Shared Journaling Between a Boy and His Mom

September 28th, 2011

Little Falls, MN – September 27, 2011: Communicating with children has become more difficult for parents in recent years. With hectic work and school schedules as well as the advancements in technology, television and gaming entertainment, many parents are finding it difficult for their child to open up to them. As a parent, it is your goal to provide comfort and advice for your children and let them know that you are available for anything that they need – without judgment. Journal Buddies Boys Journal created by Jill Schoenberg is opening the doors of communication between young boys and their mothers.

Journaling has been long known as a way for children to open up about their feelings and the events of their life. However, the kids journal provided through Journal Buddies is slightly different. With the boys journal, a mother and her son can take time each day to communicate on a deeper level. Each entry page is set up with four different sections. The first is listing three traits that each buddy likes about the other. The second is a quote or motivational phrase of the day. The third section is where you can focus on a word of the day with your child and finally, the fourth section is where thoughts can be written down. Journal Buddies is continuing to change the relationship between a mother and her son for the better.

Here is a recent success story about how beneficial Journaling can be:

“My oldest son and I have been using the journal a couple of times a week and we’re really learning about each other! At 13, he’s a little older than the recommended age, but I don’t see that he feel this stuff is too young or him. I have a little guy who is nearly three and he has taken a lot of my time from my oldest since he was born. Having the journal is a way to show him a little extra attention, even if we’re not together!

Here’s how we use it: He’ll start a new journal entry, then leave the book sitting somewhere that I’ll find it (the last time it was on top of the coffee maker – he knew I’d see it there!) Then, when I get a few minutes, I’ll read and respond with my own entry. I also hide it in places where he’s sure to find it – wrapped up in his bath towel, under his pillow or in his underwear drawer. It’s a special little thing that is just for the two of us – a rarity nowadays!

We have grown much closer in the past few months. And I know that, especially at this crazy time in his life, he feels comfortable bringing up subjects that most 13 year-old boys would be horrified to talk to their moms about (he just writes them down!)”

Through the use of this tween journal, any mom can create a safe zone for her and her son. For more information on Journal Buddies, you can visit the website at JournalBuddies.com or contact Jill Schoenberg via email at [email protected] or phone at (877) 339-6784.

Social Media and SEO Excellence

September 25th, 2011

Two Chicago companies combined to form Blue Rise Media LLC with the purpose of creating and sharing internet marketing, social media, and search engine optimization excellence for local businesses.

Chicago, IL – Knowledge Plus Action, a social media implementation and education company and Web Genius Media, a search engine optimization company, have combined forces to provide optimal online exposure and marketing results for local businesses.  These two Chicago companies have merged into one company called Blue Rise Media LLC to pool their individual expertise in the online marketing arena.  During the month of September, they will be offering a “Grand Opening” special on individual services to local businesses.  You can find out more information about the new company along with their contact information at http://www.BlueRiseMedia.com.

With over 60 years of combined experience in the IT industry, the co-founders of Blue Rise Media LLC recognized a need in the marketplace for quality internet marketing related services for local businesses.  Too often, local businesses pay substantial amounts for website design, social media services, or search engine optimization services only to receive little if any additional business or results.  The primary reason for the poor results is not the quality of work; instead, it’s the focus of the work.  The challenge is that most companies that offer web design are really good at web design and not very good at getting traffic results.  In addition, many social media and SEO companies do not formulate a strategy for their clients.  Instead, they just create profiles, start posting random bits of data, and think that driving traffic is the same thing as getting more customers.  To see real results and to get more customers, Blue Rise Media LLC recognized that web site design, social media marketing, and search engine optimization, all need to be part of an overall marketing strategy.

Bryan Eisenberg, professional speaker, bestselling author, and online marketing authority, says, “Trying to increase sales simply by driving more traffic to a website with a poor customer conversion rate is like trying to keep a leaky bucket full by adding more water instead of plugging the holes.”  A proper internet marketing strategy will focus on plugging the holes first and then adding more water.  Gord Hotchkiss, President, Enquiro, says, “SEO is by nature a cross-functional exercise. It involves many different departments, all working together towards a common goal.”  So is social media marketing or SMM.  When you talk to a company like Blue Rise Media LLC and they focus more on an overall integrated online marketing strategy instead of just selling you services, then you are probably working with the right company.  You can find more information about building a proper strategy at the Blue Rise Media website located at http://www.BlueRiseMedia.com.

Additionally, as part of the overall strategy and in order to achieve SMM and SEO excellence, you must also know that internet marketing is not a one-and-done event.  In fact, marketing in general is an ongoing event and those who market regularly are those who see results over the long term.  P.J. Fusco, The ClickZ Network says, “It’s an ongoing investment that must be resourced properly. It’s not a one-hit, one-phrase paradigm. It’s not built on quick wins for trophy phrases. There are hard costs and soft costs associated with building a successful SEO strategy that deserve proper budget allocations.” So it’s important to budget appropriately for an internet marketing campaign over several months and more.   Ask yourself what is the lifetime value of one client, or how much money will I make off of one client over the course of their lifetime?  Then ask yourself how many clients do you need to get in order to pay for a proper internet marketing strategy?  The results can be surprising.  Dr. Robert Silvers of The Cosmetic and Implant Dental Company says that one client could be worth up to $30,000 on their first visit.  It only takes one of those clients to pay for a complete campaign for a year or more.

If you’re in business today, marketing and getting customers online should be an essential part of your customer acquisition strategy.  The use of social media and search engine optimization can be very effective when done properly as part of a strategic plan and it is here to stay.  It is important to budget for an ongoing online SMM and SEO campaign to create long term results and have maximum exposure and conversion.  The bottom line is to find a company which will help you focus on the right long term strategy instead of just selling you services and driving traffic.

What’s your Financial IQ?

September 23rd, 2011

REDWOOD SHORES, CA – Sept 19, 2011 –Connor Wealth Management, a new Redwood Shores-based company, launched an online Financial IQ Test to help consumers quickly assess their understanding of today’s financial economic factors.  This short 7-question test can quickly identify your Financial IQ.  Don’t believe it if someone tells you that there are no right or wrong answers with respect to your finances – there are. Making the right decisions with your money can make the difference between resting comfortably at night and worrying every day about your financial situation.

“Almost no one likes to pay taxes.  But it seems that most people are mis-informed about just how high taxes are today,” states Dr. Tim Connor, President of Connor Wealth Management.   Over 80% of those who took the Financial IQ Test believed that during the “good old days” of the Eisenhower administrations in the 1950s, taxes were lower than they are today.  But the fact is that the top income tax rate in those days was 90% !!!  The top federal bracket didn’t actually dip below 50% until the late 1980’s.    Today the top federal rate is 35%.  Who knows where taxes are headed in the next few years, says Dr. Connor, but he says that for his own retirement, he is planning for a higher-than-today tax climate.”

We are experiencing one of the worst economic downturns in years.   Unemployment in the double digits, stock market drops in the double digits, the number of home foreclosures is staggering, and everyone is confused as to what actions they should and should not take.  The economic landscape has changed and has opened up all kinds of questions about things that used to seem so certain: Are your savings safe? Should your retirement fund be invested in the stock market? Will you be able to afford your child’s college tuition? How will you pay your bills if you’ve been laid off?

Financial decisions should be based on what economic beliefs you have about the past, the present, and the future.  Will taxes go up or down?   How high can they go?   How high have they been?  Will we experience inflation?  How much?  This test helps one to understand the past …..

ABOUT CONNOR WEALTH MANAGEMENT:   Our firm specializes in helping those in or near retirement.  Our financial plans are designed to work intelligently in a world that will continue to see market volatility, will see taxes rise, and will see inflation return.  Accordingly, to a very large degree, our plans shift market risk to others, invest to protect against inflation, and invest to minimize future taxes.  Most of all, our plans are designed such that the client can understand it.  Sophisticated planning, but simple.  We honed our skills in academia, government, and consulting to the largest financial institutions worldwide.  Now, we focus on providing excellent service to select clients.

Get Creative with Cake Toppers

September 21st, 2011

21st September 2011 – Whether it is a grand wedding or a small one, a wedding cake is an essential part of it, and so are the cake toppers.

There is a wide variety of designs, colors and patterns to choose from, which can give a glimpse into the life and chemistry of the couple.

Over the years, people have been using the traditional styles and designs for toppers. The most common topper is the groom in a tuxedo and bride in a wedding gown holding each other’s hand. Alternatively, simple monogram topper where the name of the couple is written is also widely used. However, with changing time, people have become more open about using unconventional designs.

By unconventional, one need not necessarily make something unacceptable, but simply break the old set trend and go for something new and unique. That is how comical or humorous toppers started making its hold on the wedding cake market.

One can get a humorous topper reflecting a joyful moment or a fact about the couple, for instance if the couple met each other accidently at a masquerade party, it can be reflected by portraying beautiful masked couple on the topper. Many things that are more comical can be included as a topper as long as they convey the right sentiment and story.

One can even get creative with the conventional designs by changing the attire of the bride and groom. Suppose the groom is a soccer player, so instead of the groom in tuxedo, get him on his favorite soccer team’s jersey. Similarly, if the bride is a professional dancer, then instead of a wedding gown portray her in her typical dancing outfit.

There is no end to getting creative with such ideas for toppers. One just has to make sure that it matches with the couple and ambiance. Hence, the right colors and pattern must be chosen which goes well with the rest of the decoration. It should not become awkward or outrageous in an attempt to portray the story. With these things in mind, creative cake toppers can really add to the unforgettable moments in the lives of couples.
