Idea Girl Consulting - Music - Movies - Entertainment - New Artists - TV Shows

Using my youtube channel idea girl consulting I've been making videos with fashion photos of celebrities, movies, bands, artists, and topics that I like blogging about.

I am a writer, I do have novels that are unpublished so I'll be having some fun with those next.

Today while I was exercising I had a wonderful idea to start some new youtube channels and start making my own little movies and stories.

I once had this idea of making easy adult reading books.  The websites didn't grab anyone's attention.

So I'm going to try a different method.

I'll do little character story lines.

It's a great way for you all to get familiar with my characters before you read the book.

It will also generate some interest in the book before it's published.

If that doesn't work, I'll come up with another idea!

Saturday - Shopping - Walking - Authors - New Books

Today I'm taking it easy.

Its Saturday and I'd rather have some fun than work.

So I went shopping, had some chinese food and now I'm back to posting stuff on my blogs.

Today I have featured new books that are on sale, best selling author interviews and fan made videos about their favorite authors.

I added a little bit of TNA on Idea Girl Consulting to keep my sports fans happy.

As you can see every week I'm changing things on my blogs.

It all has to do with different ways to entertain yourself.

So I'll have music, movies, books, crafts, fashion, activites, family , travel, tourism.

A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

To keep you amused. :)

For the funny channel head over to Witty Woman.

To find out about what I do as a writer head over to Idea Girl Consulting on Squidoo

Think Like a Champion - Donald Trump

Ive posted the book trailer on Idea Girl Consulting.

Donald Trump's Think Like a Champion is a very inspiring read.

I looked through it very quickly.

I plan to read it once I'm finished the rest of my pile of books.

I spend more time blogging and writing, then reading.

I should balance it out more!

I've posted the interview with Donald Trump on The Idea Girl Says.


It's very motivational and I love listening to it.

Idea Girl Consulting Youtube Channel is Rocking!

I never thought my Idea Girl Consulting Youtube Channel would see over 5000 hits in less than a month, but it has.

A bit of creativity can go a long way.

It's a neat and easy way to promote traffic to your blogs.

All I  did was find pictures that show what I blog about.

Add some great music.

Voila!  I have a commerical with my website addresses on it.

Then I had another brainstorm.

Instead of boring links on each site, why not post a cool picture and put the link there?

I wish Squidoo would have the add a link option in it's modules.

It would be a big improvement.

For now people have to copy and paste.

Some of my sites have gone from 1 visit per month to 200 per day!

SWEET!  Squidoo is hopping because of my youtube videos.

You can do the same, be creative, be funny, draw traffic to your blogs.

Getting Ready For New Years Eve 2009 - 2010 - Linda Randall


I still haven't made my list of goals for 2010, have you?


I did decide on what goals I want career wise, but my personal goals are still up in the air.


Where should I travel?


Will I get my USA Passport this year?


It will all depend on many things.


Money, time and whether or not I get a book published. :)


I don't plan to do any posting on New Years Eve, I'm taking some time off, but I'll be back in a few days.


Wishing all my readers a Happy New Year!

Evolution of a Sad Woman - Gale Laure - Mystery/Romance - The Idea Girl Says

Today I used Gale Laure 's Book Trailer as an example of Media , Youtube marketing. PumpUpPR on youtube made the videos.

It's a great way to increase your book sales.

I'm doing as much research as possible on the market, but it's a huge project, from a novice point of view.

I've sold millions of dollars worth of cable company products, now I will find a way to increase book sales.

It's my goal to develop a cool new marketing program for all authors to use, and to prepare my platform launch pad for my books once they are published.

In this way I will learn what works, and what doesn't.

I'm one of those people that stretches a dollar to its maximum potential.

I love freebies and I love finding things that are free to use, but add a lot of clout from a marketing perspective.

I share these golden tidbits of information here on Ideagirlconsulting Blogspot, but I write about Blogging and writing novels on The Idea Girl Says Word Press.

Witty Woman Today and Idea Girl Consulting Word Press Entertainment sites, are purely for fun and enjoyment.  A hobby and labor of love that is helping me gain readers, create a platform for myself as an author and teach others how to make good youtube videos!

I critique them and find ways to improve them in any way possible.  So far I've not gotten any negative responses back, for which I am thankful.

Sometimes I cringe, when someone begs for me to put their video on my entertainment site, but it's just not professional enough.

I have to be very tactful, encouraging and uplifting in my response. :)

2009 Goals Met for The Idea Girl Says - Idea Girl Consulting - Linda Randall

Here is another boring report, but I'm just so excited I reached 2 goals on Monday Dec 28th, 2009 by 12 midnight.

16,192 page views in one day on Idea Girl Consulting Word Press bringing the mass total to 378,978 (maybe I'll hit 400,000 soon! SWEET)

100,000 page views on The Idea Girl Says Word Press.

I did post a note on Twitter asking people to help me reach a goal of 10,000 hits in a day about 4 days ago, then it went 12,000, then 16,000.

Next weeks goal will be 20,000 hits in one day!

I hope I can keep the momentum rolling?

Last time I got all excited, they dropped down to 500 hits in one day. LOL

I'm still trying to find the right formula.

So far, it's this.

Post lots of different things that are related to your Niche, use tags, youtube videos, pictures, and let everyone on Twitter know what you are doing.

I also expanded my social networks on LINKED IN, Twitter, FACEBOOK, Groups, Yahoo Groups and I submitted some URLS to BING and visit other peoples sites, and comment with URL to blogs.
Oh yeah, and the BIG thing for me, was that Grant helped me set up a blog on The St Catharines Standard site, where I can post anything I want!

I was also invited to start writing movie reviews from some prestigious site (thats what the email says? LOL) and to guest blog for someone else.

I'm not sure I want to guest blog too much.  I've got so much on my plate already, with my new goals for 2010, to get something revised and sent to a publisher. :)

That was my strategy this week to increase my traffic to my two blogs.

After reading the book I made a bio page with my picture and the story of how I was inspired to start writing novels in 2008/2009.
I keep a list of my achievements on my Idea Girl Consulting Squidoo lens

I created my bio page on my new Chick Lit Novel site for The Calamity Girl Wordpress.

Emma Watson - Harry Potter - Youtube Audio Swap - Pretty Good Music!

I made a nice Fashion Show video of Emma Watson pictures from a site I found while searching on Google.

Emma Watson Photo Blogspot, has awesome collections pertaining to celebrity pics.

I originally uploaded the video with 50's style music from Jerry Lee Lewis, but Youtube disabled it.

So I did a Swap after listening to tunes for about an hour, all from artists I had never heard of before.

It's amazing how much music is available to use on there.

The video is posted on Idea Girl Consulting You tube.

Query Letters - Why Do I Have To Query A Literary Agent?

Query Letters - Why Do I Have To Query A Literary Agent?


I was rather proud of myself today, I'm half asleep and I was able to type a legible post about Query Letters.

You will often find that what I'm doing research on, I will share with you what I learn.

This week I did my first FINAL READING of The Calamity Girl - The Promotion Manuscript.

I was pretty happy because there were hardly any errors!

YAY ME!!!!

As London Tipton would do on The ZACK and CODY Show!

I get a kick out of that show, you should watch it sometime, it's hilarious!

So this week I'm researching the Writer's Market to see what types of genre's that Literary Agents look for.

Then I'll be cross referencing them with GOOGLE to find their blogs.

I want to get to know my Literary Agents before I start to Query them.

You want a good perspective of what's hot on the market.

If I see an agent only asking for submissions for Young Adult, I am not going to Query her.

Why?

Because my book is Chick Lit, Romance.

What is the point of sending it to an agent that doesn't handle those type of manuscripts?

I'm wasting their time and mine.

Are you paying attention to what the Literary Agent is asking for?

Or are you blindly sending out Queries, and getting rejected hundreds of times.

It is something to think about.

I'm going to advise you to set aside a day, every week to do research.

Whether it be for a setting, a character, an agent or a publisher.

Once you know what you're dealing with, you won't feel so frustrated about it all.

Where do you start?

Take a look at the Writer's Market and Guide to Literary Agents.

If your unsure of what GENRE your book is, then GOOGLE GENRE WIKIPEDIA.

Wikipedia has a run down of each GENRE and a description.

If all else fails, place it under FICTION or NON FICTION and let the Literary Agent decide for you.


Just for the record, blogger is adding spaces and cutting off my sentences when I post this?

Best Sellers - Authors, Publishers for 2009

Wall Street Journal Best Sellers list is what I started with this morning.

I found it on Google - New York Times Best Sellers.

I spent 8 hours today making it.

I just noticed the date was for November 26,2009.

I googled it again and a new list was made today!
Darn it!
I've made a list for the OLD best selling author's list. LOL

I thought it was for the full year.

Oh well, I had some enjoyment searching for Author's pictures, the publishers and the book covers of the Title's on my list.

The music portion gave me some trouble, then I had to upload it twice to youtube.

Bad Value was the error message.

This means that your Youtube title is too long.

I can't help it, I'm long winded!

Oh dear!
I need to learn to be simple again.

I go through these routines where I'll talk too much or not enough.

Do all writer's have this problem?

Some of the Author's sites were pretty amazing and similar. (You could tell who used the exact same layout - boring if you ask me)

The Author's looked so prim and proper in their pictures.

I felt like I was out of their league, sitting here with my pj's on, a housecoat and slippers.

All day I'm wearing my PJ"S because they are warm, and comfortable.

I forgot to go out for a walk today.

I didn't eat all day until supper (after 6pm) and here I am almost 3 hours later still sitting here typing on my computer.

Too bad I don't get paid for working all these hours, I'd be rich for sure!

I was supposed to do some rewriting on my novel, but forgot to do that.

I'm not feeling well, so this is what I do, I play around on the net and make things.

Today it was a movie.

I had fun, enjoyed myself so that's all that matters, right?

Wall Street Journal Top 13 Best Sellers for Hardcover Fiction - November 26, 2009

Writing - Music - Shopping - Movies

This weekend I decided to go out for a bit and have some fun.

I did some Christmas shopping at the flea markets and at the local mall.

I hope that you have started some of your christmas shopping?

I actually planned to do it after Dec 18th, because that's when all the great sales start.

Don't you just love it when the mall has midnight madness and there's a 75 % off sale on leather coats and clothing?

While you're out this weekend, be sure to check out the new release "Old Dogs" with John Travolta and Robin Williams, I've written a movie review on The Idea Girl Says.

I've also featured some cool new bands and new music to listen to on Idea Girl Consulting it's a good idea to listen to the songs while you do some writing on you're blogs or while you're surfing the internet and doing some Christmas shopping.

I also have shopping modules available in Squidoo if you're interested do a search for Linda Randall.  It will bring up my bio page and a list of the 114 websites I've created, you can get some great deals on Twilight New Moon merchandise, best selling books, dvds, music and more.

Adam Lambert Master Plan New Song Debut Album For Your Entertainment

Adam Lambert's debut album will be released on Nov 23, 2009.

Here's his new song Master Plan from that album on Idea Girl Consulting Word Press!

I love the song and I'm telling everyone to get out there and buy his new album.

Let's set the record sales for fun.

I want his sales to surpass Elvis Presley's and Michael Jackson's.

The world has the power to do it.

And were all going to do it just for fun! :)
