Making the Best of a Small Living Space

Cheek for Cheek and So On

The most fun endeavors, many times, come to be as the result of a lark. My first book, under one of my pseudonyms, was written because I was feeling rather snarky and just knew I could. Much the same with Novel in a Day (NIAD). NIAD was born “tongue in cheek.” I’m not sure just how much cheek ... Read More

I’m sorry to say that when I went into the local store to inquire, the sales persons I encountered didn’t know what it was – whether I spelled it, tried to pronounce it or described it.

TsuDOTcom

So, I recently shared information that dismisses the misconception that Tsu.com is a scam. Besides the fact that its a great place from which to drive traffic to other social media, it's great place to network with other members of Tsu's community.

My article, Tsu, Seriously, provides links by which you can also educate yourself to the understanding that Tsu is not a scam. Who else pays anything for your time online tooling around in social media?

So, join me (short code: ArachneaENTs), and all the others, and start earning for your time on social media.
