Twitter Gravy Train – Are You On It?
It’s no secret that Twitter is growing by leaps and bounds each day. In fact Twitter is currently doubling in size every 90 days! With that kind of growth Twitter is estimated to have over 50,000,000 users by Christmas 2009. Just turn on the TV, read the newspaper, or listen to the radio and all you hear about is “Follow me on Twitter” from all of the announcers. There is no way this is not a coincidence.
This growth of Twitter is just the VERY beginning of the Twitter wave ladies and gentlemen. There are a ton of different ways you can use this cool and simple little application.
I have been on Twitter for several months now (you can follow me here www.twitter.com/stirls) and I love it. I happen to like the fact that it’s:
a) FREE traffic to my blog and other landing pages
b) Very effective at list building
c) Very effective at driving FREE traffic to my blog or websites that I earn commissions from
In this crazy economical recession we find ourselves in, people are turning in droves to the internet to find an alternative to the once coveted “job security”. Most people are recognizing that the only security they have is themselves.
So, if you are not on Twitter yet, don’t miss this opportunity, take action. Let me teach you all that I know about Twitter in 14 simple to follow Twitter Tutorial Videos.

Exit Splash Installed With Ease
Well, after seeing more and more websites that I follow using the Exit Splash script created by Dave Guindon I decided today was the day to install the script on my websites.
I have to admit I purchased the script from fellow Canadian Dave Guindon back on April 22 2009 and put it on my list of things to do thinking that I needed a lot of time to learn the complicated script and how to install it.
The reality is that it took me longer to watch the awesome training videos Dave includes with the script than it did for me to actually install the script on all my websites. The videos were in total just under a hour in length. Once I watched the videos I was able to install the code in under 2 minutes – it was that easy.
So what is Exit Splash?
Well it is a simple code that you install on your website that creates a warning message when people leave (or exit) your website. Here is a video from Dave explaining Exit Splash in more detail. (opens in a new window when you press “Play”)
Why Did I install Exit Splash?
Well if someone is leaving my website then they probably are not going to purchase anything from my site so this little piece of code lets me increase my chances of turning that non sale into a customer by offering to give them something for free as a “Thank You” for visiting my website.
At this point you are probably thinking that Exit Splash is just another one of those annoying pop ups, and you might be right except that this pop up does not pop up when you are trying to read my website, which is so annoying. This pop up happens when you leave my site. By the time you leave I have nothing to lose since you have already decided to leave making a purchase.
On top of the Exit Splash script Dave also gives you a code to create a Viral Twitter Box to put on your website and a suggestion box. These are both powerful tools on their own but when combined with the Exit Splash code it is easy to increase your website conversions and traffic.
My only issue with the Viral Twitter Box is that the dimensions of the box are not customizable to fit on different areas of your website or blog. I would like to see Dave include this option in future upgrades.
If you have a website and have anything to sell off your website get this code and don’t be like me and take 3 months to install it. I shudder to think of the income I have lost because of my delays Exit Splash is a must have.

Blogging Tips for Part Time Work at Home
Are you looking for part time work at home blogging? Blogging is an excellent choice for a motivated and self-disciplined individual that loves writing. Have you ever written a blog just for fun? Do you keep a livejournal account or a MySpace blog? Then blogging may be the best part time work at home opportunity for you.
When you decide to get started blogging, finding work may be hard if you’re new to the business. Plenty of forums and programs out there offer a proven system for you to follow. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel on this one.
When you look into making an investment in your time and money by finding a blogging training program look for the following things:
1. Training from an experienced leader in the field.
We’ve all heard the claims about people making tons of money with the system that they set up blogging. Do some research and find out which ones are respected leaders in the field. Writing forums are one of the best places to go to find out unbiased opinions. Many affiliate marketers set up websites recommending the best programs that they’ve tried.
2. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes.
This should be a major red flag. Just like any job or business, you’ll have to work for it.
3. Methods for writing Internet content.
Just the love of writing alone won’t get you far in blogging. You need to find a worthy program that can get you up-to-date on the lingo and methods used in Internet Marketing (IM). A good article alone won’t get you what you need. You need to know the best ways to use keywords and have a general understanding of SEO to keep your prospects or clients coming back for more.
4. Referrals to legitimate part time work blogging.
These are hard to find. Let the experts show you the way.

Blogging: Legitimate Work at Home Opportunity or Fluff?
Getting started in a legitimate work at home business is tough. There’s a lot to learn out there. No need to go through the endless trial and error because people like me can show you the ropes, and present the most legitimate work at home in an easy to find set up based on their own personal experience.
There are many different ways to try to start making money online, but just as many programs offer a lot of unfulfilled promises. I call this fluff. Have you ever looked at some of these get-rich-quick schemes that offer vague things like “thousands of dollars in days” or “instant money?” What do they really mean?
Many of these programs rely on people who are new to the business and have high hopes and dreams of making passive income. Don’t be fooled into thinking purchasing a program and filling in the blanks will bring you endless sums of money. It’s just not true. Just like any business in cyberspace, or brick and mortar operations, you have to invest time and money in learning the ropes.
I started out blogging. Most successful online companies are willing to get someone else to write their material for them. By writing blogs for other companies, you’ll learn the ropes of Web 2.0 properties and the best way to market yourself as an expert. When you decide to do your own blog about a product or service, find something you feel passionate about.
Blogging can present a series of informative articles or reviews. These first person accounts and experiences with certain products or services offer a trust factor that consumers are looking for.
Blogging is a legitimate work at home opportunity. Put your career on fast forward and find a program that already knows the ropes through proven modules and methods.
