Brillante Award - Climbing the Steps

Posted by: Susie | Comments (8)

I was honored yesterday by Carol over at She Lives with an award, what a great way to start a morning to find a reader that enjoys what you do!

Thanks so much Carol!

I added the award to a photo I took at Starved Rock State Park - how brilliant nature can be and it seemed fitting, it’s been fun climbing the steps of blogging, and the people I have met along the way have been incredible.

I now pass it along to some of my favorite places…

I love the humor over at Monkey Fables and Tales thanks for the laughs that start the day.

Sexy Old Broad Find out for us over 40’s, 50’s and well..whatever your age, what’s fun & whats sexy for us to do!

Evolving Beings - Evita is full of spiritual information and she writes beautifully. This is truly a blog that I feel is a sanctuary on a rough day.

Mental Health Humor -A great place to heal your mental health, with facts and drawings that will help you deal with mental health issues.

Crotchety Old Man Yells At Cars - humor at it’s finest, this is a place where if your are drinking a glass of milk, it will be OUT THE NOSE!

Connect with your Teens - a great resource of teen knowledge, how to communicate and participate with your teen! Dedicated poster and full of great information for parents.

Artistic Flair by Deb Disalvo - beautiful fused glass creations - talented lady here, with a fun sense of humor and she got a tat!

There are so many bloggers out there that lend a hand each and every day to our success and our Brilliance, just open your eyes, look around and let them know that somehow they touched your world and they are appreciated. Climbing those step to Brilliance is not accomplished by oneself.

Classified Ad’s for Blogs

Posted by: Susie | Comments (3)

Flugpo Ad I just ran across an interesting post regarding Classified Ad’s for your blogs - Flugpo

I decided to give it a try and see how the traffic is and if it works.

Looking for housing, jobs, personal ads, or anything for sale. This appears to be a great venue for getting your product or services noticed.

I will be curious to see how the traffic to the site is from here, and will report back. The ads are free, so in my opinion it is worth the try.

Check out what the buzz is all about.

Eye of the “TY”ger

Posted by: Susie | Comments (10)

Ty Hurd

Sitting on the famous steps that Rocky trained on in front of The Philadelphia Museum of Art, sits a blogger by the name of Ty Hurd, I first ran across him on the Entrecard forums, reading his blog from time to time and picking up some great pointers.

I would also stumble upon him as well, and we got to chatting back and forth and he sent me a link to The Top Affiliate Challenge, where he is a contestant for the web’s first real time reality show, which will be starting to film in July.

Ty’s story of the how, what and why he joined this challenge inspired me to morph him into a place he belonged, he wanted something, and has gone after it.

Being an avid reader of John Chow he opened his feedreader one morning….and read about the Top Affiliate Challenge, a point where he pondered what he wanted to really do with his blog, be content with it as it was, or take it to the next level.
Ty Hurd Well, as you can see he decided he was going to climb those stairs, and get to that next level, I get the impression, there are no stairs to steep to climb for this guy.

He did a few auditions, and they went extremely well, but his latest one, a Spoof on Mythbusters video, has as of this morning given him a score of 79.10, which is 10 points higher than the 2nd place runner up.

Ty’s excitement to work with the man that actually inspired him to begin blogging has been a driving force behind the great video’s that he has used as auditions.

“Receiving the highest score from the producers of over 150 other video’s was an accomplishment in itself” said Ty.

Staying in the top 10 to become a contestant Ty is continuing to strive for success. With dedication and flare, this is one guy that deserves to be heard. Check out his latest audition clip and while your there, hit the number 10 and vote, give him some kudo’s for seeing what it was he wanted, and going for it.

A phrase you will see often in Ty’s blog is…”just take action and see where it takes you“
