I Have Finished My Degree And I'm Back

Wow, It doesn't seem like its was back in December when I created my last post. Well nevertheless, I have completed my Bachelor degree in Finance with the University Of Phoenix Online. It has been a long three years of studying...

Now it's back to business Online Marketing...

And I will share some of what I learned in my classes that is right in our faces on a daily basis that we downgrade and allow big business to make fortunes off of. Direct Marketing... Yes those that took the class and have access to the book we studied from in Marketing class will take this and run with it while others keep believing that is's a scam or pyramid.

I realize that schools are to teach you how to go get a job not be your own boss so of course we didn't cover topic on entrepreneurship. And believe me what you don't know will keep you broke and depending on government assistance.

So stay tuned as I will be posting  more often and getting back into my routine.

God Bless

I Quit Smoking Cigarettes Cold Turkey

I smoked cigarettes for over 25 years. Everyone I know that quit, gained anywhere from 20 - 50 pounds or more. I knew that smoking was bad for me but I also knew that gaining weight would cause it's own set of health problems.

Well I decided to quit February 29th of 2016. Lucky for me, I had found some weight loss products that I was interested in marketing so I decided to try it for myself. The program suggested replacing two meals a day with shakes and two snacks a day with a chewable tablet and water. This was to be done for 6 days and you rest on the 7th day. I started with what my budget could afford which was the Stay-fit package that included 1 Shakeoff and 1 Chewoff. I usually eat breakfast and lunch when I'm at work then not much else for the day. Along with the digestive problems I have those two meals by them self, I would be miserable for eating too much.

So I decided I would replace breakfast with a shake and have a chew a hour or two later then eat lunch at noon followed by another chew before I leave work. Once I get home in the evening I try to find something light to snack on. The amazing thing was I was eating more but less. You know the 3 meals a day and 2 snacks the nutrition experts say you are supposed to have daily, I was getting there and the digestive issues that I had was getting better. What a relief! I was doing great and feeling great until a personal trainer decided to give me a meal plan that included a lot more food. As I tried to follow this plan I was back to eating more than my digestive system could handle and I was miserable once again. And as far as the sweet craving from not smoking cigarettes, I was doing great. And I was actually starting to look slimmer because I wasn't stuffed and bloated all of the time.

Fast forward 6 months later after getting back on track with replacing at least 1 meal a day and 2 snacks, I am maintaining my original weight from before I quit smoking. One of the things I left out the program suggests that truthfully I haven't started yet is walking 30 minutes 3 times a week. I'm not going to bore you with my excuses of why I haven't started walking but it is apart of my short-term goals. The important thing though, is that I am still smoke free and I have a plan for eating better that is working wonderfully. So if you want to quit smoking and minimize your weight gain, give Chew the Fat Off (CTFO) products a try. They offer a 60 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the products. http://angel33.myctfo.com  


Good luck on you smoke free journey!

How to Make a Living Online - and How Not To!

Making a living online can be fraught with danger and pitfalls. Here's how to avoid some of them....

"I make a living online!"

That's a statement right? Right!

But is it a statement of fact?

Who knows?

Well, I do because I know it's true, but how do you know I'm telling the truth?

You don't of course. But there are some things you can look for that will help you decide.

How often have you seen something like: 
"Make a ton of cash - now!
No selling
No MLM
No stock to buy
No customers to deal with
Join our upside-down, instant-cash matrix now and get rich!

It goes without saying that the above is dubious to say the least. Yet, many people fall for ads like this on a regular basis.

So, the old saying "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is", could be words of wisdom.

Golden Rule: Go with your gut feeling.

Grade these statements:

1. Anyone can make a living online!
2. You don't need capital to start a business!
3. It's much cheaper to start a business online than in the 'real world'!
4. You don't need to sell products or services to make money online!
5. You can make money instantly online!

These are my thoughts on the above:
1, 3 & 4 - generally speaking, true.
2 & 5 - generally speaking, false.
An observation about 1 above is to make a distinction between 'making money' and 'earning a living'. The former could be a one-off 5 cents, while the latter could need to be $100 per day, depending, of course on individual requirements.

My dad often says; "you don't get something for nothing!"

Translated into American English it means; "there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Never invest in an opportunity that you are not sure about. Instead, find something that you are interested in and will enjoy doing. In other words; do what you like doing, and the money will follow.

"Okay Anginetta", I hear you say, "get to the point".

The point is this:
If you expect to make a living online without doing any work and without spending any cash upfront, go get a 'proper' job instead - preferably one that allows you to daydream a lot.

However, if you're prepared to spend some time, researching, listening & learning and have allocated some kind of budget (we're not talking megabucks here), then it's perfectly feasible to make a living online.

I started an enterprise about seven months ago with $300 and it's now earning me $500 per month residual income and growing. It took some hard work and a steep learning curve at first but now it's got into gear and I could virtually leave it alone to keep increasing month on month.

The Internet is a fantastic source of information - it's up to you to find that information and decide whether it's worth using or just more 'pie in the sky'.

Working from home is becoming a trend, so don't sit back and wish things would get better for you financially. You are just a click away from making your dreams a reality. 


Happy Holidays
