I hope you are all doing well! To our American fans, hope you had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday weekend. To our Canadian fans, hope you had a safe holiday on the 1st!
I just started a Yahoo!Group for the "MJ Connections" Network. Please join! It's very easy and I promise, it will be worth it! This will be a great way for US to communicate with YOU directly, via moderated and infrequent e-mail messages.
Please click HERE to sign up for the Yahoo!Group for "MJ Connections!"
Membership is by approval only so please give me some time to approve once you submit your request.
All e-mails from the Yahoo!Group will be moderated, meaning you won't get e-mails from ANYONE other than admins - so there won't be risk of spam and there won't be a lot of e-mail. You will not receive any more than a few e-mails per week, depending on how much we have going on.
In fact, I am going to plan on setting up a "schedule" for e-mails: certain days of the week to send "MJ Connection UPDATES" to you all through the Yahoo!Group. I'm thinking about keeping the schedule quite STRICT - only sending 1 e-mail out 2 days a week (possibly something like Sundays and Wednesdays). Then, the only other messages you'd get would be URGENT updates for something that is time-sensitive and cannot wait to be sent. Which means you will only get 2 e-mails per week, possibly 3.
Going forward, this will be VERY important since it is quite difficult to update everyone though Facebook. The Yahoo!Group will allow us to send out e-mail bulletins for important announcements, and we can also benefit from certain other tools that Yahoo!Group offers such ...as polls, files, etc. So PLEASE, please sign up for it! The link is posted above.
We are working on expanding, as we speak. A website is in the works. I'm hoping the website will have a forum, as well as a map and other interactive features. If you don't already know, our Twitter page is quite active. The YouTube page is up and I've already posted a video - a music video that I hope you will all check out when you have a few minutes. The Blog is up and has a few entries, so far. We have someone working on graphics so that will be exciting, and we may even have our very own LOGO - something that we'll possibly be VOTING on (so that's just one reason why having the Yahoo!Group with it's "poll" feature will be helpful).
I want to give a HUGE shout-out to Jeanie, my amazing co-administrator! She is such a lovely person and she is doing an incredible job helping out with the page so far! That said, I know as we continue to grow she and I won't be able to handle it ALL by ourselves - so we still would love to have some more administrators join us. It's not hard, as I'm sure Jeanie can tell you. Just have to keep an eye out for the page, your fellow fans and Michael - and make a post or "monitor" the page from time to time - something we all pretty much do already anyway! If you're interested in helping, please let me know.I'm THRILLED that we have almost 600 people already! In less than a month! That's just fantastic! Still, we have a lot of work to do in that area. There are MILLIONS of Michael fans on Facebook, and online, and our biggest "legacy" is to connect with most of them! I didn't call the page "MJ *CONNECTIONS*" for nothing. ;)
So, what I'm asking of each and everyone of you right now is something very simple and easy. Scout the internet. Scout Facebook. Scout Twitter. Scout MySpace. Scout any social networking site you frequent, or know of. Reach out to members of any other MJ Groups you may belong to. Invite more MJ fans to join us! I'm not asking you to go out of your way to do so, but if each of us just recruits a few fans we can grow quickly in no time! Anything you can do to help would be much appreciated. :)
Just as a quick reminder - before I close this update - the discussion board for the page is active! There are some posts there but there hasn't been much discussion. I urge you all to take a look at the posts and participate if you'd like, or even start a few discussions of your own. In addition, we have the ability to post videos and photos to the page, and members ARE able to upload ... so please feel free to share any MJ related pics or videos you'd like!
If you have any questions or ideas, as always, please let me know. My "inbox" is always open, LOL. Everything is coming together very well and I hope within a few weeks we'll be expanding even further. Keep an eye out for more fun and exciting announcements and projects! Remember, the more connected we are, the more impact we can have for Michael ... and the more friendships we can form with one another! :) Until next time ...
With L.O.V.E.
