Why Are You Here and How Did You Get Here?

Posted on August 15, 2011 by saumie

Welcome and thanks for coming by

The title of this article is not meant to be the deep question of why you exist and how you came to be.  I firmly believe that you were created by God and have a specific purpose for being placed on earth, exactly where you are and during this time.  But, that’s not what I’m here to discuss with you right now….that’s a topic that deserves it’s own time and I’d be happy to talk with you further if you’d like to get in touch with me just leave a comment and I’ll be in contact with you.

No, this site is all about “AweSaum” stuff.  That’s right!  What you’ll find here is numerous articles that touch on a variety of different aspects of life.  There are topics on health, family, wealth (both creating and keeping), spiritual, fun, etc., etc.  So, why are you here and how did you find me?  Leave some comments so I know.

You see, the spring of 2005, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Squamous Cell Carcinoma, neck cancer.  I was given six to eighteen months to live.  But, as you can tell, here in 2012, I’m still here so God had a different plan for me.  If you feel so led, you can find out more about all that on the About Me page.

Anyway, since I have not been able to be out in the field working any longer, it’s provided me with lot’s of time to mess around on the internet.  Let me tell you, I wish I would have taken the time to do more of this “discovering” long ago.  The opportunities for making some money (and in many cases….lot’s of money) are endless.  All from the comfort of your own home without having to get up to an alarm, fight rush hour traffic and possibly go to a job where the boss doesn’t appreciate you.

So, without rambling on and on here, just take some time to look around if you would.  Then, if you don’t mind, leave a few comments and tell me what you think.  If there’s anything more that you’d like to know, just get in touch with me.

With all this time on my hands, I’ve really been having a good time.  Not only have I created this site, and continually update it, I also have another site called LuvinLifeGuy (I’m sure by now, you know that the blue lettering underlined means it’s a clickable link and it will take you directly to my site).  Check it out when you get a chance.

Another site I developed is Understanding Credit Card Processing .  You see, when I was working, I was a Merchant Services Rep offering credit card processing services to merchants.  I was constantly amazed at how little merchants really understood about this cost center in their business.  Unfortunately, that really put merchants in a position of being taken advantage of.  I always took the position of educating my merchants and forming mutually rewarding relationships with them which is why I’m still doing business with them today and continuing to earn residual income…..they trust me!  Anyway, on my site, I present relavent articles that benefit business owners but, more importantly, I offer a FREE email course entitled, Understanding Credit Card Processing.

So, if you are in business, accepting plastic for payment of goods or services or, if you know anyone that is in business….send ‘em on over to take advantage of this valuable resource.

So, once again, thanks for coming by and please come back often and  share this site with others.  And, if you like what you’ve discovered here, and would like to be automatically notified whenever new content is posted, simply click on the RSS icon below and add us to your feed burner.

RIPPLN is EXPLODING

Posted on May 3, 2013 by saumie

Think back to nearly a decade ago, in February 2004….what were you doing?  Do you remember?  Back then a 19 year old sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg, launched Facebook (then called The Facebook) to a few friends at Harvard.  They spread the word about this “social network” that could be used to quickly, and easily, keep up with your friends and they with you.  The idea caught on and spread quickly, in a “controlled” manner during this initial beta phase.  You see, Mark felt he was really onto something but wanted to make certain it operated smoothly so they used this time to work out the bugs.  Do you think that any of those initial members/participants would have had any idea how much impact their “social influence” would have going forward?  As of September 2012, it is reported that there are over a billion active users on Facebook.  That’s a lot of eyeballs looking at and actively engaging with various aspects of what Facebook has to offer.  In fact, it’s that “eyeball acquisition” that has made Facebook and its early founders, so incredibly wealthy.

Okay, enough about Facebook other than to say…it’s you and I and people like us, that have provided for this amazing growth and wealth….and how have we been compensated?  Zip, nada, zilch.  That’s right, we have made them RICH, RICH, RICH.  Don’t you think that it’s about time you were rewarded for your social influence?  Well, it is and that’s what I about to reveal to you.  Keep reading and I’m confident that you will discover what it is that so many people are excited about.

Facebook came out recently and said their biggest mistake is that they didn’t “go mobile” sooner.  The reason being is that there are more people accessing the internet via mobile devices than there are using laptops or PC’s.  Think about this for a minute….how many apps do you have on your phone right now?  Of those, how many do you access on a regular or maybe even daily basis?  How about Twitter, Instagram, Angry Birds, Pinterest, Pandora, LinkedIn, etc, etc?  They continue to get bigger and bigger because people keep telling others about them and inviting them to check them out.  These are all FREE apps yet they are some of the highest valued tech products in the world.  The money comes in to these companies as a result of some of the eyeballs using these apps, make in-app purchases and transactions.  These mentioned apps are just a few of the more than 40 million apps already created.  All the major magazines and news publications are talking about MOBILE and APPS.  Mobile is NOT A TREND, it’s becoming a way of life.

Let’s take a look at a few examples.  Have you ever heard of, or used, Instagram?  This app was created by two young guys who then sold it to Facebook for $1 billion.  And why do you suppose that was…EYEBALLS!  How about Angry Birds…On a bad day, they have about 300 million playing this game…EYEBALLS.  Their last app got 50 million downloads in 35 days.  And then, there’s Farmville and I bet you’ve been invited by someone to check it out, haven’t you?  Farmville, and its creators, get about $3 million in revenue daily…EYEBALLS, that are making IN-APP purchases or upgrades.  I could go on with more examples but I’m sure you’re beginning to get the picture.  These companies/apps, grow simply because one person tells another, who tells another and so on and so on and THEY, the creators, reap the financial rewards.  These tech giants already know the value of your friends and make billions due to your sharing, your social graph.  What you’re about to see and hear about could change your life and financial picture simply if you catch the vision and SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY.

In mid-April a packed house of approximately 700 people, in Dallas, that were there by private invitation only, were introduced to RIPPLN.  The buzz in the room that weekend was incredible as invitees began to see the potential for this app.  Since then, in just a few short weeks, RIPPLN has attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the world.  The company has truly created a viral sensation across the world and is attracting all types of ages, professions, and companies alike.  The RIPPLN app brings long-overdue transparency to the social engagement business and has created a new monetary model for “eyeball acquisition”.  With RIPPLN,  people will finally be able to see the impact of their social graph on the market and have the chance to profit from it.  The app is set to launch in over 78 countries upon its release at the end of May.  You, if you decide to act on it, have the  opportunity, to get involved for FREE while it’s still in its pre-launch phase.  And, as you invite others to check it out, your “social influence” will begin to have a very transparent “ripple” effect.

RIPPLN is a very simple concept…DOWNLOAD APPS, REFER YOUR FRIENDS, EARN REWARDS.  THE POWER OF ONE…TO CHANGE MANY.  So, what are you waiting for…building your “ripple” right now may be one of the most important things you can possibly do in your entire life.  These are exciting times my friends, and this is just the beginning.  There is power in getting involved early in something that is expected to be huge.  The early growth rate has already exceeded the early growth rate of Facebook.

Get back to the person that directed you to this site and request a private code right away.  If you happened to stray upon this page on your own, get in touch with me personally for your private invitation.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hey, who do you know that’s out of work and desperately needs to make some real money for a change?  This must be someone that’s not afraid to work but it’s the kind of work that is very rewarding….if you know what I mean.

You have got to meet Les Tyler! She’s discovered the ultimate *RECESSION PROOF* profitable business:  cleaning out foreclosed homes for the banks!

She and her husband used to run a small construction cleaning company, but when the economy tanked… well, they pretty much lost everything…UNTIL…they got a contract from the bank to clean out and fix up a foreclosed home.

That day they made – get this – $1873 AFTER expenses!  $1873 In a SINGLE DAY!!!  Now they make two, three and four times that much per day   and the best part is, they don’t even do the cleaning themselves!  This could really change the life of someone you know that may be in need.  Maybe, you might even find it right for you too.

To learn more, just click the link below…What could you do with a few thousand extra dollars a month doing only one cleanup a week?  Pay down the mortgage?  Take care of all the bills? Buy the kids nice clothes for school?  Or how about treat yourself for once?

It’s more than an idea, it’s a real, proven, business you can start up with less than $500 and be up and running in a week.

All you need to do is CLICK HERE to see if it’s something of interest in a real business that is virtually recession proof.

Everything you need to know about online movie downloads

Posted on January 5, 2013 by saumie

When people first began to log on to the Internet, it was mainly used as a source to keep in touch and share photos with family and friend, as well as chat with new friends across the ocean. As more and more homes connected with the Internet, online game became quite popular.

Then, along came social networking, which took the world by storm and is still going strong today. However, the thing that has more people than ever logging on to the Internet is movies.

Since the first movies hit the big screen many, many years ago, people have been in love with watching movies. No matter what is going on in your life at the moment, a movie can take you anywhere you want to go. Comedies pick you up when you are feeling blue. A romance will sweep you off your feet. A great horror flick will scare you back to reality, while a drama will show you the harshness that is among us. It makes no difference what age you are or what mood you are in; there is a movie for you.

With the major advances that are being made, watching movies from home is more convenient than ever. Thanks to the Internet, you are able to watch many movies without ever leaving your home.

In addition, with the Internet you are not limited to viewing the movies that are released in your region. You can watch movies online from anywhere around the world, in a number of different languages. Watching movies online is more than a time for relaxation these days; it is a cultural experience.

Best of all, you do not have to throw out your television set and figure out how to get your whole family in front of your laptop. You can watch the movies you get online right on your television set. One option, if your equipment has the capability, is to connect your PC to your TV with the help of audio and video cards and watch the downloaded movie straight on your TV set.

Another option to get online movies to your television set is with a wireless DVD player. There are no cable to hook up if you decide to use this method and the quality of video and sound are truly fantastic. Keep in mind, however, that this method is still relatively new and still quite expensive. Average prices currently start around $200 and go up from there.

Finally, if you want to watch movies that you download from an online movie site on your family television set, all you need is a DVD burner and a disc. Download the movies that you want to see to your hard drive, then burn them onto a DVD and play them in your regular DVD player just like you would any movie you picked up at the local rental store.

Online movies give you the power and freedom to watch the movies you want to see when you want to see them in the privacy of your own home, or wherever you want to be. Technological advances have made it possible to watch movies right from your cell phone for viewing anywhere on the go. Just remember to stick to the legal movie download sites to avoid major consequences.
