Join My Harvest America!

My Harvest America is live and everything is running very smoothly.

We have a great company site with nice videos to present the product and it is very easy for people to sign up.

Selecting and ordering the discount groceries is easy as pie.

I have been conditioned to expect the worst from new opportunities but this one seems to be getting started without a hitch.

I am building under my daughter, so if you want to work with me ( or if you just want to save a LOT of money on your groceries) please visit MyHarvestAmerica.

As always, call me if you have any questions. 715-330-3306

Frozen energy drink cans explode in car!

Did you ever wonder what it would look like if two large cans of orange energy drink froze solid and then exploded in the front seat of a small car?

Well, if so, you have come to the right place!

When I first saw all the orange ice in the car I couldn’t imagine what it was…

Actually I am very lucky that they were frozen so hard when they exploded because it was relatively easy to sweep and scoop the ice chunks out of the car.  If they had exploded while still liquid and then later the whole mess froze up… yikes!  I don’t even want to imagine what that would have looked like.

So, the moral of the story is (obviously) don’t leave cans of liquid in the car in the winter in northern Wisconsin!

I was really getting burned out on MLM!

I haven’t posted here for a while because I haven’t really been working any MLM business for over 6 months.

I was pretty disgusted with the way things went down at my previous opportunity and, although I looked into a few other opportunities, I wound up being disappointed in all of them.

It hurt because I used to enjoy this business so much… but the way things have gone for the past year… Uggh!  I have just been feeling very burned out and negative.

I got to the point where I just refused to look at any MLM opportunities.

Honestly, I have been just deleting all MLM related emails and I am having my work phone disconnected.  (So don’t call me at 262-437-3589.  My cell phone is 715-330-3306)

But something just came up that gave me some real holiday cheer and I wanted to share it with you…

This is a new MLM and it passes my two “must have” tests: 1) It has a product that people already want and use, and 2) It is extremely low priced.

I vowed that I would NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN get into any opportunity unless it had a product that I would buy anyway and at a price that I would pay anyway.  I thought I would never again find this in MLM, but now I have!

My Harvest America” is due to go into live prelaunch early this week and we are prebuilding our downlines with leaders so we can provide spill to the people who come in later.

I cannot give you a link to sign up because it is not live but if you call me or email me I can give you a top place in the matrix and get you in as soon as it goes live.

What is My Harvest America? Basically it is grocery buying club that allows you to purchase from an online store of over 10,000 brand name items and have them shipped to your door.  The prices are almost too good to believe…  We are talking about saving 60-75% on the ordinary stuff you buy everyday…  Everything from food to pet food to paper products etc…  And the shipping is completely free!  Everything is immediately shipped out of Michigan by FedEx.  You can buy as much or as little as you want, as often as you want.  You just pay a low $30 per month fee and you can use it as much as you want.

When I first heard about this I assumed there must be some weird catch… I figured the products must either be cheap crappy no-name stuff or expensive exotic gourmet imported specialty stuff or that maybe they only let you order once a month or that maybe you had to buy a whole case of each thing to get the special price or some other stupid rule that would make it more trouble or more expensive than it was worth…

But no!  There does not seem to be any catch.  The products are are all normal everyday brands and there are no restrictions on how much or how often you order.

I know you want to check this out for yourself…  I am part of a great team so we have some websites you can look at to get the details.

Here is the website with the information: http://www.joinmenow.homestead.com

What about the opportunity?  It is a 3 by 8 forced matrix with matching bonuses and some other nice enhancements.  As with any opportunity with a value priced product, the commissions are not huge but you can make some very nice money very easily.  And there is VERY BIG money for people who really want to work it.

Pay attention to the price comparison chart!  You won’t believe it and this is just the beginning…

This is definitely NOT a scammy “get rich quick” thing with a powerline or a lot of hype.  I love it because it is the kind of thing I can really feel good about sharing with people I care about.  It has been quite a while since I had something that I could show to people and know that I was helping them!

This is something you can share with anyone.  You don’t need to learn any science or nutrition or explain any complicated details.  Just tell people about how you are saving money on your groceries.

And there is more to it than just saving money!  The convenience is amazing!

So many people are going to love having their groceries delivered to their door…  I live in rural northern Wisconsin so I know a lot of people who really have a problem getting out to do their grocery shopping during the winter.  I also have a daughter going to college in the city and not having a car, she does most of her shopping at fiercely expensive convenience stores.  Think of all the elderly people you know who have trouble getting their groceries into the house.  Think of all the stay at home moms who hate dragging their toddlers through the grocery store.

My Harvest America

Can you see why I am excited about this?

I was honestly ready to give up on this business until I saw My Harvest America.

I never thought I would be extending another invitation to join me in an opportunity but here we are…   It makes sense to me and I hope it will make sense to you.

Please take a minute to check out the websites and let me know what you think.  If you want a spot in the matrix please let me know right away.

Please call me on my cell phone at 715-330-3306 or email me at mmoconnor@yahoo.com

Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a very Merry Christmas!

I have a new phone number!

I have a new phone number: 715-330-3306. You can also see it over by my picture in the right column. Please use this number from now on. My old number will be disconnected in a few weeks.

I am available 9am – 9pm central time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Back from vacation…

I am back from my vacation and getting over a bad cold that I picked up as a Labor Day souvenir.

Actually it is nice to be back in my office and doing the work I love.

Give me a call if there is anything I can help you with!

I am so on vacation!

cat on beach, cat on vacation, cat vacation

I am on vacation until at least September 6th.  See you then…

Oooops! I messed up my phone!

I am out of town for the weekend and I messed up the forwarding on my office phone and toll free number!

All my calls are being forwarded to my teenaged son’s cell phone.  He doesn’t have his voice mail set up so if he doesn’t answer, callers will get an error message.

My apologies if you have tried to reach me.  I can’t really fix it now but I will be back in my office on Monday.

Talk to you then…

Cool Free Online Graphics Tool

I use Photoshop for all my graphics work and I am very happy with it.  People often ask me about a cheap or free alternative for Photoshop and I recommend Elements or GIMP.  Until recently, those three options seemed to cover all the bases.

However, now that the weather is getting nice, I want to get out of the office and enjoy our short, but very sweet, Wisconsin summer.  When I work out on the porch or in the garden I use my laptop and that works fine for everything but graphics editing.  My laptop is several years old and just doesn’t have the power to run a graphics editor.

I considered upgrading to a new, more powerful laptop but that seemed extravagant because 95% of the time the only thing I use the laptop for is as a radio.  I’ve gotten completely spoiled by online streaming radio and now that’s just about all I listen to.  My favorites are Pandora and Word of Truth Radio.  I keep my laptop next to the stereo in my living room with the speakers plugged into it and listen all day long to great commercial-free radio from the internet.  So, I would feel a little funny upgrading to a more expensive laptop, knowing that I would mainly be using it just as a radio!

I was resigned to doing my graphics work indoors until I came across this great free ONLINE graphics editor called Pixlr.   It is an online flash application so there is nothing to download.  It runs on any computer with any operating system.  All it requires is Flash.

I am so happy with it.  Now I can work outside on the porch or in the garden all day long.

Here is a video tutorial that shows off the interface and helps you get started:

Why didn’t I approve your comment?

Sometimes I get questions about why I didn’t approve a certain comment…  The really obviously spammy comments get taken care of by Akismet but I go through the rest of them one by one to decide whether or not to let them appear on my blog.

I think I am pretty easy-going and tolerant and I usually approve anything that is halfway sensible and on topic.  However I do feel that since this is my blog after all, I do get to set a few ground rules.

When I don’t approve a comment it is almost always because there is a link to or mention of something or someone I find really offensive.  Why should I allow my blog to be used to promote something offensive?

What do I consider offensive?  Here is a partial list: Powerline MLMs, gifting programs, pyramid schemes, gambling, pornography, prostitution, child abuse, violence and terrorism.

I don’t approve comments promoting any of those activities and I don’t approve comments from people known to be promoters of those activities.

For example I would obviously not approve a comment advocating the violent over-throw of the American government.  I would also not approve a perfectly innocuous looking comment about Disney cartoons if it was signed by Osama Bin Laden, simply because he is known for promoting something offensive.

Controversial (but very cool) Freebie!

The Giveaway of the Day today (today only) is an amazing piece of software that I have coveted for a long time but never really had enough need for to justify buying it.  But now that it is free (for today only) I snapped it up.

So what is it and why is it controversial?

It is a swf decompiler!  In plain English, it is a tool to enable you to take apart and edit a type of video file that you usually can’t work with at all.

If you work with graphics you know that a psd file has layers that can be taken all apart and manipulated any way you want, but a jpeg has no layers and is very hard to work with.  If you work with text you know that a doc file can be edited but a pdf cannot.

In video, a swf file is like a jpg or a pdf, you usually can’t edit it at all, but a flv file is like a psd or a doc that can be taken apart and played with.

The Trillex Flash Decompiler converts uneditable swf files into easily editable flv files!  WOW!  That is really powerful!

And that is why it is controversial…  An unscrupulous person can use it to take a video created by someone else and edit it or grab pieces of it or recaption it or just about anything they feel like doing.

Honest people use the decompiler to work on their own files or files in the public domain.  But it makes a lot of people very nervous to have a tool like this floating around.

If you have ever paid to have a video created you know how expensive it can be.  If you have ever created a nice one yourself you know how much work it can be.

How would you feel if you went to all that effort or expense only to find your video has been altered and used by your competitors or that someone else is taking credit for your artistic creation?

If you decide to take advantage of today’s amazing freebie I hope you use it responsibly.
