This is a guest post about one of the sponsors of the FamousBloggers CommentLuv $3550 CASH PRIZES Blogging Contest by Donna Fontenot (aka DazzlinDonna) who says about herself, “I’m a near-dinosaur in the SEO world, but I don’t really consider myself an SEO. I’m an online entrepreneur, affiliate marketer, and ebusiness coach among other things. Mainly, I’m a geek making a living online.”.
Raise your hand if you know someone who is considering supplementing their income by making money online – or someone who is ready to ditch the cubicle completely by becoming an Internet entrepreneur. These days, very few people wouldn’t raise their hands. Starting an online business is both exciting and scary, so help your friend start right by showing her that you believe she’s got the right stuff to make it big.
Anyone starting a new business of any sort – on or offline – needs some business essentials. You can help show your support for your friend’s new venture by giving a gift that says “This is a gift for success!” and it can be a gift that fits right in with the essential business tools she needs. Want some examples?
Head on over to Executive Gift Shoppe to choose a stylish gift for your budding CEO such as a swanky money clip, a “green” gift like the bamboo cell phone / MP3 / PDA charging station, or a beautiful and useful padfolio that’s perfect for organizing all the new tasks she’ll be taking on.
Remember how exciting it used to be when you’d go to school on the first day of the new year? What was one of the most exciting parts of that experience? If you were like me and many others, it was the chance to buy all new accessories – pens, pencils, notebooks, etc. Business accessories are just an adult extension of that same excitement. Starting a new business is even more exciting, so give a gift that the new entrepreneur is sure to love. You’ll find something just right at Executive Gift Shoppe, I’m sure.
Speaking of gifts, you can give the gift of your thoughts at my contest entry 5 Steps To Impressing A Longtime Jaded Blogger With Your Comments. It’s free to share your knowledge gift, so please do. Everyone would love to know what you think. Or, if you’d prefer, tweet a link to my entry using the hashtag #FCBLcontest.

Hi,
Nice idea. You are right, starting a new business comes under the same excitement that children feel.
Your idea of giving a gift to a new entrepreneur is really good and will be appreciated by the person starting a new business.
Kindest,
Nabeel
Affiliate links…….the life blood of pro blogging!
Meanwhile, call me a cheapskate but we buy our office supplies at Costco, LOL.
What are you talking about? Where are the affiliate links?

Wedding DJ’s comment makes me so sad because it reveals that even someone as active online as he is has not realized that it is shopping at big box stores owned by multi-national Corporations that is destroying our economy.
Shopping at Costco instead of any small local or online business has the same affect on them as replacing a live wedding DJ with a canned recording would have on him.
We all have to realize that there are far-reaching consequences of our actions. We have to start making SUSTAINABLE decisions that benefit everyone. We simply must stop creating the same situation that miners and others were trapped into back in the days of the Company Store.
I encourage everyone to read about what a Company Store is and why it inspired that famous song I Owe My Soul to the Company Store.
I also wish everyone would read about what these types of Corporations are doing. The many sites dedicated to exposing the travesties of Wal-Mart’s actions are a good place to start:
Wal-Mart Movie: The High Cost of Low Price
WalMart is Bad for Business
Every dime you spend in one of these stores is a dime that benefits only the wealthy few and drives the rest of us further into poverty. There are statistics in the second half of the post I’ll feature in CommentLuv that clearly show where the money we spend goes.
Anyone who gains awareness and does not change their actions is hastening the coming crash that IS inevitable and WILL affect everyone. NOW is the time to do something about surviving what is coming.

Excellent idea Donna. My daughter started an online dress shop last month EstavaMoriaka.com and we are both super excited about it. I’ll pop over to the Executive Gift Shoppe, sounds like I might find some iPhone accessories. I’ve been looking for another way to show my support for this contest. Best wishes for your entry to score high!
