I hate to admit it but I wrote my first sales letter today. Well It was actually supposed to be a squeeze page but I got totally carried away. I actually enjoyed it. I can understand now why the common sales letters are 5 pages long, I thought I was going to be at a loss for words, I wasn’t. It is not done, not even close but I am fairly pleased at my first crack at it.

I found the biggest problem was being redundant. I repeated myself 4 or 5 times. I know that editing is the hardest part but once I start going back and fixing and moving things around, I tend to screw it up pretty bad.

Ah well… Back to it.

Looking for a carpet expert? Are you turned on by berber and you don’t know why? You need to speak to the carpet expert from Milwaukees favorite carpet store, Beanus Puckgina.

Beanus has been working with all kinds of carpet since he was a small boy. His father, Boris,  started Puckgina Carpet and Rugs in Downtown Milwaukee in the late 50’s and it has been passed down to Beanus who in turn is grooming his children to take it over when they are older.

Beanus will walk you through the steps of buying a new carpet, what to look for, and what he is best know for – informing you of all the little bits of information that you need to know before installing carpet in your home. Did you know that you need to measure an extra foot on each side of the carpet when measuring your room? Did you know that stainmaster is in fact not stain proof? Do you know what carpet is best for pet owners? Beanus will tell you all these things.

When visiting the website for Puckgina Carpets of Milwaukee, you will nbot be assaulted with a huge website of hundreds of choices of carpets, in stead you will be asked a series of questions that will help Beanus get an idea of what kind of carpet would be best for you and your household needs.

In case you didn’t know, this is another test to see how quickly Woirdpress can get indexed for moderately competative keywords.

Also, I am in 800×600 resolution so I can scan for adware so I can’t seee half this post, hence the spelling errors etc.

This is a short post, I have a ton of work to do and I don’t have much to say on this subject. This post is really just to call attention to the last post I made about neon sculptures in Milwaukee.

#1 link in Google for low hanging fruit is not only easily attainable, I can get it in under 30 minutes. Now a search phrase for neon sculptures in Milwaukee may seem like a silly phrase to you, but to a sculptor who makes things out of neon, this listing could be what determines if he gets to keep his lights on next month.

The yellow pages are dead, you have heard it before, and it’s true. Marketing your business, to your community is not difficult.  We can show you what to do, or do it for you.

I will be announcing a local business marketing seminar that we will be holding in Milwaukee sometime in July. Stay tuned.

It’s 9:43 am. This is a post about Neon Sculptures in Milwaukee. Or rather its a post about an artist in Milwaukee who makes neon sculptures. OK, well in fact it really isn’t. What this really is, is a test I am running to check the time it takes to get indexed in the big G for a relatively low competition phrase. In this case an article about an artist who creates sculptures out of neon, he lives in Milwaukee.  Yes, I understand that this really isn’t the blog to be posting this on, but I have to do my tests, then I will delete it.

I don’t really know much about neon, so I can’t write with much authority. I know its glass tubing that is filled with electrically charged gas. I also know that its often used to make signs, especially beer signs.

If I had the pick of neon signs, I would take the sign that hangs in back of the stage of crazy girls in Hollywood.

Ok, well that about wraps up this post about neon sculptures. I should be able to get all the information I need from this post.

All I need to do is place one outgoing link to something about neon sculptures  in the post, and maybe a picture.

Thanks for popping by to check out my article about neon sculptures in Milwaukee . Time finished 9:51 am

UPDATE:

Google indexed and ranked at 10:08 a.m. The next time some SEO snake tells you that you should expect your site to rank in Google in 30 – 90 days, make sure you tell them you know a guy who can get it done in 20 minutes.

One of the bigger projects that I am working on is the backend design of a site that is meant to coordinate appointments between two unrelated businesses. I can’t really go into too much detail about it, it’s potentially huge, but it’s still in the stage where it could be ripped off.

I will say however, that the amount of time and money I will save by using open source software is incredible. The task is to create a site where one business can schedule appointments for their clients with another business that compliments their service. I can achieve this by using

1. Wordpress
2. WP Remix theme for Wordpress
3. The Appointy plugin

This is potentially a million dollar project and I believe that aside from the graphics, I can have the entire thing set up in two days without the need for tech guys.

I am testing out the cross pollination with Windows Live Writer. I have to admit I am a little embarrassed that I didn’t know about Windows Live Writer.

I am not a Microsoft hater. I don’t have a mac or hang around with Mac people. I am really into blogging technology, so that’s why I am a little surprised that I had not heard about Windows Live Writer.

We have a client, our biggest client actually, and we are going to be setting up several site for continuity programs that target 3 or 4 very different audiences. My partner asked me how we should go
about setting up the blogs. Do we want to get a separate domain for the blogs? Do we want to have them all write to one blog? The issue is we can’t have the blogs on the domain for one of the sites because it would alienate the other 2 or 3 audience groups. I went in search for the solution.

I went to Google of course. I punched in a couple queries that didn’t do much good. Then I queried "cross post to multiple blogs". I found an article that was talking about the various options to do just what I was wanting to do. It should be noted that I have several solutions for cross posting, but most have a black hat feel to them and that isn’t appropriate for this client. Anyway, the article was talking about Windows Live Writer and a plugin for it called cross pollinate. This looked like just the ticket, but I assumed as usual it would ALMOST what I wanted but not quite.

I downloaded the software, it asked me for my blog address (URL), I punched in one of my wordpress blogs and hit go. Error, no biggie, I had to go into the admin and check enable XPRC posting. I did that, came back, and voila! Instant easy posting to my blog with the nice candy clean windows type interface. You can select the category, tags and schedule the post. Everything a basic blogger needs to start posting.

I will set the automation for posting to Facebook, Twitter, etc inside Wordpress but this looks great.

I needed to download the pollinate plugin, when I did that I was told I needed to install the .NET framework and that’s where we are now, waiting for that to install.

Ok, everything is installed and this is going to be my test of the xPollinate plugin. If this works, I will be extremely pleased. Three cheers for Bill Gates!
