My Walkin’ Shoes
Today’s picture is one of Aubree’s new sandals. She had a pair of sandals, but they had a bad habit of falling off her feet every few steps. A real pain in the butt when we’re walking through a store. So I picked these up for her. They have the back with the thing that goes around the ankle to hold them on. No more shoe losing for us this summer. Also, with her obsession over Dora, she’s bound to like them. She already seems to. She’s wearing them now for no reason at all.

Last night I heard a quote on the news that I first thought was, “Their are more important things to worry about than violence and video games.”
That prompted me to think about how someone could find violence to not be worth worrying about right now. Then I realized something, how much you want to bet I misheard the person on the news? How much you want to bet that and was actually the word in?
Then that made me think about how one little word can completely change the meaning of a phrase. I don’t know if the person actually said and or in, I never reheard that phrase in the news since. If it was a misunderstanding on my part, not the person who said it, then I have to wonder if I’m the only person who heard the word and when they were listening to the news.

I think writing is going well for me lately. I could use some more business opportunities that I can write about. The problem is having enough information on the biz op to write about them. I don’t always have enough info. I emailed one once and they never replied. They had only a small paragraph on what they offer.
Anyway, I was able to get something on one biz op, a decent amount of information once I swam through the bull promotion stuff on owning your own business. Without good information even if it’s covered in bull, it’s impossible to write something informative about a biz op.
I did, however, get two very good interviews and was able to post them yesterday. One of them is another giveaway, the other is just an interview. Either way, they were both good I think. I really enjoy interviewing new WAHM’s. I’ve long since learned that about 99% of them have the same answer for how they manage to run a business and take care of their family. Every so often, though, I get an answer that is way out of left field when compared to the usual answers I get. I love those.
I think I have something like 8 interviews out waiting for reply right now. They’re quite slow.
I’ve been doing my math lately and if I could get 10 $2 posts up a day - 5 days a week, I would make $100 a week. Do you know how helpful that would be? As soon as I receive some more biz ops to write about, I will. Although I might find myself digging for them myself just so I don’t have to wait on a list any longer. I am ready to get started and to writing more.

On Write To Press I haven’t received any more messages from people interested in a free press release. I am a little disappointed. On the other hand, I just need to promote some more. The one I finished last week, she was nice. She told me she liked it and that she’d let people know about my services. So if one person likes my work, I’m hoping some more people will come in and give me a try to find that they like my work too. Once I start selling press releases, I am charging $30 a release and it has the potential of earning me a decent monthly wage.
I actually have some more promoting I need to do. I recently wrote a great article I’d like to submit to some free article websites where it’ll help promote my services a little while using a large article on small business advertising. I will probably spend some of my time during the day today to do that. I need to get the word out some more to bring in some new customers. When I have a little extra money, I’m probably going to invest in google adwords. We’ll see on that one, though.
My last resort would be offering my services to small businesses directly. Finding a couple that are small and look like they would benefit from a press release.
I think I might have just thought up a decent idea in words. I’d offer my services for free in return for using the release as an example. I might have to take that proactive approach to help with bringing in some real customers, not just free pr takers.

I have to get going for the day. My stomach says it’s breakfast time. Until later.
