As I sit here in the morning watching my Bloomberg live TV online, I realize that I am not alone: so I decided to research the updated numbers: so I looked at some 13f filings, and found that Buffet and the largest media stockholders are reducing their holding in traditional media, and increasing steaks in non-traditional media, so I did some Google searches:

Life is a never ending lesson in humility: DOGS ARE BORN WITH THESE NATURAL GENETIC TRAITS:
Character
loyalty,
love,
honesty,
authenticity, or genuineness
fierce courage: they protect their own
All automatic for a dog, yet so rare in humans. Here is why:
We are humbled coming into the world, small, weak, helpless, at the mercy of our surroundings.
As we grow, we develop more and more influence over our surroundings ( something a dog cannot do)
As our power grows, it expands faster than our maturity, faster than our humility. We are proud of the power that we have from of our parents hard work, and the gift of being human and alive.
When we are young we think we know so much more than our parents, they are so old, and fussy and outdated.
We are modern, young, quick, unencumbered – what a bummer to be them.
Then something does not work out as we planned, and the first chink appears in our armor, perhaps we are not completely perfect.
We dust ourselves off, get back up, and go back to work, beginning to establish what a dog is born with, consistency and character, singleness of purpose.
We get to feeling really good again, get a little cocky..then: BLAM, something really bad, irreparable happens: now we are angry and depressed.
Then we are inspired by someone who has done more with less, and we get up again, and get back to work, humbled now that we are obviously not perfect nor better than anybody else.
The next challenge, we are ready: with confidence, and character, and a knowledge that we can face the future.
My top salesperson at the time, Steve Morris, who had left Realtor.com and come to work with me, said:
You have to see this Israel: every year at the National association of Realtors there is a wide open free-for-all! You have to raise your prices! You have never seen so much money changing hands in your life!
The course of the next few years would change my life. The owner of a giant Vista-print Printing in Portland (I was living in Eugene, Oregon at the time) Steve, wanted to expand from printing mainly real estate printing to doing all forms of online printing and we told him what to do and helped him rank line one number one for online printing – probably long since retired. RISMedia.com’s John Feathers ton and Darryl McPherson became my clients for years -we moved RISMedia.com into WordPress – look at them copying me with their new “content producers network” LOL – some things never change- and we did over 4 million dollars in business with Realtors and we attended many leadership conferences, CEO summits and Power Broker dinners in those years, as many of you know.
In retro-spec, it amazes me how much has changed, and, in some ways, that I am still standing after it all!
How many jobs have moved overseas? How many good American companies have gone public, then subsequently sold out to foreign interests, exporting the jobs.
Steve had two of these gigantic presses that printed and shipped without humans when I met him.
Because he owns an Uplog.org blog, I believe I can make him come up under ‘online printing cheaper than vistaprint‘ with this ad – LMAO lets – see shall we?!
Every business or professional, or individual talent, or anyone else with a reputation that feeds them needs to have a social presence.
This should consist of, and should originate from, an automated website, what some would call a blog, where the content is optimized, relevant, regularly updated, growing, dynamic.
This resource should be updated at least weekly, creating a pattern of constant improvement, pinging the search engines..
These updates (contextually specific to target the intended audience) should the be shared on at least two or three profiles (linked-in, Google+, Facebook), and blogged to groups at linkedin.com, activerain.com, Realtown.com, associatedcontent.com, Uplog.org and/or other sites where contextual links can be built linking back to, and feeding traffic to the original blog from contextually correct category and profile pages, and reaching the intended audience with text, video, audio and/or graphics.
This constant posting weekly, and then bookmarking the quality posts and videos; optimizing them for search rankings; and spreading them around will cause ever-increasing traffic and rankings.
These standards will clearly manage a company or a personal online reputation sustainably and indefinitely.
Pricing and fee Splits: we have setup the following standards:
We feel that the minimum price for such a service should be $100 per month, with a 3 month commitment in order to see real results, and that will sell, and it is selling at uplog.org for the last year.
We feel that the people selling, ordering up, writing, producing and project managing the work should get a total of 50-60% of the actual advertising dollars spent.
This leaves 10% for the agency to maintain our infrastructure and the ever-increasing ROAR of all of US, and 30% perform the actual production work (graphs, software setup and maintenance, ad placements in the bullets, free ads categories and maps, etc..) and promote the team at upLog.org
Because of our size and growth, and ‘the network effect’, the value of the advertising we sell is constantly increasing creating long term clients as the network grows.
We feel that bloggers should be exclusive to their clients, just like a hit man, or a lawyer, conflicts of interests are not ethical. We are exclusive to our bloggers.
With these splits, we see bloggers charging between this $100/ month to $1000 depending on the size of the project and time commitment, and the existing social media power of the professional blogger his or herself (there are many of us who are very powerful already – outdoing traditional SEO methods, rendering them useless). Obviously a blogger video blogging the fashion scene in new York City may need to have only 10 or twelve large clients to do the job, requiring and justification of the higher price because of the audience and overhead.
Legitimate professional blogging for a living:
“We believe, at upLog.org, that a meritocracy of independents working with a system of fees and splits is needed to organize a disorganized market.”
Blogging is becoming main-stream and necessary to maintain company branding and reputation, and it is an ever increasing form of advertising that creates higher and higher returns, with a fixed cost – in fact, for more and more of us, it is our only marketing. At the same time, the audience for the content itself is increasing. A blog on Blogger or WordPress or other free blogs will not achieve search rankings; but a WordPress website or other optimized and growing destination website fed by a blog and profiles in this way, where everybody has skin in the game and a reason to take blogging seriously, will create stellar SEO immediately for almost any search, huge qualified traffic, and sales.
A wanted and needed service:
A blogger with an UpLog.org blog ($179 per year) can create instant search rankings and traffic from the roar of all of us for any client, by simply posting weekly and spreading the post around to optimized profiles, which we think they should get at least $60 month for. Some people who are are prolific writers like myself can make great money just posting. 30% of the money is set aside for sales/posting, two things that we think go together. (IE: The actual blogger must know and be accountable to the client, must know and understand the intended market, and must understand how to use our tools properly to achieve a result for the client. ) Ongoing training must be part of the standard in a market that moves this fast, which we do provide.
A way to get started with low entry costs for the right motivated people:
We provide hosting with c-panel and Fantastico and we think all hosting should have these programs.
Email and Voice Campaigns – newsletters and alerts automated, building an audience intentionally:
We believe that most companies should also have an ever growing email and/or voice campaign to numbers and emails scraped on-going constantly building the size of the opt-in list – this is not spam: it is I-CAN compatible opt-in email like the Web Pro News. We charge $500 to setup and host such a list for one year, and $500 month to promote and build it – we do this, optionally form my list server israelrothman.com – all the mail gets read! Our one year old list is now 111,000 and only one opt-out from the 9th edition of our newsletter!
An uplog.org community news blogger or free ads blogger could feed any number of client business from one niche blog, with nothing but a $179 uplog.org blog that ranks every post in organic search, and a knowledge of the topic, if used properly.
We are training a huge team of very talented people from all over the world, all walks of life, to do what we do for a living: blogging.
My checklist for 2012:
Start writing the 2012 Rothman guide to Social Media Marketing
Get the existing 140 bloggers at uplog.org and the 1300 members to realize what I have done right in front of them (2011 Guide) and that they can do it too. Recruit, train, add, one at a time, 1000 city bloggers and 50 state managers at uplog.org
Get people to understand the value at upLog.org to have an exclusive as one of our team for only $179.00, your own captive audience and niche or location.
Completely write, rewrite, break down our process into a step by step business opportunity that anyone with a brain can take advantage of anywhere in the world; put any client on top of Google for any search, dominate the social networks on behalf of a client, manage a client reputation
Pursue ISO9001 Certification to the 2008 Standard – something that nobody has done there is a lot of money on the table.
Raise more money to invest in advertising upLog.org and making it grow faster and feeding it’s clientele.
Sell through our team over $,1000,000 in full service advertising at $100 or more per month to local and niche companies who need to manage their reputation and get up to speed online
Get our multilevel bloggers to realize that if they put their efforts totally into uplog.org, they would make more money for their time, and have a legitimate business and reputation that they can be proud of with a future, instead of driving off all their friends with one multilevel rip -off bubble after another!
Make you consider this special offer: buy an uplog.org exclusive for $179 by this Friday, get a $120 per year virtual server hosting account for free for one year to put your destination website(s) on:
Start getting ready to go public.
That is my list, but I am sure I missed something, your thoughts?
Hooks Industrial Quality Pumps Centrifugal Pumps and Pump Parts Global Reputation Management ISO9001
We will be seeing more large clients like this with ISO: this is Global Reputation Management – this initial step involves a blog, a website, and some search rankings, the next will be to manage ten slots on Google for the company name: ISO 9001:2008 Certified Manufacturer of Centrifugal Pumps
It is amazing how quickly this has happened at Google+. I not only invited my 100,000 contacts within minutes of creating my profile:
I am already having strangers adding me daily, between LinkedIn and Google+ it is more warm leads than I can follow!
If you consider that you can through a rock and hit ten starving web designers almost anywhere in the world, and that we have built http://UpLog.org from scratch profitably during the recession, you have to examine what I am doing for a lead generation model: I post in my blog, and share and bookmark it, that is all: and the leads just come in:
We will now have meetings every Monday at 6:00 am and 9:00 am – the first half is guests muted for me to train you – the second half hour is collaboration for us to introduce and help each other as a team of professionals.
I just love these pictures from our Duane Foster: they are a perfect example of how a very cool personal interest can be good content and good marketing…
Duane is our regional editor and manager for Canada – he is mining true internet gold and creating true Internet real estate, buying and selling real real estate and gaining great exposure to the rest of the world for his clients, and living his dream all at the same time.
We also have a National sponsor for Canada, Marjorie McKay, who you wil also here more and more about as she expands out her plans to offer virtual desks in the sky to real estate agents in modern Canada:
We are redoing a website for her here and developing a new real estate template for displaying listing information, for her ten and more uplog.org blogs to be built in Canada, one for each agent! Her message and links will be on every page of upLog.org, feeding Canadian real estate to the US Market! Canada is changing..real estate is changing, the rush is on!
In the last gold rush, the ones who got rich were the bar and brothel owners, the smelters, and the ones who sold the picks and shovels!
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

This was not exactly what I was looking for LOL…but it brings up a good point:
This is very different from the way I perceived this scene in my mind the first time. Since every one of us perceives things differently, we each live in a completely different reality: and, to a certain extent, reality is affected by suggestion and perception. Proof:
With one notable exception (Beam me up, Scotti), everything that was imagined and was dazzling in the original Star Trek series has come about.
Now that distribution is automatic,
and everybody can have a voice (the Internet)
and we can actually keep it all straight and keep up with relationships with that many people: IE:Social Media (Google+ - really!)
we have no more excuses!
Everything you do or say or think is being recorded, including the fact that you are here reading this right now!
Oooops!
That wasn’t exactly what you were looking for either; but you got it , didn’t ya ?!
There is more than one way to deliver a message!
Class dismissed!
PS: We resume on Monday morning: 6:00 AM, or 9:00 AM PDT whichever:
If you want to know how many pages are in the Google primary (searchable) database for your website: type in site:your domain into the Google search box: 9 months old, UpLog.org has 29,500 pages. You can become the local version of upLog.org easily, quickly, at a profit: and you can have your business or advertising message on many thousands of searchable pages of real content:
Featured: http://blogband.com/ is building out their maps of all the local music scenes!
If you have friends or family who want to expose themselves as professional musicians, is for them!
New offerings:
Affiliates Program Revenue Model
How to cash-flow a Community Blog and provide a value to advertisers? This entire living guide is on that topic: to be specific, a community blog can now become what the local newspaper once was, when per-column-inch pricing applied to classified ads (which are now free, on Craigslist). The sources of advertising revenue to support such an effort can be:
Local advertisers, sponsoring local classified ads, local attractions and maps and resources, a local category or a local page or map
Affiliate links for, for instance: vitamins for sale – everybody uses supplements if they want to be healthy and live long – because of high retail markups, short shelf lives, low shipping weights, and formerly high profit margins, vitamins make an excellent thing to sell on a website – our client LifeSource Vitamins (http://vitamins.uplog.org/) offers 15% for click through (http://vitamins.uplog.org/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/affiliates/register.php) that purchase from these banners: click troughs load a cookie:
http://vitamins.uplog.org/
As you can see, if the affiliates program has our UpLog.org add-ins at UpLog.org; or if it is an UpLog.org clone, then the affiliates are able to add themselves to our site and onto Google’s maps on the way in themselves, optimized for location, location, and location! This is perfect for a large real estate company or manufacturing company, political action committee with many users, non-profits for fundraisers…that wants to retain agents, members, exit traffic, constituents or just get organic traffic; and get many listings, links, and bookmarks on Google, Google maps, Google organic search, and all done by the users!
Since everyone needs websites, blogs, advertising, marketing, CRM, followup, newsletters, feeds, pod-casts, vitamins, nutrition, weight loss, social media, reputation management – these are all items that work well to build revenue around a community blog: and, if it is an upLog.org blog, it starts out with the roar of all of US!
We can create and market your affiliate program through our network and over 100,000 opt-in list and our over 1,000,000 person audience for $500.00 – and that includes yourUpLog.org Blog – a $179 value – included!
Our maps are Google’s maps, one in the same: so, do when you get on our map, you also get onto Google’s map, and that is also true for any local advertisers that you sell advertising to on your maps or any other upLog.org maps. Maps advertising pays 30% to the UpLog.org affiliate who owns the map, 30% to the selling agent, 30% to the map team to enhance and advertise the maps.
All geographically exclusive upLog.org blogs get a map, (that is right, it is included free of charge!) and/or anyone can also buy a spot on the maps as advertising:
2000 years ago, the detailed description of the book of life where everything anyone had ever done would be recorded for a ‘day of reckoning’ was exactly right on the money: in fact, we as humans are in the process of doing that forensically ourselves.
Whether you are in the camp that believes this was the recording of a divine vision, or the camp that wonders if maybe somebody actually knew back then that our technology would get here someday, or both: that has to make you think: when you click down zooming into the map above (go ahead, try it!) you will see the limitless space for more information, trillions of more bookmarks, lifetimes and souls! Let me bless you with my gift: the gift of vision:
All the limitless space you see above is a missed opportunity. >>>read more here>>>
Please join us once as our just at our weekly training and collaboration meetings – ask someone who has been there, they are not boring!
We will now have meetings every Monday at 6:00 am and 9:00 am – the first half is guests muted for me to train you – the second half hour is collaboration for us to introduce and help each other as a team of professionals.
