Misspelled Words While Blogging!

There are two reasons why I am writing this blog. The first has to do with being an educator and correcting 6th graders on their punctuation and spelling (meaning incorrect spelling is a GIANT PET PEEVE) while I was teaching in Alhambra. The second has to do with my mother who always, so graciously, would correct every wrong word spelled, in every location we went(Born To Spell)! I remember walking into the local bank my senior year in High School and they had a word spelled wrong on the white board. My mother kindly spoke with the manager of the bank, who didn’t believe her that the word was spelled incorrectly, and then got a dictionary to show my mother that she was wrong. My mother gleamed as the dictionary was pulled out and the manager was put to shame. Sure showed me that spelling is important in every business.

But what does misspelled words have to do with blogging?

I found this WONDERFUL website (or so I would have thought) called Hot Topic Blogs. It actually pulled up first in my Google search (remember I am a Google addict) and that means it has the rankings which I highly admire. Looks like a great site and even pulls up as the “rick, niche” blogging site. The first sentence on this site says, “

Niche Market Research Methods: The first module of the Rich Niche Blogging Training is now launched. It took a long time to get organised but it was released yesterday very quietly as I’m still testing out a few things. But I’m really excited to tell you about it.

Did you catch it? ORGANISED? Right there, I stopped reading the blog and questioned whether the author was educated in any way and/or why they didn’t do spell check ( a simple button to help those lacking spelling abilities). I can’t go on. I would love to find my rich, niche in blogging and training, but I just can’t do it. The website is selling a book and I don’t want this book because the author cannot spell. I can’t get passed these people and these sites who are trying to “EDUCATE” and “TEACH” people how to use the internet when in turn, can’t spell. Any joe-schmo can write a book and post it for pay on the internet, but remember if you are writing a book, you need to show your true background and demeanor through your writing, which includes correct punctuation and spelling.

I will confuse that I do read to find mistakes in spelling, but come on, we have proof readers, engineers, web site hosts, web masters, friends, family members, and spell check! This is the internet, a place where we have to read and put the words, faces, and expressions in our head. With the misspelling of words, it just lowers the readers thinking of your IQ level and actual education behind the company. So Blog away, blog far, but spell the words correctly!

 

Maybe next time we will talk about CAPITALS and when to use them

Kim Power Stilson Does It, Again!

I finally finished and here we go!  I call it Make, Bake, Shake, Rake & Fresh and it is the story of how a Woman turns 17 year dream into solution for small businesses.

 

 

July 26, 2008—Woodland Hills, UT & Dunmore East, Ireland

 

Kim Power Stilson, mother, at home entrepreneur and dual-citizen releases new education guide to give small business owners competitive edge to marketing their products online.

 

Kim Power Stilson literally delivered her third child while working in the corporate world.  She wanted to spend more time at home with them so she developed a solution that helped her company gain 150% increase in name awareness taking them from 126^th in the industry to top 3 in nine months, coming 60% under budget, bringing in $50 million in ordered sales and funding and  . . . the real success, a promotion which “allowed” her to work from home a few days a week. 

 

Hearing of her success her small business owner friends asked for her marketing help she knew there had to be a way for them to promote their products without the high corporate staff and price tag. 

 

Kim came up with a plan she simply called, Make, Bake, Shake, Rake & Fresh and used that strategy to help her company, her clients and her friends succeed.  Kim went on to become one of the first women to pioneer Internet talk radio and she helped over 107,000 people promote their products online.   During this time her goal was always to find time to write a guide which would allow her to help thousands more.  Today she is pleased to announce the release of her two new marketing guides and a workbook which allow any small business owner to quickly have a marketing strategy and the tools to promote their business online and traditionally. 

 

Her guides, “24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing Strategy Guide and Workbook” and the “Get online Blog, Ping, Pod, Stream, Bookmark, Blast, Release, Wiki, Widget, Web, Link, Avatar, Tag and Twitter!  What is it and how do I do it?” are now available with a FREE excerpt at www.powerstratgies.TV . 

 

According to Kim, who now works at home very successfully with teenagers in the house says that every person can choose the life they want to lead and make money while doing it by marketing their business. 

 

“Marketing is essential but it does not have to be expensive rocket science,” said Power Stilson.  “Women and family-owned business can make money by marketing their products online and offline without a large budget and while at home.  I worked through labor and delivery of one of my kids and my goal in life is to prevent any women from ever having to do that! I promise this will help.”

 

Both guides and the workbook are offered in Green-style online in a PDF  version, as well as, a robust video, audio, Internet, Web, Social Media & Marketing certified education course.   (Prices range from $240 – $2400 with certification.)
