Testing New Software

I am currently testing some new software apps, and hope to have some new info for you shortly.

Two are video conversion programs, both of which I think are handy. Another is a desktop software creator. As you know, I hesitate to post a lot of blather about things that I don’t believe in. So I ask that you be patient while I test these out.

In the meantime, is there anything you’re particularly interested in that I might be able to report on? Please comment and let me know.

Updating This Blog

I don’t update this blog on a daily, or even weekly basis. The reason(s) is/are simple.

First, I don’t use any automation. Many bloggers do… usingĀ  feeds, plug-ins and other software to increase their exposure and, subsequently, search engine rankings

I would really rather believe that people who visit this blog, and even subscribe (thank you!) do so because there is something here of value to them. I’d rather have a small audience of loyal readers than some phony flood of traffic “curiosity seekers.”

I don’t blatantly post links to products simply because I could make a commission if you buy them. Frankly, the 10 – 20% I may get is hardly worth it.

I search out products I think can benefit me, and IF they do, I pass on a link to you. You’re not obligated to click that link. It’s up to you. Heck, if you use search engines, you can probably find a direct link to the product, bypassing me altogether.

So why bother?

First, it’s kinda fun. Even if it weren’t, I have a need to pass on what I know works for me. It may be nothing more than a need to communicate, a need to talk. It’s basic human nature, I guess.

As far as updating this blog is concerned, I’m not going to blather away just for the sake of updating. I’ll post when I know something. Google be damned. This is (I hope) YOUR blog.

Never fear to tell me what you thnk.

Marketing and Advertising Banners

If you’re advertising and/or marketing online, you need a fast, easy and inexpensive way to create banners for websites.

I’ve been an affiliate marketer online for almost 10 years. I work with some of the best affiliate networks out there. Most vendors provide their own advertising materials, including banner ads. They’re very well done, and proven to convert.

But sometimes, perhaps often, you need to brand yourself along with the product branding. You want people to know they’re not necessarily just being “transported” to some manufacturer’s landing page, but that YOU support that manufacturer and the product you’re recommending.

You need a personal touch. You need your own advertisement!

Watch this video. Click to play it:

I’ve been using this program since it was V5, back in 2005 or so. It’s come a long way, and I’m still using it. The features not covered in the video are phenomenal. You can animate your graphics in 3 different ways. Add images from your own collection. Create virtually any size graphic you need. You have to see it to believe it. You have to try it to know it.

New Software

I just added a link on the sidebar to Avanquest software. I do recommend that you look at it. Avanquest is a reputable outfit. I use some of their programs, and have never had a problem.

Periodically they will update their “Download Of The Week” here. Check it out.

Yikes! I’d Better Get Busy…

I apologize for the long stretch without updating around here. I’ve been very busy working on some new earning opportunities, and have been preoccupied for some time.

Still keeping my eyes and ears open for great stuff to let you know about.
