      • My Challenge to Rich Schefren and the ATTENTION AGE DOCTRINE

        Posted in Online Business, Personal Baby Steps, Viral Marketing, by Andrea Yager
      • 9 Comments

    •  
      Rich Schefren, one of the top business coaches online today, has done it AGAIN!!
       
      A year or two ago he sent waves through the net with his Manifestos, drawing attention to how many businesses/individuals lack a good business strategy. Following this, he opened up his coaching program, and became a household name among online marketers (and probably started getting flooded with credit cards).
       
      This time, his report highlights how we have accelerated quickly past the information age into the interruption age, and are sitting pretty in the attention age.. There is so much technology and ‘life’ being thrown at us, that small business owners have to work double time to acheive the same results, and we spend most of our days being unproductive..
       
      Check out this free report HERE.
       
      I for one can attest to that. I know that I have children, including a baby who likes to be held, but why does it take me days sometimes to get one complete blog post written?
       
      Rich is offering a nice bonus for the individual who drums up the most attention for his new report.
       
      I created 2 videos. The first was meant to be the only one, but the comments I heard encouraged me to make another one:
       
      “disgusting”
      “immoral”
      “awesome”
      “you may finally have success”
      “bad taste”
       
      It was that last one that didnt sit well with me. I am quite the G-d fearing girl and didnt want to be leaving videos around the web with ‘bad taste’. Although, since it was totally a matter of opinion, I still left it up to be seen and will include the links here..
       
      In the 2nd video, I removed the ‘offensive’ material and made some other changes.. This is called the ‘clean version’ and used most of the material of the first video changing the last 30 seconds or so. Maybe less people will wonder what the heck is going on when they view this one!
       
      My video example highlights more how I personally am trying to juggle my work, family life, other commitments.. I imagine growing up in a Mom and Pop rural town before the new technology must have had it’s advantages.. Well in a matter of years we have gone from Mom and Pop to everyone being able to peek into each others rooms, lives, culture, etc.. One of the reasons I want to earn more money is to actually have more time to enjoy all the new technology, information, entertainment the world has to provide (sans the smut)

       
      My first video I attempted to do something attention grabbing. Check out this video and be warned… you may not want to watch with children around.. Second to stripping (not happening) I tried to use whatever means I had available to me and my NON existant video creation skills to illustrate that I know how to grab attention!
       
      Here is video 1: Rated R
       

       
      Let me know what you thought of it :)
       

      Here is video #2: Rated G
       

       
      I hope you guys enjoyed my efforts. I worked very very VERY VERY hard. I may have used some other props, but that baby is all MINE + the Mom who needs computer help + the other 3 children + job + working for myself + a car with no a/c in the MIDDLE EAST heat…as I write this my children are playing doctor as me being the patient.. but Rich, I am all HERE. 100% focused :) and ready for part II.

      • Are you a Creator or Implementor.. Either Way.. I got you covered!

    • I was sitting down today trying to decide what to write about. I had a post all ready to go about a friend who is offering cheap hosting for life - as in you pay a fee one time, and then you never pay again. Sounds exciting right? Well, as I was asking for some more details, he informed me that his server was hacked and *expletive*, *expletive*, *expletive*… 

       

      so I had to regroup… and a post will be coming about top rated hosts. I am in the middle of switching and have lots to share.. such as how I wrote this ENTIRE post, went to sleep, and woke up to see it GONE, since the migration of my site happened BEFORE I wrote the post, and it was LOST… *expletive*, *expletive*, *expletive*…

       

       

      So get used to todays topic, since It is also a MISSION…

       

       

      I have been around the workforce enough to recognize 2 types of workers (there are MANY more, but we will focus on these for now)

      • Will it be ME??

    • I thought I was going to get my life back… as in back to regular full time mommy, full time part time job, full time part time running a small business, full time part time running this blog, full time part time working on other residual streams of income, etc. etc.. but then.. 2 things happened:

       
       

      1) I MADE IT TO THE TOP 50!!! for nextinternetmillionaire.com. I have to submit a new video by tomorrow night (aka tonight since its after midnight) and try out to get a spot as one of the ‘lucky 12′.. if you call going on a show and possibly getting humiliated and kicked off right away lucky that is! Well.. I am not so pleased with how my video is turning out. I think I like the idea, but I cant do it properly without professional video graphics, of which I dont have access or knowledge of.

       
       

      Check out the top50

      2) My continuation with StomperNet - I orignally signed up last month for a $1 trial period of a month. They are otherwise known as the group that ‘Stomps the search engine’ and has a pretty large group of successful online entrepreuners paying $797 per month. Knowing full well that I could not continue at that price, I expected it to be a one month glimpse. However, they rolled out their $97/month option and I decided to do it for at least this month. First of all, they deserve it for what they gave me for $1, second of all.. I did not have the time to follow through last months work due to number 1) above!!

      • Outsourcing Blues…Avoid the Mess I am in..

        Posted in Online Business, Outsourcing, Things I learned Today, by Andrea Yager
      • 0 Comments


    • Outsourcing is 2 things:

      1. Hiring someone to do that which you CAN’T do:


      Need a better design, database programming, or blogging plugins, but technically unable?? Go on over to my outsourcer of choice -Scriptlance (BUT FIRST READ THIS ENTIRE POST!!) and get it done for a great price…


      2. Hiring someone to do that which you dont WANT to do:


      Due to number 1, Outsourcing is ‘Kosher’, otherwise its a little Elitist - those who put a higher $ to their time, outsource ‘time consuming’ or ‘menial’ tasks to those who are willing to work for less.. Except for my cleaning lady who earns more than I do.


      People even use outsourcing to order tasks and then hike up the prices to clients / consumers, but thats a story for another time.


      Read my story to know how to OUTSOURCE WISELY:


      A few months ago I wake up in the middle of the night with an Awesome idea..

      • If you WANT something you have to ASK FOR IT

    • Yes, I have taken my small life and put it OUT THERE. For the world to ridicule, judge, love.. and VOTE.. I hope…


      I know I am in good company with the quality of video created and I used that as an excuse to allow me to say enough is enough. Part of me kept saying ‘this is an opportunity that does not come up EVER!’ The other part was saying ‘this is one more distraction you cant afford to allow in your life right now’. So I combined both and spent HOURS (and DAYS) to offer a crappy submission :)

      I am sure you are all RUNNING to vote for me now. Really. Go. NOW and VOTE 10 (or I will come after you).

      http://www.nextinternetmillionaire.com/show.php?id=1232

      or Watch Here.. But when you are done - click on link above, or if you move over to YouTube click on link in the description to the right of the page - it will take you straight to my voting page (no sign up).

      Afterwards I regretted not saying MORE about myself. So I uploaded to YouTube a blooper video. However I ended up not not accomplishing what I set out to do.. except for having FUN! (watch to see a Shameless PLUG for a Music Group)

      Thats enough for today… ~~~ ANDREA

      • Whats the BEEF with Traffic?? Here’s the MEAT - 10 FREE TRAFFIC TIPS.

      It seems that when it comes to the roads, noone wants traffic, but when it comes to the WEB, its ALL about the traffic.  

       

      Many people, myself included, would like to believe that we are going to dump good money into a solid looking website, and then the people are just going to come.. or maybe we will email our parents and friends and that’s all it will take for the business to really take off. 

       

      One of my favorite lines from one of the greatest movies in the ’80’s: 

       

      “IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME”… 

       

       

      It could not be LESS true with the WEB! ..  

       

      Off the top of my head, here are a list of suggestions. These are just 10 FREE traffic tools. (of like 50!).. Paid will be another day.
