Freelance Writer Using Empire Avenue

I have, for no good reason whatsoever, decided to try out Empire Avenue as a way to both “improve my social networking” and have more fun with the same. In the end, however, I’m sure it’s nothing more than an attempt to further distract myself from my real work by adding another dimension to Twitter. Notice that I joined on a Sunday when my (and everyone else’s) streams are running light while people enjoy their real lives on the weekend.

I guess hitting refresh just wasn’t satisfying enough today.

Use this link to sign up for Empire Avenue and make me virtually rich. That means fake, online rich on only one website, if you were wondering.

I guess I should go find someone to buy shares in.

Squidoo Lenses Social Media Experiment

I’ve been building a couple of Squidoo lenses as part of an experiment to use social media more effectively for marketing and other promotion.  So far, I haven’t had the time to put much effort into them, but I think they are pretty nice anyway.

My most complete is the Investing Guides and Information one.

The more recent one is about Smart Retirement Planning and it looks pretty good too.

Of course, there is still a lot I can do with these lenses I have created.  The Squidoo online training website is called Squidoo University or SquidU although I’m not positive that it is actually affiliated with the company that runs the Squidoo website.

This one on self-directed IRA investing has more stuff like books and what not, but not any more information than mine.  Still, it looks a lot better, so I’ll have to keep working on it.
