Breathe

 

Breathe.

Breathing can transform your life.

If you feel stressed out and overwhelmed, breathe. It will calm you and release the tensions.

If you are worried about something coming up, or caught up in something that already happened, breathe. It will bring you back to the present.

If you are discouraged and have forgotten your purpose in life, breathe. It will remind you about how precious life is, and that each breath in this life is a gift you need to appreciate. Make the most of this gift.

If you have too many tasks to do, or are scattered during your workday, breathe. It will help bring you into focus, to concentrate on the most important task you need to be focusing on right now.

If you are spending time with someone you love, breathe. It will allow you to be present with that person, rather than thinking about work or other things you need to do.

If you are exercising, breathe. It will help you enjoy the exercise, and therefore stick with it for longer.

If you are moving too fast, breathe. It will remind you to slow down, and enjoy life more.

So breathe. And enjoy each moment of this life. They’re too fleeting and few to waste.

 

Tip: Put the word “Breathe” as a screensaver or desktop pic, or put it up as a note on your wall or fridge or on your desk. Then do it every time you see the word.

Beginner Marketers – Fast Track To Make Money Online

Beginner marketers need to understand certain fundamental concepts to succeed online.

Internet marketing has many techniques and strategies in it. Learn the basics first instead of trying to jump ahead to the advanced techniques. There is free marketing and paid marketing. Start with free methods first and earn while you learn. Be consistent in your marketing efforts, don’t give up just because you don’t see instant results.
Decide first on what marketing to work on. For example the first day write an article. Then the second day turn that article into a video. This is called recycling your content.

Many people have over analysis paralysis. To learn how to make money online you must apply what you learn. They think that they have to learn everything about a topic first. Ignorance on fire is better than knowledge on ice. Many beginner marketers try to make excuses for not getting started. This is one of the many obstaces that stand in their way. Think about a child learns to walk, when it falls does it stop trying? no. Never give up.
The basics of marketing are content. Have you heard that content is king? Well it is true. The one who controls the content then is higher than the king. Content is only a piece of the marketing puzzle.

Here is a list of some of the basics of internet marketing:

1. Online Classifieds
2. Traffic Exchanges
3. Discussion Forums
4. Blogs
5. safelists
6. Online Classified Advertising
7. Newspaper and Magazine Articles
8. Email Marketing
9. Forum Posting
10. Ezines
11. Social Media

Advanced Marketing
12. Video marketing
13. Guerrilla Marketing
14. Pay-per-click
15. SEO  search engine optimization

Don’t Think! Just Point and Shoot! Day Two

So did you take my advice yesterday and just point and shoot at something in your house?! Umm.. why not?! Maybe you just need a little inspiration!

My inspiration is knowing that my husband is just days away from getting home from overseas. He was supposed to be home today but got delayed due to weather and corporate travel plan glitches. Since he hasn’t actually been in our new home here in Florida (we moved here while he was away), I’m just shooting at “whatever” and adding a little word art to send to him! Sounds corny, I know but trust me, after 60+ days away and really wanting to get the hell out of the war zone, something as simple as a photo like this works wonders.

So come on, go take a photo of something interesting in your home (or studio, guesthouse, office, barn, wherever) and come post it on my Facebook Fan Page if you like! I’d love to see! It doesn’t have to be something significant. Pillows are fun to photograph as are colorful fabrics, clothes, scarves, etc.

Great Gift Idea: Glass Coaster Photo Art

Just a fun little project I did with some glass coasters. I took a photo of a place mat set I had, printed them out and inserted them in the coasters!

It’s a very easy project to do and makes a great gift. I received compliments on them each time my guests saw them. These ones from Amazon will hold a 3″x3″ photo or drawing. Just print, cut and insert them in the coaster’s photo placeholder.
