I posted a QR (Quick Response) Code for my MarketingChick.com website to my facebook wall about a month ago… Gosh, was I excited to finally have one of those ugly, funky, square squiggle things of my own! I even downloaded a qr code reader app and went scan happy for a little bit 
However, it was quickly brought to my attention that having a qr code for your website is pointless unless it’s been optimized for mobile viewing because traditional, non optimized sites are ginormous and difficult to read/navigate using a mobile device. *sad face*

I saw the neat notice saying there’s a new version of WordPress… clicked on the auto install button… and there went TEN YEARS worth of my blog posts. WTFreak!!
I have no idea what the heck happened… my entire blog was gone. I tried restoring from a backup I made last month (because we all know how frequently I’ve been posting…) and that did NOTHING. Not sure if it’s because this version of WordPress is completely different from the previous… but all I know is my freakin blog was GONE.

You’ve seen it… when a marketing guru is asked what the
secret to Internet success is, he/she immediately answers
in the most “I’m going to tell you something so shocking,
you’re gonna pee a raging river in your pants!” tone…
“The secret is… there are NO secrets at all.”
Alright, so I’m guilty of saying that at least once,
and I do apologize for the immense pain you must’ve
felt you in your underpants. But as B.S.-ish as it
sounds to me now, at the time I said it, it was
in all SINCERITY.

Look at some of your favorite marketing sites… those you’ve bookmarked because the writer of the ad promised to teach you how to become successful.
“I’ll show you how to increase the number of your opt-in subscribers without paying for leads, using worthless free services, ad swaps, etc.”
“Get more traffic to your site quickly with my super duper 1-2-punch method that’s easy enough for even my legally blind, 91 year old grandmother to pull off!”
“Learn how to whip up sizzling ad copy that will increase your sales and have visitors begging you for more!”

In high school, while my friends worked at the mall and
fast food places, I earned extra cash as a hula/Tahitian
dancer. I performed at weddings, birthdays, cotillions,
corporate Christmas parties, you name it – and charged
a hundred bucks a dance.
The parties would usually request 3 dances, each
dance around 3 minutes long, and I always had at
least 2 performances every weekend.
At $100 per 3 minute dance, and 3 dances each
performance = $300 for 9 minutes… twice a week
= $600 for 18 minutes
