Shari McCollough Raises Silkie Chickens

One of my favorite shows came on television this morning and I was very much enjoying learning about the bark bar and tips on how to get pets off of furniture but I guess the one that caught my attention the most was the feature about a chicken called a "silkie" I had not heard of such a bird before watching this episode.

Why You Are Unable to Get the Results You Want

Those who are able to get massive results online no matter which biz opp they join are usually part of a traffic co-op and it is because of these lead generation clubs that they are able to get their message in front of lots of people at once.

Think of all the leaders in the industry that have large email lists and those lists are money in the bank with the right offer. Newbies usually are not in the right circles and they don't have knowledge of these traffic co-ops so they can't get enough visitors to their sales pages.

Without traffic it will be hard to make sales, and this goes for any company you join or product you promote. You want to be able to tap into a never ending source of leads and biz opp seekers who are willing to buy what your selling.

Having a list of buyers is the secret sauce for anyone wanting to make money from affiliate marketing, internet marketing or network marketing.

The money you spend to join most of these biz opps would be better served and used  setting up the tools and software to build your business online.

You will need an autoresponder, lead capture pages, email list, sales funnel and a high converting product that sells.

Then you will have the formula for success.

Are You Getting All the Facts?

Many people are interested in staying at home and working online. Companies promise easy riches by just joining the various types of programs available. Some are money making systems and some of them are referral marketing or team building affiliate companies.

Which ever one you choose to join is going to depend on how much time you have to get the results you want. Most people who are on the internet work full-time at a 9 to 5 job so it may be hard to do much marketing on the web to recruit new members or gain leads.

Those who are posting that they have made a sale or that you should join a new comp plan may only show you the positive side of earning residual income. It will look easy and depending on how long the person has been marketing online they may have a list of people who are interested in a business opportunity, they may have teams that they have built in other online businesses, as well as tons of links out on the web which makes the process of attracting leads much easier.

Many have said that they are seeing success with creating Youtube videos, and that is where they are getting most of their organic traffic from Google, Yahoo and Bing. This kind of search engine traffic is the holy grail of all prospects that marketers want to use and capture on their lists. The main reason is because the people are actively seeking them out without much need for convincing.

Those who say they are earning $20,000 and $30,000 dollars a month from various affiliate companies are usually not giving you all the facts. For instance are they sharing with you where or how they are getting leads? or are they upfront with how much money you will need to invest in tools, software and buying traffic? most of the times this is not even discussed at all, the focus is just on telling you to blindly join the company or only showing you the results of all the sales and money they are making.

In reality it is important to know that it will take some work on your part to get your message out to the masses. Many are using social media profiles to post on the web because Google is using social proof to determine if content will be ranked or not.

So you can expect a learning curve when it comes to finding the right offer as well as knowing how to capture and convert visitors into repeat followers who want to buy from you. To learn all this you can join one of the best business tools online known as IC Tool Suite.

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actress, author, businesswoman, and humanitarian, known primarily for her work in country music. After achieving success as a songwriter for others, Parton made her album debut in 1967 with Hello, I'm Dolly. With steady success during the remainder of the 1960s (both as a solo artist and with a series of duet albums with Porter Wagoner), her sales and chart peak came during the 1970s and continued into the 1980s. Parton's albums in the 1990s did not sell as well, but she achieved commercial success again in the new millennium and has released albums on various independent labels since 2000, including her own label, Dolly Records In 1999, Parton was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. She has composed over 3,000 songs, including "I Will Always Love You" (a two-time U.S. country chart-topper, as well as an international pop hit for Whitney Houston), "Jolene", "Coat of Many Colors", and "9 to 5". She is also one of the few to have received at least one nomination from the Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, Tony Awards, and Emmy Awards. As an actress, she has starred in films such as 9 to 5 (1980) and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), for which she earned Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress, as well as Rhinestone (1984), Steel Magnolias (1989), Straight Talk (1992) and Joyful Noise (2012). 

 The Dollywood Company

Parton invested much of her earnings into business ventures in her native East Tennessee, notably Pigeon Forge. She is a co-owner of The Dollywood Company, which operates the theme park Dollywood (a former Silver Dollar City), a dinner theater, Dolly Parton's Stampede, the waterpark Dollywood's Splash Country, and the Dream More Resort and Spa, all in Pigeon Forge. Dollywood is the 24th-most-popular theme park in the United States, with 3 million visitors per year. The Dolly Parton's Stampede business has venues in Branson, Missouri, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. A former location in Orlando, Florida, closed in January 2008 after the land and building were sold to a developer. Starting in June 2011, the Myrtle Beach location became Pirates Voyage Fun, Feast and Adventure; Parton appeared for the opening, and the South Carolina General Assembly declared June 3, 2011, as Dolly Parton Day.

 On January 19, 2012, Parton's 66th birthday, Gaylord Opryland and Dollywood announced plans to open a $50 million water and snow park, a family-friendly destination in Nashville that is open all year.On September 29, 2012, Parton officially withdrew her support for the Nashville park due to the restructuring of Gaylord Entertainment Company after its merger with Marriott International. On June 12, 2015, it was announced that the Dollywood Company had purchased the Lumberjack Feud Dinner Show in Pigeon Forge. The show, which opened in June 2011, was owned and operated by Rob Scheer until the close of the 2015 season. The new, renovated show by the Dollywood Company opened in 2016

Atlanta Trees and Beltline

Planting trees to protect and expand Atlanta’s tree canopy. The Atlanta BeltLine is a former railway corridor around the core of Atlanta, Georgia, under development in stages as a multi-use trail. Atlanta was originally founded as the terminus of a major state-sponsored railroad.


Tree-planting is the process of transplanting tree seedlings, generally for forestry, land reclamation, or landscaping purpose. It differs from the transplantation of larger trees in arboriculture, and from the lower cost but slower and less reliable distribution of tree seeds.
Planting trees to protect and expand Atlanta’s tree canopy is a fundamental part of Trees Atlanta’s mission. To maximize community impact, Trees Atlanta concentrates its planting efforts in areas where they are needed most—around schools and in parks, neighborhoods, and business districts. To date, Trees Atlanta has planted more than 133,000 trees throughout the metro area.

 Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia. With an estimated 2018 population of 498,044, it is also the 37th most-populous city in the United States. The city serves as the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, home to 5.9 million people and the ninth largest metropolitan area in the nation. Atlanta is the seat of Fulton County, the most populous county in Georgia. Portions of the city extend eastward into neighboring DeKalb County.

 Atlanta was originally founded as the terminus of a major state-sponsored railroad. With rapid expansion, however, it soon became the convergence point among multiple railroads, spurring its rapid growth. The city's name derives from that of the Western and Atlantic Railroad's local depot, signifying the town's growing reputation as a transportation, Centennial Olympic Park, built for the 1996 Olympics, encompasses the massive Georgia Aquarium

 Founded in 1985, Trees Atlanta works tirelessly to address Atlanta's tree loss, protect its forests, and create new green space. 

 The Atlanta BeltLine is a former railway corridor around the core of Atlanta, Georgia, under development in stages as a multi-use trail. Some portions are already complete, while others are still in a rough state but hikeable.
