Every once in a while I like to treat myself to something special. During these economically trying times for me it has been few and too far in between the little treats I've been able to buy myself. I'm hoping for great success with my real estate endeavors. It seems my website is getting some hits but I want the conversions.
The last time my website enjoyed a great amount of hits on a consistent basis I enjoyed more real estate closings. I'm tired of being frugal. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to spend money again. Maybe not like its water as before but at least like it is a slow leak.
I'm really missing getting my hair, nails, eye lashes, pedicures and all the other pampering I love to get on a more than regular basis done on a regularly scheduled basis. I've learned to skimp on spending. I've learned to buy products I never ever otherwise would have ever even tried. The big reason is price. Over the past week I have been seeking gainful employment once more. I'm looking to at least get a well paying part-time position doing something to help me during the lean times. Especially to assist with covering the world of fees involved with being self-employed. My future goals are to invest more in real estate anyways. I want my computer related services company to be a growth venture. I'm hoping one day several of the domains I've purchased will be worth their rank in gold.
I signed up for the VirginiaGetOnline.com initiative and got a new domain via that for free "WebStylesVA.com" for my computer related services company. I put a link on my website to the initiative. If it's free it's for me and I hope others can get online and reap the rewards as well.
I figured out the ePropertySites.com website where I post all my listings to offers a free website as well. The direct domain is lruffin.remarkableagent.com but I have a domain entitled BuyHomeAuctions.com pointing to it. This was a calculated decision in that most buyers (which I need a lot of) normally start their search off with "Buy Home..." to the tune of millions per looking at keyword popularity. So I pointed it to BuyHomeAuctions.com to capture buyer interest.
Over the past couple of days (see chart above) I've been real pleased with my website metrics. Additionally, I've been pleased with the performance of my blog activity. Two of the blogs I have written most recently on here and ActiveRain have gotten some attention. Now out of all the blogs I've written I was sort of surprised those two seem to be the chosen ones sort of speak. However, in this online world you never know. A lot of times it is the words which are trending which seem to get the most Google Juice. Whatever it is I'm thankful. I have been trending links to "Trunk or Treat" activities, ideas, and local information which I'm sure is the reason for the increased web traffic as well. Even though it required a lot of time revising ads and online advertising campaigns it is definitely a treat to my efforts are having some success.
We know some treats costs and others are free. It always seems those free ones often times have the most value intrinsically. I am truly thankful and grateful my LynneRuffin.com website has escalated to seeing one of its best months ever in site activity. I see I really need to take the time and design a good lead capture campaign. I need to incorporate a lead capture form where the leads come directly to me.
A special treat of the week is the pair of earrings I purchased today for a dollar. They are very trendy. I went to get them as a pick me up. Shopping is always a pick me up. New things always offer a treat for hope. Additionally, even though it was cold today I used one of my coupons for a free ice cream cone as a treat today.
It being so close to Halloween I'm just thinking treats, treats, treats.
Have a Happy Halloween, I hope its all treats!!!

Any successful marketer knows you have to at least keep up your promotions and advertising campaigns during the lean times. It is important to keep your image out in public as much as possible so as they get better it will not require starting from scratch again.
