Hello Nick, my name is David I am a newcomer here I think I could have been here sooner if I had just listened.

 My passion in life has been building from the ground up, including heavy machinery to dig the foundation of a home. I enjoy most days just being outside and working with my hands for very long hours. At the end of the day and with all my attention given to that project ,I can sit back for a moment or two and admire what I have completed. Just seeing the workmanship that it took to get that far and the steps necessary, has always fueled my desire to learn new things. 

    At this age in my life, we all know we need to find something that we love, and that we can do as we get older, because our bodies don't last forever. 

  I have enjoyed many physical activities while I was young, but now, I'm looking to do more leisurely things, so I am thus far, just beginning to think about what I should be doing in my leisure. I like you, have been working non-stop around the clock just to try and get this going, I understand hard work and dedication, I look forward to our adventures in this one. 

Thank you all for having me. 

Sincerely, David

     P.s. I almost forgot, what I'm looking for most out of this, is a website that will link homeowners contractors and the project that they need done. This will be an interactive design so that they can pick merchandise, time of frame to be done, any alterations within that program, real time. So I will need information and skills to reach these customers.

Hi @DavidL35638 

We're glad you're here! Your passion for working with heavy machinery is clear. Seeing a project come together after hard work is rewarding. Over the past few years, I have picked up woodworking, building simple things like birdhouses, chairs, and shelves. I absolutely love it.

Your vision for a website that connects homeowners with contractors and provides real-time project management sounds innovative and practical. It could fill a real need in the market. Building such a platform will require information, skills, and an understanding of customer needs.

Feel free to ask and share for technical advice, business strategies, or feedback on your ideas. Many have taken similar paths and want to help newcomers like you.

All the best in realizing your vision! Looking forward to your progress!

My name is Stephen Bates, and I am the founder of Advantage Access Advisors, LLC. Our mission is to help people live healthier lives by providing affordable access to laboratory tests that can detect health problems early on. We offer local access to over 2,100 confidential and affordable tests, giving you the advantage of early detection and proactive health management.

I started this business out of my own dissatisfaction with our healthcare system. Delays in accessing vital health information have affected my treatment and that of my loved ones. I want to empower individuals to be well-informed about their health and overall well-being, avoiding unnecessary delays in diagnosis and treatment.

There are more than 194 million adults between the ages of 19 and 64 in the United States, with about half of them uninsured or underinsured. This statistic doesn’t include the over 5 million American workers who lost health insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there are Federal, state, and private programs to support some of these individuals, access and requirements vary. Many people in this group would benefit greatly from having self-pay options for medical testing.

I am reaching out to all those whose conditions or treatments are not covered by insurance, or who are uninsured or underinsured. In my opinion, better health knowledge leads to a better quality of life.

If you need testing, know someone who needs testing or just want more information, I would be happy to discuss it with you.

Best regards,

Stephen P. Bates, Ph.D., CIH, CSP

Hi Nick!

Thanks for the warm welcome, and BIG Congratulations on the new addition to your family! As a mother of two, I can completely relate to the joy (and lack of sleep) that comes with welcoming a little one into the world. It’s a whirlwind, but it’s the most rewarding experience. Your journey at Constant Contact is impressive, and as someone who loves both creativity and adventure, I can definitely relate to your passions for digital art and rock climbing. Looking forward to connecting more!

Best,
Shafika Khan

[Nick_S]

Thank you for the kind words, Shafika! And it's always nice to find someone who can relate to the... wonderful exhaustion of parenthood. It's still a ways away, but we're considering the possibility of a second wee one, and I gotta admit... sounds daunting. 😄

Hi Jaymi. Welcome to the wild, wonderful world of email marketing! I'm not very familiar with dating apps (been married for 37 years!!) so I'm interested to know: are local events common with apps like this? Sounds like a good idea to me 😊

[CherelleL]

Hello everyone,  I am Cherellew, the owner of ExoticRelles out of Memphis,TN.  We are a handcrafted mom and pop shop from home. We hand craft things out of wax, we make braclets,  and what knot things. On my team I have my niece (15yr) who makes custom braclets,  my son (8yr) who does the painting on the wood craft 😆.  Then I'm the one who handcraft the wax figures and personalized them. What I love the most is the smiles on people faces when they see my artwork.  They way my artwork looks at parties, venues, wedding , baby showers, etc. Also, I never make something twice, everything is personalized for that customer to bring out their day. I am new here as well. Just looking for new clients, big projects, and more insight on how to market. 

[Chris-S]

That’s awesome, @CherelleL do you have a landing page or any social media we could check out?

Hello

My name is Kristin G.   I am the chair for SME  a nonprofit Professional Organization committed to promoting and supporting Engineering and Manufacturing  for students ( middle thru college) educators and professionals.  Our organization helps manufacturers grow and prosper  by developing a skilled workforce.  Our belief is Manufacturing is key to economic growth and prosperity.  My role for this organization is chair of  industry representatives, teachers, and students.   My background is in Education and work with the teachers to connect them to business so they can help students develop the skills need in the manufacturing industry.   We provide industry tours, networking events and professional development for our members and interested friends of manufacturing.  During COVID our chapter membership dropped and now we are working to regain membership and provide connection.    That is what brought our organization to Constant Contact.  We need a consistent communication plan that will serve new and current members. 

I am retired from the workforce when not doing this project.....My husband and I are faux farmers and I am outside with our three alpacas, hazelnut trees and gardening. When inside I  am needle felting and trying new recipes.

[Chris-S]

Hi @KristinG439 

It's really cool to hear how you and your team are working hard to connect education and manufacturing. Your initiatives, like tours, events, and training, sound awesome!

And on a personal note, your "faux farming" lifestyle with alpacas, hazelnut trees, and needle-felting sounds like a dream of mine!

If you’re looking for somewhere to get started I’d recommend our Ready, Set, Send challenge which has great worksheets to inspire you along your Constant Contact journey.
