health aide is a good way for someone to get entrance into the medical field without a college degree.

When I lost my job back in 2007, I interviewed to work at an assisted living facility because I love spending time with the elderly. Unfortunately, I was offered the position but it was not close to my home and as you can imagine, it didn’t pay very well. But I knew that would be a position I would thoroughly enjoy so I’m so happy to hear that your site provide information to help people who would like to enter into that field. I’ll have to stop by for a visit.
You are so very welcome and I appreciate you sharing with us more about you.

Well, Adrienne,
It certainly looks like you have a good thing going here. I have to admit that I have not looked through your blog + site as yet but will do. Thanks for the opportunity. There are a lot of great people out there and I find the best way to build (social capital) is by building trust. On-line trust, in my mind, is the most challenging of all. After all, with real face time you can tell a lot about someone but on-line you have to rely on what you can see.
It is tough to build connections. I takes time. A lot of time and perserverence. Anyway, likely all things everyone already knows. So, we are from the architecture + design field, in Canada, and are building a resource network for ANYONE to use which offers our perspective on leadership and management. I know, it’s a seemingly dry subject so we have spiced it up with some creative thinking (or at least we think so). C’mon by and we will surely be able to help each other grow and learn. That’s what it’s all about at http://theviewfromhere.ca
Thank you Adrienna for being social.

Welcome to my humble home and I’m glad you dropped by to share with my readers what you’re up to. I appreciate you letting us know what you are involved in and why you are here.
One thing that will help with that building up trust Ralph is for you to get your gravatar set up. People will be more comfortable approving comments when they can see who is visiting. A face goes a very long way when building up trust. Oh sure, there’s much more to it but it’s a start right!
Thank you again and I’ll drop by your place later. Enjoy your week!

Are you using the same email address every time you post? The Twitter photo is separate then your gravatar. Your gravatar is for posting on blogs like this one. You want to have a photo of you so we can connect with you much better. If you need to know how, go to the top of my page and click on the Commenting Rules tab. Scroll down that post a ways and I share with you how to get it set up.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for invite to share on your site. Building relationships is at the crux of it all, right? In my day life, I’m a social media marketing virtual assistant where I am fortunate to work with the best bunch of clients out there (and it gives the best excuse for Facebooking and tweeting all day long.) I’m also a serial entrepreneur with a bad habit of setting up new blogs and then not finding enough time to post on them all, but there’s so much out there that distracts me for my limited attention!
Currently, I’m posting about free and bargain priced ebooks at http://digireaderlounge.com and then I also post about the daily (comedic) trials and tribulations of motherhood – where we proudly proclaim we are not ‘those kinds of moms.’
And lastly, I’ve created a side arm business of selling Scentsy home and body fragrance products. I think of it as adventures in direct selling. (Hmmm, maybe another blog in my future?)
There are a couple more woefully neglected blogs that I have which I’ll not shame them here.
Looking forward to connecting further with you, Adrienne and your community.

There are OVER 200 Million Home Based Business Operators in the world and sooner or later they ALL WILL need this service…STIFORP. [PROFITS spelled backwards]
Here is an interesting fact…in the Yukon and California Gold Rushes, the people that made the MOST money were those who were selling mining tools, NOT the miners.
Now…the powerline shows you how FAST the company is growing because with this Pay Plan, everyone only has 2 front line positions in this fast filling company forced 2×14 Matrix and once when those two spots are filled, the ONLY place for everyone else to go is UNDER the ones who are already in there.

I am a single mom looking for a more creative existance. I am on a journey to find out what I want to be when I finally grow up. You see, the problem with me is that I am good at a lot of things and have a little career ADD. Nothing keeps my attention for long, but I’m determined to carve out a new prosperous life out of the remnants I have left behind.
A little about myself…I am a self-taught graphic designer and cake decorator. I recently started a cake decorating business, and opened up shop on Etsy (creativeedibles.etsy.com) to sell some of my fondant and gum paste toppers. I have also opened up a second Etsy shop (myprizedpossessions.etsy.com) where I sell vintage housewares.
I have recently started to become more active in social network sites, setting up shop on FB, G+, SU, Tumblr, Flickr, and so on. Unfortunately, I’m a novice and am still trying to work through all of the massive amounts of information available on the web. Well, that’s how I found your site. I have stuck around in hopes that I can get some valuable info.
Any suggestions for growing my business (to the point where I can actually pay all of the bills) will be greatly appreciated.

Ampi,
I just looked at both your Etsy sights. I love your vintage finds. Very nice. One thing for the kind of business you are in, is the visual presence you are making. I did not see a link to pinterest. I would encourage you to read this. http://hungouttobuy.com/2012/04/18/four-pinterest-practices/ I would also encourage you to take ALOT of close ups of your pictures showing the details. That pink baby topper is adorable and I am sure if you cropped a close up, it would give more of the details of your fine work. I am still learning as well. I too am in a visually based business and the more concentration I can filter through various feeds, such as twitter or pinterest, the more traffic towards my website. I hope this helps a little.

Hello Everyone. I have loved reading all of your stories, and have marked this page to continue and follow. A terrific idea for connecting with new faces. I have been a consultant and designer for over 20 years. Designing various products in the kids industry of fashion and furnishings. I have had the experience of running to very successful stores. Took 5 years off away from work completely to work with a deaf child, which I am honoring here. http://elizabethonthego.blogspot.com/ today.
Last fall I jumped back into consulting and this past January started a very slow launch of an online business. Taking all the designing of kids rooms, and now making that business a web store. I would be lying if I said this online business stuff is the greatest challenge I have ever faced in business. My life was not rolled out in typing out words, but sharing face to face life experiences with my clients. Learning how to take what comes natural in face to face time and implementing into social media is what the “slow launch” is all about. Learning through websites like this, and the wisdom of gifted people who have gone before me. I love people. love design, love my work and have had much favor in my career, not without a lot of hard work, which I love too. Visit my webstie http://www.hungouttobuy.com follow on twitter, and if you do tell me you found me here @elizonthego and a facebook “like” would be lovely too.

Hi Adrienne,
I’m a trainer – I specialise in design and delivery of literacy and numeracy programmes, software training and elearning. At the moment I’m on a fixed term contract (that finishes in November) as a Workplace Literacy Trainer in the health care industry.
My interests are social media, learning, reading, mountain biking, walking my dogs, the outdoors.
I’m trying to build an online presence, and have recently started blogging and tweeting (have had Linkedin and Facebook (although not a fan page) for a few years). I’ve started my blog with what I consider “safe” topics lol, while I build up my confidence.
I was up til midnight last night going through your training videos, and they were very useful, thanks. Will be going back for more soon.

My new blog is at http://packerlandwebsites.com/BillsBlog/ and is a way to show my customers how a blog can compliment a website and newsletter.

Hi Adrienne! I just came across your blog today. I look forward to reading more.
I’m an amateur blogger, writer, and template designer. In other words, I do this stuff for fun (although it’s very painful at times!). I absolutely love writing and I don’t know why. There’s something fascinating about string words together. Maybe I just like the feeling of pushing buttons on the keyboard. I don’t know. But I like my writing to be different. I want it be compelling, witty, fluff-free, and full of personality. I want people to know I, not anybody else, wrote it.
I call myself a template designer, but I’m not much of one. I don’t have many templates on my blog, but I plan to change that. I believe that blogs don’t have to be ugly (isn’t that a no-brainer?), but I understand (or perhaps I don’t) that many people can’t bear spending 5 minutes to improve their template. And so, people are in great need of templates.
I’m an avid Blogger-user. Blogger often gets a bad rap from the Wordpress people, but take it from somebody who has used Blogger more recently than 5 years ago—Blogger is awesome. And yes, so is Wordpress. But neither is “better” than the other.
On my blog, I discuss writing, blog design, social media, or whatever else that’s on my mind. I rant a lot too.

Hi Sarah,
Welcome to my blog and I’m so happy you stopped by.
I appreciate you sharing with us more about what you’re doing here as well. Maybe a lot of us can take a page from your book! I wish more people would just let loose with their blogging and stop being so stuffy.
So are all your templates free and you only design them for Blogger? Just curious.
I don’t think that Blogger necessarily gets a bad rap. What I have come to learn Sarah is since you’re blogging on a free platform, you don’t actually own any of your content. Google can decide at any time to delete your blog and there’s nothing you can do about it. So people who are blogging for building a business definitely need a self hosted blog. If you’re just here for pleasure, that’s totally up to the individual. I think that’s really the big difference.
I’ll be sure to stop by your place this week and have a look around. In the meantime, you have a fabulous week and thanks again.
~Adrienne
Twitter: TemplateFaerie
June 3, 2012 at 10:12 PM
Hey Adrienne,
All my templates are (and will be) free. So far, I’ve only made templates for Blogger, but I do plan on branching out to Wordpress once I get more experience with the platform.
Getting your blog deleted by Google is something I hear a lot of people worry about. But as long as you’re not a spammer or are doing something against their TOS, there’s nothing to worry about. Blogger has a system to detect spam blogs, but even if your blog is incorrectly flagged as spam, they give you an opportunity to request a review and have your blog unlocked.
It is true—by using their service you agree to their terms. But Google actually states in their TOS that you are in fact the owner of your content: “Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.”
I understand why people with a business would prefer self-hosting, though. But for what I’m doing, I see no point in paying for it when there’s a free option. Wordpress is awfully nice, though. It’s certainly more versatile and customizable. Someday I may just start a Wordpress blog just so I have a reason to play with it.
Okay, I’ll shut up now. I’m talking too much.
Twitter: adriennesmith40
June 4, 2012 at 8:08 AM
Hey Sarah,
That’s really cool of you to only create free templates. I’m sure everyone really appreciates that.
Well, I do know a few people who had theirs deleted which is why I say that. It sounds like they’re doing a much better job now of at least reviewing them before wiping them totally off. In the past all they did was delete them after some complaints but these blogs were not spammers nor did they have anything inappropriate up. That’s really great to know so thank you for sharing that. I learned something new today!
Thanks again Sarah and you enjoy your day and week.

Introduce yourself
Hi my name is Michael. For the last 30 years I have coped with an incurable inflammatory bowel disease known as Crrohn’s Disease. After over 20 operations I ended up with intestinal failure and a future being fed intravenously. However late last year I became the 11th person to have bowel transplant in Oxford, England. In the lead up to my surgery I started blogging and tweeting about my journey in the hope that it can help other patients and their families.
I am incredibly lucky to have had this operation and now I devote a huge amount of time to talking to other patients, trying to raise awareness of IBD and have subsequently developed a small socaial media stategy to tell our story to the world. If you fancy a read then please go to my blog at http://beingapatient.blogspot.com or join our facebook group Bowel Disease One Global family. if there is anyone out there with any connection whatsoever to IBD or IBS then please get in touch I would absolutely love to hear from you and your experiences.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for sharing this with me and all I have to say is wow. My heart goes out to you for what you’ve had to endure in your short life. I’m so thankful that that operation was helpful and now you’re able to spread the word and hopefully help so many people who are fighting this same incurable disease.
I use to be friends with a couple probably 12 years ago now and her husband had Crohn’s disease. I know it was really rough on him but we lost touch.
I’m sure you blog will help many and I’ll be sure to stop by for a visit.
Thank you again.

I think prospective customers, after they know like and trust you like Adrienne suggested, would be more apt to purchase them if they could see exactly what they do. I am sure they would also be a BIG hit as a virtual product in Second Life! Good luck with it!

Hi Adtienne,
I just came across your site via Twitter, great content you have here and thanks for letting us post.
Enjoyed reading some of the stories of the other commenters.
I spent 35 years as a professional photographer, 12 of those years in forensic photography before starting my own business fitting bathrooms and kitchens.
I have just returned to marketing online after 15 months away, and boy have things moved on. So I am learning the latest tips so I can create more time and freedom for family and friends by working from home.
Bookmarked your site as there is some good info here that I’m sure I will need in the future.

Glad you enjoyed reading some of these, I’ve got quite a few now. People are really doing all sorts of things so it’s really fun to see what everyone is involved in.
Wow, you were a professional photographer and you switched to bathroom and kitchen fittings? Whatever made you go in that direction if you don’t mind me asking. I love photography and I bet in the forsensic area you were in demand unfortunately.
So you’re back to marketing online, well welcome Paul. Great to have you join all the rest of us crazies who love this as well. So what are you involved in online? Are you promoting your bathrooms and kitchen business? I’d love to know more but I will stop by your blog and check it out.

Hello again Adrienne,
Forensic photography is not all the glamour that it is made out to be on TV. I was made redundant and needed to find something I could do that also interested me without being a slave to a boss, so that is how I got into fitting bathrooms and kitchens.
It is hard work at times and the hours are long and although I enjoy it I want something better where I can spend more time with family and friends hence coming back online.
My previous experience online has allowed me to setup a website for my business and get around 20 of the top 50 entries in Google for my keyword (low competition).
Any way do drop by my marketing blog when you get a chance.
Regards
Paul

June 23, 2012 at 12:43 PM
Oh Paul, I don’t see that as glamorous at all. Taking pictures of those types of circumstances, yuck!!! I admire anyone that does that and I would think it would still be in high demand unfortunately. But you’re right, you are always answering to someone and you never know when and where you’ll be. I would think it’s definitely not a boring job though!
I totally understand why you changed from there and are now eager to come online and make a better life for you and your family. I did stop by your blog and see you are taking Dean’s course. Or at least were on the webinars. You’ll have to check out my good friend Sergio, he’s doing Dean’s course too and I bet you guys would hit it off.
Thanks for sharing that with me, I appreciate that.

Hello everyone,
My name is Tiffany Soaper and I’ve recently started to do some internet marketing. I’ve tried a lot of things that were supposed to work but didn’t. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to that! However, over the past few years I’ve started to read some self-help and motivational literature. It has helped me tremendously. I am now more confident, eager to learn, and I KNOW my success and financial freedom is going to come from my passion of internet marketing. I have recently gotten involved with a company called Empower Network. It is currently the fastest growing, highest paying commission internet-based business on the net. They’ve given out over 6 Million dollars in commissions and they haven’t even been in existence for a year yet. Their stats on Alexa are ridiculous! Anyway, I could go on and on about this company (and how you can get started for only $25 bucks) but I won’t. If you’d like to visit my website/blog feel free to at https://www.empowernetwork.com/dotcomindustry. I’d love for you to come check out some of my posts and leave me some comments! It’s kind of lonely establishing a presence online at first. But I’m extremely confident in my ability to grow and grow quickly. I am involved in a few other online ventures…hence my business name Dotcom Industry. I am an affiliate of Zeekler Penny Auctions which is doing amazing. This is a VERY easy way to make money. And I’m also an associate of a brand new home grocery delivery company called Grocery Train. This is online grocery shopping folks! Very convenient, very cool. You can visit my Zeekler site at http://www.tsoaper.zeekrewards.com/ and my Grocery Train website at http://www.grocerytrain.com/slteam. I welcome any advice anyone could give about driving traffic. I’m pretty familiar with onsite and offsite SEO, but I’m open to learning new strategies. Thanks Adrienne! This is an awesome contribution to the cyber world.
Also, become a fan on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/dotcomindustry I share a lot of motivational and inspirational videos, posts, and messages on there. I believe that is something we all need as business owners. The foundation of your success has to be belief in yourself and your dreams.
To Success,

My name is William Veasley and I am 20 years old living in the United States.
I write short stories that are related to my life. Some of the stories I write are fiction and some are none fiction. I found that I have a deep passion for writing fiction. Sometimes, it takes a long time for me to create something out of nothing, but I love using my creativity. My purpose is to help the world as best as I can and I believe that will be through my stories because it is my passion and since it is a passion, I work to develop and better understand my imagination/creativity.
I do not offer anything. I just offer lessons that I have learned through living life that might help someone and or that someone can connect with. My plan is to write books compossed of short stories (chapters). I think that is my purpose because it is really all I think about.
But anyways, thanks for this opportunity! I make your three hundredth comment! Boo, yeah! ( :

Hi Jerome,
First off welcome to my blog and thank you so much for stopping by. Glad you decided to take me up on my offer.
Ah, so you’re into fitness at night but love the online world during the day. Good for you and happy to hear that you’re making your way just like the rest of us.

My Name is Aditya Samitinjay, you can call me Sam. I’m from India, studying Medicine and my interests are based in Mental Health and Lifestyle, Self Development and Healthy Living. I also try to share my personal experiences with people. It is all at one place, at my personal blog – likelitelife.in
I’m passionate about Sports and Music as well apart from blogging. I Love Liverpool FC and Rafael Nadal.
I do offer help on the topic I’ve mentioned above. The advantage with my tips is that I don’t recommend you to buy supplements for your problems and instead I try to go to the root of the problem and fix it there with healthy and safe methods only, that is my assurance.
So, I hope to see you there. Good luck with your blog as well

Hi, and thanks for this opportunity.
I own and run a small niche consultancy in the UK, working mainly in financial services, but my passion is helping people achieve in life. I write self help books (and 1 novel) and also some technical books (as you can see on my site http://www.leewerrell.co.uk).
One of my greatest moments was after helping a salesman in my team with some 1:1 coaching, he went on to win our salesman of the year prize, and his first reaction was to come over to me and thank me for all my help. I love it when I see people develop their potential.
I am currently giving away kindle books on Amazon at http://amzn.to/GLm5vC including 10 Myths of Success, Universal Laws of Success and my fantasy adventure novel The Baram Venture but only until Monday (a holiday here in the UK).
I have been married for over 33 years, have 2 daughters and 8 grandchildren.

Thank you for sharing with us more about you and what you’re passionate about. I always enjoy learning more about my readers.

Hi Ferb,
You don’t know who you are? So when someone says, “tell me who Ferb is” you don’t know what to say? I know for me I would say things like I love people, I have a bubbly personality, I never meet a stranger, I’m loyal, I’m trustworthy, just to name a few characteristics. We know that in life we don’t want to be defined for what we do. We want to be known for who we are.
So when you share this with everyone they want to know why we would connect with you on these other platforms. Maybe that will help a little moving forward.
But thank you for stopping by Ferb and I hope you’re enjoying your week.

Hi Adrienne, we have actually spoke on the phone a couple of times. You were the one who introduced me to MLSP! I use the principles of their teachings but since them have moved on to another system. I am a full time network marketer promoting my business online, but also using old school tried and tested strategies that still work today. I am a husband and father of two beautiful children. After three years of struggling in this industry I have finally figured things out through self promotion on the internet and learning the techniques of the top earners. I had my best day two weeks ago where I enrolled 31 people into my primary in 1 day! I am part of a down-line building and attraction marketing system called “we are 300″ http://weare300.com As always I enjoy your teachings and input Adrienne!

Introduce yourself: My name is Larry Rivera I am soon to be 37 yrs young.
* What do you do: I have been teaching martial arts for the past 10 years, been training though for the past 20 years. I also market on the internet combined both incomes allow me to be a stay at home dad which I feel very blessed to be.
* What are you passionate about: I love blogging and sharing my experiences. I think all people have the potential for greatness if only they will believe in themselves.
* Do you need any help or do you offer help: You know I come from the thinking that when the student is ready the teacher appears. When I do help someone I give them 100% of me all that I ask in return is that they give 100% in return.
* Promote yourself: I really am not a big fan in promoting myself or patting myself on the shoulder. I am very good at many things though many people would never suspect it because I don’t feel inclined to share with to many people.
I think the whole idea of promoting oneself is self glorifying something I don’t like. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind other people promoting me
I just can’t bring myself to do it often. Some of my friends actually are like.. “DUDE why don’t you tell people your story more” The reason is because I like to let my work speak for itself.

Hey Larry!
Welcome my friend and thanks for sharing more about you with us all.
Now Larry, if you shared more about you with everyone then you know that more connections on that personal level would be made. Your work is fabulous and yes, it should speak for itself, but I think you could help a lot more people if you were to share more about you with others. I hear what you’re saying though. I’m not a big self promoter either but I do like to bond with others and if by sharing my story will help someone else, I’m all over it.
I appreciate you stopping by though and always a pleasure to see you. Hope you’re doing well.

Hi Adrienne,
Yet another great post thanks
Here are my details as requested.
* Introduce yourself – Hi my name is Mark Gray and i am a man of many talents and interests lol sometimes, as i am sure many of you know, having lots of interests can lead to procrastination so i am currently culling those interests in the favour of being more focused.
I am currently only concentrating on music production in the teaching fields, artist field and Royalty free sound for IM`rs.
I currently live in Phuket, Thailand with my beautiful GF and my Dog Angus
* What do you do – Internet Marketing, Music Production, Teacher
* What are you passionate about – Life and self discovery including regaining fitness and health whilst struggling with several addictions.
* Do you need any help or do you offer help – We all need help and we should all help each other. I can and need both.
* Promote yourself – I have been teaching for many years, have Advanced I.T Skills, can teach any level in the fields of Music Production, Traffic Generation, Fundamental IM skills. I am a great believer in patting oneself on the back when its deserved and getting someone else to give you kick up the rear end when thats called for so i make a good life coach

What a great idea, Adrienne. Thanks for allowing me to participate
My name is Linda. I am the owner of Freebies n Deals, which is a coupon/deal site that allows people to save money when shopping online and also with their grocery shopping. With the constant rising costs of everything, we all need to find ways to SAVE money and my intention is to help others do just that.
My website – http://www.freebiesndeals.com is ideal for anyone who loves to shop online and pick up a few complete FREE offers along the way. Our visitors also have the opportunity to print grocery coupons directly from our website. Who doesn’t love to save money at the grocery store!
I just launched my new blog that will help people decide if certain products are for them. My goal here is to make a new post a few times a week, depending on time of course, which will highlight different products/websites. It’s been fun working with different advertisers and their reactions are just totally awesome when they see a review or write up about their products.
Basically, it is a win-win opportunity for advertisers and my site as we both gain the benefits of the post. http://blog.freebiesndeals.com
My passion is and always has been about helping people. With this business, I am helping people save money on the products they normally buy and introduce them to new ones. I like to look for unique advertisers to work with so that I am not the same as my competitors…it’s not an easy task but I am hoping my efforts will pay off
Once again, thank you for the opportunity to post here and I will speak to you soon

Hi there,
Many thanks for inviting me to post on this page, Adrienne.
I’m a mental health nurse by trade and still work full time for the health service in England, specialising in the ethical and legal aspects of caring for people who lack mental capacity – my work involves lots of training, as well as conducting complex assessments.
I’m taking early retirement from my day job next year, and for the last 18 months or so I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a living online, to keep me busy and boost my pension. I want to be able to work from home so I can spend more time with my husband and my other main passion – my DOGS!
As a result of this, I’m returning to a long-neglected interest in writing – when I started learning about internet marketing, one of the things that most fascinated me most was copywriting and content creation. I’m setting up an authority site in the ‘writing’ niche – http://writeclever.com – which I plan to start monetizing when I finish work next year.
My aim is to provide helpful, entertaining, accessible tips and advice for people who want to develop their writing skills with a view to making money from writing articles, web content, blogging etc. There are lots of blogs and websites out there that could so easily be improved by some simple changes to the way the content is written and presented – I’d like to help people out with that.
I’m an avid reader, and I’m also planning to set up a book review site – I’ve got as far as purchasing the domain name and writing my first review, but haven’t had time to set it up yet – one of the many things on my ever-growing ‘do’ list. I also have a Facebook page in the pipeline, which will be linked to my website – not to mention all the eBooks in my head…..
My other passions are human psychology and personal development. I suffered from social anxiety from childhood, only overcoming it in my middle years, and I’m a great believer in our potential to grow and develop throughout our lives. I don’t think we should ever stop striving to reach our true potential.
At the moment I’m devoting my limited time online to content creation and learning the tricks of the trade – and boy, have I got a lot to learn. I’m currently learning how to make videos with Camtasia and I’ve just spent an entire day trying to get to grips with Twitter, which I’ve been putting off for ages. How can something involving messages of 140 characters or less be so blinking complicated!
What do I need help with? What DON’T I need help with more like! I think my main stumbling block is some of the techie stuff and keeping pace with the remorseless changes and developments online. Like knowing which plugin to use, which ones are out of date, that kind of thing. For example, I spent ages today trying to find a free plugin to add social ‘follow me’ buttons to my site – turned out what looked like the best one hadn’t been updated in over a year and I couldn’t get the links to Google plus and LinkedIn to work, which was very frustrating! It never ceases to amaze me how much time a small technical hitch can steal from your day.
On the positive side, I think one of my main strengths is my ability to communicate, which has obviously been key to my day job. I’m thoroughly enjoying getting to know other bloggers through blog commenting and I’m especially grateful to Adrienne for all I’m learning and the lovely people I’m meeting through this site.
So – that’s me!
If you’d like some simple, actionable tips to improve your writing skills, hop over to my site – http://writeclever.com – and if you’re kind enough to comment on any of my posts, I’ll be sure to respond.

Hi Sue,
Thank you so much for sharing all about you with me. I bet your job is fascinating and congratulations for your early retirement next year. I bet you’re excited to put all of that behind you and get into a new phase of your life.
I know that the tech part of blogging can be a little overwhelming at times but it does take time to grasp it all. As you probably know, I share a lot of tips on my blog pertaining to a lot of different areas. Hoping that you’ve been learning a few things from me as you’ve progressed with your blog.
Thank you again for sharing this with us and hope you’re enjoying your weekend. I know we definitely have a few loves in common. Blogging and dogs, you can’t go wrong with either of them.

Cheers, Adrienne – I’m without doubt learning a TON from my visits to your blog – thank you so much!
I’m delighted to hear you love dogs too – don’t know what I’d do without mine.
And you’re right – I’m very excited about finishing work next year – my job is interesting but involves a lot of stress over which I have limited control, so I won’t be sorry to move on – definitely time for a change.
I’ve had a lovely weekend, thanks – we have actually had some SUNSHINE here, which is almost unheard of (we’ve had the most terrible summer – relentless rain for weeks on end) so I allowed myself a break from working online to get out in the garden and dig up some weeds.
Thanks, once again, for all your help and support – I’ll certainly keep coming back to your blog (just try and stop me!)

Oh, I love hearing that and so happy to know that I’ve been helpful in your journey to learn and grow.
Oh yes, I don’t have any children of my own so my dog is my child. I love my precious Kayla so very much, she’s definitely my angel.
Happy to hear you’re excited about where life will take you next year. Although your job sounds rewarding it also sounds stressful. Here’s to new beginnings.
Wow, a rainy summer. That’s no fun at all. It’s just really hot here so getting outside in the summer isn’t any fun here either. But hoping to have cooler temperatures soon. Just glad you’ve been enjoying your weekend. Yay!
Thanks Sue and it will always be a pleasure to see you.

My dogs are my children too, Adrienne, so I know where you’re coming from there – aren’t we lucky, they never grow up or leave home!
Just can’t imagine what it must be like to be too hot – sounds dreamy to me!

Hello Adrienne and thank you for providing this forum.
I spent almost 20 years in the corporate world, but was “downsized” (that’s what they were calling it, back then!), in 1992. Unable to find a comparable job, I started my own pet care business, in self defence. (Dogs have been in my family for generations.) This has evolved into running a “doggie hotel’ in my home. Started personal computing only in 2008, when my then 81 year old father bought me a laptop for Christmas. He told me it was time I came into the 21st century. (I had always been one of “those” people; the ones who considered computers a waste of time.) Well, little did he know that I would take to it immediately! Now, I have trouble getting OFF the computer. From early childhood on, writing has been a passion of mine and I pursued this as a young adult, but sadly, had no success and gave it up. Started concentrating on a different career path and over the years, my muse became buried completely. Have just come through a stressful two-year period, which left me with something akin to a mild case of PTSD. Am slowly recovering and rediscovering the joy of writing. Have been using Wordpress.com for awhile and lately, writing some of my memoires. My business has been a bit slow lately and I am looking for ways to supplement that income, so, why not turn my love of writing into something marketable? I know there’s so much to learn and I am hoping to evolve my blog into a commercial enterprise and also write an ebook or two. Looking forward to reading more of your helpful advice. Best regards, Debbie

Hi Debbie and you are so very welcome!
Thank you for sharing more of who you are and what brought you online. I can relate about the “downsizing” part which to me is a nice way to saying you’re fired. Either way my entry into the online world was much the same way.
Happy to hear you are a dog lover, so am I. I have lots of online friends who are as well so I have a feeling this is going to be another great blogging relationship.
Your Dad sounds like a very smart man and I’m thrilled you accepted the computer and adapted to it so well. I look forward to stopping by your blog and reading some of what you share.
Thank you again and happy to have you here.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, “downsizing” is just a nice way to say “fired” and it was a mixed blessing. That corporate workaholic was NOT my true persona. Am looking forward to expanding my horizons here and getting to know you and your friends. Glad you’re also a dog lover. Cheers!

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for inviting me here and letting me share my blog and the success I’m getting from following such great mentors like yourself and from both of my Internet coaching programs. My name is Bart Nash. I am a never give up entrepreneur and I spent most of my working career as a professional working for a door and window manufacturing co. as the sales manager for the company.
2008 was the beginning of the end after working many years for the Door Gallery when our economy came crashing down. It all came to an end when I was traveling up to Boston one day and woke up in the Hartford General Hospital and proceeded to spend just over 3 months there when a small piece of my lower intestine hemorrhaged and sent me into septic shock. I came within 45 minutes or less of loosing my life. But fortunately some truck driver saw I was having some trouble and dialed 911 and saved my life.
After slowly loosing everything I had worked for over the next year and a half from being out of work I decided to learn how to market online. I did this because there is no other job or business I could possibly get into that will ever let me retire in the few years I have left to work a full time job.
I decided to pick the make money from home online niche because I want to be able to teach and help other people that want to make money online so they never have to go through the same nightmare that I have endured the past couple of years if they ever run into problems like I have.
I made the right choice to pursue professional coaching and I enlisted in two coaching programs. One is to Learn Affiliate Marketing in Brian G Johnson’s 300 Internet Marketers. And the other is a product creation program in John Thornhill’s Partnership to Success coaching program.
Both of my coaches have kept me in check and have refrained me from doing what most marketers try to do immediately and that is to think about the money first, and to make it as fast as possible. Following the training I have received my blog has exploded and is now gaining more and more traffic every day. This comes from both social media marketing which is how I came here. And from the traffic I am receiving from some of my content reaching page 1 on Google and the search engines.
Following the training from my Affiliate Marketing coach my blog has reached what he considers authority status and I can now start to monetize it with the plan I outlined when I first started.
I am extremely passionate about what I’m doing online and in helping others. Fortunately I am able to now do this full time as I have moved from the New York Metro area down south to a town Called Honea Path in South Carolina. I moved into my oldest and best friends house because he is having some health issues. In return for helping him I don’t have to worry about making a living and I can devote all of my efforts full time marketing online while I complete both of my coaching programs.
Of course I am always looking for help and advise but if you have any questions or need any help with anything all you need to do is ask. And if I can help you I certainly will. If you are looking to learn how to market online check out my blog and sign up for my updates and I will share with you everything I have learn ed in my coaching and how to get your blog noticed fast at http://bartnash.com/how-to-get-your-blog-noticed/
Thank you Adrienne for letting me share my story and blog here, and for all your support. I look forward to learning from you.
Best,

Hi Bart,
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and I’m so happy to have you here.
Wow, you’ve been through a lot but pulled yourself up, held your head up high and kept going. Because of that look how far you’ve come! How rewarding is that to now be able to not only help your friend but finish your classes and continue to build a successful coaching practice all from the comforts of your own home. I love that about the internet.
I have no doubt you’re headed in the right direction and I’ll be sure to stop by your blog as well and say hello.
In the meantime, you enjoy your day and thank you again for sharing this with me and my readers.

Hi Adrienne!!
I am sooo excited and so grateful for what you are doing here on your personal blog. And for me, a “new comer” to the social media/networking world, this is purely heaven sent!!! So in advance, HAT’S OFF TO YOU!!
My name is Shallesia Turner and I am a brand new distributor and inspiring entrepreneur in the coffee industry. My endeavor of choice is Gourmet Coffee, the company is Organo Gold. Organo Gold is a healthy coffee company focused on healthier coffee and tea made from a Chinese fungus or mushroom called Gano Derma. Ganoderma is infused into the worlds addiction to make it a healthier habit!! You can find more about Organo Gold on my personal OG site ssturner.organogold.com or on my newly created coffee blog, diamonddiva.mygreatcoffeeblog.com which I hope it is as successful as yours.
My passion is not only to bring the treasures of the earth to the people of the world but I also love inspiring other single mothers/single parents to live outside of their comfort zone by not limiting themselves to the every day “8 to 5″ mentality but to live out their passions and desires that live within. I know by branching out into blogging and networking online it would eventually open other doors for greater possibilities which would help me to create a “helping avenue” such as this one. But before I could help others find their passions, I need to find my own direction first. I am eager to get the ball rolling but I’m not sure if I am going by it in the right manner.
Again Adrienne, THANK YOU for this opportunity and to everyone that has replied her blog, THANK YOU as well because I’ve learned so much from you too!!!
Continued blessings to each of you and I will SEE YOU AT THE TOP!!

I use to be with Organo Gold so I’m happy to hear that you’re so excited about this new venture. I am going to wish you the very best of luck with this as I have no doubt you’ll be very successful.

Hi Adrienne,
I am so happy to have found your site. You offer so much information that I felt I had to sign up for your newsletter.
I am the owner of Gift Basket Villas and work with an alliance of women to help grow businesses and relationships through giving. I’ve been in the scientific field/guys world (only woman in the entire east coast) for over 20 years and have changed what I have to do, to what I want to do. I am so loving this.
I started this business because I love creating things and giving. I feel it’s also time for me to give back. Since the beginning of time, we’ve given gifts to our friends and family. In this day when we’re all so busy, it’s even more Important that we stay connected to people.
We all want to feel like we belong and are appreciated, and we want to help others feel that way too. Giving personal and thoughtful gifts allows us to connect more closely with others and bring unexpected happiness into their lives. Nothing feels better than receiving an unexpected gift that lets you know that someone is thinking about you.
Thank you for giving us this forum, and let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Visit us at http://www.giftbasketvillas.com/ or email me at gifts@giftbasketvillas.com.

Hellos Adrienne and all of the above. I read all of your comments and find I have a little thread of something in common with all of you.
I met Adrienne on Eddie Gears site. Thank you so much, Eddie for the introduction.
Adrienne I got to your site 3 times via Tweet Deck. I love it by the way.
This is my 2nd time writing my comment. My old computer, which I am grateful or seems to get low blood sugar, sleep apnea and arthritis and locks up so I loose every thing. Oh, maybe that’s me.
I am Malika Bourne the No Non-cents Nanna.
I have many passions, interests and a bucket list.
As my on-line personality my passion is to be a part of the solution against child abuse and more by educating in my normally easy going style. I admit, I can get snotty occasionally.
My main blog is http://nonono-centsnanna.com on blogspot. I have a WordPress blog which I rarely get to.
I was recruited to write on Every Little thing Birth and Beyond under the column title Listen to Grandma.
I was also recruited to write on Bubblews.com I even earn a little bit of cash and I it there.
I am a self-published author of a book that I pulled from distribution for personal reasons. I can say as an author I knew jack cheese about inter-net marketing and my typing habits are a challenge. to sum that up. I did it all wrong.
I have numerous hard copies of some short stories and one novel nearly complete on my crashed computer and the missing flash drive. I also have a series plotted out with the original book to be worked as the last of the series.
I feel like I still run in circles having raised three children on a nurse’s salary. I have a small degree as a Registered Nurse. My best nursing skills are bed side manner and teaching. I figured out my expertise to market on Oprah, oh wait, I’m, too late for her book club. My expertise is not about the book I did all wrong with typo’s, it is my passion: teaching.
I have disabled for several years. I live with my 39 year old son, the computer geek, sits on his butt all day with his dog, Tacks. by his side.
I mislead you all on purpose. My son has sever MS and the dog is his service dog. @AtackswithLove had his own Twitter account where he works on helping with causes for animals. His Klout score is higher than mine. M-m-m? I am his ghost writer.
I have 6 grand kids who of course I am proud of. but they have been helping me develop No Non-cents Nanna by participating in demonstrating on my tutorial videos on You Tube, now under just my name, Malika Bourne. I write about them and their age appropriate activities.
I admit that I edit many details for their privacy.
I am so happy that I connected to you , Adrienne. I am really good at helping authors promote their books. but , I could do much better. I know I will, because I am learning a lot from you.
I am Malika Bourne the No Non-cents Nanna saying as I always do, “Make good choices.”

November 19, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Wow, you read all the comments! You’re brave Malika…
Welcome back and so glad you decided to stop by and share with us more about you here in this post. I always enjoy getting to know my readers and hopefully new friends.
Sorry about the loss of your comment the first time around. It sounds like to me that you’re ready for a new computer. Once mine started doing that I had no choice. Losing all your hard work is no fun at all.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me and you just gave me another look at who you are. I already knew about your son having stopped by yesterday and reading your post. You are truly a God send and I’m sure your entire family feels the same way.
You are one busy woman and a published author too. That’s a title to wear proudly.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us and again for stopping by. Always a pleasure to have you and I’m thrilled that we connected through Eddie as well. He’s a really great guy.
You enjoy your week and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing each other again soon.

Hello Adrienne, my name is Jarkko and I’m a young, introverted and shy guy from Finnish backwoods. Really a rare specimen indeed…
I write a blog called “Becoming Awesome” which I started last summer after coming home from an eyeopening adventure in Malaysia (I’ll be going back). My plot’s whole angle is to follow my development from a shy Finnish kid who has literally been living under a rock to actually experiencing the world and growing as a person while at it.
My main passions are writing, personal growth and football – last of these of course has barely anything to do with my blog at the moment. At the moment the most exciting idea for me is using travel as a growth tool – My trip to Malaysia was my first extended trip away from my home in rural Finland and oh boy did it push my comfort zone. As a result I had a whole consciousness shift and now I want to repeat the process – this time going to Japan.
I’m trying to raise money for Japan trip cause my personal funds aren’t likely to be enough to sustain my stay there – I have enough to actually get to Japan but not enough to survive there the length that I intend to.
So the help I am needing is some support for my IndieGoGo campaign here: http://www.indiegogo.com/becom.in
I’m excited about the project and know it will push me to the new limits, not to mention show the effectiveness of using travel as a growth tool. I hope people would share my interest in this kind of thing. I know there aren’t a lot people like me doing this kind of thing even in the web, so it’s a rare chance to document something like this.
Thank you for the chance to shamelessly plug myself

Hey Adrienne & Everyone,
My name is Tricia May & I have have a couple of projects going on this year, My BIG GOAL for 2013 is to quit my full time job by October and no longer give up my time just to make someone else richer!
I last year become a certified Life & Empowerement Coach (very proud of myself for that achievement!). My website is in the process of being created and is called http://www.magneticempowerementcoaching.com so head on over there soon and if there is anything I can help you with in that field please do not hesitate to let me know.
My SociallyEntertaining site is something I’ve been thinking of doing for a while (And I mean a couple of years now!) I am trying to make it a mixture of the people I’ve been following around the net & who have subsequently become my mentors and also showcasing what great talent we have here in Australia. Not to mention what I learn re internet/affiliate marketing etc, along my journey. The site is only new so please take a look & let me know what you think…any constructive critiscism is always welcome!
I came across Adrienne’s site last year and just recently when I was having a few problems in the set up of one of my affiliate sites I was creating, I rememebered Adrienne and sent her a question. Well lo & Behold I got an answer back in record time (that doesn’t happen with a lot of people….you actually NEVER hear from them at all!). So I thought WOW, this lady really cares & acknowledges all of us out here in “cyberland” so I swore that once my site was up & running I would do a little spiel about Adrienne & am happy to say that today, I did!
So Adrienne, thankyou for all that you do for the rest of us. Your help is incredible and you truly are a fantastic, unique and genuine human being.
All the best to everyone & may we all keep empowered & acheive great things this year!
Oh & Don’t forget to come visit me on Twitter, I always follow back.

Hi Tricia,
Welcome girl and thank you so much for sharing with my readers more about you and what you’ve got going online.
Congratulations on becoming a life and empowerment coach, that’s a big step and I have no doubt you’ll have tremendous success with that.
I just popped over to check out your blog and was thrilled to see that you wrote a post about me. I’m so truly touched and honored. To be honest with you, you described exactly what happened to me early on as well. I just had no one that would just answer a simple question darn it. What happen to the people who are suppose to care about us. I’m just so thankful I was here to help and that I did in some small way.
Thank you again for your wonderful shout out and I appreciate you so much.

OMG, Adrienne…I was writing an introduction of myself. It was a long one when suddenly the internet kicks me out of your website. Dang. Crazy internet. Now I’m writing this on my notepad first. Anyway, I have read this page before on my iphone but I haven’t got a chance to introduce myself.
I have been a Graphic Designer for over 10 years in Silicon Valley and San Joaquin Valley. I used to work for Apple Computer, NASA, Panorama Productions, Yellow Pages, just to mention a few. I was born in the Philippines and came to America when I was 16 and since then, I have lived in California all my life. When recession/depression hits the economy, I tried to change my career into Nursing. So I went back to school for another 2 years just to finish the prerequisites. Then waited another 2-3 years just to get into the Nursing program. Waiting list was so long, I never really got into the program but instead end up getting into the Respiratory Therapy program. Went into the program for 1 year and after that I quit (…I cannot say the real reason why I quit here but if I have a chance to talk to you on the phone someday I’ll tell you the story). Found out that it wasn’t really my cup of tea!
My real passion is to work on my computer doing graphic designs and social media. And so I wanted to start over again after being gone 8-10 years from the commercial industry. I looked for my old portfolio in the attic…yeah it was in the attic because I thought I would never come doing graphic design again. LOL…anyway…I couldn’t find my old portfolio and so, I decided to come back to school and take Beginning Web Design, InDesign, Visual Communication, and Photoshop. Just to update my portfolio. I didn’t feel confident enough just to hassle again in this field. Anyway, one day when I was looking for a job in SimplyHired, I heard about this “paid social media jobs” and so I decided to check them out. Next thing I knew, I’m creating my websites! Thru them, I learn how to create an impressive resume…which gave me back my confidence again. I thought…yeah I could do this!! From PSMJ, I learned that I could be a Social Media Manager and earn money from blogging. And that’s how it started.
Since you ask where do I need help I have a list of them:
• need to gain more traffic on my sites
• need to learn how to be a better affiliate marketer (where do I go?)
• need to know more how to manipulate the wordpress
I’m kinda glad that when I watched the video on PSMJ, he said to start blogging on Wordpress but didn’t really say on his video that a paid theme is better than a free one. He mentioned to create an account on ClickBank and I have advertise a few of their companies on my Health Matter’s site…but even this one isn’t going too good. I’ve been doing this now for 2 months and I haven’t made a cent. And so I guess they didn’t say in that video that being a Social Media Manager can take longer than 4 days (as they promised)…I’ve been finding this harder and harder…like you said a “wake up call.” However, I love what I do now. Writing my articles is very rewarding. I just need to start making $ on this…but can’t do it now till I generate traffic on my sites!

Hi Angela,
Sorry about your internet connection. That happened to me a few times this past weekend too. If it wasn’t one thing it was another.
I appreciate you sharing more about yourself here with me and my readers. Sounds like you’ve had quite the career so far. Sorry nursing didn’t pan out for you but that’s probably because this was where you were meant to be.
Good old traffic, everyone wants that right! I have several posts on how to get traffic to your blog so I hope you’ll find them helpful.
Affiliate marketing is a tricky one and so many people have different thoughts on that one. You need to chose one niche and stick with that. You need to become an authority in that niche so that people will want what you have to share. I have just the guy you need to follow, Steve Scott. He’s fabulous in that area.
The manipulating WordPress is way out of my league but there are plenty of people online that can definitely do that.
Thanks again for sharing this with us and you have a fabulous week.

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for this space and for the way you help people to grow and to believe everything is possible.
About me…
My name is Camila, I’m 32 years old, I’m a mum, I’m a wife, I’m house lover. I was born in Brazil, lived most of my life in Venezuela and recently I moved to Spain.
In profession I’m a graphic designer and art director with 8 years of experience in advertising agency. Right now since we are living in Spain my husband works out and I work in
. I’m starting my crafting-blog business to keep my mind and my abilities updated.
I’m passionate about my daughter, I’m crazy about her and she is my motivation. Since I was a child I loved crafts but with time, profession and daily routine I left that passion aside until I had Emma. I started to do a lot kind of things to decorate her room, later a decoration for her first birthday and then I started making cards and crafts which led me to start blogging. I discover that I really like blogging and crafting, so I think these are my 3 passions: mi house, crafts and blogging.
* Do you need any help or do you offer help: I think from some point of view both. I really need help to gain traffic and connections that is for sure. And on the other hand I like to share things, ideas, be part of something that let me contribute with whatever is in my hands.
I like crafts, I like paper, I like reusing, I like giving a part of me in every peace I make and share. I make greeting cards for any celebration, and each one is made like it was for someone special even those that are for sale. When I make tutorials DIY I really do it thinking that I could help someone. I do what I love to do just because I love to. Does it even make any sense?, in thoughts felt right any way.
Hope those who visit my blog like and enjoy what I have to share
Than you very much

Hi Adrienne.
This is a Great idea. And I’ve found the secret of your Success. Tadaa!! Its just that you are “Doing things uniquely and humanly”.
Lemme introduce myself.
I’m a 16 year old Wanna be Professional Blogger and Internet Marketer.
I spend my time on the web by getting hired as a web designer or freelancer most of the time.
To be frank,I ain’t got no support from my parents. They are just thinking that I’m wasting my precious time on the internet by playing games like all those kids next door do.
I’m from Kerala (God’s Own Country) ,India. Where people doesn’t get engaged in the web for business too much. Its the reason why my parents don’t have trust on me.
I want to make a change in the society. That’s my ambition.
I have only an experience of 6 months in Blogging and I have managed about 7 blogs.
My last blog was CyTricks.com which I recently abandoned due to my changing interests.
Now I blog @ BloggerDoc.com about Blogging Tips, SEO, Ways to Make Online Money and Promotional Strategies.
I just want to reach the stars high. My inspirations are bloggers just like you and mostly Harsh Agarwal from ShoutMeLoud.
I’ve already tweeted this and added you on twitter. I’m all outta things to write.
Thanks for approving my comment Adrienne. Good luck

Hi Zion,
Surprise!
Yeah, my stuff isn’t really that much of a secret since I’m spilling the beans in every single post that I share of what I’ve learned and how it’s gotten me to where I am today.
I think that this post is a fabulous way for my hopefully new readers to share more about them and what they’re all about. Of course if you need any assistance with anything I’m here to help. No strings attached, I just care about people.
OMG, you’re only 16. Wow, what an amazing age to be online.
Hey Zion, you hang in there my friend because your parents may be eating their words later down the road after you are not only supporting yourself by working online but are building a huge business. I admire those that do design work because I don’t have a creative bone in my body.
I have several really good blogging friends that live in India and they are making a fabulous living online. Don’t overdo yourself though because when you have too many things going all at once you’ll burn yourself out. Stick with one niche and one business model and you’ll do great.
I appreciate you sharing this with me and welcome again to my blog. If I can be of any assistance, don’t hesitate to ask.

Hi Adrienne,
Thanks for the opportunity to share some of my story. In what seems like a lifetime ago (1995-2000), I was the CEO of Ganymede Software, a venture-backed software company. Fortunately that entrepreneurial adventure turned out well, allowing me to semi-retire. I operated a micro-farm on our land for a few years, have been an advisor to several tech startups, and recently joined the board of the Track and Field Athletes Association.
About 1.5 years ago, I started a website called My Athletic Life where I wrote about my experiences with fitness (CrossFit and Track and Field). That site has done well, and taught me quite a few lessons regarding authority sites. I am hoping to one-up that experience with my brand new website, Retirement Planning HQ – http://retirementplanninghq.com/, where I want to create content for people in mid-life and near retirement who are looking for optimistic, and realistic, advice about being retired.
Take care,
…Tim

Hi everyone!
I’m a 23 year old, work at home mother. Writing pays the bills.
My passion is helping young adults who aren’t sure what to do after high school. Mainly because I was in that same position not too long ago. Helping others define their own path to success in life after high school is the mission. Meaning I share a lot more than just ways to get into college. That’s only one route.
I’m so glad I follow Adrienne, otherwise I would’ve missed an opportunity like this. Thanks for doing it by the way
If anyone is looking for content writers, I can help. Depending on your website’s purpose, I could even do some guest blogging and promotion at no charge to you.
Obviously, I have a soft spot for advising and guiding others who may be going through the same challenges I’ve been through. If you’re site has a similar theme, hit me up at byehighschool [at]gmail[dot]com!
Now. As for me, I need some web design help. Something more… clean, simple, yet fun. And some logo ideas would be nice. Just your ideas would be extremely helpful.

I jumped on over from twitter to your site after seeing a few tweets about Google Plus and then saw this post and figured its a good place to introduce myself.
My name is Ed King and I’m a freelance and fine art photographer from Rhode Island, my background was not always in photographer but actually sales and marketing. I’ve had a passion and love for engaging via social media since the early days of America Online when social media wasn’t called social media, I also worked with i Village as a manager developing a sub community within their community.
Social media for me is a big part of my network and I really love engaging with people and learning from others and helping people grow, givers gain has stayed with me since my days of being a chapter president in BNI.
I’m looking forward to connecting with you

Hi there. Thank you, Adrienne, for this opportunity.
I am Michael Smolensky, and I am a lawyer in New Jersey.
I defend individuals in criminal, juvenile delinquency, DWI, and traffic court.
I am passionate about my family first, and my profession second.
I offer help to those who are in trouble with the authorities.
Many people wonder what it is like to defend criminals. This question is understandable. I asked it of other attorneys when I was younger, but I did not understand the explanation. In many ways, it is a matter of duty. I owe duties to my clients, and also to the court. The sense of duty is not imagined. Anyone who has been in court ought to be able to understand.
I am aware people may have a difficult time understanding my career choice. I invite others to read this post on my blog for a little insight about my point of view: http://gavelreport.blogspot.com/2012/11/opinions-perceptions-and-misconceptions.html.
Putting aside areas of possible confusion, I think most people can understand my work makes me grateful for the all the things I have in my life.
In addition to my blog, Gavel Report, I can be found on the social platforms listed here: http://about.me/smolenskylaw.

Hi Adrienne!
The concept is very interesting and encouraging too. I’d like to introduce my online tools in your blog.
I’ve created a free online tool which can be used to find blogs that accept guest blog posting. This tool uses various Google search queries and operators to find blogs. It can also be used to find ready-made list of blogs which accepts guest posting. I hope this tool will help people who want to find blogs that accept guest blogging but don’t have enough skills and time to find them. You can find the tool at http://www.bloggingsmart.com/guest-blog-finder/.
I also have created a free backlink building tool that’s more likely DropMyLink but gives you more control over your links. I’ve included some additional link opportunities like niche directory submission, links from donation, suggest a link, added features on CommentLuv comments, added features on Squidoo ‘add to list’ etc. Here’s the tool at http://www.bloggingsmart.com/easy-backlinks/.
I’ll really appreciate any review on these free tools.
Waiting for your response,

Hello Mrs Adrienne Smith,
Thank you for the opportunity to promote myself here.
I’m a teacher. I have been working with kids from 9-15 years old for about 5 years. Unfortunately this proved a very tough job. I survived for now, but I feel the need to try something else.
I discovered internet marketing some time ago and decided to learn this new and fascinating domain. I’m interested in health, nutrition and weight loss niches and also in internet marketing (blogging and social media). I want to learn all I can about content creation and making relationships.
I think helping people is one of the most difficult thing in the universe. Offering real help is difficult and it’s challenging. It’s so easy to say “do this” or “do that” and go away. Most people want to help but without too much effort. However, to really help someone could mean sometimes not only hard work but suffering, too. These were just a few thoughts.
Thank you very much for this opportunity. Love and appreciation for what you do.

I am currently a student at a college where i am pursuing a first degree in construction technology and will finish august 2014. However, things have been tough going financially so i started investigating online programs for making money, and have come across many and joined a few along the way, but have not hit the jackpot so far but i am still hanging in there because there are still many things to learn.
I have talked with a few online marketers too through subscription and talking to at least one on the phone.
However, i am a passionate building construction person who believes in integrity especially in the construction industry, i love to see the work of a well drawn building constructed to perfection.
And most of all i would love to be able to help others who are struggling to find there way out of poverty and a hard life. This is my number one passion for trying many ways of becoming successful.

My name is June Whittle. I’m a freelance copywriter and the owner of two blogs. I took the plunge on Thursday and left my job. I was a teacher there for nearly five years. So leaving was scary but exciting at the same time.
I am passionate about seeing people develop their skills and achieve goals. That was the major reason why I decided to become a teacher. I wanted to make a difference to the lives of my students. It was awesome to see the changes in some of them and watch them progress academically and personally.I intend to use my writing skills to help businesses and people accomplish their dreams.
At the moment I’m ghost writing two books for two pastors. I’m not doing it for the money but to help them get their message across to a wider audience. It makes me feel good just being able use my skills to promote someone else.The help I need is getting myself known. I’m a new copywriter and I need to market myself. But that’s an area I’m not familiar with. So I would welcome any help available. My income is now dependant on my writing, as I’ve left work behind. I’ve got a daughter to look after so I must get the ball rolling and start earning now!I’ve been writing for many years but not professionally. Although, I’ve had an article and poem published. I love writing but I’m not good at promoting myself. That is a skill I need to develop because my future as a freelance copywriter depends on it. This is another area that I need help with.
Thank you for the opportunity to talk a bit about myself. You can find out more about me on my blogs http://www.miraculousladies.com and http://www.arisesinglechristianmummies.comIf I can help you in any way, please get in touch with me.

Wow, you left your job to do copywriting full-time online. You are very brave June. It takes a strong person to do that and I’m sure that with you writing those books for your pastor that will help get you some recognition as well. I have several friends online that also do copywriting and they comment here on my blog. I’m not sure how they started but I’m sure they would be more then happy to give you some tips. Let me know if you need some help and I’ll put you in touch with them.
Sounds like you’re a woman on a mission so congratulations. I have no doubt you’ll do very well.
Thank you for visiting today June and hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

Hi Adrienne!
You have such a happy blog. It’s so easy to feel welcome here
My name is Dana and I’m an author/writer/personal trainer.
I had struggled with several eating disorders as a teenager and young adult, which resulted in my weight creeping up to over 200 pounds. Realizing that I didn’t have a clue about how health and fitness worked, I knew I had my work cut out for me.
Eventually, I found myself attending Fitness Institute International, Inc – a comprehensive school for fitness. In its 360 hour curriculum, I realized just how little credible information there was in the mainstream media about exercise science and safety principles.
After seeing how easy it was to misunderstand the role that wellness was to play in our lives, in addition to a lack of awareness about exercise safety in general, I authored the book “A Simple Guide to Exercise Safety (What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You)”.
In this book, I have covered many topics that warrant attention to help avoid unnecessary injury and death in a lifestyle otherwise designed to bring optimal health.
I have also created the website I Choose Awareness.com to help contribute toward raising the consciousness of society in any way I can.
Thanks for what you do. You are an asset to the blogging community!

Adrienne,
I guess one of the reasons is that I have too diverse interests and what I do, online and offline, it is hard to consolidate things under one roof.
Thanks for sharing so much (and although I am no newbie to this blog, I never knew this page existed!) and your message – I joined Twitter less than 24 hours ago, and you’re naturally one of the first people I am following
I am essentially a blogger and writer in my online world. I started Geeks Make Money a few years ago to share my thoughts on freelance writing, which I was actively doing at that point of time. Related topics for me were internet marketing and content marketing, both of which were, to me, from a writer’s perspective.
I try to add value wherever I can, and usually blog about interesting things that I come across. My latest post, for example, was on Bitcoin and how bloggers/entrepreneurs can benefit from using this cryptocurrency and how to use it in the first place and integrate with your regular website earnings (I am always excited to hear from other enthusiasts!)
Folks are welcome to contact me on my blog for anything related to freelance writing, internet marketing, SEO, content marketing, or just drop by to say Hi! As I mentioned, I am trying, too late perhaps, to get on Twitter (@sidkal) so would love to connect with people there as well.
Thanks Adrienne for the opportunity for this small introduction!

I appreciate you sharing more about you with me and my readers Sid. I’m happy that things are going well for you too.
You are never too late to get on Twitter and I hope you enjoy up enjoying that platform as much as I do. I love Twitter and I share quite a few posts on how you can get noticed on Twitter as well. So check them out if you’re interested.

Hi!
What a great website concept! This is very interesting a valuable for bloggers out there.
I run a very niche blog specifically for book cover design, which includes a store where you can buy a premade book cover instead of following the blog recommendations. At the moment, I’m really trying to learn how to use WordPress so that users (and myself) have a better experience. Additionally, I’m trying to start reaching out to the publishing community. I can use all the help I can get.
I’m passionate about self-publishing (books more so than blogs) and am thrilled about the opportunities available now to self-published authors–opportunities that simply didn’t exist even six or seven years ago. I’ve made a career of self-publishing and want to help other succeed in the same way. The chance for huge success is bigger now that it ever has been. Follow your dream! Write that book!

I’m a soon-to-be college freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, so it’ll be quote a change from life in sunny Florida. I’m a physics enthusiast, so that will certainly be one of my majors along with Biology.
I recently attended a marketing convention with my mother for something called Empower Network, and I’ve been inspired, which is why I decided to start a blog! It’s proving to be quite fun so far because I’ve based my theme on something I’m a fanatic of: Star Wars. My language is not extremely polished because I write the way I’d talk in a casual setting. I enjoy inspirational and thought provoking topics, and I post learning resources (marketing,physics, banjo-playing, yoga) and daily quotes. I’m a newbie so only 10 posts thus far! It’s a pleasure to meet you all, and I shall peruse your wonderful blogs!

Rich is a great teacher so I know you’ll learn so much from him. I have no doubt you’ll be beefing things up in no time at all. That’s so interesting that you’re living in Qatar, hope you’re enjoying that.
Glad you like my blog and thanks for sharing this with us.

Hi folk, I am a wedding & portrait photographer based in Ayrshire, Scotland. I love working with people, getting a reaction from them and of course capturing it for ever! On my web site I don’t have a blog at the moment (not great at setting these things up). I do though have a FB page which is fb.me/alanwatsonphotography and you would be very welcome to pop over and see what I do and get a taste of weddings in Scotland. My Twitter address is @alanwphotos again you would be made more than welcome. Finally, a massive thank you to Adrienne who invited me here in the first place. I do hope you can find the time to visit me on FB or Twitter or if you are planning a trip to Scotland – let me know! Best wishes from a surprisingly warm and sunny Scotland.

First, thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself.
My name is Dragan Palla and I’m an electrical engineer from Croatia. So if you have problems with your electricity you can contact me
. Joke, of course.
As hobby I’m running my blog DomainsFlow.com where I share tips about creating content. I’ve recently written an article about writing backdrop so it would be interesting to hear you, as well as others, about your writing habits. I see here a lot of writers, editors, bloggers and it’s interesting to see different approach to the same thing – creating content. I read and respond to all of my comments.
I also have a web designer aspiration and I made a few tutorials for the Genesis based websites which in short time have become the most viewed and commented. So I thing there’s a space in this field to offer my services in the near future.
Thanks again for this opportunity and I’ll keep in touch since I find your blog VERY useful and full of great informations.

* What do you do:
Social Media & Digital Marketing Pioneer & Visionary (I have been tagged as a “social media bad ass ” by the president of a digital PR firm. I was doing SM & DM before those words were in placeand was innovative in launching several social media tools and activities that are now commonplace– all prior to the dot com crash.
I also use my blog to help create traffic, visibility and engagement for a variety of people, brands, products and companies along with mysef
* What are you passionate about:
What I love to do is create & implement strategies for companies/brands/products (big and small; new and established) and get them visible & leverage them with a new campaign or presentation that is a benchmark that others seek to emulate. I love working with a variety of sectors and people. I am big on using podcasts, video and other platforms for creating buzz and engagement. Without engagement, there is no connection with the target client.
* Do you need any help or do you offer help. I offer help.. but I also need some guest bloggers and also maybe an intern.
* Promote yourself:
While I have been at the top of a couple of corporations, helped launch many a brand and company, I also like working within a team environment to help companies gain traction and engagement.

Hi Adrienne – what a great idea!
* Introduce yourself
My name is Tom Jamieson and I am a part-time blogger and full-time IT student. I have a BA in psychology and an MA in Christian Education.
* What do you do
I have a regular job during the week working for a government social services agency. I have a part time job on the weekends working for a national veterinary company. Online I blog about SEO, social media, blogging, web design, etc. I also provide some support to Brian at Blog Engage. In addition, I write a monthly post at We Blog Better and EM Fast Income. I have contributed to Fuel Your Blogging as well and hope to again in the future.
* What are you passionate about
I am passionate about learning. I am always reading — both online and offline. I plan to graduate in the next 2 years with my IT degree in web design. I then hope to use it to offer web design services to churches and other non profits at a reasonable price. I always root for the little guy.
* Do you need any help or do you offer help
I always need help. Whether it’s web design, SEO, social media — anything online. I always want to know more and better ways to do things. I am also willing to help in anyway I can with these. I’m a big believer in community.
* Promote yourself
I’m an ordained minister so I can officiate weddings and funerals. I’m a professionally trained public speaker and conference leader, so I love helping others learn. Let me know how I can help!
Thanks, Adrienne. Have a great day!

Hi Tom,
Glad you stopped by to promote yourself and think it’s a great idea. I think it’s a great platform for others to introduce themselves and do a little self promotion. It never hurt right!
Wow, you do a lot of stuff Tom. I’m so impressed that you’re going to school full-time while you have a regular job and one on the weekends plus everything that you contribute to online. My goodness, I’m tired just reading it all. What a great guy you are.
I have no doubt that whatever you chose to do in life will be successful. You have a huge heart, I can tell that already.
Thanks Tom and enjoy your day!
