Stretch Those Gift Certificates

If you received gift certificates for the holidays, you may be excited to do some online shopping with them. That’s a smart move since you will probably be able to find great deals involving free shipping and lack of sales tax.

Make those gift certificates go even farther by using online coupon codes.

One great thing about coupon codes is that you can find discounts to use at well-known online stores at which you would be shopping anyway. For example, you can get some Overstock.com coupon deals that are very impressive giving you anything from percentages off your total to dollar amounts deducted if you spend a certain amount., , , ,

Last Minute Christmas Recipes

I bought a book last year called “Favorite Brand Name Old Fashioned Holiday Recipes.” I took it the other day to decide what dessert to make for Christmas.

The pictures alone are amazing and make me want to cook one (at least) of everything. See for youself at their website FBNR.com. I don’t see the book I have on the side where they show what books are available at supermarkets now. Maybe they change the selection every year.

There are recipes for free on the site so if you haven’t decided yet what to make for your holiday celebration, you can get some suggestions and inspiration there.

Would you take your children to a casino?

Las Vegas sure did a goob job the last few years making itself over as a family destination. (Apparently, what is now happening and staying in Vegas is overstuffed diaper bags and strollers.) When I visited Las Vegas a few years ago, I was amazed by the amount of parents with small children who were walking around on the streets and in the shopping and attraction areas of the casinos. (No one under 21 is admitted into the gambling areas.)

Still, are Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or the Connecticut casinos really the place for kids?

Audio Resume

I first heard of video resumes about ten years ago. They were not Internet videos, but actually video (as in VHS). Jobseekers had to go to the company’s office and be taped with a video camera.

I had not heard of audio resumes until today, though. It seems like I missed out on part of the resume evolutionary process! With these audio resumes, jobseekers simply call into a toll free number and answer a series of questions. An audio file is created and the job seeker gets the URL where the file is posted. He or she can then direct potential employers to that web address at which the hiring person hears the file.

Internet Marketing Monitor Review

Internet Marketing Monitor asked reviewers to provide reviews of the site that are “unbiased, honest opinions.” Someone Else’s Kids Readers know that I love to give my opinion so there will be no problem complying with those terms. My first impression of the site was that it was rather plain, especially for a marketing site. There are no graphics except for the corporate logos that accompany the stories. This is not necessarily a bad thing since I can now spot the typical marketing site a mile away because of the almost uniform look among them. Despite its plain-Jane look, at least the impression it gives off is that there might be some substantial (if not exciting) material to be found there.

I really like how there are four ways to access information.

First, there is a search box. That is essential because some visitors may have arrived there from a search engine because of something formerly indexed on the front page which is now gone. The search box allows those users to get what they want quickly.

The middle of the page contains the latest articles (and by the looks of it, several a day) which is good for repeat visitors looking for the latest industry information.

The top of the page has some real high-level general choices such as an Internet marketing glossary, which is a great tool for beginners.

Finally, the left hand side contains about 25 categories such as the usual suspects ) Google, Yahoo, etc.) as well as more non-company specific categories such as traffic and emerging media.

I only read a few articles as samples. Those I read were well-written, error free, and grammatically correct – three aspects most websites these days do not have.

Overall, I am glad that I found the site as I think it will help me with my online marketing research. I won’t mind if they make it just a tad more spiffy looking to enhance my usage of it!, ,
