Advertisement: Vacation Site
Posted by Jo | Filed under Paid Ads
Here’s another vacation site, in this case advertising a Costa Rica Vacation. They include lots of pictures and some information about the resorts, so I can see how this might be a handy starting point if you’re looking for an exotic location in which to set your next novel or short story.
As an aside, I [...]

Here’s what I’ve learned about Blogitive.
It doesn’t matter if your post really has a lot to do with the web release. Some of the ones I’ve done had very little in common with the release, but they were approved.
The blog entries have to be on the main page, I think. I submitted one and got [...]
What type of men do your characters go for?
Posted by webmaster | Filed under Uncategorized
This is interesting. According to this study, women prefer masculine looking men (romance novel material) for short term relationships, but prefer more feminine looking men for marriage and long term relationships.
It makes me think about how I match people up in my novels. I don’t write romance, but my characters do often have romantic relationships. [...]
Law Firm Advertisement
Posted by Jo | Filed under Paid Ads
Here’s another Blogitive ad. I’ll be writing more about Blogitive later.
Simmons, Jannace & Stagg is a LLP that practices in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. I wonder about the reasons why a law firm would buy link advertising. Does a law firm need to boost their search engine rankings? I guess in the internet [...]
Automatic Book Marketing
Posted by Jo | Filed under Promotion
I’ve mentioned the flylady website before. She has a new book out, but you may already have seen it, since it’s been hovering around the top of Amazon’s chart for weeks. The book is Body Clutter.
This is a great example of using a market that you’ve already developed to sell a book. Marla Cilley (flylady) [...]
Writing Software

Check out this site for Scrivener, a very good looking piece of writing software. Before you get too excited, it’s available only for OS X (Mac), so if you’re a Windows person or Linux person, you’re out of luck.
Since I’m on Windows, I can’t use it either, but it looks terrific. I’d love to be [...]
Boston Condos
Posted by Jo | Filed under Paid Ads
This is another of the Blogitive ads I’ve been talking about. This one is just what it sounds like, Boston Condos. Also, the site looks relatively new, or perhaps they just have a lot of turnover. When I looked around earlier, they had one condo for sale, one for rent, and no vacation property.
I had [...]
Blogitive Review, Part 4

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/raisovic/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/orgSeries/orgSeries.php on line 188
As of now, I’ve gotten four new offers on Blogitive, so perhaps my complaint of no new offers yesterday was a bit premature.
Also, I had a second blog rejected because it’s less than ninety days old. I can understand their limitation; otherwise, it would be all too easy to start a host of blogs just [...]

Here’s the latest Blogitive update, for those who are interested.
I did the last post on the 21st and was paid today for all three. That’s good; they paid weekly as promised.
I submitted a second blog (a relatively new one of mine) last week and just got a response today. I thought that was a bit [...]
Get Your Gold Bars, Right Here…
Posted by Jo | Filed under Paid Ads
I find it odd, even amusing, that there are people out there who will purchase gold, gold bars or other precious metals and have them delivered to their homes. Now, I can understand the investing in precious metals, but having them delivered to your home? Granted, Monex does both, and I’m guessing that the vast [...]
