iTunes "Unknown Error (4000) Quick Fix!

2008-11-26T05:14:00.004-07:00

For all you happy Windows XP users like myself, Apple has created another little glitch with the iTunes Program for us. Many people are having trouble burning playlist to CD and getting an "Unknown Error (4000)" box that pops up after you wasted a perfectly good CD, very irritating! Here is the fix. On the new version of iTunes when you insert a new CD a box will appear with burn speed, audio CD etc... Make sure that the "Include CD Text" box is not checked. If you have an older version of iTunes click Edit, click Preferences, click Advanced, click Burn, and remove the check mark from the "Include CD Text" Box. I've burned at all speeds and this solved the problem across the board! If for any reason this didn't work go to the Control Panel, click Add/Remove programs scroll down to iTunes and click on it, then click on the "Click here for Support Information" click the "Repair" button, restart your computer and repeat the steps above. Bottom line; just make sure the “Include CD Text" box is not checked! Happy Burning!

EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY!

2007-12-13T08:42:00.000-07:00

I Decided I'd Write an eBook at 50!

By no means am I considered a "Computer Guru"!
So when I decided to write an eBook about
Affiliate Marketing & Computer Skills
Everyone thought the Cheese had Slid off the Cracker!
I started Blogging and realized that people where actually
Reading what I was writing, that was a pretty good feeling!
So I started to keep a Journal with every Mistake I made
to Tips, Shortcuts, and Eventually Making some Money!
I decided to turn these Trials & Tribulations into an eBook.
So I took the plunge and spent months putting it together.
On the way I Learned More & More and the eBook Grew.
I made the Video Tutorials, Built the Website,
and kept on Blogging, and things worked out!
I found some Amazing Secrets and Hard Facts that
have proven to be successful!
Now Everyone has agreed that maybe it wasn't such
a bad "Idea" and want to know more?
There are a lot of Get Rich Quick scams out there!
And much deserved skepticism about getting Ripped-Off.
That's why I wrote an Educational eBook, so You can make
the Right Decisions, Avoid the Mistakes, and get
Up to Speed in a Few Short Weeks.
If You would like a Free Example of the eBook
I have put together a 5 Part eCourse for You.
It starts off with the Basic Skills needed and
builds up to using more Advanced Techniques

If you know someone that might benefit from
these Free Lessons I created a Tell A Friend
link so you can share the Free Info!

All The Best!

Uncle Sam & The Internet

2007-05-27T07:45:00.000-06:00

I just read an interesting article by Jim Edwards!
It has a good message, Tell The Truth!

"In a recent move that rocked the online world and left many
Internet marketers shaking in their boots, the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) initiated a sweeping crackdown on
what they termed "Internet Scammers" and "Deceptive
Spammers."

The FTC, along with state and federal officials, filed 45
criminal and civil law enforcement actions and froze the
corporate and personal assets of some defendants.

According to the FTC, they went after a wide array of
deceptive schemes and illegal scams including auction
fraud, illegal sale of controlled substances, bogus
business opportunities, deceptive money-making scams,
illegal advance-fee credit card offers, and identity theft.

In other words, Uncle Sam gave notice that people can no
longer treat the Internet like the Wild, Wild West!"

What are Keywords?

2007-05-16T06:33:00.000-06:00

You have probably heard the term “Keywords” but what actually does it actually mean. I will give you a basic definition of them, and what they do. But I am not going to waste my time or yours going into great depths on how to use them. There are hundreds of books, theories, eCourses, and eBooks out there all with the “Magic Silver Bullet” I have read many of them and I can tell you there are about three people out there that are the absolute Gurus.

You, as a website author or Blogger, are responsible for providing the “key words” to help categorize your web page in the database of search engines. By choosing Keywords that are relevant to your sites content it will enable it to be found. This is where Adwords and running a successful Adwords Campaign come in.

Here is a Free Special Report that you can read by the Author of Google Cash, a well proven system with a great track record! For years trying to choose, test, and pay for a profitable Adwords Campaign was really complicated and costly, now with the new technology it has taken all the guess work out of it. CLICK HERE for the Free Report

Do You Use Keywords?

2007-05-15T11:13:00.000-06:00

Do you use Keywords to drive Traffic to your site?

Do you have an Adwords Campaign?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, or would like to find out more you have to check out this new product, Google Cash Detective. I was able to get a sneak preview and was blown away with the features this program has to offer! It is available today, May 15th, and will change the way an Adwords Campaign is run. You have to see it for yourself to believe it! I usually don't endorse anything, but this one is worth my reputation, Check It Out!

New Version of Google Analytics

2007-05-14T08:53:00.000-06:00

Analytics

To set up Google Analytics is a breeze, just go to: http://www.google.com/analytics/ Login with your Google Account User name and Password that you used to create your Blog and follow the on screen directions. You will have to copy and paste a code into your Blog template and enter the URL of the site you want to view:

www.yoursite.blogspot.com and you are good to go.

The new look is really cool, but will take a little getting use to if you have been using the previous version. To the right is an example of what the new screen shot looks like.

It may take a day or so for it to kick in. Once it does you will be amazed on how many and hits your site is getting and where they are coming from. There are so many features on this site it is hard to imagine it is Free! When you login into your Blogger account and click your Dashboard. Click My Account, after that opens you will see My Services, which is where Google Analytics will be. By clicking on GA a Window will open and ask you if you would like to View Reports click that and you are on your way.

Mothers Day

2007-05-12T08:38:00.000-06:00

A great internet tip is Skype they are offering FREE calls from your computer to any phone in the world on Mothers Day! A few restrictions apply but it is really easy and all you need is a microphone, headphones, or a headset. Just follow the on screen directions from the link above and you are good to go! If you want to take full advantages of all the great features they have to offer visit SkypeOut for a full list of services. With deals like these you really have no reason not to call your Mom.

Auto Responders

2007-05-11T10:40:00.000-06:00

Auto Responders

Another great tool is the Auto Responder! If you have a Blog you can set up a RSS Feed Broadcaster Subscription Form on your page. It will allow people to subscribe to your Blog and receive your next post right to there Inbox. I have used several different systems, but I am the most satisfied with Aweber, Here is a link to them, Aweber. The following link is to a video tutorial of how easy it is to place an RSS Feed Broadcaster on your Blog.

http://www.aweber.com/news/convert_rss_to_email_newsletters_automatically_1254.htm

Why do you want subscribers to your Blog? First of all it makes it easier for them to receive the information and products you are promoting. By checking there email they have a beautiful template of you last post waiting in ther Inbox. This saves the step of having open there browser and find your Blog again.

I am a big believer in "letting the software do the work for you." Whatever I can do to automate things is first on my list. Don't have your day taken up by daily chores -- let the software do it for you!

I say this because the key issue here is that you want to spend your time doing the important stuff such as marketing, promoting, testing ads, etc. These things will make you money and grow your business! Once again it’s about saving time!

Don't take this lightly, think about it. What makes your business grow? Taking care of tedious daily tasks like responding to emails, importing information into your database, and creating reports. The advantage of an Auto Responder is it can do all this for you. By creating an email follow up series just once the Auto responder will send them for you. It automatically enters all the information into a database and creates the reports for you!

This creates more time for you to promote your business, generate sales and growth, as well as to earn more money? Play around with it on your “Free Test Drive” and learn the system. It has far reaching possibilities and will open doors to a new realm of possibilities. Having a valid email list can be a very valuable commodity as well!
