Not Much

Have you ever had one of those days where ideas are just flowing through your mind and won't leave you alone? Today is one of those days. I didn't have to go to the courthouse for jury duty today (not tomorrow either, I just called in to find out) so I at least was able to get the ideas written down.

I haven't gotten anything finished today. I've been working on the autoresponder book. Have the outline for that done. I'll be able to write tomorrow. Every thing is ready to go.

Below you will see an uplifting video about how annoying things can be your salvation. It's uplifing and inspiring.

Have a great evening,

Sunday March 29, 2009 Catchy isn't it?

Hi all,

Well, it's been another busy Sunday, one of my favorite days. (Okay, I like them all - most of the time). Today I didn't have to preach, one of the women in our congregation is preaching for a few weeks. She's doing great by the way. So today, I was in charge of children's church. Gotta love Veggie Tales!

- Today I did a little studying about product creation.
- Still working on another ebook about autoresponder's a email marketing.
- Went on Chris Farrells membership site. Watched some great video's, one on email signatures.
Decided I really need to add one. Do you like any of these?

I Went Shopping Today - Okay, I Worked A Little Too

I took time today to go shopping with my daughter - in - law. Although they're legally married they still want to have their church wedding, so we went shopping for wedding items. We had a great time. We bought the topper for the cake, the cake cutter and server, the groom and bride champagne glasses, photo album, guest book.... well, you get the picture. What you may not know about me is that I HATE to shop. But it was great to spend time with my daugher - in - law.

Before I went shopping, I watched this great video on email marketing. It's a little over an hour long, but I think it's worth the time. Have a look. I took a ton of notes!

Watch the video here:

Templates

I've been playing with a template this morning. I'm not finished but I'm starting to get the hang of it. You can see what I've done here: http://www.frugalebizproducts.com/test.html What do you think? Do you like this template?

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Hmmmmm

Okay, so I was a tiny bit overconfident. Figured out the links with the template, now I just have to find the time to add some content, upload it and let you see it.

Busy Day

Today's a busy day. I have some counseling sessions this morning and church tonight. I have a few minutes right now so I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to.

Last night I did a search for some free html templates. I found a few I liked and downloaded them. I made a few changes to them, the color and my site name. Next I'll play with the links section and see what I can do with that. Everything I tried last night didn't work so that's what I'm working on this afternoon. I'll put it up on my website later today so you can see my progress.

I thought you might like to see some of the things I did earlier this year (or was it late last year?, I can't remember). I played around with hub pages and squidoo. Here's the links:

Then here are some things I did on You Tube using the mind movies software:

Gotta go, talk later. Have a great day!

Never Thought of Doing That

Hi all,

I had someone suggest that I should write a daily blog of what I am doing, what I've learned about putting up websites and internet marketing. I've also had requests to help with email marketing, autoresponders, as well as to put on a local workshop for people who want to learn how to write and market their books.

I thought about it for a while and decided they all fit in with my personal mission statement and my plan for my websites. So... here goes.

I didn't begin yesterday because I try to take Monday's off. I am a pastor as well as all the other things I do, and Sunday's are the busiest day of the week for me. So Monday's are my days to relax, read, clean house, cook and do laundry.

One of our church member's asked me how I accomplish all that I do. It's simple, though not easy. If you want to do something, you make time for it. One of my favorite quotes is this, "If you can be stopped, you will be". I refuse to be stopped. I take one minute, one hour, one day at a time and do what I can do.

For learning how to put up websites, I've learned in 10 - 20 minute increments. I've learned how to take the small minutes I have and use them for something productive. Some day's I have large blocks of time, other days a little time, and still other days no time. I use the time I do have. I learned long ago that if you wait until you have perfect conditions NOTHING will get done.

Today I went through my website plan to decide what I want to learn next. I use small sticky notes to write down the things I want to do for the day. I don't write them in a planner. Why? Because I am a pastor, I'm on call 24/7. Some days do not go according to plan. People are important and they come first. Since I cannot stand to see something written in a book and not finished, I put everything I need to do on sticky notes and put the sticky notes in the planner. Then I stack them according to importance. If something doesn't get done, then it goes on the next days date. Keeps life simple for me.

Tomorrow, I'm playing with templates to see if I can find one that works the way I want it to for my website. We'll see how THAT goes. :)

To view my websites and check my progress they are:

I used what I learned from Chris Farrell's book and video's "Create Your First Website By 3:45 This Afternoon..." http://myplace123.farrell09.hop.clickbank.net/

Have a great day,
Marilyn
