DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

This is my 13th edition of my Tipsy Tuesday posts...that means that I have stuck with it for a quarter of a year!  I have done other blog posts of course, but I committed (in my own head anyway) to doing this tips and advice column / post for at least a year and I am a quarter of the way there!  Thank you all for reading and it would mean the world to me if you would sign up for my blog subscription via email.  You can simply click on the link at the bottom of this post...thanks for sticking with me, I so appreciate your time in reading and commenting on my Tipsy Tuesday posts.  I hope you enjoy this milestone post!

  • Tip #13 - Roadmap to Become a Blogger

    RoadmapThere is a great FREE ebook out there, put out by BecomeABlogger.com, it's fairly new...just this month I believe.  You can go here to download it for free.

    The report details 5 milestones that you must reach to become a successful blogger as well as 13 "X-FActor" strategies for successful blogging.

    I just finished reading it and I think it was worth my time for sure. It's well organized and well illustrated.  Do I think that all the info in it applies to real estate blogging?  No.  But I think that it's a great place to go get some ideas on blogging strategies and where you should be focusing your efforts.  It discusses multi-media blogging and social media as well, which I found particularly interesting.  I have printed the ebook out and put it into a 3 ring binder so that I can keep referring back to it.

    And yes, of course, some of these strategies could definitely be handled by your Real Estate Virtual Assistant to free up some time for you to get out there and sell real estate! 

 

  • Tipsy #13 - The Chocolate Candy Cane

    OK, by now I am sure you have realized that I am a chocolate lover, as well as an avid Starbuck's fan...this drink is the best of both worlds, with a holiday twist!  Mix one up tonight...skip desert...this is way better :-)

    Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and pour into a martini glass...garnish with a mini candy cane as a stirrer.

    • 1 shot Starbuck's Coffee liquor
    • 1 shot Starbuck's Creme liquor
    • 1/4 - 1/2 shot (to taste) Peppermint Schnaps
    • Mini Candy Canes

You changed your picture.  I was looking for you and passed up a blog because it didn't look like you, or what I thought you looked like...anyway, the reason I was looking for you was I found on another blog a link on how to make a shotglass out of ice.  I watched it and thought it was cool.  I will use this somehow sometime! http://www.howcast.com/videos/109087-How-To-Make-a-Shot-Glass-Out-Of-Ice go check it out and let me know what you think!

Evelyn - That's so cool, thanks for thinking of me!  That is one large shot glass, huh?  Very cool though!

About the hair, yeah, I hated looking of the old picture because it looked nothing like the way that I've looked for over a year now.  Soon I will get a professional picture done, that was just a temporary one that my Mac took :-)

To make it easier to find me the next time you are so kind as to seek me out, simply add me as an Associate, then you can always find me from your My Home page.  If you create a new category for Real Estate Virtual Assistants you will be able to find me even easier :-)  Thanks again for tracking me down and adding this comment!
