Mission
Statement
DREAMWalker Group
is a collective of inspired individuals who are dedicated to the
idea that if one person sparkles, a group of people are
brilliant.
As proprietor of DREAMWalker
Group, it is
Michael
Walker's
desire to express a deep sense of gratitude for all the good
that has entered and continues to enter his life. To do this, he
has created a site that offers free web profiles to
creative people and provides a "one stop" venue for creative
information and creative, spirit-based support. Insofar as this
is a free site, he is also hopeful that this site will
eventually become self-supporting. To make this a possibility,
visitors to the site are encouraged to buy at least one item a
year through the
Amazon.com
and other affiliate links.
NOTE:
Profile pages can include the following information (or
more):
-
Contact information (website and email, if desired)
-
An historical listing of published books (current and
out-of-print)
-
An historical listing of published CDs and tapes (when
possible)
-
Cross-links to other subject-related books and authors at
DREAMWalker Group
- Links
from author's book directly to Amazon.com (the money we
make, currently about $400 per year, helps pay for the
maintenance of this free site.

2) Travels
by Artist Lynette Yencho
During the month of December 2007, the
Art On Water Gallery
presents Travels by Lynette Yencho (click
here to
see invitation).
217 South Water Street
Northfield, MN 55057
Lynette, an artist
and illustrator (aka

the very first person to ever show financial support
to DREAMWalker Group by making a
contribution. For
which we here at DREAMWalker Group are
eternally grateful!

3) 3,200 Free Profiles and Growing!!!!!
This month we added our 3,200th
free profile -- and continue to add more day by day! At
the rate we're going, all profiles should be finished
... well, hopefully never. The day they are completed
is the day creative people stop creating -- and even
then it will takes us some time to catch up! Do us a
favor; don't ever let that happen!

4) Open Book (A Peek At Our Income)
Profiles at DREAMWalker
Group are free. So people often ask us Why is it
free? and How much money do you make?
Those questions are answered
in our Mission Statement in this newsletter
(or click here
to see it online) and at our list of
Frequently Asked Questions.
As to our income -- which
goes to defraying the costs of maintaining this
site -- here are our income numbers broken down

5) How You Can You Help
People often ask what they can do to improve their
profile and otherwise help support this free site. here
are a few ideas:
- Keep creating!
- Tell all your creative friends and associates
about my free site!!
- If you don't have a web page of your own,
consider using your profile at DREAMWalker Group as
one for purposes of marketing yourself. After all,
it's FREE!
- Create a link from your own homepage to
DREAMWalker Group's homepage (http://dreamwalkergroup.com)
or to your own profile.
- Provide me with a list of your own favorite
authors and favorite books for inclusion in your
profile.
- Tell me under what related subject headings
you'd like your profile listed (e.g. Boating,
History, Motivational, Nonfiction, etc.).
- Suggest to your publishers that they
sponsor a small ad on your profile page. These
inexpensive ads link from your profile page directly
to your publisher's website (or wherever they
choose!).
- Buy at least one book a year through my site.
If every amazing person listed on my site bought
just one item using the Amazon search box on the
home page, DREAMWalker Group would earn enough money
to keep this free site up and running for about one
and a half years!
- Let us know when your profile needs to be
changed (e.g. contact information changes, publish
new book, etc.).
- Mention DREAMWalker Group when talking to the
media!
|
Remember that DREAMWalker Group enourages and
depends upon your creativity. Please keep on
creating!
