Re: Twittering Dad vs Texting Daughter

Cindy King — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 02:38:38 -0000

Now, now, Jeremy.

I just signed up with Mixx after reading something you wrote on it - let me get used to that before trying out Twitter.

I guess I just showed my age. I have 2 teenage daughters, and hear you about the texting. They would have immediately jumped into trying out something new.

How old do kids around you get there own telephones?
In France, in the countryside, where I live, 11 years is the natural time to start thinking about it. That's when the kids start going to "collège" - I guess that's junior high. In the country side that often translates to kids being in schools a little further from home. More parental taxi jobs. And giving 11 year olds a phone makes life easy;

But that is a bit young for texting.

So, I wonder if there is a "natural" age limit for Twitter? And have I reached it...?

Hi Web Sys India

There really aren't that many books out there on Landing Page Optimization.
And I really appreciated this book - I'm sure you will too.

Re: Can Virtual Assistants Make You More Productive? An Experiment

You really have this covered. I was just reading that someone was putting together a plan like this to sell, it seems you post will eliminate the need to sepend money on his product!

Great post, I stumbled it and included it in my Sunday Blog Carnival.

Re: Am I Saving Money - Or Just Wasting My Time?

Cindy King — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 07:40:15 -0000

Interesting post and I have included it in my blog carnival.

I am lucky, I never get gas, my partner does that. The lines here in France are much shorter than the US, he never has more than one car in front of him and he always has a book in the car. This is something that can change your calculation. If you have a 15 minute way and spend the time reading a book, then it is not wasted time. The trick it to get into the habit of taking a book with you anywhere you go.

Living in France, we are paying about $7.15 for a gallon of gas.
about $1.90 for a liter of gas
3.79 liters to the gallon

Stumbled the post.

Great post, but I hope your outsourcing does not mean that you will be giving fewer of these posts!

I do like the idea of outsourcing the tasks that don't bring in money, but tasks that still need done. I have not done much yet, but do think that it will be something I do in the near future. Having part of the research do is a great example. One ting I did was outsource some programming. My partner normally does it, but there was one item that was out of his skill set. We used rent-a-coder to have the programming done and this helped in 2 ways. First, my item was done over a weekend and second, my partner was able to read the code and figure out how to duplicate the process for our next projects.

Re: Top 10 End of The World Scenarios

Cindy King — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:08:00 -0000

Republicans would only destroy the US economy, the rest of the world would slowly follow into recession, but we would survive.

Disease Pandemic is the thing that will hurt the most - or at least in the shortest time. I am always amazed at not being allowed to carry a bottle of water on an airplane while at the same time a person who is obviously sick is allowed to board a plane.

Re: Monkeys Show Their Generous Side

Cindy King — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:14:02 -0000

Very impressive study. I read the book "Influencer" that had a study about children given the option of eating a candy now, or waiting a short time (I forget how long, maybe 15 minutes) and getting 2 instead of one. Most kids could not wait the time limit, but if they saw what an adult did to not eat - get occupied in another way - they copied the adults.

I wonder if the monkeys could be taught to act in the same way.

Re: 10 Benefits for Businesses to Start Blogging

Cindy King — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:46:27 -0000

Great points Wayne!
I really appreciated reading them right now.

Just started a company a couple of months ago and chose to start off with a blog, two in fact, instead of a traditional brochure style website.

I've had some surprised reactions from other businesses. "Oh but your website is only a blog" type reaction

But I really like all of the feedback from readers that the blog gives me. I'm sure the blog actually gives me more market research information than a traditional website would have.

This is critical for a company just starting out. And, guess what? The market feedback has lead me to readjust my target audiences. There is a lot to say for business blogging.

The brochure website will probably come later - right now learning WordPress was my priority. One thing at a time.

some browsers allow you to edit web pages instead of looking for the source. I've seen this done on sales pages too.

Re: Blog Marketing Tips #1: How to Optimize Blog Post Titles

Cindy King — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 09:58:28 -0000

It is also useful to have long titles.
80 characters - begin with a keyword phrase followed by keywords.

Like this blog post "Blog Marketing Tips" as a phrase and "Professional" & "Bloggers" as the keywords in a title that is 71 characters long.

Hmmm, I originally stopped by to tell you that I've just published your article on the most recent Marketer Review Blog Carnival and I see the trackback didn't work. Yours is not the first site, I must have done something wrong on my post. I'll have to look into this.
