Technology is changing and moving at such a high rate of speed at times I get overwhelmed with all the latest gadgets. When cells phones were just starting to get hot, I waited.  Then I finally got a plain basic cell phone. No bells or whistles. Then texting became the rage. My friends were hounding me to get texting…

Dude, you gotta get text messaging! I waited. Then my friend Doug Taylor got the iphone. He calls me up ranting and raving about this iphone.

I waited, and waited and waited…
 Until one night about 6 months ago, Doug calls and tells me his iphone saved gig that night.  It turns out he was doing sound and lights for some band on the strip and the bands sound and light equipment malfunctioned.

He just happened to download the bands backing music tracks  and light arrangment on his iphone the day before! Just as a backup! Turns out it saved the day.

I purchased a iphone the next day.

I use my iphone for so many things now it blows my mind! Here are just 3 things I use my iphone on a regular basis.

1. Photos – You can take photos and email them instantly!
2. Video - You can capture an event or interview someone instantly!
3. Notes – With this application I can take notes any time and then email those notes instantly!

Here are some things I do with my iphone:
 Photos – #1
When I go to a seminar or some sort of networking event I tend to meet a lot of people. I also tend to forget a lot of the people I had met… until I got my iphone. Now what I do is ask the person I am talking to to hold their business card up next to their cheek so I will remember them.

Photos – #2
The cool thing about this photo application is, immediately after taking a photo you can email the photo anywhere in the world instantly! Wouldn’t it be cool if you are walking thru an airport and you bump into someone you always wanted to meet, then got a photo with them and then send it to all your friends. You bet!

Video – #3
The second day I had my iphone, I am walking out of church with Vickie and we see a car fire and I wipped out my iphone, started video tapping the fire. I then posted it to one of my other  sites, www.LasVegasNewsBlog.com from my iphone in seconds! I beat the local news and got huge spike in traffic.
But lets talk about the ipone today…

Check out the video below…I was at the M Hotel in Las Vegas and in the hallway I bumped into the most famous motivational speaker in the world, Les Brown!

Is this the best video in the video? Heck no, but I got Les Brown on video!
So what are you using your iphone for?

Have a Great Day,

There are numerious ways to get FREE Traffic with articles. This is also reffered
to as Article Marketing. Before we get into any specifics on Article Marketing
let’s clarify and define a few things first.

1. What is Online Article Marketing?
In it’s basic form, you write an article and submit that article to the various
online content publishers which can and may include article directories,
blogs, forums etc…

Article Marketing is an already proven way to drive FREE traffic to your
website. The amount of traffic will be in direct proportion to the market or
niche of your business. If this is a popular niche, then you have a good
chance of getting some good Free Traffic.

2. How Does Article Marketing Work?
At the bottom of every article you write is your Signature File. The more
 publishers that use your content on there website, the better the
chances of visitors reading thru to the bottom to see who wrote the article.
When people put your articles on there website, that’s called syndication.

Inside your Signature File is either a email or website link. It is the people
reading your articles that will be clicking on your links in your Signature File.
This is one of the ways that you will get FREE Traffic to your website.

I’ll be writing more articles on this topic, FREE Traffic With Articles in
the near future, so keep an eye out.

To Your Success,
