Internet marketing is very intricate and challenging.  I have been working on the internet for over 7 years now and it amazes me the new things I learn on a daily basis.  I have learned the importance of finding a company that provides a full service of internet marketing tools, all under one roof.

The biggest mistake that people make is to think that they have ALL the information they need to know and they stop learning.  Not only is technology changing on a regular basis but so are the methods of internet marketing.  As we all know, email contacts used to be the way to go.  That procedure is encountering difficulty with people quick to hit their delete button.

I try to keep an open mind to new techniques and to educate myself on the “better ways” to do things.  Just this past week I came across a remarkable trainer that has opened my mind to a lot of new ways to become successful on the internet and make money.  After all, isn’t that what we are all hoping to do?

A person can spend a lot of money on the marketing tools they need to accomplish the tasks of their business.  You have to think about having a hosting company, domains, email provider that will accommodate the magnitude of emails you will be sending out, an auto responder system, a complete video marketing system, and so much more.

About three months ago I was introduced to Global Virtual Opportunities (GVO). They provide not only a hosting company but the best arsenal of marketing tools I have seen to date. Everything you need to succeed online is included in your membership.

Most people are in need of a hosting company, even if they do not want to get involved with an MLM opportunity. GVO’s hosting has been around for about 12 years. With unlimited private labeled reseller hosting you can make money with GVO’s hosting company.

Top notch internet marketers and leaders have joined GVO because they realize the stability and value of this company.  You can not know what GVO is all about and that is why they offer a two week trial period for one dollar.  That way you can get in and see the value of the hosting company.  You can build a web page or start a blog.  I will be sharing information on all of the various tools in GVO over my next few articles.  One very important feature I want to point out about GVO and that is they have great training and a fantastic support center that will not leave you hanging and unsure of what to do.

To find out how you can take your business up to the next level be sure to check out GVO.  Great tools, great training, great support and a great price.

I wish you success,

Especially at this time of the year we are looking for the best deals online to help our money stretch. Check on the deals listed on this page.

I have found one of the best places to purchase Wii products is on Amazon. They have great prices and if you spend over $25.00 shipping is free. Think of what you will save on larger ticket items just on tax!

To begin your Wii experience you will need the Wii Console. In case you hadn’t noticed the price on this system has recently dropped by $50.00 in most stores. This console does not take up a lot of room and is easy to operate. It can be stood up or laid down which makes finding a location for it quite easy.

Check out Amazon as they offer a lot of “bundle” deals including the Console and various groups of games.

Being a grandma, I have had first hand experience with Wii!! I have come to realize that Wii is more than a game system for the younger set. In addition to all of the games, there are programs to help us older folks get fit, and lots of other programs that we would enjoy. I really have fun times with my grandchildren playing anything from what we call Cow Racing (actually it is Charge on the Wii Play), to Shawn White Snowboarding (yes I even get up on the grind rails!) and Crosswords.

The Wii Play includes such great activities as Billiards, Table Tennis, a shooting range, a point-and-fire game of target practice in the Duck Hunt tradition, Pose Mii, Table Tennis, Fishing, Charge! and Laser Hockey, Tanks and Find Mii, in which you scan the crowds to find the right Mii – Miis you and your friends created make an appearance. Just this one game provides hours of fun and entertainment. As a special bonus this video comes with a remote control.

The Wii Fit Plus is the newest fitness video for Wii. You can input the amount of time you want to devote to your fitness program and/or what areas of your body you want to target, and Wii will suggest a diverse routine for you. You will be having so much fun with the various programs you will not even think of it as a workout! There is jogging, yoga and zooming across a beach on a Segway just to mention a few. If you do not already own a balance board you will need one of these to use the Wii Fit Plus. Amazon offers a bundle deal with the Wii Fit Plus Video and the Balance Board. Please click on any of the Amazon product links above to shop the various items on Amazon and find the current price deals.

I hope that you have as much fun with the Wii System as I do. I am personally looking forward to buying the Wii Fit Plus and Balance Board. This will definitely help me in my fitness program.

You are never too old to have fun!

Before I call it a day, I would like to share an update on The Metabolism Miracle diet.  I promised to keep you abreast of my journey with this program.  I will be finishing two weeks on Monday (today is Saturday).  Although you are not supposed to get on the scale until the end of the eighth week, I could not take the suspense!  As of this morning I have lost seven and one half pounds.  For someone who has been trying to lose weight for what seems like forever, this  was indeed a happy discovery.

My grandkids spent the night last night and our tradition for breakfast is chocolate chip pancakes.  Ever since I was a child I have loved pancakes.  They just did not fit into my current eating plans.  In The Metabolism Miracle book I found a recipe called, “Silver Dollar Pancakes”.  Having previously tried another diet’s pancakes, I was somewhat apprehensive to give this recipe a try.  However I did and to my surprise and delight, they were delicious.  I let my grandkids try them and they said, “Gramma they taste like vanilla pancakes, they are good.  With some carb-free syrup I didn’t feel the least bit deprived.  Below is the recipe:

Silver Dollar Pancakes

For Steps One, Two and Three (6 mini pancakes = 5×5 carb food

Makes about 30 pancakes, one serving size = 6 pancakes = approximately 3 grams of net carb

Cooking oil spray

1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1/3 cup soy flour

1 tablespoon canola oil

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 packet Splenda

Pinch of salt

4 eggs beaten

Spray a griddle pan or skillet with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl blend together the ricotta cheese, soy flour, canola oil, vanilla, Splenda and salt.

Fold in the beaten eggs and mix into a batter-like consistency.

Spoon onto the prepared hot pan, lightly brown on both sides.

Serve with carb-free syrup, light whipped cream, or a dollop of carb-free jelly.

I am already feeling a difference with following this diet.  I don’t have any cravings (even was able to sit and watch my family eat warmed apple pie with vanilla ice cream!), am not the least bit hungry , have more energy and see a difference in my mid section.

I am truly encouraged that I have finally found a “diet” that is working with my body conditions.  I am looking forward to a healthy future and the reduction, and possibly deletion of my medications.

Please check back for updates.

Blessings,

Judy Conway

Holidays are just around the corner. What do holidays mean to you? They all mean something different to each of us. Before we are caught up in the chaos of Thanksgiving and Christmas let us all take a deep breath, sit and take a quiet moment to search our hearts and decide what these special days mean to us.

We all have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. The God who sits on the throne of our hearts, our families, loved ones, friends, the lives of our people in the military service, and the list goes on. It means more than turkey, all the trimmings and Grandma’s favorite pumpkin pie.

Remember those who have lost their lives for our freedom and have left families and loved ones with memories of their lives. There are those who have lost their jobs or encountered financial difficulties. A meager turkey sandwich, or no meal at all could be their meal of celebration. These people will be thankful just for having survived another day. As we give thanks let us keep each other in our prayers. Reach out to those in need. Think of ways we can bear one another’s burdens.

Now on to Christmas. With economic conditions as they are this is going to be a very stressful time for many. I hope the following will give some encouragement. This piece was written many years ago during a very difficult time in my life. I had been divorced after 12 years of marriage when my husband chose a different lifestyle, lacking financial support and feeding my 2 children on $10.00 a week. By the grace of God I am here today to help others in whatever way I can. I am recently retired and can’t financially help others, but I can be that gentle touch, or caring shoulder to cry on and show them that they are loved, not only by me, but by Jesus.

THE GREATEST GIFT

As the last faint sounds of Christmas carols fade off in the distance, and the water begins to chill around your ankles as you soak your aching feet …. What will you really recall about Christmas? What was the greatest gift?

I honestly believe that if a poll was taken as to the true meaning of Christmas, “receiving/buying gifts” and “Santa Claus” would rank as the most often answered.

Will a smile of love and appreciation cross our faces in the midst of scurrying around to find a bigger and better present for sister Sally than what brother Joe will give her; hunting down the fullest and tallest tree, and decorating our dwellings. Will we remember the real purpose of this Holiday Season, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? Will we stop to ponder about that baby in the manger and how His life and death has brought meaning to our lives? His life was an example of the way we are to live. He loved us so very much that He was obedient to the end, even unto death on a cross.

We seem to get so caught up in the materialistic outlook of life we lose touch with the most important gift we have to give, not only at Christmas, but every day of our lives. That gift is the gift of love. Not love as the world knows it, but as Jesus Christ lived it. Instead of, or in addition to, decorating the outside of our dwellings, we should decorate the inside of our “temples”. We should take Christmas out of our pocketbooks and put it back in our hearts!

Have a blessed Holiday and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season! ~~~

You are loved for the person you are and your love for others. Especially during these hard times you don’t have to “buy” your way into someone’s heart and wonder how you are going to pay your credit card bills. True love cannot be bought!

I hope that you will have a blessed holiday season. A loving hug or a special phone call will mean so very much to the people whose lives you have touched. You are a special person who is loved without a present in your hands.

Happy Holidays!

Our current economic conditions have caused many financial hardships for many people.  You can learn how to make money with foreclosure cleanouts, thus helping your financial crisis.

Companies have been forced to downsize leaving many people without jobs and the job market with less available options.  People are faced with working more than one job, and perhaps a woman who was a “stay at home mom” is forced back into the job force.

People who have been laid off and are unable to find a replacement job may have to take an early retirement.  It is very difficult to meet expenses on what one makes on Social Security.

I want to share a business opportunity that is helping many.  People are finding they are able to  supplement their Social Security, and others are earning enough to meet their expenses.  They are also enjoying the flexibility of having their own business.  Would that be something that would appeal to you?

You might have already heard of this program.  It has been seen on Oprah, CBS, PBS and CNN.  You will receive a 265 page training manual to give you all of the information you will need to make money with foreclosure cleanouts.  You will be given a step by step blueprint on every aspect of what you need to do to be successful.

I know that it is sad to think of the families that are losing their properties to foreclosures, but you can be in the position to profit from their loss.  You will be learning from someone that has over 12 years in this industry.  Perhaps you will be in the position to share this opportunity with someone that will enable them to save their home from foreclosure.

You will be shown how to make full-time earnings from part-time hours and given a complete blueprint for success.  Currently, as you are well aware, there is a tremendous amount of foreclosures and mortgage companies are in need of your services.  The mortgage companies and banks want to protect their investment.  When a property they generate a work order.  Why not be on the other side of that work order?

If you are interested in building a REAL business you are in the right place.  This is not a get rich quick scheme.  You will be shown the proper steps to take to make money with foreclosure cleanouts. It is up to you to take those steps.

This program will provide you with a long term solution to your financial success.

I wish you great success.

2009 is coming to an end.  How many of us have met our weight loss resolutions?  Why did you not lose weight in 2009? It is so very hard.  I want to encourage you that you still have 52 more days to still chisel away at those pounds!  Do not give up! Just keep your goal in sight.

I know that I am not about to give up.  I might not have lost all the weight I had set forth to lose, but at least I have not gained.  To me that is a plus.  Even if you finish out the year having lost only 10 or so pounds, you have done well. Congratulations!  It is a beginning for more weight loss in 2010.

I have been on a diet since I was 13 years old.  I have lost myself time and time again.  I did have one short spell in my life for about three or four years where I had lost about 70 pounds and had kept it off.

Alas, then came divorce, I became a single mom, had a hysterectomy and quit smoking.  What was I ever thinking?  Bit by bit those pounds crept back on. I have tried the same diets I have gone on in the past and lost weight.  The only difference is they are not working any more.

I look at people around me on the same diet I am doing  and they are losing and I am not losing an ounce.  Why?  It is so very frustrating.  Have you ever been in that situation?

Recently I read an article in the First for Women magazine, their November 16th, 2009 issue,  entitled, “Always Craving Carbs?”.  This article has confirmed to me what I have discovered lately.

You see, I have a Metabolism problem, and have even been diagnosed with insulin resistance.  I have followed to the tee eating programs given to me by a nutritionist at my physician’s office.  No progress whatsoever.  I often feel that people are looking at me are thinking, “Yeah, right, she has got to be cheating on her program.”  Trust me I am not.  Lately, I discovered that carbohydrates are affecting me differently than they do other people.

This article deals with a book written by Diane Kress, R.D., titled, “The Metabolism Miracle”.  She goes into detail about the fact that everyone is not a Metabolism A person.  There are about 46% of us who fall into the alternative Metabolism B Category.  This means that our bodies will not respond to the same diet program that a Metabolism A person’s body does.  This is probably why the plan my nutritionist gave me did not work.

There are three steps to this program. I have just begun Step One which will last for eight weeks.  This will be a low carb period to rest my overworked pancreas and liver while shrinking fat cells.  During this period there should be a decrease in cholesterol (hurray), triglycerides (double hurray), blood sugar and blood pressure.

I am going to be devoted to this program for many reasons.  Mainly, I do not want to live my life with deteriorating health conditions, increased medications and possibly insulin.  Even as I write these words, it only confirms that this is a matter of life or death to me.  I am 63 years old and have a lot more years I want to spend with my family and to be able to watch my grandchildren grow up and start their lives.  I might be selfish, but I do not want to miss out on those times.  My family is very important to me.  It has been the glue that has held my life together.

Here are a few clues that you might have Metabolism B:

  • Midline fat
  • Diets that have worked in the past no longer produce results
  • Decreased calories, increased physical activity but no weight loss
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Mother with pre-diabetes and a sister with gestational diabetes
  • Craving for carbohydrates
  • Fatigue and mild depression

Of course, before you embark on this or any diet program, check with your doctor.  At least get a full blood workup so you will be able to check you numbers and make a decision for yourself that this could be an answer to your weight problem.

I will be keeping you posted on my blog as to my progress.  I have not had success with my physician’s guidance, or lack thereof, in losing weight.  I do know that a lot of my symptoms are outlined in “The Metabolism Miracle” and I just cannot walk away from it without giving it a try.

I am also using Leslie Sansone’s, “Walk Away the Pounds Express” DVD which gives me a brisk two mile walk that amounts to thirty minutes of increased heart rate.

I am looking forward to welcoming 2010 on the road to better health.  I will also have been able to lose weight in 2009!  I am not going to be asking myself the same question this time next year, “Why did you not lose weight in 2010?” I hope that this has been helpful to you.  Please feel free to comment and if you choose to try this program, let me know how you are doing.  We can all encourage to one another.

Blessings,

As cool fall weather sets in, our thoughts turn the holidays. It is time to start planning to make travel arrangements to go home and be with loved ones. Now is the time to start planning so that we will be able to get the best deals out there.

With the economy the way it is and airline and travel expenses on the rise I would like to offer some assistance. To help you with your planning I would like to offer you a free report filled with cheap travel tips. Check out this Free Report from Globe Cheap. See how much you can save on your next getaway.

Whether you are dreaming of a winter skiing destination, or would rather escape to a warm paradise, these tips will help you save big on your next winter vacation.

1. Make a vacation budget and stick to it

How much can you afford, exactly? Find out now, or else have a plan to have a specific amount saved up by the time winter rolls in.

2. Plan well in advance

When it comes to budget travel, time is one of your most important tools. You need time to make advance reservations

and to research the best deals.

3. Shop around

Now is the time to go comparison shopping for travel options, accommodations, and major attractions.

4. Compare different modes of travel

Depending on where you would like to go, various means of traveling will have different costs. Also consider how many people are traveling. If you are a family, it’s usually cheaper to drive than to fly. If you’re traveling solo, you may have more options – including carpooling with friends or family.

5. Ask for discounts

Sometimes you just have to ask, to receive discounts. At the hotel or airline, for example, ask for free upgrades on your room or flight. Ask your credit card provider about travel options they offer to clients at reduced rates, such as travel insurance coverage, etc. Don’t forget to ask hotel/hostel owners and tour operators for discount coupons, such as to the nearest attractions.

6. Share a vacation rental

If you are traveling in a group, or can find family and friends to vacation with, sharing a rental house for a flat fee can be very economical.

7. Try a hostel

Hostels go for as as low as $20/night, so they’re a budget option you should consider.

8. Cook your own meals

Eating out can be very expensive. Stay in hotels or rentals where you can cook your own meals. Or pack your meals in a cooler, if you are traveling by car. Check out the hotels that offer a free breakfast. This is especially helpful when you are traveling with children. It is amazing how expensive just getting coffee can be and it adds up over a period of a week or two.

9. Get as many discounts as you can

If you are a student or traveling with a student, make sure to bring student ID cards or International Student Cards. This free report from Globe Cheap lists other discounts you or a family member may be eligible for. Also explore discount passes when buying online or by certain dates. If you are a Senior Citizen be sure to ask for your discount price.

10. Borrow equipment

If you are going skiing, bring your own or borrowed equipment rather than renting them at the resort. If you plan to go skiing often, it’s probably cheaper to buy our own equipment in the long run, instead of renting every time.

11. Explore discount packages

Hotels and travel agencies usually offer packages that include travel, accommodation, meals and entrance to various attractions. These usually cost less than if you paid for each one individually. They usually also offer discounts for early booking. One word of advice is to be sure to check out the cancellation policies.

12. Travel off-season

The peak season for traveling in winter is around Christmas and New Year. If you don’t mind traveling around those dates, you’ll find everything cheaper. It’s also usually cheaper to travel on weekdays or midweek rather than on weekends.

13. Consider warm-weather destinations

Looking to escape from the cold? Consider places where the US dollar goes farther, such as small Caribbean islands, Mexico, and parts of Central America and Asia. Some destinations within the United States are also cheaper in the cold season.

14. Don’t touch the minibar

Bring everything you need so you won’t have to open the water bottle in the hotel, or get snacks from the minibar. You’ll pay ridiculous prices for these! Some hotels also charge extra if you request additional towels and toothbrushes. If you must, buy extra supplies at the nearest grocery store, not from the hotel. And don’t forget to pack those over-the-counter medications you usually use! It is amazing what a package of aspirins costs in a vending machine.

15. Stay off the beaten path

Consider staying a little farther from major attractions. You will save tons on accommodations – as long as you will not be paying through the nose for public transportation or parking.

16. Camp out

If you’re going to a warm destination, plan to go camping. It’s a very cheap traveling alternative. If you’re driving, find the cheapest places to get gas.

17. Look for free attractions

Entrance fees to tourist attractions can also add up very quickly. Do some research to find free attractions at your destination. These could include malls, national parks and historic streets or towns. Find out when museums are open to the public for free.

More Cheap Travel Tips

You can get even more FREE tips for budget traveling from Globe Cheap’s Free Report. Grab it and see how much you can save from your next winter getaway.

I hope that this information has been helpful and that you will take this opportunity to obtain Globe Cheap’s Free Report. I wish you all a very safe trip wherever you may travel.

Blessings,

Judy Conway
