(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/bbSq1) I would like to show you an easy way to use the cry me a river Jazz lick over a ii V7 I chord progression. There are many ways to incorporate the cry me a river lick into your Jazz solos, but this is one of the first ways I learned how to do so and I've been using this technique ever since.
Here is a sound sample on F blues progression with trumpet:
How to memorize the cry me a river lick in 12 keys:
For this ii V7 I Jazz lick, the only important chords are the V7 going to the I chord. All you have to know is you are starting on the flat third of whatever chord the V7 chord is. In the above example, F natural is the b3 of the D7 chord. You can play whatever your heart desires on the ii chord. After you play the cry me a river Jazz lick, your goal is to land on either the 3rd or 5th chord tone of the tonic chord.
As far as memorizing the cry me a river lick, for me this Jazz lick was memorized easiest by feel. This is because it usually goes by pretty fast and it's a little bit easier to memorize in some keys better than others.
(My Original Blog Post: http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/2009/12/best-ways-promote-advertise-global-npn-referral-link-free-online/) I initially decided to write this blog post to help my Global NPN matrix members brainstorm on ways to get their Global NPN referral link out on the web so they can start getting sign ups. Remember, with Global NPN, you will only need to refer 2 other paid members in order for the membership to be free if you are at the PRO level. I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm also not saying it's going to happen by itself. You need to make the effort or else you'll never sign anyone up.
These are not the only ways to promote Global NPN, because there are too many to mention. The number one question I get from new Global NPN sign ups is, "How do I get started?" This is why I am dispensing this information to you, whether you are in my matrix or not, this information will help you get the 2 needed paid sign ups to make all the advertising tools free and to produce a nice monthly residual income online with Global NPN.
When you first start off, you might tell your friends and family, but you'll run out of prospects real quick if that's all you do. This is why I like Global NPN so much, you can promote and advertise the business entirely online without ever actually having to talk to a single soul about signing up.
Safelists are yet another free way to promote your Global NPN referral link. There are currently 3 e-mail ads in your Global NPN back office you can use for these Safelists, or you can simply make your own.
Write blog posts and articles about Global NPN
Basically what I'm doing right now. Believe it or not, this blog post I'm writing is going to get thousands of hits during its lifetime from search engine traffic and definitely is not a waste of time in my opinion, plus I'm helping others at the same time. If you have a blog, great, if not, then the two blog platforms to choose from are Blogger and Wordpress.
Take advantage of Global NPN eCertificates
Global NPN's eCertificates are the best way to get sign ups because you get 50% of the eCertificate back every time a referral uses one. So you buy one at $10.75. Someone signs up for the 30 day free trial with Global NPN and you get $5.00 back. So it's basically like you're paying $5.00 a sign up. If that member stays on for one more month, you now have gotten your entire eCertificate back and it cost you nothing. If that Global NPN member stays on after that, it's all profit from then on out. This is why it's most important to help the people you refer succeed with Global NPN so that they keep the membership for years to come.
Also, if you offer the 30 day free trial, this shows your prospects that you are very serious about Global NPN being the best business opportunity out there today and that you are willing to take a risk at your own expense because you know that after they have a free trial, it will make sense and they will keep the membership.
Make a video about Global NPN
Making a quick video of yourself explaining how Global NPN has made you money online or why it makes sense to you will dramatically influence others on why they would want to join themselves. Plus it is a way for the undecided referral to connect with you on a different level. The video doesn't have to be fancy and you can upload it to YouTube or another video network. See one of my Global NPN videos below:
Use the Global NPN url rotator to your advantage
Everyone that joins Global NPN directly under me is inserted into a Global NPN URL rotator and promoted at the main sign up bonus page. This is an extra incentive for joining through me. I don't have to do this, but I want to help my matrix members any way I can. After I see two referrals under them, I remove them from the rotator so others can benefit.
After you get paid by Global NPN, show your proof of payment
It won't take you long to get paid by Global NPN since you only have to earn $20.00 in commissions in order to get paid automatically on the 10th of the month. See a proof of payment I received from Global NPN.
Add Global NPN to your social network and forum profiles
What do I mean by this? Well every social network allows you to put a website as part of your profile. The social networks you should be building are Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in my opinion. Don't ever try to promote Global NPN directly on these networks, but instead just do you normal every day things and have your Global NPN link or image link in your profile or forum signature.
Add your Global NPN to the bottom of your e-mails
Think about how many e-mails you send out every day. If you put a simple e-mail signature at the bottom with your Global NPN referral link on it, this will get you traffic to your site.
Use the advertising tools that the Global NPN membership provides
You got an e-mail blaster that you can use to promote Global NPN with. You got url trackers to see how many hits you're really getting at the traffic exchanges and safelists. Global NPN also offer plenty of solo ad resources and other ad resources in your back office. The autoresponder is for other businesses you're currently promoting. All the sign ups you get through your capture pages are already put in an autoresponder for you. So that's taken care of already. So Global NPN offers a lot of great ways to advertise your referral link online.
Like I said, these are free ways to promote your Global NPN referral link. If you feel like you're ready to take it to the next level and have Global NPN residual income coming in, then I would start paying for advertising to build you business even faster.
A member of Signupandmakemoney introduced a new sign up bonus site called Cash Pirate. I would like to thank Brenda for her contribution to this sign up bonus site. Because of her generous contribution, her Cash Pirate affiliate link is used in this post and at the main sign up bonus list. You can join Cash Pirate for free and get a 50 cent sign up bonus.
There really isn't much to Cash Pirate, it's pretty similar to most get paid to sites I've seen. Cash Pirate is in a class of it's own as far as looks go. I really like how they designed the site. It looks really professional. I signed up on the program to give it a test drive. They have an active forum which is always a good thing so you know where to go if you need help with something beside just contacting admin.
Cash Pirate has kind of a strict sign up process though. You have to verify your phone number in order to get paid. Another thing I don't like is that they are selling referrals. I highly recommend not taking advantage of this. You have to realize that most referrals by nature are duds to begin with. There is no need to upgrade your account with them unless you've seriously done your due diligence.
You only need to make $5.00 in paid offers with Cash Pirate in order to receive your first payment. Like I said before, you'll have to verify your phone number. I think this is fair enough since you get the 50 cent sign up bonus, you might as well make sure to verify your account. Their are a whole lot of scammers out there scamming the affiliate programs, trust me, I know!
There's a whole lot more I could say about Cash Pirate, but I'm going to leave it up to you to see if they are a site worth joining or not. Make sure to take a look at more free get paid to sign up bonus sites to join and let me know what you think.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/9Te7c) I wanted to share this smokin Jazz trumpet solo of Tom Harrell with the Phil Woods Quintet. When I was watching this Jazz video I noticed how Tom Harrell rests his fingers over his trumpet valves. I'm wondering if this helps his technique overall on the trumpet. According to how he sounds in the Jazz clip I'm going to have to say that it helps him quite a bit.
This great recording of Tom Harrell took place in Hamburg of 1988. I have one problem though, I'm not sure what the name of the tune is. If anyone could help me out on this it would be greatly appreciated.
(My Original Blog Post: http://mywebmastertips.com/social-media-internet-marketing-goals-when-bored/) As an internet marketer, let's face it, you always got to be putting yourself out there in order to be seen online. One of the best ways to do this is to take advantage of all the great social media sites out there by simply continuing your efforts to grow your social networks and keep interaction with your social networks.
By doing what any member of a social media site would do, naturally commenting and replying to comments, will get your where you want to be online. Of course you're not selling anything except for having your main site in your social media profile. That's it, everything else is natural commenting and interaction to get free traffic to your profile, which in turn will get free traffic to your main site or business.
It's not rocket science by any means, but it does take a good amount of time and effort on your part. This is why I recommend taking advantage of such social media tasks when you're bored. Why not? You don't have to be 100% focused when doing such a thing. You could be watching TV or listening to some music while keeping interaction going in your social networks. Am I right about this or what?
Alright, let's get straight to the point on some goals you can try to reach while you're in that state of boredom. A good note to take here is that moderation is always the key to success. This is why I recommend limiting to your efforts to 5 at a time. You can do more a day, but 5 things per social network is actually quite a bit of work if you are legitimately commenting and making friends online.
Here we go!
Make 5 new Facebook friend requests
Go through your Facebook friend's friends and see who else you know. If you don't know them all too well, make sure to leave a quick message in your initial friend request to help break the ice. Things like, "I'm a friend of so and so and we both like music." Doesn't have to be complex. Go to your news feed as soon as you log in and reply a couple comments as well.
Comment on 5 videos and request friends with 5 people on Youtube
This doesn't take very much time and it's always a whole lot of fun to watch neat videos at Youtube. I can almost guarantee you that every person that accepts you as a friend will check out your profile. This will get traffic to your videos, which will then hopefully lead them to your website.
Follow 5 people on Twitter
Go through people you're already following and see other Twitter profiles that have the same niche as you. Become a follower, then you will get exposure to your site. I don't like using programs and scripts to build my Twitter network, instead, I prefer to do it the old fashion way.
Comment on 5 blogs in your niche
Simply do a Google search and find similar blogs to yours and submit natural comments and actually take the time to really find out what the blogger is writing about. Make sure to only comment on blogs that take a name and url so you can always get a link back to your site as well as most likely having the owner of that blog definitely take a look at your site. You know they will too, blog owners don't want to link to bad sites, so they will take a quick look at your site. I know I do.
Do 5 forum posts or replies
If you're not already a member of some forums, you definitely should be. Forums have always been a good way to get traffic and links back to your sites. Just make sure you fill out a simple signature in your forum's profile area for everyone you're a part of. Then just naturally reply to people's posts and people will see your site, you will get traffic from this. You'll at least get a hit from the person that started the topic in the first place. Starting your own unique topic will get you even more traffic.
Do 1 blog post for the day
Constantly getting unique content out on the world wide web will always give you free targeted search engine traffic. I try and make it a goal to do at least one blog post a day because I know over time every one of these blog posts are getting me visitors to my sites and at the same time I'm helping people find information on the web.
I know that was a lot of information. Now, I mentioned doing these things when you're bored online. Now imagined if you made these things a daily endeavor. Think about how much traffic this would generate, over time, to your main website(s).
Well, let's take a look, shall we?
With 365 days in a year, you'll end up with results similar to these:
365 unique blog posts and pages to your site.
1,825 forum posts and replies, your link will be on all of these.
1,825 blog comments on other peoples sites, your link will be on theirs.
About 1,825 new Twitter followers, if they follow you back.
1,825 comments on Youtube with link to your profile plus the friends.
About 1,825 new friends on Facebook.
I know it is almost impossible to accomplish these kinds of results in our busy lives, but a little bit everyday can and will add up. I don't waste my time with smaller social networks either. In my mind, the 3 social networks you should put your time and effort into building are Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter. I see the most potential with these 3.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/qSRBP) I was checking my e-mail today and saw a Paypal notification of payment received. I, like always, get thrilled to see that I am getting paid for my efforts online. Today the commission I received was from Gomez, Inc. To be honest with you, I didn't earn my commissions just for leaving my computer on, but instead I got my payment proof thanks to referring a couple other free members to Gomez. Right now they are giving $1.00 referral bonuses to their affiliates. This is a pretty hefty referral fee if you ask me, since it's free and all.
I had the Gomez Peer software installed on my old computer. Now that they paid me, I figured it would be a good idea to install it on my current computer. So I did that, took me less than 5 minutes to set up.
Gomez is free to join, easy to make money with, and is now proven "to me" anyway that they really do pay their members. I know I haven't made a whole lot of money with Gomez Peer, but I also haven't done much with their program. Now I am going to use the software and make sure you guys all know about this free opportunity online.

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/rWEJM) I've been seeing the promotion of GJobs Data Service being promoted recently on the web and decided to take a quick look at it because the Safelist ads claimed that they offer a $5.00 sign up bonus for joining. If you look at their main home page, you won't see the sign up bonus advertised. This is unusual to me. Why even offer a sign up bonus if you're not going to promote it? If you click on the "Join Now" button, you'll see the $5.00 sign up bonus promotion.
Anyway, I'm writing this post to warn you that GJobs Data Service doesn't look too stable in my opinion. How can they claim to offer 5 cents per click to their affiliates? Boy are they in for some trouble. I tried doing that with my affiliate program and affiliates put their referral links in all kinds of scripted rotators and such. I had one idiot earn over $80.00 in one day because he simply put his affiliate link in a frame that would open up every time another site would open up. My point is, GJobs Data Service will be out of business in no time if this is the case. Or they will be deleting a whole lot of abusive affiliates.
Another thing that really bothers me about GJobs Data Service is that their website looks like a kid designed it yet they claim to have been in business since 1999. You're telling me 10 years have passed and you don't even know how to put padding between your text and css backgrounds?
Take a good look at their earner's recent checks as well in the side bar. $2,000 and $3,000 checks and no real proof. I am an affiliate and since I put my referral link on my sign up bonus list I've gotten two clicks. This means I've earned 10 cents so far. So it seems all is well so far. By the way, you need to earn at least $50.00 in order to get paid.
Like I say with any sign up bonus site. Take advantage of the free stuff, don't ever upgrade or buy referrals and focus too much time in any one site because it could disappear at anytime. I believe GJobs Data Service to be very fishy and it could very well possibly be a scam because I've seen something similar to this that ended up disappearing. Nonetheless, it is free to join and try, so decide for yourself on whether or not you want to be serious with the Data Service Company.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/dbHZd) Here is an easy ii V7 I Jazz lick to learn in 12 keys. I was messing around with some Aebersolds a few days ago and started playing it. I knew I heard the lick before somewhere, it sounded really old school to me, yet still hip enough to play. It really sounds cool if you land on the raised fourth instead of the third on the I chord. The reason I call the lick old school is because it sounds like something an old school cat would play.
Here is a sound sample and example over a blues progression played on trumpet:
How to memorize this ii V7 I Jazz lick in 12 keys:
Well, you'll notice that the Jazz lick simply starts off on the tonic of the ii chord. I like to think in minor for pretty much the entire lick. In the above example, you just go down the D minor scale doing a little turn on the sixth and doing a chromatic to the b5. Then you'll hit the third scale degree of the V7 chord. I think to the b7th, then down the minor arpeggio doing pretty much whatever you like finally ending on the 3rd of the I chord.
I since this lick isn't very fast and if you think about the minor scale, this Jazz lick is probably easy enough to learn by ear and feel in 12 keys.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/0r3jZ) Now I know this Blog isn't a diet blog, but it is a money making blog. I've found a method that works for me in controlling how much food I eat a day and the quality of that food. So what you'll learn after reading this article is how to save a little bit of time and money in how you eat, where you eat, and how long it takes out of your day to eat.
Some of what I say you may completely agree with, other stuff you might think to be crap, but you know what they say, take everything with a grain of salt, right? Just a quick disclaimer to make the FTC happy, Subway and Kashi did not pay me in any way to write about them. Everything I say about them is an opinion free of endorsement.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the point at hand. What is the diet? Well, let me first point out some basic things first that I've learned from hardcore dieters. We all know that it is recommended to eat at least 6 times a day. We should eat essentially, 3 meals (about the size of our fist) and 3 snacks a day. You also want to make sure you are getting all the food groups in your daily diet as well. Always drink plenty of water. On top of all this, you want to make sure you are eating only naturally whole foods and that you try your best to stay away from these three ingredients mostly found in processed foods:
Now that I've laid out the basic rules, let's get to the diet. Starting off with Kashi products. Why do I like Kashi products?
They are all natural products.
They usually contain a good amount of fiber and protein.
They are easy to carry with you at all times.
They don't go bad, meaning they won't expire for awhile.
You can choose from a whole lot of flavored cereals and granola bars.
OK, so the first meal of the day will be half a bowl of Kashi cereal starting off whenever you wake up, usually around 6-7am on a normal working day.
Then of course, you'll want to snack around 9-10am. I usually have a Kashi granola bar if I don't have an apple or other piece of fruit to snack on.
For lunch, as I mentioned earlier, I go to Subway and get only a foot-long sub for the second meal of the day. You've probably heard this before, instead of eating the whole sub, I only eat half and save the other half for dinner. Depending on what sub you get, you are essentially getting most of your food groups for the day here. You can get any sub that you'd like to, but I pretty much always get the turkey sub. Here's what I put on it:
Foot-long on wheat.
Turkey (covers the meat family for the day).
Cheese (covers the milk family for the day).
Lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cucumbers, green peppers (more than covers the vegetable family for the day).
Then I top if off with mustard and black pepper (this gives it more flavor and mustard isn't bad for you like dressing is).
Instead of buying a soda at Subway, I just keep a diet soda either on me or at home to eat with the sub. I'll also have almonds or another Kashi bar instead of chips as well. I'll do this for both lunch and dinner. I find that a can of diet soda fills me up more than water, but I drink plenty of water throughout the day.
After that, around 3-4pm, I will eat another snack. Try to get fruit like apple, orange, or grapes, but if those aren't around you can always have another Kashi bar or nuts.
Of course, the third meal, dinner will be the second half of the Subway sandwich. I keep the other half in my fridge at home wrapped up nicely so it's good to go. Along with the Subway sandwich I'll have a can of diet soda and either nuts or another Kashi bar.
You guessed it, the final snack can be fruit, nuts, or another Kashi bar if you don't have the latter available.
Is this recommended as something to do everyday? Of course not. There is no way this could possibly turn into an everyday diet for anyone. But it can very easily be a routine diet on your normal, standard daily living. This is if you live and work near a Subway, which I do. Otherwise, you might want to make the sandwiches yourself if you're not lazy like me.
If you do this diet, you are spending about $6.00 a day at Subway. That equals $6 x 30 days = $180.00 a month. What do you need to buy at the grocery store? Here a few suggestions, but you are free to buy to fit your current needs:
Diet soda.
Purified water and lowfat milk
Kashi cereal.
Kashi granola bars
Fruit - grapes, strawberries, blue berries, raspberries, apples, oranges, etc..
Nuts - almonds, non-salted peanuts.
Since you'll be getting all your meat and vegetables needed for the day with your Subway sandwich, you won't need to buy any of that at the grocery store. You'll just need to make sure you get fruit and other protein and fiber rich foods. The above will cost you about another $50.00 to $100.00 a month. Man, it's not easy or cheap eating healthy. This will keep your monthly eating expenses at around $300.00 a month. Plus you will only have to eat out once a day and go grocery shopping once every two weeks or so which will save you gas money as well.
Wow, that was a lot of writing. To quickly recap, let's go over the six meals a day:
Half bowl of Kashi cereal for breakfast.
Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for snack.
First half of Subway sandwich plus diet beverage and snack for lunch (lunch should be your biggest meal of the day).
Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for snack.
Second half of Subway sandwich plus diet beverage and snack for dinner.
Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for final snack.
Would love to know your opinion of this diet or any room for improvements you may have to offer.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/XvSj9) Oh yes, I said it, good old Internet Explorer 6 (IE6). Don't you just love that this obsolete browser is not only still around but that people are still actually using it? Fortunately, I do have some good news for you about why you really shouldn't care whether or not Internet Explorer 6 renders your site properly or not.
Even though the crappy browser is still being used, it's not being used by individuals per say, but by Government and other networked entities that still use the old Windows framework to keep all their systems networked.
The reason why this is good is because Government and private employees are not supposed to be browsing websites unrelated to getting their work done anyway. This means the likely hood of your website even being seen by this small percentage of people is pretty slim to begin with.
Even individuals of third world Countries aren't using Internet Explorer 6 anymore. It's so easy for individuals to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, but like I said before, it' not so easy for a Government entity that is still using the old Windows network to get so easily upgraded.
A large majority of us hate Internet Explorer 6 and the entire series of Internet Explorer browsers in general because of their strict conformance rules on w3c css and such anyway. One of my biggest pet peeves about Internet Explorer in general, even though it's still the super power when it comes to Internet browsers, is the fact that they still haven't conformed with the border-radius css rule that automatically rounds all corners to make your site look really cool without images.
Anyway, back to my point. I would only focus your efforts on making sure your sites work in the latest and greatest browsers and totally forget about Internet Explorer 6 all together. It's just not worth the time for the low amount of traffic you'll get from that particular browser.
A few years back I got into web design and internet marketing. This is something I really love to do! I have been making money online since 2008.
