Mike Miller of Traffic Hearts

Another swift and concerned respondent to the Underhill post I wrote was Mike Miller of Traffic Hearts of whose site I was a member of since 14 August 2017.

He expressed his desire to help immediately. But again, that was his way for he's one of the most caring and active Admins on the JV sites. Oftentimes, I wonder how he manages to multi-task as he has so many sites to look after. It is just so fitting then that he is Admin of Traffic Hearts -- for he does have the heart for people and his work.

This is a man who writes several awesome blogs himself and promotes programs he honestly feels will help people. We marketers always want to test the programs first before we put it out in the market for others to join. We take great responsibility for such, that's why. We all know how difficult it is to find good programs that really deliver and so we keep at it. We only want you to have the best as always.

When you see this banner, then you know you've come to the right place:

Another wonderful thing about Mr. Miller is that he's generous with his advice for people like me, and I'm sure for others who are always open to learning. If he sees there's some good he can share and it will truly help others, he will do so in his gentle and non-invasive manner.

Of course, you always listen to those who have been on the field longer than you have -- only makes sense to do so if you don't have a proud bone in your body. You will want to view some of his links here where he has created marvelous blogs showing his sites. I've been a blogger for sometime now and I know the work that goes on in there.

Tom Witt of Drag Bus Hits

One of the first Admins who responded to my 26 March 2018 blog post, "For Val and Bob Underhill", was Tom Witt of Drag Bus Hits.

I am not surprised, for Mr. Witt is a very helpful and wonderful Admin. Right away, he shared my Underhill links on his many mail and surf sites. He was also the first one to support Valerie Underhill's Build Viral site by signing up as a member after I wrote many Owners and Admins about the Underhill plight. 

Of course, you will love joining his many sites as they welcome you with this unassuming but friendly figure:

Then you'd know it's a site to join -- a sight that is his trademark. 

Having been a member of these JV sites for six months now since September of last year, and being a writer, photojournalist, and communications and customer service lecturer, I always pay attention to how people serve each other. I also pay even greater attention to the tiny details that most people miss -- but I don't.

It is in these tiny details, such as the warm reception and pro-activity of many Admins to my Underhill blog post that made me create Marketers Unite. I somehow envisioned that it was but timely to create something that would unite all Marketers and Advertisers -- in fact, ALL people in business or positions of leadership who care to be united. 

And the most important thing was not only in making sales but in what does one do when one of us needs help? Who cares to find out? Who cares to find a solution? Who cares to get creative, in the absence of funds? Who cares to organize something that would aid ANY marketer in dire need?

When you can see something bigger than yourself you can only be moved and be in awe, and get to work immediately.

And I was not disappointed in my initial efforts. Randy Brickhouse-Bey of Opal Solo Ads, Tom Witt of Drag Bus Hits, and a few other Admins I will be featuring soon -- all cared to help the Underhill family in each their own way.

I had discovered Mr. Witt's awesome site last year and signed up as a member on 4 December 2017. It was going to be Christmas time and I wanted to prepare for the Prince of Peace and Mr. Witt's logo defined the spirit of Christmas and ideally, every day:

And since it is Holy Week 2018 now, even more appropriate to share the peace once again -- may we all abide by it. For those who love art and color and life, you will appreciate what he shares on the front page:

"This Dragbus is what inspired the website design."

What a beautiful, flaming piece of art!

You see, each Admin has their own trademark which I have already identified, whether through their site or through their demeanor. And that's what's exciting to write about -- at how we're all so different, and yet by our very diversity, there is unity.

May Marketers Unite reveal such things to you.

Randy Brickhouse-Bey of Opal Solo Ads

Marketing is all about instincts. That's something science can never map out. It's plainly relying on your gut feel, on your first instincts, which I did when I first signed up on Admin Randy Brickhouse-Bey's Opal Solo Ads. And boy, was I ever right!

This was on 24 September 2017. On Mr. Bey's site, I found that you can earn cash and credits from reading the mails. I also learned to put out banner ads and text link ads, as well as use the credit mailer and solo ads.

This inspired me to further improve my Band of Banners blog which I created on 17 September 2017. The initial objective was to research, join, and test sites that pay people for reading mails. I was there to show them where they can earn when they sign up for FREE. Not everyone starts out with money for an upgrade so I researched and tested hundreds of sites for my readers and potential referrals. Most of the owners and Admins were wonderful and were very kind and generous. You will find that out when you sign up under the sites I've included on my blog.

Why am I saying all these?

Well, it's always good to look back on how one started so you always keep on track. It was Mr. Bey's Opal Solo Ads that really got me going. 

It was a site that asked you for nothing and yet gave you everything. Most of the JV sites are like that anyway, but Mr. Bey's site stood out as you will see when you read further.

I got to know more about Mr. Bey's character as a person and as an Admin when I created this new blog you're reading now, Marketers Unite, from some urgent circumstances the other night.

Valerie Underhill, CEO of Build Viral, wrote us members about medical challenges her family were going through and would appreciate any help we could extend. Here she was with many concerns and yet she managed to put in an email for members of her site. I always pay attention to such things.

I thought to myself, "What can I do?" I had spent most of my money on my marketing efforts, but surely there was something I can do -- had to get creative.

This was the result of instant inspiration -- YES, I had to create a new blog and write about her -- and possibly about future needs of other Admins, or even just to acknowledge their kindness -- and I do have a lot of wonderful stories to tell.

You know how it is when you are driven by something bigger than yourself -- it's like a wave that comes at you and you have to ride it, lest you lose your initial inspiration and courage.

I rode that wave and Marketers Unite, espousing the cause of Val and Bob Underhill, was born. I worked till 1 a.m., writing all the Admins I knew until I could no more. To my mind, Valerie Underhill was CEO of a beautiful site. Why not ask the help of other Admins? That was the wave given me.

As luck would have it, many kind Admins responded -- following their own compass -- and I was deeply touched. I will be writing about these people in the next posts, but for now, I must extend my gratitude to Mr. Bey for sending emails and ads on 32 sites where I presume there'd be thousands of members, and here's what he wrote:

Peace and Prosperity
One of the members of my ad network created a blog page to help the Underhill family. They are going through a serious challenge right now. Please, just go to the page and read their story. Thank you!
Randy Brickhouse-Bey

He wrote the above material, including the links to my Underhill story, "For Val and Bob Underhill".

Marketers Unite is all about marketers helping each other. I believe in energy exchange. True marketers know about such stuff. When I first started Band of Banners blog, I aimed to give before I received. 

When I received such generosity and sensitivity from Mr. Bey yesterday and up to today, I immediately wanted to give a gift back. Well, here's the gift, this very blog post, plus another thing that matters to him a lot -- his daughter's project.

Please CLICK on this link to go to her positive TEE shirt site where you will find many wonderful, original designs from one so young and so talented. When you purchase something from her, you will help her with her college education. There's really something beautiful about young people now -- how brave and creative they are. But then again, I'm not surprised. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and Mr. Bey is one, wonderful apple tree of an example!

For Val and Bob Underhill

I have never met CEO Valerie Underhill in person but she and her family need our help right now. 

In an email to members of her advertising site, Build Viral, she wrote:

Hello 

I've been very busy offline due to health reasons.  Bob has been in ICU for almost two weeks and I know it is going to be a lot longer. 

I am asking you to give and share. Even if it is only one dollar...

And so I clicked on the link she gave us members and saw for myself the challenges she's been going through, and yet she still manages to email us about her site where she is head.

Perhaps, we can all stop for a moment from our concerns right now and unite as marketers and advertisers with the objective of helping Val and Bob Underhill in whatever way we can. We each have our own ways of doing so. Let that be your compass.

Please click on this link which Val shared in her email.

Of course, she had no idea I created this blog post for her. It was my own compass I followed; you will have your own way of helping. All I know is I felt like doing it so I did.

Also, I believe in the POWER of prayers -- these always help in time of need.

Thank you, one and all for reading this post -- share it if you want to -- and may God continue to bless each and everyone of you always!
