3951675020 abd1482720 m Use Myspace & Facebook to Promote?..yourself? Business?
Raj Promotions was started with the intent to help Djs, Bands, Musicians, Record Labels, Nightclubs, Bars, Restaurants, Cafes, Singers, Event Promoters, Fighters, Magazines, Retailers, Clothing Lines, Filmmakers, Producers etc and many others by promoting themselves in a consistent, unique and effective way. We focus on getting important messages to your customer base in a multitude of different methods. We are good at what we do and feel that we will help you increase your exposure, all the while saving your time and money.

 

It relates to their Social Network page and helping to better utilize it to promote whatever it is they are promoting. If you allow me to, I can take over just about every aspect of your social network promoting and help to make it better.

 

MYSPACE PROMOTION @ 80$ PER MONTH

 

What I will do for you:

 

1. Gather more friends for you at a fast rate. These friends will be specifically targeted. They will be friends of your friends…..and everybody else who is associated with whatever you do…..and in the part of the world that you do it. So far, I have been following through on my commitment to get at least 1,000 friends per month.

 

2. I will create really nice invites for you for every party, gig, event, promotion, etc. that is on your calendar. There will be pictures and text. This will go out to every single friend you have every time I do it. Invites can contain a slide show, club flyer, video, digital stills of location, etc.

 

3. For the people who respond, I will gather all names and create a “Word” document guest list or RSVP list. This list will then be e-mailed to whomever you choose me to forward it to on the day of your event.

 

4. I also post “bulletin” once per day regarding your upcoming events or your new release album or your product.

 

5. I will post 100 comments daily among your friend’s profile regarding you or your upcoming events or your new release album or your product or for thanks.

PROMOTING YOUR EVENT OR MUSIC IN 150 FORUMS @ 50$

 

I will post threads regarding your event or new releases or your websites in 150 djs & bands forums.

 

All Above service benefits you in a whole bunch of ways. Bands and djs love it because I’m getting them more friends and all the while I’m making sure they are properly promoting all of their events. This allows them to travel, work, rest…..whatever….. without having to worry about this aspect of their job. Some are doing this, but to be honest, most of the clients I work haven’t even considered doing any of this stuff. The owners of the venues, promoters, and fans are all impressed with the effort put into promoting the event, which creates more value for the artist and helps to get them hired again.

 

Djs, Bands, Nightclub owners, Bar owners, and Promoters really like this service because they can outsource this to me and, more often than not, I’m able to save them a lot of time and money. My rate is much lower than what you’d pay somebody working part-time for you and there’s no worker’s comp to pay. Plus, if you’re doing this yourself, then you can outsource it to me and focus on the bigger fish you have to fry. Our Price will change depending on how busy of a dj, club, restaurant, promoter or client that you are.

 

You can take all above service @ 150$ per month or you can take individual service.

 

If you are interested then email me at rajthepromoter@yahoo.com, so that we can discuss a customize plan for your promotion.

 

 

 

 

Dating on Facebook, Myspace, Match.com, Etc..

3232183460 b5fc435aeb m Dating on Facebook, Myspace, Match.com, Etc..
Five years ago, I would have said NO WAY to meeting someone on MySpace or Facebook, but these days it’s a pretty common thing.  And, since I met my fiancee on MySpace I can’t say anything negative about it. However, if you have read my other posts, you will see why you still have to follow the rules when you are meeting and dating someone you meet on the Net.

1. Talk to the person for awhile, get to know them before you ever go out with them-The bonus of meeting people on the internet is you get to actually talk to them and get to know them without having to meet them and go through all the criticisms that follow on a face to face date.  Ask them questions about their lives, what are they interested in, what do they do for work, for fun, etc.. See if your lives are even compatible. There are a lot of “players” on the internet,so be careful. Don’t get attached too quickly, because chances are they are talking to 10 other girls at the same time.

2. When you meet up with them, make sure its a public place.  Don’t go to someone’s house you don’t know. Come on guys, you have seen Dateline..  Go to a dinner, so you can talk and do more getting to know one another.  Girls, make sure to follow the rules I have posted on how to act on a first date.

3. Don’t have sex on the first date-no matter how much you think you know them, bc you have talked with them for weeks so it feels like the 10th date. Don’t do it. Girls, it will make you look easy, and guys don’t try it bc it will make you look like that is all you want.  A kiss is OK, but again, don’t even put yourself in the situation where it could happen. Don’t go to his house, your house, parking in an abandoned lot, meeting over at another one of his or your friends homes etc..

4. Do something fun and interactive, since you have already done a lot of talking on the net, go miniature golfing or bowling or if you live in Texas go to Davenbusters or play laser tag at Main Event and play games.  It will let the other person know you like to have fun and will show a good side of you. Plus it shows you can be a kid again, and men like that. Plus at Main Event for those of you in TX, or Davenbusters, its like a place for kids but you can drink as well!!! Just remember, dont drink too much!!

5.Remember my rules on what to wear, what not to talk about, how to act..etc from my blog Ask Kirsten’s First Date Rules!!

6. If you are Christian or Catholic I know for sure there are dating websites out there for just people in your religion. I’m pretty sure there is one for every other religion as well. So if you feel more comfortable going out with someone that is of your belief system, then go for that. Because off the bat you have one thing in common!!

7. Make sure you look at that persons page in detail. Make certain they aren’t just putting what they want people to think about them on their pages. For instance, on Myspace people tend to put older pics of them when they were skinnier, in better shape etc.. Also make sure the page isn’t a fake. I can’t tell you how many times girls have stolen my pics of my Myspace and gave themselves a new name, etc.. It was pretty creepy!! So watch out for that kind of stuff.  If he only has like 2 friends on their, you might want to worry. Whatever you feel, go with your gut. Its usually always right!!

If you have any additional questions, email ask kirsten at kirsten@mercenaryx.com.

If you need any more advice from me, especially detailed advice regarding dating, relationships, kids, marriage, or whatever it may be I would love to help! You can sign up by month, quarterly, annually or lifetime memberships at the bottom of the page in the middle column at www.askkirsten.com What this means is that you can ask as MANY questions as you want during that time period, and allow for around a 1-2 hour turnaround time, but I do get about 30 emails a day, so at the very latest I guarantee a 24 turnaround time, but it never ends up taking that long.  **Just a little more to explain the membership fee, for example if you buy the yearly membership you can ask me as many questions as you would like within that year.  Even if it’s 10 questions a day, it doesn’t matter, and all of the will be answered in the guarantee period. ** I look forward to all of your questions!

Happy Dating,

-Ask Kirsten

Checking your Girlfriend’s Facebook?

4828346796 3f08e91239 m Checking your Girlfriends Facebook?
My girlfriends Facebook…

I wouldn’t describe myself as overtly jealous. Well, ok I am a bit. But this is more “alpha male” natural human jealousy than “self harming lunatic”.

You see on my page, I will occasionally speak with past work colleagues, I might comment on the odd photo or join in a debate if someone has posted something more interesting than the latest picture of a shoe. Many of these might be female.However when checking my girlfriends page, I seem to note that ALL of the activity on her page is from men!

“Hunny bun, sweetie pie, sweetness, baby doll, and sexy pants” are some of the puke worthy comments I read from her male fans. I also note that there are a lot of “boys” queuing like disciples posting on the same subject.

Comparing my page then, I note that I have more than 300 female friends, yet none of them, curiously, are addressing me as Hottie face, pooh bear or pumpkin. Nor are they crashing servers leaving notes on my wall.

My first observation then is how Face book opens this whole “men and women can’t be friends debate”. My second might be that my g/f is one of those people who encourage men to feel comfortable calling her these ridiculous names. (And being honest no one wants a g/f like that)

I do have some evidence to support this observation because should I address any of my female friends which such gayness, they might either think I want sex, or have woken up retarded. You see most of my female friends wouldn’t appreciate such lecherousness nonsense and probably call the police.

Call me old fashioned but as a man, I feel a certain level of trust and respect must first be earned before using these names on a woman. For example I wouldn’t call a check out girl in Sainsbury’s “Baby”, or “Darling”; I remember once making the mistake of saying “Thanks sweetheart” to a bar tender who swiftly said “What did you call me? I’m not your sweetheart you cheesy creep”

This therefore assumes that these male friends have somehow earned this pet name status, and so I could be in point of fact looking at postings from all manner of ex boyfriends, conquests, or snog on the dance floor encounters. Nobody wants to see that.Then there is the picture issue.

My girlfriend seemingly pops out to a bar for a quiet drink, and returns armed with 90 pictures of her draped over men, 12 of her lying legs akimbo in a gutter outside Liquid, and 3 of her kissing a male friend on the penis.

Added to that the following day, her update page will be littered with 87 new male friends and I am left wondering how all this new traffic to her page has been accumulated.

This brings me neatly to the obvious debate about how women claim to prefer male friends than female friends. “Oh I think women are bitchy and I prefer men” will be the normal opening gambit. Sure, you can’t possibly find females to have anything in common with, what a silly notion, you have much more in common with men who call you “Baby”Let’s break it down and face facts:

Men only talk to women for the following reasons:

1/ So that he can mate her. Either now, or for future investment purposes.2/ So he can get advice on how to properly perform fellatio.3/ So he can mate her friend4/ So he can pretend he doesn’t want to mate her, and then mate her5/ She is a work colleague or business associate6/ He is painfully lonely and unloved

Conveniently, otherwise intelligent women will refute these statements, claim to not understand or will claim an exception to the rule. (Of course by vehemently disagreeing with these basic human facts it allows women to have hundreds of “friends” who call her “Sweet lips” thus in turn furnishing her basic human need for attention.

A female face book member might even refute the notion of attention seeking, but note the numbers of women members who have more than 200 pictures of themselves. Surely we can tell what you look like and get an idea of your lifestyle in fewer than 1200 images?In a woman’s defence there is a part of this that is not their fault, apart from their “narccistic photo upload look at me touretts” and yes, society and the universe requires a level of flirtation, everyone wants to be wanted, but Face book rather rubs this into the face of man in a highly exaggerated fashion.

So new rules have therefore been invented today:

Never on any account look at your girlfriend’s pageNever date a girl who lets the bus driver call her darlingNever date a girl who has more male FB friends than females.Never date a girl who suffers from image upload disease.Never date a girl who uses face book who has the mental age of 8

Failing to observe these new guidelines might render face book to evolve into a platform which has the ability to destroy even the strongest of relationships and your sanity.

2869793468 fcef03794a m Are Myspace and Facebook Paying you What Youre Worth?
Are you getting paid what you’re worth?FACT: Myspace and facebook are earning a FORTUNE of you and all your efforts…

So the question needs to be asked where is your cut?

Better question, how can you GET your cut? There is a way and it’s all the rage.

STOP…

If you’re looking for a get rich quick scheme or something that will pay you for doing nothing then leave now, please don’t waste your time or mine.

There is no such thing as something for nothing.However there is such a thing as give a little get a little.

One of the hottest trends in the work from home world today is without question, “Pay Per View” – free social networks that pay you to chat, make friends and blog your way to riches. An Opportunity to make money by having fun on the internet in a few hours a week and with No Investment.

Keep reading…

This is the real deal.

As you read this article you’ll soon see that there are programs out there which for good reason give people just like you, the ability have a shot at making free internet income, giving you the ability to “prove yourself.” There are also good people out there who are willing to share with you the secrets to their success in these exact programs. People like me. In articles like this.

What am I talking about?

The industry I’m referring to is called “Social Networking.” Websites like Facebook and Myspace. Right now there is a HUGE competition between these sites and sites just like them, they are competing on who can amass the greatest number of users – people like you and I. They are looking for people who are willing to use the site, making friends and inviting new friends.

Why?

To these sites: the more users = the more money they can charge the advertisers who’s ads we are looking at while were using the site.

So what the heck does this have todo with you and “you, making free money.”

Like I said, these sites are competing with each other constantly – all of who are trying to come up with the coolest add ons the best functionality etc etc. However one social network has absolutely broken all the rules.T hey have decided to actually PAY their users to use their site! How they do it is by taking a generous portion of the sales from the advertisers and pay it back to the people who are viewing the most ads and pages.

The site has all the functionality myspace does except they pay you for using it.

Now the brilliant part of this is they not only pay you on the pages you view, but as well they pay you on the page views of everyone you refer.

It is possible to make money online for free, that is no question, I do it all the time. The big question for most people is can it work for me?

It’s like making a million dollars a year – possible, but you need to know how.Right? Some would say “million a year” sounds like a scam to me. However people do it all the time. You can make money online for free, but again, you just need to know how…

If you interested in learning more about this social networking site and how you can start taking advantage of this new rage, feel free to take a look at my complete system and step by step guide on how to make this social network called Yuwie pay you.

Should Employers Use MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn to Screen Candidates and Make Hiring Decisions? Background Screening Expert Explains the Dangers to

4829265614 2db29fc80b m Should Employers Use MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn to Screen Candidates and Make Hiring Decisions? Background Screening Expert Explains the Dangers to
Social and professional networking sites have become enormously popular ways to connect with friends and colleagues. MySpaceÂ? has 73 million American users, FacebookÂ? has 36 million U.S. members and LinkedInÂ? has 17 million members.
As a result, social networking sites present a tempting source of information for employers. 60 to 70 percent of hiring managers are currently doing online background checks of prospective candidates, often before they contact them for an initial interview.
But screening candidates by reading their online profiles presents numerous legal and ethical challenges for businesses, recruiters and hiring managers.
Employers who choose to use these and other social networking sites, such as TwitterÂ?, must use care to avoid attaining and using information in a discriminatory way. They need to ensure that they are in compliance and do not break privacy laws, as well as be sure that the information obtained is accurate.
The leading social networking sites
* MySpace is a popular international social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos for teens and adults. It’s owned by Fox Interactive Media, which is owned by News Corporation.
* Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg while he was still a student at Harvard Univerity. Users can join networks organized by city, school, workplace and region to connect and interact with others. Website membership was initially only available to Harvard students, but now has more than 80 million active users worldwide.
* LinkedIn is a site mainly used for professional networking. The purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. The people in the list are called Connections. Users can invite anyone to become a connection.
Pitfalls of using social and professional networking sites to screen job candidates
Some employers may feel that they should take advantage of the “free” information that is available on these sites. Before employers use information obtained from these sites they need to consider:
Â? The use of personal information
Â? Accessibility issues
Â? Accuracy of information
Â? Privacy compliance
It is important that hiring managers not discriminate against a candidate because they included something strange on a social network website. Many candidates post indiscreet photos or share too much information about their religious and political beliefs, sexual preferences, age, marital status or unusual hobbies in their profiles. However, it’s illegal for employers to consider these factors when making their hiring decisions.
“Pretexting” is another risk to avoid. Employers should never set up a fake identity in order to join a candidate’s friends’ network and gain access to their information. In addition, it’s often difficult to determine if you’re reading the profile of the job applicant or someone else with a similar name.
The best practice is to perform an Internet search on a candidate only after a conditional job offer is made, and only if you disclose that you will be doing an online background check.
Consequences of misusing the information on social and professional networking websites include discrimination lawsuits and claims of invasion of privacy from job applicants.
A safer alternative
For an affordable, safer way to vet potential employees, it’s best to rely on a professional pre-employment screening firm. These firms offer unbiased and accurate employee information screens for:
Â? Employment
Â? Criminal Records
Â? Driving Records
Â? Drug Testing
Â? Social Security Number
Â? Worker’s Compensation
Â? Licenses & Credentials
Â? Education
Â? Credit Profile
Any information on an applicant’s background needs to be handled in a legal and confidential manner. The reality is that Human Resources or a business owner will not have the time to weed out the good from the bad information obtained through social and professional networking websites. Even if they had the time, they may not know what information is allowed under the law.
Social and professional networking websites may be useful to gain a better understanding of who the applicant is, but should not be relied upon to make a sound hiring decision.
In order to avoid privacy violation and discrimination claims, experts recommend getting the assistance of a professional and experienced employment screening firm.
