Internet Marketing Mavens

Jamey Madonna is an Internet Entrepreneur who is not only successful, but generous, kind, and a servant to children. Jamey uses the money he earns from his Internet business to help those who need it most... abused children.

In 1996, Jamey, and his lovely wife, Katrina, took a burning desire to help abused children, and made it a reality. They bought a 1000 acre ranch and loving spent five years getting it cleaned up; transforming it into a non-profit summer camp for children who have been abused. In 2001, The Children of the Son Ranch, opened its arms to these very special campers.

What makes the Madonnas such amazing people is that they fund The Children of the Son Ranch themselves. They receive no government money; no subsidies of any kind, except for contributions made by an anonymous benefactor. And no, they were not trust-funders, looking for a way to do for others. The Madonnas are ordinary people, with extraordinary goals, who make things happen.

Most programs available for download, suggest saving to your desktop, so that you can easily find what you've just downloaded. It is just too easy to lose track of such things, if you're not paying attention, and having to search for your downloaded file later can be challenging for those who don't use a download manager. Therefore, saving downloads to your desktop is not such a bad thing.

For those who are download junkies though, this can cause a lot of clutter on the desktop. Now I know that Windows has a nifty little folder, inside the My Documents folder, for saving downloads, but as with the desktop, it can soon become over crowded. But let's get back to the desktop, which is where, I'll bet, most people save to.

Since the computer is supposed to simplify life (Yeah, right!), having a desktop full of icons, representing all sorts of different things, is not exactly what I would call simplification. So....

I once heard a saying that goes something like: There is at least one book in everyone's head, waiting to get out. I know that for me, there is more than one.

If this saying is true, what holds people back from getting that book out of their head and on paper?

What is the first thought that comes to mind when someone says the words, travel, or vacation? Images of screaming children living it up at Disney Land, white sandy beaches in the moonlight, sipping champagne on deck, while the salt air combs through your hair... Sounds about right, doesn't it.

Millions of people go on vacation each year. Some travel to domestic locations of interest, while others choose more exotic locations. Regardless of the destination, all people take vacations and travel to relax and enjoy themselves, to reward themselves for their hard work - to get away from it all...

Yet, for as many people who get to enjoy a time of leisure such as this, there are many more who just feel that they cannot afford to leave their place at the grindstone, and go gallivanting around the country-side. Vacations cost money, unless you plan to sit at home, in front of the television; who's going to
pay the bills while you're gone? The saddest part of it is that these people probably work just as hard, or harder, than those who take off to destinations unknown without concern.
