My online store, Down Memory Lane Treasures:
http://www.downmemorylanetreasures.com/ is coming along
quite nicely. If anyone on your Christmas list is a Betty
Boop or Elvis fan, loves old hard to find movies, etc.
you need to check it out and watch it grow.

My other focus lately has been on the revamping of a
site I have had almost as long as Rim Digest ( which will
celebrate EIGHT years on February 10, can ya belive it?)

I have always been a "digital junkie" since my first
ebook download and have joined probably every free and
most paid member sites to amass a HUGE collection of
downloable gems. My partner, Sharon, once again came to
my rescue and is redoing the site and adding the newest
and freshest products we can find. I invite you to check
out the unveiling of this work in progress, and just in
time for the holidays, that category is ready:
http://www.softwarewarrioress.com/

I have spent the past month, 3 or 4 hours per day,
opening all of my downloads ( over 40 Gig total )
and dumping all of the old stuff, even ones I never
saw promoted anywhere, and adding the newest stuff
to folders on the site so my beloved partner can
make the category pages and the files for each.
She is a wonder and if you ever doubt real friendships
can be formed "on the net" we can, almost 9 years
later, attest to YES, they surely can! She gets
TOTAL CREDIT for the design AND all of the work on
this site so please, check it out and send
your kudos to mailto:rimdigest@usa.net?subject=Sharon

Below is an article on getting some free traffic to
your sites and in that same frame of *mind* I invite
you to check out this offer:
http://www.softwarewarrioress.com/newbies/listbuildingvideos.html

and for any who are interested, I will reward any takers
on this item or any other at the digital store a free
featured ad, $20 value, per item over $15 that you buy.
Spend $100 or more and get a free solo ad!

Featured Article

How To Generate Traffic Using Only Free Methods

Putting up a company would, of course, require capital.
It takes money to make money. Period. But, with the
versatility the internet offers, there are many ways
you can find that could help optimize the potential
of your site or business in generating traffic.

There are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows and the
good news is, you don’t have to spend a cent! Using the
proper mindset, drive and perseverance to do hard work
and research you CAN generate more traffic for your site.

It is possible to have more traffic for your site without
spending a single cent. It may take time, and you do usually
get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at
least you get a fighting chance with some of these free
methods I’m about to tell you about.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities.
The great thing about forums and online communities is
that you can target a certain group that fits the
demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss
lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer.
Another great advantage is that you know what you are
getting into and you will be prepared.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation
for your company. Show them what you are made of and impress
them with your range of expertise about the subject. This will
also help you build trust with the people in your niche.

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a
catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining
articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining,
more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it
to other people. The more people who sign up for your
newsletter, the more people there will be that will go
to your site, increasing your traffic.

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t
have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement
with another webmaster. Exchanging links will benefit both
sites. The traffic arriving at each site could potentially
benefit both sites. Try finding sites that compliment, but
do not compete, with your programs or products.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that
have interest in your product. Provide tips and guides to
other online workers or shoppers. Writing articles that
provide good service and knowledge would add to the mileage
your traffic flow needs.

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles.
When people find interest in your articles they will often
visit to see where the article originated. Include a link
or a brief description of your company with the article and
invite your readers to go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down
the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are
used. Generally, internet users use search engines to find what
they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword
searching in aiding their search results. With the right
keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine
results without the costs.

All of these methods can drive more traffic to your site for
free. All it takes is a bit of effort and some devoted time.
Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you
may soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the
usual costs that can come with it.

Positive Quotes

Faith that the thing can be done is essential
to any great achievement.

-- Thomas N. Carruther


and

Pa always said a man had to look spry for himself,
because nobody else would do it for him;
your opportunities didn't come knocking around,
you had to hunt them up and hog-tie them.

Sad News

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world
at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of
a very important person, which almost went unnoticed
last week. Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote
"The Hokie Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him
into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the
trouble started.


thanks, Kent :-)

Liquidating my brick and mortar store and my loss is your gain!
