Promotional Videos
The market is exploding wide open in terms of ways to promote your company online. You used to have to pay so much for access to mass media, but now you can have access with just the cost of some basic equipment like a computer and a digital camera along with some web hosting.
For example, you can easily make up a promotional video and then upload it on various video services. You can promo your business and if you add some humor in it, you might get it picked up by others. Make sure you allow others to embed the video on their sites and then you have a commercial for your business on a wide range of sites.
Pretty cool, right?

TEFL Issues That Never Go Away
I am amazed by the number of issues facing teachers and students in TEFL that never seem to go away, no matter what kind of action is taken to the contrary. It seems like the same things keep rearing their ugly heads year and year. The only thing that changes is that those who benefit from these problems keep getting richer.
Too many course providers are making too much money selling people an adventure or a career, but never quite giving the training to fulfill either of those desires. It seems as if a course is just a way to make money. Sure there is adventure in TEFL and there can be a career in TEFL, but a 4 week course can’t prepare you for either, much less both.
If you want to avoid many of the issues facing teachers, then maybe you should think of your training as graving, and make sure you make the make the mashed potatoes yoursself.
Don’t Let Them Get You Down
The best advice out there is to don’t let them get you down. There are people out there with such meaningless lives that they strive to make everyone’s life as miserable as there own. They will lie, cheat, or steal away your happiness. You might even voluntarily give up that happiness, but don’t do it. Recognize these light suckers for what they are.
Whether they are a Bob or a Richard, in fact it doesn’t matter what their name is, they are evil people who can never be happy and do not want anyone else to be happy. I, for one, have never been happier since pushing away light suckers. I learned to recognize the symptoms early on so that they couldn’t spread their poison.
Good riddance.
