Did you know that lots of great internship opportunities are listed on Craigslist? One of the best ways to search for an internship is to use a tool like CraigZoom, where you can search ALL of Craigslist, rather than have to search city by city.
This is particularly handy if you are willing to relocate, or if you can do your internship online. In the case of internet marketing or writing, you can easily do your internship from the comfort of your own home. Internet marketing companies are constantly in the need of good people. It can be a great way for you to learn the business, so that you can eventually start your own internet business.

Looks like Father’s Day is just around the corner. Sunday, June 21st is the day.
I think gifts for men are always tough.
My husband is an avid golfer. I’m thinking about possible buying him a golf GPS unit, although I might consider doing a watch, since his watch just recently stopped working. I guess it’s a decision between ‘fun’ vs. ‘practical and nice’.
You can now get your own username in a Facebook URL, so that your page reads:
http://www.facebook.com/YourName/
The new option became available at midnight last night.
I personally didn’t feel like staying up until midnight and felt certain that no one
would take the name ‘Rita Wilhelm’ by morning. I was wrong.
It’s now Saturday morning, which is just 8 sleeping hours since the Facebook username option
went live. I went in to grab my name first thing this morning. But low and behold…
another Rita Wilhelm got the name Rita Wilhelm before me!
So, I’m now: www.Facebook.com/RitaWilhelm2 .
Lesson: The early bird catches the worm. And in this case, it wasn’t me.
So you’ve decided to start a blog! Congratulations! Now, you’ve got to make a decision as to which blogging platform you want to use. There are many different software options available. One of my personal favorites is Wordpress.
Wordpress is free, and it is offered in two very different ways. One option is the version that Wordpress will host for you at Wordpress.com . The other option is open source software that you install on your own server. Community support for this can be found at Wordpress.org .
If you are a person who just wants a free blog, who is okay with limited design choices, and who would prefer not to do a lot of customization, then Wordpress.com is probably your best option. You don’t have to worry about backups, and you don’t have to worry about security or upgrading your software. Just know that your capabilities are limited. There are however upgrade options available to you for a small fee. To get started, simply go to Wordpress.com, start an account and start blogging.
If on the other hand, you are a person who really wants to have more design choices, and if you want to customize your blog to your desired look, feel and functionality, then Wordpress.org is the way to go.
Wordpress.org offers an entire community to you of developers. These developers create Wordpress plugins that you can easily download and upload to your blog. Plugins (also called Modules or Components) offer additional functionality to your blog that does not come with the standard installation. Here is a link to many of the plugins and themes available to you: http://wordpress.org/extend/ .
Many hosting accounts already have an installed version of Wordpress available. I’ll use the popular service HostGator as an example. They have a cheap hosting package at just $4.95/month. If you get that hosting package, you will already have Wordpress installed. You will just need to activate it. In your control panel, you’ll see an area called Fantastico. From Fantastico, you can simply activate Wordpress.
Here’s a video that shows you how to activate Wordpress on C-Panel using Fantastico:
Once your software is downloaded, you can start using your Wordpress. Here are some great tutorials to guide you through the process:
If you typed in Greg’s List for your search, go to CraigZoom where you can search ALL of Craigslist.
Greg’s List you might ask? Well… did you know that 90,500 people search the phrase ‘Greg’s List’ every month?
I recently purchased Micro Niche Finder, which is a great tool to do keyword research. I still use my other tools as well, but I must say that Micro Niche Finder is just fun!
Here’s an example.
I have a site called CraigZoom , which is a Craigslist search engine. It searches ALL Craigslist, rather than having to search city by city. It’s a handy free way for people to easily search Craigslist by keyword, in the same way you would search Google.
Anyhow, I decided to put ‘Craigslist’ into the search function of Micro Niche Finder to see what came up. You can see that here:
I then scrolled down and saw this little result:
Interesting eh?
Because of Micro Niche Finder, I now have an opportunity to attract the 90,500 people each month that search the term ’Greg’s List’, to search Craiglist via CraigZoom.
I just got an email from Cagora, announcing their new Community Marketing Apprenticeship Program. What really caught my interest in their email, was a bit about something Forrester Research said:
Forrester Research’s prediction that the Cagora Business
Model of Local and Special Interest Community Marketplaces is
going to be ‘The New Era of the Social Web’… and you’re
invited to Capitalize on this.
Now that’s big! Forrester Research is a well respected research firm, so for them to say that, that’s big! ( Find out more about Cagora )
Anyhow… it looks like Cagora is starting a new Marketing Apprenticeship Program.
Here’s how they described it in the email
Cagora is about to move into its ‘Community Building’ Phase and we’re
kicking into that with a Training Course on how you can leverage
Community Marketing and Community Commerce to dominate a niche or opportunities in your local community.
Our Community Blueprint plan is a big part of making this happen
and we’re finishing off the rework of this to turn it into a much
simpler step-by-step guide.
We are launching on June 1st a ‘Community Marketing Apprentice’
program that will guide people through how they can profit from
Community Commerce for years to come, simply by kickstarting a
Community.
If you haven’t caught one of our recent videos, you may have
missed Forrester Research’s prediction that the Cagora Business
Model of Local and Special Interest Community Marketplaces is
going to be ‘The New Era of the Social Web’… and you’re
invited to Capitalize on this.
You can check out all the details, (although we will
be doing a few updates to this page over the next 24 hours)
before we open the gates and give 100 people an opportunity
to be a Community Partner without needing to outlay money
upfront.
I was just checking in on the Forex MegaDroid robot, which launched in March 2009.
According to their website, their Forex trading robot can trade with 95.82% accuracy in
EVERY SINGLE Market Condition and at least quadruple every single dollar YOU deposit!
WOW! Now that’s quite a claim!
In a test, the Forex MegaDroid had a 242.78% NET Profit in the last 30 days!
Forex trading is where you trade foreign currency. Foreign currencies are constantly fluctuating.
The global foreign exchange market is the biggest market in the world, with 3.2 trillion US dollars trading on a daily basis.
To better explain Forex trading, let’s take a travel example. A year or so ago, you received 10 pesos for one U.S. dollar. Today, you receive more than 15 pesos for a dollar. This means it’s now a good time to travel to Mexico because you get 5 more pesos for your American dollar.
With Forex trading, you look at currencies around the world, and then trade on margins. Much of this can now be automated with the Forex MegaDroid.
