TagVillage Review and Overall TagVillage Picture

I woke up this morning, got my coffee and headed to the computer as always to do my morning routine of checking email and answering, checking affiliate accounts to see my sales overnight and to see if there is any maintenance I need to do on any of my sites.

As you may or may not know I have worked with tagvillage from the beginning which is now a little over a year old.  Everyday I check my stats to see what tags have been purchased from me and if I need to purchase them back. Tagvillage is not an overnight get rich quick business; it’s a long term investment business.

Unfortunately, like a lot of people I still have to fight the “instant results” mentality.  Tagvillage made “History” last week by starting to pay its members for tags that advertisers target, much like Google does with PPC.

I have to say I was a little disappointed that I was not seeing any results in my back office; wondering if I had bought a lot of useless and worthless tags and my inventory would be worth “nada.”  I have to keep telling myself they just started paying for advertising clicks last week; have some patience I keep telling myself.

So, this morning, as I said I woke up to do my morning routine on the internet and in my tagvillage back office, I am seeing the results of my hard work starting to pay off.  It’s not a huge amount by any means right now but every day I work in tagvillage I see the long term potential ahead of me and anyone that joins tagvillage.

I will show you a screen shot of my earnings from targeted tag words, along with my daily earning for just buying and selling tag words.  I am going to be selfish and not show you the exact words I own.  These are tags I am going to do my best to protect and keep so I can keep earning from them.

It looks like I was able to recover most of my content on my blog but I have no idea of what happened to the pictures.   So this prompts me to start looking for a new plugin for my WordPress data backup.

If whatever you are using does not restore everything, then it’s not a very good backup, in my opinion.

Anyone have any suggestion on what backup plugin or software that you use?  Let me know and I will check it out.

A few weeks ago I made a post about my new Kindle ( New Kindle Review – Awesome Product ) and how well I liked it.  That still holds true. I’ve read more books in the last 2 months since I’ve gotten my Kindle than I have in the last 2 years.

Then I began to wonder about all of the previous E-Books I have purchased and still haven’t gotten around to reading yet; wondering if there was a way to transfer them to my Kindle without having to buy them again in the Kindle version.  I transferred a couple of PDF E-Books to the Kindle, but the formatting was all wrong and very hard and almost completely impossible to read.

As we all do now days, I Googled it and found an answer.  I found out that if you go to your Kindle Account on Amazon.com and create a new email on your Kindle account such as ( YOURNAME@free.kindle.com ) and once that is confirmed, you can then attach the document you want converted to this email with the words “Convert” in the Subject line and in a short amount of time you will receive the file converted and you can then transfer to your Kindle via USB cable or Wi-Fi connection.

Before I knew this I bought the same book twice; once in PDF format and then again in Kindle format.  It was okay though the book I bought was written by a friend (Rebecca Woodhead called Palaces and Calluses (Cotswold Chronicles), so she got paid twice.  I don’t mind helping out a friend.

By the way at the time I wrote the first post, I had not had my Kindle very long and could not comment on the battery life.  So far that also gets a “Thumbs Up.”   I have only had to charge my Kindle once in the last 2 months.  The downside to the long-life of the battery is if you do not notice it may need charging and you are out somewhere waiting and begin to read and realize, Oops, I should have checked it before I left the house.  So make a mental note to check the battery before you take off with your Kindle.

I guess I am limited in my thinking sometimes or as they say, I need to start thinking “Out of the Box.”

I have always written in a journal to get through a problem or to record happy times to remember.  Before I started scrapbooking, I would buy all kinds of pens, pencils, markers, stickers, inks and stamps and decorate my journal pages as I wrote.  One journal in particular has so many stickers and embellishments, it almost doesn’t close any longer.

While doing some research for this post, I came across a video series about “water color journaling.”  I have never heard of this but since I am starting to begin my life-long dream of learning how to draw and paint, of course water color painting also comes into the picture (excuse the pun).

There are SO many ways of expressing yourself through drawing, painting, writing, photography, scrapbooking and even genealogy.  I am a big fan of each of these, as I envision using every one of these activities as a way to relieve stress, be creative and to also leave your mark on the world for future generations.

You can make your own journal, as shown in the video, How to Create a Watercolor Painting Journal or purchase them at a very minimal price at the Dollar Stores, Big Lots and many other places.

I have provided a lined sheet for you to print out and start your journaling with a number of different pictures of your choice.  Just click on the one you would like, save it to your computer and print it out.

• Journal Book
• Hibiscus 1
• Hibiscus 2
• Sunset
• Lighthouse
• Bear
• Kittens
• Pansies
• Cat
• Clock
• Birds
• Cow
• Baby Cows
• Beach Bull Rays
• Water Lillies
• Winter
• Blue Hills
• Mountains
• Rose and Cross
• Rose and Puppy
• Pink Rose
• Football Helmet
• Golf
• Sailboat
• Colt
• Blank With No Picture

If you are already experienced at drawing and/or painting you can embellish your pages with your own artwork as shown in the video.  Even if you’ve never drawn or painted before, it doesn’t matter; beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Teach yourself to draw and paint as I am doing.  These are some of my beginning drawings and paintings.

If you have considered journaling but just didn’t know where to start, what to write about, you might want to sign up for my writing prompts at the right and you will receive some encouraging words and ideas for prompts each and every day.

Tammy Matthews

Today, I was honored to make a guest post on my friend Nathalie Villeneuve’s blog about a friend connection I made on the Women of Facebook group with Tammy Matthews.  Nathalie has been having a featured post every week like this and it has been very well received by everyone.

I am not that comfortable yet with making videos but I wanted to make this one to show Tammy how much I appreciated her friendship to me.

I did not realize that a few minutes of video time and stepping out of my “Comfort Zone” as they say, would have that much of an impact on people.

So today, the above quote has become even more cherished to me.  It made me feel absolutely giddy to see the response from Tammy, Nathalie and the readers and the comments that were left.  If I have made even one small “feel good” impact on any one person, then I have accomplished my good deed for the day.

Don’t misunderstand, I did not do the video for the response or the attention, I just wanted to do something special for Tammy

Today, I realized we can ALL make a difference just by doing one thing for one person and it reacts like a stack of dominoes and the ongoing effect; when one of them falls over, it spills on to others over and over again.

How about you?  What have you done today for another person?  Believe it or not, doing something good for someone else will make you just as happy as it does them.

Give it a try and let me know how it made YOU feel.
