Karen’s Opinion

I have been asked to review audio recorder software. They wouldn’t have needed to ask because when I saw this site I was hooked. This software allows you to capture all kinds of Streaming Video and Audio, including Radio Shows, Online TV Broadcasts, video clips, audio archives, and Podcasts. I can save all the things I would normally have to stay home to see. Since I don’t want to stay home I have been resigned to just missing all my favorite things. Now I don’t have to! I love this! My kids will love that they can create high quality MP3 files for listening on their PC, iPod, MP3 Player or a PDA. At alldigitalguide.com you can check out their Audio Recorder Software Review and make comparisons of these best audio sound recorder software programs by price and quality. Get the best one for you. I cannot wait!

Hubby and I decided to move all the living room furniture into our new room. We call this room our lodge on the lake that we don’t have. LOL It has cedar siding and windows all around on two sides. It is very rustic. We are going to add a stone fireplace and wood look Konecto floor but that will come later. We have too many projects this summer to start any more. It is 10:30 and we started working on this project at 9 am. I think I will sleep like a baby tonight!

PayPerPost has introduced PPPDirect. Advertisers who have bloggers, like me, have requested the ability to contact Posties directly. This gives the advertiser the ability to pick who they want to blog about their product. Many advertisers like to be talked about on a blog like mine. My blog is very general in that I talk about lots of different things. Some blogs are focused on a specific topic like cooking or music. Those blogs don’t always fit with the type of advertising say, an insurance company, is looking for. With PPPDirect, an advertiser can arrange, through PayPerPost, to have a specific blogger take their job.

Are wondering why an advertiser doesn’t just contact the blogger and ask them to write a post for their company? Well, they can. There is risk involved in that type of arrangement. For one, there is no guarantee that the blogger will write a quality ad or that they will write the ad at all. Secondly, there is no guarantee that an advertiser will pay the blogger for writing the ad.

That is too much risk for me! PPPDirect acts as a type of escrow service where they hold the advertisers money until the post is written. Then PPPDirect pays the Postie.

What does PayPerPost get out of this deal? They get exposure. They are beating the bushes to make blog advertising one that is used more and more. They also make 10% of the deal. That isn’t much considering 5% of the money goes to pay credit card and PayPal transaction fees. It is actually peanuts compared to what other companies get.

Most of the other, pay to blog, companies like ReviewMe charge 50-100% markup and keep up to half of the advertiser’s money. This makes the payment the blogger gets a pretty low percentage of the amount paid. PPP Direct cuts out the massive overhead.

I am proud that PPPDirect asked me to tell you about this new program.

Today was such a fun day. I went to an auction. Auctions are held at our fairgrounds building most every Saturday. Usually I have to work but because it is Memorial Day weekend, I had the day off. I love/hate the thrill of bidding at an auction. My face gets so hot and my hands start shaking. I don’t know what comes over me. I love it when I win!

Have you ever thought about where your food comes from? When we would drive through the country, on our way to Florida, it would amaze us to see field after field of orange trees. The smell was awesome. Florida farmers are so important to us as they provide much of the orange, lettuce and other products. In fact, Florida Agriculture is a $87 billion industry providing food to the entire globe. Watch this video that shows the importance and impact of Florida’s Farmers. Here it is…Fresh from Florida!
