What is Your dream in Life

May 15, 2011


We all have dreams, we all want to be accepted and become successful in life, lead, show leadership to our kids and provide them with opportunities in life. So how do we accomplish this? We all try to do this, but we have this ability to change our mind, it is an obstacle, we think we have but do we Nope not at all.  Why??

Simple, we are not focused on our desires and dreams nope we are not this is a problem, how do we fix it or revise it? The million dollar .question. The key is when you wake up in the morning, and you see yourself in that mirror in the bathroom you will see the problem. Your attitude needs to be adjusted, not that bad, you have the ability to change it, just need the desire to do it.

When you see yourself in that mirror, and you realize it, then you have the ability to perform at a different level. And make your dreams come true or goals, we do have this ability you know why l did it that way, my dad told me you like to see the problem, just go to the bathroom, and you will see the problem. "YEP IT WAS ME"

See it is all pretty simple it all starts on how we think and what we desire, question is what do you desire and what are you going to change to make it happen.

No magical dust for success
You need to follow what you will learn today
One day you may thank me, which
l know you will.

All the Best,

Goodbye to an idol and role model-Ron Springs

May 14, 2011

Today I learned of sad news out of Dallas TX. Former Cowboys Ron Springs running back passed away yesterday after a 4-year coma. I'm not much of a football fan, so I'll explain why this news is sad for me.

I grew up in what back then was a small city, Williamsburg VA. One thing Williamsburg did well in those days produced NFL Players. Or maybe I should say my old Alma mater Lafayette High School did it well. There was a point when three young men occupied the gridiron at the same time. Who could have know that all three would end up in the NFL?
Lawrence Taylor of the NY Giants, Mel Grey of the Philadelphia Eagles and Ron Springs of the Dallas Cowboys.

These three men belonged to us. Those of us who walked those halls identified with them. Then were role models to all of us and we sat in classes with siblings or cousins of these NFL Superstars. They were something big from our tiny little town, and we all claimed them with pride. Pride in our city and pride in our school.

I can still remember Ron walking across the stage in the auditorium on the day we had a special assembly to retire his jersey. And when he walked out on that stage it was not so big time celebrity, it was one of us. Ron was a Lafayette Ram, an alumni of our school. And he gave us something that day. Someone we could look up to as an example of success. We felt like we weren't some dinky little school in a backwater town, he gave us pride in who we were.

Today I found out that one of those bright lights, one of those icons of my youth is gone. He will be missed not just by his family but by those of us he belonged to as a fellow Ram. Rest in Peace Ron, you will always be an idol to us.

Thank you for taking the time Cheryl and writing a very particular article on one of life's real hero's, who gave it all, on the field and off the field. May god bless him and his family.

Getting Started with Video Marketing

May 13, 2011

Video Marketing is increasing at a very high rate. Just in May of 2010 Youtube exceeds over 2 billion viewers a day. Even though it is a new social media platform, it can still be used to market yourself, and it's FREE.

Okay, not 100% free because you still have to buy the equipment to make the video based on the type of video you are going to make. If it is just an introduction video with you talking, then you'll need a video camera or webcam. I would go with a webcam because they're cheaper but the quality is not all that great. If you're going to show others how to do something like and instructional video, then you don't need a video camera or a webcam. Online Instructional videos can be done using free desktop recording software like CamStudio. Camstudio is an excellent way to get started if you don't have a video camera of the webcam.

Once you have the tools to make your video, then start recording. When you're done, use Windows Movie Maker to do your editing. Windows Movie Maker is a free software that comes with most Windows computers now. It is an excellent way to add some animated effects to the video to be more attractive.

The next thing to do is upload the video to Youtube this is where you will add some annotation to the tape so the information will stay in front of your viewers. I have added an example of mine at CHECK THIS OUT

If you are marketing Click-bank ad, you can add an annotation to your video directing your viewers to check out a site, product or service. This type of marketing is not spamming and is easy to do, plus if you're showing a video, you don't have to feel like you're spamming people. What I also do is offer other video makers to add the annotation to their videos and provide a percentage of the sale. I have been very successful with this.

Don't feel like you need to go out and get yourself an expensive video camera just to start creating the video. There are other ways to get started that are less costly and will save you time and money.

All the Best,

Trying to Think of a Title, l guess This will do

May 5, 2011

Have not been as active as l should be here at APSense...have not written any "NEW" material until just now. I been watching all of the live streams, l may not always reply, but l watch. Read most of the articles posted unless it is another useless article on how l am going to be very productive and fruitful.

The APSense Team, created this site based on the ability of being able to share items that had benefits, to all our members. Capacity to express your view point, not how productive l am going to make you. That is not happening seen the way to my program that had the "Lick and a Promise."

To be honest with all of you l have just laid back and just watched, and quite frankly what l read is not all that original, has no feeling from the writer, meaning and certainly not free...This has had an effect on why l have not been as active as l have been.... Seen it all, almost from day one....most of us here have no idea, what APSense has to offer us.

Too busy looking for that magical dust, like the TV show "I dream of a Jennie" snap your finger and wow your wish has been commanded why most of us will never make a dime on the net we forget to plan our success, we feel it should come naturally not happening at all.

I see articles being topped that have no reason for receiving that honor, l see articles that have been written by other writers and no credit being applied to the original author. That's not right at all illegal to do that, on the internet. So l sit back and can not come up with a title tonight like l said this one will work.


Some may understand this article most will just not even figure out why l wrote it...
oh well, why not many make it on the internet.

All the Best,

What Makes Apsense so Different From other Social Sites

April 30, 2011

I feel like an absolute "NEW" member right at this very moment. I have been away from here, most of you know why nothing to do with APSense's at all, due to the loss of my dad back in early June of this year. I have been a member of Apsense since the beginning of the days, so do have an idea of what l am going to share with ALL who reads this. Since today is his Birthday, l decide to come back made perfect sense to me!

The reason l find it hard ever to leave for the very simple fact, you will not find any other Social Site you join the tools and the opportunity you have at your fingertips. Not a get rich site; no promises made towards your success and what l mean by that you can enjoy all the features for free if you decide to stick around. What good are all the characteristics, if you never learn how to use them effectively.

Getting back to my point on why l feel like a new member, for the changes and improvements that the team within Apsense has made for all of us to benefit the rewards from. How many other Social Sites change features and provide you with all the advantages you have here to use effectively as changes on the internet occur daily. I came back, and l was lost for about 32 seconds. l said wow this is entirely different; I tested the new stuff out one by one. Created my first Rev Page, checked out all the different areas l needed too.

Now how many people can say that about other sites having an impact with features that have been revised, improved and most of all able to promote you more efficiently than three months ago. Why they care, the more we work within Apsense, the more back links we created with in the web. Sorry, what is the cost again for being a member. Not necessary most will never upgrade or be able to effectively use the system, but we need them also. TWhy you fail, actually at any site.

Learn the system here at Apsense, promote your product with out having to use Spam. Set up your profile is the very first step in our community, use your real picture. People will buy from a real person, not from some dumb picture that has been posted by you. You're in business to make money, l hope l am correct, and you have this burning desire for success. If you understand what l just wrote, you will go back to your home page and review your Business Center.


Success comes to all who have a burning desire, means one thing was working smart within the team, learning from other members, joining groups. By the way, l created a couple of groups and planned on carrying out each and every missions statement l promised all who joined one of my groups. Yea l been away but not l am back, going to make sure Apsense becomes the biggest Social Site in the industry. See if this happens several things will happen you will all become very successful, if you learn what Apsense will teach you and what you get to form other members.

I am going to add links and reliable information to make sure you all become successful and re start my journey on making Apsense the most successful Social Site on the internet. But l need your loyal support and a burning desire to chase a dream that will all have. Starts right after you read this blog, you need to do one thing in life change your attitude. If you're in for the money not happening, you need to earn it before you can have it then you can spend it, buy things and enjoy a beautiful life with money.

Over the next few days, i will revise this blog and promote it.


All the Best,

Get Connected

April 26, 2011

"How Can You Earn an Income on the Internet"

There is only one basic answer to that question for me, and that is to "Get Connected."
Everyone is getting connected, so you better think about comparing yourself and your business to everyone!

Since the inception of the internet our world of commerce has changed drastically and social media with all it's various forms are becoming or should I say have become the dominant form of interaction. Online tools like pod-casts, blogs, search engines, video, and audio, just to name a few have been deployed into media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Apsense along with marketing sources such as About.me offer realistic ways to get involved and productive for yourself and your business. It is the new media, the "me media" or "you media" for marketing in this new age of business.

Connecting your business to other firms, clients, and potential customers are essential as the old rules of business won't help you much. Survival depends on connecting, creating "real" value, speaking authentically and building trust with everyone. And everyone means your customers, colleagues and ~ yes ~ even your competitors.

So let's go back to ~ How Can You Earn an Income on the Internet? ~ then just sit and think for a minute - and ask yourself:
"How are you going to build your business and get your name out there?"
Well, first you must understand that business has been forced or is being obliged to change and this, in turn, changes everything we know about business and how you are going to have to connect yourself, your brand, your products, and your services. Your game plan will be to spread the word and your message far and wide; consider it has become a global market for yourself and your business. Part of that plan is to understand your 'target market" and connect with them and then build a relationship.

We all have access to the new technology, the internet, and the new age mobile devices that are out there, and these are the tools which connect you. Using these tools in conjunction with the social media tools I mentioned previously are the channels that will work for you as you work to add value, your voice and the ability to connect with your consumers; so Engage~Inform~Educate by taking part in the social communities available. It's driven by the time you need to invest, not so much by the money that you invest.

The people that are connecting and doing so through these tools and channels are growing their personal brand and their business and are rivaling some of the biggest corporations on the planet. You have the size, the power, the audience and the influence to become the entrepreneur you desire. Connect, communicate, share and grow your business and you will find the implications are massive. You as an individual and a company owning entrepreneur have only one choice: get involved, build your awareness and combine everything and you can eclipse your competition.


So - how can you earn an income on the internet - simple:
Get Connected!

Do you believe lazy marketers can be educated

April 25, 2011

Very well written article by one of the senior writers at APSense, take the time to review and leave a comment for feedback on this article written by Philippe Moisan

First, let me define what I mean by a lazy marketer. It's a person who will in do one or many of the following things:

1. Send a link to you in a PM right after accepting your contact request
2. Send a contact request to you, and then send a link in a PM right after you received
3. Post a link as a comment in your article
4. Post 2-word comments like "great info", "good article", "nice site"
5. Copy and paste parts of the content of your article as a comment
6. Puts truckloads of links in profile, no personal info at all
7. "I will add bio later."
8. Writes very short articles
9. Puts only a banner as the article content
10. Copies an article from another source and doesn't reveal he/she is not the original author
11. Repeats in the "write review" section of a RevPage what was written in the "About" section
12. Joins "add a comment" campaigns writing the same comment in every campaign, what I call a pass-through comment
13. Writes a testimonial to a member but doesn't mention anything specific about the member, or worse, advertises something
14. Jumps from one program to another instead of working the programs he/she is part of
15. Puts a link into the status
16. Creates a group but doesn't post subjects
17. Will put only minimal info in his/her APSense Business Center ( ABC )

I'm sure I could find other things to add to the list. I expect people were reading the article will make suggestions. They are welcome to do so. I will top your comments.

Now, some people believe that marketers that practice these ways of "building" a business can't or won't change.

I believe otherwise. Of course, I don't expect to be able to make every lazy marketer change habits. But if I'm successful at educating just a few, well, to me, it's worth the effort.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see less lazy marketing at APSense nowadays. I'm not saying there is none at all. But it mostly comes from new members who:

* Think they can get away with it
* Are not well informed as to the proper ways of doing business
* Are in a hurry to have other members join their programs

Do you take the time to say politely to someone sending you a link in a PM that you don't accept unsolicited links? I've done that many times. I've rarely been blocked afterwords. Those that are upset, I guess it would have been a waste of time to try to build a relationship with that person in the first place.

Are you afraid to use the "report abuse" link? Don't be. Nothing bad will happen to you. Back in the last months of 2010, not only did I use the link repeatedly, but Dawie and I used to go spam hunting. We found some wicked fun in doing so. Any member who had abused an article soon became known as a nonserious marketer.

When I see a link to the status, I click the "Add comment" in the News Feed and suggest to the member that it might be better to post something else to get better attention from important members.

Don't put truckloads of links in your profile. I believe most members will just pass by, cause they'll see you as someone who is int interested in building relationships. Realize we are all marketers at APSense. There are tens of thousands of us, with more than 150 new members every day.

The ABC is an awesome resource for someone not having his/her website. Learn to use it. Look at what other members have done, be inspired by their efforts.

Please don't use testimonials as a spam tool. It can be so much valuable. You'll see, after some time, when many people get to know and appreciate you, you'll get testimonials, and you'll understand the value.

Writing 2-word comments is useless. Please, just top the article. Seeing a ton of "good article" in comments is not something a serious marketer looks forward to. We want to know something about you, or if you share additional information, people will look forward to your articles.

Writing very short articles doesn't look very professional. There are exceptions, like when we just put an Easter Bunny, that's enjoyable. :)

Written By

Philippe Moisan

Building an online business is not a hobby. It's something that can have significant ramifications in your life if you treat it as such. In the long run, that's what you will see.

In conclusion, yes, I do believe lazy marketers can be educated.

All the Best,
