some coffee pictures and update

2009-11-10T16:25:00.001-08:00

As you may have noticed by now, I am using a gadget to blog that means I can blog items of interest as I surf - the current trend I am following is the trend of cleaning up adverts, nobody wants to be lumbered with a mobile subscription they can't switch off except by changing phone number for example - but this is what is happening - so I am following it.

here is some coffee stuff - there are loads of coffee pictures on flickr well over a Million - so we can share :-)

Some random coffee pics:

zwinkies and winkies

2009-11-10T12:47:00.001-08:00

This is a new blog just showing random thrashy adverts I find on networks - the type Techcrunch /Michael Arrington are trying to remove from games like Mafia Wars and farm ville on facebook.

Talking of which - here's a screen grab from a facebook app I joined this evening - complete with a naked man playing with his genitals and a zwinky advert (aimed at kids ? )

Zynga CEO Mark Pincus: “I Did Every Horrible Thing In The Book Just To Get Revenues”

2009-11-06T15:11:00.001-08:00

Zara's Note: - here is a story from techcrunch about the latest scam going on within Facebook - note that facebook are usually pretty quick to hit these scams on the head but if they are get 6 Million Dollars off them on a regular basis for advertising - they might not suspend the games - dispite doing this with Slide.com's top friends and a number of the dodgy dating websites back in 2007. Also note I am a facebook fan, and I like the games Zynga make - it will be a real shame if they don't really kick butt and clean up their act - I am boycotting their games by blocking their facebook apps, this might seem hypocritical seeing as I use Yuwie as a place to meet people and blog - BUT at least at Yuwie you know for sure they are in it for greed, whereas Zynga are making out to be some kind of social marketing break through - when they are not

Zynga CEO Mark Pincus said earlier this week that he intends to make sure his company’s games don’t include scammy offers in the future. Our full background on this story is here.

But what he didn’t say in that blog post is that Zynga has been scamming users from the beginning quite intentionally as part of their revenue model. Rather, he pointed much of the blame at middlemen offer companies: “We need to be more aggressive and have revised our service level agreements with these providers requiring them to filter and police offers prior to posting on their networks.”

Last spring, though, he gave a much clearer explanation to an audience at a Startup@Berkeley mixer, admitting that scamming users was part of Zynga’s business model from the start. And it was all caught on video. I think everyone sort of knew that this was exactly Zynga’s gameplan. But to hear it said so directly is just shocking.

The full 30ish minute video is here. We’ve taken the relevant section of the video, roughly starting at around the 10:40 mark, and embed it below. From the video:

I knew that i wanted to control my destiny, so I knew I needed revenues, right, fucking, now. Like I needed revenues now. So I funded the company myself but I did every horrible thing in the book to, just to get revenues right away. I mean we gave our users poker chips if they downloaded this zwinky toolbar which was like, I dont know, I downloaded it once and couldn’t get rid of it. *laughs* We did anything possible just to just get revenues so that we could grow and be a real business…So control your destiny. So that was a big lesson, controlling your business. So by the time we raised money we were profitable.

5 Ways To Boost Coffee Shop Sales: Part 1 – Social Media

2009-11-06T07:48:00.001-08:00

In this article I am going to break down 5 Ways you can Boost Coffee Shop sales with actual examples on how to go about implementing them. I have broken this article up into 5 parts and included a quick index at the top of every post for easy navigation. All of the examples I give in this article are great ideas but they are really meant to be spring boards to get your own creative juices flowing.

Way #1: Social Media – Twitter and Facebook

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

By now I think most everyone is on board with the idea that social media is an important element in their overall business strategy. But I don’t think most people really grasp that this is not just a peripheral element. It can and ultimately will be one of the biggest factors that the everyday consumer will use in deciding where they are going to spend their hard earned money. If you don’t believe me then just do a twitter search on one of your favorite brands or t.v shows. You will see a stream of real time information about that particular brand and what people are thinking or feeling about it in that moment. I think so many people are making the mistake of writing this off as a “Twitter Thing” when in actuality it will ultimately change the way people search and surf the web forever.

Now I don’t want to limit you’re exposure or thinking to just Twitter and Facebook but right now they are easily the two biggest players in real time Social Media. So if you don’t have an account at both of these sites please STOP reading this article and get one immediately. Now that you have an account on these sites how do you use them? Well this is going to depend on your overall strategy and later I am going to go into more detail of what that might look like for you. The important thing to remember is to stay active, communicate, be available, be genuine, provide valuable information, remain approachable and do not abuse these streams to over sell or as a glorified RSS feed. Below I will walk you through three examples of how to use these tools by interacting with customers at the store level. (Note: There is also a huge use for these streams at the corporate level.)

3 Ideas for Your Store

Idea #1: Facebook Fan Page Giveaway

Let your customers know you have a Facebook Fan Page. Once you have over 100 fans turn your url into a vanity url. (http://www.facebook.com/MyCoffeeShop – If you do not have a fan page Spencer at Tutorial Blog has a simple How To on getting it set up.) Once you have the vanity url it makes it a lot easier to market that page to your customers. Now that you have the fan page let’s get started with the giveaway. On your fan page update your status by saying something like, “Come in to the store for the next 60 minutes and say you saw this message and receive ANY small beverage for FREE!” Even if you don’t have all or any of your fans come in for the giveaway many of them will most assuredly tell their friends or family about it. By the end of the day you will have many more Facebook Fans and loyal customers watching your every move, waiting for the next big surprise!

Idea #2: Twitter Contest

This one is super simple. Tweet out a message that saying something like, “Who is enjoying their YourCompanyHere beverage this morning? Send me a pic and you could win a $20 gift card.” Then when some time has past and you have some pics announce the winner. This will draw people to you on Twitter and ultimate increase your companies visibility on this very important medium.

Idea #3: Coupons on Your Blog

Do a blog post the day before a big sale with a coupon in it. Tell everyone they can get an additional 20% off. Include a field where they can input their email address to receive their coupon. This not only gets you more sales but also increases your base of contacts.

Nice list - albeit, some are no longer 'free' for business promotion/advertising/offers, i.e. Gumtree now say:
"Posting an ad for 30 days in any of these categories will cost £4.95 (excl. VAT). "

A traditional business advert might cost, but there are still ways you could market for free in the gumtree classifieds ads without paying with creative use of words and ideas about what you want to achieve - that doesn't involve deception or unethical behaviour

blog 3# subjects Twitter lists and Virtual gifts on Ning

2009-10-30T03:24:00.001-07:00

Twitter Lists

So, busy yesterday looking at twitter lists. Looks like you can have 20 lists which are like sub accounts - I am using these lists to put twitter contacts into groups - this will take some time, but not that long as I have around 5000 on @lemonknickers and a couple thousand on several other accounts. The list names are changable, I might even merge my accounts as the reason I opened up multiple accounts was to track different subjects - not to spam!

Most of my current lists are private, but I have the directory - of products and services open, and cool people - which are people that have my kudos!

open lists - that are still being sorted - on an ongoing basis:

http://twitter.com/lemonknickers/directory (Products and services)

http://twitter.com/lemonknickers/cool-people (People I give kudos to)

http://twitter.com/lemonknickers/top-cats (People that are known to be head of the pack)

http://twitter.com/lemonknickers/ning-nomads (Ning friends)

http://twitter.com/lemonknickers/local (Weston-super-Mare)

My use of the lists is mainly to organize people by location, UK, USA and by subjects like Coffee - all twitter need to do now is add a status box at the top of these lists so users can message people just in that list (like the message all members of this group function on Ning) maybe that is something they could charge people for ?

The private lists are for my use, I might open them eventually.

Other subject Ning Gifts - idea is good - I still think they need to add a few more free ones, like profile comments or HI5's - so that people can give them out as welcome presents, as I think it takes a while to build up motivation to pay for virtual gifts, it need to be ingrained into the network - like the game of monopoly - who want's the racing car and who wants the old boot ? - answer different people like the different ones like flavours of crisps - i.e you all rush to get the car (or the salt and vinegar crisps in my family) a mystery gift might be good in that it could be opened and a person won't know if they are going to get a generic gift like a heart or a lucky clover - or like the lotto they might get some bling/sport car/luxury gift. The virtual gifts could have collectable themes too, like an eco friendly collection or a love heart collection - reasons to make the person want the whole set - like people that collect thimbles - they get the case free then buy new thimble every month. These kind of ideas could make virtual gifts work - if someone created a coffee collection for example - I'd collect them myself and give out coffee gifts to new members or if they liked rainbows or cats - I might leave them a gift relating to their hobby/niche - a fisherman might collect fishy's - not rocket science is it ?

be interesting to see if they do develop the gifts, as they are it is very basic, not enough to motivate me to spend real cash on them just yet - alot the point prices need to vary - it is dumb to give people 100 points free to start when gifts are 75 each - better to add some at lower points like 25 - so atleast a person can try the gift function twice before having to pay out.

If they aren't going to add freebies other than cancer, aids and army for free (good causes, but not universal in appeal when trying to sell the app to potential new users) they should let a person be able to sent at least 7 gifts free - I use 7, as 7 times is 7x exposure use of the gifting feature - and they say it takes atleast 7 times to 'sell' an item to some people before they buy - these gifts aren't shiny enough for compulsive buyers yet in my opinion - if the price varied - with some lower and some 'expensive' like $5.00 each you might get a complusive buyer or buyers buy them as mini status symbols - as in "I like you and respect you so much I am wiling to buy you this diamond encrusted virtual rose, because money means nothing in comparsion to your beauty!!!" see what I'm saying ? - A person that has alot of shiny gifts have alot of people that care enough to spend on something so trivial. - this would work with charities - if you are socially minded - as 'save the rain forest' could recieve donations via gifts to each other on a network - maybe Ning could offer that function to network owners - to have 25% of the 50% rev share donated to a charity - that way, everyone would have themed gifts that benefit 1. Ning, 2. Charity/social cause 3. Network manager 4. givers 5. recievers who are sharing - how can that kind of win/win deal not work for mutual benefit eh ?

Hi All blog 2#

2009-10-28T07:31:00.001-07:00

Hello This is my new universal blog, posted from posterous it in theory can act like a bigger update than a tweet and also get to some of the blogs I don't get to sometimes - speaking on which I have a godaddy blog that I need to add once I figure out how to add it.

I'm going to try and write something most days (she says) mainly about my current favorite subjects - i.e Coffee, web tools, social networking, on-line life and my dog.

I usually get fed up and forget to blog - but like a diet - I will try to post 5 out of every 7 days - 7 days when ever possible. I will probabley add reminders to myself on here too.

Sooo, what are you up to Zara ?

Well... at the moment I am setting up a place to add profiles - over on www.totallyu.co.uk that site is made using a script I brought via a web script reseller buddy of mine (I have the resell rights myself - once I've got the hang of it I might offer custom installs), I am customizing it at the moment - sign up is quick, what a person can do there is add a profile, add video's from youtube, add photos, I might turn it into a social network for my coffee affiliates actually, people that join either the healthycoffee downline builder , or are coffee fan's from I Love Gano but anyone can add a profile or start a journal/blog there - coffee drinkers / coffee fan's only please!

I have a both free and paid web hosting I use - my coffee venues are like little kiosks - I'll plonk one on most social networks where it is allowed - imagine a franchise like a chinese takeaway or a news agents or a mini version of a starbucks / costa coffee - then imagine - they are all coffee themed places, where you can chat with people about coffee, social media, web tools, blogging, with coffee games and links to coffee websites and coffee experts (I am in the process of looking for coffee experts - I have already found a few good ones in UK and USA) and it's on-line. That's kind of what Zara's Coffee Venues is about - I'm your Barista / cafe owner type person - if you buy a coffee product either directly off me or via an affiliate link, I will earn a commission and that will go towards a wage to make me finacially independent. Once I can earn a profit that can keep me from being homeless - then I can think about hiring others that wish to help out - a bit like Cafe World on Facebook !!!

!FB general update from Zara

2009-09-05T07:39:00.001-07:00

Hi - just an update - what Zara is up to:

Firstly !FB is a code that should mean that none of my updates with links in go to my facebook profile page - this is because a change in the facebook rules that mean's business posts / status updates aren't allowed to have sponsored links in - and if you are anything like me, it's almost second nature to add a link or reference to the latest product or gadget I am promoting in relation to my business interests - but commerical posts outside of the business pages can get you a facebook ban however if you use Plurk to update your facebook status you can add !FB and that post won't go to your facebook profile - this is handy if you use hellotxt or ping.fm to say good morning to alot of people on different networks - as it means you can do a generic hello then - another one to your coffee buddies for example - which is what I do - that way I can still use one interface - i.e hellotxt first thing in the morning - then check up on individual networks when i feel like it.

Okay other stuff - I've quit the paid version of Zlio for the time being, I might have to retire Ning Nomads too in the future as like other networkers - it just doesn't 'pay to pay' and while I carry lose leaders for a while - the cash could be used to pay eBay fees instead - and eBay is virtually guarenteed quick sales - I am a bit more hesitant to give up Ning Nomads as I kind of like it there but it's running at a loss and I don't have the funds that twitter and facebook do to keep loss making activities afloat for long like they do!

So I'm clearing up ready for winter, my venues and other free blogs however can stay up as long as blogger is free - thus they are growing naturally using mybloglog and I am using the power of "cloud" hosting to set up venues - I am planing on making them more interchangeable - I am growing networking friendships of the networks - which is great - I have eBid (a free version of eBay) for UK sales, I have web hosting for storage - in short all the tools are there - it's just tweaking and optimising that takes the time - the groups will start to have people soon.

I am testing out Google websites, a way to have hosting for free with a theme - I have another wordpress blog for the coffee venues - the google website may act as a "cloud" point of reference so if you are an Affiliate on http://ilovegano.blogspot.com I might direct you over there for examples.

Anyway got to go now, I will speak again soon.

3 cash Machine is back

2009-07-21T09:28:00.001-07:00

Yeay! I'm glad they got it sorted out with google, I like this little marketing machine. I'm sending this out as a blogwide update as it means I will probabley be adding 3CM back to the healthy coffee downline builder - I will add it as an exta program this time and keep global domains there too as a separate opportunity:

the e-mail from Dan - incase you missed it:

I write to you with great news... The 3 Cash Machine has been re-launched!
 
Google has finally lifted the 'Attack Site' warning and we've got the site 
back up and running. And it's going to be better then ever! 
 
During the time that the 3CM was down, we've gone through the site with 
a fine tooth comb and fixed a number of scripting issues. In particular, 
an issue that prevented a small number of people from signing up. So the 
sign up numbers should shoot through the roof this summer!!
 
As we have not been monitoring the support desk during the down time... our 
mailbox has filled up with over 15,000 emails. A lot of this is spam. So 
we're decided to delete all of these emails and start from scratch. Soooo... 
If you sent a support related email to us over the past 2 weeks, please go 
to your 'Sent Messages', find the email and resend it. 
 
I've been totally blown away by the response of the 3CM members over this 
past two weeks. I'm so very proud of you all!! Your letters of luck and 
encouragement have been a true inspiration. Thank you to all of you that 
wrote strong worded letters to Google. It just goes to show what strength 
in numbers can achieve. 
 
Finally - It was the 3CM's 1st birthday on Sunday (2 days ago)! We didn't 
think there was very much to celebrate on Sunday... But now we feel like a 
PARTY!! So to thank you for all your hard work over the past year, I'm 
going to send you a couple of presents tomorrow... so keep your eye out for 
that! 
 
Thank you for your patience and humility. 
I wish you a profitable new 3CM year! :) 
Kind Regards,
 
Dan Weaver

Just a quick broadcast to remind folks into coffee try out my coffeedownline builder thingy if you haven't already, it's a free tool that gives you two ways to activate your network - getting new recruits - and promote your products - firstly you can recruit via the front page referral URL you are given, or you can introduce people to all the sites on one splash page - the second URL.

This builder is a part of a suite of tools I am working on to bring people interested in coffee together - maybe I should start a coffee dating site like "plenty of coffee" ? innit :P

Anyway - here's the bit.ly URL - I know my video is bad but you have to just do stuff sometimes right ? (unless you like people doing nothing o'course) http://bit.ly/14ebTo

The Million Dollar Challenge - top business experts from around the world

2009-03-17T07:22:00.001-07:00

*** TOP FEATURED ***

The Million Dollar Challenge - top business experts from around the world

Zara Lockwood has sourced a million dollar business development campaign from global experts to help your business grow rapidly... If you've been active on social networks lately, you have probably heard the buzz about the Million Dollar Challenge. It is a ground breaking business TV collaboration which offers unique results based opportunity for your business to access powerful marketing campaigns valued at well over US$1 million. This gives you access to the kind of thinking, expertise and campaigns that most businesses would only dream of.

Zara has forged a strategic alliance with yourBusinessChannel, so now her readers can apply to take part in the Million Dollar Challenge. It only takes only a few minutes to apply. You should certainly take a look. The ideas behind these campaigns draw on the latest thinking of top rank business experts from around the world.

For example, in the area of business networking contributing experts include Ecademy founder Penny Power, BNI founder, Ivan Misner and the most connected man in the world Ron Bates. Sales campaigns draw on the thinking of experts like David Meerman Scott (a man personally responsible for over US$1 billion in sales), entrepreneurial successes like Bob Young (whose business broke all first day records on the NYSE when it listed), PR gurus like Peter Shankman, as well as experts in blogging, online sales, content distribution and much more.

Million Dollar Challenge campaigns are leading edge: they will shock your competitors, excite your prospects, and transform your business, all at a price you can afford. The first group of businesses already on the Challenge are reporting excellent results even early on. Best of all, in challenging times, the Million Dollar Challenge is very low risk, because it is largely results based. You only pay full price if you experience great results. (Of course, we’re absolutely confident that you will). And there are some very strong guarantees in place as well.

If selected to take part in the Challenge, your business will be one of a handful to get access to campaign blueprints drawn from the advice of global marketing experts, and then tailored specifically for your business. Blueprints like:

Digital Marketing Blitz: campaign on key social networks like LinkedIn, YouTube, and FaceBook with a purpose built sales team

Attraction Blueprint: connect directly with customers on social networks and search engines like Google.

Sales Monster: generate powerful sales presentations fast whenever your sales team needs them, and receive weekly updates on the latest sales techniques. Perfect

Sales Site: benchmark your website against the Internet’s ‘perfect sites’.

The key focus of the Million Dollar Challenge is rapid sales growth – because research shows that this is the number one business issue. Anyone with a business - from entrepreneur to executive - can apply. And the Million Dollar Challenge is open to business associations, charities and not-for-profits as well.

Even if you’ve not felt the impact of the global slowdown, the pressure is on. Decisions you make now are vital. Clever businesses like yours need to get the best results so that you make the most of every opportunity and grow rapidly. Imagine if you could get access to over US$1m in results-based campaigns which have been proven to work, in many industries all around the world. What numbers could you achieve with the latest thinking, know-how and advice from some of the world’s most successful business experts? Today you can find out.

There is more information on Million Dollar Challenge in this short video presentation. The application process takes a few minutes. Twenty-five places have been made available. Is there any reason you shouldn't consider this for your business?

I was talkng about Ninja's with my sister just a minute ago - and remebred this "fit by 40" url to see if it has gone - I've opted or the .info again as it's only 82p for a year - the .co.uk of the domain is still availble - so any fitness coaches out there you have a ready and waiting affiliate to blog about your website (for a commission - clickbank herbal / healthy lifestyle product maybe ?)

Let me know.

For the time being I might use this blog to promote health drinks or something - oh yeah - forgot the title then - dam - fit by 40 - can it be done - i'm like SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo unhealthy maybe i should get out the trampoline again.

Just need some hardcore/techno music or something fast to jump up and down too.

Now if I could just find a Ninja suit i could be the "flying ninja nomad that wants to be fit by 40!" - woow!

Facebook | Top Friends have over 17 Million monthly users

2009-02-19T01:57:00.001-08:00

Check out this website I found at apps.facebook.com

You get a free profile (friendly URL) - here's mine as example: http://zaralockwood.topfriends.com/

In comments you can ad video's / embed code and a link to a website.

I think it's an untapped area of facebook - that people kind of forgot about using more actively after facebook dropped them for a couple weeks about a year or so ago - many people rejoined but they were in full swing before to be cut off - never quite got the interaction back they had before.

Maybe a niche group of people could make use of top friends as it's rather like a club with max of 32 members but anyone with top friends can visit your profile or photos/leave comments or buy your profile - which has the friends for sale aspect to it. superpokes/buy a drink are probably one of the few mass poking tools left on facebook - where you can send virtual "hello" to everyone on your list of contacts - so it's like twitter - a mass broadcast with chicken pictures instead!

what the recession looks like to me

2009-02-16T09:05:00.000-08:00

I watched that dragon's den enquiry with the bankers, with the lords of the realm and the guy from Asda, reminded me of the grilling the Heathrow airport (terminal 5)people got.

Anyway I likenit all to the banks being like the springs that hold the strain of weight (of the economy) from the impact of the consumer (the person jumping up and down on the trampoline)

The banks were all sharing the load - balancing out the pressure - maybe eventually they forgot the laws of gravity and started jumping up and down with the consumer - doing "spring juggling" where each swaps (hedge funds and debts could be juggled between banks) "hot potato" was thrown into the mix - subprime mortgages - that leads to miss judgement and human error creeping in.

Then the "Caldera effect" of trampolining kicked in - a spring weakend (a Bank went bust - in UK that spring was Northern Rock - in USA I guess it was Fanny Mae and that other one ?)

Springs are pinging - the jumper is still jumping unaware the springs are failing - until PING all the springs buckle at once - and customer and economy are flung into the air - big volcanic spot raging beneath....busted.

Then comes the germoline (the savlon - antiseptics - the taxpayer heal thy self) - if the conservatives got in MORE people would end up repossessed as they would tell the banks to be more vicious on homeowners - dog eat dog

- so while people are complaining that "liberals" are injecting future earnings into the consumer wounds - it's a choice of that - or be strangled in your bed by a true blue capitalist

- a real capitalist would eat you - literally to save their life from starvation - as nature is a capitalist - it's not an unnatural condition - it's just very harsh and uncaring like the negative forces of mother nature destroy's in order for regrowth of the fittest.

New Labour is a kind of hybrid - northern rock - are an example of the hybrid in action - repossessions up - yet nationalized.

I imagine the banks are confused by all this going on as they obviously wanted their cash back with Interest - as presumably that how they make their money - but the bank charges were excessive and a way to instantly pay a debt via CASH to avoid these charges never happened - which is where the subprime thingy went wrong as - if a percentage of the subprime people were getting paid on the black market by richer people trying to avoid paying tax - by stealth or by strong suggestion to self employed on low wages that they don't need to both with tax, then is all gets in a mess - no different to all this hedgefund stuff (the dodgey version of that they were talking about) - institutionalized avoidance of paying for anything over the counter whenever possible.

All this destabilizes Billy average the taxpayer (as I've said elsewhere) and he turns into a thug and forces weaklings/ vunerable types (that may or may not have rational or intellectual thinking occasionally like me) to suffer to make them eel better.

And full circle we are back to nature and killing - with civilization and society grabbing nooks and cranny's from the big flood... slosh - swimming or drowning depends on the temperature and if you have people supporting one minute then strangling you the next - trampoline or torture rack - perception depends on mood, mood is supplied by chemicals in brain supplied by environment....

Here's my chart anyway, is quite basic after that brain melting - sugar low commuing on so I'll end it there.

Lemonpie Update #1

2009-02-10T12:16:00.001-08:00

Hi Internet people

- This is a 'quick hello' and a test post for another service I've come accross just recently which sounds like what I've been looking for to broadcast general messages accross my network of blogs.

It's Posterous and looks to be like hellotxt but designed for longer blogs than micro blogs, looks like it uses a wordpress interface - I'm using the on-line version as I'm still not comfy using e-mail to send anything. I do contact my Ning contacts and membership every two weeks or so with an invite to a club or to drum up some new members and I might kick start my IMC autoresponder again... might.

I've noticed some people I recognise from twitter here, that have been here a while and I'm wondering why I haven't found this place before as it's the very thing I've been looking out for, but not seen, i must admit i haven't searched as such, but I've mentiond my need of a time saver on webmastertoolkit - just suprised nobody came back with this service, but I can think of a few reasons, in terms of 'noise' from solely commerical posts (you know the S word)

Anyway my use for this service is like this - i will use it in a similar way to hello text but to update my blogger blogs, as since twitter I haven't been posting so much there - but these posts should get there rather like a newsletter - and it is another way for me to remind you to follow me on twitter @lemonknickers and/or come join my Ning Nomads Club - I have freebies for beginners, reviews of software and webtools I use / have used - I'm sticking eBooks on there and if you are a long time Internet user, we might already know each other from a past forum, as I've been on-line for 7 years (or a year either way) I stopped counting after 5 years when a webby person officially becomes a Veteran - so come in and say hello - if you are friendly!

Okay end of my first blog wide update, so lets see where this goes (fingers crossed)

And bye for now.

Now look at that...

2009-02-02T13:06:00.001-08:00

I know your ads aren't working. (I have xray eyes too)

How do I know this?

Because I'm betting that you're probably getting a pathetically
low click-through rate and an almost non-existent conversion
rate out of those ads.

Let me explain.

The truth is, banner ads and link exchanges just don't work
like they did... People just ignore them most of the time.

Google and other major companies that get the bulk of their
profits from advertising have tried to counteract this
'banner blindness' by making ads different sizes
- which worked ... for awhile.

You can be the best graphic designer or copywriter in the
world - and it doesn't make one bit of difference. Your ads
still have a horrible conversion rate.

Want to know which kind of ads people don't ignore?
==> Header Ads.

The header is the area at the very top of a web page. It
usually includes the product name, maybe a photo of the
creator and a graphic of a software box or book cover.

It's also the very first thing people notice on a website,
and the very first graphic to load.

Now what if you could take this same header area from
someone else's site and put YOUR ads on it?

Can you see just how much more targeted that would be?
The site visitors can't help but notice it - which means
you get more click-thrus and more eager buyers coming
to YOUR site!

See what I mean at www.HeaderAds.com

It's like getting someone else to do all the marketing
for you. All you do is sit back and watch as the customers
pour in!

And best of all - if you go to www.HeaderAds.com
- you'll find out exactly how much this advertising costs:

Nothing!

But I should warn you. As soon as the big marketing
pros hear about this - their servers are going to fill up
fast. And once the space fills up, they might have to
start charging.

Get in now before it's too late - www.HeaderAds.com

How to save £31.00 a month - check your bank statement

2008-12-09T11:38:00.000-08:00

Okay I'm going to own up to something Dumb for the last year and a half (at least) I have been paying £8.00 a month towards a service I've never used - and here's how it happened....

I ordered a CD off Amazon or via a facebook advert (or another big retailer, but i'm sure it was them) and I was automatically enrolled into a shoppers discount program without fulling realizing it (i.e that they were GIVEN/PASSED ON my debit card details by the merchant I was buying from - during the after sales process or check out process.

- all I remember is that during the purchasing process there was a little box already ticked blending in which the merchant site saying something like - "this will enroll you into our shopping and savings discount program" - and i just thought it was a freebie coupon / voucher thing where they send you more details and try to flog me something later - what they didn't tell me is they were taking £8.00 a month for this "service"

- they have effectively been "skimming" my account for the last year or two.

The reason I didn't spot it - is well I did kind of spot it but because I make little purchases on-line and have direct debits each month - I actually usually thought to myself this Fee was something to do with my LOVEFILM subscription, kind of grumbled (as i thought LOVEFILM had probably tricked me into a higher subscription package when i signed up with them at a similar time) then forgot about it.

The annoying thing is I pointed out this as a possible mis sell to an ecademy member a few months after i first spotted these showing up on my bill - yet still forgot to cancel my own mis sold subscription to the same service! (update just looked at that post - it was the ecademist that pointed it out to me, I thought he was talking about the dropshipping part!)

Now what this shows me - is that this kind of thing might be rife on the Internet - especially as more and more micro payments (small amounts of money)get spent on membership services.

It proves to me that a consumer can easily sign up / be tricked at check out in to a hidden subscription fee - then they might dismiss it every month or think it is part of another purchase - I've got a feeling I've been sent to this cancel page before too - so maybe I've unsubscribed before and the cancellation has "gone missing" - and I've just thought - cancelled sorted, moved on - when it's still there taking my cash.

As a consumer that never REALLY agreed to this pillaging of my account monthly of 8 quid and all this recession talk - I just thought I'd warn you to check your statements each month that has a minus figure and looks like "shoppers discounts" or "shoppers rewards" hidden amongst their out goings as you may well be signed up - to a discount program that is charging you a monthly FEE - for nothing - as in sweet FA. (okay maybe some kind of postal insurance cover, which as an ebayer i know what is covered, and discounts through their links I'm not a big spender on-line so very unlikely to use any of their discounted links)

The trick may have changed now- but look for "opt out" boxes before you complete purchases at check out they don't tell you the tick is a contract - as this 3rd party company (this shopper discount rewards one) will automatically take money out from your bank each month with any purchase UNLESS you untick the box - and something you could easily over look or misinterpret as a freebie during the checkout process - so BE WARNED

Note I'm not going to add the actual web address of the site as that can lead to people accidentally joining scam sites, this has been proven by psychologists that study shopping habits - people can be fooled by the brain into remembering a warning as a recommendation - if a link is there, a person may book mark it,then forget it is a baddie and sign up.

SO JUST CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENTS, AND LET ME KNOW I YOU HAVE BEEN SCREWED THIS WAY.

£8.00 is an average weeks worth of electricity in a small flat like mine - and as I've been on-line ages - I already know where to get all the best discounts from - I don't need this kind of club to tell me - their optin form probably makes them ALOT of MONEY so they aren't doing it for love - which is why I have no probs admitting to this boob - I'm useless with cash - always have been - doesn't mean they deserve a pat on the back

- It's also creeper than spyware - like a parasite jumping into an open wound (your wallet)at the check out and hiding in there growing fat - the amount of unauthorized (with a £25.00 charge and interest) overdrafts I've got in the last year can probably be directly related to them on occasions - as an unexpected out going - which puts the price up to £31.00 a month - being sucked off by a "discount" program.

I have cancelled - I've done this post to hopefully remind me to check my statements and make sure they stop taking any more cash off me.

Dodgey DJ's depressing dole seekers this Xmas ?

2008-12-06T23:02:00.000-08:00

They may as well be handing out razor blades and paracetamol to claimants...

OMG have you heard ? - talksport is being renamed "Corpse Sport" as it's the time of year (just before christmas when suicide rates go up in the country) where the DJ like to have a really BIG dig at anyone on benefits for the the TAX Payers Charity "Get Your Fat F**king Lazy Ass Back To Work, You, Work Shy Benefit SCUM" or GYFFLABTWYWSBS (for short),

Yes santa's not quite here yet, so the friendly DJ's can make the perfect taxpayer feel reassured that just like the government adverts cracking down on cheats - they too can broadcast to the nation, just want they think of GYFFLABTWYWSBSer's too.

So in the spirit of Christmas we will look at some of their dirty victims ...err claimants... in the Corpse Sport Towers benefits agency -

DRUG ADDICTS - self inflicted injuries - send the f**kers down a mine, make 'em dig the friggin dirt for 10 hours and tuppence a day - it'll give them self respect. (this going back to the womb in darkness may also heal the mental wounds cause by psychotic parents - that always managed to hold down a job)

SINGLE PARENT MOTHERS: dirty sl*ts "should learn to keep their legs closed, can't blame it all on the bloke" (they are only dirty s**ts if they weren't beaten up or abused - we is nice here...)

DEPRESSED PEOPLE: don't exist mate, f**king losers- they need to wake up and get a f**king life - sitting around in your pajamas all day you dirty, lazy, scabs -there are people dying in other countries you know and taxpayer has to fund your grubby self centered lifestyle.

- Here'a a free noose, do us all a favor! - like now rather than later- there is a rescession on... (other options include taking a drugs overdose, lying down on a motorway or standing in front of a train - go on you know you want to - it'll a be a relive for your working extended family who think you are scum too... the taxpayers don't REALLY want to pay for your medication, and hobnail boots for the next 40 years or so.

BLAH happy xmas to you to.

disclaimer: - naturally talksport always remind people hourly and at the end of a 4 hour rant that they are talking about - cheats only - not people without legs (unless they are junkie scum and it don't count, and not women that have separated from their men because they are violent - unless you are having a relationship with yet another man or buy clothes or make up - then you are a dirty tart.) thankyou.

things - Zoocoda - teething trouble with the templates I never expected - I know now, so future digests with all be sent in the sand dollar blogger template as they come out stable on hotmail.

I'm mulling over what membership area site software to use for incomeclubpro.com

been doing some report reading of various marketer's - sharing their money making method's and systems for creating cash - rather like a recipe all of them use the same ingredients just combined in different ways - every report I read lately gives me a new piece of information I didn't know how to do - Tom Mansell for example provided me with a useful little script that cloaks urls using php - which I probably could have found on a webmaster forum somewhere but when put in context (of the freebie report)it gave a practical example of where using it might be useful.

Now I'm not into cloaking generally but for the purpose of using in a system - like a membership club it makes sense - so I will be trying out that script later!

anyway enough for now I need to tackle my e-mal box which has been going slightly mad over the last couple weeks as I'm keeping tabs on too many things!

Before Blogging, Part 1

Do you want to join in on the blogging phenomenon? Before you get started, you should know a few things about blogging. A blog is an online journal. Thousands of bloggers post online each day. It's a trend that began in 1997 and still grows steadily.

You Can Be Personal. Many times new bloggers are not sure what to post. They know that their blog is a personal space, but they are afraid to make their posts personal in any way. The best bloggers put themselves out there via their posts. They will post what is on their mind and their opinions on pressing issues. They may do so in a humorous manner or be quite serious.

Bloggers can be afraid to post their true thoughts because their blog allows comments. Some people will disagree with your thoughts and posts, but you should not let that hold you back. These people don't personally know you, so their comments really don't matter much. Don't be afraid to show your true feelings on your blog. That is what an online journal is all about.

Don't Be Too Personal. It is fine to be somewhat personal in your posts, but be cautious about how much you disclose about yourself. For example, including your phone number or address in a post or on your profile is probably not a good idea. Only allow people to know things that you want them to know. For your own safety, you might not want to post your last name either. When someone has a lot of information about you, they can victimize you through identity theft, or harassment. Stay safe and don't post private information.

Never Use Real Names. When you are posting, and keeping it personal and real, there can be times in which other people in your life come up in topic. Be very careful including other people in your posts. First, never use their real names unless you get permission from that person. It will only lead to trouble. If the person you mention reads your blog, they could get offended that you are writing about them. Even if the post is positive, it's as if you are talking behind their back. Try to keep the posts about you or celebrities or other public figures. Keep everyone else's business private.

other random stuff - oh yeah this is now a customer service blog too

2008-10-18T18:10:00.000-07:00

okay i might turn this blog into my admin,updates and customer service site actually for all my other blogs then anybody that comes here will know what i am up to as well as be able to ask for help with something they are stuck on or wondering about.

Folks will also be able to get ideas of what I'm planning, rolling out & beta ideas - yeay! I has found a reason for this blog to exist! (other than just my rambling and still grabs from google - actually don't know if I can be bothered to do to many more of those as it might be classed as being dumb or showing off - and o'course I am super clever and never show off so it might be out of keeping :P

okay - http://incomeclubpro.com - I'm looking at software to set up a private membership site for that site so I can set up a subscription site in order to makes use of all the ebooks I'm given resell rights to and can't just give away - I may have different membership levels eventually - but basically my zookoda clubs (via e-mail) are the freebie gateways to the paid site - I'll add free stuff, low cost stuff on the wordpres blog with options for potential customers to pay a monthly subscript via paypal to join the first level/upgrade paid membership site for the higher quality stuff, I might create a number of clubs depending on niche folks are interested in.

I've joined the Rich Jerk forum (as I'm into retro/kitch marketing niche) and Robert Puddy's forum - as there are some clever bods in there, that might understand some of the stuff I ramble about - they also talk about traffic exchanges (as well as run them) and there are more questions I need answers to in that area and making the best use of safelists etc. rather than just being drowned in swamps of e-mail - setting up my e-mail filters is something I need to work on too.

I haven't used the internet to listen to radio but then while setting up a group about getting James whale , Mike Mendoza and other's that were last heard (my me) at talk sport - I found the link to LBC again and he happened to be on. I hope they all get on board the twitter thing as it's a bit of a pain having to dart about from site to site to find out where all these different radio gods (and goddesses)are - I'd follow their tweets to their shows - it's now to gain a global audience, the hords of us that gave up on TV for youtube and were listening to talk radio when there wasn't an internet as we know it to use, eavesdrop and chat with people via wires other than radio or tv.
