Quick Access to all your logins and Referral Links - Addition 1

Quick Access to all your logins and Referral Links Addition 1

Hello there, TrudyVan here
Addition Titles for your Top 100 Password and Logins List
I have been sent a couple of extra suggestions that would make it easier to keep all you passwords and logins in one place
  • Firstly  Add a section:    AAAAAAAA
Then copy and paste promotions that you have starting with the letter A,  Into the A, section.
  • Then add a section:       BBBBBBB

Copy and paste all your promotions begin with the Letter B,  into this section.

Do this for the whole Alphabet.  
Now finding stuff just became even more easier. 

Backup for You NotePad

The most important suggestion of all:
  • Make a folder on your desktop and call it:  Top 100list backup. 
Every time you add to your normal Top 100 List copy a paste a copy into your Backup Folder and just say Replace. 

That why if you should accidentally wipe out a section on your NotePad,  you have a true copy in your Backups.
Another Suggestion:
  • Add another Sub Title:  Email address.
Add a signup email that you used to sign up for that promotion as some people use different email address for each Promotion.
 
Now that you have your basics sorted. 

You are ready to take on the Internet or any business .

Thank you for the awesome suggestions and I have now implemented them into my 100 List as well.
 
It really helps me a lot and I am sure my readers will agree.

Kindest Regards

Organization and Your Online Business

Organization and Your Online Business   

Hello there,  TrudyVan here,
I cannot stress the importance of having your computer folders sorted at all times. 

Get Your digital filing sorted out Correctly.
It takes a bit of time to sort out your folders on your computer.
I started with my Desktop.  Organize your desktop into specific folders.

For each folder do the following:
Name of Main Folder :   Blogs
I always create an images folder in all my main folders. 
Then I add a folder for each blog.
Inside of each blog name folder I create the following folders:
 
 
  • image Folder.  This is where I place all the images that are used or going to be used on this blog..
  • Blog Posts and Articles Folder.  This is where I place all NotePad copies of my Blog Posts and Future Blog Posts.
  • Blog Correspondence Folder. This is where I place all copies of correspondence.
  • Login and URL Details Folder. This is where I have my login details and copy of blog URL's on notepad.  Make use of NotePad as Word carries to much additional coding.
  • Codes Folder. This Folder is for codes for advertising that is on that blog.
  • Keywords Folder. This is where I have a copy of relevant Keywords on a NotePad.   These Keywords help me create my Posts.  I also note down future ideas on NotePad and keep them in this folder.
  • Blog Backup's Folder. When you download a Backup to your computer for that blog put it into this folder. 

    Never open up these downloads on your computer as it gets corrupted.  This Backup is solely for if there is a problem with your Blog and you need to re install using your backup.

    Try to do a backup after each new post.  That way if you ever need to do a complete install you have the latest backup on in your folder. 

    This applies to Blogger Blogs,  WordPress Blogs, Joomla Blog, etc.,
  • General Folder.
    This is where you put information you have not created a folder for.   You can use this folder when you are in a hurry or busy at the moment. 

    Just remember to sort out your filing as soon as possible

When you do this for all your programs and things you are working on, it makes it a whole lot easier to access your information as and when you need it. I am always in a hurry,  so it works well for me and it will for you.

I also do all my personal stuff such as photo's,  music and videos.  I take a lot of photo's so it is important for me to put them in the correct folders,  so I can find them quickly.

I am always busy and nothing frustrates me more having to look for something on my computer when I need it.

Quick Folder finding on my computer saves me a lot of stress.  Time Management is Key in any business.

Why I need to organize my Folders?
I run my own online and Offline Business.  TrudyVan SEO & Blog Marketing Company.

I have 4 Medium Sized Businesses that I work permanently for,  plus my own marketing.

I also own a House Sitting and Pet Care offline business where I have a team of highly educated people that are "over the age or over qualified" to get a job here in South Africa,  that work with me.

I also help with start up of micro business for the unemployed to become Self Employed.

This is extremely rewarding and I have made friends with the most amazing people that just hit some hard times and needed a little encouragement and support.  Job creation is key to our growing economy.

I also am an Affiliate to numerous Affiliate Products and Programs.

I Coach with a Fantastic Team of Marketers in LGT Lead Generating Tools Membership that has been online for years.  Helping People learn how to build a website,  create Blogs, Build a list, How to use Auto Responder and how to upload to their domains cPanel.  This coaching membership is free to join.

Come say hello in our VOIP Caching Room.  Join here.

I love Traffic Exchanges and am a member of quite a few of them.   I run this base of operation from my LGT Traffic Rotator.

Now you see why I need to have my computer folders sorted at all times as I run a very tight daily Schedule. 

If I did not have a carefully planned Time and Management System in place all the wheels will come of my cart, as they say. 

It has done a few times until I became organized and focused on sorting out my folders.

I hope this post will motivate and help you,  as it did me.

Kindest regards

Small Business Development in South Africa

Small Business Development in South Africa


Hello there, TrudyVan here


It is a known fact that all economies worldwide that encourage small business development are amongst the most thriving countries.

South Africa has now given the green light to create small business ventures by giving them a huge tax incentive by lowering the tax bracket for small businesses.


This is the only way our huge unemployment rate is going to be resolved.

Unemployed people are not stupid people, nor do most of them lack the skills.  Just more people than jobs.

There is now a tendency to only hire people that have a Matric at least.  There is a huge percentage of especially women that married early in life that does not have a matric but they have 20 to 30 years on the job experience.  Does that make them "less qualified" than the youngster that has just left school, with no working experience,  but they have a matric?


Not Ranting but this is my story.   I married early and have over 30 years of experience in various fields and could not get a "normal Job"  as I was over experienced and the second reason was that I did not have a matric.  That is the reason I started my own small business  and that is why I am so passionate about promoting small businesses.

Most businesses only employ people between a certain again and if you are over that age,  you do not stand much of a change to get a job.  Which on hindsight is totally ridiculous.  Most older people have less family responsibilities.  They do not have small children that get sick.  They are not having more children and have to go off on Maternity Leave.  They have a wider and more experienced work knowledge which could be utilized to train younger people coming into the workplace.
I have met so many unemployed people.  They have the skills and expertise that our country needs and should be using, but we are not.

Creating a small business to provide the unemployed person to work and support his own family.  This will bring up the morals of our society as well.  When a man or woman can feed and support their families, their self worth returns.

There was a time that companies had to employ a certain number of apprentices per year.  That law seems to have disappeared to the disadvantage of our young people, just leaving school and cannot afford college or university fees.
There is are huge spin offs to the amount of new small business starts in South Africa.  The more jobs the better.  Moral standards improve.  Substance abuse decreases.  Children are cared, like they should be.  There is less illness.  Happy People get Sick less.  Less depression.  Less .  Less robberies.  Creating jobs should be the ultimate goal of any government.

There is too much legal paperwork for the small (micro) business.  The banks have so many prerequisites before a small business loan is granted.  One the one hand I do not blame them.

I have looked around and spoken to people.  The start up costs for most small businesses is less than R2000.00 and some far less.


I would like to see large companies subletting or outsource a lot more of smaller jobs and services to the small (micro) business sectors and the government to implement a special reduction in taxes for the companies that are using more than 5 small (micro) businesses. 

We are if we like it or not.  One Nation.   If each one of us just helps one other person to start a Micro small Business,  we will all be employed or self employed.   Now that is a something to think about as almost half of our country is unemployed.

It is just my opinion and it is not everyone agrees.  That's good because I also know that our democracy is working.  Free to agree or not agree.
