Thoughts on Real Estate Marketing…

Or rather, getting ready for them takes longer. Several months ago I was approached by a company that does home design and asked if I’d participate in a series of tele-seminar calls. He wanted me to talk about the contents of my book, The Land Buyers Guidebook. That sounded like fun, so I said yes. [...]

And that seems to be pretty normal. Marketing gurus are teaching people that the way to break into the business is to “Do a launch” and create a lot of hoopla over it by offering extremely attractive affiliate payments.

When attending conferences, there’s often a break between speakers when smokers rush outside for a quick puff before the next session. Different individuals choose [...]

Today’s the day to celebrate our Independence, and to send up thanks to all those brave souls who made it possible. Perhaps a bit of thanks to a higher power would be in order as well. I wish you a perfect day – Marte

Reading computer related instructions always frustrates me, because I’m not techie enough to know what the words mean.
