Fired on the First Day 2008-05-02 19:18:38 A little wisdom to start your weekend - remember to be grateful for what you have. A friend of mine was telling me a story earlier that made me remember how lucky I am to work for a laid back company.
He works at a small marketing firm in San Francisco and they hired a [...] Read more:Fired

Social Media Pays Off 2008-05-01 18:36:56 Whoever said that hanging around social media platforms never helped anyone is flat out lying. I’d like to think of myself as ahead of the curve in most situations. I try to be an early adopter whenever I can now. So I’ve been eager to jump onto the bandwagon with new social [...] Read more:Social

Do Directories Help Traffic? 2008-04-29 21:00:09 When I first started this blog back on Blogger last summer, I somehow got the idea that listing my blog in as many directories as possible was the way to go. I don’t think I read this anywhere but I think my theory was that as many links I could get to my website [...] Read more:Directories

Squished Boobs Save Lives 2008-04-26 10:45:52 Periodically we’re reminded that Affiliate Marketing isn’t entirely about making money. There are good things that can be done with the passive income that we make (or wish we made). Regardless, this is something that affects everyone - even men have mothers, girlfriends, wives, sisters, and daughters.
Missy Ward has started the campaign & [...] Read more:Lives
Who’s on YOUR A-list? 2008-04-25 14:00:35 What does it mean to be on the A-List? It’s subjective, I’m sure… A-List can be different depending on the industry, niche, subject, category, you name it. An actor on the A-List would never show up on the A-list of an affiliate marketer.
My A-List is pretty much the same people who appear in [...]

Changes A-Foot 2008-05-07 14:43:03 Frequent visitors here to TrishaLyn.com will notice that the design has changed, among other things. I haven’t updated in awhile because I’m trying to fix the issues first. This is all in an attempt to NOT corrupt my source feed.
As with all budding bloggers, I’ve screwed the pooch a bit and now having [...]

Tradeshow Madness 2008-05-08 16:14:30 Is there really a “trade show season”? I’ve heard this referred to time & again, but I seem to go year ’round so I don’t know what that season is! Yes, soon it will be time for me to hit the road again and make my rounds of the country in search of [...] Read more:Madness

Making It Big 2008-05-13 15:00:56 This week has been full of win, and it’s only Tuesday!
All the Cool Kids (and me)
My humble little blog TrishaLyn.com has been featured on Alltop.com under the Marketing category. Alltop is a digital magazine rack, per se. At each Alltop site, they display the latest five stories from 30+ sites on a single [...]
CourtesyCast 1 2008-05-13 09:00:42 I know in the podcast I say that I’m going to call this EthicsCast, but I’ve decided that CourtesyCast because it’s more appropriate. I’ve been meaning to talk about some common courtesy things to take into consideration when working. Some of these may be common sense, but you’d be surprised how many people [...]
Cribbed Content for May 9th 2008-05-12 15:15:01 Okay, I was sick on Friday so this is coming at you late. I know I should be drawn and quartered, but where else will you get this info? (That’s a rhetorical question, by the way.)
Digg is launching a new comment system soon. Maybe I’ll use it more often now that it will [...] Read more:Content

Affiliate Thing Post-Show 2008-05-15 20:20:56 On Tuesday I had the pleasure of co-hosting the AffiliateThing
podcast with Shawn Collins of Affiliate Summit. Let me start by saying that I was unaware that it’s a live show since I always listen to it on iTunes or GeekCast.fm. I listened to the recording last night that’s up over at GeekCast.fm and [...]

Swapping Business Cards & Mining New Leads 2008-05-19 09:30:52 When so much business success depends on who you know, it’s a wonder more businesses don’t make a concerted effort to network.

Free Toolsday for May 20th 2008-05-20 11:45:39 I learn so much just by hanging out on Twitter most of my day. I learned about a spectacular travel site called TripIt.com from Sam Harrelson.
This knocks TripAdvisor out of the park. I got on TripAdvisor thinking that it would be great a resource with all the reviews of hotels and attractions in the [...]
HOW Conference Post-Game Show 2008-05-22 14:50:05 Well I’m back in the Pacific Standard Time Zone after 4 days in Boston. To date, it’s safe for me to say that the HOW Design Conference has been the best for PsPrint to attend so far! About 80% of people stopping by our booth had never heard of us before, which isn’t necessarily bad. [...]
Cribbed Content for May 23rd 2008-05-23 13:00:00 This week has been nuts - I’ve been on both coasts, in three time zones, and multiple states of mind. Yesterday, I admit, was really hard to get my head back into an “office” frame of mind. Which includes coming back to blogging. So here’s the easy post of the week - [...] Read more:Content
