Promotions with a Genius Touch

In real life, I never had any jobs that involved advertising or promoting a product or service. Telemarketing was about as close as I came to advertising; while working in the work force. Since 2005, I have became more involved with home-based businesses and affiliate programs, trying to earn a living that way. Over these past 5 years, I have learned a lot of new and creative ways to market a product or a service online. I can now appreciate TV commercials or other forms of advertising, when I see a talented marketer at work.

There are some great ideas for  tradeshow giveaways.

  • The first thing that comes to mind, when I think about girls and Christmas, would have to be Barbie. Most parents can’t go wrong with her and Barbie is a classic girls gift. Not only does this popular doll come in a number of varieties, but you have all the different Barbie accessories. After you get the doll, parents can shop for a Barbie Car, the Barbie 3 Story Dream House, and an endless supply of Barbie Fashions to dress her up in. I found one Barbie item selling online this year, that I think most girls would love to have. I can see the Barbie Ultimate Nail Dryer Set for Bath and Beauty being a hot Barbie item this holiday season. Amazon is the best place online to shop for new Barbie accessories and for the absolute lowest prices too.

    One more thing I like about the Barbie collection of girls items, is the Barbie make up kit for the younger girls. Your youngest daughter might be trying to wear make-up, like her older sister, but her make up is a little too grown up for her. I think the youngest girls in the household, would feel just like the older girls, if they had the chance to play with the 32 Piece Barbie Make-up Set. Parents don’t have to worry about the older daughters and the teen girls in the house either. I have seen some very nice make-up sets selling for the older girls at really low prices online. Two make-up kits caught my eye this year. One was a $40 All-In-One make-up set and another for a little bit cheaper and it was the $30 Eye Shadow Set with 192 colors. Both of these make-up kits would give a lot of options to your teenage daughters and I’m sure Mom might want to borrow this from time to time too.

    Playing the popularity game at Christmas time can be hard on parents. We don’t always know which gifts are in-style and which ones went out. I can help a few parents to get hip this Christmas, by suggesting one of the hot girl gifts for this year. The FurReal Furry Frenzies is a collection of stuff animals that are really gaining in popularity. These cute and lovable stuff animals are designed by the Hasbro Company. While these stuff animals were available last year, the line has grown to include more animals and at different ages. A lot of these FurReal Furry Friends will be the top gift on the list for many girls this holiday season. Below is a quick TV commercial, showing you two examples of the FurReal Furry stuff animals from Hasbro.

    I know a little girls out there want a dog for Christmas. If you just can’t get them the real thing, maybe a toy dog is the answer. Or you can always turn to the Play-Doh Company for great gift ideas for girls. They even offer a Play-Doh Puppies Playset and this is a lot cheaper than a real puppy dog. This puppy set from Play Doh is currently priced at under $10, so a perfect little item you can get, while addressing their desires to have a real dog for Christmas this year.

    Another item that caught my eye this year was the Dairy Queen Blizzard Maker. Gifts on Christmas morning need to have a lot of bold and bright colors. This DQ Blizzard Machine, which makes real ice cream blizzards caught my eye. I just thought how wonderful it would be to see this toy on Christmas morning. This isn’t just for the girls either. I’m sure the little man of the house would like to see this Christmas gift on his side of the Christmas tree too! You can order this product with refill packs. The more refill packs you get, the more you can expect to pay. The first link above will take you to the Blizzard Maker for about 25 bucks. You can go here: DQ Blizzard Maker with 3 Refill Packs and will be looking around $65. So the price range for this colorful Christmas gift is about $25 to $65. Lots of refill packets and dessert mixes you can buy separate and you can find all of these DQ Blizzard Maker Accessories at Amazon.

    Girl Gifts for Under $20

    1. LeapFrog Learn and Groove Music Wand – $14

    2. Fantasma Magic Set with DVD – $9

    3. Disney Fairies Tinkerbell and the Lost Tresure Play Make-Up Kit – $15

    14. Littliest Pet Shop Collector’s Starter Pack – $8

    15. Corolle Calin Baby Doll – $20

    These are just a few of the girl gifts that caught my eye this year. The good news is, you can order each and every one of these products online at Amazon. No long shopping lines, no crowded malls, and no stress in trying to find a good parking place. You still have time to order these items online and have them delivered before Christmas Day arrives.

    I’m sure there is at least one gift idea on this page for every little girl out there. Gift # 15 on my list is the Corolle Calin doll and these are usually pretty expensive to buy. Finding one online for $20 is a great deal. Gift #12 is the rainbow for your little daughter’s room. What girl would not want to have their very own rainbow? This gift does run on double AA batteries, so if you decide to get the Uncle Milton Rainbow, please don’t forget to buy the batteries! Gift #11 the Orb Factory Mosaics has a very high 5 star rating at Amazon. The parents that took the time to review this gift, gave it the highest possible rating, so I’m sure this one would be a winner on Christmas morning. Once you get over to Amazon, you can scroll down to the bottom, to find other helpful gift ideas. If I can do this, I’m sure any parent out there can. Enjoy your holidays and happy shopping!

  • Earning money online for free is fun and can be very rewarding if done right. Don’t feel bad if you haven’t discovered that magical program yet, for making some serious online cash. Today’s online marketers tend to focus on the programs their self for making money and allow them to dictate if they will be active online this week or not. I know all too well the “ups” and “downs” of programs paying and then suddenly not paying. I could easily show you a list of 10 free programs for making money online, but who knows how long these programs will last? Instead, I have got a brand new way for you to approach Internet Marketing and trying to make money online. Instead of focusing on good, honest paying programs. Let’s get a advertising empire or traffic empire in place first. Then you can make fast and easy money with any online program. This includes the bad programs too! Did you ever think you could make money with a bad online program? Well with my new focus angle, it can be done!

    I have no $19.95 systems or programs I am trying to make you buy. All of this is totally free information and I’m not going to beat around the bush, in telling you these marketing secrets. You know how some will keep going on and on and on about how much money you will have? How easy it is? How little time you will need each day or week to do? Anytime a program offers one of those mile long pages online and it just keeps telling you how things will work out for you or all of the benefits you can get. Not to mention how they make fun of other onlilne programs too. They just keep feeding out all of this information, instead of getting right to the point. If you can’t quickly find the information about the nuts and bolts of the program or at least on the first page, then you know something isn’t right. Another warning to look out for. Is the programs that tell you how great their systems are, how easy it is, how its better than all the others, and then want you to leave a email for more information. Just STAY AWAY from all of these! Trust me. I have been down that road and left my email address many times and often they still can’t seem to find the words in their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pages of information, to simply let you know what you need, how to do it, and the costs it takes to do. The programs that really work have nothing to hide. They often can give you the jest of their program in a paragraph or a few simple-to-read steps; which will be numbered 1, 2, and 3. If I go too much further now, I will just be like those guys and I surely wouldn’t want to give the impression I am just another seller of false dreams and hopes online. Here is what you do to make real money online.

    Instead of signing up for programs to make you money. Focus on the programs you use to promote these money-making programs. Often marketers fail online, because they never advertised their product or service enough online. If we change the way we think, and go for the free advertising websites first. We can establish a good supply of credits on the traffic exchanges. Built up a sizable cash total on the paid-to-click sites. Also, we can cross promote advertising programs and join the ones where our referrals earn us credits for their activities. Lots of free traffic exchanges will award you with a small percentage of credits, for each page your referrals surf. If we can build up huge downlines on some of these big traffic exchanges and other advertising platforms, we can begin saving up on our credits, for when we need them later. Making money isn’t the important thing right now. Our online advertising power is important! Instead of finding the perfect money-making program online. Let’s find dozens and dozens of advertising sites and build up our credit totals on each one. Mostly we want to save those credits we surf for. But for long term success and those who can think down the road, you want to use some of those credits now, for advertising other traffic exchanges and advertising sites for a referral base.

    Earning 10% of your referral’s surfing efforts is pretty common. For these traffic places, we just need 10 referrals who will surf as much as us each day and we have a traffic place that earns us free credits, without even being there. As most experienced online marketers will know. Each referral you get to join under you, will not have or carry the same passion as you. In order to get a active referral for a free traffic exchange. It normally takes 10 new referrals, to equal just 1 referral who is somewhat active. We may need to get a 100 member downline or more, just to get the production we could do in one day our self. In some cases it may take less. In other cases it will take more. Either way, we are just building for the future and starting to put a traffic empire or an advertising empire together. We don’t just need a couple of traffic exchanges with 100 member downlines. We want dozens and dozens of those 100′s showing up in our referral counts.

    Be sure before you start building one of these massive downlines for a certain TE, you understand how they reward you, for your referrals activity. Some traffic exchanges don’t allow upline members to receive a portion of their referral earnings. These TE’s we don’t want to promote, but we still want to surf them, and build up our own credits for using later. The overall goal, is to save up these advertising credits on a wide range of different advertising sites online. So when we find a new money making program online. We can join and then begin the process of uploading our money-making referral page, to all of these traffic exchanges, we have saved up so many credits on. If you unleash all of these credits at once, over multiple exchanges, you will get results. You also give a program the look of being a popular program, where it looks like a lot of different people are promoting it. Most traffic exchange surfers will surf more than one TE at a time. If they’re surfing 3 to 5 TE’s online and see your referral page popping up on each one of these. They might think this program is popular and when there is popular programs online. You know the popularity means they’re paying and its worth the effort to advertise it.

    This way of promoting online, allows members who join bad programs, still the opportunity to earn with them. You will make money, before people really find out it is a bad program. It’s not like we are trying to take advantage of people, by putting a bad program in front of them. Obviously we thought it was a good program, before we joined it ourself. Where this technique really becomes its weight in gold. Is when you do sign up early for the good programs and have a chance to build up a huge downline, before anyone else online can. These early downlines for new programs; which turn out to be good, long term programs, is where you can really begin to make the money online.

    Now in order to ever get to this point. You have to first put in the work today. In order for you to get these big Pay Pal payments, Alert Pay payments, and checks in the mail tomorrow. You know the calm before the storm? Well the storm is when a new program comes out and it works well for everyone and everybody is making money. These storms will always be coming out. Don’t worry about that! The calm time is right now. And now while it is calm, is when we should be putting in the work. So our calm before the storm is a productive one.

    Need help with a starting point? Well here is two of the best manual traffic exchanges online and they both give you credits, for your referrals surfing. So if you’re not a member already, please join EasyHits4U for their system of 5 downline levels and you can earn credits from all 5 of these downlines. You also earn cash from the bonus pages and .30 cents for each 1,000 pages you surf at Easy Hits 4u. This is a terrific starting point, for your new way of thinking, and to begin building your advertising empire. Another solid traffic exchange to join is the Traffic Dance. This is the only TE I recommend for upgrading. The cost is only $4 to upgrade, but the upgraded members get to surf for higher cash prizes on the bonus pages. Which the bonus page usually appears every 50 websites and it will be a 9 square page with a disco ball in the middle. Click on any square to claim your bonus. They also offer team surfing here and I recommend joining a good team for even more extra credits. My team is called Samba Ramba at the Traffic Dance and we still have roster room for new, active members to join our surfing team.

    EasyHits4U and Traffic Dance is two good traffic exchanges for starting your advertising empire. As time goes on, you are going to need a lot more traffic exchanges and don’t forget the free PTC websites either. Joining Clixsense and Linkgrand would be two good choices, to get you started on earning some paid to click advertising. All four of these recommendations are proven systems to work and all 4 allow you to earn cash money. You can build up a nice online income, if you just focused on these 4 programs and promoted them non-stop on the World Wide Web. Please let me know if you need a list of more free traffic exchanges to join, for the ones which will payout for your referrals activity. These are the ones we want and this will make the strongest foundation, for our advertising empire, which we are going to go start creating today!

  • Dish Wins Lockout - Sports TV Back!

    The days of Rupert Murdoch and his huge company News Corporation trying to bully the TV industry are quickly coming to an end. The power from Murdoch’s Company trying to force Dish Network customers into paying most of the satellite costs; while letting Directv escape any rate increases won’t work! Why? Because Dish Network refused to give in, to these bullying tactics, in which News Corporation and Fox Network supported; along side their greedy leader Rupert Murdoch.

    Fox Sports has had a rough month. After not getting approved for their attempts to steal money from Dish customers, on the days right before October 1st. They demanded their sports channels to be pulled from the Dish Network line-up of sports programming. The Dish company urged Fox Sports to leave the channels up; while they continued with the negotiations, between the two parties. Nope, the over-confident folks in charge over at Fox said they wanted their channels off the Dish Network now! They are the ones who had absolutely no respect for you and didn’t care if you were going to miss your college football games or any of the MLB games; as baseball played their final regular season games of the year.

    This was NOT Dish Network who pulled the plug and left sports fans without access to their local sports programming. Fox Sports had full confidence, the largest satellite company in the land, would give-in and meet their rate increases. They just knew Dish would not want to face their customers, if they couldn’t offer them their favorite local sports team. The pressure from angry satellite subscribers is what Fox Sports was counting on, so they could get away with their new rate increases, which were more than 50% higher!

    So with no options or room to talk like civilized business people, the only thing Dish Network could legally do, was to honor the requests of the owners of Fox Sports. Which was to terminate their sports channels immediately from the Dish Network family of channels. When Dish customers turned on their TV sets and saw there was no sports to be watched, a lot of initial reactions and blame went toward the Dish Network Company. Which was really unfair to them, since it was the Fox Network and News Corporation folks who had actually pulled the plug.

    I am one of the biggest sports fans you will find. I love all of my local pro and college sports teams. Not having access to these Fox Sports Channels was every bit as rough for me, if not rougher, than any other sports fans out there, who was dealing with this Fox Blackout. I immediately wanted to see what was going on. Who was to blame? What options do I have? How much longer will this Dish Blackout last? I was in a high-speed panic mode and had no idea what my research and investigations was going to find, in this Sports Blackout; which was going on between Dish and Fox Sports.

    One of the first things I was able to find out for sure, was the company responsible for the blackout. It was Fox Sports who demanded to Dish Network, for them to pull their channels off the air. Dish Network was not left with any choices at this point, so by laws governing the air waves in America, the satellite company took away these sports channels.

    After learning how the end came to be, I wanted to know what Dish Network had did wrong, for them to even be put in this situation. I was ready to uncover these Dish mistakes and highlight them online, for everyone to know what led to the Fox Network’s decision to pull these channels off the air, in such a brute and angry manner.

    Well it’s hard to explain each and every detail, but if you wanted to try and put it in a nutshell; I guess you could say Dish Network’s mistake, was not having Rupert Murdoch for a owner or TV partner? I know that may sound a little lame, but you can’t even imagine how the real details of this 21st century high-tech battle for television revenues played out.

    It all started with the recession in this country; which we are not just beginning to work our way out of it. Since these hard times in our nation’s financial troubles, we are not as rich as we use to be. Our country does not hold the wealth it once did just 5 or 10 years ago. At least 1 million college educated employees, who had been working for the same company for at least 1 year, was suddenly out of a job and having trouble finding a new one. As people lost their jobs, they could no longer afford to pay for their monthly mortgage bills. While banks were foreclosing on these home owners in debt, they were left with no loan payments coming in for their spending money. Finally the whole thing just caved in and the Government had to step in and start bailing companies out and pumping money into the economy with the stimulus package.

    Now I know most of you know this story, because we all lived through it. In one way or another, the recession has affected all of our lives and in many cases, it is still uncertain how we will get our next job or pay check. Everybody in the United States of America knew this country was in financial trouble and just how unstable the Amercian home and family are right now. The fabric of our society is being held together by a paper thin thread. The slighest trouble for any industry these days, could have a domino-effect on an entire sector of the market. While we all know this as Americans, it seemed the people running Fox Sports had no knowledge of Americans losing jobs and homes.

    The reason I know Fox Sports knew nothing about the recession or troubles facing Americans today, is because they asked for Dish Network customers to pay for their expensive homes, luxury cars, corporate office buildings, and other expenses they have acquired; while operating their sports programming around the country. All the executives from Fox Sports did, was to figure out their bills and how much money their company owed in expenses and how much money they would need to maintain their comfortable lifestyles. Once they got their dollar figure of the money they needed to make, it was time to bill their customers, who were using their television sports services.

    Since Rupert Murdoch, had ties with Fox, News Corporation, and Directv, they would not be asking for any pay increases from these customers, who were related to Murdoch services. The satellite company called Directv would be free of any pay increases or rate hikes, so their satellite services and prices could stay competitive with their biggest competitor Dish Network. While not increasing the Fox Sports rates for Directv Customers any, the Dish Network customers would see a rate hike, and they could just finish paying off the bill; for the money figure Fox Sports needed to operate on and to maintain luxury lifestyles.

     

    What Fox Sports didn’t realize, they were trying to increase Dish customer’s rates by more than 50%! And they were shocked when Dish Network refused to accept these outrageous charges? After seeing all of this, I knew the culprit was Fox Sports and they had been the blame from the start. So what finally caused Fox Sports to give in?

    Well after Dish not only refuses to pay higher rates, they are also left with 0 money owed to Fox Sports. In order to survive this sports blackout, they would have to increase rates to Directv customers and advertisers. Which Directv would not be too happy with and why would advertisers pay more; when their TV ads would be seen by less people? The World in which Fox Sports executives were living-in, no longer exists now. They were the last group in America to be affected by the recession. Now what future costs will Fox Sports be paying for their childish and spoiled rich ways?

    All advertisers who are seeking advertisements on television today, do want to continue avoid Fox Sports, the Fox News Channel, the local Fox stations, and the Fox Business Channel. Any TV channel that has the Fox name attached to it, is not a safe or wise long-term choice for advertising. The situation at Fox Sports is still very unsteady and they are not out of the woods yet. They still have to reconcile with the NCAA, Major League Baseball, NHL Hockey, and the National Basketball Association; which has just started up their season and was unable to bring their first games of the season to Dish Network sports fans, because Fox Sports blacked them out.

    Advertising on Fox TV Stations is NOT recommended. The sports world is going to have a long talk with Fox Sports for their senseless acts and all the problems they caused for them self and sports fans who missed out on their favorite teams playing. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the NBA and MLB go to other networks and if this happens, don’t expect the NHL to hang around either. Fox Sports will be working their way out of this deep hole for a long time to come and I will be directing advertisers away from Fox Sports and Fox Channels every chance I get.

    The final conclusion is the Dish Network Company won and did the right thing, by not paying ridiculous rate increases. Now by standing up to a huge corporation like News Corporation, it gives this satellite company something the other satellite company doesn’t have. A backbone!

    Fast Food Ads on TV

    When you see a TV commercial for food, does it often make you hungry? Most people probably get home from a long day of work and will eat right away. So when they turn the television on, it doesn’t make them as hungry. I am someone who works on the computer and will forget to eat sometimes. Since I am home all the time, it really isn’t that big of a deal. Now if I see an ad on TV, it can make me very hungry. The fast food ads do a good job with luring me in to their television advertisements.

    I know some restaurants like to point out the competition and state why their product is better than the other guys. I would never give attention or even recognized the competitor. I think this is true for most companies advertising on TV. No need to mention the competition and give them some time on the airwaves. Especially, when the TV commercial is being spent on your dime. I think fast food restaurants, who admit there is some fast food competition out there, should not practice this anymore. Just focus on what you have to sell and what trouble you went through to make it, so customers can come by and order it.

    I don’t guess there is any chance of getting you guys to remove all food pictures, from your TV commercials? OK, OK, OK, I just thought I would ask!

  • I have done a lot of surfing over the years, so I feel comfortable in naming a king and queen traffic exchange to others. I just didn’t look at one aspect, but the traffic exchange as a whole. One that provides good results, good admin, fun or easy to surf and understand, large membership base, and one that moves traffic steadily. With all of that said, I believe I have a king traffic exchange, that is a manual TE and the queen of traffic exchanges that would go to the best all around auto TE online.

    The King of all Traffic Exchanges online today is the Traffic Dance. This is the only traffic exchange online today, that I recommend people to join and upgrade. Traffic exchanges are great for free traffic and in most cases I would advise to not upgrade at any of them. It is different at the Traffic Dance, because the cost is really low at only $4 for upgrades and this will allow you to surf for bigger cash prizes from the bonus pages. Keep your eye out while surfing at the Traffic Dance for the bonus pages. This is an excellent way to find extra credits, textlinks, and even real cash money! The bonus page will have 9 squares and will have a disco ball as the middle square. Just click any square to claim a bonus. Your surfing ratio will increase as you surf more pages and get a new ribbon color each time. Free members can add up to 20 websites and that’s important to those who have a lot of referral links they want to promote online.

    The main reason that you want to upgrade, is so you can earn bigger cash prizes while surfing. If you surf regular, you can earn most, if not all, of that 4 dollar upgrade cost. So the cheap 4 dollar upgrade becomes even cheaper, after you start clicking some bonus pages while surfing. The Traffic Dance also offers team surfing. If you need a team to join, please feel free to send a join request to the Samba Ramba Team at the Traffic Dance. We have plenty of spots available and no tough surfing rules or minimums in place, for you to stay on the team. Show up at least a couple of times each week and you can be on the Samba Ramba team for a very long time. The Traffic Dance is the best all around manual TE you can find online today and you must join Traffic Dance to see why!

    The Queen of Traffic Exchanges comes in the auto variety. Don’t let anyone tell you auto exchanges are worthless. These folks just haven’t figured out how to make them work for their online promotions. Regardless of what you may or may not be promoting, auto traffic exchanges can help. They can work wonders in the search engines and for other key stats and online promotional goals. Figure out some of the tricks to the auto exchange world and learn how they can be an effective marketing tool for you and you will want at least a dozen auto TE’s on your side.

    The same criteria for the manual traffic exchanges is what I used in determining the best auto surf or the Queen Traffic Exchange. I don’t have any doubts as to right now; which auto surf that would be. I would proudly like to introduce Traffic Spammer as the best auto surf online today. It has a very unique concept on how to award and deliver credits. This is not a credit based system, but it is a time based platform for advertising. As you add your websites to Traffic Spmmer, you can set the amount of time you would like for your website to be seen. You could choose 15 seconds, 22 seconds, 42 seconds, 54 seconds, or even 59 seconds. Anything up to 59 seconds is allowed at Traffic Spammer. Then each time your page gets seen by other members surfing, you will be deducted that amount of time from your account. For instance, if you have 45 seconds in your account and you have your page set to be shown for 15 seconds each time, you would be able to get 3 views for your 45 second account balance. If you had your page set at 45 seconds per view; then you would only get 1 view for your 45 seconds you had in your account balance with Traffic Spammer.

    You can walk away and let your seconds build up like you would do with any other auto surf. However, if you keep an eye on the sites being shown while you surf at Traffic Spammer, you can click a bonus link for a lot of extra time to be added to your account. Traffic Spammer actually has an auto TE system in place; where members will want to watch the pages in rotation, so they can click those valuable bonus minutes. It will appear in the form of a link and you must click it, for you to claim the extra bonus time credits. If you don’t click any bonus links, you are still earning credit like you would for any other auto surf online. It’s these valuable bonus links, the great admin, and the large membership base for receiving unique hits, is why I award Traffic Spammer the Queen of Traffic exchanges. All you have to do is join Traffic Spammer for free to see why I am so high on this auto surfing traffic exchange.

  • Dish vs. Fox Sports

    Fox Sports and their advertisers need to listen up. The executives at Fox sports is trying to over-charge sports fans for their favorite sports games. I’m glad Dish Network stood up to these guys at Fox Sports. While I am the biggest sports fan you can find and have already missed key pro baseball games and my favorite college football teams play in the last couple of days, I don’t mind it. Due to the greed going over at Fox Sports; who try to demand a 50% rate increase for their sports channels. This is crazy! Times are not as good as they were a few years ago. This country is going through some hard time financially and as Americans we need to ban together so our way of living can continue. Sports is only entertainment and a way for people to escape for a few hours on the weekend or through the week from their hectic lives. Now is not the time to be demanding more money for your services; which aren’t always up and running.

    As an avid sports fan, I can tell you there are more audio and visual problems with Fox Sports than any other sports channel on television today. I get upset a lot that Fox Sports have all these technical issues and it really gets old seeing them coming from the same sports network over and over again. Now for their crappy service and unable to provide sports fans with the full video and audio effects of a lot of their sports programming, they want a rate hike of over 50% from every Dish Network subscriber? This is ridiculous and its time more of us stand up for our right like the people at Dish Network are doing.

    I am calling for an all-out ban on any advertiser who decides to advertise on Fox Sports. Actually, I think we should take this one step further. While Fox News and Fox Business are not part of the ban on Dish Network’s side of things, I think we need to send a message to the whole Fox community of TV channels. Any advertiser who decides to advertise their products or services on any channel of Fox, I say we stop using their products or services. Even if Dish Network and Fox Sports reach an agreement, our ban on Fox TV commercials will extend for the next year. So for 1 year, any commercial you see on any Fox TV station, please don’t use or buy their product any more. I encourage all advertisers to stop using Fox TV for any promotional advertising. The people from Fox Sports are trying to take money out of our pockets for their programming and they decide to do it during these hard economical times.

    Please join the fight and let’s teach the Fox company a lesson. We don’t need more expensive things in our lives right now. We need value and lower prices on everything across the board. People are losing their homes and are not working, due to the recent recession our country just recently went through. It’s time someone is taught a lesson and no better place to start; than with family of Fox TV Channels.

    *Do not buy from any advertisers who try to sell their products on Fox News, Fox Business, or Fox Sports after October 10th. All advertisers have a 1 week notice to cancel their advertisements and promotions on any Fox TV station. This ban is going to be good until October 10th, 2011. A one year ban for all companies who want to air their products or services on the Fox Network.

    Thank you Dish Network for looking out for your customers. I support you guys 100% with your decision to not pay these ridiculous price increases. It’s too bad the Directv customers have to pay companies like Fox for higher satellite television bills. I won’t be surprised if Fox Sports tries to increase their prices for those who use Direct TV. There is a reason why Dish Network customers pay less for their satellite television channels than those customers who use Dicrectv. It’s because of situations like this; which has been caused by the Fox family of TV stations.

    Please sports fans who are using Dish Network to watch your sports programming. It wasn’t Dish Network that took your favorite sports games off the air. This was Fox Sports who demanded to Dish Network that they pull their channels off of their satellite TV choices. This problem has been caused by Fox Sports and we do not need to give in to their greedy demands. Stand up for what is right and understand missing a few sports games right now isn’t the end of the World. This issue is much bigger than just watching our favorite sports teams playing each week. We should not be placing judgment on the people from Dish Network. We should put the blame on those directly responsible and that is for the President, CEO, and other high-level executives from the Fox Sports channels. Thank you Dish Network and I am behind you 100% and we can wait this thing out; until Fox Sports comes to their senses!

  • Why Some TV Commercials Even Exist

    I have to admit, I have never purchased an advertisement on television before. I would love to have the money, so I could buy a 30 second spot on TV. I’m not sure which one of my programs I would want to promote on a 30 second TV commercial, but would like to see the response I could get.

    Since I haven’t advertised on television (yet), I have no idea what the cost would be. I do know the 30 second TV commercials for the Super Bowl can cost 1 million dollars or more. I certainly won’t ever be advertising to the huge crowds that watch the biggest football game of the year, but I wonder what the prices are for other times of the day and year. A prime time commercial would be nice on one of the common network stations like ABC, CBS, or NBC. I think an 8 pm to 11 pm commercial would probably be $50,000 or more. So prime time is out for me, but perhaps I could sneak in during the wee hours of the morning on one of the less popular cable channels, like the Food Channel, Discovery Channel, History Channel, or a channel of that magnitude. You usually see a lot of infomercials on during these late night and early morning hours, so it must be some what affordable to some.

    I don’t even know why some people pay for TV commercials. It obviously costs a lot to be on television these days. It would only make sense, for you to put your best marketing and advertising minds on a big promotional ad like this. If TV is king of the hill in advertising and it costs a lot to be on TV, why not make your commercial good or entertaining? Some TV commercials are very boring or really make little sense. I’m not talking about 2 or 3 specific commercials. I’m talking about dozens I see each day are just really bad and I can’t understand why a company or an individual would just waste money like that. If you plan to make a TV commercial in the future, please make it worth watching. The DVR is just going to become more popular, if these advertisers just keep putting out poor TV ads in between our daily and night time programs.

  • If you ever stop to pay attention to the online ads when you read your emails or just surfing the Net, you may see one product that gets shown a lot. I’m talking about all of the colon cleaning ads I see each day. It’s been like this for about a year now and the World Wide Web is filled with various advertisements for these colon cleansers and having a clean colon ad. I believe now you can even get colon cleansing pills, so we will probably begin to see these ads too. I do think it’s important for us to maintain a clean and healthy colon. Just like your sewer tank outside needs to be pumped out ever so often at our house; our own sewer tank versions inside the human body need to be clean too. Getting rid of all of those harmful toxins and waste is a good thing. No one should be carrying around harmful waste inside of them. This can lead a person to becoming very sick and in some cases, even lead to death. Our colon cleaning treatments can save our life. This is what makes them important. I guess this is why we see all of the colon advertising online now and will continue to see them, as long as people need to understand the importance of having a clean colon.

  • Watching the Glee TV Show

    I have been hearing some interesting things about one of the newer shows on television these days. It is a TV program called Glee and is getting pretty popular. Do you ever watch this Glee show? Do you like it? I have seen a few previews and see a lot of people who sing on this show from the FOX Network. If you only could watch one program for an entire season, would you choose Glee or American Idol?

     I will have to find out what time this show comes on during the week and on which day it airs. I wasn’t really sure if this was a show for kids only or if the adults enjoyed watching it too. I have heard some adults getting into the Glee fun and even setting their DVR’s to record every episode. I would probably prefer to do it that way too, so I could fast forward through the commercials. I have seen enough TV advertising to last me a lifetime. I really hate watching Fox News or CNN in the morning times and seeing all of their ads they show. Some television programs just have way too many commercials. I will make plans to watch Glee and you can be sure on one thing. I will be fast forwarding every commercial I see, so I can watch the Glee TV Program in about 40 to 45 minutes.

  • Black Friday and Cyber Monday Coming Soon

    I can really have you sitting pretty this holiday season, but you must follow a few directions and you can’t let Cyber Monday or Black Friday pass you by. After everyone has eaten their turkey dinners on that Thursday we call Thanksgiving in late November. Once all of the holiday football action is over with and we know who all the winners and losers are. It will be time to take a nice little nap and prepare for a long day on Friday. This will be the first stop on our holiday savings trip and this is the day we refer to as Black Friday.

    Not sure what Wal-Mart or some of these other 24 hour retailers might do at midnight on Thursday night, but if they do plan to have some bargains at 12:00 Midnight, you will want to make sure to be there. This means going to sleep at about 4PM on Thursday afternoon and getting a good 5 or 6 hours of sleep in. Once you arrive at a Target or Wal-Mart sale, this will officially kick off the Black Friday holiday. You don’t want to go back home either (if you can help it). Try to leave straight from the Wal-Mart store and go to a place that will have a 3AM or 4AM opening on Black Friday. This is very important that you follow these directions to a “T”. Go ahead and arrive early. Be sure you get out of your car, so you can go grab a spot in line at the front door, if there is a line forming. If not, just start the line yourself! It might seem a little strange at first, when you are the only one outside standing by the door, but by the time those front doors open up, you will be the most envied person at that store’s front doors; while you go in a few minutes early or they give you a head start and make the others wait 5 or 10 minutes on it. There are some stores that will reward the first person or the first 10 people in line and give them a little boost over everyone else.

    Now the store you go to 2nd, assuming Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or a Target Super Store is your first one at midnight, may not be a store you are all that excited to be at. If I gave you a choice of any store to have the first spot in line at the door; which one would you choose? If one of the Best Buy locations is your first overall choice for an early arrival on Black Friday, then you are just like 95% of all of the other shoppers. Every year people plan to be at one of the big electronic stores and since Circuit City hasn’t been doing that well, it has left Best Buy at the top attraction on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Now remember when I said to follow my directions to a “T”? Well this is the part you will have to trust me on and if you do, I think you will have the best holiday shopping ever!

    What we want to do on Black Friday is to avoid Best Buy and Circuit City. Don’t close the door on Radio Shack, because they might be in a position to help those disappointed shoppers who didn’t get into a Best Buy store in the first 1 or 2 hours of opening their doors up. It really all depends on how much attention your Radio Shack location will draw in the wee hours of the morning Friday. I do want to make one thing clear. I am not avoiding Best Buy because its a bad store or company. Simply avoiding it, because this is where everyone else will be and I can be making the rounds at several stores!

    You will still have to use a little common sense and make some of your decisions based on the holiday budget you have to spend on Black Friday. If you can come up with $3,000; then that would be a super fun event with that much cash to splurge. If your not taking more than $1,000, you probably won’t have that best shopper in the world feeling. You really need at least a grand and more than likely, you will still have money left over to buy you a steak or a hibachi dinner at one of the Japanese Restaurants. Don’t worry if you don’t have the thousand bucks right now, because I don’t either. Now is when we start eating a little cheaper, driving a little less, and spending less of our money and we will begin to build up a little next egg. We still have a full season (3 months) to start saving up for this one very special Friday in late November.

    Now about the common sense. If  you see a broom and mop set that comes with a gallon of floor cleaner and you know they sell this cleaner for $5 a gallon on normal days, but this Black Friday they will give you the 1 gallon cleaner, a new broom, and a new mop for just a buck ($1). Well this package is probably worth 7 or 8 dollars at least, so picking one up for a dollar is totally fine. What if the store has 100 of these sets to sell and no limits to the number of sets you can buy. Well these might make a few nice holiday gifts for people at work or distant friends and relatives that you normally send some little gift to them. You may pick up some extra sets of this one dollar deal, but you really need to have some idea on where these brooms and mops are going, so you don’t end up with a dozen of these in a hall closet somewhere. An important rule to remember is to not over buy, because you never know when the next great deal might be around the corner.

    You can win on Black Friday and be the kings of all shoppers. Just stick to a few basic rules and you might want to start jogging a little or running, so you will be in good physical shape for your hustling adventures on Black Friday.

    *Save $1,000 or More Now for the Black Friday Shopping Budget. $3,000 Would Buy Every True Bargain You Will Find Before Noon Time.

    *Avoid Best Buy, Circuit City, or Any Other Retailer That is Attracting Big Crowds

    *Don’t Go Around Picking Out Gifts for the Family Members

    *Buy the Best Bargains and Cheapest Deals Every Time (don’t over buy an item, but multiples of 2 and 3 are encouraged)

    *Don’t Be Scared to Start Black Friday in the Wal-Mart Parking Lot Thursday Night

    *Go Browse the Stores a Week or 2 Before the Big Day / Keep a Memory of the Prices To Compare Later

    *Find a Partner! The Husband and Wife Teams Who Split Up and Take Certain Stores Are the Really Big Winners on Black Friday

    *Don’t Waste Time Learning About New Products. If It Appears Cheap or the Sign Says 60% Off. Just Grab It and Figure Out What It Does Later!

    *All Items Bought Should Be Snatched Up Swiftly and Continue On…

    *Don’t Be Ashamed To Run or Jog In the Stores. Get To the Checkout Lines Fast and Get Out.

    *Try To Visit 10 Stores or More; While Giving No Store More Than 30 Minutes of Your Time Freely. This Means 30 Minutes of Shopping and Browsing Time and Not Actual Time From Walking In and Walking Out.

    *Don’t Let Any One Store or One Shopping Item Take Away Your Attention or Time Away From All Other Products and Stores That Will Be Participating in the Festivities.

    *Tell Friends and Relatives Now About Your Intentions, So You Don’t Meet Up with Them That Morning and Waste Time Chit Chatting.

    *Avoid All Angry, Loud Mouth, or Honking Vehicles. A Disagreement or Argument Will Only Slow You Down. This Isn’t About Whose Right or Whose Wrong. This Is Your Day To Not Give Anyone The Time of Day.

    *Watches and Cell Phones Are Not Needed. Leave Them At Home or in the Car.

    *Bring a Cooler & Ice for Cold Drinks. No Time To Eat.

    *If Your Shopping Places Are Not Close To Your Hometown. You May Not Be Familiar with Roads and Parking Lot Designs at the Stores and Malls. Do All of This Recon Work When You Go For a Price Check on Some of the Items a Week or 2 Before. This Attention To Fine Details Can Save 1 Hour or More Over a 4AM to Noon Time Shopping Spree

    Now these are some of the tips for you to have the best Black Friday ever in 2010! When and if I come up with any more tips and tricks to add to the list, I will be sure to keep it updated. Please feel free to offer your suggestions too and I will get your ideas up on the board too, for all of us Black Friday Warriors to see!

    Remember, I don’t have to run faster than the bear. I just have to run faster than you!

    Now let’s talk about the 2nd biggest shopping day of the year. This will be on the Monday that follows right after the fun we are going to have on Black Friday.  Then it all equals out to a ton of people online and the majority of them visiting the places where you go to shop online. You can actually set your watch by some of these Cyber Mondays.

    Like for instance, in the Eastern USA most employees and especially those in the office will be working a 9 to 5 schedule. A lot off these employees on the East Coast will begin taking lunch breaks at 11 AM . A big portion of them will have a small meal or snack and they will eat for the first 15 minutes of their hour long break. Once it gets to about 11:15 EST; the numbers start to light up all over on the World Wide Web. Just like it was a well planned out system by a bunch of people who wanted to shut down the Internet systems of the World or at least the ones in this country.

    The 11:15 a.m. Cyber Monday shoppers are the first ones who really make that Monday appear like no other day of the year, in terms of the World that exists online. Now those taking lunch breaks at 11 on the eastern side will keep the traffic levels high as the lunch breaks will continue to cycle around to 2 p.m. est. By the time most lunch breaks have ended  back East, the employees on Pacific time are only beginning to take their 11 a.m. PST lunch breaks. So as some of the traffic starts to exit offline up and down the Atlantic Coast of the USA; all of those office workers with access to a computer and want to do a little online shopping, will keep the traffic numbers up when they start appearing online up and down the Pacific Coast of the USA.

    Now if you thought these lunch breaks was well planned out, all across the country, then check this out. As the last employees clock their self back in from the West Coast States, as they cycle through all of their lunch hour breaks by 2 p.m. in the afternoon local time. The 5:00 o’clock whistle is a blowing loud and hard back east, for everyone to go home. When it look like the Internet Highway was going to get a break, the work day has came to an end on the Eastern Coast, so now the workers who didn’t have access to a computer on their lunch breaks, they begin to fill up the Cyber World and it’s just a non stop, heavy online traffic, for a lot of the big name websites; which the Cyber Monday crowds will be flocking too.

    Remember all of those electronic stores and other high traffic places, I wouldn’t let you go to on Black Friday?

    I look forward to working with many of you this Black Friday and again online for Cyber Monday in the latter portion of the month of November.

    Twitter Come Back for Amanda Bynes

    The Famous Amanda Bynes Tweet

    Hollywood directors for TV shows and movies can now add Amanda Bynes name back on the list for new employees to hire. This is another reason to show and prove to the world just how powerful the the social networking world has became. It was one of the most famous tweets ever and it came from an ex-actress named Amanda Bynes. She was a retired actress, but now according to her Twitter account, the young and talented Miss Bynes is now open for business again! She announced on her Twitter account, that she is ready to star in another big Hollywood blockbuster or will just take a job as a TV show actress. I guess the girl has to eat like the rest of us and she figured out she needed more money, before she could retire from acting.

    Amanda Bynes Returns

    If you didn’t know that Amanda Bynes had retired from acting don’t feel so bad. I wasn’t aware she had hung it up either; until I heard the news today. It’s funny it took a social networking website like Twitter to announce that Amanda Bynes has returned to acting. I’m sure a lot of new job offers will come her way. Looks go a long way in Hollywood and so does youth. Amanda Bynes combines both of those qualities and more.

    It should be interesting to see where her next job will come from. If I had to guess now, I will say she will appear on a TV show as a guest appearance. This will be some quick money she can put in the bank account, so she can live high and mighty until she finds more permanent work here in the real world.

    Do you have any guesses on where we might see Amanda Bynes pop up next? Hey Amanda! If you’re reading this blog post now, can you please confirm your comment on your Twitter account; that you have made a come back to the acting scene? I’m sure any comments left by you on my blog, would go a long ways into helping this blogger stay employed. By the way, let me know if you need any blog work done and I will be sure to lend you a hand.
