			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-94" title="3ways_free" src="http://ilkaflood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/3ways_free-150x150.png" alt="3ways_free" width="150" height="150" />Twitter is actually pretty easy and lots of fun. But, there are a few things that you absolutely shouldn&#8217;t do or you will loose your followers. However, on a daily basis I see people do them.</p>
<p>Perry Belcher is giving away his secret of how he went from ZERO to 130,000 followers in just 9 short month. He gets <strong>10 times as many</strong> Twitter followers as the average person does and <strong>with less effort</strong>. And there&#8217;s a reason for that. It&#8217;s so simple and yet it makes total sense. You can download his <a href="https://touchstone.infusionsoft.com/go/3ways/moustaki/" target="_blank">free report here</a>.</p>
<p>He will also show you step-by-step how you can do the exact same thing. You will be amazed when you find out how he did it. I know I was. I couldn&#8217;t stop watching the videos. Actually, I watched them a couple of times.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-96" title="cheatsheets" src="http://ilkaflood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cheatsheets.gif" alt="cheatsheets" width="504" height="213" /></p>
<p>See those two &#8216;Cheat Sheets above? It took Perry eight hours to draw those, but they explain pretty much how he does it all. You can download these Cheat Sheets <a href="https://touchstone.infusionsoft.com/go/3ways/moustaki/" target="_blank">here</a>. They cost you nothing. Nada. They&#8217;re totally free. So are the training videos. So go get them now and start building your Twitter followers fast&#8230;and the right way!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://twitterlistbuilder.com/lovenuriche/video" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-87" style="margin: 0px 10px;" title="twitterlistbuilder_pic" src="http://ilkaflood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/twitterlistbuilder_pic1-150x150.png" alt="twitterlistbuilder_pic" width="150" height="150" /></a>Here&#8217;s a great tool for you if you are in to tweeting and want to automate some of the things you normally do on Twitter. <a href="http://twitterlistbuilder.com/lovenuriche/video" target="_blank">Twitter List Builder</a> is a pretty cool tool to build your followers list quickly.</p>
<p>If you <a href="http://twitterlistbuilder.com/lovenuriche/video" target="_blank">watch the video</a> it will show you how you can easily and automatically build a list of thousands of followers with just a click of a button and 100% FREE. You activate the software by posting one simple tweet and you will automatically follow the seven people below you. And when you send people to your unique referral link they will follow you automatically too. And so on.</p>
<p>The best part though, in my opinion, are the step-by-step Twitter tutorial videos that teach you such things as&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Setting up your Twitter account</li>
<li>Creating your own Twitter background picture</li>
<li>Adding your own custom Twitter background</li>
<li>How to get Tweeps (Followers)</li>
<li>How to combine Email &amp; Twitter</li>
<li>How to combine Blogging &amp; Twitter</li>
<li>It goes over the most popular Twitter Tools that make life so much easier</li>
<li>Shows you Twitter Traffic Tips</li>
<li>Shows you how to make money with Twitter</li>
<li>&#8230;and so much more!</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen other Twitter Tutorials but I believe <a href="http://twitterlistbuilder.com/lovenuriche/video" target="_blank">Twitter List Builder</a> is by far the best. It gets &#8220;two thumbs up!&#8221; in my book.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitterlistbuilder.com/lovenuriche/video" target="_blank">Check it out!</a></p>
<p>Happy tweeting!</p>

<p>Maybe I should rename this blog &#8220;My Dog Blog&#8221;, because here&#8217;s another post about dogs. But simply put, dogs aren&#8217;t just great companions who give us their unconditional love, regardless, they are also very smart and great teachers. We could learn a ton from them&#8230;if we&#8217;d only be willing.</p>
<p>This story landed in my inbox from a very successful business man, <a href="http://paulspublicityblog.com/" target="_blank">Paul Hartunian</a>, and I would like to share it with all of you here:</p>
<p>Many years ago my Godson gave me a little book called “Are You As Happy As Your Dog?”. I’ve read that little rascal dozens of times. If you don’t have it, get it. It has some of life’s great lessons and can be read in less than an hour.</p>
<p>But until you can get a copy, here are some of the reasons dogs have so many friends.  Another bunch of great life lessons.</p>
<p>Enjoy them. I’m going to lay on the floor and get covered by my seven dogs…</p>
<p><span id="more-58"></span>This Is Why Dogs Have So Many Friends</p>
<p>The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.<br />
-Anonymous</p>
<p>Don’t accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.<br />
-Ann Landers</p>
<p>If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.<br />
-Will Rogers</p>
<p>There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.<br />
-Ben Williams</p>
<p>A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.<br />
-Josh Billings</p>
<p>The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.<br />
-Andy Rooney</p>
<p>We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare.<br />
And in return, dogs give us their all. It’s the best deal man has ever made.<br />
-M. Acklam</p>
<p>Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.<br />
-Sigmund Freud</p>
<p>If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.<br />
-James Thurber</p>
<p>If your dog is fat, you aren’t getting enough exercise.<br />
-Unknown</p>
<p>Ever consider what our dogs must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul — chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we’re the greatest hunters on earth!<br />
-Anne Tyler</p>
<p>If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.<br />
-Mark Twain</p>
<p>You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, ‘Wow, you’re right! I never would’ve thought of that!’<br />
- Dave Barry</p>
<p>Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.<br />
-Roger Caras</p>
<p>If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.<br />
-Phil Pastoret</p>

<p>It seems like the whole world is on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ilkaflood" target="_blank">Twitter</a> these days. Fom politcians to actors you can find everyone tweeting. I keep getting invites to join from friends, aquaintences and even from people I don&#8217;t even know. &#8216; Twitter Fever&#8217; has definitely grabbed ahold of me. I&#8217;m tweeting on a daily basis now. And it&#8217;s a lot of fun too.</p>
<p>You can tell the whole world in 140 characters or less what you&#8217;re doing at the moment. For those of us who sometimes are having trouble expressing ourselves in only 140 characters, there&#8217;s <a href="http://twitwall.com" target="_blank">Twitwall</a> which you can use more like a blog and <a href="http://bit.ly/7cFMr" target="_blank">which also lets you post videos</a>.</p>
<p>Want to <a href="http://twitpic.com/448p1" target="_blank">post your favorite pictures</a> on Twitter? Well, there&#8217;s <a href="http://twitpic.com/" target="_blank">Twitpic</a> to do just that. (If you have a Twitter account you automatically have a Twitwall and Twitpic account also.)</p>
<p>Sign up for a <a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter account</a> and start tweeting. Invite your friends. Tweet for fun or tweet for business. If you are totally lost, there&#8217;s even <a href="http://aje.renegadeproblog.com/twitter-training/" target="_blank">Twitter Training</a>. So what&#8217;s stopping you?</p>
<p>And while you&#8217;re at it, make sure to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ilkaflood" target="_blank">add me to your friends</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">TwitPwr is a cool free url shortening service that is currently in Beta launch. When you use TwitPwr it tracks the number of clicks that you drive via Twitter API and gives your account a Power Rating.</p>
<p>Your Power Rating is not only based on the unique traffic you generate but also on how many Twitter users you refer back to the service and how much traffic they generate through unlimited generations.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It&#8217;s totally free and you can set up as many urls as you would like.  I think it&#8217;s pretty cool. So go check it out.  Oh, and here&#8217;s what one of my links looks like: <a href="http://TwitPWR.com/needmorereferrals/">http://TwitPWR.com/needmorereferrals/</a></p>
