I Love To Blog

Ok, I admit it - I’m probably behind the curve on the latest and greatest ways to communicate via the world wide web. There’s Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedln - to name a few ways to socially connect on the internet.

I personally love to Blog – for those of you out there who may not be familiar with the term – blogs are web logs – ongoing, informal communications about topics of interest. Blogs are easy and inexpensive to create. Blogs create an additional avenue for creating a web presence. Some additional benefits are:
• Blogs create a searchable archive of content where every entry has a unique URL. This feature makes it easier to find through Google or other search engines.
• Blogs create an arena of dynamic, ongoing communication
• The creator can tailor the blog to a selected audience or open it to the internet world
• Blogs are great vehicles for marketing yourself, services or products that you offer
• A blog page is less expensive than a webpage. Although, you can place a link on your webpage that directs traffic to your blog page.

So, do you have a product to sell or do you want to share information on that great article you read? Consider blogging – it’s a habit you just may enjoy.

Elite Notary Network Meeting A Success

The Elite Notary Network held a networking meeting on Saturday, January 17, 2009 at Pat & Oscar’s in Temecula, Ca. The featured speakers – Vikki Watanabe of the American Association of Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants (AAVBA) and Marlene Blyden of YTB Travel did an excellent job of presenting opportunities to create streams of income for notaries.

Wendy Waits from H&R Block introduced several ways notaries can protect their income through allowable deductions. The attending notaries happily traded business tips, networked, and shared money saving resources and ideas with each other. The Event was attended by many veteran notaries, as well as notaries new to the industry.
The meeting was a total success and Elite Notary Network received rave reviews from those that attended. Pat & Oscar’s provided top notch food and service.
