No Real Job Posts: Why Craigslist is Turning Into A Compost Heap
I am not one to dish out negative criticism. I usually find the best in everything. Recently, there is one arena of marketing that has not been delivering. That's Craigslist. Since the institution of phone verification for their accounts, Craigslist has actually gotten worse. Just two years ago I could hop on Craigslist, pound out an hour of cover letters and resumes and get 2-3 actual responses and 5-6 autoresponders. Today if I did the same thing (which I do) I get 0 responses back. Zero. That's markedly worse. Perhaps people have lost faith. Perhaps the jobs are too heavily sought after. Either way, Craigslist is becoming less of a productive business tool and more of "a bunch of tools. If you're looking for a way to earn some extra cash, consider getting a domain where you can post your resume and portfolio. Feature talents and services you can offer. If you don't know already, GDI offers both domains and an income opportunity. You can check it out at http://www.freedom.com/hijynx427.

New Project for Earn Thru Gdi
Earn Thru GDI is currently hard at work providing you more great tools to help you in your GDI campaign! Currently, I am hard at work writing an interactive document that will guide newcomers to network marketing on how exactly to get set up with GDI and how exactly I market the opportunity online. This will streamline the process for newcomers because it will provide step by step instructions on what marketing systems work, which don't, and how to utilize the free and low cost channels I've found for you so that they best compliment your business marketing. If you haven't seen the Members Only page of Earn Thru GDI, go ahead and peek! It is just a pre-cursor to what is REALLY provided on my hidden site that only members will be able to access and it has a taste of some programs that I've used that are working to boost my business.

Why Mobility Matters in Internet Marketing
Twenty years ago it would have taken 160 dump trucks to store the documents I have on my hard drive as paper files. Today, I have access to those files 24/7 with the push of a button and a few clicks to open MS Word. Why is it important for an Internet Marketer to have advanced mobility for their office and files? One word: demographics.
See, in business, the general rule for getting office space is the golden rule of real estate: location, location, location. Just because you love the place you live doesn't make it ideal for business. Population density may be too low or the people in your area just may not have the need for your product that people from out of town may. With a mobile office, you can literally bring your entire business with you on trips, vacations, or errand runs. Whenever an opportunity presents itself, the businessperson with a mobile office can more effectively address, file and/or utilize that opportunity to its fullest. For example: you get into a conversation with your waiter about your new opportunity and he's excited and eager to join. A typical businessperson will whip out a business card and refer him to a cell phone number or a web address. A mobile businessperson can capitalize on the time being spent with this prospect, launch a web browser, show off his or her site and potentially get a new subscriber right on the spot. Another scenario is mobile print marketing. If a mobile businessperson passes a new development, within minutes he or she can have dozens of flyers or brochures provided a laptop, a mobile printer and the software to create the marketing medium such as Print Shop or Photoshop.
All in all, mobility is the least integrated but most important advance that technology has afforded us. For the number of business-centered intranets available for cell phones on pre-provided software, how many companies actually use them? ALso, out of how many companies in the US there are, how many provide their employees with personal laptops to use for company business? Out of those, how many actually train their employees to be efficient with these powerful tools? It is a shame to slaughter the calf if you're not going to make veal.

What Do Aesthetics Have to Do With my Business
If you noticed, at http://www.jason-mueller.ws/hardware I have listed a couple of the toys I use to keep up with my business. One is an Alienware custom-built Aurora 7700 notebook and the other is a Touch Pro by HTC. How can these products serve more purpose than just looking pretty and performing quickly? Let me tell you.
Aesthetics are how something looks. My Alienware system for example is an eye-catcher. Lightup logo on the back, a futuristic design and a bright electric blue are sure to catch wanderers who haven't seen the likes of this system. In addition, it remarkably resembles the computer that Ben's sister uses in the children's cartoon series "Ben 10". This opens up all types of walk-up business. "What kind of computer is that?" or "how much did you pay for that thing!?" come up ALL the time. Little to say beyond this, I have at least one person come up to me and ask me about my computer whenever I use it in a public place.
Affiliate-based sales: set up a page where people can buy their own Alienware system or HTC product through Clickbank and watch your influence begin spreading. Granted, you may not be the coolest person on the block, but, if your STUFF is, then you aught to be able to earn for having referred others to the companies who so appreciate their business. I am still in the process of getting accepted by Alienware to put their products up on my site. HTC is going to prove more difficult than even Alienware.
Either way, these are few reasons why the color, shape and interface of your work-whereever station is important to attracting like-minded folks, or just the curious passerby!

YouTube - Leading to True Residuals
If you market then you know the importance of a well recorded, planned and executed video. I have found that YouTube is a great vessel to post your videos because it induces true residual results. For example, when I check my views before bed I always find a few more in the morning. Nothing beats advertising in your sleep! Now here I am today and folks from all over are contacting me regarding the opportunities I provide to earn some extra part-time cash. On a 24/7 schedule, my marketing videos are raising people's awareness about GDI itself: not just the income opportunity it yeilds. Other video marketing that reaches the number of people YouTube reaches could cost a fortune. TV advertisements, video trailers on movies and otherwise all cost astronomical amounts of money but YouTube is totally free. If you haven't checked out my channel yet, visit me and drop me a comment or rate my videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/hijynx427.

5,000 Free Leads a Month, Twitter and What's New on EarnThruGDI
A few weeks ago I provided a link for a site offering 5,000 free leads on a monthly basis. If you didn't get the chance to check it out, click the headline of my last post. Now that I've had a chance to email market those leads, I can provide you an honest review of the services.
I sent an email with my opt-in for my newsletter to over 3,000 of the 5,000 monthly leads. While I hadn't gotten a response for a few days, I waited it out and eventually got a few replies. No hate mail: just questions about the opportunity. Granted, the response was from a fraction of a percent of those emailed, but, for a free list, I'm not complaining. Also, there's a network/ affiliate opportunity to earn more leads from the site for referring just 10 people. So, I gave it a shot.
Right now I have 6 people who took me up on this site, so I'm close to doubling the number of free monthly leads I get. Yay! So, if you could use a powerful and free list builder, I would highly reccommend this site. All I did to get the signups was post a few notes on Twitter and, of course, blog about the opp. Now as for Twitter, that's a whole different story.
Twitter is chugging along merrily: every day after my initial friend follow work, I have a steady 5-12 people deciding to follow me everyday, just because they saw me through other people's follow lists. That's pretty cool! So, my network is growing on autopilot! Now just to get the profits working the same way...
Ultimately, all of this is in efforts of building a team of GDI affiliates through my website, Earn Thru GDI. In case you hadn't seen it, I have a section on my site now for current events. Just click this post's headline to get to my site, then click the tab for Current Events.
That's what's new over here! Hope to see you soon!
