It’s the end of another long night. It’s actually 4:18am right now and I’m just now wrapping up my Monday. I kind of had to redeem myself from earlier today because I spent nearly the ‘entire’ day stuck on a technical issue with one of my websites. Thus, the reason I don’t have a passion for anything IT (Information Technology). Things are beautiful when they work…but when they don’t, I feel like breaking stuff! But, the good news is that I got it taken care of. Instead of going the manual route, I had to break-down and buy a plugin to do all of the dirty work for me. That’s what I get for being cheap, I guess. But enough about technical stuff for now.
I’ve been thinking all day today (in between curse words spewed at my computer screen) about how to take this blog to the next level. To be honest, I’m starting to get bored with it. And I think, if I was a reader, I’d be a bit bored of reading it too. I’ve been keeping this journal for just over 2 years. And it’s time to kick things up a notch to make it more enticing to read and as important, more enticing for me to want to contribute.

Yo! So I turned Thirty today. And I’m loving it. Thank God for the privilege to see another birthday! And that is for shizzle. Statisically, I think I was supposed to be dead or in jail like 5 years ago or earlier. That’s both funny and not funny at the same time.

I’ve got a quick tip this evening that I figured I’d share. This tip isn’t so much related to real estate but it can come in handy as I’ve been using it for quite some time. It’s called “ScrapBook” and it’s a Firefox add-in. With this add-in, you can save a series of webpages for off-line viewing. You may be saying to yourself, “what’s the big deal, I can do that already”. Well, while it’s true that with most web browsers you can download a page for later viewing. With this add-on you can download an entire website for later viewing. And while viewing the off-line version, you wouldn’t notice that it wasn’t live.

Lately, I’ve been spending more and more time behind this computer.? It’s a necessary evil I guess.? Now that I’ve added Lease/Option Wholesaling to my bag of trix, I’ve been very busy.? I’ve just revised my property blog to work hand in hand with Aweber.? That sounds very simple, but setting up Aweber with WordPress can be very tedious.? Especially when you’re segregating subscribers into multiple lists…pain in the @ss if you ask me.

So it’s late Saturday night.? And I’m contemplating hitting the streets to “advertise”, because late at night is the best time to do it.? But the bad part is that it just snowed today and I know my white advertisements do so well against a white background when stuck in a frozen ground (I’m being kinda subliminal for a reason that I can’t explain here), I need to order yellow ones.? So anyway, I think I may do something else with my time tonight.

Things are really going to explode in a big way for my business soon.? I say that because I have been making major progress in many facets.? Last July when I was at the Short Sales Riches seminar in Las Vegas, I learned some cool tips on short selling and birddogging short sale leads.? But, the most valuable tip I learned was from Colin Andrews Egbert when he was informing the crowd about his REI Web 2.0 program.? That tip was that: Read more…
