Online Community Magazines applicant interview went well. Now only time will tell if he can get his 10 initial clients on board.

Meeting w/an Online Community Magazines applicant who wants to run one in California. He's a perfect candidate who's not afraid of sales!

Need to work on a new video overview of the Commercial Creation Center with the newest social media & social networking features.

I was interviewed about Commercial Creation Center by Greg Cryns of WorkAtHomeProfiles.com. Check it out: http://ping.fm/5G3kk

Can anyone help w/cross marketing strategies?These are my thoughts: http://ping.fm/59QhB (page isn't public)

Was going to do new Commercial Creation Center overview video w/ newest features, but too tired & head and chest hurt from coughing.

Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, Pownce & Revision3 is on cover of Inc. Magazine. Will do a Brain Storm Business Podcast on it this week.

Received an application to run an Online Community Magazine this morning from someone who looks very qualified. Would love it to work out.

To fix fuzzy video website players, look at the code and change the width to 320 and the height to 290. Your videos will be much clearer.

Tip for people who use embed code from video sites: most players are larger than the standard 320 x 240 video, so your video is fuzzy.

Uploaded the Commercial Creation Center Promo video to the video sites on TubeMogul. http://ping.fm/I7hg8

Wish TubeMogul could post videos to Twiddeo and Facebook. So many programming ideas for the Commercial Creation Center!

Had new form of old dream: Was American Idol contestant but didn't attend mandatory classes because I was consumed with my software biz!

Still looking to partner w/Info Product coaches & teachers who can offer the Commercial Creation Center as an info product creation tool.

Thanks to Sheronde Glover for sending me her Commercial Creation Center video on YouTube. http://ping.fm/YUUKw

Exhausted from registering at social networking & media sites that work with Ping.fm, and not even done! But it should be worth it.

Community Directories Site is Up, and Boy Am I Tired

One of my niche market Podcast Directory owners wrote to me tonight and mentioned how there were so many money-making possibilities with the Directory, he was going crazy not being able to act on all of them at the same time. I told him I definitely empathize.

I have the Family Friendly Podcast Directory, but I started that not to make money, but just to create a refuge from the original podcasters that were so enamored with the fact that the FCC couldn't touch what they said that they used vulgarity just because they could. I remember contacting one Podcaster and asking him (personally, not professionally) why he used vulgarity in his podcast. He told me because he could. He then admitted, however, that the newness of it wore off quickly, and he realized he was cutting himself off from a lot of listeners by doing so. I think he eventually gave it up.

Anyway, back to my story. I have been spending time studying and contacting who is big in Family Friendly "stuff" on the internet. (By the way, I Googled Family Friendly, and lo and behold, there my directory was!) I had already done keyword research on Family Friendly and found out NOBODY searches for those words. And yet there are tons of sites and articles and businesses that feature and promote Family Friendly stuff.

So how do I get people to find and visit my Directory if they are not searching for it? I want to give my Family Friendly Podcasters a lot of exposure, and also let those that care about that type of content KNOW that we are here. If they are not searching for "Family Friendly" stuff, how will they find me? (This kind of stuff keeps me up at night, if you haven't noticed.) So I spend time on it.

Then I have my new, consolidated website which I figured I would finish today. That didn't happen. I spent all day working on the Community Directories specs, rotating gif and accompanying web page. I needed to get that up because I purchased an ad on the International Virtual Women's Chamber of Commerce (to which I proudly belong), and so I had to put the site up to match the .gif.

Then I need to start preparing for my own Community Directory which I will be running for Cherokee County, GA. There's also another online business that I am partnering on, and have to work on getting those specs together as well. I've got one of my websites that is down and the person responsible for fixing it hasn't been able to do that yet, and isn't around. That's another headache I'm not thrilled about.

So my head is spinning with "stuff" - podcasting stuff (that reminds me - I need to post on Podcaster Central Network at Ryze that I want to start interviewing business podcasters), Community stuff, website stuff, advertising stuff. So much stuff that even though I may accomplish a lot, there's still so much stuff left undone. (Does anyone ever search for "stuff"? If so, I may end up on Page 1 on Google if I keep writing like this.)

But at least the Community Directory site IS up. If you know of anyone who would like to run a home-based online business for their community - a combination community magazine, directory, internet tv station and internet radio station - send them my way. I'm looking for 25 charter members (well, I have 23 left, with me taking one, and Houston, TX already taken) - and the money making possibilities are unlimited. So shoot me an email, or tell someone else about it and have THEM shoot me an email. Then everyone can make money and be happy (or something like that).

Well, enough about that. Happy New Year to everyone. I'll end my ramblings there. Until next time, good night and happy podcasting.

Penny Haynes, That Podcasting Site
