Her name is Trina L.C. Sonnenberg, and she’s in danger of becoming part of a growing group of people in the U.S. who are in danger of losing, or have already lost their homes.
But she isn’t sitting around waiting for a bailout. She’s being proactive and using her web business to pull herself out of the mess she’s in.
Here’s her message to Social Marketing Central members:
“Since the economy has tanked, my husband is out of work. He is a building contractor, and self employed to boot. All of the projects he had in the works have collapsed because no one has any money to do them now, or they’re hanging onto every dollar they have.
As a result, we are one of the many who stand to lose their home. We’ve lived in this house for 11 years, and I cannot imagine living in a dumpy apartment with my son and disabled mother.” -Trina Sonnenberg, Author of “My Journey“
Trina’s idea for fixing the bind her and her family are in is to take what appears to have been a side business, a book of prose and photography from her area, and ramp up sales.
She’s clearly using her friend network on SMC, and surely many other social networks, to get mentions of her great book out on the web to make enough sales to turn things around. I am happy to help. It costs more than $21.95 to the tax payers of this country when a home is foreclosed on. In fact, it is estimated that it costs taxpayers around $250,000 every time a house is put in foreclosure.
One woman is trying to save this from happening to her family by getting very serious about her book sales. People who are working hard to save themselves in this economy should be rewarded.
‘My Journey‘, is a collection of verse and full color photographs. It is a compilation of the last 27 years of Trina’s life, in words and pictures. The beauty of southwestern Colorado, where she has lived happily for the past eleven years, will take your breath away. Available in paperback or download.
So take a look at Trina’s book. If you think of someone you know who could use such inspiration, please forward them to Trina’s book!
