Shakira, Nina Simone, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Old Rock & Roll--CCR, Jefferson Starship, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, John Lennon, AC/DC,(all of them) and Even Older Rock & Roll--All time favorite Elvis. My parents loved music, I know everything from Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespe, to Jerry Lee Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, Roy Orbison you name it my parents listened to it. So I'd say, I'm well grounded when it comes to music. My children are following in my footsteps.

How
Did You Find Me??.... There
are so
many ways
to search for someone or something. You can Google, Yahoo, Twitter,
MySpace or
Facebook or maybe through a friend of a friend of a friend…
you know….the “Hey…you
gotta check this out” method..... Maybe
it was “The Secret”…Kismet…or
just by pure accident…whichever
path brought you here…..THANKS!! Thanks for stopping by to
check out my
profile..... As
an internet newbie….all those pathways are such a
mystery….I
was lost and curious when I
started..... I hope you find this site
helpful as you begin your new adventure and learn from my mistakes
making your
online business a success..... .. .. If
you are anything
like me…you
love the internet and making
money..... I’ll explain a little about
how I combined the
2 and changed my life but first let me tell you a little about myself..... .. .. Hi,
my name is Annette Ulmer and
I am the Author and Creator of:.... .. .. .. .. Wife
of 25 yrs (that’s Silver Anniversary Folks!), 45 yr old
mother
of 2 wonderful children who have an after school schedule like you
wouldn’t
believe. I’ve
done a lot in my life and
it would take pages just to tell you so check out My
Love Story
videos..... .. .. .. .. ..·
..I’ve
counted
other folks money
(bank teller).... ..·
..Printed
their stories or ad’s
(newspaper).... ..·
.. Heard stories of hardship
(collection
agent).... ..·
..Booked
exotic vacations
(travel
agent).... ..·
..Gave
beautiful homes an clearer view
(my own mini-blinds/window
cleaning business).... ..·
..Helped
undertrained/unemployed
learn the way of life of a
J.ust ..O...ver
..B...roke—where in the
end……… I was
laid
off ..and..
had the horrible
task of handing out pink
slips
to my entire staff!!
(training project director w/staff
of 9).... .. .. I
have to tell you….... .. .. .. ..They
say in management, you can’t take it personal…it
just
business. Not
true…a business is made up
of people…lives that are dedicated, loyal, uniform in the
cause…they are human
beings….not a liability. .... .. ..In
the end, we all moved on, all of them got new jobs and I still
see them today. It
was an honor to work
with them, some ask me to call them on my next job, they’d
gladly come work for
me. .... .. .. Myself…after
the layoff?? A blessing in disguise….... Being
laid off was terrifying yet really the best thing for me..... .. .. I
decided it’s time to take charge of “my
security”..... To no longer be at the mercy
of the J.O.B..... .. .. I
was tired of
living in fear!! .... Fear
that:.... ..·
..Taking
any extended earned
leave defines me as not “dedicated”.... ..·
..Putting
in more hours than required to show
I’m a “hard worker”.... ..·
..Taking
on more duties w/o a pay increase
because “everyone’s replaceable”.... ..·
..Never
to voice an opinion/suggestions relates
to not being a “team player”.... ..·
..Times
are tough/cutbacks coming “last
hired…first fired”.... .. .. So here I am
FINALLY….... .. .. ***on-the-side.... **after-hours.... **for
when I retire.... ***maybe
someday .... .. .. .... ***MY
SECURITY.... ***MY
PASSION.... ***MY
BUSINESS.... **I
AM IN CONTROL.... .... All
of this will lead to my
true calling…….... …….a
LIFETIME
PROFESSIONAL TOURIST!! J.... .. .. So
it began….... ..Journey
of
an Entrepreneur...... .. .. I
had always been a person enjoyed exploring the next new
thing….... ....I
was a Start
Your Own Small Business magazine junkie…back
then you waited for snail mail for
the quickstart
books. Money in
your mailbox! Take old
tires and turn them into rugs & sell at flea markets! Match
college
students with funding! Just to name a few….those were the
days (LOL). .... Then
late nite "infomercials"
….we'll you guessed it.....I tried…most of
them. .... ....I've
sold the "lotions
& potions", sold jewelry, been in a MLM company
when ..bankrupt ..and at one time had a brick
& mortar business.
All
in the school of hard knocks!
.... .. .. I’m
more cautious
now, or so I thought……..... .... A
dear “friend” introduces me to this awesome NEW
Innovative Network
Marketing Company! They have a secure foundation, traded on Amex,
expanding
rapidly, compensation is outstanding and its all internet based!.... Just what I was looking
for….nothing physical to store and hey…did I
mention… it’s the internet!! ..I
researched this baby inside/out..….Yeah…this
is the one..... I
bought the whole package, did
all the training (which was pretty good I have to admit), attended the
international conference, upgraded, true blue committed to this one! .... ....Followed
the rules, did what they said, began with your warm
market, approach
people, they
are waiting
for you to ask them!! Say it this way, nudge
without pressure, and
use urgency, back and forth!! Wow…this
is new! I soaked it up…so bad that I couldn’t ..stand
myself..!
.... .. ..Oh…I
forgot to tell you…MLM in SMALLTOWN USA??? Everyone
&
their brother have been sold into some MLM/Network Marketing/Next BIG
Thing and
got burned. OH…..JUST…..
GREAT!!.... .. .. ....Friends
and Family Avoidance….again.... .. .. FRUSTSRATION
** FRUSTRATION ** FRUSTRATION....
.... I
took a break….no internet…no late nite
infomercials…no next
great thing! .... .. .. THE
REASON FOR WhatIKnowNowOnline.com.... .. .. .. .. ....When
I returned to the “make-money-online” group I was
open, renewed
and ready to begin. .... ....If
you take too long of a “break” from the internet
world….it
moving….FAST…it was mind boggling… I
was completely LOST! So much jargon,
techniques, learning…..... .. .. .. .. I can laugh now...not then....but now.... .. .. All
of that changed when a Web2.0 friend of mine from that same
Network Marketing company sent me a video on how he was being CHASED
for his
business that he couldn’t keep up!.... I
thought…how could that be…I finished the same
training he did
and no one is CHASING me!.... And
get this….it didn’t cost him a dime! .... .. .. FREE
LEADS and TRAFFIC CHASING YOU!! Yeah…right.....
He
showed me how he was using MySpace, YouTube, all these social
networks and getting customers like crazy! .... ....I’m
on social networks; I’ve been using WEB 2.0…but
not the right
way..... .. .. ....There
was a contest going on and I could win the awesome opportunity
to learn from the founder—Dennis Karganilla!! One-one
coaching!!.... .. ..
THEN…it
CLICKED!! LIGHTBULB FLASHING EVERYWHERE!!.... .. ..OMG!!
This REALLY WORKS! I’m in a contest and just the few things
I’ve done are working. .... .. .. ..WHAT
IS
IT???...... ........ .. .. Forget
what you’ve been taught---warm
market, 3 ft rule, advertise, cold calling, buying leads.....
If
you want to stay in the game---you need to know what game it
is!....
As
my favorite motivator/leader, Robert Kiyosaki, reminds us of
the Industrial Age vs. Informational Age.
.... .. .. “The
rules have changed. When
change occurs there is typically
resistance. In the
last few years there
are many examples of people recognizing the opportunities that arise
during a
period of change. .... .. .. Bill
Gates became the richest man
in the world because the older men at IBM failed to see the market and
the
rules changing. The
Information Age
twenty-year-olds are buying up the Industrial Age corporations, they
are
becoming billionaires because they see the
opportunities,….Simply put, the
Information Age will bring economic changes that will dramatically
increase the
gap between the have and have-nots..... .. .. There
are
people who MAKE things happen; there are people who WATCH things
happen; and
there are people who say WHAT HAPPENED??”.... .. .. I
found someone who was living proof of this action—Dennis
Karganilla..... Dennis
has taken action
of a simple method that gurus/old school have
overlooked….using "my
story" marketing, web 2.0 and other secret strategies...that have
literally turned my businesses around. .... .. .. I
wanted to share who I am, my experience and frustrations and how
this has changed my life. .... .. ..It’s
also an opportunity to network and work with like-minded
people and newbie’s to the Information Age.
So I encourage you to check out my website and leave

YOU.... MANY

I live in a small
town
where everyone knows your biznezz! And it’s not the kind of
business I was
asking for!!! ....
My
Prior Life....
Giving 9 “families” layoff notices was the most
depressing &
difficult actions in my life. I cried for these families, my heart was
broken
and I couldn’t fix this problem. ....
Following
my passion, a passion that has always been…....
..I’M
TAKING BACK MY LIFE....
BURNED…..and BURNED OUT.....

entrepreneurs who are in the same situation just like I
was…and hopefully my
story will inspire you to discover there are still many ways to
increase/supplement/replace your current income both online/offline.....
I’m enjoying the time with my children (making up time
actually)
and ready to Pay-It-Forward with “like-minded”
persons with a proven method
that has taken virtually any business to a new level.
....
FTP,
Web2.0, Autoresponder, Blog,
Vlog, Forum, BlackHat/WhiteHat, Affiliate, JV’s, List, PPC,
Banner Ads, Domain
Name, Hosting,
SEO, Tags,….on and on
and on. ....
I spent 1,000’s/hrs online not to mention the
$1,000’s
spent…searching and learning the latest greatest new thing!
Following one guru
after the other, so many things to learn…which one. ....
Arrrrrrrrrrgh!!! ….what a NEWBIE

HOW WAS HE DOING THIS??? ....
My Lucky day!!....
I followed the contest rules…it gave a sampling of how it
works.......

is where I am today…it has been the best business decision I
have made. ....
It
not only works for MLM/Network Marketing but this technique can
be used in ..any business.......

am using Web2.0 features of MySpace and YouTube, Web2.0 for
targeted leads without spending a dime on advertising! I want to give
you FREE
ACCESS to all that I am doing.....
