Well, they’ve now released CleverAndy.com to the masses and I have to say that it is really quite clever. Those designs we create - for clients or even for ourselves that end up scrapped because they just don’t seem to fit or are overlooked, depending on what you’ve created.

I’ve got a few.

I think I’m going to submit them and see what happens I am just thinking of ways to increase my “multiple streams” of income - and this might be the way to do it. At CleverAndy.com they’ll take the designs and code it for clients they find.

I’m not quiet sure at this moment how much of a percentage the theme would make - is it per client? Not sure, more reading is required. But I mean, if you’ve got designs just sitting around not doing anything and for that matter probably won’t be used again - why not send it along and make something from it rather than nothing.

I’ll see what happens when I’ve submitted one for review and keep you posted.

Ok, I’m not sure what’s so clever with CleverAndy.com but they got a very interesting landing page that made me want to sign up to find out more…

I know nothing about them - I’m assuming they’re a design firm and I guess the way they wrote it made me think - what the heck… I do want to learn more about whatever it is they’re selling… offering.

The Landing Page

I have to say this is one of the better landing pages I’ve seen.  Clever Andy wasn’t using any big red text at the top and didn’t try to schmooze any cash out of me either - it was (for me_) the ultimate email collection page around.  Just the other day I got an email from them where they still DON’T tell you what it is they’re offering, but it drives me mental that I still want to KNOW what it is they’re offering.

So I’m still on their mailing list.

Defintiely a refreshing take on that sort of marketing.

What do you like and not like about landing pages?  What would pull you in to give up your email address?

Stop by CleverAndy.com and see what I mean - you don’t have to sign up but it’s pretty clever.

Well I don’t know what to do - or why it’s not working, but Chris has mentioned that he can’t see my RSS feed in his reader.  I’ve currently got Sage as my Feed reader and it’s showing up fine.  I’m curious if there is anyone else out there who’s not seeing my feed.

That might not even be the question to ask… because, well, if this RSS feed isn’t working - you won’t be notified.

LOL.  What a dilemma.

So - I guess - if you do see this post - could you let me know which RSS reader you’re using.  If you’ve come by this site because you’ve bookmarked the site in another way and can’t see the RSS feed - LET ME KNOW!

Thanks

You may have seen this ad in the sidebar of my site.  I’d read about the ebook at IttyBiz.com and since I really enjoy Naomi’s site - I figured it would be a product to promote.

Of course… me being me, I sat on the fence for a few weeks wondering whether or not I should purchase the ebook.  Serious contemplation on whether or not I should shell out the $14 for it and read it.  I think I’m jaded with my experience with bad ebooks.

I have to tell you right this minute.  I LOVE THIS BOOK.  I can’t tell you what a relief it was to read it.  As I go through my blog here, I seriously think all I do is prattle on about how I have such a hard time organizing my time and being more productive.  I end up failing miserably and feel like the end of the online world is coming for me and crushing me with RSS feeds and project deadlines.  Scary.

But the Todoodlist offers a great story about letting go of the gadgets and gizmos and spending more time with a notebook and a pencil can provide more peace of mind and get us more productive with our online projects.

I’ve been overwhelmed with everything lately and quiet honestly I needed a plan on how to get rid of that feeling - it was totally taking over everything, I am totally distracted at work with everything I’m trying to do in any free time I have in the evenings, the projects are taking over my life, and the fact that I totally feel burnt out by it all.  I knew I needed to change something - and I just couldn’t figure out “how” to do it - where there was going to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

So I bought the ebook.  It offers 3 ways to organize and get projects done that aren’t confusing and 1 of the ways I would never have thought of - and would totally make sense.  It’s amazing what happens when you actually write it down and visualize what needs to be done.  Writing it down in a notebook - totally makes sense - I can take my thoughts and ideas with me and write whenever the urge strikes me and I have the three ways to get organized at my fingertips.

It’s a head-shaker to realize that we can get totally wrapped up in the rush to get things done.  It’s nice to know that there are SIMPLE solutions to de-stress and get things done.

The ebook took about an hour to read… probably would take less time if I hadn’t been writing tips down so I could refer to them whenever I wanted to.  It’s got great stories like “Zen Kitten in a Box” and “Parrots in Space”.

So if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed like me and you’re looking for new ways to simplify how things are done to be more productive with your online work - I highly recommend checking out Nick Cernis’ ebook… all it takes is $14

Ok, I now think my RSS feed is back up and running.  I’m thinking I might have created a glitch with the RSS feed ads that I was hoping to run with OIOPublisher.  I am guessing the problem is that I’m also running a RSS feed ad with TextLinkAds - and there they collided and made my RSS life hell.

So I’ve removed the one with OIOPublisher - and everything should now be good to go.  No wonder I saw a bit of a drop in my readership… a totally slap upside the head moment for yours truly.

So what’s been new with me the last few days - not a whole hell of a lot.  I’ve got that beautiful to-do list sitting in front of me and I’ve been doing a massive procrastination!  Just figuring that it’s going to be a bit painful - so rather than just doing what’s on the list… I prolong the agony.

LOL.

Ugh.
