Tahoe Cacade Video

This is my first You Tube Video.

It was created on an I-Mac using I-Movie software.
I used two Lake Tahoe Images from my Photo Library.
I also added a new You Tube application called Audio Swap.

I will keep you posted on my progress.

Thanks for visiting.

The Image is not Reality

I usually start my days off with some form of meditation.
For over a year now, this has taken the form of writing.
I firmly believe that each day can become much more enjoyable
and creative when we begin with focus on our true life force.
This can also be described as our spirit or our "connectedness".

Words are best used as sign posts to higher meaning. In fact,
one of the only ways to describe the truly important words in life
like; Love, Spirit, and Connectedness, is to speak of them in the
language of poetry and metaphor. Also, you can say what a word
like Love is not.

The noise that is created when the word "Love" is spoken conjures
up vastly different meanings to many people. In fact, this is one of
the main reasons why there is so much conflict and confusion in
our present world. The image of something is never real, it is merely
an image. When more people begin to discover this simple idea,
then and only then will we begin to truly love and care for others.

In the same way that we are all simply passing briefly through this
life and we never truly own or possess anything, you can say that;

"Love possesses not nor would it be possessed,
For Love is sufficient with Love"

Working Together for Fun and Adventure

Back in February I was a member of an on-line community called
the Wealthy Affiliates. I learned a great deal from these people and
would highly recommend them to anyone who is serious about
making money from home using the power of the internet.

The following is a post that I ran at that time. It was intended to
help me connect with people that have the same interest in
creating a successful home based business. I am again seeking
some people to collaborate with. If this article speaks to you,
please contact me and we can set up a phone conversation to
discuss the possibilities.

Thanks in advance for your interest:

Together We will Be Successful

Original Post Date : 2/3/09

I have been a member of the Wealthy Affiliates Community for almost
two months. I have learned about keyword research, creating effective
Landing Pages, and the importance of relevancy. I intend to continue
learning about this incredible Internet Marketing Industry for a long time.

I have created two Sales Campaigns using Google Adwords which uses
Pay Per Click Advertising. The first one was very experimental and I
discontinued it after only about a week. The second was is showing
some good promise, and I will probably see some good results soon.

In order to accelerate my learning curve I have determined that I need
to start actively searching for people to work with me. I have some good
ideas on creating relevant Landing Pages and Domain Names. However,
I have not spent enough time with my business because of the annoying
necessity to keep paying my bills the old fashion way by being a carpenter.

I believe that I can contribute some good energy to other people that
would also like to accelerate their business plans.

Now, one of the things that I am learning is that people who are starting
to become successful should keep their own specific techniques somewhat
secret. This, of course, conflicts with the notion that people working
together in a true spirit of cooperation will become successful faster.
And, there is much to be said about those folks that are very excited
because they have figured out how to make some initial sales on their
own.

I really don't have any easy answer to this basic conflict of ideas. However,
I do know that I am determined to make good money in this business and
I will continue to learn more effective sales strategies every day.

Please let me know if you have some ideas on working together. The only
way that this type of relationship could work would be if all the people
involved are truly helping each other succeed.

Kyle and Carson have created a unique opportunity for success in this
highly lucrative Internet Marketing Business. It will become even more
effective as more people learn how to work together in harmony towards
mutually beneficial goals.

Tell Your Story

When I first became a member of Wealthy Affiliates, I was involved
with a network marketing company called Pro Builder Plus. I wasn't
having any success enrolling any new members, so I was doing a
Google search for help. My keywords were; "Pro Builder Plus". I think
it was the third natural search result on page one that caught my eye,
so I clicked on it. The author of the page that I was directed to told a
story about his failure with Pro Builder Plus that sounded alot like my
experience.

It was mostly because of this similarity of stories that I followed his
link to the Wealthy Affiliate site and signed up right away. This same
situation probably goes on alot in the internet marketing business
these days, because people are constantly searching for help and
have no real idea who they should get it from.

I have been studying my eight-week course with WA for about six
weeks now. And, I can safely say that the information that I have
learned is some very valuable stuff. I now know how to sign up
for affiliate programs, how to do keyword research, I have discovered
Squidoo and EzineArticles, and I am learning about opt-in pages
and the value of creating a mailing list. However, I sill haven't made
any sales. This is probably not unusually because I am pretty sure
that it simply takes some time to put it all together.

So, I am starting to see that one of the most important aspects of
this "learning curve" that I am on is creating a "relevant" landing page.
For me, the one that brought me to this Wealthy Affiliate community
was the most relevant that I have seen.

By telling his story, that Wealthy Affiliate member, ( who, by the way,
I would really like to communicate with ), convinced me almost
instantly that there was some value in joining. In the same way, by
telling an authentic and truthful story, I am pretty sure that I will gain
acceptance and some success in these critical beginning stages of
my Internet Marketing journey.

If this has been helpful to anyone, please let me know by responding

Thanks in advance for your help.
