Internet: This page represents the Internet content sponsors receiving the most impressions (getting the most visits) according to Nielsen NetRatings.com (for AdRelevance data).  Portals & search engines: 20%   General/National news: 14%   General community: 14%   Finance: 8%   Entertainment: 6%   Shopping & auction: 6%   Sports & recreation: 5%   Local/Regional: 5%   Weather: 3%   Other: 19%.  From a creative standpoint what can you produce on the Internet that people might use? Notice that universities aren't mentioned here, yet information, blogs and schools make up the biggest and most beneficial attributes of the Internet. That said, what does this information tell you? Answer: This information tells me what areas to consider Internet endeavors for; advertising profits, it tells me what kind of sites the general public find most useful (regardless of ad revenue), and which Internet properties are the best investments (again, in spite of ad revenue) to name just a few things. 


Internet Marketing: The Internet is a virtual world, a world just like our physical world with businesses, schools, recreation centers, meeting halls, etc, etc, but just like the real world people prefer not to be intruded upon, infringed upon, abused, ignored or bombarded with ads. So then why do businesses think there's profit on the Internet? Think creatively. Answer: Because it gives people the freedom to choose what, when, where, and how for just about everything in life and that includes advertisements. Remember, all it does is give us a better way to interact in our own world and therefore it draws people to it by the very essence of what it facilitates. Lastly then, how can business benefit from the internet? Be creative using the preceding information.  Answer: By providing information and convenience. What do businesses need most? Exposure to more clients, customers and leads is what businesses need to deliver service and products, and when a match is found between product and customer, both business and customer win. This brief blog by no means covers all you need to know about business and marketing on the Internet, what I hope it will do is give you a little taste of the creative thinking process marketers are faced with regarding the Internet and maybe even give you a few creative business ideas.

"IRAN Attacks Creatives"  A creative gets 90 lashes and one year in jail for her role in a movie!
A deeply disturbing piece of news has come from an Australian film company and actress from Iran who starred in one of their films. She has been sentenced to 90 lashes and one year in jail. "The Australian movie, oddly enough, is about an actress in Iran who is forced to live a secret life in order to express herself. In a written statement to TheWrap, producers Julie Ryan and Kate Croser said Tuesday that the actress's involvement in the film" "was limited to her role as an actress and she was not in any other way involved in the behind-the-scenes film making." 

"As producers of the film 'My Tehran for Sale' we would like to express our deep shock and sadness at the sentence imposed by the Iranian government," they wrote. Richard Harris, CEO of the South Australian Film Corp., wrote, "We are deeply disturbed by Marzieh Vafamehr's sentence for appearing in Granaz Moussavi's groundbreaking film, which is itself about the risks that artists are prepared to take for creative expression.

Amnesty International on Tuesday criticized the sentence -- and flogging in general. "If Vafamehr is held solely on account of the peaceful exercise of her ight to freedom of expression, she should be released immediately and unconditionally," the human rights organization said in a written statement.

Vafamehr's sentence is only the most recent example of the Iranian regime's ongoing crackdown on the entertainment industry. On Sept. 17, Iran arrested five documentary directors and a producer and distributor. Among them was Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, who was detained at the Tehran airport as he prepared to go to the Toronto Film Festival. And in December 2010, director Jafar Panahi was arrested. He has been sentenced to six years in prison and was banned from filmmaking and from speaking with the foreign press for 20 years.

I've tried this it was fun | Updated May 2013
Are you active but find that your mental skills seem a little different, that you're not on tap, not as creative or as fast as you once were? You could just be tired, or it could be diet or some other condition so see your doctor first.  If the doc says you're fine, there is a remedy that will put your mind back the way it was. <Lumosity> is free for the most part and maybe it's what you need to try. The program is endorsed by Stanford university and other higher education institutions for it's effectiveness at sharpening your mind again. The basic elements of the program are free and you can use it online from the comfort of your home.

     Some may have noticed, but if you haven't, the name "jimisound" has been, well lets just say borrowed a few times, and is being used by musicians on Youtube, Myspace, in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, EU and by at least two retailers online here in America, some using different spellings. They all came about within the past few years. I created and claimed the name in March of 1989. It has since then become an item of international usage. I am flattered, but consequently, queries to find us can land you somewhere that's not us. This hurts our efforts to reach our intended audience. Maybe you are experiencing something similar. If you are please read the following: 
The presidents "Joint Strategic Plan to Combat Intellectual Property Theft" of 6/23/2010
Text of the statement: 

"I am pleased to announce that today we unveiled the Administration’s first Joint Strategic Plan to combat intellectual property theft." 
    

 The U.S. economy leads the world in innovation and creativity thanks to American inventors, artists and workers.  Our ability to develop new technology, designs and artistic works supports jobs and allows us to export great new products and services around the world. Our citizens need to feel confident that they can invest in new innovation and intellectual property, knowing it will be safe from theft.  Ensuring that our ideas and ingenuity are protected helps us create jobs and increase our exports. This is good news for all American creatives.

What do you think about this? | updated April  2013
There are as many who
believe these siting's as there are who think they are hoax's. Fact is there is something going on, explained or not it exist's. So what is it? Whatever it is we would hardly know the right approach to accosts them in a manner acceptable by them. We have gone to great lengths in both research and thought and one of many conclusions is that our eyes capture light, it's our brain that tags, labels, and categorizes and interprets the images our eyes present to it. There are other dimensions, why not other types of life forms that we occasionally get a glimpse of? It seems the aerial siting's  occur most over England and the United States, why is that? There is an account and Photo taken in the Amazon on file with both governments, of a creature that looks just like the ones depicted in movies, ET., etc., standing still as if to not bring attention to itself and equally interesting is that there is a ship also caught in the photo partly concealed in the dense foliage. The only question is, the couple on vacation who took the photo are English? You can go here to see it for yourself:

favor of the artists. The change will only effect older artists. This information was taken from Rolling Stone magazine as was the following:
The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal on this suit last week, meaning that a lower court's decision in favor of Eminem will stand and that there is now major legal precedent stating that digital music should be treated as a license. This decision won't mean much for younger artists with modern deals covering digital sales, but it stands to drastically increase the revenue of older artists with deals drafted before the mid to late Nineties.

If you have been following the law suit by Eminem against his record label, Universal, we have some encouraging news. The Supreme Court refused to hear the case today. This puts the case back into the hands of the lower courts who have already ruled against Universal. In Eminem's contract it states that digital media is to be handled as a license and not a sale. Sales give artists of pre 1995 12% on the dollar. Licensing, which was less popular back then, remember Napster, gave the artist 50% per item. This ruling removes some control from the label over what they should pay the performer and re-distributes profit in

The video to the left is here because I love prehistoric stuff, dinosaurs, outer space, science fiction, action, guy stuff I guess. Hope you like it too. 
Lets be about the truth in this matter. Don't we all know it is arrogant of man to claim the universe all to himself. Man is a selfish creature unless he learns otherwise, he is greedy, aggressive
and allows his mind to indulge in foolish occupations 

like bigotry, cheating and gossiping, but he is more than an animal. So why not co-heed as one mind and advance? 
Commentary: Updated Apr 2013  How about some Russian Meteor? UFO's,  
     Extreme weather, (actually the most hostile weather in recorded history happened during the last 15 years! Mass murdering, ripping off the poor, people can't find peace of mind, hopes being deferred and the list goes on. We can change this. My recommendation: Law makers (civil & divorce courts) "Stop" empowering the bad guy and America: Stop pumping psychotropics into children, it causes suicides. 
     Did you know that over 50% of American women are on psychotropics? People "Stop" doing each other wrong, abusing the innocent, quick tempers, racism, no dignity, and respect for ones own self, or even the planet, and pills are not the answer. I know the medical community is just trying help but a lot has to change, and it begins with me, with you, your children (if the government will let you raise them) We're on the wrong track! We have to slow down, think, and change?  Just a thought :)  What, can't think for yourself? Political correctness got your tongue? 
Alone in the universe or not,what is important is that we come to grips with the truth we do know, that death is a dimension we know nothing about. Most if not all of us are so infatuated with the body, carnality and flesh that we look no further when the truth is, there is more to us than that. We are more than animal energy forms, our purpose is much higher. We exist in several realms, spiritual, thought, dream, meta physical, physical, energy and death or void of energy except for that left in the flesh and bones.

Alec Baldwin Campaigns For More Arts Funding  | updated May 2013

Picture
The actor Alec Baldwin was in Washington in August of 2012, speaking in favor of the National Endowment for the Arts. The government-funded arts organization long ago supported the Sundance Film Festival and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. In more recent years, the NEA has supported writers, arts education for kids, and everything from jazz musicians to urban design. It has also faced political controversy; most notably in the 1990s, when its funding was slashed.  What are you guys missing? What's not getting done, he asks? Alec Baldwin visits Washington, as NEA funding has slipped again, leading to a question for the star of "30 Rock," which is on NBC, a network run for profit. Ref: Article by NPR; Steve Inskeep.

Are you getting on the road again?  Effective Friday May 27, 2011 Google just made it a lot easier to quickly look up flight information. Now you can type “flights from [a city] to [another city] in the Google search window, and it’ll quickly display a summary of flight information right there on the results page.   For instance, type “flight LA SF”, and you’ll get a long list of flights when you click on the resulting drop-down list.

Type a name or event into the search box to see if it's covered.
     Stage presence has multiple definitions depending on who you talk too. To someone who has performed publicly on stage on many occasions, it has only one definition. That is, when you walk out on to the stage, they can't stop looking at you and eyeing your every move the whole time you're on stage, and they cling to your every word. Call it chemistry, vibes, essence, charisma or magic, or whatever you want, one thing is clear, you don't have to be born with it, you can develop it. Many actors have it, Brad Pitt has stage presence, Jimi Hendrix had it, The Beatles John Lennon had it and the list goes on. 
     In other words people will listen to you, they want to know what you have to say, sing or show, they want to be like you, they find you unique as far as humans go and their curiosity never weans, but instead it grows endlessly. Stars have stage presence whether they are born with it, or developed it themselves; they will tell you that that is half the reason for their success, the other half being a combination of raw talent and the vehicle, or reason they stand before you in the first place. Steve Jobs had stage presence, Opra Winfrey, Bill Cosby, Lucile Ball, Vin Diesel, Robert Downey Junior, Rhianna, Carol Bernette and so on. 
     If you have it naturally, you can tell by simply getting up on stage and saying a few words. I like to call it a response to investment, and what that means is that for every word, everything and anything you do up there 

you can feel only positive vibes coming back to you from the people in the audience. You can learn to do this by experimenting, changing the way you act, or behave in the presence of others and getting a reading on their reaction to you. It's easy, what you do that brings about a smile and positive words from people every time you do it, is one thing you do that has stage presence, and the more things you learn to do that bring about that response from people the more you're developing your stage presence. 
   
  Keep working at this and eventually, everything you do will bring a positive reaction from everyone you interact with, even on a personal level. Each person must find what works for them, from their choices in clothing to their choices in words, and the expression on their face when they say those words; it all comes together as your persona. Have you ever met someone your eyes just keep going back to the whole time they are in the same room? Why do you keep looking at them? What is it about them that make you do that? It is their mannerisms. According to Dictionary.com, stage presence is the ability to command an audience with impressive style or manner. 
    
 Learn how to "connect" with an audience and you've just developed "stage presence". What can you say or do that gets their attention? First you must relate to their "immediate proximity in time or space", in other words, are you there with them, can you relate to their reasons for being there and can you give them assurance that they are in the right place by your mannerisms, the words you're using, your posturing and facial expressions when you speak or sing or dance. You heard the old saying if you're having fun, your audience will have fun. Well, this is true, smiles, laughter, love are all contagious and so is genuine joy, such as that which a performer feels when they perform. That is the joy of being present during a great performance, that is why you went to see the performer, to feel joy and have fun and maybe even be changed by the performance.

     It was only a matter of time before Charlie Sheen who admits becoming a user, would be experiencing some changes in his professional career. He says he has overcome his addicton by sheer will power. If you are still following Charlie just to see what he eventually does with his life, Click>Here. We particularly like what Charlie's dad Martin and brother Emilio had to say. We believe prayer is essential  for addictions in ones life. 
     
The behaviors that spring from the platform of addiction are not interpreted by the individual who is addicted the same way it is by those who are not. Addiction requires love and understanding from the friends and relatives of the addicted, but only prayer, meditation on those things which are pure, and a change of environment will eventually lift the addicted individual to a place of sovereignty and independence from drugs. 
    
 From there, individual empowerment can be the force which governs an individuals thinking to clarity and not distortion by the influence of an un-sobering and intoxicating substance, which may, and usually does cause a user to become delusional. An entertainers life is dedicated to the entertainment of others and often can leave the entertainer with feelings of loneliness, at times feeling empty, and of being under-compensated. 
    
 There is the money and often people with money look to the money to free them from solemness. They are soon to realize that money is not a cure.  We think Charlie's dad is right, he has spent his entire life entertaining us, we should not hesitate to give back and lift him up in prayer. Learn and excel.

  Modeling is an area we know little about, but we were able to do the research and provide you with a lot of information about it.  We are familiar with show business and thus know by deduction that modeling is specialized, it is difficult to get into at the super model levels, that it is demanding and can be heartbreaking.

Social Media Self Promotion and How To Build A Network  | updated: April  2013

Picture
     In the new economy self promotion and network connections are essential in every endeavor you will embark upon. Whether you work for a corporation or for yourself as an entrepreneur, you will inevitably be required to produce a network and one that double's as a promotion vehicle in some way. You will have to learn from people in your network as you are promoting them and yourself. People have been doing this for centuries, the only thing that changes from century to century is the way it is done.

     Have you ever heard that old adage saying "The only thing in life that is certain is  change"? Well, my friends a very big change has just taken place on your planet and in your life, and it is not some change that took place in an isolated environment such as business, politics, the jungle, education, or a market, this change is everywhere and that makes it important in your life. 

     A change has come and it is influencing the way things are accomplished around the world. From how you view your partner to the way you get your information, and everything in between, is all being influenced by one thing now. The good news is that all things have been made easier and with a little adjustment to attitude about an otherwise familiar surroundings you can hop on board and make it work for you. No longer is it necessary to rely on middle men for your success financially or otherwise, the landscape has changed to empower you as an individual and consumer.  I'm talking about the internet. The Internet is big and as I said, even colleges are falling in line with it by adding online degrees to their brick and mortar institutions. Smart shoppers have figured out that the best deals are now on the Internet. Businesses are beginning to accept the reality that their clientele,  customers, and marketing models have all moved to the Internet and that social networking is driving people connections around the world. 

     Word of mouth truly is king now. It was always known by business and marketing experts that the best and loyal customers come by word of mouth and referrals. A friend telling a friend about your service or product is the sure way to develop a lasting relationship and reach people who can benefit the most from your product regardless of what the product is. The skills you will need to operate successfully in this environment will require some effort on your part. But first and foremost of importance is that you remember that Social Media requires you to be transparent in order to attract followers. You will need to discover who you are and assimilate this person into the new environment, by taking the necessary steps to develop yourself while changing your perception of the things around you. This will require most people to return to school and learn more about where the world is right now, but don't be afraid. It's a lot easier to do that today, and remember that many people on social networks today are not really sure of what they are doing.  

     There are many ways you can fit school into an already busy schedule, from program design to how you access the training. All educational institutions have flexible programs, and you are sure to find one that fits you. School is also a great place to begin building your network of friends, acquaintances and future business associates. It's really easy, be transparent, don't lose touch with anybody, and remain that patient, nice understanding person you have always been and new acquaintances will follow and stick around. People are complicated on one hand and incredibly simple on the other. We are all looking for acceptance and love regardless of the outer shell you encounter when you meet someone for the first time. Treat people the way you yourself appreciates being treated, and you will not have problems in this new economy with networking.  

     Have you ever thought about why man does not live as individuals isolated  from each other in life? The reason is we need each other, whether we get along or not, we need one another to survive life. If you keep this in mind you will fare very well in this environment because in its simplest description it means the entire world is becoming one big network. We are all being wired together like a symbiotic life form has been created, and as a result we have become a Brave New World.  I realized this to be the future in the late 80's and began adjusting my plans in life by including plans to learn computers and by 2001 I had become Cisco certified in computer networking. I found that all those doors that were once closed due to middle man activities, had been opened, and the money manager was losing his self serving grip on the innocent, helpless naive citizens of our populous. 

     Entire corporations have been built on the idea of keeping you from the freedom of self expression and making those who needed self expression to live play by their rules, rules designed entirely to their favor, and then you had to pay them for it. This system was holding the whole world back in order for only a few people to prosper. In my own opinion, this is why a few hundred Americans have all the money up top, leaving only a small portion of that money to be divided among the remaining 365,000,000 Americans. These secretive networks of shysters have to work in the open now. The system is now open to the individual, and we can all make meaningful contributions designed to improve upon our society, but you have to learn how to promote yourself. You can do this by developing a network. When you look closely at the math, you are linked with hundreds of people just by your acquaintance to one or two people. In my Facebook account, there are about 60 people who have open lines of communication with me, and through those 60 people I am linked by acquaintance to thousands more, and Facebook has the smallest number of people of my networks in social media accounts.   

     When I include all of my associations, there are well over one hundred million people in my networks worldwide.  Will I connect with them all? I don't think so, but it is this kind of thinking that drives my business model. Am I well connected, yes I am? Theoretically, I could connect with millions of people who would appreciate the connect and more, because we have a mutual connect. Of course things are not that simple, but the illustration has made its point. Networking works to your benefit and to the benefit of like minded people in your network. Every network starts with just one person. The simplest way to begin building a network is from your email list. By reviewing the people in your email list, you will find that you already have a very good start, and that expanding your network will be easy. So list your friends and grow your list. We will discuss best practices for best online presence in social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Tumblr, and others in an upcoming newsletter in April 2013. 


Please view this video: The importance of Social Media  

     Make a habit of asking people you meet and chat with for their email address and if they would mind if you add them to your Facebook page, or any social network that you belong to, just tell them you'd like to get to know more about them.  Most people will give you their email address and why not, if they decide to disconnect from you, they can very easily block your emails. What does either of you have to lose? Regardless of whether you are a people person or not, building a network is really simple and that is good, because they are essential in the new millennial economy. Try this, click on the red "Share This" button on one of our websites and look at all the social networks that come up. Every person you meet will likely belong to one or more of the networks listed there. Promoting yourself will depend primarily on what you do or plan to do to make a living. There are various ways of marketing yourself and your product, service or idea and they all should begin with you networking the people that you already know. To continue, please review the recommended reading below by purchasing it or going to a library and reading the ones that help you the most. You should get use to reading, you'll be doing a lot of it. Good luck!

Recommended> Readings

TIP:  Go out each day with a plan for that day and accept no obstacles. Always remain calm and patient, asking copious questions, being a good listener, and build a mastermind for support. Make sure your ideas in some way helps others. Follow through with shooting down doubt and worry like a shotgun on skeet. Stand guard at the door of your plans and keep them out, shooting them down as they try to infiltrate to destroy your progress, and ultimately your success! About time, guard your time management plan but be flexible and study your energy consumption during the process and your time management skills will improve as you become more familiar with how you're coming about your growth.

Gnarls Barkley         How did they market themselves using the internet? 
 
About Gnarls Barkley: Gnarls Barkley is an alternative/soul "group" which formed in 2003 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The group consists of Cee Lo Green (vocals) and Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton (multiple instruments). The group is best known for the international smash hit “Crazy”.

“Crazy” - which was their first single - debuted at #1 on the British pop charts on April 2, 2006. It was the first #1 UK single to be obtained solely through Internet downloads. The success of the single in the UK was due largely to its use in a promotional trailer for Radio 1 across all of the BBC TV channels prior to the single’s release.

Who is this kid?

Justin Bieber, Date of birth — March 1, 1994, is the youngest (that we know of) new teen sensation right now. We thought we'd make mention of his latest voy for attention. Staying in the spot light is important for some entertainers and not so important for others. Justin can sing, their is no doubt about that and we agree that it is important for him to stay active and in the spotlight if he is to stay in the mix at the crest of his genre.  We wouldn't want to see him fade into the past as only a flavor of the month act, only to disappear from the seen as quickly as he arrived. Here he is spoofing with Jimmy Kimmel. 

No he did not shave his head, not a lot of people can do that and pull it off, although his crown doesn't look half bad bald, except for the fact that having his hair tucked under the prostetics makes him look like a cone head.  He will be competing in the all-star celeberty basket ball game on February 18th in the upcoming NBA's all star week-end. The just turned 17 year old Bieber is doing quite well.

Chuck Berry article

     Did you know that Chuck Berry fell on stage during his show in Chicago last January 2, 2011? He was checked out medically before beginning his performance but slumped over during the show of what looked like fatigue, and was taken off stage for about 20 minutes before returning. He was taken to a hospital after the show for further observation and soon left under his own motivation. Some had said he fell, but we could not find any confirmation to that. 


      Chuck is 84 years old and still performing. Is that love for the art or what, talk about loving what you do? Speaking of loving what you do, what is your reason for what you do or plan to do? Is it all you think about? Do you sleep with your instrument? Cuddle with it at night? Well you can believe this, that's how most top instrumental virtuoso think and feel. 

Chuck is not only a virtuoso; he is a singer songwriter, a legend and stands among only a very small group as the founders of rock-n-roll. "While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together. It was his particular genius to graft country" ...Rock n Roll Hall of Fame (http://rockhall.com/inductees/chuck-berry/) 

     The Beatles, arguably the best rock-n-roll band ever to set foot onto a stage, loved, practiced and emulated Chuck Berry's style, including his songwriting, and George Harrison often played guitar just like him. How could they not? Rock-n-roll is an off shoot of the blues as much as any other genre. If what you're singing about ain't about being happy, then it's about the blues. We're not saying the Beatles was a blues band in totality; however you must agree that some of their songs were just that. 


     Chuck Berry has written some blues too, and some guitar music so complicated (difficult chords to finger) you almost need chart music to play the song(s). Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Good" has been a rite of passage for all would be rock 'n' rollers for about 60 years and in addition to Little Richard that also includes the great Jimi Hendrix.  How old is rock you say? Oh about .........65 years, since the mid 1940s. After George Beauchamp invented the electric guitar in 1931 (that's right, it was not Les Paul). Chuck Berry took it and invented Rock-n-roll with it about 19 years later in around 1949.

A golden nugget: Take the time to think things through and don't be afraid to decide to take the higher road: In the end life is full of choices. Who you are today is the sum total of the choices you've made in your life up to this day. If you don't like where you are; change the way you think.
