*you don’t have to post or respond to this, I just wanted you to know*
Hey Mott’s, I just got on and saw that you were having a bad day. You probably don’t remember me but I’m the anon who got my 1 year sobriety chip about a week ago. I just wanted to let you know that it’s ok and normal to feel this way sometimes, I know that when it happens it feels like an eternity but it’s not.
Little advice, distracting yourself from work for some time does help. I know it feels like your avoiding the problem, but sometimes you just need to turn that buzzing in your head off for a bit. I’m screwing myself over on this one but you should really consider taking a break from tumblr for a little while. If you believe me about anything believe me about this, no matter how much joy it brings you, too much can and will hurt you. It’s difficult to tune out all the negativity and demands in your head and probably online, but taking time to yourself doesn’t make you lazy or selfish. Don’t force yourself to do something that was supposed meant to bring YOU joy. Don’t post because you feel like you owe people.
I’m not saying that you need to quit writing altogether. By all means keep writing on your time, let the inspiration flow through you or let it come to a stop. Either way it’s going to be ok, I don’t know you but I have a feeling you didn’t start doing all this to please people. You had an idea and wanted to share it with a people who wanted to do the same.
*Btw, in your fun little hobby you managed to help a struggling alcoholic w/o even realizing it so... you’re kind of a hero* Don’t even bother trying to deny it, it just proves my point even more🖐😒
🥇🪙
HIIII!! I do indeed remember you!! It’s really early and I’m still kinda ruminating on yesterday so please forgive my brevity but words hard!
Trust me, writing and posting isn’t what I’m struggling with; it’s my schoolwork. I hate college and it makes me want to D word- writing and sharing stuff here is one of the only ways I’m staying sane! I don’t feel pressured to post here, the pressure and stress is all coming from real life unfortunately. Whenever y’all see me on here, it’s because I am taking time to myself away from other things 💖
I only wish I had more time to write because it does make me happy whereas school and now work more recently makes me want to physically leap out of my skin 🫠
#I wish my problems were as simple as not posting online at a certain schedule but I don’t have any posting schedules rn#anon asks.#answered.

After a few years of trial and error, I think I've finally found the perfect organization method.
In the early years of high school, I had a bullet journal. I was an artsy kid who found a way to combine art with organization in a way that benefited other parts of my life.
However, as I approached the end of high school, my schedule got busier, and I was involved in a lot more things, so owning a bullet journal was less practical. Because of that, I switched to an app called Edo Agenda.
I continued with digital planning in college since I knew I wasn't going to have as much time. But all the apps I tried out—Taskade, Actions by Moleskine, Any.do, Todoist, Wunderlist—weren't suited to my planning and organizational needs. They didn't have the specific functions I required and didn't incorporate an organization system I liked to use. The predefined apps were too restraining, but the more customizable apps weren't customizable enough.
So then I switched to a bare bones, uber minimalist bullet journal method. That worked pretty well my second semester. It was simple, portable, and most importantly, flexible—all the things one could wish for in a planning system. However, it wasn't always the most convenient to use since I couldn't effectively integrate all the different aspects of my life, which, to no surprise, is mostly recorded digitally.
There was just one huge problem with my digital organization system that made me hesitant to switch back in the first place: everything was fragmented. Notes were in Google Docs. Financial records were in Google Sheets. To-Do Lists were in my bullet journal. Team projects were in Trello. My poetry was on Bear. Things I wanted to try are carelessly pinned to random pinterest boards or added to my YouTube "watch later" playlist. It was a mess.
Over the summer, I found out about Notion from a friend, and I thought, this has so much potential, it could even be exactly what I need. It's essentially like an empty notebook on your computer with functions that make it 10x more powerful. Notion allows you to integrate all aspects of your life and work into one app. Some of the advantages that have made me partial to Notion are:
Even greater customization level. Notion is a blank canvas with tons of predefined blocks and different file types. You can make databases, spreadsheets, Kanban boards, to do lists, etc. Also, you can remain connected to other digital services. You can link websites, collaborate with other users, use different structures (e.g. documents, databases, tasks), embed images and videos, etc. There are also tons of formatting options, e.g. text color, highlight, heading v. body text.
Better organization. Notion allows you to have pages within pages within pages within pages—an infinite hierarchy that you can organize with tables of contents. These pages are made of blocks, e.g. tables, checklists, boards, databases. Both pages and blocks can be rearranged by simply dragging and dropping them to where you want them to be. In other words, I guess it's kind of like building a website to organize your life. Plus, their database feature is especially powerful as it allows you to connect all your data and get into as much detail as you wish (each entry in a database is its own page).
Templates. There are tons of templates created by both Notion and the community that you can use. These are especially helpful in the beginning since Notion does have a rather steep learning curve. There are template for almost every category: personal, planning, finance, job applications, design roadmap, etc. Check out their template gallery, this medium article called "10 Notion templates to inspire your use", or read on for my own examples!
Shortcuts. This makes typing and documenting so much faster. Notion uses Markdown, which is a text-to-HTML conversion tool, e.g. # = Heading 1, *, - = bullet point, etc.
Notion has some pretty awesome features, but how does one actually use it? Personally, I have four top-level pages: my planner, my personal journal, songwriting, and blogging.
Planner
I've been using my planner to, well, plan and track my day to day activities as well as my week and month. The way I've structured it is a calendar or monthly overview with links to pages of weekly overviews, and if needed, daily overviews within the weekly overview. This links things up so nicely, i.e. I don't have to be constantly flipping pages in my physical bullet journal or planner to find what I need.
I also have entertainment lists, which is mainly a table with all the shows I want to watch, the books I want to read, etc. I keep track of whether or not I've watched them, as well as my personal ratings. What I love most about this is that each entry is its own page, so I can type my notes for each book, show, or film and easily find them in the future. (Also the reason why I have plural “lists” instead of just one entertainment list is because you can filter entries by type of entertainment, e.g. movies, tv shows, books, articles.)
Personal
For personal notes, goals, journal entries, etc. This is kind of like an extension of my daily journal and just where I dump all my thoughts and keep track of the different aspects of my life: mental, emotional, spiritual, social, physical, and travel.
Another page I have is called "Stray Thoughts" and, well, it's pretty self explanatory. It's a lot easier to dump all my thoughts as they come and reorganize them later. Of course, this requires sacrificing the rawness of journaling, i.e. when the thoughts come and how you process them, which is why I still keep a regular journal that I write in daily.
Songwriting
I've been writing a lot of music over the summer and it's often hard to keep track of all of my songs and how far I've gotten in the songwriting process. So I created a table of songs - each entry of a song is a page with its lyrics. These are then tagged with the status of the lyrics (i.e. completed, in progress) and the status of the music itself (i.e. melody only, instrumental, mixing, mastering, revised). Eventually, I'll include demos in the database by embedding audio files in the document.
I have a separate section for inspiration and ideas, which is a kind of brain dump, e.g. words I think would make a good song, a certain theme for a song, a melody that's been stuck in my head, a vibe I'd like to try out, etc.
I've also been watching a lot of tutorials for music production and there's a section where I write my notes for that.
Eintsein
The last section of my Notion app is for this blog. Which has pages for
New posts. These are ideas for future posts, asks that I think would need longer answers, as well as posts that are currently in the draft stage (like this one was before I posted it)
Design assets. This is where I put all the visual branding material for Eintsein.com to be used in posts and any visual material on the blog.
FAQ. Having an FAQ document just makes it so much easier to make changes to your existing FAQ. Plus, if you ever change your FAQ theme, you just have to copy and paste what you already have.
Post directory. I keep track of all my previous masterposts, infographics, and generally longer and more comprehensive posts. It's the exact same as what you see on my Navigation page. And yes, the document contains direct links to the post.
New theme. A project I've been working on the past couple days is trying to create my own theme for my blog. This is where I put all my outlines, brainstorming notes, design inspiration, code snippets, etc.There are some pretty awesome features I’ve made use of in this page:
As you can probably tell, I'm absolutely obsessed with Notion since it has such awesome features and endless possibilities for customization. So far I've been using Notion for personal projects, which, since they are quite big in scale and have no set deadline, are important to organize well. My summer courses were only 6 weeks and weren't difficult to organize.
The formats above are just how I personally use notion. You could make some of your own, or if you don't think you want to build your pages from scratch, there are tons of templates to choose from. Here are some I think I'll be using in the near future and may be helpful for others as well, especially students like myself:
One drawback, however, is that Notion has a rather steep learning curve, but there are tons of tutorials online (especially YouTube) and I guarantee you it's all worth it.
Notion is not just a productivity app. It's a way to concretize your entire life.
Notion is free to use, but there are higher tiers that allow for more blocks, greater file size, etc. I use a personal account, which is $4 per month with unlimited block storage and no file upload limit (although I got it for $33/year). Personally I think the free plan would suit most people's needs, especially if you're not uploading large files.

Catching Feelings
Pairing: Ben Hardy x Joe Mazzello
Rating: T
This is for the anon who requested : “ i would like some hardzello. Like, they confess their love for each other.”
This was supposed to be a drabble but it’s a bit longer to be one so just take this as a one-shot. This is also (like) a continuation of my other hardzello drabble with the title: Forehead Kisses. It took me a week to write this. And lastly, treat this as Joe’s post-birthday one-shot. Hope you like it!
Joe had been thinking about that little make out session that happened back in Ben’s hotel room. At first, he tried to brush it off and just took it as their worldly desires getting the best of them - It happened, they’re old enough to know that. And not everything needed to have meanings, especially in this world where people just come and go. But now the thoughts and doubts that he’d been keeping at the back of his mind was knocking mercilessly on his head, making him unable to sleep. He’s back at his home, twisting and turning.
He took his phone from under his pillow and decided to read back the messages he and Ben exchanged the day he left Belfast.
Ben
Call or message me when you made it back.
Joe
Yes, mom.
Ben
Well, if it helps, I’m still standing here in the airport until your plane take off.
Joe
You still have to shoot. Don’t worry, I’ll call you. ;)
Ben
I’ve missed you, Joe. See you soon.
Joe
Ditto.
**void**
Joe
What does your comment supposed to mean? By the way, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to message at once. I reunited with my family. Go see my instagram story.
Ben
I saw and donated. Always know I’m here x
Anyway, what comment?
Joe
“I miss the sweet taste of your forehead against my lips.” and might I add the heart emoji.
Who’s it for?
(regarding the donation: Thank you so much!)
Ben
I think I’ve made myself fairly clear.
(anytime, mate x)
Joe
Okay. never mind.
Ben
Now what does that mean?
Joe recalled how Ben called him after he sent it. Replaying their convo in his head only made him giggle to himself.
“Idiot Benny,” he muttered. He suddenly ached for the blond’s presence. He curled himself up under the duvet.
* * *
The next day he found himself still thinking about the blond and the moments they had. His voice, his laugh, his scent, the calming warmth of his body and the feel his lips.
He almost coughed out the coffee he was sipping in. What the fuck? He lost all the appetite to continue his breakfast. He just felt strangely restless, and, suddenly, the thought of interacting with anyone kind of overwhelmed him.
So, he brought his unfinished cup of coffee on the sink, got dressed and drove to the Central Park and decided to go for a little jog, instead.
As usual the park was pretty crowded with people who go for a stroll or like him, have a little jog. He stopped by an empty bench and pulled his phone out after sticking the earphones in his ears to listen to some music on Spotify. Then a message notification from Ben appeared. His heart suddenly beats strangely fast. He stood there for a short moment, thinking whether he should check the message or… and he didn’t know why it seemed like a lot of work for him to check Ben’s message. He just ended up going on Spotify and played a lively music and started jogging. Ignoring his friend’s message.
He went around the park, and tried to focus on his jog and the surroundings, but the certain blond would pop up in his mind. He jogged his feet faster and soon he was running as he tried to keep himself from thinking about Ben. He stopped by the pond, panting so hard.
What is this?
He pushed the question at the back of his mind and blasted the music and let it filled his ears.
However, his struggle not to think about his friend didn’t stop there. He ended up sitting on the bench beside the pond, just letting his mind drift off to thinking about Ben. And the reason he had spent another sleepless night. The blond would never leave his head, it’s starting to make him crazy.
I’m not catching feelings for him, am I?
* * *
“I’ve been thinking about you. Miss you, bud.”
“Uhmm… I have something to tell you.”
“Hi, Joe. I hope you’re doing okay.”
Joe finally had the courage to read Ben’s messages a few days ago. He tightened his grip on the phone, biting his lips. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea after all.
He was actually expecting a lighter conversation but why was Ben talking like this?
It only added to the anxiety he has been having the past couple of days.
But on second thought, it might mean nothing. It’s normal for them to say such things, however he couldn’t avoid but to put meanings in his friend’s messages. Maybe because he has feelings for him, and he was kind of hoping that he felt the same way too.
Then he started typing and deleting and typing a message for almost a minute or two. Make up your mind, Joe.
And he ended up typing a much simpler message: ‘I’m fine. I miss you too…’
But soon he deleted it too as it sounded almost true.
‘It sounded a little desperate.’ Joe thought.
Joe
‘I’m fine.’
He finally hit the ‘send’ button and not long after, Ben had responded. Joe didn’t notice that he was online. Shit!
Ben
‘Joe, mate, how have you been?’
and he sent another…
‘Shooting have been pretty tight in my schedule.
...And it’s your birthday tomorrow.’
Shit! Joe had almost forgotten that it’s his birthday tomorrow.
Ben
‘What’s the plan?’
He realized, he got no plan at all. Maybe he’d just throw a simple party in his house and he would invite his family and some friends near him.
Ben continued sending him messages. And Joe wanted to say that he’s supposed to be busy and his schedule was tight, right? So what’s he doing and talking to him here instead. But he missed him and he always wanted to talk to him. Act normal, Joe! Dammit!
So, he decided to keep things light, especially Ben has no idea what’s going on with him and his little dilemma.
Joe
‘Can you come by here though?’
Joe smiled to himself. It sounded almost a dare but it was just a joke.
Ben
‘I wish I could. So I could give you another kiss. ;)’
Joe’s heart stopped beating and his body froze. He was at a loss of words and he found his fingers shaking. He closed the app and got up from his bed, leaving his phone there and decided to start the day.
He went to do the same routine, skipped his breakfast and went for a jog. He had a little grocery shopping after. And by the afternoon, he called Lucy to help him for the preparations, decorating his house.
“Can I tell you a secret?” Joe asked as he was busy pumping a balloon.
“I was actually hoping to surprise you on your birthday, Joe. That’s the essence of it all, right?”
“It’s okay. And I might have had a little bit of an idea if you do and that wouldn’t be a surprise anymore.”
“Yeah.” She chuckled lightly. “So, what’s your secret?” She stopped tying ribbons on the balloons and looked up to him.
Joe suddenly wanted to take it back and talk about other things instead, but here he was, struggling on how he would say it. He suddenly became fidgety and started pumping another balloon. Lucy hesitantly continued her job on tying ribbons.
“It’s… Ben.”
“Oh. Okay?” Lucy looked at him, stopping whatever she was doing altogether. Interest was suddenly visible in her eyes.
“Promise me, you won’t tell anyone.”
“All right. I promise.”
Joe moved his eyes down the yellow balloon he was working on and looked back at Lucy. “Aren’t you … erm...going to say anything?” He could see that she wanted to say something.
“Like what? That I think you and Ben are in some kind of secret relationship?”
“I knew it!” Joe at once dropped the balloon and the pump down, causing the balloon to shrink until all its air was gone.
“Hey! What?” Lucy giggled.
“No. No, we don’t. We are not! And that’s the problem.” He sighed and his eyes drifted elsewhere but not looking at her. “I’m confused, Luce. We kissed. Well, he kissed me first. I mean, I asked him to, so to make Gwil jealous and I don’t know how it all started and the next thing I know is that we’re kissing.” He took another sigh but heavier this time.
“Oh my God! Why am I not surprised? Haven’t you been kissing all along though?”
“Lucy, I’m being serious here.”
“Okay, go on.”
“Suddenly, I couldn’t stop putting meanings in every message Ben sent me and heck! I haven’t had a decent sleep for two nights now!”
“What were his texts, if you don’t mind?”
“Well, it’s normal for us to drop I miss you’s from time to time, but after that kiss, I don’t know. Maybe I just want to think that there is something more into his messages. God, I don’t know.”
“You’re in love with him, Joe.”
Everything seemed to start crumbling around Joe upon hearing it and confirming the reality he so tried to avoid.
He couldn’t be having feelings for him.
It looked like the joke was getting real.
“Joe?” Lucy’s voice was faint in his ears.
He looked back to her. “What should I do? How do I stop this?”
“Seriously, how old are you, Joe? You’ll be turning 36 by tomorrow. You’re old enough to figure that out.”
“No, I don’t. I haven’t fallen in love with a… a guy!”
“You two are being too flirty and I can’t believe you’re acting like this like you’re scared.”
“I am!”
“Talk to him. It’s the only thing to make your mind and heart at ease. To let it go.”
“H-How? Maybe I should just block him and stop talking with him.”
“That’s even worse, Joe. Do you value your friendship?”
“I do. I love him, Luce!” He paused. He couldn’t believe he just said it out loud. But it’s true, Ben had became an important person in his life, even before he became aware that he had feelings for him.
“There’s your answer, Joe. So, stop acting like a kid and be a man instead.”
Joe closed his eyes and sighed. “Okay.”
* * *
That night, Joe has been staring at his phone, lying on his bed, facing the ceiling, thinking whether he should call Ben. He had been playing conversations in his head on how he would tell him how he feels. This was even harder than the very first time he had confessed his feelings to his crush back in high school. As this was real shit. And It could turn into something more, or worse, could break their friendship.
He blew another sigh. Damn it!
His body was shaking and he couldn’t relax. He was starting to feel cold and sweaty. He had been teasing his thumb whether he should click the call button on Ben’s contact profile. He heaved a deep sigh and finally, brought his phone down, and covered his eyes with his forearm.
Ben, I have something to tell you… I think I’m- Too cliché.
I have a really serious problem- Nope.
Ben.. I like you….
...shit.
He had already imagined all the reactions that might play on Ben’s face if he learned of his unexpected feelings for him. And there was a big chance the he would push him away. That simple thought, hurt him deeply. It wasn’t just a crush or a simple platonic love he had for him. It’s more than that. So much more.
“This is harder than I thought,” Joe muttered. Damn! But I’ve been through numerous relationships and break ups before. This should be easy.
He braced himself of what’s to come. This is now or never.
Then he went to brought his phone back to his face.
* * *
‘Happy Birthday to me!’ Joe thought to himself.
He failed letting the blond know of his feelings. He’s still lying flat on his bed and he brushed his hands on his face. You should be having a blast right now, fucker!
With a heavy sigh, he pulled himself up out of the bed and jogged to the kitchen, trying to hype himself up.
But in the age he was in, birthday felt like just any other day except the non-stop text messages and ringing of notifications from his social media, greeting him a happy birthday! Just thinking about that simply made him smile.
So he started decorating his house alone. But there it was again, the feeling of loneliness slowly creeping in. While some people his age have found the one they wanted to spend their life with. Heck, Allen would be a father soon.
Why now? Not now, please! I need to get through this day! It’s my day! My fucking birthday!!!
Then he tried again but it felt like he’s forcing himself to decorate and celebrate his birthday. Later he threw the colorful flags he was about to hang over the ceiling on the floor with a huff. He marched back on his room and took his phone and went to his convo with Ben, planning to call him. The blond sent him a simple birthday message. He stopped all at once, his fingers started to shake a little again like last night, along the drumming of his heart.
He started typing, attempting to tell him how he feels. But he ended up with a simple…
Joe
Thanks.
He threw his phone back on the bed. And decided to just keep the decorations and cleaned his house.
I wish someone would kindly give me, at least, a one way ticket back to Europe as a gift.
He ended up spending his birthday outside. Lucy had called him if he ever needed his help but he told her that he had changed his mind.
His birthday was uneventful. Well it’s nothing new, he had stopped celebrating his birthday as far as he could remember.
Maybe celebrating it even for himself wouldn’t be as bad. So he treated himself, went to go a little shopping for new clothes but he ended up buying nothing. So, he just went to see a show in cinema, and drinking in a bar later that afternoon, while immersing himself to the birthday greetings he received in the social media, feeling thankful. It had eased the loneliness he’s been feeling, realizing how much people out there appreciated him. It’s more than he could ask for.
Feeling a bit tipsy, he went back home and he squinted his eyes through the darkness to his front porch as he saw a figure sitting there. Soon, alarm surged through him and he began feeling his body for some kind of makeshift weapon, just anything would do, but all he had was his sunglasses, wallet and phone. He took a hold of his phone.
He tiptoed closer, his grip on his phone tightened, should he call 911?
But he accidentally stepped on stupid branch lying somewhere which made a soft cracked noise that echoed through the silent neighborhood.
The stranger pulled his head up from his arms that were curled on his knees.
“Joe?”
Joe’s heart stopped completely hearing that familiar voice coming from the stranger. He blinked a few more times to take a clearer view on the stranger’s face and soon he stopped walking. What are you doing here? He wanted to ask.
“Hey.” Ben silently said as he stood up, a bag in his hand.
“H-hey. H-how long have you been sitting-sleeping there?” Joe shifted on his weight.
“ A good few hours, I’m sure.”
* * *
Lights slowly brightened up the lonely looking house of Joe as they got in.
“Happy birthday, I guess.” Ben muttered through the silence.
“Thanks and make yourself at home.” Joe said as he continued opening the other lights.
Ben made himself comfortable on the couch, then roamed his eyes around. He had been here before as he was in the middle of shooting another show of his, a few months ago. And nothing has changed, only the pillow cases and the curtains.
“Have you at least eaten anything?” Joe stood by the edge of the couch. Despite the slight smirk on his lips, why does his eyes looked sad? Ben couldn’t help but notice.
“No, I haven’t actually.” He sheepishly rubbed his nape.
“You should’ve text or called.” Joe said as he started to make his way on the kitchen and Ben followed.
“I was thinking of surprising you. But, alas, I was the one who got surprised instead. More of concerned to be honest. Your place looked as dead.”
Joe started to boil water in a pot and took the pasta out. “Can you wait for an hour or two?”
Then Ben’s stomach growled.
Joe turned the stove off, at once. “Guess that’s a no.” Then he started to pace towards the exit.
“Wait, Joe.”
“Come on, we’re going to buy you a dinner, kiddo.” The ginger continued going outside with Ben in tow. They just went to the nearest convenience store, which thankfully served some cheap take outs.
As they got back, they settled in Joe’s living room, in front of the television, watching some random movie on Netflix with low volume.
“Are you all right, mate?” Ben asked as he started munching on his take out.
Joe stared at him without speaking for a good minute. “Yes.” He looked away. “I just… didn’t expect you, ‘is all.” He shrugged. “How long are you going to stay here? I thought your schedule was tight.”
“I’ll go back after tomorrow. You’re that special to me, Joey.” He smirked.
Joe felt the butterflies go wild in his stomach upon hearing it. This was his chance. His only chance. He should not let any seconds go to waste. But how? The thought of Ben suddenly running away, from only staying for less than an hour in his house was the last thing he wanted.
His mind ran a full hundred eighty degrees, as he started thinking of how he should confess or play this whole thing out.
“Is everything really fine, Joe?”
Ben caught him out of his own bubble, he blinked a few times. “Yeah. Yes, I am. I’m sorry that all you have to eat on my birthday is a take out.”
The blond feigned disappointment. “I’m glad you’re aware.” Then they chuckled
“Call me next time, then.”
Silence…
Say something, Joe.
He cleared his throat. “So...there’s something I want to tell you.”
This is it.
Ben hummed, looking at him expectantly, as he chewed on his food.
“Later. Later. Finish your food first.”
Then Joe flicked his eyes on the television without really understanding a thing.
* * *
None of them spoke after, only simple things but nothing important as they started to clean out their mess in the living. Then they changed into their pajamas after a little shower and settled in the bedroom, where both of them were already lying flat on the bed.
Joe wasn’t sure if this was the appropriate place to begin with. He had been playing this scenario in his head but it was still different when you’re in the actuality of it. Confessing had never been easy after all.
“Uhm… Ben?” He tilted his head to his friend who always looked good since the very first time he laid his eyes on him.
And Ben turned to him at once. “There is something I want to tell you.”
Joe raised a brow questioningly. Then bit his lip as he slowly nodded his head. “‘Kay.”
Ben slowly shifted and turned his body more towards him, seeking support on one of his arms. “I know this is a surprise visit, but I actually go all the way here because… I had to see you. And it’s not only because it’s your birthday.”
Joe’s heart started to race and he didn’t know why. He couldn’t keep it from beating faster.
“I… I want to let you know that…” Ben heaved a deep sigh, closing his eyes, and that simple gesture didn’t fail to steal Joe’s breath away. His greens slowly opened and his gaze became gentler. Joe could swear that he was seeing an actual angel just by looking at his friend. And he was so keeping himself from taking those lips again.
“Back at Belfast. When we kissed. It isn’t just a kiss, at least for me. I … I’ve always wanted to…I just...Fuck! I just wanna let you know that I love you, Joe.” Ben closed his eyes shut but briefly, and he at once lied back down on the bed.
Joe stayed there, completely frozen. What is that? He was busy admiring his friend and the last thing he heard was those three words.
“G-good night, bud.” He heard Ben mumbled. He frantically, pulled half of his body up and looked at Ben.
“I-is that true?” His words came out breathless as his heart was going to burst anytime, he swore.
And yet Ben seemed to avoid meeting his gaze. But Joe waited; And later, he moved his green eyes on him, then he nodded.
Joe melted by that sight. Why does he have to always look cute?
Joe couldn’t help and gave his nose a peck, smiling. But Ben suddenly sat up and so did Joe out of surprise.
“What is that?” Ben furrowed his brows.
“Uhm.. I-”
“Say it, Joe. Say that you love me.”
The ginger’s cheeks glowed. And he bit his lower lip to keep himself from smiling even more. Then he nodded his head. “Yes.” He giggled, still bopping his head. “Yes, Ben. I love you. And I’ve been thinking of ways how-”
He was silenced by Ben’s soft kissable lips and he could kiss him for as long, or maybe, for forever if he could.
And this was the best birthday and the best gift he ever received.

When I was a kid, there was always something I wanted to buy. The problem was, I usually had spent all my birthday money and my parents were not in the habit of buying me whatever I wanted just because. If I wanted to buy something, I needed to learn how to make money as a kid.
It was much harder to make money when I was a kid because we didn’t have the internet with all these great ideas! Now, with a quick search, you can end up on an awesome web page like this to figure out exactly how you can start earning money – at any age!
For you grownups reading this post, there are also great ideas for you to make a little extra money on the side as well!
An Easy Way To Make Money As A Kid – If You’re 13 Years Old Or Older
Are you thirteen years old or older? If so, I have a great idea for you. With your parent’s permission, you should sign up for Survey Junkie! It is a completely free website that will pay you $1 – $3 dollars for every survey you take.
It not only is a simple way to make extra money, but it is relatively simple to start making a few extra bucks in a short amount of time.
You won’t get rich from taking online surveys but they can certainly make you extra money in your spare time.
To sign up for Survey Junkie for free and to start making extra money, click my link here or click the banner below.
Online surveys, as long as they do not require you to be 18 years old or older, are a great way for kids to make money at home. Making money as a kid online was not something that I had the opportunity for when I was younger. If you have a smartphone and a little extra free time, there are tons of ways for you to make extra money!
Making money fast as a kid online has never been easier than taking surveys!
How To Teach Your Kids The Value Of Money And Work
I just want you to know that it took everything in me not to start this section out with, “back in my day.” The truth is, things are different now from how they were 30+ years ago. Change isn’t necessarily bad, but there is definitely generational differences.
It seems that each generation is better off than the last. As parents, we want our kids to have everything we didn’t when we were younger. Unfortunately, this can create a bunch of kids that are spoiled brats that don’t understand how work and money are tied together.
We all know those kids who get whatever they want without working for it. The entitlement factor is extremely high and unfortunately, these kids struggle as they get older. As adults, we understand that in order to feed your family, you need to go to work. Nothing in this life is free, as you are aware.
How We Teach Our Children About Money
In our home, our three children do not get an allowance. An allowance is too similar to conditioning my kids to get free money – for doing nothing. I want my kids to understand that money is directly tied to work and we do this by paying them for completed chores.
You could also refer to it as commission. My kids get a commission for completing certain tasks.
My wife recently picked out a magnetic chore chart that we use on a weekly basis. Each kid gets a list of chores that they can complete to be paid at the end of the week. Because I have three kids and I don’t want to go broke, we offer $1 dollar per completed chore. They each get 5 chores they can complete on a weekly basis.
By doing this, in a worst-case scenario, I could be out $60 a month if all my kids did all their paid chores. It’s a small price to pay to teach them about responsibility and good work habits.
If you’re interested in which chore chart we use, you can find it on Amazon.com through this link here. Pictures of the chart we use are below.
If you’re a kid reading this, this may be a great way to make some extra money. Just tell your parents how much more responsible you will be if you learn the value of doing chores for money!
**On a side note, my kids also have “regular” chores they are required to do that they are not compensated for.
Make Money Fast As A Kid – At Any Age (6 Great Ways)
Here I will give you a list and explanation of some of the best ways you can start to make money. It involves a little work but you will make more money by doing some of these chores as opposed to online surveys.
Recycle Aluminum Cans Cans For Cash
This was probably my favorite way to make money when I was young. We would collect cans at home in a separate bin and take the cans to a recycler when the bin filled up. With an entire bin, I usually could make about $30 dollars from the collection.
When I needed extra money, I would go around the neighborhood and look for cans or check trash cans for soda cans that people threw away. Not only can you make extra money by looking for cans, but you can also clean up the neighborhood!
Recycle Plastic And Glass Bottles For Money
In a similar vein, some states will pay you for glass and plastic bottles in good condition. Unfortunately, in Arizona, we don’t have these types of recycling facilities. However, we frequently visit California and we recycle our bottles when we are visiting there.
Side note – it is illegal to transfer recyclables from one state to another in order to cash them in. You can only recycle cans and bottles for cash if they were purchased in that state.
Help Your Parents With A Garage Sale
More than likely, your parents have a house filled with stuff they no longer use. Work with your parents and see if they would be willing to help you organize a yard sale.
Honestly, most of us adults would love to have a yard sale next weekend to get rid of a bunch of stuff we don’t need. Unfortunately, we usually lack the motivation to actually organize and put together a yard sale. This leads to more and more stuff piling up that needs to go.
If you offer to do most of the work, which includes labeling and organizing, you may be able to get your parents on board. As adults, the less work we need to do – the better. Offer to do some of the more tedious processes and you may be surprised by our answer!
A weekend garage sale can easily bring in over $100 if you have enough stuff to sell. Make sure you put plenty of signs out in the neighborhood and post on Nextdoor.com to let people know about the sale!
Run A Lemonade Stand In Your Neighborhood
This tried and true business model has stood the test of time! I’m pretty sure that even my grandparents had a lemonade stand when they were younger. No seriously – I bet they did.
Last month there were two kids who set up a lemonade stand in our neighborhood and from the amount of traffic that stopped, I’m sure they made a ton of money!
Believe it or not, but it’s hard for us grownups to drive past some cute kids who are trying to make a couple of bucks selling lemonade. In addition, most people will give you even more money than you were asking for.
For the absolute best tasting lemonade, use this recipe:
Basic Ingredients For The Best Lemonade:
2 Cups Of Sugar
3 Limes
5 Lemons
1/2 Of An Orange
1 Lemon (thinly sliced)
Step By Step Instructions:
Cut in half and squeeze the 5 lemons, 1/2 an orange, and 3 limes into a large pitcher (at least one gallon).
Add two cups of sugar, one cup of hot water and stir until all the sugar dissolves.
After the sugar is dissolved, fill the rest of the pitcher up with cold water and add the thinly sliced lemons.
Pro Tip: Before serving, make sure you add ice. No one likes warm lemonade!
Walk The Neighbors Dogs
Adults are notoriously busy people and rarely have time to walk their dogs. As you may know, dogs need exercise and should be walked daily. If you know one of your neighbors who has a friendly dog, offer to walk their dog on specific days.
Tell them you are saving up money for something special and ask if they would be willing to pay you for your time. If you ask nicely, they may pay you more than you thought they would.
Water The Plants At Home
If all the plants or gardens at your house are not on an automatic timer, your parents know how exhausting it can be to water the plants every week. If you offer to take over the watering schedule and are reliable, you may be able to make a few extra bucks each week!
Have a conversation with your parents to see if this is possible or what other jobs they would be willing for you to do in order to be paid.
How Teenagers Can Make Money
The older you get, the more potential you have to make even more money. This is true in your adolescent years as well as your adult years. Check out some of these great ideas to make money as a teen!
Mow Lawns And General Yard Work
If your neighbors have grass in their front and back yard, I’m willing to bet they would rather someone else do it if the price was right. Many adults, like me, do our own yard work because hiring a landscaper is expensive.
Due to the price, I am forced to mow my own yard each week and do my best to keep up with the weed pulling and tree trimming.
I do this because some ambitious neighborhood kid has not come by and offered to do my yardwork for a lower price. The landscaper in our neighborhood charges $100 dollars a month to come by every two weeks. If some neighborhood kid offered to mow my grass twice a month for $50 bucks, I would take it in a heartbeat!
While $50 a month may not sound like a lot, it can quickly add up if you are able to work for 4-5 people in your neighborhood. That $50 per yard could quickly turn into $200 a month for you!
Babysitting
If you are in your teenage years, you may be a great candidate to babysit other peoples younger kids. Many of us wish we could go out with our spouse more often but we often feel guilty asking family members to do it for free. For the right price, you may be the right person for the job!
Before you start asking around for babysitting jobs, I recommend you attend a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), certification class.
If someone stops breathing and their heart quits pumping, CPR can jump start their heart and save their life! By using simple CPR techniques, you can save kids and even adults. In short – CPR SAVES LIVES!
You can find a local class online here. Having this certification will not only make the parents feel better about you watching their kids, but you could actually need to use it to save a life! Knowing CPR is an awesome skill to have – I strongly recommend you attend a class before babysitting.
Sell Your Work On Fiverr
Are you a teenager who loves computers and has a knack for designing things? If you are 13 years old or older, you can take orders from people who need specific things done for their business.
On Fiverr, you can sell services to people who want you to:
Design a logo
Designing a poster
Editing a photograph
Writing a short song or introduction jingle
There are a ton of other services you can sell on Fiverr if you are a creative person. To find out more, head over to Fiverr here and see how you can make money!
Here is a great step by step tutorial on how to start selling services on Fiverr:

Host A Neighborhood Carwash
If you have a few buckets and old cloths/towels lying around, you could use them to wash cars for donations. Every weekend in my city, it seems I drive past at least a couple of car wash fundraisers.
A couple of things you will need to prepare to have a car wash:
Buy soap and sponges
Get permission from a local business to have the carwash in their parking lot
Get permission to use their water
Bring your own hose
Bring plenty of sun screen, drinking water, and friends or family to help you!
Be sure to advertise with signs or people directing traffic in
House And Pet Sitting
Many of us as adults hate going on vacations because we know we will have to find someone to watch our animals. If you love animals, you could be the perfect solution for many of us who have a hard time finding people to watch our dogs and cats.
Knowing that a reliable teenager can come by every day and feed our animals lifts a huge burden off our backs. If you think you could play with animals for an hour or so and make sure to feed and water them every day, pet sitting may be perfect for you! Even if you’re only getting $10 dollars a day, that can quickly add up with a minimal amount of work.
Great places to post an advertisement for house or pet sitting would be:
Your Church
Local Library
School Office
Nextdoor.com
Word of mouth
How Kids Should Spend And Save Their Money
If you give a child $10 dollars, what do they want to do with it? I can tell you that from experience – spend it immediately!
This last weekend I paid my kids for doing their chores. My middle son is not always the most ambitious and only made $3 dollars for what he had done the previous week. We sat down on Sunday and I paid him his earnings.
Right after I paid him, he immediately asked if we could go to the grocery store so he could buy something he saw in the checkout lane that was only $1. It’s apparent he is going to be my kid with a spending problem if we don’t get it into check immediately.
Changing Your Child’s Bad Spending Habits
I sat him down and we had a brief discussion about materialism and buying things just to spend money. After our conversation, he understood that buying that item was probably not a good item – but he still wanted to buy it.
Because of his inclinations, we have money envelopes set up for the kids. They each have a save, spend, and give envelope. Each time they are paid, they are required to put a certain amount into each envelope. By doing this, we are training them to know that when they receive money, it doesn’t mean that they should spend every last cent. Teaching these good money habits early on is extremely important.
If you’re interested in which money envelopes we use at my house, you can find the ones we use here on Amazon.com.
Encourage Your Kids To Work For Rewards
Allowing kids to make money when they are young gives them a sense of responsibility and independence. Avoid giving your kids an allowance just for existing. Encourage them to work for commission – just like the real world!
If they are trained to work for the things they want, they will grow up much more prepared to add value to this world in order to provide for their future families!

Scared to death and excited all at once… I appreciate the simple logic that you provide as I agree that having a good username is a great opportunity to make a positive association. Be my guest to email the guy and tell him his username sucks. All because of a simple snazzy name change. That man I mentioned earlier, is looking for someone much younger than me, even though is he only two years younger than I am. How do we get back in the dating game though? That means ones that reflect how you appear now, not when you were 30 pounds lighter or 15 years younger.
Melani Robinson You may be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. Here we have plenty of people just like you who are hoping to find the one or take a second chance at love! This is a creative way to use Thanksgiving ingredients in a way that tastes totally different. Whether people wish to be honest or otherwise, exactly what a person appears like continues to be top reason behind anyone to consider them for any mate. No matter what a person posts for public display, if he or she is in your age range, there is likely to be evidence of that age. Regular readers of this blog will note two changes in my personal profile. As the stigma associated with online dating fades — and smartphone use rises — millions have turned to apps and sites such as Match, eharmony, Bumble and Tinder to find romance. Here is an example of some great words I found by looking up the synonyms of happy.
Over 50 Online Dating By visiting our website you will be able to find other serious singles so you can meet new friends, find romance or simply meet up online with people sharing similar interests and hobbies as you! Dating is definitely not the same as it used to be. I didn't go to bars, clubs, etc. According to a particular school of thought people tend to explore and understand the real meaning of love only after they cross the threshold of 40. On the contrary it is more about some in-depth feelings as well as a sense of commitment. Members should get to know a potential date well before agreeing to meet.

Top 11 Social Media Tasks For Your Virtual Assistant to Handle
Now, that you have got your VA installation with access, it's
Important to provide them an orientation on how you manage social media yourself.
To make this as easy as you can on both you, and your
Digital staff, I've kept things simple here, but contained all the most crucial social networking tasks you ought to be engaging inside.
If you you'd like to see me run through them, Rather than read, I have put together another tutorial movie for you, under:
1.Content-driven environment. People expect you to churn out value, even at 140 characters. This is the reason why links and quotes are so popular whether on Facebook, or LinkedIn. They're just very easy to digest.
Finding quotes, links and graphics Which You Can share may be Quite time consuming. Enter the virtual assistant.
Your VA to use Facebook's internal scheduling attribute instead of Hootsuite. Facebook can have issues with third party apps, where articles scheduled using such tools actually get less exposure -- so keep that in mind for the'big brother' of social networking.
2. Tracking and Engaging with Your Audience -- One mad Tweet left unanswered can become a PR shitstorm. That's why public personalities and brands spend a great deal of time and money on managing social websites.
wingman. They can help you set up alerts and feeds to monitor mentions of your name, your services and products, your manufacturer, etc., around the internet. You can use Tweetdeck, Google Alerts or even the trendy provider, Mention.net.
I like this service, since it sends an email to you (or your
VA!) Daily telling you who is mentioning you around the web. You simply click on the hyperlinks to see exactly what they said, and can react accordingly -- if it is a simple'thanks for mentioning me', or'hey, lets talk and type out this'. Excellent instrument and free to get started with -- even though it restricts the number of those mentions it tells you around, until you update to the pro edition.
If you are using Hootsuite, create streams/feeds for certain
Keywords and @mentions and your VA can monitor things directly from inside the dashboard, and manage things accordingly.
3. Building & Managing your Network -- Ask your VA to
Follow / buddy / join with new people based on criteria. On Twitter, your VA will also need to unfollow men and women who aren't active on Twitter, or appear to be spam.
ManageFiltter. This service allows you to unfollow people that you've followed ; do not accompany you back, are inactive, have no profile picture, don't speak English and much more. Additionally, it lets you follow several folks with just a stroke of your hand, as well as filter and then copy another individual's followers. You can also use the service to automatically follow people who followed .
I recently did a Enormous purge on my Twitter account, and ended Up with a much stronger looking profile from a societal proof perspective. Below you'll see the before and after images -- and I am sure you'll see very clearly what I mean. Also, but now my Twitter newsfeed only lists tweets from those that I truly wish to follow for any reason.
The numbers have changed a little since these screenshots Were completed, but you'll find the point!
I'd my VA use ManageFiltter to handle that task, and it
Media, and sharing and sharing on content which is not your own is essential to creating your network. Boost industry leaders on your market (thus elevating and promoting your own profile). Maintain a 70/30 rule and only link back to your site out three of each ten shares. An overly promotional strategy won't go down well with your followers. That is where photos, videos and quotations come in handy.
You Might Have seen a few of my Facebook pictures lately which Market my brand by way of an image.
There are lots of different ways to encourage social Interaction on the internet. Together with my weekly planner template further down the post, here are some ideas to get you started, all of which can be handled by your virtual staff:
Add a movie from Youtube and comment.Share relevant link or article in your niche.Straightforward status upgrade (Ex. "I enjoy donuts on the weekend --What's your cure to yourself?") .
Interaction on free pages/comments/news feed
Monitoring.
Like pages within your specialty.Like and interact with the biggest names in your niche.Inspirational and Funny Pictures and Quotes.Thank fresh followers.Socialize with re-tweeters and replies.
4.Business owners, social media ROI is hard to measure, and I really do agree. This is why you've got to have targets, even when it has to do with social websites. You need to define your goals so that you'll know whether social networking is working for��you. Listed below are a few examples of social media goals Which You Can put in place and have your VA step and keep track of:
Boost your Facebook enjoys by 40% within the next 3-months.Get to 1000 Twitter followers by the close of the month.Focus on building awareness of a landing page via twitter, With routine tweets throughout the month.
Up from your VA every few weeks, or every month. It'll track enjoys, followers, RTs, @mentions, and link-backs, amongst other stats which you wish handy to figure out where your societal focus should be.
5. Social networks update their layout. Twitter upgraded the profile layout this past year. YouTube just recently changed channel design to add cover art and a station trailer.
You won't need to"miss" these updates if You've Got a VA on Top of items. And also the importance of getting a similar picture across all networks so that people immediately realize you and your services. Ensure this is complete for all social networks and the about pages are current.
6. Managing Your Facebook Advertising -- If you are planning on Expanding your audience using Facebook Advertising, then you can get you VA set up the Ad campaigns according to your criteria.
Your VA can also track and report the outcomes of the Ad campaigns. When working with paid ads it is crucial to split test with pictures and anchor text to determine which adds record the most beliefs and generate the most leads/sales. Check out the first ever installment of the New Business Podcast with Facebook expert, Amy Porterfield for much more Facebook hints and tricks!
7.Virtual helper create a Facebook page for your business, or side jobs. Many online entrepreneurs have over one hustle (envision that!!!) , and this can indicate a demand for at least 1 account with different social networks. These take time to establish and new Twitter accounts also require you to set up, with a fresh email address.
Why waste time doing so when you can have your VA do it?
8. Planner in place for your everyday status upgrades is a good way to be certain that'something' is going out on a daily basis. This doesn't need to be too intricate. Just pick the social programs you're most active on (for me in Facebook, Twitter and Google+, since you can see below in the example image), and also have your VA set ideas together for you.
It together on a weekly basis, or monthly Skype chat.
9. Spruce up your page, there is a program for it! Facebook Apps can be a bit of a pain to install. Have your VA search for the apps you'd love to have on your own page and install them. I suggest having an Internet Developer VA handle this task for you personally, if at all possible.
10. To get folks sharing your articles and connected to a social network. Make it something that will get people excited. Even a Kindle giveaway could bring in a lot of hype for your own brand. Try to make the competition involve something which engages people and undergo how you want things encouraged along with your VA, so that they understand what to do, and what not to do (and guarantee!) .
11. Competition is a big part of any successful business model and you ought to be gathering valuable information on what it is that your competitors are doing on social networking.
Have they been growing quicker than you? What are they sharing? Are they hosting contests? These are all questions that you should be asking yourself. If your competition is progressing more quickly across their social networking accounts, then you have to ascertain what their social networking strategy is and repeat it better then they're doing. You can have your own VA take screenshots of their largest competitors in your niche and compare their growth together with yours on a monthly basis, along with what it is they have been doing.
Conclusion
You can't Start to imagine the freedom you will have when You stop spending hours on societal websites every day.
The Issue with social websites is that it sucks you in, like
I stated earlier. You can't honestly say that every time you log into Facebook,
You don't get side-tracked and begin browsing. People spend far too much time Being unproductive when on social sites. This Isn't good business sense from the 21st century and the best way to solve this problem would be to have your own VA manage Your social accounts, which means that you can focus on the money making aspects of your business.

What is Integrated Marketing and How Does it Work?
This week I showed a training session on Structure an Integrated Advertising Strategy as part of our Marketing Superhero Bootcamp collection. I was a bit bewildered at the number of inquiries at the end of session, so I thought it would certainly be much better to in fact respond to the questions via our blog site. This is the very first of approximately five messages on different concern towns connected to my Integrated Marketing presentation.
Of the greater than 70 concerns uploaded in the chatroom, they mainly fell under these 5 groups, for which I will be doing a blog each:
Integrated Advertising parts as well as bringing all of it together (this blog post)
Prioritizing Integrated Advertising Channels
How to be effective at Integrated Marketing (or advertising at all) at tiny business or non-profits
Integrated Marketing metrics and also budget
Developing your go-to-market strategy and personas
What is Integrated Marketing?
Let's begin with the meaning, specifically for those of you that did not join our bootcamp. Integrated Advertising and marketing is unifying typical and also non-traditional advertising networks as well as applying consistent branding, messaging as well as techniques, and using cross-channel promos so networks strengthen and also strengthen each other.
With the number of marketing networks boosting daily, the demand for an integrated strategy to advertising and marketing has come to be more essential compared to in the past. If we maintain marketing techniques or networks in silos, we are not gaining the amount of any of them. By leveraging each other and also creating constant styles, material and dreams, our combined advertising efforts climbs the entire ship, causing more success not just for advertising and marketing however likewise to buy, income as well as the company overall.
How Could I Bring the Parts Together?
First, you have to locate all the pieces. Possibly this is evident in your world, however I could inform you I have actually had numerous encounters where my initial step was identifying and also learning more about the marketing people across a company. Locating individuals and just what they do aids you both figure out that the team is and also exactly what the pieces that exist already actually are. There may be voids in the Integrated Advertising and marketing chain you will certainly have to fill.
Next, put together a proposal. Just like any strategy, you should clearly state what you are proposing, why it is very important, what obstacles or problems are intrinsic now with the group siloed, who is involved, and also just what you expect completion cause be. This plan should be accepted by whoever possesses the general organizational structure, which depending on the size of your division, company system or company, can be the VP of Advertising, the CMO, the Elderly VP for your division or the CEO.
Make sure that as you are mingling this proposal, you do not capture any of the influenced members off guard. Speak to them, get their input as well as concepts, ask what their objectives are, etc. Make them a component of the process as well as plan.
Also, be certain to get HR included early while doing so. By connecting proactively with Human Resources and also having a champ from Human Resources on your side, the business structure revamp will certainly go a lot more smoothly.
Remember that the Integrated Advertising and marketing group does not always have to literally be a single team. I've taken care of numerous Integrated Marketing plans as well as teams where the participants did not all record to me. You could produce as well as execute very successful advertising strategies and campaigns with a virtual team that might report right into numerous locations. What connections you together is the technique, the purposes, the metrics as well as the incorporated master plan and schedule everybody aligns to.
How Do You Get Executive Buy-in or Drive Integrated Advertising and marketing Up?
Some of this inquiry I responded to above if you are the person taking care of the process. I obtained many questions like this that were plainly from people not in control, who have one piece, or possibly are the only marketing professional in an organization.
Regardless of your situation, getting executive buy-in takes supplying the executive the proposition, strategy or language he/she ases if to consume. I have always found having a sound plan that I can provide to an executive or an exec group is an excellent location to start.
Do your homework! What is essential to the business or to the exec that you can leverage? Is it earnings? Is it affordable threats? Is it spin? By understanding the hot factors for the executive, you could customize your strategy and conversation accordingly.
Show the data! Do you have any kind of information to demonstrate how some kind of incorporated marketing worked before. Did you do a project that combined Public Relations, need gen, social media and also occasions that resulted in the highest possible lead discussion to date. Possibly it's not that dramatic, however literally any instance you could give that reveals a glimpse of the future incorporated bliss will help. If you don't have your personal instances or data, locate some outdoors. You can locate practically anything on the internet nowadays, and also I make sure you will certainly find some example despite exactly how simple you could create on.
Reach out and collaborate informally! If you don't have the framework or plan in location, after that begin constructing the connections yourself. You do not need executive approval to go conversation with as well as find out exactly how to work a lot more closely with various other marketers in your organization. That's just wise. I have never ever seen anybody state no to meeting for a coffee or lunch or short chat, particularly if you present your request as wishing to see how you could assist them to increase their reach or advertising and marketing effect with what you're doing.
Lead a project! Volunteer to your exec or advertising and marketing leader to lead a project, where you could construct an incorporated plan. Maybe an item launch or something seemingly small like a neighborhood networking event or a new video or item of security. Regardless of how huge or tiny, you might take that job as well as show it's impact in an incorporated advertising and marketing way.
Take a video as an example. Before producing it, connect to your marketing 'teammates' and discover out just how they could utilize video clip footage. You might discover they need 15 second teasers for social media or 1 min video clip for lead gen on the site or perhaps a 5 min video clip for occasions. By gathering this data ahead of time, you could make sure your project integrates in the flexibility to meet numerous requirements. Then, share that video material with all the groups, ideally placing it in the style they need for their network. Then report up the results and impact of your one 'little' job. While you go to it, if proper, showcase the exec in the video, also if just for a short piece. Including the exec at the same time as well as the end product will assist your case (particularly if the officer has a huge vanity).
How Do You Eliminate Cynicism or Siloed Workers?
The best means to get rid of resentment or unwilling marketing professionals across your company is by listening to them, assisting them and also offering them something at risk. I have experienced cynicism at every company where I have actually done this. Why are they negative? Probably they have actually been moved around a million times. Possibly they have shed the possibility at a promo due to the fact that of changing supervisors before. Possibly they do not wish to remain in advertising as well as like resting in engineering or sales or client assistance. There are a million factors. You have to sell them as well as include them.
Before you attempt to transform the globe, do a project where you include people throughout the Integrated Marketing mix to participate. Have shared goals and metrics for the task. Make certain you understand exactly what they should help them be successful.
So usually, we are so concentrated on our dream we overlook discovering what others have to succeed. Many times, online marketers really feel like they don't have a voice in the company. If you could produce a project where individuals really feel listened to, valued and also rewarded, you will certainly be revealing them the value of working with you.
The very same opts for siloed workers, who have actually developed a pattern of functioning alone and shutting everyone out. Provide them something at risk or at risk.
For instance, let's claim they are a technical content author in cost of the individual guide. As part of the product launch, you ask them if they would agree to take advantage of the work on the individual overview as well as develop several blog site articles concerning vital individual scenarios. And also possibly also create a much shorter 'the best ways to' document you could make use of in marketing. Perhaps you also have them do a couple podcasts regarding how you can use the item. Most technological writers are terrific authors, as well as long for the chance to reveal their creating chops in other ways.
Importantly as well as ALWAYS make a point of saying thanks to the individual for their involvement in the project, and send an email to their direct manager and also maybe even their executive thanking them for enabling this person to be involved as well as allowing them recognize what a wonderful job he or she did. Talk regarding the cooperation as well as the results of this integrated project.
What's Next?
For you, exactly what's next is checking out my tips over! For me, it's functioning on addressing your various other questions, such as how to prioritize the many different incorporated advertising and marketing networks. And while I do that, please leave talk about other concepts you have for people who asked these questions!

Autumn typically carries along with it darker clothing and also wet days, so this is very important to keep your shoulders flake-free. Thus today I am actually heading to talk about items or simple tricks from the field that can easily help enhance the appearance from decreasing hair, and also in some cases provide the impression from additional hair (this is actually certainly not witchery) so satisfy bear with me. I have not viewed that sort of exception in my lifestyle, and I make offers for a living (licensing, angel assets, syndication, posting, etc.). So while I have not viewed an exception to that rule, I have actually met lots of individuals which really did not know the regulation. Since I feel that no male should have high degrees from a bodily hormone that is actually known for activating breast milk production and triggering reduced T alongside lessened sexual drive in their body. If I care good enough to desire to truly interact as well as know the theory behind guys's style, or even learn about its abundant history as said to through one arbitrary individual, I would go as well as purchase a book concerning that. have a peek at these guys could try your own self though with products like Sugar-It Original Egyptian Hand Sweets or even M4MEN Moom Pour Homme Hair Remover. Having actually fulfilled a few of the Shinola staff, and also found their items close up at the Pop fly Bug back in Nov, I was actually satisfied to hear they've recently released t heir UK webstore, in addition to opening a main retail room in London. Commonly, a button to more natural and/or natural products will certainly aid those that have vulnerable skin or lean to inflammation. I reach see with my major feline, Daisy, whenever I would like to. Oh, and also I'm a fully-licensed napper. So, if you're trying to find a lived-in, grimy, beachy, unclean appeal, this is the perfect item for you. Baxter from California Facial Scrub (₤ 17.00) - probably certainly not the 1st item you may consider when looking at facial hair servicing but adding a scrub right into your schedule are going to help make certain a deep-seated clean of fragments below your beard. This lasting, moisturiser (leaves your skin layer healthy and balanced as well as tanned) as well as undetected lotion is our favorite facial tanning product without a doubt! As well as with plenty of musky/woody crucial oils like cedarwood and sandalwood, Schneidman explains that this frequently disregarded item also functions as an all-natural cologne. There are usually pair of major reasons for a flaky, itchy scalp: dandruff, or even a mild response to a product you are utilizing. Numerous are manufactured in the exact same factory as the trademark name item and simply given a various tag. The good news is, we knew this tip was actually mosting likely to achieve success rather at an early stage. Having actually established our direct the leading independent men's outlets throughout the country, our team were just a week's worth of purchases hires, as well as our team would certainly landed our item in over 80% from our intended establishments. The wish list has you one step further off having your preferred items on paper to having them online. WELL WE 'RE SELLING THIS ITEM THAT WILL GET YOU RIGHT AWAY IF YOU BUY OUR THINGS. Having said that, steering clear of meat product items off pets elevated with man-made hormones is an excellent location to start. Laundry pubs have actually fallen out of support yet they're excellent little items and also I'm thus happy to possess had the possibility to discuss them to you. Exam items for skin layer reactions by 1st applying a percentage on an undetectable area like your inner hand. Take note as well as do your investigation to choose whether an item is actually truly required for the wellness from your skin or if that's likely dangerous. Fit to smart-casual separates as well as customizing, this finish is better obtained by towel-drying your hair about in to the location you are actually hoping to wear that. Then, use a wet look styling item like United States Staff Superglue, Korres Gel, American Team Medium/Strong Keep Gel or Fudge Hair Gum to the hair as well as leave it to place naturally. Giving fulfilling jobs as well as transferable skills is actually a huge component of their company design, and something I wish I would certainly be revealed to a lot more at an earlier age. The diary insert is exchangeable, thus as soon as you've undergone one cycle from the virtues, you can easily begin afresh as well as proceed your adventure in the direction of private distinction.. Not a problem along with quality of life under 16/8 - this felt excellent - possibly a little crazy. While the above are actually the trace elements called for to make the thyroid hormonal agents as well as transfer them to their active cells aim ats, other micronutrients including vitamin Copper, e, and also k2 are important to prevent oxidative damages as well as lipid peroxidation from PUFAs, which would certainly typically not directly subdue the development and transport from the thyroid hormones.

How not to look like a college freshman
“You’re a freshman, right?” You’re going to hear it a lot if you’re new to college. But you can avoid it. See, I don’t like stereotypes, but people generally can recognize freshmen at a glance. Freshmen just dress a certain way, period. But by listening to some sage advice, you might actually pass for not-so-green...until you open your mouth, of course, but that’s for a different article. Of course, like everything else you’re about to cram in your head for the next four years, you probably won’t listen. No, you’ll probably get called out for being an ignorant freshman a bunch of times. Then, you’ll run into this article again, look at yourself in the mirror, and say, “Damn, Mr. Internet guy was right.” But for the ten percent who will listen, here you go: 1. Chuck that lanyard out the fuckin window Warning: when you arrive, you will be given a lanyard with a dorm key attached. You will get it and think, “Hey, this is cool—it’s got my college name on it and everything.” You will want to feel proud. Resist this desire. The next time you find yourself near a trashcan, drop your lanyard into it. Do not hesitate, or risk looking greener then that kid who still wears his high school letterman jacket. 2. Don’t give on-campus bookstores your money. The blonde is a lie. (You’ll understand this statement soon.) There’s no other way to say this: the bookstores on campus are price-gouging criminals and the only people who don’t know this for a goddamn fact are the newest of the new. The people in these places do not give a fuck about you. They know you’re new. They want to exploit it. So they offer to pick out all your books based on your schedule, and shit the cute girl might even take you on a little tour and show you where all your books are. So nice, so convenient. You even will thank them by the end of it. They are fucking you, and you will thank them. The smiling blonde? She is lying to you. Listen—I get it: you have a penis and this chick is being flirty and you’re new and it’s convenient, so you buy the books. You’re an idiot, but I understand. So if you do end up buying the books from them, at least absolutely do not sell it back to them. They’ll buy your books back? Maybe, and if so only at a small fraction of what you paid. Of course, you’re a drunk asshole freshman who needs money like most third-world people need water, so you’ll take whatever pittance they throw your way. And since you bought the books months ago, you will almost feel like you are getting free money. You aren’t. You just—aren’t. You’re getting fucked. If you’re actually ambitious enough to sell your books after school’s out, check out Chegg Buyback. They are one of the only places I’ve found that actually buy textbooks back at a good price. There are no blondes winking or giving you sultry looks, but they make it simple as shit to do and at times I found myself actually surprised at how much they offered. But if you want to go full retard in the first place, don’t buy the books from the goddamn bookstore. Either go through one of those places that lets you use the books you need and then give them back. Again, Chegg offers this in textbook rental and I’m sure some others do as well but Chegg was the main go-to for my dorm. You can do it hungover in your room and you can buy the books used or new, or you can rent them. If you had to buy a book new or used they will most likely buy it back at the end of the year with their buy back program. Since Chegg isnt just selling books at one college, they actually can buy a lot more back to resell. They remind you before they are due, and you just drop them off with the postage they paid for and that’s it. But why were we buying textbooks to begin with again? I have never met anyone with a really badass textbook collection. Textbooks aren’t a status symbol like a new car. Just rent it, suck the knowledge out of it for long enough to pass your finals, then get rid of it. Just don’t go to the campus bookstore. The blonde does not like you. She never did. The blonde is a lie. 3. Don’t post things like “I love college” online It’s kind of crazy how quickly people realize they are living the best years of your life. And I mean, it makes sense: you can now party without having to tell your parents you’re sleeping over at your responsible friend’s house. You no longer have to ask your co-worker’s friend’s brother to buy you alcohol. Drugs and alcohol will be the easiest they ever have been to get your hands on—many times absolutely free. You can now relate to those college drinking songs. But don’t post “I love college” to your Facebook or twitter. I mean, we get it. But everyone loves college. That’s like saying “I love having sex.” Everyone does, and the only people who announce it are first-timers. 4. Don’t drink Skol or Kamchatka. This is a big one. It’s a hard one too. Drinking Skol or Kamchatka is almost a freshman requirement. You will soon realize that you can get half gallons of shitty bottom-shelf vodka for $10. You most likely will be drinking a lot, and you will probably be broke, so it will look like a good idea. But just spend the extra couple dollars to get something better. These bottles of bum piss will leave you feeling extra hungover the next day. If you are at a party with people other then freshman, as soon as you bring the plastic bottle of skol out, people will gag. You’ll be embarrased as the people you thought were nice refuse to even make eye contact with you because they subjected themselves to the same liquid punishment when they were a freshman and now the sight of it makes them want to throw up. Of course, you can always put it in a water bottle like you did in high school. But that is almost worse—then people will know you are underage. No one over 21, in the history of this earth, has ever thought, “Huh, I wonder if maybe this alcohol will taste better in a water bottle?” 5. Get help when you need it. I honestly sucked at this one. Being at college you sometimes forget what you are really there to do: Get that degree. After months of “loving college” and drinking your skol vodka I said not to drink, you will soon realize you are failing every class. To make it tougher, most classes don’t take attendance which makes going to class that much harder. Awesome, right? Wrong. Not awesome. Every morning you wake up—possibly for the first time in your life—without the threat of bad things happening if you don’t go to class. “Nah, I’ll just go to class.” Sure, buddy. All of this sets up the perfect storm for an unfuckingbelievable amount of stress for your average college virgin. A ton of work, almost nil understanding, and everything on the line. Your stoner friend can’t help you, and the professor who hasn’t seen your face in months won’t want to help you, either. You will then remember seeing stuff about college tutors on campus. But you’re lazy and don’t want to go (remember, that’s the whole reason you’re in this mess). Listen, I know: college tutors don’t care. They’re usually just students like you. Probably don’t even get paid—most are doing it for some dumb college credit and so just want your dumbass out the door. They’re probably as hungover as you. You have to make an appointment. You have to wear clothes. Ugh, right? Then, hooray, awkward chat with a stranger about a subject you’re failing! Thankfully for your lazy ass, you live in the magical world of the future where anything can be done online. There are a lot of online video-chat tutors. Again, I’d suggest to check out Chegg for their online tutoring. It seemed to be of a way higher quality than the dumbasses I ran into on campus, and –this is huge for me—you don’t even have to do video chat: you can be straight-up lazy, anti-social, and totally naked, and do a tutoring session through text chat. Best part I found about that is then everything is easily searchable—no panicking through scribbled notes, and no “walk of shame” out of the tutor’s office. 6. Don’t go home every weekend. I never really got this one. When I was a freshman I knew people that went back home all the time. You’ll probably find yourself moving back in with your parents after you graduate anyway I understand you will feel homesick. It is normal to want go back home. College is a big change, and at times you will feel lost or anxious. Going home is comfortable and familiar, but save that for the holidays. Because here’s some real talk that you’ll realize after the first time you go home: I promise you, you will be bored after 2 hours, and have to hear about all the stuff you missed from your smart friends who didnt go home.. College is the best years of your life. Everyone says it. It’s true. Don’t run away when things get tough. Embrace it all. All those feelings will be cherished one day. You’ll be looking back after you graduate and wishing you could just have one extra day in that college bubble, free from real problems and real life. So fuck home for now—go spark up a conversation with Cute Blonde Girl from the campus bookstore when she gets off shift at eight and see what happens. Maybe she really did like you after all.

As a professional blogger and owner of a Blog Network, I usually like to live modern-day and read new services in this subject matter. Most of what I study is the same information just repackages, I am happy to mention that this e book is quite the opposite. It is filled with fresh content material and I truly learned an outstanding deal.
This is a technical manual this is centered on the WordPress platform for blogging. This is the platform that I use as well as most of the people of other professional bloggers. This aid may be very complete and jam packed with the entirety you want to realize to take your blog to the following stage. I really favored the section on plug-ins because it touches on the fundamentals and then certainly dives into hundreds of different ones to be had, a lot of which I even have in no way heard of.
