And, 2 Years Later!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I always tell people that I am ditsy, but this even surprised me! I totally forgot about this blog! Needless to say I have tons of updates, but first I want to comment on my first post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The Cash Flow Path&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Sometimes this is also under: 24 Hour Cash Flow, or some similar title. &lt;strong&gt;LET THE BUYER BEWARE! &lt;/strong&gt;Yes, this is a scam--please learn from my mistakes. You may earn a little, but not near as much as what you put in to this. I lost thousands of dollars on this venture!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Veretekk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;This is a great program if you already have a site and want to generate traffic, however there is a huge learning curve, and there is a much simpler and more stable way to build a web site that is fun and that works. (Keep reading for more info.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Mannatech&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;This was another huge disappointment - I actually made money on this a few years ago, but I became uneasy about the medical claims made. The success I felt I had with the glyconutrients did not work in the long haul. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;So, What Did I Do for These 2 Years?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I discovered&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.sitesell.com/Linda28802.html"&gt;Sitesell&lt;/a&gt; -- &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;now this one really works। This is not a get-rich-quick scheme--it takes time and effort, but it does work. Even more than that, there is a great deal of satisfaction in your accomplishments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Check out my site,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://devotional-reflections-from-the-bible.com/"&gt;Devotional Reflections from the Bible&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I was able to build a site doing something about which I truly have a passion, and voila, it works! I also have a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://dailybibledevotions.blogspot.com/"&gt;companion blog&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;that goes right along with this site called, Daily Bible Devotions. I have written hundreds of devotions on that blog alone, and am currently going through a Through-the-Bible-in-a-Year program, going through the Bible chronologically. Each day I write my devotion from the Bible reading for that day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;When it is complete, I will turn this into an eBook, and offer it for sale on my site. I have several eBooks in mind--that is the next step I will be taking to monetize my devotional web site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I am also a piano teacher, so I am working my site (and blogs) part-time। I tell everyone that my Sitesell site is for my retirement; they all laugh, but he who laughs last, laughs best.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Along with my site, I have a link to my affiliate&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.family-moment.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi/lc551825/"&gt;Christian book store&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(another way to monetize); there are tons of subtle ways to build a great site and to bring in residual income।&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Here's the best to you। Hope this helps in your own search for a satisfying internet business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Keep watching for updates--I won't wait for 2 years for my next post!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Linda &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26337977-8919662389145374365?l=pybyc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pybyc.blogspot.com/feeds/8919662389145374365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26337977&amp;postID=8919662389145374365&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26337977/posts/default/8919662389145374365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26337977/posts/default/8919662389145374365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pybyc.blogspot.com/2008/04/and-2-years-later.html' title='. . .

I'm going to use a diary format to chat (hopefully not ramble on) about my business experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;I've wanted to own my own business for a long time. Actually, I've had several, which for one reason or another ceased to be (I hate to use the term "failed." It's too depressing).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;I find myself to be in my mid 50's - looking forward to retirement - which appears to be coming much sooner than I expected! I've been in manufacturing for several years, and my body finally said, "That's it! Find something else." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;I kind of stumbled onto an affiliate type program in February of this year. It's really not too bad. You can see my main site: &lt;a href="http://thecashflowpath.com"&gt;http://thecashflowpath.com&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;The Cash Flow Path has taught me a lot. I like the idea of having affiliate programs. After all, people can shop from my website and I get a percentage of the sale. No handling of money, boxing up purchases, running to the post office - I'll leave that to someone else. This affiliate program is handled by Traffic Designs. They've been very nice to work with, and they handle all of the web site design work, and all of the sales calls that people make in reference to: 24 Hour Cash Flow - which just means someone is duplicating what I did - and I let the experts handle it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;It's easy to get started - no muss, no fuss. The program itself is very reasonable (low {very low} three figures. The only downside is paying them for advertising. But, you know how it is, every negative brings a positive.&lt;/span&gt; I don't recommend buying advertising from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;In my web surfing, I discovered a wonderful site called Veretekk. Wow! Success at last. If you need leads (free), need to learn how to market on the net, want to learn the mysteries of html, and want to learn how to get to the 1st page of Google, - Veretekk is your site. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;Best of all, you get to try it out for free. Check my site:&lt;a href="http://croftent.veretekk.com"&gt;http://croftent.veretekk.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;I've had plenty of people say I'd never make it, the competition on the net is too fierce, and so on and so forth (I know you've probably heard plenty of that yourself). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;Well, guess what? &lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They're wrong&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. You can now write your own internet marketing success story! If I told you all they offer, you wouldn't believe me - so it's just best if you try it out yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;I am so excited about our business, that we are already &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;expanding&lt;/span&gt;! Not bad after just 2 months. &lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I just built my own website&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; called &lt;a href="http://croftenterprises.net"&gt;http://croftenterprises.net&lt;/a&gt;. You've got to check it out. It briefly outlines our 3 current businesses (with pictures of my husband and I, and 2 of our cats. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;Oh, by the way, our 3rd business is found at: &lt;a href="http://mannapages.com/lindacroft"&gt;http://mannapages.com/lindacroft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;I do this, because I use the products. &lt;em&gt;Pain&lt;/em&gt; is already a familiar experience with me as I have fibromyalgia and arthritis. I started using glyconutrients about 3 years ago, and have never been sorry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;I had so much fun building my Croft Enterprises site, that I am now starting on Croft World Mall. I'll let you know when it's published. This is my husband and my baby - he'll get the affiliates and I'll get everything set up on our web site. I just can't say enough about how easy it is to have an affiliate program. This one will be the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;World's Biggest Mall&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your eyes open. No more jumping from one site to another, using your favorite search engine - it'll all be here on one easy website. Make it your homepage, and all of your shopping needs will be right there before your eyes. And, I'm always open to new affiliates, so if you don't find your favorite store there, let me know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, enough rambling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tune in again for my updates, and watch me GROW!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd love to help you succeed to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to this newsletter for free and we'll work together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda Croft&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS By the Way, my head is no longer spinning - next time we'll focus on the most essential site of all: Veretekk.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26337977-114531470210583861?l=pybyc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pybyc.blogspot.com/feeds/114531470210583861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26337977&amp;postID=114531470210583861&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26337977/posts/default/114531470210583861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26337977/posts/default/114531470210583861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pybyc.blogspot.com/2006/04/help-my-heads-spinning-april-17-2006_17.html' title='Help, My Head&apos;s Spinning - April 17, 2006'/><author><name>Linda Croft</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01087089594882649394</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6277/2756/320/Linda.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
