      <title>Giggle of the Day: We Gon Find You!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This world we live in is pretty messed up sometimes.  All over the world crazy things are happening to innocent people.  Like this next story: Fortunately no one was killed, and on the positive side, the footage has become an internet sensation and fueled several other outrageously funny internet meme's.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;object height="525" width="660"&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EzNhaLUT520?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;
&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;
&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;
&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EzNhaLUT520?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" height="525" width="660"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course the world is also full of endlessly creative people who can often spin $#*! into Gold, or hopefully for Antoine, Platinum.  Check out the song made from the footage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;object height="405" width="660"&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKsVSBhSwJg?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;
&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;
&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;
&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKsVSBhSwJg?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" height="405" width="660"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't know about you, but I'm impressed!  I think this song is going to be stuck in my head for days.  This is what Antoine says about his new found fame.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;object height="525" width="660"&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-hdC16-cTQ0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;
&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;
&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;
&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-hdC16-cTQ0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" height="525" width="660"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Well It&amp;rsquo;s been a while since I&amp;rsquo;ve sat down and shared anything on my various blogs. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;rsquo;m embarrassed to admit it, but there&amp;rsquo;s a few cob webs around here and the place could use a good dusting.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>It's The Dad Life....</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This made my day! &amp;nbsp;Thanks to Clint Miller for passing it along.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="reblogging_tag"&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1816638/it-s-the-dad-life-"&gt;Clint Miller (Real Estate Client Referrals, LLC (RECR))&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1250148/things-i-learned-from-having-boys-" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I love being a dad!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quite frankly, there is &lt;strong&gt;nothing more soothing&lt;/strong&gt; than one of my kids cuddling on my lap or giving me a hug; nothing more &lt;strong&gt;exciting&lt;/strong&gt; than seeing them do something for the first time...or the 100th; nothing that makes me feel more &lt;strong&gt;loved&lt;/strong&gt; than their willingness to share their experiences with me at the top of their lungs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is the greatest thing ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And this is my anthem...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>TVPG Wordy C Marketing Recap</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A while back, my co-host on The Get More Business Show posted this recap of a show we did. &amp;nbsp;She really did a great job! &amp;nbsp;Check it out!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="reblogging_tag"&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1714791/tvpg-wordy-c-marketing-recap"&gt;C Tann-Starr (CarolynTannStarr.com   TannStarr.net  REMAX People Realty)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was fun. The wee people were a trip dragging and dropping files with me. Seems they like the visual time line even if they can't read (LOL). Will it be useful? Hmm... Maybe... I have five more of these to do so lets see if I improve as we go along.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Someone asked me to do a stick figure animation for a non-profit. My kids are going to love our next multimedia project. They can hang with squiggly lines and stick figures. Come to think of it &lt;em&gt;so can I &lt;/em&gt;(LOL). ;-)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Several weeks back, our guest, Avy Punwasee from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pricingsolutions.com/" title="Pricing Solutions" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;PricingSolutions.com&lt;/a&gt; was on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/" title="TVPG Radio's Get More Business Show" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;TVPG Radio's Get More Business Show&lt;/a&gt;. Avy was an excellent guest and shared a lot of in-depth information about pricing and how to establish prices for your business' products and/or services. One of the point that Avy made was that price communicates value.  Markets are constantly changing.  Are your value offerings and pricing constantly adjusting to meet the market?  The last thing you want is for your clients to draw a negative conclusion from you refusing to adjust to your surroundings. &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/9nrA3X" title="Pricing: How To Establish The Value of Your Business' Products and Services" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Listen to The Get More Business Show for more great pricing advice from Avy Punwasee&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Don't Be Held Hostage - Learn And Grow From Your Experience</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a great post by Lisa Udy. &amp;nbsp;I've been following this formula for quite some time, which is why you notice that i give an intro to my blog posts and the posts of my team mates, and then give a link to go over to self hosted site to read the entire blog post if people are interested enough in the information to do that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact this is now part of a group of services that I offer, so if you're looking to start your own self hosted blog on a wordpress format, I can help with that. &amp;nbsp;I also have the experience and tools at my disposal to make sure that your posts on your outside wordpress blog get just as much Google Juice as your Active Rain blog posts. &amp;nbsp;It's not too hard, and it's pretty affordable. &amp;nbsp;Feel free to contact me if you need my help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="reblogging_tag"&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1631213/don-t-be-held-hostage-learn-and-grow-from-your-experience"&gt;Lisa Udy Realtor  Utah Real Estate Specialist (Logan Utah Real Estate The Platinum Real Estate Group)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Activerain went through a dreadful experience over the last couple of months. Everyone knows about the proxy errors, bad gateways,&amp;nbsp;inability&amp;nbsp;to post comments, and more time spent worrying about losing content and clients than worrying about your own business. Don't be held hostage again. It's time to learn and grow from this experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;img title="Onlnie Marketing" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/5/3/4/4/ar127309846944358.jpg" height="200" alt="Onlnie Marketing" style="float: right; margin-top: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 22px; margin-right: 22px; border: 1px solid black;" width="213"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn and Grow&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I first learned how to blog and how to tie SEO into my daily life from Activerain. I bet there are over 180,000 people that have done the same thing. It was amazing the stuff I learned from Activerain, but I wanted more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I learned very quickly from the top bloggers here on A|R, if I wanted to truly be effective, I needed to branch out. Activerain held my hand for the first 5 months, but once I learned I needed to do more, I broke free of the points, the awesome number of comments, and took my butt over to the other side.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Activerain is awesome but you can do more, and should if you expect to be a top player in the online real estate world. If I can do it, so can you. What do I mean by not being held hostage? I mean once you learn how to do something, do it, and do it anywhere you can. Activerain is full of posts that will teach you &lt;a href="http://ithemes.com/tutorials/" title="How To Setup A Self Hosted Wordpress Blog" target="_blank"&gt;how to setup a self hosted Wordpress&amp;nbsp;blog&lt;/a&gt;. Google is filled with information if you look for it. Learn how to setup a blog on your own, it took me a couple hours, it's really not that hard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But Activerain has so much Google juice!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then use it. Setup your own blog, and start posting content. Then come over to Acitverain, write a summary of that content, and throw a link to your own blog. Take Activerain's juice and squeeze it into your own blog. Go through your old posts and edit them, add a link to your new blog, and&amp;nbsp;viola&amp;nbsp;Google juice in your new blog. &amp;nbsp;Fix your profile with a couple links to your new blog and look at that, more juice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next go to your current website, and throw a couple links over to your new blog. Bam more Google juice. Next, write a couple articles, submit them to some &lt;a href="http://www.fridaytrafficreport.com/top-21-the-best-article-directory-list/" title="Top 21 Article Directories" target="_blank"&gt;article directories&lt;/a&gt;, and throw a couple of links to your new blog. Then, check out this list of &lt;a href="http://www.ericbramlett.com/do-follow-real-estate-blogs/" title="Do-Follow List Of Real Estate Blogs" target="_blank"&gt;do follow real estate blogs&lt;/a&gt;, and add some comments with a link back to your website. More Google juice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;img title="Learn And Grow " src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/4/3/6/7/ar127309855176345.jpg" height="200" alt="Learn And Grow " style="float: left; margin-top: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 22px; margin-right: 22px; border: 1px solid black;" width="247"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'm Not Leaving Activerain!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why would you??? You don't have to give up Activerain, in fact, you should use it more to drive traffic and links to your new blog. By setting up your own blog, you will have more chances to be found by consumers, another platform to generate links for your website/s, and you won't have to worry about what someone else is going to do to your content.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You just never know what will happen on a third party site. Don't get me wrong, third party sites are useful, but you can't rely on them for your business. Rely on yourself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I barely have time as it is...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hogwash. How important is your business to you? I bet it's second to only your family. Your family depends on your business, so really, it's just as important to you as your family. Putting all of your effort into one basket is going to bite you in more ways then one. If you truly want to be a successful online marketer, you have to be better then everyone else in your niche. In order to be better, you have to do more. Find the time, hire an assistant, or just learn how to time block better.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Field Trip!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want you to see what some of the best are doing and&amp;nbsp;emulate&amp;nbsp;them. Check out these links and tell me what you see:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="World Famous" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/7/2/6/8/ar127309870586271.jpg" height="200" alt="World Famous" style="vertical-align: text-bottom; float: right; margin-top: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 22px; margin-right: 22px;" width="200"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Lenn+Harley&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=g-sx4&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Lenn Harley" target="_blank"&gt;Lenn Harley&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- 1-10 of 663,000 results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#1 in Google for &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Maryland+Virginia+Real+Estate&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Maryland Virginia Real Estate" target="_blank"&gt;Maryland Virginia Real Estate&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;out of 44 million!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;q=Bill+Gassett" title="Bill Gassett" target="_blank"&gt;Bill Gassett&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- 1-10 of 27,700 results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#1 in Google for &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Real+Estate+In+Metrowest+MA&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Metrowest MA Real Estate" target="_blank"&gt;Metrowest MA Real Estate&lt;/a&gt; out of 425,000!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Jason+Crouch&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Jason Crouch" target="_blank"&gt;Jason Crouch&lt;/a&gt; - 1-10 of 627,000 results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#3 for &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Austin+Tx+Homes&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Austin TX Homes " target="_blank"&gt;Austin TX Homes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;And #4 for &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Austin+Tx+real+estate&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Austin TX Real Estate" target="_blank"&gt;Austin TX Real Estate&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;out of 88 million results!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you emulate them?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First off, you need to realize these guys and gals have been doing this for many many years. But they had to start somewhere. Now that you started with Activerain, it's time for you to put the knowledge you have learned to good use. Start building your own Google juice using the power Activerain has, but don't stop there. After you build your new blog, I want you to use these tools to build your own juice, and soon you will start climbing the search engine ladder on your own.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;img title="Get Blogging!" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/6/5/7/7/ar127309906977562.jpg" height="200" alt="Get Blogging!" style="margin-top: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 22px; margin-right: 22px; float: left;" width="200"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Tools to market your new blog:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go to that link above with the do-follow blog list. Start commenting on those blogs and develop a relationship with the bloggers. Start asking them if you can add a guest post to their blogs with a link back to yours. Ask your friends here on Activerain if you can guest post on their blogs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Submit at least one article a month to those article directories. If you don't know how to submit articles, follow the link above, and it tells you how. It's just as easy as submitting a blog post.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Update your Facebook with your new posts from your blog. Tell your friends to share it, and watch your traffic grow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Write a unique summary here on Activerain with links to the posts to your new blog. Update older posts with links for more information from Activerain. Add a link to your new blog in your "links section" on the right side of your blog. &amp;nbsp;Add a couple of links to your profile page to your new blog.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Submit your best posts to social bookmarking sites like &lt;a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/" title="Stumbleupon" target="_blank"&gt;Stumble Upon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://delicious.com/" title="Social Bookmarking" target="_blank"&gt;Delicious&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://digg.com/" title="Digg" target="_blank"&gt;Digg&lt;/a&gt;, and Tweet your new posts to your twitter followers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of this is&amp;nbsp;dependent&amp;nbsp;on you. It's really not that hard to start ranking for long tail keywords on your own. With the power you push to your new blog through Activerain, article submissions, blog comments, and social bookmarking. You will find you are ranking your posts on your own in no time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don't be held hostage again, learn and grow from this experience, and move on to the next level of internet marketing. I know I have, and it's worked like a charm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Lisa+Udy&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Lisa Udy" target="_blank"&gt;Lisa Udy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- 1-10 of 441,000 results. #3 for &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Logan+Utah+real+estate&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=" title="Logan Utah real estate" target="_blank"&gt;Logan Utah real estate&lt;/a&gt; out of 176,000 and moving!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As posted by Sheila O'Mara on TVPG Radio:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;A few weeks ago on the TVPG, Get More Business, Radio show we  discussed specification vs. diversification.&amp;nbsp; Points were made in favor  of both and you can listen to the &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/get-more-business/2010/03/10/social-media-and-your-business-are-you-content-wit" title="TVPG RADIO SHOW"&gt;podcast&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;I have always been a big believer in diversification.&amp;nbsp; There are so  many&amp;nbsp;possibilities out there &amp;ndash; why limit yourself to one?&amp;nbsp; I will be the  first one to admit that it is important to do what you do well before  you move on to something else.&amp;nbsp; No one wants to be a jack of all trades  and a master of none.&amp;nbsp; Having said that though, there is so much to be  said for expanding into new horizons. &lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/04/19/tvpg-radio-show-diversification-the-speakers-with-spark-way/" title="TVPG Radio Show: Diversification the Speakers With Spark Way" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On TVPG Radio]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;I got into an interesting discussion with my co-host, Josh Chandler, on a &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/get-more-business/2010/04/07/getting-published-writing-to-expand-your-reach-rep" title="Getting Published: Writing To Expand Your Reach, Reputation, and Audience" target="_blank"&gt;recent radio show&lt;/a&gt;. The discussion started with another host, Jason Sanders, asked me a rather innocent question &amp;mdash; how important is writing to a business?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a former writer, newspaper editor and public relations specialist, nearly all of my post-college experience has dealt with the written word. I know how important writing an be for a business, whether it&amp;rsquo;s a press release, an advertisement or instructions on how to use or assemble a new product. &lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/04/13/bus-comm-r-u-ok/" title="Bus. comm: r u ok?" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On TVPG Radio]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Josh Chandler Leaves TVPG Radio's Get More Business Show</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;As posted by Josh Chandler on TVPG Radio:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Josh Chandler - Tech Talk BOOM!" src="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/files/2010/01/joshchandler3.jpg" height="247" alt="Josh Chandler" width="685"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jason Sanders of The Value Pages Group announced on the &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/get-more-business/2010/04/07/getting-published-writing-to-expand-your-reach-reputation-and-audience" title="Getting Published: Writing To Expand Your Reach, Reputation, and  Audience" target="_blank"&gt;Wednesday 7th April show&lt;/a&gt; that I was leaving. It was  a tough decision to make.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show only started back in February and I think that Jason has  developed a quality team of business owners who truly offer a unique and  insightful opinion to the discussion. The newest addition Carolyn Tann  Starr looks to continue that record.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, I guess you&amp;rsquo;ll be wondering what exactly caused me to leave the  show. &lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/04/10/the-end-of-get-more-business-for-me/" title="The End of Get More Business for Josh Chandler" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On TVPG Radio]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Motivational Music From Martin Sexton's: Black Sheep</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://ideabox.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/31/motivational-music-martin-sextons-black-sheep/" title="Permanent link to Motivational Music: Martin Sexton's Black Sheep"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ideabox.thevaluepagesgroup.com/files/2010/03/martinsexton.jpg" height="265" alt="Post image for Motivational Music: Martin Sexton's Black Sheep" width="685"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every Sunday I make a habit of listening to the &lt;a href="http://www.mountainstage.org/" title="Mountain Stage with Larry Groce" target="_blank"&gt;Mountain Stage&lt;/a&gt; program on my local public radio station &lt;a href="http://www.xpn.org/" title="88.5 XPN Philadelphia Public Radio" target="_blank"&gt;88.5 XPN&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I always end up becoming a fan of an artist that I had never heard of before.&amp;nbsp; This past week was a really great show.&amp;nbsp; I was blown away by &lt;a href="http://www.ruthiefoster.com/" title="Ruthie Foster's Official Website"&gt;Ruthie Foster&lt;/a&gt;. (Be careful, music is on autoplay and loud when you click the link.)&amp;nbsp;What an incredible voice and talent!&amp;nbsp; I love soulful singers.&amp;nbsp; This last Sunday's show was packed with them.&amp;nbsp; The other artist that&amp;nbsp;blew my mind&amp;nbsp;(You've got to listen to this Mountain Stage show!) was &lt;a href="http://www.martinsexton.com/index.html" title="Martin Sexton's Official Website"&gt;Martin Sexton&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This guy is awesome!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His song Black Sheep really moved me.&amp;nbsp; It reminded me of the struggle that we face as entrepreneurs, chasing our dreams, following our heart and not always getting the support that we would like.&amp;nbsp; Martin really sang to me on this one, so I wanted to share it.&amp;nbsp; The video isn't crystal clear, but the audio is the clearest out of the performances that I could find on YouTube.&amp;nbsp; Let me know what you think of this song.&amp;nbsp; I've posted the words below the video.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://http//itunes.apple.com/us/artist/martin-sexton/id154590" title="Martin Sexton on iTunes"&gt;You can buy Martin Sexton's music on iTunes by clicking here.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://ideabox.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/31/motivational-music-martin-sextons-black-sheep/" title="Motivational Music: Martin Sexton&amp;amp;rsquo;s Black Sheep" target="_blank"&gt;[Click Here To Watch The Video And Read The Lyrics On IdeaBox]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How Twitter Is Like FarmVille</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://ideabox.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/26/twitter-can-be-the-opposite-of-farmville/" title="Permanent link to Twitter Can Be The Opposite of FarmVille"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ideabox.thevaluepagesgroup.com/files/2010/03/twitterfarmville.jpg" height="268" alt="Twitter Can Be The Opposite of FarmVille" width="685"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've got some friends who seem to be playing FarmVille way too much.&amp;nbsp; Their facebook wall is full of FarmVille announcements.&amp;nbsp; Their photo album full of Farmville screenshots.&amp;nbsp; Wayyyyy too much FarmVille.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;If you love farmville, feel free to skip this.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;We probably all have one or more &lt;a href="http://ideabox.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2009/12/29/are-you-qualified-to-handle-that-thing/" title="Are You Qualified To Handle That Thing?" target="_blank"&gt;friends who compromise their professional reputation to the lure that is FarmVille&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Sure, they may tell us it's their kids playing on their facebook account, but I'm not convinced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This phenomenon got me thinking about how real time information can change or enhance an established impression of an individual. &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/awDw4O%20" title="Twitter Can Be The Opposite Of FarmVille" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On IdeaBox]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I won't recount everything that he said (Feel free to listen for yourself by using the player that appears below.), but one thing really stood out to me after our conversation.&amp;nbsp; From a very early stage, Adam Horning was thinking of his small landscaping business, &lt;a href="http://horninglandscaping.com/" title="Horning Landscaping" target="_blank"&gt;Horning Landscaping&lt;/a&gt; as much bigger than it actually was. &lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/30/thinking-of-your-business-as-if-it-were-bigger/" title="Thinking Of Your Business As If It Were Bigger" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On TVPG Radio]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;Adam doesn't have a magic product and is very reasonable in his pricing - I would say on the reasonable end without a doubt.&amp;nbsp; He has built this company by recognizing some very simple ideas very early on and capitalizing on them.&amp;nbsp; Allow me to share ... &lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/25/tvpg-radio-show-the-success-of-a-landscape-artist/" title="The Success Of A Landscape Artist" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On TVPG Radio]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;We had an interesting guest on our radio show (&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/get-more-business"&gt;www.blogtalkradio.com/get-more-business&lt;/a&gt;) who gave us some insight into growing a business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;Ok, maybe I should choose&amp;nbsp;a word other than "grow" since our guest - Adam Horning - owns a lawn-car business. The reason I think Adam's story is inspiring not just because he has managed to grow (there's that word again!) a business in these troubled times, but he's managed to do all this in a rather crowded, you-can-do-it-yourself business. &lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/24/growing-a-lawn-care-business/" title="Growing A Lawn Care Business" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On TVPG Radio]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;This week on the TVPG, Get More Business, Radio Show, &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/get-more-business/2010/03/17/st-patricks-day-show-examining-luck-in-business-br" title="St Patrick's Day Show: Examining Luck in Business, Branding, and Business Obligations" target="_blank"&gt;we celebrated St. Patrick's Day&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; We tied most of the topics from the show to our theme of St. Patty's Day and I was on location at my local Networking for Women in the Heartland Luncheon at the Schmidt Coca-Cola Museum in Elizabethtown, KY.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;As you may or may not know, St. Patrick was at one time a slave.&amp;nbsp; We asked local business owners from Elizabethtown what, if anything, they felt they were a slave to in their business.&amp;nbsp; I know for me it could be a couple of things, but here is a run down of the female business owners that shared their perspective with TVPG, Get More Business, Radio Show. &lt;a href="http://radio.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/22/tvpg-radio-show-st-patrick%e2%80%99s-day-networking/" title="TVPG Radio Show: St. Patrick's Day Networking" target="_blank"&gt;[...Click Here To Read The Rest On TVPG Radio]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What sold me on the app though, was a description of it's social media integration features. &lt;a href="http://ideabox.thevaluepagesgroup.com/2010/03/22/iphone-app-review-momento-journaling-and-social-media-indexing/" title="iPhone App Review: Momento - Journaling And Social Media Indexing" target="_blank"&gt;[Click Here To Read The Rest On IdeaBox]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The face of &lt;a href="http://thevaluepagesgroup.com/" target="blank"&gt;business networking&lt;/a&gt; is changing.&amp;nbsp; There's so many more options today than there were even 5 years ago.&amp;nbsp; Businesses are facing the choice of dedicating their time and resources to traditional networking ideas or newer technology based solutions.&amp;nbsp; The answer to this question will vary from business to business based on the business itself and the characteristics of it's particular industry, the comfort level and skill set of the person in charge of networking, and the goals of the business.&lt;/p&gt;
