Affiliate Marketers Walk For a Cure
Missy Ward who is co founder of Affiliate Summit has put together an incredible team of Affiliate Marketers to Participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. The 3-Day is a 60 mile walk celebrating the amazing lives of people who have suffered the effects of Breast Cancer organized by the Susan Komen Foundation. Both of my grandmothers were diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Both women faced the disease with amazing grace an courage.
The Affiliate Marketers Give Back team has set a goal to raise $30,000 for this years event which is nearly double what they raised last year. If you would like to join the team or donate please visit Affiliates Give Back.
Kudos to Missy Ward and the Affiliates Give Back team for taking on such an enormous challenge and raising funds for an incredible cause.
How to Balance Using Google Calendar
After Outlook Office took a dive on me I started to take off my microsoft office blinders and look into other alternatives to run my email and my calendar. I found that Google Calendar truly fit my life and my needs as a busy mom and as work from home professional.
1. I can check my calendar from my mobile phone without syncing or anything else just find it and use it. That is my biggest thrill is one unified calendar.
2. I love how easy it is to add more than one calendar and use the public calendars as well. For instance I use my calendar for all of my appointments etc. Then I created a calendar for each kids schedule. Now I can easily overlap the calendars and see when we have scheduling conflict or isolate the calendar for printing it in a single sheet to display on the family communication which is the refrigerator.
3. I adore the ability to add recurring events relatively easily such as birthdays, anniversaries etc.
4. Public Calendars. If you want Faith Hills touring schedule or my personal favorite the Nebraska Husker Football schedule you can easily search the public calendars and have them incorporated into your on schedule with just a few clicks.
5. I took this calendar one step further. I enjoy providing my family with decent meals and also try to diet on occasion so I created an entirely separate calendar with a weeks worth of meal planning, created a standard shopping list for that week. The benefit to creating the menu calendar is the ability to rotate the week worth of meals using the recurring feature. My kids eat the same things tacos, pizza, sub sandwiches etc. Occasionally I toss in a new menu item but for the most part your standard meals rotate. A standardized shopping this and a recurring menu saves me time and a ton of engry deciding what to put on the table at night.
I realize this topic is off base for marketing but it does allow me more time for marketing and more time to spend with my kids which is the point of working from home.
PPC Coach Best PPC Marketing Coach
I wanted to learn PPC. Ebooks sure, free videos wonderful but I wanted access to the real earners in ppc. I joined one class/membership program at a whopping $300 per month. A few tracking tools and some other interesting stuff but nothing so stellar that would require me to continue to drop $300 per month.
I laid off he ppc for awhile and came across the PPC Coach. At $51 per month seemed reasonable and definitely worth some exploration.
This was the jackpot of PPC Coaching. Here’s what I found when I joined.
1. Instant access to th PPC Coach who makes well over $10K per month. $10K per month is probably being modest because I am sure he is raking even more than that. When I mean instant access I mean you can use the forum to send pm’s and they will be answered by the coach personally. In the more expensive course I did get a consultation with a member of the team but continued personal coaching would have required over $1000.
2. The coach starts you off small with a simple and easy technique. Don’t go into this course guns blazing wanting answers to all the PPC questions you have. Take the course 1 month at a time. Learn each technique with out trying to jump ahead and soon you will be meeting your financial goals.
3. The forum. The forum is wild, crazy and super informative. Ask a question and you will get not 1 but oodles of answers from all the members on the forum. The forum is hot and moves quickly. It is active day and night. You will meet people from all over the world on the forum.
4. Inspirational. The coach is big on goal setting. He allows you to post your goals and encourages the members to post their success and even their frustrations. After being on the forum a little over 5 months now I see the learning curve being about 3-5 months. This is not a get rich quick class even though it certain can be and has been for a few. The most encouraging thing I read on the forum is those who struggle and struggle and then find their success. Again I see this program as a money maker for those who can put forth about 6 months of effort following the lessons.
5. Tools. One of the biggest issues with PPC is learning how to format the campaigns quickly. One thing the coach does is adds tools frequently. The latest 2 tools include a massive ad tracker and campaign rotator. This thing has to be worth $50 per month on its own but it is included in the membership. The other is the tool that allows you to post your campaigns on the Big 3 PPC Engines (Google, Yahoo and MSN) huge time saver when you really dig into ppc. The other tools are just as awesome and are included in the package.
Overall I think the PPC Coach program is definitely worth a look and certainly worth the continued membership if you want to profit from PPC in the next 3 to 6 months.
