Event planning has a lot of little intricacies that can be hard to keep up or even missed if your planning is not organized, focused, and centralized. Events Listed can make your event planning a seamless execution by offering free, easy to use online tools. Yes, we said free.

Once you have your event booked and your date determined, simply create a web page with over 60 easy to use multi media tools set in a Web 2.0 environment. No technical experience is required, although your web page will look like a professional designer created it when it’s done. This page will act as your invitation, communication and networking portal, and management hot spot, all in one.

Event Planning-Personalize Your Page

After you’ve personalized your page to match your event planning theme with pictures, videos, micro blogs, comment walls, RSS feeds, music, and more, send out electronic invitations to all of the guests that are to attend your event. Send these through electronic emails containing direct web links to your page. Your guests simply click the link and arrive right on your web page.

When your guests come to your page, they’ll be able to respond to your invitation. Everyone will be able to see everyone’s responses as to who is coming, who is not, and who hasn’t responded yet. If you choose, you can even add pictures of your guests to be displayed beside their names.

Your guests will see the networking abilities offered to them and probably jump right in and start right away. If you’d like to open up to a larger audience, you can simply cross reference other event planning online groups to network with also. Get great event planning tips, budget suggestions and more.

Even if you don’t have your event planned entirely, you can create this page ahead of time, get the ideas from the networking, and then finish your event planning.

For any of your guests who can’t attend, they can enjoy photos, micro blogs, video feeds, and more being implemented during the party. Anyone can be at the virtual party, even if they are on the other side of the world.

Party Planning

Being able to manage your event planning is important for smooth operation. That is why we also offer management tools, such as these:

* Guest List Manager – Besides the guest list always being updated in real time, you can send out preset, automated email reminders about the event date and time as the event draws nearer.

* Budget Manager – Post and manage your event budget right on your web page to have everything in one, centralized area.

Event planning just doesn’t get much easier than this. Events Listed is thrilled to be able to offer you these tools and these resources, all for free, to make your event planning run as easily as possible. Have a great event and enjoy!

My friend Janet used to struggle financially. For years, she was afraid to eat out, because it left her short of grocery money for the rest of the week.

Once, she heard that you could make money taking online surveys, and she even paid $29.95 for a product which was supposed to give her secret inside access to the really well-paid online surveys.

As you can imagine, it was a big disappointment. You can’t earn money taking online surveys. There are so many people around who will take surveys for free, and kids taking surveys for pennies, that unless you’re a hot shot senior executive you really can’t earn much money taking online surveys.

To make matters worse, her inbox then filled up with junk emails from all the places that the survey companies sold her personal information to! When you earn money taking online surveys, you are just giving your details - including your spending habits - to companies who are quite willing to let you earn money taking online surveys, because they know they can sell your information dozens of times over in the future.

Fortunately, it all turned out OK for Janet in the end. She didn’t find a way to earn money taking online surveys - she found something better.

What happened was, she was having dinner with an old friend, a guy who had really been through the mill - an IT geek who was laid off just as the Tech Crunch hit, unemployed, with a family to support, and almost no prospects. A few years down the track after that, she knew that he was still just doing bits and pieces from home, so she told herself she would pick up the tab for dinner, and live on baked beans for the rest of the week, just to lift his spirits.

When the bill came, though, he jumped in and said he would pay it.

To make a long story short, he had quite a decent income in place from his “bits and pieces”. He showed Janet one of the freelance opportunities he was working himself, she followed the steps he told her, and she literally made over $50 that night!

These days, Janet doesn’t think twice about eating out - or buying new shoes, or taking the occasional trip away. She can easily afford the little luxuries - she has been consistently pulling in extra cash, right from her home computer, ever since Ross pointed her in the right direction.

Rather than trying to earn money taking online surveys, she got a good tip from an old friend, about something he already knew was working for him.

Ross has a website up now, explaining what he’s doing, and how others can do it too - he even mentions that dinner he bought for Janet in there!

I don’t think Janet is planning to put up a website - she’s too busy shopping, and she’s not the IT geek that Ross is, but she’s happy for him to tell her story on his site.

And what would Janet say to anyone looking for ways to earn a second income?

“Don’t try to earn money taking online surveys. Follow Ross Williams’ advice instead - it’s easier, quicker, and you can actually make real money - then you can pick up the checks any time!”

Of course, if you still hope to earn money taking online surveys …

… well, I wish you luck …

And in the news today - the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event has been launched! I am listening to Sean Roach and Pat Lovell at the Focus Marketing Seminar in Washington, DC, and they have just announced that the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event is open for bookings.

Here in the Focus Marketing Seminar in Washington just now, I can tell you that if it’s anything like the Washington event, the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event is going to be a sensation! Sean Roach began the Washington event this morning by announcing a huge range of give-aways for the people in the room. These guys are really serious about giving back - they walk the talk. I’m sure the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event will have equally spectacular unannounced benefits!

The people who attend the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event will not only get access to great financial and investment information, new internet marketing strategies, and business networking opportunities, they will also get access to Got Access(TM). Sean Roach will be telling Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event attendees how they can take advantage of the next wave of development on the internet - which he calls Web 3.0.

If you have spent any time thinking about marketing, you will know that finding prospects is the most difficult part of any business, and in internet marketing in particular, the Holy Grail of marketing is finding targeted traffic. At the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event, Sean Roach and Pat Lovell will show attendees how Got Access (TM) solves that age-old marketing problem in a whole new way!

Well, the lunch break is over, the next give-away is happening right now!  I’ll sign out and pay attention to get the next gem. Remember to check out the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event if you’re in that part of the world.
