Webinar Wednesdays 1st Edition
My employer Webinar Resources is launching a new free webinar series. In the first edition of Webinar Wednesdays host Peter Muir of Bizucate Inc. will introduce the progressive multi-channel approach to successful event execution. Responding to the shift in the economy, as well as, methods of communication Muir proposes a revolution in the way business events are planned and structured. Moving away from the singularly focused traditional format to a phased and more engaged event strategy.
The webinar will cover how this approach was developed-identifying the weaknesses in the traditional format it aims to improve and the strengths it seeks to emphasize. The basic tenets of the new method and four main phases will also be briefly outlined. This will be your chance to hear about this exciting and fresh perspective of how to create truly successful event.

"Help! I'm using so many applications I'm losing
track of them all!"
Multi channel marketing is more important than ever before. Your audience is becoming increasingly segmented, and you have to open up more channels in order to be where the action is. Do you remember when just having a web site set you apart from the competition? Adding Facebook or Twitter to your multi channel mix used to be a cutting edge move - now social media applications have become so entrenched that Tweets like this one I saw this morning are possible - "Websites vs Facebook Pages: which URL should you promote?"
Social media applications, email accounts, blogs, web sites, shopping carts, payment gateways, CMSs, CRMs - all of these channels need feeding with new content and/or monitoring to make sure you are engaging with your audience and taking advantage of opportunities. You don't want an important email to languish in a little-used account, a sold merchandise item to go unshipped, a new lead ignored, or a question posted to a blog or Facebook page to go unanswered. How does one remember to check up on all these channels? Read more

Create an Indoor Water Garden
Do you have an empty aquarium handed down from someone who was formerly in the fishkeeping hobby? Are you eager to work on your outdoor garden but are frustrated because it's not warm enough yet? Do you like the idea of water gardening but don't have space for a pond? If so, here is a fun project you might enjoy. The suggested plants and animals are all easy to care for and would make good choices for beginners in aquarium keeping.

Featured Project from Carolyn's Stamp Store:
Convertible Necklaces
In the spring, a man's fancy might turn to love, but a woman's fancy turns to her wardrobe - am I right? This is the season to go through your closet, get rid of some old things, and bring in some new things. If you can't afford a lot of new things, accessories can really help jazz up your old outfits and make them more interesting. By making convertible necklaces, you can bring new life to an old necklace or make interchangeable parts for lots of combinations.
