My Life as a Non-Closer in a Direct Sale, MLM World

I enjoy writing. It is a very soothing experience for me. Well, at least most of the time. Recently, I decided to explore other ways to make money from home. I joined a company as an "Independent Distributor." As it turns out, that was a huge learning experience that continues to teach me something new each day.

The company I joined has some amazing products (body wraps and health-related supplements). I have really enjoyed those and will continue to enjoy them. My issue at this point is that I have discovered that I am not really a "closer." I don't like to push people. If you say you want something, great. If you actually buy it, even better. I don't think that hounding someone is a good way to conduct business.

That only hurts the people who are trying to make a living.

How to archive Lotus Notes

Lotus Notes emails are subject to certain disk space limitations. When you aren't ready to delete emails, but are running out of room for them on the program, you should consider archiving the notes. This will enable you to have easy access to the emails without having to print them all out.


When you archive Lotus Notes, the notes will be stored on your computer. Because of this, it is vital to ensure that you have enough memory to accommodate the transfer before starting it. You can always opt to move the emails over to an external hard drive if you are worried about taking up too much space on your computer.

Boosting your website's value through proper SEO marketing

As a freelance writer, I often get clients who tell me they want SEO articles. I decline a large portion of these potential clients simply because I don't believe in the type of SEO marketing they are trying to do. There isn't anything wrong with SEO. In fact, SEO marketing is a very effective tool to help a business grow as long as it is used properly.
