I’m Celebrating With A Giveaway!

Jul-28-2009 By Barbara Zak

I first started blogging in March of 2008.  I’ll admit I’m not very techie, but at that time I was determined that blogging was going to be my retirement career.  All I knew is I wanted to write. The rest I hoped would just take care of itself.  I had written some good posts, and gotten some favorable response, but nothing that knocked my socks off.  I knew there had to be a better way.

I fell in love with Forced Green, and longed for something that beautiful. There  was a widget on that site about Whole-Hog-Blogs.  I just had to know what that was.  I was amazed at what they had to offer, and for a reasonable price. They even offer help and training forever, or until you feel confident to do some of the behind the scene things on your own.  It was precisely what I needed so, I joined the Whole-Hog-Blogs network last July.  It has been among the BEST decisions I have made.

Theresa Cahill and Jeff Greer, employ the best ways to social media market your website or blog.  Unlike the old ways of cold calling, direct mail, or even randomly harassing people…all the proven things that don’t work.  I can assure you they have a system that WORKS!  Whole-hog-blogs couples online SEO marketing, with the proper amount of social marketing and networking, with a little ezine marketing thrown in.  It is a magical combination that pulls customers to you.  Everytime, I check my stats, I’m amazed at where I started and how far I’ve come in a year!  They helped me choose a theme, that totally is me and helps me express who I am to my audience.

Between the two of them, Theresa and Jeff have 10 plus years of experience online.  So, if you are struggling in these tough times, perhaps you need to take the plunge and rely on yourself.  This truly is the easiest, most effective way to market yourself, and your blog or business online.  Whole Hog Blogs –  The system that brings unstoppable traffic right to your door!  Give it a try …You’ll be glad you did!

Barbara’s Ladybug Has A Mall !

Oct-13-2008 By Barbara Zak

That’s right!  She has only been gracing my blog for 96 days, yet she has proven herself to be very welcoming and popular.  She’s been a good luck charm and inspired many green articles, as well as helped me cover everything from the odds of autism, to diet and autism, the gas crisis, and much more.

She is such a wonderful people greeter, that I decided to name my power mall after her.

My Ladybug Mall

Did  you know that 70% of people on-line have a disability?  Many others are looking for ways to make money on-line, supplement their income, or quit their day job.  I took this decision very seriously and searched hard to find the right things to put on my blog.  I think I made the right choice with my power mall.  Soon, there will be other money making ideas showing up here also.

If you’re looking for a business opportunity, I’m so glad because it means you want to change your life. I’m sure you already know how important it is to find that right opportunity. When I started looking for a business I knew that 97% of people who try to find financial freedom through a home-based business fail so I knew whatever I chose had to be different!

There were certain “Givens.”

o It had to be FREE so every person who wanted to change their lives would have a chance.

o It had to be simple.

o It had to take away all the “business games” that kept most people from succeeding in a home-based business.

The “Givens” were answered when I found MY POWER MALL!

I’m not going to take time to explain it because MY POWER MALL has created some powerful movies and a great website that will do just that. I will tell you it is totally new, totally FREE, very simple, and can be done in conjunction with anything else you are doing to generate financial freedom. You could easily be making $4 – 6000 a month, but your income potential is unlimited. Interested?

Click the widget, here at the top right of the inner sidebar, that says earn income! Then click on the 3 different widgets, and watch the videos, to determine which program is best for you. It will only take a few minutes to determine if our FREE program is what you have been looking for. I believe it is!
