Search Coupon Sites For Discount Codes

“Before I make any purchase online, I always search some online coupon sites for discount codes first.  Retail Me Not, Coupon Shack and My Coupons are my favorites.  Some of the coupons can even be printed out and used in-store also.”

How High Is YOUR Bar Set?

The excerpt below is from Mack Collier’s blog.

The post struck a chord with me tonight as I reflect on our day, our week and my new journey in Community Sherpa.

I share it with you as an example of a good blog post:

  • A strong headline draws me in with an open-ended question
  • A compelling story evokes emotion and triggers personal memories
  • An image supports the compelling headline
  • A call to action invites me to try something new

I think the lesson is to remember that you sometimes need to lower the bar to encourage interaction.  It could be on your blog, your community site, Twitter, where ever. Believe it or not, there really ARE people out there that have never left a comment on a blog.  AND some of them are a bit intimidated at the idea. Read the full story…

Are you moving the bar?

Use Free Office Productivity Software

“Instead of costly productivity tool applications from Microsoft, use equivalent free tools.  Google offers free versions of email, word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet applications.  Sun offers a suite of free productivity tools called the OpenOffice Suite, including a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation application.  Mozilla offers a free email client, Thunderbird, which does most of the things Microsoft Outlook does.”

I switched to Gmail from Outlook two years ago and have never looked back. Which applications from Google do you most often use? If you’re still purchasing productivity tools, what keeps you from switching?
