Life Of E's

You may noticed when I make a ‘comment’ on a blog post, there’s a little picture of me that shows up next to it.  The same is true for Kelly J. Eveleth (who at this point is the only other person who comments on this blog who has a gravatar).  I’ve (just today) had a Life [...]

One of the people I have learned the most from in the last 4 or 5 years as I’ve built my company is Alexandria Brown.  On Thursday evening, March 5th, she is hosting a free teleseminar (that I wouldn’t miss) entitled “How to Create Your OWN Strong Economy This Year…with Online Information Marketing.”  You can [...]

Recent Life of E’s Email Extravaganza question: How much of your website do you do yourself and how much must you have done by your webmaster?  You are constantly creating new products and ideas and adding them to your website, your shopping cart, etc. Are you able to do this yourself or must you have [...]

Thanks to Jenny Hamby for this article – and for giving me permission to publish it.  It’s definitely worth reading if you’ve been considering purchasing an email ‘mailing’ list. If you’ve been tempted to buy an email list that offers unlimited use for a one-time price … or if you view networking functions as a great way to collect [...]

Julie-Ann McFann, Life of E’s member, Mac user, and the Fairy Godmother for academic women sent me this resource: http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  Since I record webinars in Windows Media Player format, Mac users need an option to allow them to download the webinar recordings…and apparently this is one such option. Check it out if you are a [...]

A Life of E’s member just asked how to create a Google Alert (since I’d recommended he do so based on something that I learned today because I have my name “alerted.”)  Here are the directions: Go to www.Google.com Click on “more” near the top of the page Click on “even more” toward the bottom [...]

The following article is used with permission from Karyn Greenstreet of Passion for Business.  I asked if I could share it because it deserves wide readership and you may not have seen it if you aren’t subscribed to her free newsletter. A strange phenomena has been spreading like a virus over the past few months. [...]

Earlier this year when I taught a teleseminar/webinar series on “Teaching & Reaching/Learning & Earning with Cool Tools” (and another on using KickStartCart, the shopping cart system that I use), we talked about using the Broadcast and AutoResponder functions in a shopping cart. One of the frustrations I’ve had is that when something is sent in Plain [...]

Question from this morning’s Life of E’s Email Extravaganza: Seems one of my annoying challenges is always with the technology.  I loved your Powerpoint presentation-”First rate handouts,” and reworked my ShoeBox presentation-wish I’d done that earlier!  Is there a way to “copy” that PPT to a Word Document so that I can work on handouts?  The [...]

Suggestion: As most of you know, I buy all my domains through 1and1.com (and then either build little sites there using their services or just let them sit there or transfer them to my main webhosting company that builds my main sites).  I got a notice the other day that on November 3, 2008, prices [...]
