How to find a job

Hey Guys,

sorry I haven't posted in a while. I just got a job! I know what you're thinking. "what? but all the news channels say there are no jobs."

I know, but I don't believe them:)

In fact, I just got an awesome job this week! I'll be writing articles for an online company but the owner is from australia. Sometimes I think to myself wow, things have come a long way...

To think that you can work for someone that lives on the other side of the world is pretty amazing right? I thought so. So I guess there are some jobs left.... just sayin.

While we're on the topic, check out my employers website at articlemarketingco.com

Here are a few ways to find a job (you have to look in the right places):

1 first you should ask yourself a few questions like

Do I like working outside or inside?
Am I good with numbers or critical/analytical reading assignments?
Do I prefer mental or physical work?

These will clear your thoughts and help you figure out what jobs you are most suited for.

2 Start searching. If you want something that is more flexible that can be worked from home or at certain hours, consider starting online. Type in things like at online jobs and see what pops up. Of course, I think Ebay is a great place to start if you have a knack for buying and selling for profit.

If you want something more local start asking friends, family, and previous employers if there is work available. If you want something physical and outdoors, talk to some yard service businesses.

3 Make a good impression. Apply. Return phone calls. Be on time for interviews. You know, all the basics.

4 Don't quit after you get one rejection. Keep looking.

That's all I can tell you. Pretty much.... if you want a job, get one. There are plenty of them out there. If you have bulldog tenacity you just might end up managing the leg or arm of a huge company.

The key is, as Winston Churchill put it:

Never, never, never give up!

Expand Your Education: On a $1 a day

Okay guys, so today I have to share with you the biggest and latest tip I've come across this week:

How would you like to "expand your education" on only a dollar a day?

The latest book I've been reading is How To Talk To Anyone by Leil Lowndes

This book is a must read! I absolutely love it. It gives you '92 little tricks for big success in relationships.' 

Whether you're a businessman or woman, a stay at home mom, or college hunk that wants to be the center of a conversation, this book is the trick. 

One of the tips found in this great read, is to listen to or read something that is happening right now before you walk out the door to meet with someone; whether it be an old friend, a potential client, or a new acquaintance. 

So this morning I went to the closest gas station and got my copy of USA Today. It was the last copy! I had gone to pick one up yesterday but was too late (tip: get there before 9:00am). Apparently, it really is the nation's most popular paper, its the only one that always gets sold out. 

Anyway, it only cost me a $1.07 (including tax). 

Now today whenever I need something to talk about, I'll have a load of topics up my sleeve. It's a good idea to switch it up too. Buy a local paper every now and then too so you can know what's going on in your own community. 

This is what I got from skimming over the paper for about 15 minutes:

(in the News section) "Women allowed into Marine infantry training as experiment."

(in the Money section) it reads "October known for spooky stuff on Wall St." 

(cover story) "what voters want in tonight's debate." 

USA Today has sports, news, money, and life sections which will keep you up to date on pretty much everything. 

So that's how you can expand your education on a dollar a day..... or you can always turn on the tv to the news channel.... if you have time. 

pretty cool, huh? 

Cheers America 

ready for the holidays?

perseverance: the trait of real winners

Today didn't start out so great..... I've been working all week on my latest ebook(finally finishing it yesterday) and I've been working on getting the marketing side of this book ready for promotion. Simply, its been a lot of work..... sometimes I don't know how I can spend another moment in front of the computer screen....honestly.... I don't think my eyes can take any more of it! Not to mention the fact that I sold an item on Ebay yesterday for less than I was expecting and I thought I was going to lose money on it.

But non the less, I'm still going forward.... I read recently that billionaires and the people that are on their way to becoming one, always choose to give 15 minutes more thought to their problems than the average person.

That's what I'm trying to do.... so far, it seems to be working:) Today even though I'm a little tired I have two ebooks that are done and on a free promotion this weekend.

As for Ebay.... I decided to try something new. It paid off... I had never payed online for shipping before and now I'm not sure I'll ever step foot into a USPS again....:) It cost me less than I thought so now I'm still making money....

I scheduled a free carrier pick up and I don't even have to go to the post office myself and worry about getting there before they close early(on saturday). And how long did this bonus take?

15 extra minutes.....

maybe there is something to this trick.....

Now this weekend I'll just sit back and relax and let my hard work pay off for me....

As Robert Kiyosaki says, "it's not about working harder, it's about working smarter."

have a great weekend!

And remember, don't give up just yet.... your biggest breakthrough may only be about 15 minutes away...

First day of fall... my gift to you!

Today is the first day of fall! Or, autumn, as some people like to call it.

I always feel particularly happy and optimistic on days like these. You know, when you have something to look forward to…

 As many of you know, I’ve grown up my whole life in Florida, and this summer has been very wet… we’ve had a couple of tropical storms come though and it honestly feels like I’m living in the Amazon! :)

 But despite the weather (it’s always hot and humid), I absolutely love Florida! Although the weather is not likely to have any drastic changes, it’s still always nice to welcome a new season after a long and hot summer. 

And what does this season have to offer??

Oh, you know, all of the typical pleasures of fall: football season, family reunions, turkey trots, Thanksgiving, Halloween, leaves falling, and cooler weather (for some of us):)

Personally, Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite! I love spending time with my family and eating a delicious meal at the same time. I mean, who doesn’t?!

But while this season is always fun, I realize that it is only here in America that we get to experience these kind of pleasures. In other countries around the world, this season has no such hopes or things to look forward to.

 And as an American, this season also means a season of giving; after all, it’s what our country was founded on. In fact, the Thanksgiving holiday has been celebrated here in America even before President Lincoln declared it a holiday to be celebrated by all 50 states in 1863.

But what can I do to give this season? You may ask. Well, how bout try this:

This fall rather than just being thankful for the freedoms that we enjoy, let’s take it a step further. Why not set some goals for giving?

There are always ways to give and here are a few ideas to start off the season with:

• If you can’t give on a financial level, just help out at home in whatever way you can. Volunteer to do the dishes this Thanksgiving, or bless one of your neighbors with some pumpkin pie. You will be surprised by how far one act of kindness can travel.

• Get involved in your community and see where you can help. If you are a business owner, see if there are local sports teams you can sponsor, or help feed some people at some local food drives.

• If you want to take it to a worldwide level, you could find a cause that you want to promote and give to, and then get others to help with volunteering, donations, etc.

But if you want to make a really big difference this season, you are going to need some back up though. That means you have to get the word out; and where is the biggest audience today?

Social Media! That’s why I’m starting off this season by giving you a FREE copy of my latest ebook:

The Ultimate Conservative’s Guide to Social Media

Now, before you read any further, let me assure you that while the title says it’s for conservative’s, the content of this book is for ANYONE that wants to start using social media to promote anything and everything that you believe in.

It will teach you how to use it without getting sucked into the time wasting flaws of today’s top sites and start using them to your advantage.

So go grab your copy today! It’s only available for two days (September 22-23) on Amazon so hurry before you miss out.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it and that you will be truly blessed this fall :)

Don't have a Kindle? No problem.... you can get a free reading app for your iphone, ipad, tablet, and more here
