Dilbeck Marketing News

I’ve been looking for a good social networking site that is specifically targeted at helping us promote our businesses and meet other business owners and entrepreneurs.

Of the dozen or more I joined, each has it’s good and bad points, but most of them don’t work the way I do and I’ve had a hard time finding one with the members I want to meet and interact with.

Over the Labor Day weekend, I took some time to really look into APsense and liked what I saw.

So, I’ve decided that the majority of my business-related social networking will be done on APsense and I invite you to join me there - it’s free.

One of the things I like about APsense is that you get a profile page (as every other site offers) and a business center where you can promote business opportunities, advertise your products and services, collect testimonials, list resources you recommend, promote your business, and do other valuable promotional things.

When I got there, I searched the groups and found that several niches in which I’m active were not represented, so I created five new groups:

• Site Build It!
• Zlio Shops
• CafePress Shops
• Businesses in Western North Carolina
• Act On Your Dream!

I’ve joined several other existing groups and started meeting interesting people.

If you want to try out APsense, come check it out for yourself.

Act on your dream!

It has been a very long time since I’ve been able to upload any new designs to my John Dilbeck’s Shirts, Mugs, and Hats store at CafePress.

Over the last few days, I created a dozen or so new designs and I’ll be adding them to the store over the next few days, as I can.

I thought it was appropriate to add some new designs to the Computers and Internet section.

There are several designs in the WebMaster products, including the newest.

Sometimes I see Webmaster as one word and sometimes as two. “Web Master” offers a new take on the design and it’s now available on a number of products including clothing, tiles, stickers, magnets, buttons, mugs, steins, and probably a few I can’t think of right now.

Web Master

Show the world that you control at least a portion of the World Wide Web, or give your favorite nerd a gift proclaiming her (or his) technical prowess.

These products are available now.

When you were younger, you’d watch your Mom or Dad get more and more frustrated when you wanted something. Eventually, one of them would say, “Because I said so!,” or a variation of that.

Kids don’t give up easily. They’ll try asking, begging, throwing tantrums, and other assorted ways to dominate your attention and get what they want.

Now, you’re the parent and your kids are doing to you what you did to your Mom and Dad.

Because I’m the Mommy, That’s Why!

Because I’m the Daddy, That’s Why!

Here are a couple of shirts to help you save your breath. Just wear them and point to the slogan. The Because I’m the Mommy, That’s Why! design has been one of the most popular in my t-shirt shop.

They also make great gifts for your children when they complain about children of their own.

More similar designs are available in the Because, That’s Why section of Shirts-Mugs-Hats.com.

I would like to thank the good people who have been buying items from the USA Flag Wear section of Shirts-Mugs-Hats.com. If I knew how to contact you, I would thank you personally.

If you’ve never browsed this section of my CafePress store, I think you’ll find some patriotic products here that will be just what you’re looking for.

Designs in the following categories are available on multiple products.

• America the Beautiful
• USA - Don’t Tread On Me
• God Bless America
• God Bless the USA
• I’m Proud to be an American
• Land of the Free, Home of the Brave
• Let Freedom Ring!
• USA - No More Sanctuary for Terrorists
• Americans - Soft and Cuddly on the Outside, Hard as Steel on the Inside
