Secrets Wednesday

Do you have a secret tip or information to help our other readers out there?
Well then give it to us.

Today I picked two tools that might benefit you one for personal use and one for blogging/twitter.

Was looking through my emails today and found this

Ever wondered how you could harness the power of Twitter to drive massive amounts
of traffic to your sites - and how to convert that traffic into cash?

John Merrick and Soren Jordansen have just come up with the perfect solution for you,
with their new product called Tweet My Blog.

It's a Wordpress plugin that makes it super easy to combine the powers of Wordpress
and Twitter - driving massive amounts of traffic to your blog.

And the best part... It's 100% free!

I checked it out, it seems pretty cool. I don't currently use wordpress, but is seems worth checking out.
I signed up, I will be looking into wordpress in the future. They will try and upsell you, but the product that they are promoting is press with some bonuses. Check it out here.

Samples, Secrets and update

To start out, I have downloaded my Master Cleanse information and have made my "grocery list", unfortunately my son has a touch of a stomach bug (well I think he drank too much tub water, opps) and we will not be leaving the house today. Hopefully he will be better tomorrow and I can go get my supplies and get started. Check back tomorrow to get an update. We have plans this weekend and I really was looking forward to jump starting my weight loss.

Now back to the topics for today.

First off, I was reminded of a site that I have been a member of for over 5 years now, but have not taken advantage of on a regular basis. The site is startsampling.com it is a great site where you get samples of products and then return to give your opinion of them. You earn points for visiting the page, filling out opinion surveys and for contests. I have done this on and off for several years and have always received my samples and my points and they have always kept my account active with my points. I looked at my points today and had over 4000 and I hadn't been to the site in atleast 6 months. So I truly recommend this site for samples and maybe a couple extra prizes along the way. I have requested some samples and will be checking back regularly (hopefully) for more.

Now what are our secrets and information for today.
