So I was on a team mastermind training learning how to earn money online from online millionaires, when I was sharing my screen to explain something to one of my millionaire mind teammates, right?
Well, apparently I had some sensitive information up that I didn’t realize.
Oh no! What do I do?
Easy. Use my Camtasia 8 software.
But wait! How do I blur out the video once the recording is sent to me?
So today on a hangout with one of my business mastermind groups, we were talking about Skype features and how you can utilize it for your business, when I realized this one little tip was something a lot of people don’t know about.
So I’m sharing it with you today!
Hope you enjoyed! I love providing information on how to elp you improve different areas of your life … Whether it’s:

Just wanted to post this information for my fellow online marketers as well as for people who are looking for new ways to generate additional income and are being contacted by people like myself, but don’t believe they are receiving the Facebook message. 🙂

Have you ever been part of a blogging challenge? If not, then you should!
I’m sharing this today because tomorrow I’m joining up with a few thousand other people for another 21 day blogging challenge! And I’m hoping that what I share today, and throughout this next challenge, you’ll be inspired to start your own!
My success mentors always say, “What you focus on expands.” And it’s true!
The Law of Attraction is basically, “What you think about (and take action on ) you bring about.” And by blogging daily, with the focus on one of my passions, I saw more opportunities come about for me to share with you
Most of the time, it took me at least an hour or more to research, write the blog, and get the photos done for each post. — But that’s because of 2 things.
1 — I didn’t do my research beforehand. I’d have a general idea as to what I wanted to write about, but then I would do my research in the allotted time I outlined for myself to do all of what was needed for the blog … But this isn’t time efficient.
2 — I didn’t use the tools at my disposal! The blog you’re reading my post from is utilizing a blogging platform called Kalatu. To make the explanation short, Kalatu is THE BEST blogging platform out there! Not only does it utilize WordPress, but it also (a) allows you to market whatever you want without penalty, (b) nothing you put on the blog will ever be taken down [unless it’s illegal], (c) provides multiple ways to help spark your imagination [like providing a headline, blog templates, and more]!
If you are using your blog to have an online diary, then you probably don’t care about social media.
But if you’re an entrepreneur trying to get your business more traffic, you MUST have a blog! People only buy from you when they like you and trust you. And what better way to show someone who you are than with a blog where you share things that you’re passionate about and can attract others like you to what you do?
When you’re trying to bring in more traffic, you MUST know a thing or two about social media. Otherwise, the time you spend might be wasted. So along the process, you have to find someone who knows what they’re doing, learn from them, and take daily action to implement what you learn!
That’s one of the reasons I love one of the businesses I’m in — not only do I have a team of people who are eager to see me succeed, but who also teach me information on how to increase my earnings online AND my knowledge of social media and internet marketing! It’s a proven system that not only condenses the information you might find through Google, but also tells you what is working RIGHT NOW, not what was working 3-5 years ago or more.
If you’d like more information, be sure to click here!
Or, if you don’t want a condensed, packaged, step by step formula for utilizing social media and online marketing to learn how to make money online, then you can go the time consuming (and possibly more frustrating) of Googling and trying to learn it all on your own. [Which it can be done – I know several who did it and made bank!]
During my last challenge, the first part was simply to complete the challenge. And by doing so, I got the following badge I can proudly display on my site:
Sure, someone could be a bit uncouth and swipe it for themselves and SAY they survived the blogging challenge …. But I have the pride of knowing that I actually did it! I blogged daily for 21 days. It was rough sometimes with my schedule, but it was worth it! 🙂
What’s great is that every person who completed this challenge got this reward, too! So it wasn’t a concession prize like too many people try to offer these days to make people “feel better” or whatever. We earned this badge and proudly wave it!
Now, what I’m REALLY excited about were the other prizes that came about. For example:
— one couple who blogged together won the “Most Passionate Bloggers” award, which means that they got to have their own Kalatu design created for them … and we all get to celebrate with them and use their design!
— another blogger won “Kalatu Blogging Idol” … I think this just means they got the most votes for favorite blogger? They got something pretty nifty from that, as well!
— another set of bloggers used their blog to market one of their businesses and got a cash prize for most ALL IN sales! I mean, who does stuff like that? Awesome people, that’s who! Now results not typical and individual results vary based on your knowledge and own hard work … But that’s frickin’ awesome! And they totally earned it because they followed a system and utilized the knowledge at their fingertips!
Now, I’m not sure what they’ll be giving out this time, but I’m super stoked to find out!
As I mentioned before, the Kalatu blogging platform is phenomenal! You get stuff like:
— a plugin that gives you headline that gives you plugin suggestions
— a plugin that suggests ideas for you to blog about
— a plugin that provides a template for you to write out a blog and then formats it for you
And if that’s not enough, it also provides you with places to go to in order to get ideas like:
And if all else fails … Google is your friend!
QUICK TIP:Â When you Google something, at the bottom of the page are related words other people are looking for that are similar to what you searched for. So while you may not find the results you’re looking for, the other keywords listed just might provide you with a new list!
As I’ve said in a previous post, doing something different helps your brain! Doing something different does all kinds of good things for your brain and helps you out in other ways as well.
And if you’ve been blogging for a while, doing a challenge like this is still good for your brain! Why?
Because you begin to form a habit, for one. And for another – successful people always complete the challenges they take on. Successful people don’t. So why not take on this easy challenge, right?
You also are putting your voice out there! When you blog about what you’re passionate about, you not only provide valuable information people can search for, but you allow others to reach your corner of the internet. This in turn allows you the opportunity to provide value to people you haven’t met yet.
Maybe it’s a DIY on a neck wrap to help with neck pain … maybe it’s information on how gaming is actually beneficial for you … Maybe it’s simply information on how to earn money online … Whatever it is, blogging is an easy way to get your opinions out there in order to get your voice heard and potentially affect thousands of other people in a positive way!
Seriously! I just came back from an event for one of my businesses wherein I was FLOORED to find out how many of those there had made money by blogging … And how MUCH they made … Now, not all results are typical and individual results will vary (see average income earnings here) … But I met so many people who had replaced their incomes from blogging … And a ton of people who made some money within their first week! (I even met someone who made a few hundred in their first day!)
I even met several people who had made over $1,000,000 (that’s 1 million dollars peeps) by following a simple system, learning how to utilize social media and online marketing, and helping others do the same.
And you can, too!

Have you ever been scorned by someone online through a Facebook status? Perhaps they either didn’t change their relationship to “In a Relationship” with you or gave some lame excuse not to be somewhere and then blasted that they were having fun doing something else for the same time they cancelled their plans with you for.
How insensitive, right?
I know I’ve been victim of this myself, in some form or fashion. Like when the guy I dated for an extremely extended amount of time never changed his relationship status (until I bugged him about it for a while) and never posted any photos of us together (but did with every woman he was with after me) … At the time, it drove me nuts! (Maybe it was a clue – you think?) And when someone would punk out on plans with me, then a few hours later I would see them having a grand old time someplace else? Oh man, you can bet your britches that I was irked! And I have often thought of retaliating or calling said person out in those situations… Wouldn’t you? Of course you would! It’s only natural, right?
That’s why when I saw the YourTango video on tips for Facebook relationship etiquette I just had to share! I couldn’t help but laugh at the humorous take they had on the whole thing and how many people so often break the unwritten rules of Facebook relationship etiquette, or rather what this YourTango YouTube video calls “Facebook Manners” for responsible relationships.
The original video has been posted for your viewing pleasure, YourTango’s 5 Rules of Facebook Relationship Etiquette, as well as my suggestions for how you can avoid breaking said unwritten rules.
This seems like a given, right? But we all know that common sense isn’t so common … And some people are just cruel … Or chickens. I mean who breaks up over Facebook to avoid confrontation? Not only is it crass, but the recipient of the “break up” may never know, continue to call you and/or bug your mutual friends (if you were avoiding them after this fiasco).
The information age has made it easier to be less humane to others, and this needs to stop. Be an adult. If you’re going to be in a relationship with someone, if you decide you do not wish to be in said relationship anymore – TELL THEM! Even if it’s all tears and snot coming out of their nose when you break the news to them, it’s much better to give someone less fuel to be upset about by being personable and not leaving it to them to find out over the internet.
Seriously. If nothing else, pick up the phone and call them. DO NOT TEXT THEM! That’s almost as bad as not telling them that your relationship is over and they find out through a change in their Facebook relationship status …
It’s that whole “do unto others as you would have done unto you” bit. Would you be a happy camper if one of your friends posted a really unflattering photo of you? Even if they took it down, someone somewhere most likely still has a copy …
Not only that, but if you’re not careful, you could ruin someone’s reputation or even their livelihood! Impossible you say? What if they’re employer (or possible future employer) saw your “friend” in a photo that was less than stellar, they made whatever assumption about what was going on in it (whether it was true or not) and then that person go fired or was never hired for their dream job? I don’t know about you, but I’d feel like an asshat.
It’s simple friendship etiquette, people. And when a friend asks you to take it down? Do it. Or black out their face so it’s unrecognizable. Just saying.
If everyone knew how to set their Facebook privacy settings properly, this MIGHT not be a big deal. However, most people allow for others to comment on their wall and it’s visible for the whole world to see.
When you post sensitive messages or call out someone on their Facebook wall, you’re basically airing their dirty laundry. I’m sure you haven’t done anything like this though since you’re momma taught you better than that right?
Keep in mind that while you may feel better about it and the post may be deleted later, it’s the internet. Somewhere the data you put on that wall of that jerk who stood you up and aired their dirty laundry? You’ll likely find references to it somewhere on Google, thanks to SEO.
And while you may be angry with them for slighting you for whatever reason – stay classy! It is uncouth and can even have a similar effect on someone’s work status or otherwise as seen in a story in this article on WIRED.
“At its worst, it’s a weapon of mass reputation destruction, capable of amplifying slander, bullying, and casual idiocy on a scale never before possible.”
Shaming someone online can even be akin to bullying, if taken too far. So why not be the bigger person and just be discreet … or in other words don’t be a dumb bunny. Address the person privately, not publicly.
And if you still feel the need to call someone out on their bullshyte, then check out this article on LifeHacker.
Remember:
“Online shaming is a door that swings only one way: You may have the power to open it, but you don’t have the power to close it. And sometimes what rushes through that door can engulf you too.”
This Facebook relationship etiquette rule is kind of an odd one, because if you become friends with another person’s friends through mutual gatherings or excursions, you are not really “stealing other people’s friends” … You became friends with them through normal interaction.
What I believe that this rule applies to is when you go to the friends list of someone and add people you never met or barely know. That’s just creepy and weird. I personally don’t normally add anyone unless I know them or they message me and have some kind of a discussion.
Most people these days just add people willy nilly without any interaction. I don’t know if it’s because they just want a crap ton of friends on Facebook, they don’t understand how the follow button works, or what.
And for those on the receiving end of a random friend request? Sometimes you pick your brain going, “Do I know this person?” So you check mutual friends … and when you have several mutual friends, you think “Oh, I must know this person because they have 50+ of my friends, too” right? Yeah … that’s not necessarily true. They may be one of these Facebook relationship etiquette breakers!
Just don’t. With all of the bullying out there, you never know when something like this might push someone over the edge.
How would you feel if someone started a group all about talking smack about you and how much you suck or how much someone disliked you? Unless you have a high degree of personal development, like most people you would probably feel really bad, right? Maybe even angry?
When someone slights you – kill them with kindness! Hate groups do nothing but cause more hate and more negativity. Don’t put that out into the universe. Forgive and let go.
Recently I came across this article on Psychology Today about being slighted. What I found really interesting about it is that there’s a section that says:
When we feel slighted, it may seem that the offence comes from the outside, but ultimately, we are the ones who allow ourselves to feel slighted. In the wise words of Eleanor Roosevelt, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
This goes right along in line with some of the things that Tony Robbins and T Harv Eker teach … Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, actions lead to results! Therefore you determine how you feel in reaction to an event that happens to you, such as someone breaking Facebook relationship etiquette.
So next time you feel slighted by someone on Facebook (a.k.a. the Electric Friendship Generator as described in the video), you should just let it go. And as the end of the video says …
“Remember – have good Facebook manners and the electric friendship generator will be more fun for everyone!”
And nothing good ever comes from being easily offended.
What about you? Was there a time you ever felt slighted? Did you retaliate? I would love to hear from you in the comments section below!
