Tough times in our business (supplementing income)

In this tough economy and the way our business is, I have had to supplement my income. I am now a representative for a company called ACN, which is a telecommunications company (backed 100% by Donald Trump). If you want to save money on your cell phones, TV, home security or would like to purchase a digital video phone, please give me a call at 805/466-1408 (home) or 805/712-3107 (cell). If you want to take a look at the website, go to ACNINC.COM or my website Birchfiel.acnrep.com

Announcement or Latest Tip

I put up an example on my own home page so that everyone can see how they might take advantage of the text box that everyone has. It is specific to your page only and anyone can click on your name or photo and be taken to your page. One idea I had was to use it to let people know what is going on with you at this time. For example, your working on a project with so and so and will be finished on a certain date. Or, you are doing only day calls and would look forward to hearing from any one interested in your service. You could also put a resume here for people to see. Anyone that has a IMDB page could put it here for easy reference. This text box allows you to create a link, upload a file, attach an image and of course text. You can use it for many things, these are just a few suggestions. You can change, add or delete things from here by just clicking "edit" This is a great place to promote yourself. Remember your profile is also a great place to let people know who you are. Use it to your best advantage.

TIP#1. You can rearrange the location of things on your My Page by just dragging and dropping. Make it your own.
Tip#2. If you need help understanding all the areas of interest here check out the HELP FILE I added in the notes area in the left column.
