What Is Myspace?

What is this thing called MySpace anyway?

MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends' friends, and in your business case, expand your business.

By creating an account on MySpace you can share photos, journals and interests with your growing network of prospects!


If you are reading this then I’m sure you want to know how to increase awareness about your business and to add to your bottom line. ME TOO!

I actually love MySpace because it’s a great place to market. The best part about all of this is that is costs you nothing but time. Yeah it’s FREE OF CHARGE! But as some say, “time is money” or “time is valuable.” All very true if you believe it.

American Idol


I have my ups and downs about this show. I really liked the auditions because they are so funny. A lot of people only watch the first part that allows contestants to make an ass of them selves on national television. The people really have to go through 4 additions before they can get to Randy, Paula, and Simon. But to find out that at the end of the day it was just to get more viewers. Great marketing strategy. I must say that it definitely worked. I for one haven’t missed a show yet this season for the first time ever. I really enjoy watching those talented people sing their hearts out. Too bad all of them can't be the winners. Too bad it’s not my show. The sad thing about this show is that a person can get booted off the show for wrong choice of song.

American Idol is so big now; they have decided to use this as an opportunity to give back. They are going to be raising money to help eliminate poverty in the states and also in Africa. I think it’s a wonderful win-win situation. This is how it’s going to work. You watch and vote for your favorite contestant, sponsors donate money for every vote. You can also donate from home as well at americanidol.com. I really think that it’s a great way to give back. Why not? So make sure you watch and vote. I will.

The Apprentice LA


I absolutely love this show. Donald Trump is doing yet another thing that no one believed would work. But much to their surprise, it’s a big hit on NBC. This show is about people competing to be his right hand man. My question is how can I learn from him without being on the show? Do I pay him $50,000 an hour like others?

I really like when they go into the board room and Donald chews the candidates out, then fires them. It’s funny for me but sad for them. This show is all about marketing. At the end of the day it is all about the bottom line. (Also know as net profit.) Like in any business. When I watch this show I think of new ways of marketing my company and or other businesses that I work with. It’s a new way to expand your horizon. Because sometimes the candidates do things that cause you to scream at the TV telling them that it was a stupid idea, and how you would’ve done it.

The strange but great thing about this show is that the candidates sometimes are already successful. Since Donald is a billionaire, why not learn from him and gain access to his contacts. Remember that it’s all about whom you know. I’m a loyal viewer of The Apprentice LA. If you have time you should watch it on Sundays on NBC. You’ll learn something.
