The last few days I have been sitting in on some Google hangouts with some really neat people that are part of a place on the Internet called WOM Vegas. WOM Vegas is the brainchild of Timothy Drobnick of Gahanna, Ohio here in the US. It is sort of like Facebook or Myspace but with more things to do that can earn you some extra money. You may not get rich playing games and stuff at WOM Vegas, but you certainly have a better chance of coming home a winner than if you play the slots at Las Vegas or Atlantic City. You also have more of a chance of making money on Wom Vegas than most people will on Facebook.
I have learned a considerable amount of very interesting stuff in the hangout with Tim and some other people that are part of WOM Vegas. WOM Vegas is actually an acronym WOM is for word of mouth, such as Word of Mouth advertising. Vegas of course eludes to Las Vegas but not because you can play high stakes slot machines or do other stuff you can do in Las Vegas. The reason the name Vegas was chosen is because Las Vegas is where a considerable number of conventions and conference etc are held. Tim had the plan for WOM Vegas to be the Online Equivalent of “Vegas” the Conference Center Capital.
I also found out that you can become a sales agent for free and actually buy and sell advertising at the site and it is pretty reasonable starting at 1.00. I have been playing around the site since going to the 1st Google Hangout a couple days back and have actually bought a few ads for Empower Network to see how they would do. You can use WOM Vegas stuff to promote other businesses or Wom Vegas can be your business, it is totally up to you.
WOM Vegas much like Myspace or Facebook is totally Free to join, you can become a sales agent if you want, but you don’t have to. There are numerous Chat Rooms and several various games such as Bingo. You may meet your next best friend there, or maybe not. You won’t know unless you join and that takes about 15 seconds and 0 dollars, so go join already here is the link.
Tim has been having some pretty regular hangouts on Google +, why don't you join us for one and see if this is for you. If it is then you have found a good opportunity, if not you have learned something so you have not really wasted anything. To find out more about Wom Vegas click here.
Many years ago I met a Professional Marketer by the name of James Tolleson, his brother Rodney, and Brian Riddle. They were all very good salesman and were quite knowledgeable in marketing. James was the one that did a lot of the semnars back then, maybe he still does. I googled that name once and he apparently is still alive and still marketing just not as highly visible as he was then. I sure hope they are all doing well.
James was at that time very good at giving acronyms to his teachings and it really helps you remember. I remember him saying that you should always remember the PIE principle. PIE stands for Profit in Everything. I took that to mean that even if you go into a deal and you lose money, you still learn something from that deal. If you lose your money because of something the other person did you may not want to take that person up on his next deal. What if you lost money because of something you did, wouldn't you carefully avoid making that same mistake in the next investment you make with your time and money?
Another thing he talked about were the 4 P's let me see if I can remember them Profit, Protection, Pride and Pleasure I think. You should do everything for Profit first, but profit should be divided into 3 sections also. 1st and foremost should be profit for God, 2nd Profit for the other person or persons in the deal, 3 profit for yourself. Put yourself last in a business deal and you come out on top. Kind of reverse of what most of us try to do isn't it. The second P is for protection (insurance if you like) you will want to have some assurance that all parties will do their part.
I went into business a few years back with a person that was suppose to do several things in leu of putting up any funds, I would put up the money, buy most of the materials and this person was suppose to provide much of the labor. The big problem is the only assurance I had was the person's word and it was not kept, so the business went under and I took a big financial loss. I did learn then though to get everything in writing and to spell out the entire arrangent on paper.
The third P is for Pride. I know the bible tells us that Pride is a sin. I believe that there the lord is talking more about what most people would call vanity, than the Pride Mr Tolleson was talking about. I think he is more talking about the pride in a Job well done type thing. Like when we win a race or beat our last time out in a time trial or maybe cook an exceptionally good dinner. If we don't take some "pride" in our work then how can we feel good about it. When I repair a bicycle I want the bicycle to stay repaired for a while and I also want the customer to be happy. If I didn't take some pride in my work, do you think that either of these things would be common? I dought it.
The last P of the 4 was for Pleasure. We all need time to enjoy life no matter how much we tell ourselves we don't. Too many people have literally worked themselves to death. Take time to smell the roses is not just a catch phrase. Work Hard and play hard, or just enjoy life, each iof us will have a different way to relax and have pleasure. Some will ride a bicycle down a mountain trail and others will walk in the flowers or maybe go for a picnic it is totally up to the individual, but it is important.
Mr Tolleson said that if you keep these P's in order and you run your business and life this way then you will be successful. I have been trying hard to do just that.
Sometimes though you have to go with your gut feeling. I joined Empower Network for just that reason. I had been trying to set up a wordpress blog for awhile. I have used 1and1.com as my website host for several years and really did not see a reason to change. The one thing though that I have not been able to do with 1 and 1 is to get a wordpress.org blog to work right on their server. It will load or at least appears that all the files are there, but getting it to actually do anything is about like getting oil to mix with water. They have their own version of a Wordpress blog called a 1and1 blog which is not really any good for marketers. I am sure that most mareketers know that wordpress.org software is the way to go and it won't take you long to find out that wordpress.org is far supperior from a marketing aspect than wordpress.com and yes there is a tremendous difference. Wordpress. com is set up on the Wordpress server, wordpress.org is a software package you download. Other than having some operational similarities they are as different as day and night from a marketing standpoint.
