T.F. Hodge's Blog (39)

When was the last time you had a VC? Yeah, that’s right - a voice check. I had one today, yesterday and the day before that. And I’ll have one tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that, and the day after those, too. Until I become master of self, I’ll live the rest of my days engaging in VC’s.

Good people,

I don't post (here at Book Market Network) as often as I would like, because my hands are completely full. Besides tweeting and writing (blogs, articles, reviews, web content, rap/hip-hop lyrics, business correspondence, and online ad campaigns) I still provide virtual assistance for website owners.

Using twitter.com has helped bring in more traffic to my website, fromwithinirise.com. At first, I didn't receive any "action" worth noting.  However, I came across a free ebook that seems to be doing the job. I am far from a tweeting expert, but the ebook taught me how to make money…

For those who may not yet be aware, I've discovered a website that claims to increase traffic. I just joined for free, today. The name of the site is Link Referral. Let me know if you have prior experience using the site. Since joining earlier this morning, I have already begun to receive more traffic to my website and blog pages.

I know someone who is contemplating doing something very stupid and weak (minded); thinking about giving up, rather than face the ugliness of his own…

Persistence pays off for those who dare. It's all or nothin' for me. Supporting a freelance writing career can be tough, no doubt. But if one keeps digging, sooner or later the universe yields to burning desire. This work-at-home job tool kit helped me navigate the maze!

Many may claim, and many have, to know what awaits on the other side of the transitional fence of time and space. We have chosen to identify IT as 'death'.

To be sure, however, no one actually knows, for certain, what the other side of life holds. We just think we know as a means of feeling secure.

But most fear the other side of…

I highly recommend the following list of books to help promote and generate social media marketing buzz and (ultimately) revenue for your written works. After procrastinating, and working an extra [part-time] gig, I committed to purchasing at least two per month. It was a gutsy call, but the investment in ones dream is always well worth it!

The Choice Between Living Hell or Harmony by T.F. Hodge
