I am the editor of three email newsletters. I both write and find articles to publish to each. Each subscriber is given a premium bonus for signing up, and all emails comply with U.S. CAN-SPAM laws.

Here are the sites that have the newsletters:

  • Cube Escape: Entrepreneur-focused blog. The newsletter’s theme is business opportunity, entrepreneurship, and genereal business. It is published weekly.
  • BDR Gear: An online shop focused on emergency survival gear. This newsletter is more of a product announcement message, but it also pushes selected products. Reviews are also included. This newsletter is published twice a month.
  • Outdoor Survival Info: A blog about surviving and thriving in the outdoors. The newsletter acts as a compliment to the blog, offering content not published on the site. It includes articles, product reviews, and survival tips. It’s published weekly.

Opt-in newletters (as these all are), are great marketing tools — they help to foster a relationship with your customers. If you’ve been thinking of creating an email newsletter, or if the one you have now needs some work, I can help.

How to Choose a Career That’s Right For you - A Marketing Article

Choosing a career isn’t as hard as you might think. It basically boils down to you finding something that you can do for eight hours a day, five days a week. This particular thing may or may not be something you have ever done before. For example, if you have never given an hour-long deep-tissue massage, then you don’t really know if you would enjoy it as a career.

Don’t let that lack of experience stop you from jumping into a potentially great area. Here is how I recommend you explore the question of what you want to do for your career: Picture yourself doing a job day in and day out for years. How does it look? Do you seem bored or happy? Do you look at each day as a chore or is it fun and exciting?

What you don’t want to do is embark on a career simply because you think it would be cool. I made that mistake and ended up being unhappy for years. Instead, what you should do is ask yourself the questions above. And remember that just because you can do a thing doesn’t necessarily mean that you should do that thing for a career.

A job is work, but a career is something you can really get into. That’s what you should be looking for. Find out what the average day would be like for any career path you are considering. Then, take that average day and multiply it out by weeks, months and years. How does is look now? Is it something you can get into?

Finding a career that is right for you is simply a matter of finding something that you would actually like doing day in and day out, and then transforming that into a career. There’s not much out there that kills a career faster than boredom and annoyance at your daily tasks.

Remember, picture yourself doing the job day in and day out. If it feels wrong, or boring, or like a glorified chore, then you might want to just tuck it away and move on to the next potential career on your list.

In the Wrong Career? Start a New One! - Marketing Article

It’s never too late to start a new career. You’re not too old, and you’re not too busy to get your life on track and your career headed where you want to go. Many people aren’t happy with what they do, and if you’re not happy, you don’t have to take it.

Over the years I have seen people wake up and go to a job they hate. They do this as I would image a robot would – going through the day because it’s what they do, because it’s all they do. Don’t be one of those people. If you hate your job and want to do something different, then do it. It will take planning, time, dedication, and even a bit of bravery, but you can do it.

How do you take on a new career? The first and most important step is to actually make the decision to embark on a new career. That might sound like a simple thing, but it’s not. This is the stage where you make the decision to change your life and dedicate yourself to that decision. Many people talk about it, but how many do something about it?

That’s the first step. Dedicate yourself to creating a better situation for yourself. Once you do that, you will have the drive necessary to complete the rest of the process. Then you can find the right kind of training you need for whatever career you want. When you find the right training, you’ll be able to complete the training because you dedicated yourself to it.

The second step is finding the training you need. This part is tricky. What you’ll need to do, once you have decided what career to pursue, is find a school that offers what you need. This presents two potential problems. If you find the perfect school, it might mean you have to move halfway across the country to attend. On the flip side of the issue, the ideal school might be a ten minute drive away, but costs as much as your house. What you need to do is find the right balance between what you can afford, location, and quality of training. Unless you have already found a school that meets your needs, you’re going to have to spend some time researching the issue. Read all you can about your chosen career, training programs in that field, and any financial aid and scholarship programs you can find.

Getting the right training for the right career can make your life more comfortable. Imagine going to work not as a robot, but as a person. A person that likes what they do, who they work with, and who comes home feeling good at the end of the day. If you’re tired of your career, make a positive change and start a new one.
