New Product

And I thought I was just writing curious little dainties. Talk about writing at the speed of life!!

I haven't come right out and said it here but I'm right on the cusp of creating a new product that can get a press release or article to to the very top of a google search in less than 24 hours. In fact, 20 minutes is the fastest so far, and five hours for the full effect.

I'm still in the testing stage, making sure I understand what's happening, and concentrating on working out any kinks that may exist, but it looks VERY promising. My mentor is helping with the necessary specifics of setting up a product for sale and it should be ready by the middle of next month.

My brother John Rush, who has a website @ www.johnrush.com , saw one of my posts on facebook claiming a top search and asked if I could do the same for him. I googled John's website and his name to find out where they were on the search. His name was fifth and his website was second.

I immediately began writing a press release using my technique and published it @
www.free-press-release.com and now, on a google search of his name, he shows up 1rst, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 10th and his website in on top. Not bad.

Since I am still in the testing stage, I am offering free top page searches for anyone that asks. Just give me your website name, tell me your key words, and your name, and I will gladly elevate your name and site to the top of a search. Don't wait, do it now!!

Investing For Average Joes


Have you ever wanted to invest in the stock market but were afraid to because you thought you'd lose money? Or maybe you felt intimidated because you had no clue about how to get started, where to go, etc.? You can get a broker but they tend to be expensive and do not always manage funds the way you would like them to do.

The first thing you can do is check out www.sharebuilder.com and open an account. They don't have any minimum balances, nor do they have any inactivation fees like some of the other online trading sites. They have lots of free information about how to trade and what kind of trading you should do considering your situation.

Let's face it, everyone is different and everyone has a different situation as far as how much extra money they have. The experts say to give 10%, save 10%, and live on 80%. Unless you've been doing that already, it can take some serious changes in the way you deal with your money.

But if you are in a situation where you can save 10%, then some of that 10% should be invested in the stock market because it is a sound place to grow money. It has ups and downs, and if you sit back and let nature take it's course and don't intervene, you could lose money, like many people did by not paying attention.

Perhaps, though, you are not a sitter and you would like to jump on the band wagon and really watch your assets grow. In that case, you should subscribe to The Oxford Club Communique at www.oxfordclub.com , the place where investing is an art form. They are not brokers so they can't give advice or tell you how to trade but they can do research and make suggestions.

For a modest subscription fee, you will recieve daily emails with timely market news and information, tips and strategies on how to trade and when to sell. They have a strategy for selling that keeps you from losing too much when the market turns bear and some excellent suggestions for when the bulls are running. You'll get a monthly newsletter chock full of information on the market and what the top traders are doing. They'll even pick a few top trader brains to get idewas on what the future holds. It's truely a phenomenal package.

Since I subscribed to The Oxford Club in February, my stock portfolio is up 36%! That's only four months, and during an unstable market. If nothing changes, that would be 108% for the year. The old school ways say if you get 15% per year you are doing well; 20% and your money doubles in four years. My money appears to be on the track to double this year. That's quite a bit better than the old school.

These are my personal results and yours will likely vary but if I had bought every suggestion the Oxford Club gave, and in a timely manner, according to their records, I would be up 76%. I'm not very experienced yet but I know a good thing when I see it and I cannot thank them enough for helping me to be a better investor.

The key to doing anything is to DO IT. The longer you wait on the sidelines, the less time you have left to accomplish your goals. So are you a sitter or a jumper? If you really want to retire some day with something leftover from all your hard toil and trouble, be a jumper. Start investing in your future so that when you get there, your future will be happily waiting.

Google @ The Speed Of Life

The most amazing thing happened to me today. I got an idea that I could freelance music and/or songs on the internet but how would I do it? Who would I contact? So I thought I would google it and see. And Lo and Behold, there are many freelance song writing sites and many people that have musical projects that they would be willing to pay to get accomplished. For years, I've thought that I should freelance music and now, thanks to google, I can.

Google has become THE search engine of all search engines. According to wordtracker.com, over the last 90 days, Google is the most searched keyword on the internet. That tells me two things: one, that most people like to use google and two, they don't use google as their homepage. So maybe Google doesn't do homepages well. But they have certainly cornered the market on the search engine of choice.

They have created a search engine that is so efficient at finding what we want that the word google is now a verb used commonly in our language. Want an answer, google it. Want to know how to do someting, google it. Want to see who else has done it before, google it. If you have an idea and you would like to see if it has been thought of before, google it.

In the eartly days of the internet, in order to track down something, it was better to be broad minded and search catagories or generalizations. Not anymore. Now, if you want to find something, you should be as specific as you possibly can when you search on google and, 9 times out of 10, you will get a list of websites. If you don't get a list, then you know that the thing you were looking for is waiting for you to introduce it to the web.

Thanks to Google's determination to be the best search engine, we now have the ability to create new products and services from just searching google to see if it has been done. There are other search engines but they don't satisfy our need for immediate answers as well as Google.com can. I cannot tell you how many times I've searched yahoo only to find that it was clueless. I finally quit trying and use Google.com exclusively for all my search needs.

So, Congratulations are in order and many thanks to Google.com for keeping up with The Speed Of Life so well that they've created a new genre of thinking, as well as changing the way ideas are formed. New products and services are generated daily because if you can't find it on Google.com, it hasn't been done yet.

Human Ipod Reaches $1 Million In College Circuit

This week's Speed Of Life Blog is about one of the top musical perfomers on the College Circuit, John Rush. For years, John has entertained students and faculty at Colleges and Universities all across America with his unique one-man band sound.

He's been called the Human Jukebox and the Human Ipod for his ability to recreate songs that sound just like the original artists. John, not only keeps up with the Speed of Life, but also with the Speed of Music, learning new songs as they become popular within the college community.

Congratulations to John Rush for realizing his dreams and continuing to keep up with The Speed Of Life. Now, read the following press release:

United States of America (Press Release) June 12, 2009 --
"The show was great! John is always great to work with, and the audience loved him," says Eddie McCracken, Director of Student Activities, Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS.

"John's performance went very well. He was great to work with. The students said that he is the best dinner time performer that they have seen in our dining hall," proclaims Amanda Townsend, CAB Director - Hobart & William Smith College, Geneva NY.

Reviews, such as the ones above, are commonplace for one of America's best College Entertainers, John Rush. For the past ten years, John has been touring colleges and universities all across America, entertaining students with his incredible musical ability. Averaging more than 200 dates per year, John Rush is making a name for himself in the college campus circuit.

With a list that covers more than 600 songs from 150 artists, John has been called a "Human Ipod" with the ability to play more than 55 hours of music upon request.source: FPRJohn Rush has a much larger sound than most solo artists.

His equipment allows him to lay down a loop upon which he can play lead and/or bass, piano, percussion, and harmonica. This allows him to sound like a whole band instead of just a solo guitarist."I do all this live," says John. "People always ask me if this is prerecorded music but it's not. I think if you go to hear live music, it should be live. I rely on my own ability to perform; the technical effects are only there to enhance what I do."

After crossing over the Million dollar mark recently, John says he owes his success to "consistently waking up with a to-do list and doing it."

With Tony Robbins and Zig Zigler as his motivators, and Mark Knopfler as his musical inspiration, John Rush appears to be on the right path to becoming one of America's finest musical entertainers.---some content taken from http://www.JohnRush.com Published at

Welcome

Welcome to The Speed Of Life Shop where shopping happens at the Speed of Life. Here, I will focus on companies and services that function in real time. Companies like Amazon.com, Sharebuilder.com, TheOxfordClub.com and others are setting industry standards and leading the way in these challenging times.

Occassionally I will rant about forms of business that can’t seem to keep up with The Speed Of Life and tend to do nothing but frustrate us. I won’t mention names but you’ll know and understand. So let’s get right to it.

If you have used the internet in the last eight years you have heard of Amazon.com. They started selling books and music to consumers online and created a standard; 2-day delivery to your door, most of the time. That standard still exists and has helped to make Amazon.com a household name.

Today, they sell everything from books to groceries, which may all be delivered to your door, usually, in two days. If they sold cold beer, we might find people never leaving the house.

In the Post-war era, there were many things that you could get delivered such as milk, eggs, bread, Charles Chips, etc. so it's not such a leap to have everything delivered to your door. Makes sense to me.

So check out Amazon.com and see all the products they offer these days. They also have a way to save on shipping that is cheaper than the gas you would burn driving to the store. Can't beat 'em so might as well join 'em.
