3 Time Creating For Your Business

I wrote an article on Ezinearticles about blogging as a technique to brand and gain more credibility. Today, time management is the important topic because it takes time to blog and brand. I personally have number one, started carrying a notebook everywhere I go. I can create on the go with my notebook and post it to my blog immediately with my laptop or smart phone. Saturday I am taking my notebook to Chicago with me and I will be able to create my original content while traveling.
Where do I get my content? I write about what I am doing each day to achieve success. For example, the 2nd thing to create time is to combine similar activities. I went to a book fair and spent $ 5 getting a creative looking notebook to blog. I enjoyed the book fair and did something for my business. Third, just actively find the time to brand, blog, write articles, advertise, and market. Create your time by carrying a notebook, combining activities, and actively finding time.http://richandrich.posterous.com/3-time-creating-for-your-business

A Happy Wednesday With A Bag Full Of Magic

I love this bag and so I wanted to share it with my fellow blog readers. A Bag of Magic Description
Espresso leather, shiny silver magnetic domes, smooth drawstring closure and zippered expansion on the front pocket, make for “A Bag full Of Magic”. Open its main compartment and find handy pockets for your cell phone and sunglasses. Zippered outside pockets on each side and comfortable over-the-shoulder straps instantly transform this stylish handbag to a backpack.

I have heard some fellow women ask about watches so I am listing two of my favorites. The first watch is black and it's theme is Shimmer Time and it is perfect for the handbfag Bag Of Magic." The other watch is Swiss Magic. You have to go to Accessories on my site to purchase these items. (I am in Wisconsin) and a blouse that would show off the Swiss Magic watch and I also wanted a handbag. For the handbag I found Fifth Avenue Collections "Cinnamon Girl" (Yess!)

Marketing Fifth Avenue Collections and Rich and Rich Blog

I spent today handing out my business cards that list my blog which has a link to Fifth Avenue Collections Jewelry, which is my home based business.  While passing out my cards, I saw a vendor at Summit City in Milwaukee Wisconsin.  I spoke with the vendor because she was in a high traffic area and I wanted to know how to model/market that same idea of selling as a jewellery vendor.  I was so excited and as I was leaving the building, I bumped into a security guard who was able to give me a business card to the manager for Summit City.  I did call and left a message and I am excited about this new business network prospect.  If I was not actively promoting my busines and blog,  I would not have met the vendor which lead to a manager.  My motto is to promote, promote, promote.  I also know that original content is key to keeping my blog active.  Alot of people don't understand the importance of blogging and how it helps your business and can increase your cash flow.  I think I will create an article dedicated to the importance of blogging.  I love that I am actually an author everytime I sent down and create my blog ideas and I will be adding I am an author to my business cards.  I want my following to know that I am a real person with a smalll business that is successful.  Don't forget you need a blog, website, and credit card processing.

RSS Submission Importance And Time

I realize today that trying to submit my rss feeds is very time consuming.  I still do work a part time job and use my off time for my business endeavors.  I spend my days  off creating original content for blogs, keeping up squidoo lenses, keeping up facebook pages.  I also work on unfinished lenses and websites.  So today I have to get some help and outsource submitting my rss feeds by using and rss feed submitssion service.  So currently I am on google using the keywords "rss submission services."  I hope to find something economical rss submission is crucial to improving my blog and website search engine rankings.  I have to submit to directories, article submissions, social bookmarking networks.  These are the sites my research yielded.

Untitled

I put this outfit together today, starting with the accessories as the foundations and then I built my swanky set around the theme. The jewelry set is a stunning earth tones of divine smoky rounds and a shimmering brushed copper finish enhance this unique design as a touch of the safari’s golden sun burns brightly in the fiery Swarovski topaz center. Earrings with sterling silver hooks or adjustable clips and 16” Neckpiece with 2” extension

Purchase African Sunset

 

I put this together with leggings and chiffon blouse that you can get from bodycentral.com.  I love leggings and this chiffon blouse will go great with the boots, handbag, and the African Sunset jewelry set.  A pair of brown jeans would work great also.

Ball Of Fire

Look into your crystal ball and let it predict all the fun and admiring glances that will be in your future when you wear this stunning “Ball of Fire” threaded with a slinky designer chain.  28” neckpiece with 2” extension nickel and lead free.  I would dress this up with a red shirt, black jeans, and half black boots.  If you have that dark grey or black leather jacket, then throw it on if the temperature permits.  Or wear that swanky black dress and pumps and add silver accessories.  Sometimes I will dress my whole outfit around my accessories.  Let's see if I can find some shoes to add to the necklace image and a purse, dress your look around these items.

Fifth Avenue Collection Jewelry RSS Submission

One thing that I sometimes forget is to submit my rss feeds to lists.  I listed all my rss feeds in notepad and today I will work on submitting.  I have a Fifth Avenue Collection blog so it makes submission very easy.  I will also be submitting to Google, Yahoo, and Digg.  I will continue to work on the design and updates of my website.  I absolutely love being an Independent Jeweller
and the Jewelry that Fifth Avenue Collection designs. One of the best upgrades to my Fifth Avenue Collection Jewelry business is signing Up For Credit Card Processing!  It is important to be able to process credit cards to increase your profits.  I don't know how many times a vendor at a trade show stated "I can't process credit cards."  You are losing profits.  I am not going to be in that category and will be using Merchant Warehouse to process all my credit card transactions.
