December 25, 2011 By WomenCan Leave a Comment

In a recent survey I conducted on Facebook.com , I was surprised to learn that people unanimously voted that quality was more imporant than quantity or even price!

The Count Down Has Begun…13 Days to Lift Off!

September 6, 2011 By WomenCan 2 Comments

When you have worked for 9 months on a project, I think you will agree that the launch of that project finally approaching is rather exciting and at the same time nerve wracking.

I am referring to The Butcher Who Bakes Entertainer’s Guide, which is now in the very capable hands of Vanguard Press, Northbridge, WA.

This is the first book that The Creaticians have published and it has been a very exciting journey, although it is not the first publication that I have personally been involved in publishing, having published Pearls Women’s Magazine back in 2006.

The Challenge with Ed Dale and the Team

September 2, 2011 By WomenCan Leave a Comment

In 2007, I had my first contact with The Challenge. Back then it was known as the 30 Day Challenge. I was an internet marketing newbie and hardly knew one end from the other. The 30 Day Challenge helped me to get my head around the technology and to take my first dolly steps online.

Today I have resigned up to do the The Challenge, as it is know now, because I wanted to update my knowledge of what are the best tools to be using online for internet marketing. Ed Dale and his team make it their business to know the best ways to make money online and the whole goal of the challenge is to help people to make their first $1 online.
