While the name is still a secret while I work out a few kinks and get ready for the launch in about three weeks.  This is the design for my new site: a video podcast featuring free tutorials on internet marketing for small businesses.   The focus will be on quick, afforable IM solutions without the need for techy knowledge.

I have the content about wrapped up for the first 4 months of tutorials (they’ll be released every other Tuesday) and I am just waiting to put the final touches on everything until after I come back from the New Media Expo this weekend.   Something tells me with all the stuff I’ll be learning there, my plan/model with this project might need to be tweaked, so I will launch it officially on either Sep. 2nd or the 9th.

Yes, it’s true…I got a new microphone, and it is sweet.  If you didn’t think my voice was baby-soft before, well you still won’t think that but my gargly, slurred, mumbled voice will now come through on a level of crispness never before experienced by human ears.

Rock on brother!  It flippin’ works!

So, if you want to hear my voice in ulta-ridiculously-sweet clarity, tune in to TeenBiz on Monday.  Word.

I was starting to submit my blog for Second Nature Snowmaking to a few directories tonight but figured I would keep track of the ones I was submitting to in order to see how long it takes to get them submitted, how many visitors and subscribers I am getting from each, and if they are showing up as backlinks in search engine results. So, here’s the list:
