Mobile Wireless Internet Connection

It has finally happened. I got a mobile wireless internet connection though my mobile service AT&T.

I got the USBConnnect 881. What that means I am not sure, but what it does for me is that it allows me to get online anywhere there is mobile cell phone service.

For the last year I have been jumping on whatever wireless connection I could. This has been a reasonable solution for me since I live in San Francisco and above a cafe that provides free wireless connection. Thank you very much Cafe Royale! (If you are in SF go here for a great taste of the city)

But the strategy of hopping on free wireless is not always consistent. So I opted to get the mobile connection. It cost $60/mo. Since I do not have a ground line this is a deal. I have consistent, if not slow at times, connection.

Something to think about if you want to be mobile and free from your home connection.

So tonight I am hanging out listening to The Police – Ghost in the Machine on my1970’s record player, surfing the net and posting this blog through my USBConnect 881!

Have fun – Be Free.

Online Marketing Success

Online marketing in my opinion is getting easier and easier…but many would disagree.

I have been working with BasicBlouse.com to help them increase their traffic to their fashion blog http://www.careerfashion.wordpress.com/.

Using just one basic technique they have increased their daily traffic by 5 time!

They are tying in current events to their topic which is fashion for career women.

The technique is simple. At BasicBlouse.com they are writing simple blog entries with titles that are relevant to the hot current events. For example:

Hillary Takes Questions About Spitzer In Pennsylvania With Style

In this entry they posted a photo of Hillary Clinton. Next they did a review of what Hillary was wearing.

Simple and effective.

Next of course is the most important step: conversion of traffic to paying customers.

Monthly Update 3-08

Ugh– the monthly updates have turned into quarterly updates…hmm? Well, it is what it is, so here it goes.

Here is my financial update:

The $1000.00/month online gig has not yet panned out…and probably won’t, but who knows. I am not investing time, money nor emotion in it.  It still could work out.

This week I increased my gross monthly mobile income by $497.00.  So as of now my net monthly mobile income is at $1315.00.

Through my meetup group I was able to generate some one time income from a seminar.  I will be scheduling and organizing more of these then seeing how I can automate the whole process so I do not need to be present.

Only $740 shy of being completely mobile!  I am making a big push over the next 2-4 weeks to not only meet but surpass my minimum.  I want to surpass it by about 30% so as to be able to build up a cushion of cash and insure against that crazy thing called life that jumps up and surprises us from time to time.

I am also talking to a couple of companies about setting up online marketing architecture and systems for them.  These would be mostly mobile and a not ongoing, but the would definitely help me reach full mobility sooner.

Here is a picture from the Seminar that I organized and Ted Podromou ran on “How to Super Charge Your Blog.”
