Now Networking Outside of the House.

Went to the Home Based Business Association tonight at the Coast Westerly. It was very informative and everyone was very friendly. Will join for sure. I got a very pretty Rose.  The door prizes are awesome.
If anyone has a home business you can go to  2 meetings and then decide to join or not. It is on the first Thursday of the month at the Coast Westerly from 6pm --9pm. Coffee served.

What I learned tonight is give to the United Way. The money stays in our community helping the people of our community. They take your postal code to be sure the money stays in the community.
  Next is the Women's Business Network next week.

Alittle bit about Facebook Advertising
I don't know if my competition is clicking through on my ads but I do seem to get alot of clicks but nothing else.  No emails about inquiries.  I am using a coupon that I got from somewhere so it is not auctually costing me anything.  But it seems something funny might be happening.  Hmmmmm.........

Business and Computers

No one tells you that when you start up a business that you need a couple of weeks just to start up all those computer sites that is needed for you to network.

So I start up my new business. Perfect. I am so happy.
After all those months of studying.  All that time dreading the final exam. I am finally homefree.

Then people tell me I have got to start networking on the computer as well as face to face.
So I start on the computer.

Facebook was easy. Did that pretty fast.

I opened a web site, then came a blog, then twitter and I needed to buy domains.  I bought way too many domains but it was fun shopping for names and heck they were so cheap.

So next I was reading about adsense.  I need that for my blog and website, I tell myself.  Off to the adsense website I go. Get all signed up and everything is great.

Oh oh, something popped up about adwords. Get your message out there. I have a coupon for adwords-- I should use it I thought.  Adwords were alittle harder to start up, but yes I got it done.

It is a huge mistake to read stuff on google.  Cause linkedin.com showed up. If you want to be somebody then you got to sign up and fill out your profile.  There goes another couple of hours of my life.

Sending out emails I noticed I needed a signature.  So went to read how to get a signature done and did it.  Although with gmail that function doesn't work great when you want to reply or forward something but yet, I figured out how to get this done and work around that problem.

Got professional pictures done a alittle while ago.  I needed to send a picture out for my business cards.  Got a reply back that the resolution was not high enough. Spent a few hours trying to get the resolution up to 300 dpi without distorting the picture, cause I had to also make the picture smaller.  Paint the program just won't cut it. I had to down load another program and learn how to work it. Photoscape worked pretty good, but I wish their measurments were in inches.

I still need to work on my professional website and I did sign up for a course cause I thought I would be a little bored. Thank goodness I have 4 months to do it, I may need it if I find anymore web sites to join.

Now on to joining all the network clubs I should belong to.

Interesting fact about home mortgage interest

Home mortgage interest has never been tax-deductible in Canada.
Interestingly, even without any tax advantage for home ownership, the Canadian homeownership rate (69 percent) is actually higher than in the U.S. (67.2 percent).

It's the weekend

It's the weekend and your downtime from work.  You are driving past some "open houses" and you think to yourself -- can I afford to buy a house? 
Wonder no more.  Give me a call or email me.
I work weekends as well as evenings.
