She was asking if we could assist… Continue reading Email marketing lists and free reports
Practicing and gaining experience with the camera
Sometimes I will make a video just to get the practice of using the camera. Using the camera might seem like an easy thing to do-just point and shoot-but you need to be pointing and shooting in the right direction and from different perspectives to make things interesting for the viewer. And that choice of… Continue reading Practicing and gaining experience with the camera
Small business owners should avoid over dependence on 3rd parties for their online presence

The most pleasing thing about these podcast stats

How I am voting in the upcoming referendums
I know this girl who has done a great job in rearing 2 children on her own over the last 20 years or so. The relationship with the father did not work out, and she never married anyone else.
