Hi Robert:
Well, I'v had a very busy week. My daughter, Kassandra, who lives in Washington D.C., came out west to Las Vegas on a 4 day trip, and I went from Laughlin to Vegas to meet her.
Before I got there she spent most of her time shopping.
I wonder if scientists will ever discover the location of the shopping gene!?!
It must be on the X chromosome somewhere! (lol)
This issue is coming out a day late on March 10th, because when I went to the Laughlin library, all of their Internet access was out for over 6 hours and the library closed before I could complete the issue.
My computer is still back in Las Vegas.
Anyway, this issue features some new free advertising programs that look good.
Remember to always use a tracking url when you advertise so you will know for certain which of your ads are effective.
Be sure to sign up for Eva Browne-Paterson's newsletter, because she offers a ton of valuable free resources and tools to new subscribers.
This is the type of useful info that members of your contacts list would appreciate knowing so pass it on.
Enjoy all the goodies in this issue.

Five Stumbling Blocks To Successful Networking And How To Overcome Them
By Lydia Ramsey
The ability to connect with people is essential to success in any business. Professional networking events present opportunities to interact with others on a personal level and to develop profitable relationships.
These occasions are critical for anyone who wants to grow a business or promote a career.
Many people are simply not comfortable walking into a room full of strangers and striking up conversations. Here are five common stumbling blocks that you may face and tips to help you overcome them.
A RELUCTANCE TO TALK TO STRANGERS
You were taught at an early age not to speak to people you don't know. It's not safe. In certain situations today this is still good advice. In business, however, talking to strangers is a way to generate interest and support for your products and services.
If you only talk to the people you already know, you will miss out on opportunities to make new connections and establish valuable contacts.
To get past your discomfort in talking to strangers, set a goal for yourself before you attend any networking event.
Decide how many new contacts you want to make or how many strangers you want to meet. In some cases, you may specifically target individuals whom you'd like to know.
Next come up with some icebreakers or conversation starters. Have questions prepared that you can ask anyone you meet at the event. You may want to inquire about other people's business, their connection to the sponsoring organization or their opinion of the venue.
LACK OF A FORMAL INTRODUCTION
It's much easier to make a new contact when there is someone else to handle the introduction and pave the way. If you wait for another person to make the move you may not meet anyone. At networking events, the goal is to meet as many people as possible.
This is the time to take the bull by the horns, walk up to people you don't know, introduce yourself and start a conversation. You can do this if you have prepared your self-introduction in advance.
You will not introduce yourself the same way on every occasion. Perhaps it is your first time to attend an association meeting. In that case, you might want to say that as part of your introduction. Let people know who you are, why you are there and give them a reason to ask more abut you.
FEAR OF BEING SEEN AS PUSHY
You may think that you will turn people off if you are assertive and that if they want to talk to you, they will make the first move.
If this is your line of thinking you will find yourself spending your time alone at the reception or meeting function and leaving without a single new connection. Being open, friendly and interested does not turn people off.
You will not come across as overly aggressive if you seek out the "approachable" people. These are the ones who are standing alone or who are speaking in groups of three or more. Two people talking to each other are not approachable because they may be having a private conversation and you would be interrupting.
THINKING THAT OTHER PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE YOU
There is always the risk that the other person is not interested in you and doesn't want to meet or talk to you. It happens. If that is the case, don't take it personally. Nothing ventured is nothing gained. When you get a cold shoulder, smile, move on and say to yourself, "Next?"
HAVING YOUR INTENTIONS MISUNDERSTOOD
Approaching someone of the opposite sex to begin a conversation may seem more like flirting than networking. This is more of an issue for women than men. Women have an equal place in the work arena and need to make professional connections the same as men do.
Women in business can no longer afford to hold back when there is opportunity at hand.
Neither men nor women will have their motives misinterpreted if they present themselves professionally in their attire and if they keep the conversation focused on business issues or topics that are not personal or private.
Whatever your stumbling blocks, face them before the next networking event and devise a personal plan for getting past them. Once you do, you will find yourself connecting with confidence and courtesy on every occasion and the results will be reflected in your bottom line.

I am only familiar with two of the the Internet marketers at this video conference that costs a token $1 (US), Tim Sales and Joe Vitale.
Tim Sales is co-author of the outstanding video, Brilliant Compensation, which is, by far, the best explanation of the true value of Network Marketing ever offered.
This conference should be worth checking out:

The Long-term Benefit Of Offering Valuable Free Products And Services To Your Contact Lists
http://resultstracker.net/t.php?id=37342
Here is the #1 concept that drives the Internet as far as individual success goes:
A high level of credibility has a monetary value!
You can build your credibility by offering to your contact lists on a regular basis information that solves a problem or fulfills a need.
When that information is in the form of free products or services, your email messages are virtually certain to be opened and read by a high percentage of your contacts.
Periodically, slip in a commercial message, (monetize your credibility).
If you have multiple lists, you will have some kind of commercial messages going out on a regular basis.
The archives of THE TAX TORPEDO Newsletter are a great source for quality free programs, products and services.
I am still working on completing an up-to-date archives with all 2004 and 2005 issues.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine
A man was brought to Mercy Hospital and taken in for coronary surgery. The operation went well, and, as the groggy man regained consciousness, he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed.
"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun, gently patting his hand. "We do need to know, however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?"
"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.
"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.
"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."
"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun asked.
"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered. "But she's a humble spinster nun."
"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not 'spinsters'. They are married to God."
"Wonderful," said Smith. "In that case, please send the bill to my brother-in-law."
