Tim Houk Real Estate, Baton Rouge

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

As many of you know I recently move across the country from San Diego, Ca to Baton Rouge, LA. I have had the privilege of meeting some great people throughout the city of Baton Rouge. One being Tim Houk, Real Estate Agent for Keller Williams, Red Stick Partners Realty. For those of you who do not know Baton Rouge is french for Red Stick.

I have recently talked Tim into doing a test blog for an upcomming blogging platform I will be speaking and training on. Feel free to drop by and give Tim a hello at his blog Baton Rouge Real Estate. If you are involved with my internet training classes I caution you we are walking some not so perfect lines testing his blog. I do not recomend you try to duplicate it untill testing is done.

UFirst To Breakout or not to Breakout?

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

The last two United First Financial Super Regionals in Las Vegas and Orlando were incredible events. For the first time UFirst has implemented break out rooms. I, Brooke Barnett, was able to do 2 1.5 hour long course at each event on internet marketing. Other speakers were David Montgomery, George Veronis, Ken Melby, Juan Hernandez, Bill Walton, Tom Keener, Steve Smith, Jason Brown, Gregg Stroud, JoLynn Saizan, and Todd Skousen.

My question to all of you that attended is do you like the breakout rooms better or would you like to see UFirst go back to a single room format? Leave your opinion below in a comment.

#4 on Google for United First Financial

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

At the time of this post my United First Financial website is listed #4 in google for the search term United First Financial. This was accomplished with nothing but hard work and it has paid off 10 fold. Learning marketing and especially internet marketing has lead me to be able to live the lifestyle I live and run my business the way I do. If there are two things I wish I would have been taugh when I was young they are this… 1. Sales rule the world. If you are not selling you are supporting a product someone sold. 2. Marking rules sales. If you have enough people interested in your product you will always be successful.

I hope to see many more of the internet marketing students at the top of google soon.

Gas is at a premium

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Due to power outages throughout southern Louisiana gas is near impossible to get. Several gas stations have opened up on generator power. Here is a picture of the line we are currently sitting in. Cellular is our only connection to the Internet and it is intermittent. Thank goodness for the iPhone wordpress app.

GMAIL Blackout – Why you need a domain

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Today GMAIL had a modern day blackout for about 90 minutes. The loss of service is common for free email providers. As a business person, sales associate or entrepreneur it is essential you own your own domain and attach an email account to it. For the small cost of $7.49 you can secure your own domain name at www.mergedomains.com that comes with one free email account. The 12 week internet marketing course over 2000 United First Financial agents are participating in shows you how to do this but most can figure it out on their own. Go do it now so you ar enot caught like all of the GMAIL users.
