And no matter what business venture you invest in, make sure to ALWAYS think of your customers needs first. Find a niche market and milk it like a cow! I find that success lies within filling a void or offering a service that improves the life of others. When you do this, you can make a residual income based on the fact that people will continuously need your service or product. Build good connections… I haven’t paid for an oil change, concert tickets, eye exams, and a host of other things for YEARS based on the connections that I have with certain clients. It’s good to have shit done for you just because they like you! @Wendy

Your quote was the inspiration fo the piece. It just so happened that I had some great information from Rakia Clark, so it all came together just right. Wow, sex toys, eh? And I thought cosmetics were recession-proof. At least that's what my friend, the Mary Kay salesbabe keeps telling me. In addition to good freelancing advice, Rakia Clark also told me that authors today need to show that they have a substantial online presence (not just the perfunctory web site). This presence includes blogging, linking your blog to others and having their owners do the same, and guest blogging. Someone in publishing has finally discovered what we all knew already about the power of the blog. @The Hooker Chronicles, the honor is all mine. Your quote was the inspiration fo the piece.

Your quote was the inspiration I needed to fire this piece up. Wow! Sex toys, huh? And I thought cosmetics was recession-proof, as my friend the Mary Kay salesbabe constantly tells me. I might holla at ya offline. LOL! About blogging, Rakia Clark says that authors today seeking a book deal need to have a substantial online presence (not just the perfunctory web site). This online presence includes both having one's own blog, linking other's blogs with that blog, and guest blogging. Someone has caught on to the power of the blog, ladies.

I had blogged in 2008 about buying the kit just to get the products, but never really had any intention on selling anything. I’m telling you… The Gods and Goddesses work in mysterious ways! @Maryann

Secondly, let me give an example of how blogging has opened up a completely different business portal for me. One of my female blog readers contacted me to host a “sex toy” demonstration class for her bachelorette party. I mentioned in a blog post a year ago that I was a distributor for Pure Romance adult parties, and the reader remembered that and contacted me to host a party for her. The party is next month, but I’m excited because this is actually the first Pure Romance party that I’m hosting. If all goes well, I’m going to host one every Saturday with live entertainment (strippers), food and beverages.
