Craigslist works. But there are other free online classifieds out there besides craigslist. As long as they are free, why not use them too. Get as much free exposure as possible. backpage.com is an example. It's set up a lot like Craigslist but has some interesting differences. Backpage.com seems to allow a broader range of ads. They will let you post as many ads as you want (in different cities) and you can promote your website with a link. They also have an affiliate program. You can actually make money using and promoting backpage.com. Click on the link below to take a look.

Anyway, it will be a great place for bums, and those aspiring to be bums, to hang out for minute and see what's going on. I'm new at this but I'm told I need to start collecting "likes" for some reason. Sooo...if you love your kids, "like" us. If you think bullying is wrong, please like us...oh yeah, and share...something. Apparently, "liking" crap isn't enough. You have to "share" crap too. Yeah, I see the irony too, we're all walking around with super computers in our pockets but at the end of the day we're all just share crappers. Having said all that, go over to www.facebook.com/rvbeachbum and like and share something. You know, if you think what Hitler did was bad.

My regular job and a terminal case of lazyness (I know I spelled it wrong...I'm feeling too lazy to fix it) has kept my progress low. On the to-do list is, getting to know the MLM company and what support it offers, setting up my personal webstore, which is offered free by the company, and talking to folks about the products and business opportunity. I have ordered a few catalogs to show and pass out. I'm ordering 20 or 30 brochures as well. I'll print out some business cards (using a template provided by the MLM company) today. Total investment so far is roughly $100. Have not made a sale or signed anyone up yet. And I've only had 1 (one) Margarita in the last 10 days. I definately need to schedule some business meetings!
