  COVID 19 has turned our booming economy into a year of lockdowns. This has caused massive damage to businesses and workers. Unemployment numbers have skyrocketed, and many Americans need either a boost for their business or another source of income. This is where influencer marketing or becoming an influencer can help. Influencer marketing is a less expensive form of marketing using people with large followings on blogs, YouTube,  TikTok, social media, etc. to promote relevant products.  It isn't hard to become an influencer if you know how.  I have written an article on how becoming a faith-based influencer can bring in an extra income.

Even more annoying are the ones that promise a blessing or curse if I do or don't forward them. Chain emails and messages are a nuisance.  They clog Messenger and show "You've got mail" when you really just have spam.

Forwarded messages are often a ...

Visit Christian Activities Network At Christian Activities, we have been busy creating Christian social networks where our friends can network and share information about Christian music and family-friendly entertainment. If you belong to any of these networks, please join us! Networks don't work without people! Most networks are wide open to anyone and everyone. As Christians, we are often exposed to things we really don't want to see. That's why our on Ning is being set up for Christian entertainers, authors, musicians, and other personalities who believe in the statements in the Nicene Creed (found on each page of the network). I think Ning has the potential to be the best, most interactive network so far. However, other networks offer other opportunities, and Christian Activities is taking advantage of several.
