Bulletins at MySpace

Have I mentioned that one of the delightful things about working from home, for yourself, is that you can easily take a day or two off when the unexpected erupts?! It's so true (to a point ;-) and Friday was one of those days for me... Thank God for Internetwork Marketing!!!

Anyway... what I want to share today is about posting bulletins over at MySpace.

The only way I see for sending out a bit of information to all of the friends on your friends list is via a feature called 'Bulletins'. These are only seen from your space behind the scenes and when you post a bulletin it stays up for 10 days. Be aware that only the 10 most current bulletin headlines appear on your list... in order to see more you would have to click the link that says 'View all Bulletins'. I'm not sure how many people bother.

Depending on the number of friends you have and how active they are about posting bulletins, your post can be buried quite quickly but don't let that discourage you from posting them.

A couple of things of things you might want to remember:

Don't overdo when it comes to posting bulletins! People will not respond favorably if you post the same thing multiple times in a day... I personally wouldn't even post the same message multiple times in the same week.

Understand that a 'bulletin', by definition is a 'brief, public message' and social communities online define it pretty much the same way. Yours will be most effective if they are truly sharing something interesting... even better if they share something remarkable. Things worth remarking about can be as varied as a certain restaurant, a great band, a car or a dry cleaner but if it doesn't spark an irrepressible enthusiasm in you and from you then don't bother posting it!

The value of posting bulletins on a regular basis is that it keeps you (and hopefully the content of your posts) on the minds of others and they will learn to trust that you are around, active and available.

The risk of posting is that doing it poorly or inappropriately will find you wishing you weren't on their minds at all!

Be authentic, sincere and passionate and you are REMARKABLE!

Have fun,

EXPECT MIRACLES!

Day 1 ~ Mary K

=====> sliding in at the end of the day... whew! LOL

It's been an exciting and revealing day! I've learned a lot about how I get side-tracked and how to get myself back on track. If it weren't for this experiment I don't believe I'd be on track yet! ;-)

I want to share my intentions for this venture --

• To make $1000 in the next 30 Days
• To engage in clear, specific actions around this project for a maximum of 2 hours daily
• To share my results honestly and in a meaningful way so that others can expand on my experience to attain their own success
• To become more consistent and disciplined in my writing
• To create a system that can easily be duplicated by myself and others for sustaining the flow of cash

Okay... Since this is Day 1 I was going to confess that the day was a wash for me. Not true! As I went to write up my list of daily actions I realized that I didn't have the clarity I needed. So, today was a learn as you go kind of day.

Man... I now realize what a challenge it will be for me to share with you how long things are taking. I am appreciating the new clarity I've gained about how I actually take action in order to feel my way through to the clarity of what action to take! :-) Lest you're totally confused by that statement let me just explain that as I started writing up the 'Action List' I realized I had some prep work to do, like gathering links together and creating logins for various social bookmarking sites that I had previously overlooked. This took me hours... I don't know exactly how many because there were many interruptions and various distractions. As I move forward with this experiment I am going to set aside a couple of hours each day where I won't answer the phone or let myself get side-tracked by IM's ;-)

Now that I feel as though I have my feet on the ground I've come up with a plan that feels good.


For the next 30 Days I will:

• Create a simple Squidoo lens based on chosen keywords
• Write an article based on those chosen keywords
• Submit article to directories
• Ping and Bookmark the Squidoo Lens
• Post one Ad
• Post to one of my most relevant blogs

That's it... that's all. Six simple actions performed consistently that will result in my earning $1000 over the next 30 Days!!!

Wish me luck!!! See ya tomorrow!!
