John Wadsworth’s Neighborhood

Hi everyone

We're heading back starting tomorrow -- going to stick along the eastern shore hoping to keep as warm as possible, as long as possible. I've posted some pictures from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia on my main website (www.SueCrutcher.com) blog. Here is the direct link in case I've posted after you go there: http://www.suecrutcher.com/blog/?p=17 

Trust everyone is doing well and ramping up their business plans for 2010.

Here's a great way to get started:

http://www.suecrutcher.com/blog/?p=31

Listen to the "Tuesday Tidbits" that are posted each week at: www.SueCrutcher.com

I've got a lot on the go and will keep you posted -- or sign up for my free enews if you want the details sent to you instead of you having to look for them. http://suecrutcher.com/newsletter.htm

And, get your FREE REPORT: "How to say 'no' -- nicely" at www.SueCrutcher.com (left column)

What do you think of the NEW LOOK of the site? I've got a bit of tweeking to do to get it more focused on my niche market, but it's on the way.  Lots coming up in the new year as well. I'll be in Tucson 4 times in 2010 starting in January as I've been accepted into Kendall's Platinum 2010 Inner Circle coaching program; am retaking CMMS to be supportive of several friends who are in the program.

Just finishing up my 'marketing calendar' for 2010. In January/February I'm offering PRIVATE COACHING (virtual) for 1/2 price; there's a medium product launch in March/April and I'm in the process of planning my 'big event' this fall:2-day VIP Elite Master Mind Intensive. If you want to know more about any of them, email me at Susan@SueCrutcher.com  

To your success!

First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!

The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.

TypePad Micro

A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.

Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.

On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.

And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.

The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.

When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.

It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.

Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.

As always, thanks for your patience.

Dolf and April Braswell2

As a Dating Expert who has both lived in a few different metro regions (New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles/The OC and Las Vegas) as well as worked with singles in a number of different cities both within the United States as well as around the world, one of the considerations a number of singles have is they want to meet, date, and mate with another single in their local area.

Yes, you will see on some of the online dating niche sites, like those which are faith based for Muslims, Christian or Jewish Singles, is that the single will often make some statement like, “Distance is no object.”  They think the are open to loving and partnering up with another single from any where in the country.

And in a manner, they are open like that.  They are open to love coming to them from just about anywhere.

And then reality kicks in.

In order to really fall in love, to attract your Soul Mate and build a relationship, you actually need to open up and share each others lives together.  Courtship which leads to marriage requires that you share your lives and actually BE with each other.  So much of the dating style of the “Single – Never Married” folks is to either “hang” on the sofa and watch movies, while fun, eventually becomes boring, or to go do the consumer single dating style of going “out” all the time.  Neither of these models is actually what we DO in the normal LIFE of a married couple/life partner relationship.  When I coach singles who are divorced or widowed and we get to that part of my coaching system, they say, “OMG, April, you are brilliant! This is so true!” (I heard this today from one widowed lady.)  And they can see how I approach relationship attraction and building form reality and not from some pipe dream which will never happen.

Real relationships are between human beings.  There are some crass metaphors for describing this which I will refrain from using to illustrate my point.

When you are looking to attract love and build a life partner relationship, generally speaking, to do so you need to be in person.  In order to experience that, this means you want to date another single who is local to you or at least in your metro area region.  That can still mean that they live a few hours away from you.  However, unless you travel to certain metro areas repeatedly for business, you want to keep your targets on another single who lives within a few hours of you, and not thousands miles away, which would be just fooling yourself.

Then you actually have a chance of attracting, meeting, and mating with your Soul Mate and developing the kind of lifelong love relationship which you are craving.

Happy Dating and Relationships,

April Braswell

Good day everyone,

Tis Friday or thereabouts,

Hopefully the review materials had enough triggers in them to write down a few big and small picture ideas.

Make it a great day and bring out your strategy questions.

Good day all,

Very glad to see nice results from promo. Nothing teaches like real life.

Make it an amazing day today!

So ... you won't hear from me for a bit. My husband, the dog and I are heading out 'camping'. Here's a picture of the rig with the 'toybox' behind it. Just about any mode of transportation is available upon setting up camp. A canoe or kayak; mopeds; bicycles and a little miata for touring.

We've gotten almost all the fall cleanup done around the homestead. When it's complete ... it's off we go. Where? South. Not Florida. That's about as far as we get with 'planning'. Usually we end up somewhere around Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Who's to say this year? By travelling with no itinerary, there is no chance of anything messing up. This doesn't work for everyone, but it's how we usually travel and always have ... even when the children were little.

Life is an adventure -- enjoy it!

While I'm away, I'll have my trusty little computer with me working diligently at getting new web copy, promotional material, teleseminars and presentations ready. I have a LOT of ideas for the upcoming year -- and BIG goals to achieve.

Talk to you soon...

Sue

Very nice to see the words "opt in" being thrown around.

And concern about emails that contain spam triggers....the world it does advance.

Apparantly amazon sold out of the books they originally ordered because it is 1-3 weeks for shipping now. (more books were shipped to amazon today)

Will be interesting!

Good day everyone,

Well you've had a taste of real life internet marketing.

About 80 people from your emails including yourselves went to www.the168hourweek24-7  today. I was anticipating closer to 500 or perhaps 750. Not sure what to make of that.

Next time you do a JV make sure you email everyone in your address book. Mom, Dad, the kid down the street. Almost all internet marketers keep track of exactly who sells books, who mails, what the specific numbers are. People who mail and sell get asked back. People who don't, don't. I call people who don't mail "defectors." In the business they call them something else...

I also want to thank you for the effort that was made by those who really worked on the promo. You know who you are. You can know that I am well aware of who tried like hell. (Effort in lieu of results does matter because you know who is worth taking a chance on in the future.)

You'll continue to see people stopping off at your website now. Not a ton but enough to know that you are no longer in the elementary mode....You are now officially in business.

When I find out about how many books were sold today, I'll let you know. First guess is 400. We sold about 300 going into late morning.

The new audio files are posted at the website.

Much to do this week. Lots of documents coming your way.

You'll want to listen to those files ASAP. They won't be available after the course due to pillaging that happened. And, ask tons of questions.

There are six days remaining in the course. WOW. What a journey!

Make it an amazing day everyone!

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
