North Miami Phone, Iphone and Laptop Repair

I received an Ipad 2 as a gift in October and had a terrible experience two weeks ago: I dropped it as I was about to open my car door. It had lots of cracks across the screen and I was really down about it. I plugged it in, crossed my fingers and it did look like it was charging, I could take pictures and I was able to surf the net. PHEW! But, still what was I to do? The Apple store at Town Center Mall wanted 250.00. I found a few other places nearby and they wanted 189.00. I called a place in North Miami and they said they’d do it for 100.00! Bingo! I was very pleased with the results.

The shop was very professional, right near a Subway and McDonald’s plus they had their own waiting room as well. I hope you like the customer testimonial I made because I was so pleased with the service. By the way, if you are a business owner, you can see how well these youtube videos do in search engines. If you type in “North Miami Ipad Repair into google, you’ll see it on page 1! If you need any help with creating your own just let me know. It is best to have some pictures, a little narrative, an interview so you can have a connection and some music. Connect with your potential customers so they can build trust and get to know you.

Try to NOT drop your iphone or ipad! They are very fragile! But if you do, you can always contact them at 305 772-0251 for excellent service at Unlimited Repair or visit HERE.

Update on April 14th- I just checked and a few phrases such as “north miami laptop repair”, “north miami phone repair” and “north miami ipad repair” are all showing up on page 1 with the video. It is helpful to explain the service if you are speaking into the camera. Articles and press releases also are effective to help your website and internet presence. Ask some of your friends what they would type into a search engine if they were looking for your services. Sometimes that helps because you can see things more objectively. This can help you figure out your ideal customer as well. I have a newsletter and it wasn’t until I did a survey that I found out that many women on it were interested in yoga during pregnancy. You can ask your clients and customers what they are looking for as well. Let people tell you and don’t assume you know their needs.

On another note- I haven’t dropped my Ipad again and have been very careful!

Kindle For Personal And Business Growth

I wanted to mention that there are lots of ways that kindle books can help you both on a personal level as well as for business growth. Did you know that you can get thousands of kindle books for free and read them on a pc, iphone or different device than a kindle? When I used to search on kindle, I would find most kindle books had a charge. But, here is a free guide to easily Find Free Kindle Books. I also just published my first kindle book which is on Famous Quotes from inspirational thinkers and made it under a dollar. You can see it Here . I’ve always found quotes to be very helpful both for myself and clients. Also, I don’t own a kindle and you don’t need one in order to read a kindle book- you can read them on your pc, ipad, iphone or in lots of ways!

In addition to the way that your mind can grow by reading books more (and reducing wasted time with silly texting activities), creating your own kindle book is a way to express your own creativity and even can be a business booster. If you publish something on kindle, you can address frequently asked questions that your customers or clients might have and reach a larger population of people. For instance, if I was looking for a dentist in the area, I’d be very happy to read a free or .99 kindle book that answered a lot of my questions. A lot of people wonder about the following: They may want to know things like when should your toddler have their first check up? What to know about braces? Choosing the right toothbrush and paste? Are tooth whitening products safe? If I had a choice between 5 dentists that were unfamiliar to me and one had an informative kindle book that gave me a sense of his personality and expertise, I would choose him. Continue reading

Appreciation of the Beauty of South Florida

coconut creek bird Although there are some negatives living in South Florida such as the traffic on I-95 and the housing market, there is so much beauty here. Remember, that many people choose our area for their vacations. I was with a friend and we were waiting for the bridge to open heading to Deerfield Beach. I was so diappointed that we just arrived when the gate came down. But he loved looking at the view, the boats and was full of wonder. When you live in the area, it’s easy to forget to look around at the trees, birds and beauty.

It’s important to stay inspired, even if you work inside all day. I know I am guilty of not always taking a short walk at night. Remember, that the clocks are changing soon and that it will get dark an hour later. It will be perfect for short walks after dinner. This is also good for the heart. Many doctors recommend 30 minutes a day of walking for women over 50 as well. And maybe then, we’ll remember to notice the ducks, lakes and beauty around us. Continue reading

Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek Florida

tradewinds park coconut creek florida Tradewinds Park is a family- and pet-friendly spot located on the north and south of Sample Road in Coconut Creek, Florida. Formerly a boarding house and horse-breeding farm, the park is now owned by Broward County and spans 627 acres of beautiful land, where you can relax, have fun and explore in the outdoors.

Local Business Exposure Through The Internet And Review Sites

coconut creek reviews I worked with a client last month that was pretty upset that he had a bad review. Type in your business name in google and you’ll most likely see a number of review sites listed such as google maps page, yelp, citysearch etc. First of all, these are all good to claim and get listed on and most of them are free. You can also optimize them by having photos and videos and good descriptions of your store or services.

My client’s negative review seemed to be a competitor because when I clicked on his profile, I found he left a negative review for another local business in the same industry. Also, they were both done on the same day. Do you have a way that your customers can leave their reviews for you at the local sites? We can discuss that. Please feel free to call me at 954 567-8442 or contact me via e-mail using the contact page at coconutcreekguide.com and I can give you a free evaluation of your internet presence.

It is a good idea to monitor your reviews, claim your google places page and to also see if your web page is designed so that it shows up in the search engines for your important keywords. For instance, if you type in coconut creek florida accountant or cococonut creek florida accountants, this site is on page 1. Do you know what phrases are best for your business and what people type into the search engines to find you? Keyword analysis is important. Also, you can send articles around the net such as “Five Tips On Dealing With Back Pain” as a chiropractor or “How to Deal With Frizzy Hair” if you are a hair salon owner. This is a great way to get traffic to your site and also help people learn about your services or products. Videos are also very useful and can be placed on youtube as well as on your blog.

Deerfield Beach on Christmas 2011

I went to the Deerfield Beach on Christmas day and it was gorgeous. I decided to do a little filming of the inside of the tiki huts as they are very beautiful weaves. There were surfers out and of course volleyball games and more.

I also went to Hillsboro Inlet and took a little video there which I’ll be uploading shortly. There is a nice view of the Lighthouse from there. I go to Deerfield beach quite regularly. The views are great and you can walk on the sidewalk to get exercise if it is too a pull on your calf muscles walking in the sand. Continue reading

Butterfly World In Coconut Creek

If you haven’t been to Butteryfly World, you are in for a true treat. This is a magical place only 5 minutes from my house. There are species of butterflies that are quite remarkable and it is quite beautiful. Also, if you think you’d go more than twice a year, you can get a pass so you don’t have to pay each time. I actually went with someone who suffers from dementia, and the look in her eyes in seeing this beauty was priceless.

Check out the video and see what you think! If you need to relax, want to see a smile on your child’s face or need a source of inspiration- this is the place to go. There are lots of people there taking photos and videos and it is a unique environment. Remember, that you can’t bring in food or drinks. Also, you need to check your clothing as you go into different sections to be sure you don’t have butterflies on your clothing.

Across the street is Tradewind Park. That is where they have beautiful holiday lights and you drive through and see so much beauty in the Christmas displays. Sometimes it is backed up on Sample Road so give yourself time to see it. Of course, this is also near the Festival Flea Market, so you can get this all in too in the same day! There is so much to explore in Coconut Creek.

News And Info for Coconut Creek, Boca Raton and Our Local Community

fern forest Hi Everyone,

I have lived in Coconut Creek for 12 years and love it here. I am a social worker and also run a number of blogs and websites. I will be featuring interviews with local merchants and hope that the community here will grow. It is good to shop locally and support those in this area. There are lots of fascinating people here and I hope to highlight them by interviews.

I’ll be adding videos and pictures as this blog develops. If you want to take a beautiful walk, check out Fern Forest which is free and on Lyons road a few minutes south of Atlantic. It is gorgeous and I was just there last week. It is pretty close to BCC and it is in Coconut Creek. There is a gorgeous boardwalk that goes through the forest with multiple trails.
