What do you think?

I have not been able to drop ECs for the past days. I apologize for that. I am sick and have been staying online to do work and then would log off right away to sleep my cough and cold off. To my droppers, I am returning drops as I write this entry.

I was just wondering, while dropping, if Entrecard is still any good in your opinion. Frequent downtime, declining advert clicks, bounce rate. In my case, I still get comments from first-time visitors or those who are not regular readers. Not much but I am already happy with what I get. Sadly, the advert clicks declined, as well as the organic clicks.

So what do you think, is EC still as good for you?

Capture it on film

Special occasions are normally captured either through photos or film/video. An old family friend always makes sure that their family reunions, held yearly during Christmas, captured on film. They really hire professionals to capture candid moments during their reunions. I know that now, they want to hire professionals who can do film transfer. High-quality film transfer, to be exact.

Video Conversion Experts can transfer 8mm film to DVD format. No need to worry about the quality of the transfer because they can assure you it would be like watching a movie in DVD. That’s how good they are at what they do. Or if you want, they can preserve your old films for you. As if putting it in their original state. If the film quality is already grainy, they can fix that.

You can’t capture a moment gone ever again. You can re-enact it. But it would never be the same. So better make sure you capture it on film. Or if you already did and you are afraid the film won’t live that long anymore, better get the services of Video Conversion Experts and then have them transfer the film to another format. An 8mm to DVD or to VCD, you choose. Visit them at VideoConversionExperts.com now.

Direct paid to post offers: Which ones are legit?

I get invitations to write about this and that by email. These are direct offers from individuals representing companies and other advertisers. I know right away who’s legit and who’s spamming my inbox. Like there are emails coming from a company offering an opportunity for you to earn a thousand bucks ($1,000) a day! Come on! If it’s a month, I might believe it. But a day?!? Then there are those selling techniques for you to earn as much. Or those home-based opportunities where you need to sign up and eventually after filling out 3 forms, you are actually going to pay a fee before you can join. Hmm…

I tried some that I thought were legitimate offers and they turned out to be legitimate offers! I got paid and that’s it. Some return to ask for another blog. I remember there was once this blog advertising program, Blog for Bucks that victimized a lot of bloggers for a measly $15! A person representing them would contact you for offers and after you posted it, they would stop replying to your demands of payment. I did write for them twice and they paid me both times. After that, probably due to misuse of funds, they stopped paying other bloggers.

Let me tell you that some are legitimate offers. It’s for you to discern which ones are legit and which ones are not.

Do you get this kind of offers? Have you tried it and the most important question, did you really earn from it?

Look your best

When you are facing clients all the time, it is best to make yourself presentable. You are representing your company and you want to make a good impression. Wear a business attire or casual chic clothes at least. Comb your hair and pin it. Wear presentable footwear. Always bring a mouthwash so you can gargle if you feel like you need to. Keep your grooming things handy just in case. If you have the money, go and get Plano porcelain veneers so you can smile widely and not look like you are hiding something in your mouth. Apply makeup appropriately.

One of the marketing people from a former company was let go because he couldn’t represent the company the way he should. He’s always looking messy and like he just woke up. HR talked to him about it already but he’s clearly a slob so I don’t think he will ever change. In fact, I saw him a few months ago and he’s still the same. Disheveled and looking worse for wear.
