This is a would be Poet, and his alter ego's quest. They are self publishing their works. While increasing their portions, from this treasured laden land, adding to their chests daily 24/7 365 days a year pennies from Heaven an unlimited source. Also hoping to spread their knowledge to the Lost Souls of this World, As they complete their 180 degree turn heading out of the storm, they no longer sailing these oceans blue. Donnie/Sinbad
Poetry: Tragedy Befalls Us All, and When We Least Expect It
"Child's Play"
Red light, green light, let’s stay out all night
Red rover, red rover, please send Sweet Pea on over
One, two, three, and ABC’s are you still in love with me?
Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish how many kisses do you wish?
Engine, engine, number nine, oh girl you feel so fine
Shimmy, shimmy, coco pop I love you and I won’t stop
Jumping jacks, jumping rope, baseball cards, and comic books
Super balls and shopping mall, my darling we did it all
Five and Dime just wasting time
Picnicking, down by the lake, what’s that you say!
We are late?
Our first car, our first home, my you’re such a pretty lady
Push now! Here he, comes, now we have our son
One more time, here she comes, our little lady
Sweet Pea I love you so, you just do not know
Then all three of you upped and left me
From bumper cars, to chicks in bars
From jumping rope, to shooting up dope
It was just to much to bare
Losing all of you there
From: Water balloons and shooting the moon
To: Wishing to God; it will, all be over soon
I miss you all so, you just do not know
A thought by Sinbad the Sailor Man
Thank you for the read Donnie/ Sinbad the Sailor Man
Somebody Come and Play in "Traffic" with me. If you would like to "Join" A Growing Biz Op! Here is Your Chance to get in an Earn While You Learn to Do "The Thing" with us all here at Traffic Authority.
The Tax Season will be swinging here into full force very soon. And many of us who have been dirt poor all year long will be "Ghetto Rich" for a day or two. What will you do and what are you able to do, to better your Health and Wealth this year, and in this economy? Is there anything you can do? What have you been hoping for, looking for, or even praying for?
We all know by now that things are looking gloomy and will be staying this way for a while. We are seeing a rise in health problems everywhere through out the world today. Why well I have said it once or twice already it is because of all the crap we are eating. There is little nutritional value in the fast food and store bought foods all which are over processed. That daily value percent on those labels, well to me they are just about as valuable as that label, if you were to eat it; in my opinion.
Remember the old food pyramid, well do a search at Google today and see if you can find it, I couldn't. But I found many versions of It. Of course I was a child of the sixties and seventies where and when people still knew how to do things for themselves. Like collect eggs, and process their own meats, and baking bread or making their own pastas and spaghetti sauces daily. As well as canning and home made fresh bake goods that out shown these factsimlities of today. Oh the good old days when milk was delivered from the dairy in glass by the milk man.
Real food, from real cows, and chickens. Who were healthier then todays second stringers some of which are medicated beyond repair. Why is there a need of medication? Folks if you ever seen how your food was raised you would lose weight very quickly. We have been done in by are own daily need of supply and demand and the greed of some to profit from our wants instead of our needs.
Well we could all sit around and point fingers here and there and at whomever or whatever, but the reality is we need nutrition and we need it in a liquid form. For this form is the one which is the easiest and the fastest to assimilate or for our bodies to digest and use. We all know this deep down for we all are victims of malnutrition. And we silently go along with it.
If the Government needs a bailout here it is. They need to put heavy very heavy laws and legislation on the pharmaceuticals and start growing and processing real foods again. They need to rethink the preservatives and additives. And do away with 98 percent of them. Put people on notice of all the added salt and sugars added to all our Fast foods which they use to perverse them (their Customers). We know what and who they are too don't we? Today it is almost everything and everybody this is why we suffer from obesity, cancers, and malnutrition as well as diabetes and seizures. We are Hooked like "Crack Heads" on our poor diets and low nutritional valued foods.
Did you know that the nation "Our Nation" has a problem with pharmaceuticals in the water supply! Stop flushing medicines down the toilets! The water companies can't filter them out. These drugs were designed to be small so small that they could be digested and they are to small for the water purification systems that are in place and for the older ones which are now out dated. We are being poisoned by are own use of drugs that come out of our bodies and that we flush down the drains. If God did not make it you better be sure to know that your doctor for a fact would take it! Before you do.
So there are a few of these products out there today that supply the body with liquid nutrients. And some of these offer a chance to earn an extra income by promoting them. I use Vemma and I would suggest that you check them out. I have notice a big difference in my health already and within just under a month and I soon will be working on improving my wealth with this product also.
Our health is our greatest wealth, without it the quality of life drops significantly for all of us as a whole. I believe that I am receiving better nutrition because I feel so much better all the way around.
We will soon becoming into the season of flus and coughs all over again we get sick because we are malnourished. And this product helps significantly with getting a body nourished. Check out my website to find some simple passive income streams ideals that may help you earn some residual income and then check out my other website a new one with Vemma. Check into this product and its opportunities.
VEMMA: is actually an acronym for Vitamins, Essential Minerals, Mangosteen and Aloe.
Use that Tax check refund wisely and take a chance on some health or even some wealth. God Bless and be safe out there. Eat the best food that you can afford, drink the cleanest water, not the clearest, but the cleanest water that you can.
View the world through your customers eyes. This is both critical and highly challenging. Where are they? Who are they?
Why are they even interested in you and/ or your Brand?
What are they thinking and is it aligned with yours? Which direction are they heading? Which direction is available to them through you and your Brand's visions and/or missions?
You need to define and understand these segments which make up these your customers mind sets as they will steer them on and off your course.
As Humans we mostly choose to follow the heard. For to separate from it; we then become fearful and for good cause. There is safety in numbers as well as instantaneous death when one is alone in the jungle of life.
You need to now your competition, as well as you know your self; if at all possible know them better.
Some of the strategies consist of Consumer Research, competitive/ channel research, Data Bases, Analysis, Customer segments, ie. Age, Race, Sex, Locations, Desires, Wants, Needs, Beliefs.
Your market positioning, and your ability to move within and without these positions.
Your Brand development plan.
Knowing Its/ your strengths and weaknesses. Your products, and their life spans and/or flexibility/ purpose.
How to expand your Brand / and how to license your brand.
Intelligent and Purposeful Design
Your, every communication, transaction, and public viewing and/or statement.
Now has become a testimony to you and your brand. Branding ones self can be a detrimental thing; "IF" care is not taken; and then maintained.
Damage control will be needed from time to time. As people, we tend to forget easily the good that you may have done, but will strive to high-light, and to note, and publicize the mistakes and blunders that you will inadvertently, make.
Always they will do this because we all make them (blunders and mistakes)
And we all tend to point fingers at everyone except ourselves. But note: when we do we have three fingers pointing right back at us. You need an Identity; preferably a corporate one which is professionally maintained.
Your design, will need to be of an interactive nature. Not only of a retail nature, but of an environmental one; as of yesterday we are vastly becoming a green society. Be highly visible and some what transparent.
Have you clear Sales and Marketing Strategies and Return Policies in place? Be clear; be very clear with your communications.
You cannot! I'll repeat this, you cannot do this alone! Or even within an individual world wide company. You will need to have joint venture partners and colleges.
The Demand for the Brand
Knowing this is half of your battle plan. Getting from point A to point B is not always a direct and straight path forward there is a lot of back peddling, side stepping, as well as some bowing out. There will be detours along the way.
There Are Always; Detours / Obstacles
After all it is the survival of the fittest, in this our world that we live in today.
It Has Always Been This Way!
Why do you think our Governments have let us become and keep us all so fat and/ or needy?
Depending always on them or looking to them for guidance or help. We are out of shape all of us in some way or another here in America today; as well as all the rest of "Us" the worlds peoples'; or should I say sheepfolds.
The Wolves Have Fatten Us Up and Have Been Picking Us Off One by One Daily
And we are none the wiser. United we stand, and divided we shall fall. So we too must have a Market Plan and develop our own campaigns, our own strategies, our own promotions and have the ability and the know how; to advertise to the masses.
Today This Is Done With Digital and Socialized Media
Which lead us all; around by our noses, our bellies, and/ or our lusts.
For we are all so Vain that we think everything is about us the individual.
Will They Miss You When You are Gone?
Is what It is that you give, providing, or preparing them, with any real value to/for them?
It Must Be So or you are wasting your Time and we all have just so little of It! (Time)
After we first realize that our time is limited.
Will your customers feel the loss of your products, services, and Ideology if your were to go belie up today, tomorrow, or in the near future?
Let's face It some of us are chained to our Favorite Brands and would rather do without them, then try to use another. I know I am! I stand by my favorite Brands and their reputations and their track records.
Don't get me wrong if they fail too often; and do it continuously, their gone! But that doesn't mean I will instantly find a replacement for them. After all there is only One Coke and One Pepsi and I like certain Condiments over the others, hands down.
A Certain Mustard, Ketchup, Salad Dressing, or Cheese
And if I can't get them I very rarely will use another. Is this just me? I think not. We form bonds to our favorite brands. We are loyal in nature to those who are faithful and true to us. Or who have fooled us into believing they are.
Which is an ever increasingly harder thing, for them to do!(Fool us once /Shame on Us)
As we are highly mobile today, and bombarded with many, many; almost to many choices.
Today's Consumers are Becoming Better Aware of Their Choices!
And they are making them better, smarter, (more aware of) and faster then ever before.
You need to be adaptable and ready to go on the fly. Approachable, and Immersed in the life styles of your customers.
You will need to become a brand builder who is statistically and action minded from point of contact; to point of sale, and then some.
Today's customer wants and desires a "Relationship" with their Brand's and their providers. And the Brands of tomorrow are starting to give this to them; today.

Somebody Come and Play in "Traffic" with me. If you would like to "Join" A Growing Biz Op! Here is Your Chance to get in an Earn While You Learn to Do "The Thing" with us all here at Traffic Authority.
Since I have been trying to become a successful affiliate marketer for a while myself now. I have been sharing what I have been learning here lately.
I am now desiring to share how I hope to become more successful, I thought it could be helpful to write about the key differences that I have seen between the Super Affiliates and struggling affiliates like myself.
If you have dabbled in affiliate marketing, but aren't making a killing yet, then you might find that some of the differences I mention below are issues you and I need to resolve first.
Super Affiliates take action towards their goals, while struggling affiliates often procrastinate, or spend too much time over educating or preparing themselves and not enough time DOING or TRYING. We are still fearful or Doubtful Still! Something we need to overcome. And most of us will remain so until our first few successes. We lack the confidence still.
Super Affiliates are usually prepared to fail and are willing to do it more often than we who are struggling at It. A Super Affiliate often times is learning from their mistakes as well as from those of others.
Rather than not making any progress at all or shrugging their shoulder as to what is going wrong and why is it happening to them. They are not "poor me babies". Where some of us are being discourage by our results; they are finding ways on understanding theirs. And on replicating the good and eliminating the negative results.
Super Affiliates re-invest their money into software, marketing, and outsourcing, and then spend what is left of their spare time on finding better partners to partner with either more Affiliate programs or people or better people to help them grow in their efforts.
Struggling affiliates tend to spend the vast majority of their money on other parts of their lives as well as the lions share of their time, and then re-invest what is left if anything is left into their on-line business. While never looking past the here and now; and into tomorrow where their futures lie.
Super Affiliates invest their time in networking with and learning from other successful people while planning for tomorrow. Whereas we who are struggling often try to work alone, or listen to the people who have a negative influence on us; the (Naysayers or the Doubting Thomas).
Family and friends who are saying it is taking you way to long or it won't or can't happen for us. And they are right! It won't if we buy into their doubts; about our dreams. It Takes as long as It takes you need to get It.
For you must get It to replicate It. Become a Rocket Man by Networking and seeking out others who can and will help you. Even if it cost you a little more then what you think it is worth at this point in time.
The correct information along with the correct steps that get you from point A to Z is worth Its weight in gold. Without It (the correct Method) It could be a long, long time, to find or to you Stumble Upon It this correct Method.
In addition a Super Affiliates tries to learn as much as possible from multiple sources through books, audio, or Special Reports and from their failures and that of those around them. This is especially important when you're not in a position where you can network with other successful Internet Marketers who have been through the ringer already! And have or are succeeding daily now today.
On another note, Super Affiliates enjoy the process of learning some even love what they are doing and you should too or you should be looking for something that will help you to love doing this. Even when they're failing they are learning from their failures.
Struggling affiliates often don't enjoy having to constantly learn new techniques, new systems, and new ideas. They don't appreciate the experience of trying and/or failing in order to learn and grow. Until that first great success. To be a Super Affiliate you must Keep on Keeping On! The learning never stops.
Most Super Affiliates understand the power of their minds state of believing in the success factors. And will do all they can not to lose their focus on developing a strong belief within themselves. Where as an untrained mind which has never tasted the sweet nectar of success struggles to believe in their chances of success. New affiliates can become derailed by negative self-talk. By focusing on what is going wrong in their lives, in the world around them as well as in their affiliate marketing efforts.
Most millionaires that I have met in person (and I have met a few) only focus on one thing at a time. They do things step by step and always in a meaningful order. It's true that most have experimented in/on many other forms and/or systems of succeeding their goals in order to find the golden one or two that work for them. They never will try to do it all themselves they have learned the art of leveraging others, outsourcing, and down right begging others to get the job done.
Struggling affiliates, though are often scattered all over the place, and even when they find a niche, a system, or an adviser that makes them money, they keep moving on to the next niche without fully maximizing their potential or getting to know a niche or the system in extreme depth. Their eyes glaze over and the money washes out their focus. “Gold Fever” it was called during the gold rush and we are in kind of a gold rush here today with affiliate Marketing Systems.
Most Super Affiliates build a strong mailing list through email captures and make regular repeat sales to the same people. Struggling affiliates often like to skip the process of building a website to gain leads and focus on direct traffic. There by missing out on the chance of repeat sales and having more marketing opportunities.
The new sell or the up sell. You do not Need a song and a dance, to keep their attentions. Great service and great advice as often as you can provide it will do this. No need to keep running in circles, trying to keep finding the new customer; they will begin to find you.
You need people to trust in your recommendations and in you. And these would be those you have service correctly and well during that first go a round. They are now in your cross hairs and ready to be re-sold too. They will want more, with every good experience and/or transaction that you make together. They are now your first target to hit on the way out to hunt for more.
Most Super Affiliate or millionaires that I know, not myself just yet, but soon I am planning on it. They make the vast majority of their money from the big competitive niches, and not from the smaller, less competitive niches. Super Affiliates are not afraid of competition, whereas many struggling affiliates are.
Super Affiliates realize that to make big money, you have to go where the big fish are. Let me make this crystal clear here. Small niches are good to learn the tools and get your feet wet or to build your confidence up. But in the long run, to make the seven figures or more on-line, you need to get very good at marketing and even better at promoting.
You will need to do this high dollar earning in one of the major niches. Where billions of dollars are being spent every year (diet/fitness, making money on-line, dating/relationships, self-help, security software, etc.).
You'll need to get a piece of that pie. Or a piece from several of those pies. They are where the dollars are; because that is where the wants and the needs are. Now this is not to say that you can't luck into a totally new market and/or a sought after niche; it is just less likely that you will.
Thank you for you time and any comments.

Guidelines for Creating Content
Titles and Headers
In general; Words in a Title or Header should be capitalized, especially the first word of the Title.
The exception to this is the small and/or common words.
These include: Common words such as; the, and, it, a, to, etc
Prepositions: on, at, by, for, with, etc
Any word that is three letters or less, unless it is a noun
*Do not end your Title with a period*
Try to use the active voice instead of the passive voice when writing headlines:
e.g. "They Watched the Movie" instead of "The Movie was Watched."
Titles and paragraph headers should be punchy, to the point, and should describe what the article is about: e.g. "How to Train Your Dog" instead of "Why Won't Ruffles Obey Me?"
Try to cut out any unnecessary words: e.g. "How to Train Your Dog" is much better than "How to Train Your Disobedient Dog to Obey Your Commands."
Choosing a Pen Name
You can choose any Pen Name you would like. However, research has shown that realistic pen names are more successful in gaining readership and increasing recognition; while they create a greater potential for maximizing your revenue. Many an Author has use one or several Pen Names. And for one reason or another.
Your pen name is the only name that appears attached to your published work and It will be the only way to claim credit for your work. Also, your pen name is the name by which you will be known to others by and by which you will be found in the search engine querries. I suggest that you choose a pen name that is either a Version of your own name, or sounds realistic.
If you decide to change your pen name, with the type of genera as to whether it is a Fictional or a Factual work. Many Authors have several Pen Names as they write on a variety of controversial Topics at which point in time that they would not have written other wise; because of their notoriety.
Tips on how to Develop a Topic
Choose a topic that you are interested in and are passionate about. When you write about a topic that invokes emotion in yourself, it shows. Your writing will flow more naturally, while your enthusiasm for the subject and will affect your readers in a positive way.
Ask Yourself if Your Topic Might be Potentially Popular
Think about your audience. While you don't have to write about celebrities and current events, you also shouldn't pick a subject that no one has heard of, unless you can deliver relevant reasons to interest and entertain your readers. Take your topic's popularity into account, and try Google Trends to help you decide.
Make Sure that You Have Enough
The subject shouldn't be so limited that you can cover all of its aspects in one paragraph, but it shouldn't be so broad that a good article won't provide enough information to cover the relevant points.
Use Good Descriptions
Descriptions should be capitalized normally and should have periods at the end of each sentence
Numbered and Bulleted Lists
The first word of each item in a numbered/bulleted list should be capitalized (like in a regular sentence)
List items that are one sentence or less should not have a period at the end
List items that contain two sentences or more should have periods at the end of each sentence
Numbers:
In Titles, Headers and Subtitles, the numbers 0-9 should be spelled out (i.e. zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine).
Numbers from 10 onwards should be written using numerals (i.e. 10, 11, 12, etc).
Serial Numbers:
Should be written using numerals, without a preceding pound (#) or noun (i.e. "My Beautiful Picture 2", and not "My Beautiful Picture #2" or "My Beautiful Story Part 2").
Miscellaneous Guidelines
Use double quotes " " instead of single quotes ' '
Target Your Article to a Specific Niche Audience
In order to write articles with a clear message, you must know for whom they are intended. While you are writing, try to form a picture in your mind of the ideal readers and imagine what they would want to discover about your topic.
Do the Research to get Your Facts Right
If your article deals mostly with basic facts that many people already know, it may seem unappealing. Dig deep into your research to find interesting and surprising facts, quotes, pictures and videos. Try Wikipedia, Youtube, Flickr, Google, Yahoo, and/or Altavista.
Get to the Point of the Article
The title and the first line of the article should catch your readers' attention. The last few lines of the article should summarize your thoughts and leave them entertained and satisfied. Make sure you keep your readers' interest by limiting your introductions and conclusions to a sentence or two.
Communicate and explain clearly to your readers what you want them to do and why you want them to do it
Your reading audience is waiting for your article to improve their lives, make their days, and give them something interesting to think about and/or discuss. Make your words and sentences strong, clear, and direct.
Keep Your Paragraphs Short
Readers on the Internet tend to ignore large batches of words in long paragraphs. Break up your writing into easily readable paragraphs.
A Good Article Should Take the Reader on a Journey
In order to do that, a quality article should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Declare your intentions in the beginning, cover the main points of the topic in the body, and draw a conclusion at the end. Don't just jump into a list without explaining why it is interesting and worth reading. You can even hint at surprising facts or quotes.
Provide Something That Your Reader will Appreciate
If you find pictures or videos that add to the value of your article, use them. If you find some interesting links to your topic, include them. If your article has connections to current events or well-known persons, discuss them.
