Computer Spinach For An Old School Fool

Now,  there is  Chicagoland Business Blog, Twitter, Google, Facebook, Ebay, Aol, Yahoo, and many other websites in my life now. It  is  a continual chore for an old school fool like me to figure out the basic computer technology absolutely involved in all the skills I must learn to effectively do my job .

I once thought I could bail out by having someone else do all the heavy lifting involved in computers relative to emailing,  links, listing, editing, posting, designing,  and all the other crap I must do to try and exist in this new world of technology.

All I want to do is call people and sell advertising. But that cannot be done anymore. Every dime made is attached to this computer. I just don’t know if I can ever get it. If I were just more capable, or had better aptitude with technical things life would be easier.  Sell, sell, sell used to be enough until the world went speeding by me with computers and more computers.

So, I don’t try to fight the inevitable anymore as I sit here typing with my same two fingers. I have surrendered to the torture of continually doing computer things that do not come naturally to me.  I will eventually transfer this rough draft to a word document by copying and pasting so I can spell check this column. That’s actually progress. A while ago I did not know how to do almost anything with a computer.

I am still like a person who can only drive forward because I do not know how to back up. What pain I am in no matter what support others will give me. It’s embarassing to ask the same computer questions to others over and over. But, to get the traffic up on this site I need to use all those different sites I mentioned and I need to know a whole lot more.

I have actually had a good time listing sports T shirts, sweatshirts, CDs, and other stuff on my eBay site this weekend.. I am really not proficient there either but I am capable enough to photograph and list my items so it’s fun.

So, by the way you can see what I am seliing by clicking

I am seller cashguy1111 with a 100% feedback rating and a satisfaction or money back guarantee policy. I can maybe at least draw some traffic to my ebay site this weekend of freezing weather in Chicago and make a few dollars as I sit here and grind away..

Meanwhile, I will now go put this mess of words on a document, edit it, and paste it back here later. Then, I need to post this column on Tweeter, Facebook,Google, and Yahoo so some of you out there will see it. Anyone else would have an easy time understanding and doing all of that. To me , it’s eating computer spinach.

Happy, Healthy New Year to all of you and yours.

Internet Newspaper Investor Needed Now

Want To Invest In An Internet Newspaper?

Here is the start of another long holiday period of down time. Christmas thru New Years is what many people wait for all year with good reason. Wonderful celebrations, family and friends enjoying each other, fun with the children, food, drink, plenty of time to share love. . Uncles, cousins, brothers, sister’s boyfriends, girlfriends, dogs and cats. Everyone in one big festive mood every year at this time. I remember enjoying these holiday times too. That’s over. Now, it all sucks for me.
No money has done that in large part. So, instead of being happy tonight I am just pissed and frustrated. This year has been a terrible one with devastating personal economic consequences. No party, party, party for me. I am just sitting here alone wondering how I will ever make this internet newspaper succeed. . It could be worse I know. My health is good as is the health of my grown family. But my pocketbook and bank accounts are depleted. Also, hope is fading because this internet newspaper is in major need of funding and support. Without that funding this great idea will not make it long term.
Too bad. It has unbelievable potential. Almost anyone running an ad in Chicagoland and actually the whole country could be successful advertising here. I am a tremendously talented old school ad salesman. I can get almost anyone to buy if they will just get into seeing what this is all about. But it’s a hard, hard job for one man. I cannot reach people and get them to check it out. They are too busy, distracted, and ultimately I lose many sales because taking the steps to make a proper evaluation is so tedious that most buyers just don’t care to get into the process.
So I call and call and try to get ad buyers to recognize my diamond in the rough. The entire process of calling buyers all day long, many who have no internet experience is like climbing a mountain barefoot Selling space in a new advertising publication is like pulling an elephants tooth with your bare hands. Of those who take the time to look I have an amazing rate of success. Count the ads you see in CBB which is only about 6 months old. It is all me and my one capable assistant who only edits and monitors the site.
So, I need much more traffic, more content, more writing, and more salespeople. More, more, and more of everything. I am ready to tip over. I’m so tired of Twittering, Facebooking, advertising in Craig’s list, sending emails, calling, calling and calling prospective advertisers who are almost ready to close a deal but just cannot sit still long enough to finish a deal. They like Chicagoland Business Blog but have every reason in the world why they cannot take the time close their deal now. Ok. I’m desperate but not defeated. But, the clock is running. Anyone hear me?

World Class Sports Memorabilia Is Being Sold To Benefit Teens

A sports memorabilia collection, a shared passion of a father and son in Nederland Colorado, valued at an estimated $100,000 has been donated to TEENS Inc. and is now being sold at auction.

David Shortridge, 73, well known for his philanthropy, gave his late son’s collection of rare and valuable sports memorabilia to the nonprofit organization that runs an alternative high school for troubled youth and provides recreation and leadership opportunities for Nederland teens.

“I am so pleased that my son’s collection is in the hands of these teens,” Shortridge said. “I couldn’t think of a better place to put it.”

“We started this collection together,” the Shortridge said, “… and it brought us together”. After his son died last summer from liver failure at age 51; David Shortridge donated the entire collection to the David H. Shortridge II Memorial Fund, and it was used to fund community-based projects in Nederland. Now the entire collection is in the hands of the teens.

The father and son team spent countless hours, and just as many dollars, canvassing online auctions and memorabilia dealers to find only the best — and rarest — of sports collectibles across the world. Within a decade, the pair had amassed a collection of rarities such as one of the world’s only perfect-condition set of 1989 Score trading cards, a complete set of John Elway cards — including one of only a handful of perfect condition Elway rookie cards and a little-known rookie card from 1981 when Elway played minor-league baseball — and autographs of sports legends such as Michael Jordan and Joe DiMaggio. There are thousands of other autographed pictures, complete with certificates of authenticity, along with signed baseballs, basketballs, footballs, hockey sticks and knick knacks.

Some of the collection has been sold already at the Nederland Holiday Mountain Market, a local arts and crafts festival. Offered items included include 1,000 vintage team caps, hundreds of autographed pictures and hundreds of less-than-perfect graded trading cards. Hats and trading cards were priced at $5 each — some of which would normally sell for up to $50 apiece — while autographs sold for a few dollars more than the original purchase price. Some buyers got great deals, according to Shortridge. Everyone who purchased an item during the sale was entered into a drawing to win an autographed photo of Michael Jordan.

But the big-ticket and especially rare items have been set aside and will be auctioned off online in a virtual eBay store being set up and managed by Nederland teens. All proceeds of both sales will benefit TEENS Inc. Some of those one-of-a-kind items could fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction, including original artwork for trading card packs and original autographs used as templates by trading card companies. There’s even the original artwork used in the mid-1980s to package Michael Jackson trading cards, which Shortridge suspects has skyrocketed in value since the singer’s death.
