Black Friday Time

Thanksgiving was great. I kind of regret not really doing anything though. To be honest I wasn't feeling well at all, I had a lot of dizziness and was feeling faint and flu-like.

Just didn't feel like driving the half hour to see my family. I hope they can understand. However, I'm still so grateful for all my blessings. I have to admit I had a great day, just being home with my cat and feeling very grateful for everything.

Life is truly good. I have never felt more blessed and thankful to be alive. I will continue the gratitude and positive energy hopefully to each day of the year, not just Thanksgiving. I think we all should do that.

God has really blessed us in so many ways. I feel like the luckiest man in the world. Praise God. My YouTube channel is doing really good, I'm getting so many views, it's really starting to take off.

I've been working so hard on it. Hard work really pays off. Today is Black Friday. It's very exciting to see people shopping and excited about getting great deals and things like that, however I usually like to avoid the stores because it is so crazy.

Plus I'm very frugal most of the time so I don't like to spend a lot of money shopping. I usually just buy the basics and call it done.

It's kind of fun though to see all the Black Friday posts on Facebook and just see all the cool deals people get. 

My thoughts on the Walking Dead Season 7

I've already done some videos about this on my YouTube channel.

But I wanted to give my thoughts in a blog post. The Walking Dead has been one of my all-time favorite shows ever since I first watched it years ago.

I have gone through every struggle with the characters, and we truly feel like a big family. The show has changed, though.

No longer does it seem to be a show about a group struggling to survive together and finding strength in each other.

It just seems to be different now. It kind of seems to be about power struggles now more than anything.

It's all about "Look at me, I'm bigger and more bad*** than you." That just isn't really my thing. I'm all for a good battle, don't get me wrong, but since Negan has arrived, I don't find very much entertaining about the show.

Now, everything is about Negan and how he rules everything, and I just don't see what's enjoyable about that.

Nobody even tries to fight back. Not only that, but now Glenn, my favorite character, is not on the show anymore.

He was the main reason I watched it. And Abe is gone, too. He was a great character as well. I do want to hand it to the creators of the show for making it this far.

It is an amazing show, and they have done so well in so many aspects through the years. Apparently a lot of people are now abandoning the show and ratings are down.

That's not something I wanted to see happen. I only want the show to succeed. I just feel like they need to go back to when things were simpler, like when they were just fighting walkers and all that.

That's what I loved about the show. I feel like the whole Negan thing is too much. I know he's in the comics, I just wish there were a way to make the show more like it used to be.

This is not a post bashing the show, it will always be one of my favorite shows. Just my thoughts.

Why is email marketing important?

Many people think that email marketing is only about selling products and making money. After all, we always hear the phrase "The money is in the list."

Well, it's a true statement. However, a lot of internet marketers look past one HUGE aspect of email marketing that is even more important than making sales and generating revenue.

What aspect would that be?

Relationship building.

You build a list so you can communicate with your readers and fans and have a real way to keep in touch with them.

You should think of it like a family to be honest. Why wouldn't your list be like your family? They are loyal readers of your blog, viewers of your YouTube videos, buyers of your products, etc.

You should treat them like family and build a relationship with them. That's what it's all about. You can't just think of your list like a money machine and that's it.

If all you do is sell to them, you will quickly burn out your list and that will be the end of that. However, if you build and nurture a real relationship with the people on your list, they will thank you for it and be loyal to you for years to come!

It's a win-win for everyone. At the end of the day, you should be offering VALUE to your list. Be nice to them, offer them cool free stuff, give back to them like they have always given to you.

After all, the law of attraction states that in giving it is how we truly receive.

Hope this helps. Share this forward!

Sick day but staying positive

Having an off day today. Really am feeling like I have the flu or something, so I have to take it easy. Sometimes you just need an off day to relax and not do anything.

I am hoping to feel better soon so I can be back to my old self and get more things done. I'm too concerned with work though, I feel like that's what my whole life has become. I never just have fun anymore.

I'm going to start having more fun! That's what life is all about. In other news, my other blog "Whit's Blog" is going to be shutting down soon.

In about a week actually. For anyone who reads that blog, first off, let me apologize. Why is it shutting down?

Well, a number of reasons, one of them being that the blog has a severe Google penalty which I have not been able to recover.

As such, the traffic has been very minimal, so I decided it's time to just start fresh. So as of now, this blog you're reading right now will be my main blog!

I'm pretty excited about it. You can also check out my meme blog here: http://memeviral.blogspot.com

Anyways, I will be posting here regularly now. Thanks so much for reading and I'll talk to you soon!

Here's to a positive week

It's Monday again. This week went by so fast, as usual. It wasn't the greatest week last week, but I'm really hoping this week will be positive and happy.

There is so much to look forward to. Life is good. I'm thankful for everything I have. I couldn't be more blessed.

Positive energy

I hope to share that positive energy with others, which is part of the reason I blog. I hope I can inspire people in some way to never give up and to live out their dreams.

Even though bad things will happen in life, what matters is that you have the courage to get back up after you fall down.

Start again

You can always get back up, no matter what happens. We all have a chance to live our dreams to the fullest.

With every new week, there is a chance to turn your life around and to get it right this time around. That being said, I hope you have a great week if you're reading this, Happy Monday!

Walk down an old dirt road

There ain't nothin like a walk down a country road! I went for a walk today down a backroad near where I live.

It's such an amazing feeling. The feel of the sun on your back, the trees all around, the fresh air, the sounds of nature.

Sometimes it's exactly what you need to clear your mind and take away all your stress. Don't underestimate this as a form of therapy!

It really works. I literally felt all my stress melt away after doing it. I forgot what a good feeling it is. I'm really thankful that I live on the edge of town so there are backroads around.

Try it out sometime, it's great for your mental health and to clear away all your stress and troubles. I really recommend it.

One thing I love about living in Missouri is there is country all around! I will probably always live in Missouri, I love it here so much.

It's where my heart and home is forever.

Taking a break from everything for a week or so!

Yesterday I decided to just take a break. From pretty much all work-related stuff. For the most part, I'm not going to be doing any internet marketing, or making money online type stuff.

I just needed a break. I need to clear my head, relax, and refocus myself. I just got too burned out and overwhelmed with everything.

That can cause so much stress to a person! I've been feeling that stress, and it has carried over into pretty much every area of my life.

I've even been getting bad sleep because of it. Not good! It's just a reminder to myself to SLOW DOWN and enjoy life once again. :)

I get so caught up with "Business" and just staying busy constantly. I just forget to slow down. And appreciate all the blessings that life puts right in front of me.

Life is really amazing, and we have to learn to just appreciate it and enjoy it. I've been feeling way too stressed and it's time for a change.

Time to just take a break and take it all in. Life is too good to be stressed all the time. Whatever it is you do in your life, remember to just STOP and breathe sometimes.

It's so good for your soul to do that. Making progress and growing is always a good thing, but too much growth without balance can be not so good.

So remember to take breaks and replenish your soul. Get those good vibes flowing again, that's what I'm doing!

Thanks so much for reading and I'll talk to you guys soon. By the way, if you enjoyed the post, please give it a share so other people can benefit from it!

Be kind to all creatures

We should always be kind to anyone, or any animal we cross paths with. Kindness is very important. We shouldn't forget how to treat people.

Everyone deserves kindness, no matter who they are. Everyone is equal and we're all humans. We all deserve kindness.

Buddha was right when he said this. You should never be mean to anyone or any creature. Animals are people too and they have souls.

As well as people, you should never say things out of rudeness. Everyone has feelings. Remember karma is real and you should always treat people nicely.

However you treat people comes back to you.

Happy Monday!

It's Monday again, and I'm feeling like this is going to be an awesome week. What say you?
I believe any week can be awesome if you stay positive and stay focused.

Last week was kind of hard in a lot of ways, so I'm pushing for a better week this time around. I almost have too much to do, though.

Just overwhelmed. Might take it a little easier this week. I tend to burn myself out. Burning yourself out is never good.

I appreciate all my blog readers, you guys are awesome. On a side note, I haven't had any coffee in a couple weeks.

I can't decide if I should just quit while I'm ahead or if I should break down and buy more. Might try to ween myself off of it while I'm ahead.

Anyways, I hope you have a positive, happy week ahead! Never give up on your dreams!

Life is good!

Well, I'm back! I've been blogging on this blog for a while, but mostly just been posting videos and stuff like that.

I'm actually going to start doing actual word posts again. Usually when I post videos, I don't add a caption.

I love blogging

I have kind of missed blogging on this blog, so I decided to come back to it. I've just been enjoying life, it's been really great, I can't complain about anything.

Just been enjoying the single life. Feeling really blessed to be honest! There is so much in this world to be grateful for!

Life is a blessing

It rained nearly all day today. I love rain in Missouri. There's nothing like it. I'm really learning to just be grateful for life instead of complaining.

Everything in life is a blessing! We have to choose to see it that way. It just spreads so much positivity when you teach other people to be grateful as well.

I'm all about good Karma and positivity! 

New blog!

I had some kind of issues with my old blog here, at the same address, so I basically had to delete it and start over.
