Oh, That's Sneaky

Six, Five, Four, Three, Two! Oops, I think I'm going just a little bit to fast, but still only 4 days left until summer is officially here. Then I guess the humidity starts coming, which will be interesting. The weather today is absolutely perfect, warm but not stuffy.

Today, I was at the Wal-mart looking at buying some strawberries. I think they were priced at about $3 a container, a reasonable price, but we stilled turned it down. Now, if you not familiar with Lancaster county, you wouldn't know that in summer there are stores on the side of the road were you can buy fruit and veg. So this is me telling you that there are.

On the way home, we come across one of these Amish/Mennonite stores (not sure which one, they all look the same) selling strawberries. Us, not being from the area, have never bought from these stores, first time for everything right!
$5 for the same size container! Fair enough, it's probably home grown, organic and they are much Larger.

Needless to say, we absolutely punish the first few (BIG ONES) in the first few seconds, well I did at least. I have a look later and after the BIG ONES are gone, hidden away, are these tiny little strawberries. I have to admit that they were the best strawberries I have ever had, but do not be deceived by the Amish/Mennonite.

Although their culture and religion keeps them separate from the "world", they are by no means ignorant to marketing strategies.In fact, they even had a drive through part of their little wooden store. Only America!!! We live in the marketing country of the world, without marketing your product ends up.... well actually it ends down, way down.

Moral of the story, we all need to market what we have, otherwise no one will ever know what we have.

Later this week I will be doing a post on a internet church like no other and why it's so wrong.

Some work

The internet is really a college on it's own. There is so much to learn off it. I have taken advantage of this, since college isn't really an option right now. It's so expensive in America.
I've been looking at online marketing and affiliate marketing. It really is another world out there, you just need to know your way around that world, if only you could take a gps. As you probably know, many people have started buying online, instead of going to the store. The general idea is to have a niche blog or website, where you have articles and begin to promote product. The best part is that you don't even need to have your own product to begin with, you can just sell other people's products. My only problem at the moment is that finding a niche is not as easy as it sounds. It needs to be something that I can write alot about and preferably I have an interest in.
Anyone have any ideas?

Another online thing is FOREX, this may sound new to some of you or not. It is the foreign exchange. You buy one currency against the other. Sounds easy? Well, its not. I've had a forex practice account and I seem to be getting better, when I focus on it.

If I had to look at options of different kinds of work.

Option 1: Use what I'm learning now to make various avenues of revenue. Sure it's not safe and reliable. Sometimes, I wonder how it will turn out it years from now?

Option 2: The other option is to be stuck in a, which is not allowed to happen right now anyway for me. If I think about it, I would rather risk taking a chance on making $100 in an hour than working 10 hours in the day and making the same amount.

In my mind, it's better to work smarter with less hard work. Maybe this is just what I think.
How is it working out for you in your life?
