Magic Tweet launch update

My goal over the last three day’s was to have my new software ready for download. Unfortunately this task is taking much longer than expected. The software will allow one to post tweets from your desktop in real time or at scheduled intervals that you decide. There are many things to think about when setting this up, one of which, is what to name it.
After careful thought and suggestions from my readers I have decided to call it "Magic Tweet".
So when will the launch be? I’m not sure yet, since I don’t want to get your hopes up until I know for sure, all I can say is, I will keep you posted! I didn’t think it would take this long to get it ready and since I’ve already wet your appetites I don’t want to give another launch date until I know for sure when it’s going to happen.

I will also post some instructions to show people how to use twitter to post to other services such as facebook or myspace. I think this will be helpful for those who don’t use or like twitter. There are many other applications out there one can use to post to these services but few allow you to schedule your posts. Scheduling automatic posts to go out is a cool feature that this software will provide making it very cool to have.
If your not a twitter user but you would like to schedule updates to your facebook page (or other services) then this software will be for you. Twitter does allow you to set it to private, this way you can use the service as a tool to post to your other services. This is helpful if you just want to use it to post to facebook.
Scheduling posts has many creative uses, one of which is birthday reminders or events. If you have an event such as a party and want to remind your friends via facebook with regular updates but may not have the time to do so, you can use this to do it for you automatically.

Originally my launch date was today, however, it’s going to take another week, minimum. I wish I could have it ready sooner, all I can say is, it’s turning out to be much more complicated than I expected.
I appreciate everyone’s patience in waiting, I can tell you, it’s going to be worth the wait. This will be a very small download, user friendly and basically very simple. I think it’s better to make it easy for everyone to use.

It amazes me how far I have come in just a short time this year. When I started this blog project on Jan 1st this year, I had no idea I would be offering some free software in just a few short months, or that I could even do it. Thanks to the affiliate programs I am associated with I can even offer this. It just goes to show you what you can accomplish if you just stick with it and keep learning.

I have been working day and night on this for the past several weeks, although this week, I did take a short much needed break. I enjoy blogging and hope to offer better more rich content in the future, but for now, I’m writing about what I learn each day.
Todays post is small in comparison to my last few but I thought it necessary to at least give you an update on my progress.
Thanks again for reading, more to come soon.

Magic Mike Coffees Twitter Tool

I am excite to announce my new software, I’m calling it, Magic Mike Coffees Twitter Tool.
Internet marketing can be quite the complicated thing, especially if you don’t know what your doing. I am by no means an expert but I have learned some cool things lately, one of which is the Software side of things!
Since I am a twitter fan and use it often a tool like this comes in handy to say the least. I do many things online, so to have a tool that works right from my desktop is cool because it saves me having to open to many browser windows.
What is it you ask? It’s a small piece of software that downloads right to your desktop and posts to twitter for you. The really neat thing about it is the ability to schedule your tweets to go out automatically at set intervals that you decide. This is very helpful, especially for anyone who markets anything online because it gives you the ability to stay connected to your followers even when your not there.
Automation is one of my favorite things about online marketing. Think about it, the ability to set it and forget it so your online business makes you money even while your sleeping is an amazing thing to me! Imagine having someone go to work for you but you still get paid. It’s like having a twin brother that goes to the office for you, does all the work and then hands you the paycheck for all the work he did while you were sleeping!
Twitter is an amazing thing to me and lot’s of fun. My followers are always sending out interesting tweets that keep me up to date on the latest happenings online. I do my best to send interesting tweets myself, it’s a balancing act to say the least.
One thing I really like is how my twitter posts are also posted on my facebook page. This is cool because I only have to send out one post and it goes to everyone, otherwise I would have to many places to update and it would take forever.
This is another cool thing about my twitter software, if you want to use it to post on facebook then simply connect the two accounts, now all you have to do is post to twitter and it will show up on your facebook page.
Even if your not a fan of twitter, you can still use it to post to your facebook page and if that’s all you use if for that’s ok. This way you can use my Free twitter tool to post to your facebook page right from your desktop. The cool part about doing it this way is the ability to schedule the posts to go out when you want them to.
This is useful even if your not an online marketer because you can use it as a reminder.
You can schedule birthday posts to go out automatically to all of your friends and family, this way you will never forget and they will always have a nice message from you on their favorite day.
You can also use it to remind friends and family of upcoming events, like a dinner party or birthday bash. Lets say your planning a party for the end of the week, you could set up some automatic posts to go out to remind everyone once a day or every other day or maybe just the day of. You could even do a count down kind of thing so people know the party is still scheduled to happen and they know how much time is left before they need to be there.
There are any number of ways to use the software and I am giving it away for free!
YES, your heard me right, I’m giving away this cool desktop twitter tool to all my blog readers for free!
All you have to do is join my Private Blog Readers Email List to get your free copy. That’s it, once you sign up for my email I will send the software to you right away, yours to keep for as long as you like, no questions asked.
Why an email list? It’s my way of staying in contact with my readers. I appreciate anyone taking the time to come by and read my postings and this is my way of saying thank you. Plus, I will send special offers to my readers that I won’t send to anyone else, for instance, coffee coupons for example, or anything cool I find online that I think you might be interested in.
Part of my goal with this blog has always been to find ways to help anyone online who wants to learn about marketing or even blogging. I am learning internet marketing the hard way and using all the free tools I can find to do so. Having the ability to communicate with my readers and share free information with them just makes sense.
I am still working on the software, hopefully it will be ready soon and I can get it out to you right away. Since I am still learning this it’s taking me longer than I thought to get it all set up. Like I said before, this will be a small download, easy to use and safe, it has to be because my name is on it and I won’t stand for any funny business, I want to give people things of value that they can use and get a benefit out of. My goal is someday to design my own products and when I do eventually sell something I want people to know that it’s worth the money.
So for now, I’ll leave you with the thought that twitter may work for you even if you just use it to post to another service. Either way, my free software will benefit you and hopefully be a useful addition to your arsenal of cool tools to have around for fun online.
My goal is to have this software ready by Friday this week. I’ll let you know. If your interested please leave me a comment here and let me know, I’m curious how many people would like something like this?
That’s all for now...once again, this is Magic Mike Coffee saying....Live your dreams!Blogger Labels:

I dream of the Beach!

I dream of the beach, where the sand is soft, the sun is warm, and the sound of the waves crashing the shore fills the air. A cool salty breeze brushes my cheeks while the soft warm water carries me away. The best part is at night with the open sky showing all the stars gleaming away. Settling next to a warm campfire with friends and good music, roasting some marsh-mellows and thinking, it doesn’t get any better than this!

There are many beautiful beaches in the world and some of the best are in Costa Rica where I grew up. I plan to go back there soon on vacation, to witness the beauty I’ve been missing for so many years. I can’t wait to go back, it’s all I think about these day’s, but the real question is, can I do it for good? That’s the plan, to make this online thing work, to get another house and then parlay those investments into a real income.

Most people wonder why nothing happens in their life accept the same old thing. They wonder how to get ahead, where to go and tools or knowledge to use. I felt the same way for a very long time until I realized in order to get different results I have to do something different. It wasn’t just a matter of taking Action, it’s also about what kind of Action to take?

Action is my new favorite word this year which will move me in a forward direction. The problem is knowing which direction your going in. Knowing how to get to your goal is half the battle. We seem to be paralyzed by what we don’t know or understand, afraid to take the next step without knowing how it’s going to work out. That fear is what holds us back, the fear of the unknown. Maybe you never had this problem but for me it’s been a constant battle.

I can proudly say that I am winning the battle and moving forward even though I don’t always understand what’s happening at the time. I know that moving in some direction as opposed to no direction is sometimes better because at least that can be redirected. It’s when we don’t move at all that we stagnate and wither away. It’s when we think we have a good idea but we don’t act on it for the lack of knowing how to even start.

I am here to say don’t let that stop you anymore. It’s time to get moving, even if we don’t have all the answers, some direction is better than none.

What I have learned in the past few years is that moving is always better. I know we have to be smart about it, we can’t just go in any direction, but my point is simply this; sometimes the answer doesn’t come until you start to move. Once you start moving you can then quickly adjust as needed.

That’s why I am writing this blog, simply to start moving and keep going until I find my way. I’m also doing my best to plan it out, taking it one step at a time. This blog represents to me the act of moving in the direction I want to go even if I’m not sure what that is yet. I know I want to make money online, so I’m doing it by setting up some offers to go along with my writings. The hope is to generate good content that people will like and while they are here, they may take a minute to do something else that gets them paid.

It seemed like a good place to start, writing my thoughts, getting them on paper and at the same time learning how to offer things that people may like and get some help from. This does two things for me, it gives me the opportunity to make a commission on a sale, but most of all, it’s proof in my mind that I can do it if I will only try.

Thanks for your time in reading this, and now I’m going to recommend that you do the same, try something different, get some results and then go from there. Take a look, read about me giving it a try and then go do it yourself.

Tactically Fun!

Take a deep drag of your favorite cigarette folks because with this one your going to need it. At least I did anyway, it was the only way I could get through the mess. This online stuff can be quite complicated sometimes, even makes me want to give up, but that I will not do.

I have some exciting, confusing, enlightening and quite frankly, scary things to share with you today. As you know, the internet is a very big place, lot’s to do and see and not all of it’s good. I’m sure most of us have learned this the hard way but at least we got through it.

Marketing online is sometimes scary when you think of all the different ways you can do it. The many tactics that are currently used along with the ones to come are quite mind boggling. There is surveys, emails, blogs, game’s, social networking, and the list goes on. Knowing which one to use and how can sometimes be hard to figure out, but there is one good thing about it all, at least it’s free. Well, I should say, most of it anyway. There is any number of tricks being used to get your money online, one of them being the good old fashioned steal right from your bank with a nifty little program, I think we call them Viruses.

Although I am still fairly new to all of this I am beginning to understand how it all works. The name of the game is how to get people to react in the fashion you desire. What makes people click? I don’t know! I don’t think anyone does, but that doesn’t stop them from trying everything they can think of to get us to do it. My favorite little "tactic" if you will, is the email opt-in. I have been known to receive as many as 30 emails or more in one day just from signing up on a free list. That doesn’t bother me so much, they are easily filtered out if need be but what does concern me is how vast the amount of information is.

we are all on information overload thus making the job of the marketer even harder, especially online when an easy click is but seconds away. This has all led me to wonder how in the world I am ever going to make it work. I feel like I am competing against so many others that there is seemingly no way to get people to listen. You add on the fact that most of us are more interested in something bad that’s happened instead trying to find some good that it’s almost impossible to get any response unless I’m a rapper sporting the latest single.

So my question to you is, how much more could you want? I mean really, there is already so much to do online that it’s hard to figure out exactly what people want. Most of us want to make more money and that is why we see so much of that on here, the endless promotions of the next great opportunity are everywhere. The question is, which one do you try and how much will it actually work? Sadly, there is really no way to ever really know.

While these thoughts have slowed me down a bit they surely have not stopped me. I know there is some real value out there and I aim to find it for you and bring it here any way that I can think of to do it. For this reason I have decided to have some fun online with all this marketing stuff and try to think outside the box.

Anyone spending any time at all talking to the gurus will tell you that there are many strategies to use. They know what works and what doesn’t but they are also still bound to those rules. This is something I have decided not to do! All though I don’t want to waste my time trying to re-invent the wheel, I am also not going to be bound by any box!

This internet thing to me is so diverse and creative that I have decided to take it to the next level and just get as creative as I can think to be! For this reason I am going to make some tries at working up some new games or ways for you to find things online that you might not have thought of before. My goal is to try and think of things to do or new ways of bringing you the information you seek in ways that no one else has thought of before.

That’s why I am writing this, is to let you know that although I may use some tactics that look old fashioned, be fore warned that it isn’t so! Try not to judge my book by it’s cover, instead, hold on for a good ride! I am going to do my best to bring you things in new ways and mainly just get as creative as I can think to be and all just for the fun of it!

So with that I leave you today, knowing that in the coming months I am going to be offering some new things that people hopefully have not seen before and I am doing it just be creative and fun and try my best to help you enjoy finding the information you seek in new and inventive ways!

Falling Rain

Waking up to the sound of falling rain outside makes me want to move back to the tropics. There is nothing like the ocean on a sunny afternoon or the sound of the waves rolling in when your working on your noon nap. I don’t know about you but for me, afternoons like theses are the only way to live.

This must be why I am working so hard to make things happen online and in life. My goal is to spend as many afternoons this way as humanly possible. Don’t get me wrong, although I consider myself a city boy and love all that it offers, there is nothing like the sounds of mother nature and a hammock.

It seems I have spent way to much time doing the opposite in the past few years and I aim to change the in the serious near future. If your like most people they think money can’t be made online or in real estate without some special power, I how ever disagree.

I know there is plenty of opportunity out there, plenty of money to be made and I won’t quit until I get my fair share. So you think I’m greedy huh? No more then the next guy, I just don’t see the point in spending my life in ruin. Meaning, I don’t see the sense in going to work everyday and still not having enough money to pay the light bill at the end of my long drawn out week doing something I hate. Then there is the thought of spending 80% of my time with people I would never associate with if I didn’t have to. For me, it all adds up to a very simple solution to a complicated equation, GO HOME.

I mean, really, let’s get down to the brass tax of it all and finally let the rubber meet the road when it comes what we all really want! Let’s face it, no one like going to work everyday, including me! It’s a necessary evil and even then doesn’t always work out for the best. When you can’t even pay your bills after weeks of work then my question is, what’s it all about?

I know there are some gold nuggets out there just waiting to be found and I aim to scoop them up just as soon as I can. I don’t want you to think I am just money hungry because that wouldn’t be the truth. The truth is, I just don’t want to work all day to simply be broke at the end of the week. That wouldn’t be so bad if I at least had everything paid for when I was done but when you add in the fact that it still wasn’t enough to make ends meat then I tend to say it’s time to do something else. It would be different if it was doing something I loved, then the sacrifice would make sense. Surely I am not the only one that feels this way!

So now the question is, how do we do it? Well it’s simple, we must find another way. Meaning we must put our heads together and get to work finding other means to make that happen. I know what your thinking, if it was that simple then why don’t we all do it? Because we live in fear! Fear of what has already happened, fear of what may happen next.

I choose not to live in fear anymore! I am going to find a way to make my dreams come true if I have to work day and night to do it! I am going to be debt free this year by birthday on June 1st no matter what. I will say that I am off to a much slower start than anticipated, however, I refuse to let the stop me! I know there is some gold in them there mountains and I am going to dig for it every day and list it here. Anything and everything I find I am going to bring your way and we will all work on it together until we find a way to make it happen!
