Salon and Spa Owners:  Which Monk Are You?
Copyright (c) 2011 Dan Lok

http://www.SalonBusinessExpert.com/



Someone told me this story. It made a lot of sense to me, hope it
does for you.

Two devoted monks find themselves bound together as companions,
traveling by foot for a great distance.

At one point, they'd been traveling without a break for many
hours and they come upon a woman sitting on the edge of a river
bank crying. The woman turns to them and explains with passion
and feeling how she must get back across the river to her
children, but because she is too tired and weary... she doesn't
think she can safely cross the river again due to the strong and
steady currents.

She asks the monks would they please help her across the river,
letting them know how grateful she would be.

The two monks pause and look at one another, and immediately, the
older monk picks up the woman and safely carries her across the
river.

The older monk returns and they continue their journey. Sometime
later, the younger monk is staring at him, horrified.

See, one of the many oaths these monks had taken, was to never
EVER touch a woman.

And the younger monk simply doesn't understand how the older
monk could, in good conscience, violate this most important oath.

However, too intimated to ask the older monk, the younger monk
says nothing, and the two of them carry on for the remainder of
their journey.

One hour passes... then two ... and then a third hour.

And all during this time, the tension is building inside the
younger monk. He simply can NOT understand how the older monk had
the audacity to pick up that woman and carry her across the
river.

Finally, after four hours, the young monk can no longer contain
himself, and he gushes forth, "Sir, how could you have picked up
that woman back there on the river bed?"

To which the old monk replies, "Oh, are you still carrying her
around? I put her down four hours ago."

Too many salon and spa owners are carrying around a lot hurts,
regrets, guilt, past failures and fears about the future. They
carry them around like a sack of rocks on their backs. The sad
thing is they carry these things around voluntarily. No one is
forcing you to carry these emotional rocks.

Your mind could care less whether or not you are burdened with
these issues, or... whether you put them down on the side of the
river bed. However, how your life turns out, the amount of
success, love and happiness you experience... is directly related
to how big that sack is on your back, and how long you want to
carry it around for.

I don't know about you, but to me... it makes a lot of sense to
put that sack down. Is it time you put your sack down?

Wealthy Salon/Spa Owners View Problems As an Opportunity To Grow, Struggling
Salon/Spa Owners Don't!
Copyright (c) 2011 Dan Lok
Salon Business Expert
http://www.SalonBusinessExpert.com/



Wealthy salon/spa owners view challenges and problems like
bodybuilders see weight; an opportunity for some resistance to
build a life with and grow. Body builders call it resistance
training and they choose to do it. They actually like to work out
even though it is hard work.

On the other hand, struggling salon/spa owners avoid problems and
challenges. They try to bury them, avoid them at all costs. They
create distractions like all kinds of busy work, drama and
excuses just so they can avoid the problem for another day or
week.

What is ironic is that it takes the same or more energy to avoid
a challenge or problem as it does to solve the challenge. It
takes ongoing mental energy to keep pushing problems out of the
mind. It is real work to constantly distract oneself from the
problem and challenge at hand to keep distracting yourself.

We have a choice to make ourselves either miserable or to make
ourselves strong. The sad tragedy is that is takes the same
amount of work and energy.

It is like a struggling salon/spa owner thinks their job is to
avoid problems and challenges. And by avoiding them they are
creating even more misery than they avoid.

It's not the problems or challenges themselves that make them
miserable as they think. Struggling salon/spa owners own
deliberate act of avoidance is what lowers their energy, esteem
and self respect.

Too often the struggling salon/spa owners think they must avoid
embarrassment. "What is my staff going to think?" is one of the
questions that pops into their minds before considering any
action. "What if they see that I don't know exactly what I am
doing?"

This habit about worrying about other people's judgments and
avoiding embarrassment starts typically begins in junior high and
too often it never leaves us. We start to form our permanent
identities in junior high.

Did we do this by design? Of course not! Who knowingly choose a
life designed by a teenager? But that's exactly what we've
done. Struggling salon/spa owners try to live their lives
designed by teenagers. No wonder they are struggling.

The first step on the path to becoming a wealthy salon/spa owner
is to see how you got here. Struggling salon/spa owners feel
stuck inside their personality not realizing that they have a
strong will and spirit deeper inside of them. They have been
brainwashed by "who they are" instead of focusing on who they
can be.

Wealthy salon/spa owners know that they so much more then sum
total of their problems and challenges. They are willing to rise
above their personalities of who they think they are. They are
willing to take the risk of being embarrassed. They are focusing
their energies on overcoming the challenge not worrying about
what others say or think.

Question: How often are you willing to face your challenges a
problems head on?

Raise Responsible Children
Copyright (c) 2011 Marvin Marshall, Ed.D.
http://www.DisciplineWithoutStress.com/




If you find that disciplining your children and fostering a sense
of responsibility in them is stressful or unsuccessful, the use
of traditional parenting approaches may be the problem. Why?
Because traditional parenting approaches, including using
lectures, rewards, and punishments, rely on external motivators
to change the child's behavior and aim to obtain obedience and
compliance. But telling young people what to do, rewarding them
if they do as expected, and threatening or punishing them if they
don't are counterproductive, increase stress, and diminish
strong parent/child relationships.

In fact, whether the approach is telling-based, rewards-based, or
punishment-based, the bottom line is that it's manipulation,
which is never permanent. All these approaches are something you
do to another person and have little long-lasting effect. This is
in contrast to collaboration (working with a person).

The irony of manipulating behavior is that the more you use it in
an attempt to control children, the less real influence you exert
over them. Clearly, manipulation breeds resentment. In addition,
if children behave because they are forced to behave, the parent
has not really succeeded. True responsibility means behaving
appropriately because children want to, not because they have to.

The challenge for parents is raising a child who will do the
right thing even when there is no threat of punishment, no lure
of a reward, and no lecture before and after the act. So how do
you do that? Following are some parenting techniques you can try
today that don't use punishments, rewards, or lectures and that
internally motivate children to act responsibly.

  * Challenge the Child Every time you try to make children do
something or not do something, the children will likely resist.
Children interpret the request as an attempt to control them, and
no one likes feeling controlled. However, virtually all children
enjoy a good challenge. They like to show off their talents and
prove how good they are at things. So instead of trying to force
a behavior, challenge your children to show responsible behavior.

For example, suppose you have a four-year-old son, and every time
you try to get the family in the car, your son jumps into the
driver's seat and refuses to move back to his car seat. Rather
than bribe him into the backseat, threaten to take away his
favorite toy, or talk for 30 minutes about why he needs to be
safe in his car seat, offer a challenge. You could say, "I bet
I'm faster. I bet it will take you longer to get into the
backseat and buckle your seatbelt than it will for me lock the
front door and come back to the car." Then watch how fast the
little one jumps to his car seat.

Young children often know what to do. Having them demonstrate
responsible behavior merely takes some creativity, namely, "What
can I say or do to prompt them in a way that they interpret it as
a challenge rather than an attempt to control them?"

  * Put the Child in Charge Everyone likes being in charge of
something, even something small. Adults and children alike need a
sense that something in their world is within their control.
Therefore, if you want your children to exhibit responsible
behavior, put them in charge of the exact behavior you want them
to display.

For example, suppose you have a school-aged daughter who is
always getting up from the table during dinner, thereby
disrupting the environment you want to maintain during mealtime.
In this case, think of the exact opposite behavior of what your
daughter is doing and put her in charge of that responsibility.
You could say, "Hanna, I need your help. I want you to be in
charge of having all members of the family remain seated during
dinner. Can you handle this?"

When put in control of something, children will always perform
the appropriate behavior because incongruity (doing the opposite
of what the person is in charge of) is very difficult for young
people. This approach to changing behavior immediately is
foolproof. If it doesn't work, reflect: Did you think of the
exact opposite? Did you use the exact wording of putting the
person in charge and phrasing the responsibility in positive
terms?

  * Use Creative Phrasing Rather than scold children or talk down
to them, use creative phrasing with a youngster who has done
something that shouldn't have been done, has misbehaved, or has
had to suffer the results of a bad choice. For example, you could
say, "I know you didn't mean for that to happen. What went
wrong?"

This phrasing sends the message that you think highly of the
child regardless of the negative situation and that you know the
child didn't want to end up with the bad results. It
demonstrates empathy and opens the gate for the young person to
think back over the whole issue without getting defensive.

Make the Responsible Choice As a parent or caregiver, your goal
is to assist children to become responsible, self-reliant,
independent problem solvers; yet, external approaches set up
young people to be dependent upon an external agent. Therefore,
the ultimate goal should not be to have the child obey and keep
parents happy. The ultimate goal is that young people act in a
responsible way because it pays off for them; it is in their own
and others' best interests. Using the strategies outlined here
will help give your children both roots and wings. You will find
yourself on the parenting journey of raising responsible kids,
with less stress and more enjoyment for everyone involved.

to them, use creative phrasing with a youngster who has done
something that shouldn't have been done, has misbehaved, or has
had to suffer the results of a bad choice. For example, you could
say, "I know you didn't mean for that to happen. What went
wrong?"

This phrasing sends the message that you think highly of the
child regardless of the negative situation and that you know the
child didn't want to end up with the bad results. It
demonstrates empathy and opens the gate for the young person to
think back over the whole issue without getting defensive.

Make the Responsible Choice As a parent or caregiver, your goal
is to assist children to become responsible, self-reliant,
independent problem solvers; yet, external approaches set up
young people to be dependent upon an external agent. Therefore,
the ultimate goal should not be to have the child obey and keep
parents happy. The ultimate goal is that young people act in a
responsible way because it pays off for them; it is in their own
and others' best interests. Using the strategies outlined here
will help give your children both roots and wings. You will find
yourself on the parenting journey of raising responsible kids,
with less stress and more enjoyment for everyone involved.

The Drama of the Dating Game
Copyright (c) 2011 Clarence Lee
Dating Legend
http://www.datinglegend.com/



Dating is tough. You spend time getting to know someone and
deciding whether the two of you are compatible. Then you work
your way up to the big question, "Will you go out with me?"

Then you sweat the answer... Will he/she say yes? What could
possibly go wrong?

That Murphy's Law guy says, "If it can go wrong, it will go
wrong."

On the edge of your seat, you wait for the answer...

Will it be yes or no?

If it is a no, you have to go find someone else willing to talk
to you and go through the same process once again.

If it is a yes, then Mr. Murphy comes along and says, "If it can
go wrong, it will go wrong."

So you go on that first date.

Will he/she think I eat too much?

Is there food in my teeth?

We get nervous, because we want the person we are with to like us
enough to go on a second date.

First it is dinner, then a movie... Folks still do that right? Or
am I just old-fashioned?

During dinner, we try small talk. And unfortunately, the more
uncomfortable the two of us are -- the more nervous we are -- the
more likely we will both struggle to figure out what to talk
about.

Have you ever been on one of those dates where the two of you
simply had nothing in common? And the two of you could not find a
conversation starter to start the night right?

I have had successful dates... Shoot, I have been married at
least once.

And I have had disaster dates...

After doing this dating thing for too many years, I have learned
that if you leave the restaurant without striking an excited
conversation, then the relationship is doomed... Ask my ex-wife,
she will verify this...

But, if you strike the conversation with someone that is a good
match for you, then you may not leave the restaurant until they
restaurant staff throws you out of the building... Ah... Good
times... Ask my current wife!

When I was dating my first wife, we saw A LOT of movies...

When I was dating my second wife, I don't think we ever saw a
movie until we had been married for a couple years!

My best bud used dating sites to find his current fiancee.
Interestingly, my friend found that his experience with dating
was very similar to my own...

He figured out that the women that he would chat with online,
with whom he hit it off quickly, were women whom he dated for a
long time...

And those who could not carry a conversation with him never made
it to the same chat room twice!

Some people harass my buddy about looking for women on a dating
site, but dating really is not that different between offline and
online...

The biggest difference I think is something that I would consider
a benefit... You get the chance to figure out if the two of you
have something worth talking about, before you drop $30 on
dinner!

You get to find out if the two of you are compatible and
attracted to each other, before having to get dressed in your
best clothes, drive across town, and share a meal with a
stranger...

Not that I think I will see the inside of a divorce court again,
but if I did, I have faith in the idea that I have this dating
thing figured out... And what is different about online dating is
that I don't have to waste money on dinner to find out that the
woman I am talking to now is not right for me.

How Safe Is Your Pet's Flea and Tick Killer?
Copyright (c) 2011 Gary  Le Mon
Natural Wonder Pets
http://www.natural-wonder-pets.com



Laboratory studies of ingredients in seven popular flea and tick
control products reveal adverse health effects in all animals
tested. The effects of these well known and aggressively marketed
products range from convulsions, body tremors and labored
breathing to thyroid cancer, brain lesions, and liver and lung
tumors. Yet TV commercials with trusty looking veterinarians
pitch only the happy side of these products.

Which flea and tick pesticide are you using on your dog and/or
cat? If your favorite treatment contains the active ingredient
Fipronil, Imidacloprid, Methoprene, Permethrin, Pyriproxyfen or
the inert ingredient Butyldydroxytoluene, Butylhydroxanisole,
Carbitol, Ethanol, or Polyvinlpyrrplidone, you need to know about
the not-so-happy side of these products as well.

If you think your veterinarian or local pet store would never
sell you such a sinister poison, think again.

Advantage (Bayer Corporation), Adams Spot-On Flea and Tick
Control (Farnam Pet Products), BioSpot Flea and Tick Control
(Farnam Pet Products), Defend EXspot Treatment (Schering-Plough
Animal Health), Frontline Top Spot (Merial Limited), Frontline
Plus (Merial Limited), and Zodiac FleaTrol Spot On (Wellmark
International) - all contain one or more of the aforementioned
active or inert ingredients.

Toxicology and morbidity findings from these pesticide products
were gathered over a decade of laboratory testing by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency; Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor; Extension
Toxicology Network; Journal of Pesticide Reform; Pesticide Action
Network North America and other sources, with additional
information supplied by Material Safety Data Sheets.

Most laboratory testing was performed for the benefit of new
product manufacturers in order to qualify for EPA registration.
Scientists overdose laboratory animals to determine how much of
the product will kill 50% of the test population. Information is
then extrapolated and assumptions made that may apply to domestic
animals and human beings.

According to laboratory tests, Fipronil (Frontline Top Spot and
Frontline Plus) is a neurotoxin and suspected human cancer agent.
Fipronil can cause liver toxicity, thyroid cancer, kidney damage,
raised cholesterol, lack of coordination, labored breathing,
miscarriages and stunted offspring.

Laboratory testing of Imidacloprid (Advantage) on mice, dogs and
rats shows this insecticide to be neurotoxic to laboratory
animals, also causing a breakdown of coordination, labored
breathing, lesions of the thyroid, reduced birth weight, and
increased birth defects.

The synthetic broad spectrum pyrethroid insecticide Permethrin
(Adams Spot-on Flea and Tick Control; BioSpot Flea and Tick
Control; and Defend EXspot Treatment) shows indications of being
an endocrine disrupter and the cause of lung cancer and liver
tumors in laboratory animals.

Methoprene and Pyriproxyfen (Zodiac FleaTrol Spot On; and BioSpot
Flea and Tick Control) are known as insect growth regulators
(IGR), both of which restrict the growth of fleas to the juvenile
stage where reproduction is not possible. Laboratory testing
reveals that Methoprene causes enlarged livers and degeneration
of the kidneys.

Please don't misunderstand me. I am not suggesting that your
veterinarian or local pet store would knowingly sell you poison.
Few people actually read EPA's test results. Fewer still want to
hear about the many laboratory test subjects (unwanted dogs and
cats) killed during and after the studies in order to determine
damage to specific systems and organs.

But it only takes a few people with straightforward thinking to
bring about change. Are you ready to stop this insanity? There
are effective alternatives, as you know.

Today there are totally natural flea and tick remedies -
completely harmless to kids, pets and the environment - made
from pure botanical essential oils. Some natural products work
fairly well, some don't, and some work much better than the
toxic stuff!

The mode of action - the way these natural remedies kill fleas
and ticks - is to disrupt the insect's ability to function by
blocking a substance called octopamine. In nature, certain plants
have developed a natural defense against bugs. These "octopamine
blockers" in plants are extracted as oils and used as active
ingredients. Octopamine to an insect is what adrenalin is to a
human. When blocked from the system, the insect quickly dies. No
muss, no fuss. Nobody gets hurt but the bug.

Please begin today to stop supporting the heartless laboratory
testing of innocent animals, the insidious cover-up and rush to
market of big business, and the unwitting harm we may be doing to
our children, our pets, and our planet.

3 Bacterial Vaginosis Remedies You Can Start Using Today
Copyright (c) 2011 Louise Endago
Endago.net
http://Endago.net/



Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection, so
it's no surprise that there are hundreds of different bacterial
vaginosis remedies out there for you to try.

But having too many options is a problem in itself. You obviously
want the one treatment that will give you the best results. But
unfortunately different treatments work differently for different
women, so it helps to know a handful of the best treatments that
other women have tried and tested FOR you.

Another thing you ought to keep in mind is that one treatment
alone usually just doesn't cut it, especially if you have had
bacterial vaginosis for a while. Your best bet is to use a
combination of different bacterial vaginosis remedies, each
remedy supplementing the other through a different mode of
action.

So in this article I'll be telling you about 3 different
bacterial vaginosis remedies that you should be using together in
COMBINATION. And this isn't any old random combination, it's
one that REAL WOMEN have used time and time again with an
excellent rate of success.

So here's your list of...

3 Powerful Bacterial Vaginosis Remedies

BV Remedy #1: Hydrogen Peroxide

This is a very powerful treatment indeed. Hydrogen peroxide is a
substance that is naturally present inside every healthy vagina.
Good bacteria inside your vagina naturally produce hydrogen
peroxide in order to kill off the bad bacteria. For this reason,
hydrogen peroxide is one of the few bactericidal remedies that
kills ONLY the bad bacteria and leaves the good ones alone.
That's why hydrogen peroxide is so effective. Here's how to use
it.

Take 1/4 cup (60 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide and mix it with 1/4
cup of water (preferably distilled). Apply as a douche 1 to 2
times per day, for 3 days (maximum 5 days). This gives most women
IMMEDIATE relief from the bad smells and excess vaginal
discharge.

As effective as hydrogen peroxide is in the immediate sense, its
effects don't last very long for most women, not when you use it
on its own. That's where the folic acid and acidophilus comes
in.

BV Remedy #2: Acidophilus

One strain of good bacteria inside your vagina is called
lactobacillus acidophilus. You can take acidophilus tablets to
increase the number of good bacteria inside your vagina. If you
don't like tablets, you can also take natural unpasteurized
yogurts that contain live strains of acidophilus bacteria.

Once the hydrogen peroxide has killed off the bad bacteria, you
can take acidophilus to help replenish the colony of good
bacteria inside your vagina. These good bacteria then release
more hydrogen peroxide naturally. They also release other
chemicals such as lactic acid, which kill off more of the bad
bacteria and prevent them from growing back.

Acidophilus doesn't work very well on its own, because it isn't
very good at killing off the overgrown bad bacteria that you get
in bacterial vaginosis. But when used in combination with
hydrogen peroxide, its effects have been shown to be extremely
powerful.

Acidophilus tablets and yogurts can be used both orally and
vaginally. Studies have shown the oral route to provide longer
lasting results, whereas the vaginal route produces more
immediate results.

The Oral Route...

Take 2-3 acidophilus pills orally for at least 1 month. Or take
150ml natural unpasteurized yogurt containing live acidophilus
twice daily for at least 1 month.

The Vaginal Route...

Insert one vaginal acidophilus suppository AFTER each hydrogen
peroxide douche. Or apply unpasteurized yogurt containing live
acidophilus bacteria liberally inside your vagina using an
applicator or spoon. Do this at night AFTER your hydrogen
peroxide douche, and be sure to wear a non-deodorized pad to
avoid soiling your underwear. The vaginal route is to be used for
no longer than 7 consecutive days.

BV Remedy #3: Folic Acid

Folic acid is the icing on the cake here. It uses a whole
different approach and is thought to help cure BV by modulating
and strengthening the immune system. Sure, it CAN be used on its
own to help cure BV, but it is best used in combination with
other more direct bacterial vaginosis remedies like the two
mentioned above.

A number of scientific studies have demonstrated that women who
take folic acid, or have a high intake of folate in their diet,
are far less likely to get bacterial vaginosis. The exact mode of
action of folic acid is uncertain, but it can certainly be
attributed at least partially to the effect it has on
strengthening your immune system.

I advise you to take 800 micrograms in 2 divided doses every day.
So that's 400 micrograms twice a day. The recommended daily
allowance for non-pregnant women is 400 micrograms per day, but I
have found that taking a higher dose helps in the short term for
boosting the immune system to help cure BV. And don't worry,
it's perfectly safe to take 800 micrograms per day. The
extra-cautious, safe upper limit is 1,000 micrograms per day.

Women who take these 3 bacterial vaginosis remedies - hydrogen
peroxide, acidophilus and folic acid in combination have been
found to permanently cure their BV far more often than when they
use any one or two of the treatments alone.

So why not get started today? If you have been suffering from
BV, then you owe it to yourself to take action right now. For

Online Marketing: Free and Low Cost Strategies That Make More Sales
Copyright (c) 2011 Robert Dempsey
Itinerant Entrepreneur
http://www.ItinerantEntrepreneur.com/



The good news is that regardless of the continued massive growth
of the Internet, the rules of business haven't changed -
fundamental business strategy still applies. You start with your
ideal customer, you find out what their biggest problems are, you
then find or create solutions for those problems, and finally you
put the solution in front of the customer and the sale is made.

The even better news is that what has changed is our ability to
reach more of our next customers at less cost - is it much
greater today and is expanding. That comes with its own set of
challenges.

When it comes down to it, there are two types of online
strategies we can use, 1: free and low-cost, and 2: paid. Free
and low-cost go together because even though some of these
strategies might be free in terms of cost, they are definitely
not free in terms of time. For now, let's look at the former.

Free and Low-Cost  As mentioned before, free and low-cost
strategies are those that are extremely inexpensive dollar-wise,
and more expensive time wise. The most popular and effective in
use today are:

  * Blogging * Social media * Email marketing * Search engine
optimization

Blogging  Every business should have a blog and post at a minimum
one article per week. Blogging can help to build or strengthen
expert status in your industry; it can show customers that you
know what you're talking about and can really help them. These
articles can then be syndicated to a larger audience in social
media - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others.

Many blogging platforms are free. A great way to start out is
using WordPress. Out of the box WordPress has a lot of features -
everything you need for a blog. In addition, there are thousands
of free plugins you can use to add features to your blog that can
enhance the search engine optimization, create contact forms,
automatically send blog posts to social media, and many more. If
you can't find what you need for free, there are many paid
plugins for less than $100 that also come with support.

Social Media  As business becomes increasingly personal once
again, participation in social media is a must. This doesn't
mean you have to sit on Twitter all day and watch the tweets roll
in - that would be a complete waste of time. Rather, you can set
up custom searches for the main keywords of your business, and
engage with the people that use them. You never know when you'll
be talking to your next customer or raving fan.

There is a new breed of customer relationship applications
maturing in the category of social CRM. The purpose of these
applications, typically web-based, are to help you cut through
all the "useless" chatter on social media so you can focus in
on potential customers. One such application currently in beta is
Commun.it.

Email Marketing  A cliche in Internet Marketing is, "the money
is in the list." What is meant by this is that if you have a
relationship with a large group of people via email, you can make
buying recommendations that they will act on, due to the
relationship. For the most part that's true.

A great use of email marketing is for lead nurturing. Not
everyone that visits a website is ready to buy. Some people are
looking for information and some are comparing competitive
offerings. If you're lucky some will come with credit card in
hand; but most aren't. That's where lead nurturing comes into
play.

With most email marketing solutions you can set up an automatic
sequence of emails to go out to your email list on a schedule -
this is an autoresponder. You can mix in broadcast emails that
provide timely information to your subscribers. To get people to
join your list you offer then an ethical bribe such as a video,
ebook, or other piece of information that offers value.
Regardless, the point is to deliver a steady flow of value that
builds the relationship to the point where the prospect follows
your call to action and makes a purchase.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)  This is the stuff of myths and
legends, and really seems to be a dash of science with a heaping
tablespoon of alchemy. Without going overboard though it comes
down to a basic principle: Google is in the business of providing
its customers (searchers) with the most relevant results so they
keep coming back, seeing and clicking on ads, and Google makes
billions. So what does relevant mean? It means that the
information and experience you provide around a set of keywords
or phrases is better than anyone else.

Is that a bit of an over simplification? Yes, but we could talk
about SEO for months and not go anywhere. So for now, keep in
mind that relevant content and user experience is what Google
cares about; provide that to people and you'll rise in the
rankings.

Which Way To Go?  With all these options it's difficult to see
which way to go. And the answer isn't "it depends" but rather
in what order to do everything you've read about. And here's
the answer to that:

   * Start with content. Create a blog if you haven't already and
start writing content that will help your ideal customer. *
Create a free report or a video and create an email list. Give
people the free report in exchange for their email. Be sure that
you limit the amount of sales pitch in this free report - if you
want to keep people as subscribers they need to get value. * Sign
up for a free Twitter account. Don't jump in head first but
rather do some searches around the keywords and phrases that best
define your business. Take note of how people use those words,
and also note who uses them. After a few weeks you'll know how
best to approach people and strike up some conversations. *
Search engine optimization - with all of your content do one
thing: write for your ideal customer. Whoever that person is,
write to solve their problems. Once you're doing that, you can
dig into more advanced strategies.

The Final Step  With this primer in hand, there's only one thing
left to do - go make it happen! Start a blog, join Twitter,
create a free report and set up an email list, and start writing
content for your ideal customer. Do those four things and you'll
be well on your way to making many more sales.

Should You Make Money Online With One Website Or Several?
Copyright (c) 2011 Alan Cheng
Elite Ghostwriters
http://www.eliteghostwriters.com/



There's a common problem faced by new and experienced internet
marketers. After reading a ton of information on internet
marketing, the majority are confused as to what they should do
for their online business.

Many will believe that creating 5 websites to make money is
better than relying on 1 website. This seems like common sense
but in fact, it is very wrong. Who said earning a lot of money
requires common sense? If so, the majority of people would be
rich and not the other way round.

If you want to succeed online you need to focus on 1 website. At
least until it becomes very successful. There are several reasons
for this.

1. Focus Never mind having several websites. Even if you create 2
websites, it's very hard to make both of them excellent and
start making a good number of sales. It's much easier to focus
on 1 website.

More and more people are saying that multi-tasking actually
decreases the quality of results. This is exactly what you're
doing when you're working on several websites at the same time.

2. Not enough time If you have many websites, you will need to
upload several pieces of content to each of them. When something
goes wrong with one of the websites, it is unlikely that you'll
know instantly because you have so many sites to deal with.

Basically you don't have enough time to work on several projects
unless you hire a team.

3. Results Imagine what would happen if you focused all your
efforts on a 1 website instead of 3? You would achieve your goals
at least 3 times as fast.

As soon as your website launches, you can put all your effort
into making it an authority site. This is how successful
entrepreneurs run businesses.

Unless you have an experienced team that you can rely on, you
won't be able to produce more than one good website while
dealing with many different things at the same time.

A lot of work is required when creating a website. If you make a
list of tasks that you need to build a website to sell a product,
you'll know that you need a lot more time than you initially
thought.

Here are the tasks required for a typical site selling an eBook:

  * Creating the front-end product

  * Getting graphics developed

  * Writing the sales letter

  * Creating an offer for the exit pop-up page

  * Configuring your autoresponder for subscribers and buyers list
andwriting follow up messages

  * Creating a product for the up-sell

  * Creating a sales letter for the up-sell

  * Creating an affiliate page with marketing tools

  * Marketing your product by writing articles, pay per click,
banner advertisement, contacting affiliate partners, etc.

Look at each of these tasks. They are all essential if you want
your online business to succeed. Each of these tasks requires a
lot of dedicated work. Creating a website to sell an eBook or
service will take you 2 months if you're not familiar with the
work.

Bear in mind that I've left out relatively simple tasks from the
list which can take up several more hours of your time such as
setting up the exit pop-up script, creating the download page and
putting up your privacy policy and disclaimer page.

This is one of the reasons why a lot of internet marketers fail
to make money online. They don't see the big picture of what is
required to create an online business.

They get distracted by following product launches, buying new
information products and browsing in forums. These distractions
will delay their progress in launching their site and soon they
would lose interest with the project and want to focus on other
things.

This happens every day. Marketers will have an idea that they are
passionate about but after several months they will want to do
something else. This is why making money online is so hard.

The entrepreneur has several options they can take to fix this:

1. Block out all distractions This is common sense. If you stop
reading forums, stop reading emails on the latest promotions and
turn off your Skype etc…you can get your project done a lot
quicker.

However, this is easier said than done. It takes a lot of self
discipline.

2. Leave out some tasks You can still launch your new product or
service by having only a few follow up messages to your
subscribers and customers, eliminating the exit pop-up offer,
removing the up-sell and not having an affiliate system in place
with promotion tools.

This will give you the bare minimum for a product site but
you'll be leaving a lot of money on the table. It is proven that
the bulk of the money made with an online business is in the
up-sell and by having a good relationship with your list.

Leaving out these important tasks is the same as not picking up
money from the floor when you see it.

3. Outsource This is the most common route entrepreneurs take
when they launch a new product site. They will outsource a lot of
the process to a company or individual so that they can free up
their time to do tasks that they enjoy such as promoting the
business.

This is an ideal alternative to doing the work yourself but it is
costly. Unless you are very confident that your product will sell
and you will make a lot of money in the back-end, outsourcing can
be a bad investment.

A mistake that a lot of entrepreneurs make is hiring the cheapest
ghostwriter or freelancer that they can find. They would look for
a 40 page eBook to be written for $300 or a sales letter for
$200. The fact is, you won't get good quality work for this kind
of price.

Companies and individuals, who know they can deliver quality,
will spend time in doing the work for you and charge what they
are worth. Outsourcing your online business to a company will
cost you over a thousand dollars easily. But you will receive a
quality product that you can sell.

The quickest way to succeed online is to create a product or
service to and your business as a market leader. You'll need to
make the website complete with an affiliate program and up-sells.
Doing this with 2 or more websites at the same time is out of the
question.

If you can afford the money, consider outsourcing your online
business including the product creation. This will free up your
time, ensure you have a quality sales funnel and allow you to
focus on marketing your business.

The Powerful Antioxidant You Cannot Eat Or Drink
Copyright (c) 2011 Nate Rifkin
The Secret Life Changing Exercise
http://TheSecretLifeChangingExercise.com/



Have you ever taken a bite out of an apple and then set it down
for a while?

What happens?

The inner part of the apple will start to turn from a nice yellow
to a gross-looking brown. And if you leave it sitting there long
enough, and the apple will eventually rot - fast. This is called
oxidative damage. Electrons within the apple are getting ripped
out by the air.

Here's the scary part: The same thing is happening to your
body…right now. Unlike the apple, your body has natural
defenses against oxidative damage, which is why you don't turn
into a pile of dead mush within a few hours after being born.

However, these natural defenses wear down and begin losing the
battle after a certain period of time.

Here's another question for you: When did you start feeling
"old?" What's the age when you notice men and women around you
start getting wrinkles and thinning hair?

If you said in the early 40s, there's a very good reason. At
approximately 42-43 years of age, the human body begins losing
the battle against oxidative damage and begins to wrinkle and rot
just like an apple after you take a bite out of it.

But there is hope. You can use the power of antioxidants to
battle this free radical damage. I'm sure you've heard the
advice to eat fresh fruits and vegetables because of their
antioxidant content but there's another powerful antioxidant
which has nothing to do with food or drink:

Deep breathing.

Believe it or not, easy deep breathing is an antioxidant which
helps prevent free radical damage. This means deep breathing is
not just good for you on the inside...but you'll end up looking
better on the outside as well.

And you didn't have to eat or drink anything.

But the health benefits of deep breathing don't end there. In
fact, very few people understand just how powerful this practice
can be...because they don't know how to do it.

Here are the secrets:

1. Place one hand on your belly and the other hand on your chest.

2. Begin breathing through your nose, and your goal is to feel
the breath move your lower hand, while the hand on your chest
remains still. This way, you activate your diaphragm when you
breathe. Unless you do this, you're taking normal shallow
breaths and will not get the antioxidant effect.

3. Take ten slow breaths and focus on filling your belly and
entire torso from the bottom up. Even though your lungs are much
smaller than your entire upper body, imagining they're bigger
helps increase the power of this exercise.

Practice this for a few minutes every day, and an amazing thing
will happen. You will develop the practice of breathing like this
all the time, so you don't even have to think about it. When
this happens, you'll notice you have more energy, you'll feel
more relaxed, and yes you will look better in the mirror.

3 Tips For Building Relationships That Last
Copyright (c) 2011 Clarence Lee
Dating Legend
http://www.datinglegend.com/



You know, to hear people talk about the difficulties of the
dating process, you would think it is impossible for two people
to come together in a mutually beneficial relationship...

How many people do YOU know who have said that they have "given
up" on finding their "soul mate" or another person to call
their "special someone"?

But, what are they really saying when they say that they have
"given up" on finding someone to call their own?

They are actually trying to say that they want someone, but they
have never had a relationship go the way they had hoped for it to
go, and they don't know how to fix the problems that have caused
them to struggle in previous relationships.

If I am actually talking about you, I know you don't want to
hear what I am getting ready to say, but in order for you to find
a solution to the problems that have plagued your relationships
in the past, you must first understand exactly "why" things
have never gone right before now.

There are actually three factors that destroy most relationships,
and those are the things I will be discussing in this article.

Those three all-important factors in the dating relationship are:

1. Communication;

2. Empathy; and

3. Commitment.

Now understand, you may possess all three of these things or none
of them. But in order for a relationship to work, both parties in
the relationship must possess all three qualities.

Some of your relationships might have failed because your partner
lacked one or all three of these key ingrediants for a successful
relationship.

Other relationships may have failed because you lacked one or all
three of these important traits.

More often, neither party is truly to blame, but rather both of
you have held a small role in the disintigration of the
relationship.

I know that is tough to accept. And I know it may not be
something that you want to hear. But please accept what I am
telling you at face value.

To know the truth of your soul, you must look deep inside
yourself for the answers to the questions of your life.

I know it is easy for you to say, "He was a jerk!! And he did
this, that and another thing."

And maybe it is okay to tell your friends those stories, if it
makes you feel better about yourself.

But when you are at home alone, wondering about how your life has
managed the path that it has, you are left only with yourself.
Tell us what you want us to hear. But listen deep inside your
soul for the truth that will "set you free".

As they say about alcoholics, the first step towards recovery is
admitting that you have a problem.

Relationships are much the same way.

So long as you are committed to living in denial, you will never
find the relationship success you seek, because you will
continually deny those things that are killing your
relationships. Denial simply gives you an excuse to keep doing
those things that destroy your relationships, without encouraging
yourself to make the changes you need to make to erase those
problem traits within your own behavior.

It is like they say about any story, "He said, she said, and the
truth is somewhere in the middle."

"The truth is somewhere in the middle," is a common phrase,
because it is human nature to always try to put the best-face on
your own behavior in any situation.

Right or wrong, and who to blame is not a decision for "me" to
make.

I am not looking to place blame on you or your previous partner.

All I am saying is that you can lie to me, and you can lie to
your friends, but when you are in your room alone, you cannot lie
to yourself.

To strengthen your future relationships, you must be willing to
openly communicate with your lover or spouse.

You must share empathy for the person you are with. In other
words, you must care more about "how they feel" than what you
want to get out of a situation.

And you must commit yourself to working through any problems that
might come your way.

Step up to the plate and take responsibility for your own
behavior, and then see to it that your "significant other" is
willing to take responsibility for their own actions and accept
that communication, empathy and commitment is required for any
relationship to succeed.

If You Want To Get There Faster, You're Going To Have To Pay

See TERMS OF REPRINT to the end of the article.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. Paid marketing methods can

If You Want To Get There Faster, You're Going To Have To Pay
Copyright (c) 2011 Robert Dempsey
Itinerant Entrepreneur
http://www.ItinerantEntrepreneur.com/



If you want to get further faster, you're going to have to open
your wallet and use some paid options. There is something for
everyone, and each method can suit practically every budget. But
how do you know which will work best for you? Let's explore the
options.

First though, a word of warning.

With a plethora of free marketing opportunities available
including blogging and social media, it can be easy to get sucked
into the "always free" mode of operating. And while free is
great, it takes longer to see results, and sometimes you get what
you pay for. So as you read this article keep in mind that you
want to have free mixed in, but not be beholden to any single
source of customers. And if you want to reach your goals faster,
you've got to pay.

Having said that, let's take a look at the most popular options
available today.

The Immaturity Of The Internet Television is a mature media.
There are channels that can reach every demographic everywhere in
the world. It's highly segmented. Online marketing and
advertising hasn't quite reached that point, but with the reach
of the web and the large number of websites popping up on a daily
basis, we're just about there.

Let's take a look at some of the most popular paid options
available today.

Pay-Per-Click (And It's Relatives) Google made a mint with those
highly targeted text ads; it still does. If you've done your
keyword research and have the language of your market, you can
use pay-per-click (PPC) to validate niche markets and get highly
targeted visitors to your website. But Google isn't the only
game in town.

Yahoo!/Bing has a great PPC network which can also bring highly
relevant visitors and might cost less than what you'd pay on
Google. Advice here is to launch campaigns on both and see where
you get the most bang for your buck, measured using the
combination of a high click through rate (CTR) and low cost per
click (CPC).

Pay per click has a lot of relatives too with varying rules and
return on investment. A few are:

  * Cost Per Action (CPA)

  * Cost Per View (CPV)

  * Cost Per Lead(CPL)

Paid Ad Placements Paid ad placements come in a few forms. You
can purchase banner advertisements on websites relevant to your
products and services, as well as place graphic ads in email
newsletters. A huge benefit of these placements is the
demographic targeting. If you want to reach marketers you can do
that; if you want to reach software developers you can do that;
if you want to reach working mothers that have young children
with acute health problems, you can do that too.

There are literally websites for every audience today, and many
of those sites have email newsletters. Paid advertisements are
one of the top ways website owners make money, so as a purchaser
you can have your pick based on your budget.

Affiliate Programs Affiliate programs aren't "open your
wallet" kind of things, however you are paying someone else to
bring you customers. Affiliate marketing is a huge business, as
evidenced by the laws enacted in many states to tax online
purchases. Regardless, every business can take advantage of
having an affiliate program, and many do.

Have you ever paid someone a "finder's fee" for referring you
a customer? That's an informal affiliate program of sorts.
Resellers are affiliates too - they sell a product someone else
makes, and take care of a bulk of the marketing and sales.

So you might already have one of these programs in place, albeit
an informal one.

Reasons To Go Paid As mentioned in the beginning of this article,
a major reason to open your wallet is to get to your goals
faster. Free methods are free in terms of money, but not in time
- they can take a long time to return a result, if they ever do.

As much as it sounds like an oxymoron, using methods like PPC can
actually save you money and time. There are few better market
validation strategies than setting up a survey and sending
targeted, highly relevant visitors to it. You can find out if a
market is worth your time or not, very quickly.

Long story short, don't discard paid strategies even if you
think you can't afford them - it simply isn't true. Start your
efforts small and go from there. In combination with the free
methods, you'll be on your way to more leads and more customers.

The Hidden Secret To Achieving Your Dreams, Goals, And Desires
Copyright (c) 2011 Nate Rifkin
The Secret Life Changing Exercise
http://TheSecretLifeChangingExercise.com/



What if I told you there is a secret all successful men and women
use…and most of them don't even realize they're using it
consciously. Which is why it has remained hidden from you until
now.

To prepare you for this one secret, I have to ask you: What is
the one thing blocking you from achieving all your dreams, goals,
and desires? And I'm not talking about your current
circumstances, or lack of money, or bad luck. What is mentally
stopping you?

If you're like anyone else, it is a combination of bad habits
and difficulty beginning new good ones.

But there is a secret technique which smashes your bad habits
away and virtually forces you to develop good ones, and pulls you
toward the success you want.

Here's an example: Say you want to lose 20 pounds, but you have
a bad habit of drinking soda. You crave it every day, and it
tastes so good you can't go without it at every meal. The key to
your success in losing weight comes down to this:

1. You have the bad habit of drinking soda…but you love the way
it tastes in the short-term.

2. You want to lose 20 pounds, and look and feel good in the
long-term.

So what is this one secret to your success?

Every time you reach for that soda, stop and ask yourself this:

"Do I want to drink this soda…or do I want to be 20 pounds
lighter and look and feel great?"

At first, this seems like an illogical question. After all, just
one little soda will not make the difference between your success
or failure in losing weight. But then again, if achieving your
dreams, goals, and desires consisted of 100% seemingly logical
decisions and actions…everyone would be successful. You must take
a counterintuitive approach.

Instead of talking yourself into thinking one drink of soda
won't make a difference…even though that may be technically
true…turn that idea on its head and say the opposite to yourself:
Which do you want? The one soda or the body of your dreams?

When the decision comes down to that, suddenly forgoing the
unhealthy drink is the only sane choice you have.

It's the same with any other part of your life, including money
and business. Let's say you make money as a writer and you
don't feel like writing today.

Ask yourself: "Do I want to have an extra five thousand dollars
per month and be able to travel the world in luxury…or do I want
to take a break from writing today?"

Now, does skipping one day of writing really make the difference
between an extra five thousand dollars per month? Who knows? Who
cares? The important thing is, you just have to pose one simple
question, and suddenly you will find yourself pounding those keys
and moving forward with your business.

The secret is simple: Put your long-term goals in the forefront
of your mind at all times, and ask yourself what you want to do
every day based on what you want in the future. It may not seem
logical, but it gets results.

Up in the Air
Copyright (c) 2011 Barbara Wulf MS, ACC, CPCC
Beckon Call Coach
http://www.beckoncall-coach.com/



You never know whom you will meet when you are flying. You can
learn a lot from a stranger, if you are open to having a
conversation and enjoy the art of listening. Case in point, on a
recent flight, I found myself sitting next to a man who was
returning from Florida to Michigan. He was an entrepreneur, a
successful entrepreneur, a few times over. He was able to retire
early and was so effective at starting businesses; he was
continuing to help others create small businesses, and enjoying
it.

When I asked him what he credited for his success. He said that
growing up on a farm gave him a hard work ethic. That used to be
a common theme in rural America. I wonder what will replace
"farm living" for the future generations as we see more
movement away from agriculture. And, he felt his college degree
from Michigan was also an asset. I agree, a college degree is
always a good life investment no matter how you use it. Now
pushing 70, it's hard for him to slow down. He loves putting the
pieces together. He is still passionate about business
development and has a lot of experience, knowledge and business
savviness to share.

I transferred planes in Detroit to finish the last leg of my trip
back home. A solider sat down next to me in seat 7-B. The man in
camouflage was returning home after serving a year in the Army
Reserves in Afghanistan. As a dad in his mid 30's, he was hoping
he would make it home in time to see his son play JV basketball
that evening.

Afghanistan…a world away. He said it was overwhelming to be
dropped there, with very little language skill. He had a job to
do and despite the steep learning curve, he did the best job he
could do. He was looking forward to sharing his experience with
high school students who know so little about Afghanistan, just
like me. He would also pick up where he left off on his job
search over a year ago. A year in the active Reserves provided
income after he lost his other job. He certainly has some
additional information to add to his resume.

Two different seat mates, two different stories about making a
living from men who were in different stages of life and with
different skill sets. We landed. Four friends greeted the solider
at the gate. I saw the embraces and a few tears. I had a tear as
well. Thanks you for a job well done, solider. Thank you for
taking a year from your life and your family to serve.

I picked up my luggage. As I drove home, I thought, what a ride.
I felt transformed and humbled by the strangers I met while up in
the air. What did this career coach learn during her flight home?

I learn a lot about the world of work by talking to people.
Hearing from people first hand is the real deal. It's one thing
to read about the workplace, it's another thing to hear about it
from people who are working. Be genuine, be curious, and share in
the dialog. For readers looking for work or considering a career
change, it is about talking to people. Do your research on the
Internet and read articles and publications. Then, contact
someone to talk to them in person or by phone. Do a short
informational meeting to learn more the industry, their position
or a related position, or learn more about what attracted them to
the field. Have a list of prepared questions, but be prepared to
listen and respond. Be flexible with the questions, read the
situation and be ready to have a few questions come back at you.
There is a need for ying and yang in any discussion, so look for
the balance in your exchange.

When opportunity knocks, take a chance to engage a stranger
whether you are up in the air or have both feet on the ground!

How To Have An Endless Stream Of Highly Qualified Free Leads
Copyright (c) 2011 Willie Crawford
Willie Crawford Incorporated
http://WillieCrawford.com/ezine.html



Getting hot, fresh leads, people truly interested in whatever it
is that you're selling, is the life's blood of most businesses.

Online or offline, most business owners dream of having customer
lined up, waiting at their door to get in and buy from them
repeatedly.

The really big dreamers, dream of having so many customers that
they can be very selective, and can choose only the ideal
customers to work with.

They dream of having the luxury of not having to work with people
that they find it unpleasant to work with.

Doesn't that sound heavenly?

Well, it's not a dream... for me and many friends who have also
discovered "the secret!"

Let me tell you HOW to accomplish that.

You become the authority, the highly-respected expert, the
go-to-guy, the celebrity in your niche.

If you can do that, you'll never have a problem making sales.
People will naturally be attracted to you rather than you having
to seek them out.

People seek out winners and want to associate with them!

But how to do become this winner... this authority in your niche?

One way is to become a well-known, widely-circulated author.

People have always put authors on a pedestal, and even treated
books as if they were semi-sacred.

So, if you can create this "body of work" that showcases your
expertise in a niche, people will naturally be attracted to you.

If you have a series of books, articles, audios, and perhaps
videos where you demonstrate that you truly understand your
audiences biggest, most painful problems, AND that you have the
solution...

they WILL trip over themselves to get to you and partake of that
solution. After all, you offer them relief from their problems.
You offer them happiness, and whatever else they seek.

Here's the thing... becoming a published author is easier today
than it has been at any time in human history.

To become an author today, all you need to do is sit down and
commit your thoughts to paper, massage that manuscript into a
book, booklet or pamphlet, and publish it.

It really IS that simple.

But what if you hate writing?

Talk it out, recording an audio, have that transcribed, and then
massage that into a manuscript. That's exactly what I have many
of my high-end coaching clients do :-)

But what if you can't afford to have your book printed?

You can have as few as ONE copies printed, using print on demand,
and your costs will be minimal. Then you order additional copies
as you need them.

Better yet, publish your manuscript as an ebook on the popular
Amazon Kindle platform.

But, you want a "real book"... don't you?

Listen, Amazon sells almost TWICE as many ebooks as they do print
books. People looking to buy books, who visit the biggest and
best-known online bookstore buy mostly...ebooks.

Did you know that?

Publishing an ebook on Amazon Kindle is FREE and relatively easy.
I've set up a recorded video for you that actually steps you
through the ENTIRE process.

That videos is at: http://WillieCrawford.com/Kindle/

You can now write an ebook, list it at the biggest bookstore in
the world 100% free, have them sell it for you, and have them
send you a check for 70% of what they collect each month from
selling your ebooks.

Haven't things changed a lot?

Traditional publishers make you jump through hoops, pay you a
tiny, tiny royalty, and do a horrible job of promoting your book.

Amazon Kindle, puts you in front of millions of your ideal
customers, sells you books, pays you, and when done right ...
they send you an endless stream of highly-qualified leads. These
will be people who are pre-sold on you, your pertise, and your
products.

Easy isn't it?

Don't worry, I'll go into a little more detail in Part-2 of
this article.

Be on the lookout for it.

In the meantime, go watch the video. You don't need to give your
name or register... or anything, it's just posted right on the
page listed above.

People seem to be polarized about whether the Law of Attraction

The Shocking Truth About the Law of Attraction and Why It Isn't Magical or
Mystical
Copyright (c) 2011 Jeff Balagosa
Prosperity Online Resource
http://www.ProsperityOnlineResource.com/



While in high school, I came across a book titled "Think and
Grow Rich," this being the first book that showed me the power
of using your mind in order to draw what you want to you. Fast
forward about a decade, in the year 2006, the movie, "The
Secret," revealed to the great majority of the world the
existence of this universal law. This subject catapulted many
heated debates and forum discussions all over the Internet.
People seem to be polarized to the subject. It's either that you
agree with it and believe it wholeheartedly; or you write it off
as voodoo, new age, mystical nonsense. As you analyze each and
every word of this document you will shortly feel a sense of
calmness as you begin to learn that the law of attraction isn't
mystical at all. In fact, it's very practical and based on
common sense.

Your Perception

To put it simply, whatever you focus your mind on will appear
into your reality. Studies found that your subconscious mind
takes everything you hear, see, feel, touch, and taste. Our
conscious minds would be driven to madness if we focused on
everything at once. So in order to protect our minds from going
insane, our conscious minds filter in what we focus on and filter
out the rest.

Let me illustrate this further with this well-known example. Ever
gone car shopping? If so, you've probably noticed the car that
you're shopping for start to appear everywhere. Let's say
you're in the market for current model BMW. I'd be willing to
bet that you would start seeing current model BMWs more often.
This isn't because more people started buying BMWs and suddenly
start to drive them. It's always there, but your mind just
filtered them out. You just went looking for them before, so you
didn't see them.

Action

Many law of attraction practitioners fail to incorporate action
into the process of getting what they want. Many naysayers find
merit in saying that it doesn't work. If you believe that you
can sit on the couch and visualize your way into lots of money, a
nice car, and a nice house; you will find disappointment. Many
experts acknowledge the fact that you need to take action in
order to receive what you want. Here's the catch The action you
take has to be "inspired" or "intuitive." When you correctly
focus on what you want you will feel your intuition pushing you
to do certain things. You may not know why these particular
things will get you closer to your goal; you will just feel that
it's the right thing to do. This is your subconscious mind or
"Infinite Intelligence" telling you what to do. And as long as
you listen to it and trust it fully, it will never steer you
wrong.

On the other hand; taking uninspired action, without the benefit
of intuition guiding you, could lead to a feeling of swimming
upstream. You may get to where you want to go eventually, but the
journey will probably be filled with hardship and uncertainty.

Clarity

You also need to know exactly what you want in order for it to
work. You can't just wish for more money in order to attract
more money into your life. You must be clear and detailed about
your goal or desire. If you want more money it's better to
attract what you intend to do with the money, or what the money
can buy you. Also, just stating the amount of money you wish to
acquire works better than just saying, "I want more money."

Belief

Belief is also a fundamental part of the process. You can't just
"try" the law of attraction in order to "see how it goes."
That's why you can never make someone else believe that the law
of attraction works, if they already written it off. The fact
that nonbelievers can find it true that "this stuff" doesn't
work at all, translates to just more proof that it actually does
work. Their belief that it's all based on false information
makes it true in their reality. The only reality that you can
change is yours.

Once again, the law of attraction isn't based on mystical, new
age, ideas. It's just based on how the human mind evolved to
work. Your perception becomes the driving force on what you see
and manifest into your life. By nature, human beings evolved as
goal oriented creatures. Our minds have been built upon this
premise. We evolved this way to climb to the top of the food
chain. Think of the law of attraction's methods and teachings as
ways to add laser precision to what our minds already evolved to
excel at.

Amendments to Construction Lien Law in New Jersey
Copyright (c) 2011 Steven Nudelman, Esq
Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP
http://www.GreenbaumLaw.com/



Woodbridge, NJ, February 16, 2011 - After 16 years, a much needed
revision to the New Jersey Construction Lien Law, N.J.S.A.
2A:44A-1 et seq. ("CLL"), was signed into law by Governor Chris
Christie on January 5, 2011. The impetus behind the amendments
was a report issued by the New Jersey Law Revision Commission in
March of 2009 identifying several key problems with the statute
as it was enacted in 1994. The amendments purport to clarify
various provisions of the statute and conform it to numerous
court decisions interpreting the CLL that have been issued during
the past 15 years.

The amendments, which take effect immediately, include several
significant changes which participants in the construction
process -- owners, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers --
must understand:

1. New Timing for Residential Construction Liens. Residential
construction claimants must file a Notice of Unpaid Balance and
Right to File Lien ("NUB") within 60 days from when the
claimant last performed work or supplied materials. Within 10
days after filing the NUB, the claimant is required to serve a
demand for arbitration for the purpose of determining the amount
of the lien claim. This time may only be extended upon consent of
the parties and arbitrator. Within 10 days after the
arbitrator's determination is rendered, but within 120 days from
when the claimant last performed work or supplied materials, the
claimant must finally record the lien claim. The lien claim form
must be stamped with the date and time when it was received by
the county clerk in order for it to be served on the owner and
any other interested parties.

2. Multiple Liens Against the Same Residential Project. The new
law allows parties aggrieved by lien claims relating to the same
construction project to be joined in a single construction lien
arbitration proceeding. Moreover, the law requires that, if
possible, the same arbitrator determine all such claims, even if
joinder is not possible. Finally, arbitrator(s) must consider the
outcome of all previous proceedings relating to the same
construction project in rendering the arbitrator's
determination. The primary purpose of these requirements is to
avoid inconsistent arbitration awards.

3. New Forms. New statutory forms were created for the NUB, lien
claim and amended lien claim. Significantly, the new forms
clarify the manner in which the claimant calculates the amount of
the lien. There is also a standard form of affidavit that is now
used to summarily discharge lien claims which have been satisfied
and a standard form for the bond used to discharge a construction
lien claim.

4. New Definitions. Many definitions in the statute have been
clarified or added. These include:

a. "Residential Construction" - A construction project which
includes any residential units is deemed "residential" in
nature. Therefore, a claimant must follow the special statutory
requirements for residential construction projects.

b. Filing - The act of delivering a document to the County Clerk
and that document being marked by the Clerk with a date and time
stamp is now defined as "lodging for record." A claim that is
"lodged for record" is enforceable against parties with notice
of the document, even if it has not been "indexed." "Lodging
for record" is distinct from "indexing," a term indicating
when the clerk files or records the lien documents in a manner
that puts the entire world on "record notice" of the lien.

5. Liens on Fee Interest. In the event that a tenant causes
improvements to be made to real property, the leasehold interest
is subject to attachment by a lien claim. The fee interest (held
by the landlord) is only subject to a lien claim in a limited
number of situations: If, in writing, the landlord expressly
authorizes the construction and provides that the fee interest is
subject to a lien, or; if the landlord has paid or agreed to pay
the majority of the costs in writing, or; if the lease or
sublease, where the landlord was a party, provides that the fee
interest is subject to a lien for the improvement.

6. The Lien Fund. The lien fund is the "pool of money from which
one or more lien claims may be paid. The amount of the lien fund
shall not exceed the maximum amount for which an owner can be
liable." The recent amendments to the CLL illustrate how to
calculate the lien fund, thus ensuring than an owner will not pay
more than once for the same work.

7. Liens Against Common Elements. For claimants against a
community association, liens placed on common elements may not be
enforced by foreclosure and sale. The only remedy for such a lien
claimant is a court-ordered assessment against the unit owners.

8. Suppliers to Suppliers May Now File Liens. A supplier to a
supplier who falls within the first three tiers of the
contracting chain and has a written contract may now file a lien
under the amended law. In most cases, the supplier does not have
a formal contract, but rather a "delivery slip." Under the
amended statute, in order to support a lien claim, a delivery or
order slip must refer to the site or project and be signed by the
owner or its authorized agent.

9. Enforcement by Summary Action. New procedures and parameters
for enforcing a lien in Superior Court are spelled out in the
amendments to the CLL. Additionally, the claimant must now also
file a Notice of Lis Pendens once suit has commenced.

10. Residential Construction Liens and the Allocation of Partial
Payments. A residential lien claimant who receives a partial
payment must release a proportionate share of interest in the
property. Moreover, in the absence of an agreement stating
otherwise, if the encumbered property is divided into
subdivisions or tracts then the allocation of released interest
must be proportionate to each subdivision or tract.

11. Discharge of Liens by Owner. In situations where the lien
claim has been paid in full, the claimant has failed to discharge
the lien, and 13 months have passed since the date of the lien
claim, the owner need only file a discharge certification and an
affidavit to summarily discharge the lien without court
intervention. However, before doing so the aggrieved party must
notify the claimant by certified mail. Thereafter, if no written
objection disputing complete payment of the lien claim is
received in 90 days, the owner may proceed with the expedient
discharge procedure. In situations where the claimant has
forfeited its lien claim and neglected to discharge the lien upon
demand, an owner may file an order to show cause to have the lien
claim discharged.

Although the above amendments attempt to eliminate the
ambiguities that were contained in the original CLL, there are
still issues which are undecided or which were determined by
prior Court decisions but were not incorporated into the
amendments themselves.

Article Title:
Response and Rebuttal: Having a Good Argument on a Blog

See TERMS OF REPRINT to the end of the article.

Article Description:
The strongest arguments are those that can relate their case
to other fields of knowledge and understanding. While there
are always those who will buy into constantly debunked
arguments, by and large the web is a place where the
meritocracy of truth can hold court. So, how exactly does
one harness this for his or her own blog?

Response and Rebuttal: Having a Good Argument on a Blog
Copyright (c) 2011 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



According to one theory of knowledge, there are no original
facts. All knowing is gained through more knowing, each fact tied
to every other fact like a spider web — none supported completely
on its own, but all working beautifully in concert. Whether this
is ultimately true philosophically, it illustrates a key point of
online knowledge: Everything worthwhile refers back to something
else.

This is particularly true of the many arguments on the web. The
strongest arguments are those that can relate their case to other
fields of knowledge and understanding. While there are always
those who will buy into constantly debunked arguments, by and
large the web is a place where the meritocracy of truth can hold
court.

So, how exactly does one harness this for his or her own blog?

First, understand that an argument always produces hard feelings.
This is the inherent risk of it; people do not like to be proven
wrong. Whether it is cultural or evolutionary in nature, there is
an almost gut-level need to be right in an argument. If you have
a discussion of this sort, you will run the risk of alienating
some audience members.

However, the same effect can gain you a strong readership if
handled properly. People admire those who can demonstrate a
strong case against consistent criticism. Take the video bloggers
Thunderf00t and AronRa on YouTube. Both of these men advocate
very specific positions about science, free speech and religion,
and the role of these entities in the modern world. Both have
come under extensive attack, including outright legal action in
some cases, for advocating their views and maintaining the
argument about these issues. Yet both have very popular YouTube
channels, and both writers have been booked for speaking
engagements as a result of their work. Their channels are
consistently growing, largely because they are willing to have
arguments and back them up with strong evidence.

The first step is to make sure the argument is worth having. Is
it genuinely an issue worth arguing over, with significant
relevance to the average user? Consider your audience carefully
for this one. Arguments about freedom of speech may well touch on
everyone's lives in some degree, but if your blog is dedicated
to the subtleties of audiophile technologies, it might not be the
argument to have.

Once you have made the decision that a point needs to be argued,
it is important to match the intensity of your tone to the
relevance of the point. If you have a relatively academic
disagreement with one portion of another blogger's work, then it
would likely not be appropriate to ream the entire piece based on
one disagreement, or to focus on the disagreement instead of the
areas of concordance.

This should be common sense, but the web seems to create a
tendency in people to narrow their focus onto odd elements.

Begin with a post stating the basics of the other party's case,
honestly and omitting nothing relevant. Then provide your
commentary and rebuttal in specific terms, providing due credit
and citations and making sure to link to your opposite number's
blog if the argument is occurring between the blogs, or in the
comments section if the discussion is to be had there.

Remember also to be gracious in victory and polite in defeat. It
may well be that you utterly end their argument. If so, then well
done. If they concede the point, accept the concession and move
on. People have had their show, things have been learned, and
hopefully both of you have benefited. Similarly, if you are
clearly shown to be in the wrong, you gain much more credibility
by revising your stance and acknowledging the opposing party's
points. This is not formal debate, where the idea is to win
points — it's to maintain good discussion and draw in the kind
of people who take your work seriously.

Tying in with this effect is the user effect. People feel more
invested in a blog when they feel their contributions are honored
and considered worthwhile. So if a commenter to your blog
provides a particular insight on an ongoing discussion or
argument you are having with another blogger, bring them in.
Highlight insightful commentary from your readers with a post, or
incorporate it into one if appropriate to do so. This will
encourage more people to bring commentary in, both for and
against your point of view. This is a great way to attract the
viewers of your opposite number's blog, as they feel their input
will not be ignored.

So, in the end, should you go looking for arguments to start?
Probably not; enough of them will present themselves to you. This
is evident from reading just about any blog on the web. Read
enough of them, and you will find something you disagree with. If
you feel you can have a reasonable dialog with the writer of
another blog, or if you feel their views are so drastically wrong
as to require your rebuttal, then by all means do so. Simply do
not forget to make it an argument worth having, and one that will
educate and entertain your readers.

ReCareer in the Second-half of Life
Copyright (c) 2011 Barbara Wulf MS, ACC, CPCC
Beckon Call Coach
http://www.beckoncall-coach.com/



Ah, Spring! Time for renewal, regrowth, ReCareer. ReCareer?
What's that about? ReCareering is about finding authentic work
in the second half of life. I decided to learn more about the
process of recareering recently with Richard P. Johnson PhD,
author of ReCareer, Finding Your Authentic Work.

We are still finding ourselves in the aftershock of the recession
of 2008. People are continuing to look for work, create new
opportunities and wait for momentum in the hiring cycle. We know
some positions will return. Others will not. When people find
themselves jobless, perspectives can shift. During the period of
waiting, some have discovered that losing a job can make us
realize that we could, and maybe should, be doing something else.

ReCareering is about finding the right fit. Many of us worked the
first half of our life to "fit" the job description. We worked
the long hours, worked various shifts, drove the long commute and
spent time on the road away from family. We did what we needed to
do to pay bills, pay a mortgage, raise a family, etc. ReCareering
is the process of being selective, being creative, being
fulfilled and being intentional about how you spend your time.

Dr. Johnson believes that second-half of life seekers want
something deeper out of life. "They want more personal purpose,
more meaning, they want to align their personality more clearly,
they want to be more 'on target' with their life. They seek a
nearer connection between their life and the larger world; they
want their efforts to be more socially redeemable." Hmmm, is
that too much for us to ask?

Job change in midlife can present opportunity. The second-half
seeker brings loyalty, equivalent productivity, a better safety
record, a higher work satisfaction level and an appreciation of
the value of work, as compared to younger workers. There are
myths concerning the middle aged and more mature workers. Most of
the myths are attributed to stereotypes and are held by potential
employers and older workers as well. The myths cause the
second-half seeker to focus on what is lost and to dwell on
scarcity thinking.

A typical question that a job seeker in the mid-years often asks
is, how can I find a job doing something else — something I
really enjoy?" Look inward. Answer the question by asking
yourself:

  * What is your current definition of personal success? How does
it compare to how you would define success in younger years?

  * What is your ReCareer dream? What is the fit between your
ReCareer dream and your current resources and personal gifts?

  * What would stop you from moving forward with your recareer
plans?

Whether you are unemployed, non-employed, underemployed or
empty-employed, the benefits of rethinking your career with
recareering might be beneficial. Formulate a plan to find or
create a more fulfilling career. Enlist the help of a career
coach. Seek out the training and connections you will need to be
successful. Finally, surround yourself with positive people who
will support you in your transition.

"It is not our age that is at fault, but rather our attitude
toward it." – Cicero: "On Old Age", 1st Century B.C.

Las Vegas – One City, Many Destinations
Copyright (c) 2011 George Cuthbert
Low Cost  USA
http://www.LowCostUSA.co.uk



You'll have heard the old saying, "Join the navy to see the
world". Well, you don't have to join the navy; just take a
holiday to Las Vegas and you can be in two or three continents in
the space of a couple of square miles. Desperate to outdo each
other and attract your attention, the hotels in Las Vegas have
turned themselves into mini replicas of tourist attractions from
all over the globe. Where else can you be in Paris one minute and
Egypt the next?

Egypt

Take the Luxor Hotel and Casino, for example. As with everything
in Vegas reality takes a back seat and fantasy takes over. In
Egypt you can go and visit the Valley of the Kings and stand in
awe before the Great Pyramids; in Las Vegas you can eat your
breakfast in one. The Luxor Hotel is in the shape of a pyramid
and the whole place plays along with the Egyptian theme. And with
a huge Sphinx at the entrance you would be forgiven for wondering
if you had too much wine with your dinner the night before when
you look out of your bedroom window. As if that wasn't enough
you can view a look-alike of Tutankhamun's Tomb and, if you have
any imagination at all, feel the hairs on the back of your neck
stand up as you remember the curse that dogged the folks who were
at the opening of the original.

France

Just around the corner from Egypt you bump into the Eiffel Tower.
Well okay, not the real one, but apart from its size you would be
hard put to tell the difference. This is the Paris Las Vegas'
pičce de résistance, a half size exact replica of the Eiffel
Tower in the back garden. This happens to be my favourite of all
the incredible sights in Las Vegas, no doubt because I love Paris
and this replica is so real!

So as to confuse your senses further, just behind the tower
stands a copy of the Arc de Triomphe. Things are getting really
crazy. You book a holiday to Las Vegas in the USA and here you
are looking at the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.

The hotel really pushes the illusion to its limit with its
built-in market place that comes with a ceiling painted to look
like the sky, the whole thing fashioned to look like a typical
French village.

USA

Yes, I know you're already in the USA, but how about a trip to
the east coast, just a block or two away? Located on Las Vegas
Blvd is the fantastic New York New York Hotel, the closest to the
Big Apple that I've ever been. The façade of this hotel is a
concoction of all the familiar sights from the real thing,
miniatures of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire
State Building and so on, a complete composite of the New York
skyline.

Inside the hotel there is an unbelievable roller coaster ride
which travels in and out of the buildings. If you dare to venture
onto it you will be riding in small versions of New York's
chequered cabs. All through the hotel you will feel that you have
stepped from the streets of Las Vegas into the streets of New
York. Familiar names crop up as you walk around, Central Park,
Broadway: you truly could be forgiven for thinking that you had
been transported two and a half thousand miles east.

Italy

Take a virtual visit to Italy and experience the romance of
Venice at the Venetian Hotel. Just when you think that you have
seen it all this hotel knocks you back with yet another
astonishing display. This time it's a half mile ride on an
authentically modelled Venetian gondola complete with singing
gondolier. You are transported along an imitation Grand Canal,
(could there be such a thing?), passing under typical bridges,
one looking suspiciously like the Rialto to me. The ladies in
your party will enjoy the typically Italian shopping experience
as they meander through the Grand Canal shopping mall, gondolas
floating peacefully by.

We began with the idea that by travelling to Las Vegas for a
holiday you could get a taste of the best that many other
countries of the world could offer, albeit scaled down a little.
The best thing of all is that you can wander around and enjoy the
settings of these wonderful hotels without being a guest.
However, you might find that there is a charge for the use of
some of the facilities. And I hope you noticed that the words
casino and gambling haven't been mentioned at all until now!
There is lots of fun and entertainment on offer in this larger
than life location. I hope you will find the time to visit and
experience some of the magic for yourself.

How To Have An Endless Stream Of Highly Qualified Free Leads  (Part 2)
Copyright (c) 2011 Willie Crawford
Willie Crawford Incorporated
http://WillieCrawford.com/ezine.html



In part-1 of this article, I shared with you how it's now easier
than ever to become a recognized expert by publishing valuable
information in your niche.

I also shared that you can now publish your books, pamphlets or
reports, right on the Amazon Kindle Platform, and that you can
even do it for 100% free.

This video even shows you step-by-step how to register an
account, set everything up, upload your ebook, and start making
sales in as little as a day or two.

In part-1 of the article, I also told you that if you don't like
writing, or are not very comfortable with it, you can talk out
your ebook and then have it transcribed.

Another option is to have someone ghost-write it for you. You
would be surprised at how inexpensively you can have a book or
ebook ghost-written for you.

In fact, my good friend, Mike Lewis, has a business where he can
create and publish a book for you for as little as $1000.

Incredible isn't it?

Let me know if you'd like more info on Mike's crazy service.

Another alternative is to simply take "private label rights"
and turn them into your own books or ebooks.

If you are not familiar with private label rights, it's where a
writer or researcher has already done all of the work in creating
the rough draft, and they sell it to you...with permission to do
almost anything that you want with it.

You COULD take a private label rights ebook, that you buy for as
little as $10, and publish it, as-is, just putting your name on
it (depending upon the license stipulations).

That wouldn't be very smart because people who sell private
label rights often sell the exact same rights to hundreds of
different people.

We DO live in a big world, and the chances of your readers
noticing another person publishing the SAME book over their name
is actually fairly slim... in most niches.

But why be lazy?

Why not create an ebook that you'd be happy to have your name
on, and representing YOU, by treating that PLR as if it were just
a rough draft.

If I were to personally use a PLR ebook and publish it as my own,
I would:

1) Give it a new name. 2) Have a new cover designed for it. 3)
Rename every chapter. 4) Go through every chapter rewording as
desired, and making sure that it was 100% accurate. 5) Add an
about the author section, that is sort of your "glorified
business card." 6) Add a "bounce-back offer"... an offer in
the book for an additional report or bonus if they will go to
your website, fill out a form, and claim it.

If you're thinking that sounds like a lot of trouble, you're
missing the point!

This ebook is going to become the tool that generates a steady
stream of highly-qualified leads for you. That's why you want
the bounce-back offer. When they visit your website to claim that
bonus, THAT'S where you get them into your leads system.

This ebook is going to sell them on the fact that YOU are the
person who really understands their problems, and are the right
one to help them. So, you DON'T want to cut corners.

You want that ebook to present the best image of you possible.

You want that ebook to convey that you are a real expert!

I did mention in part-1, that you want an entire "body of
work." So, yes, I was implying that you want several books on
your topic.

You want several... maybe even a dozen books "out there"
working for you as lead generators.

When you watched the video at: http://WillieCrawford.com/Kindle/
you saw that this really isn't difficult.

You did watch the video didn't you?

If not, go watch it now. It's too important for you to miss...
and we need to get you in the habit of following through and
actually getting things done!

Writing a book really isn't hard. I wrote my first one in about
three months (a cookbook). It also took me about three months to
write my second book (an autobiography).

Both books have been selling steadily for nearly a decade, AND
both books are now offered on the Amazon Kindle Platform as
ebooks.

I rolled them out as physical books, BUT since people are reading
twice as many ebooks as physical books, I offer my readers what
they want.

"Mama didn't raise no fool."

Here's the thing... my cookbook, my autobiography, and all of
the "numerous" other books that I've written all let my
readers get to know me AND recognize me as an expert.

The last few ebooks that I wrote only took me one to two DAYS
each.

Yes, I can write a quality ebook in a day... from scratch :-)

These ebooks... these lead generators WORK!

Readers come to me ready to take advantage of my expertise when I
offer it.

That's what you want too, isn't it?

Well, all that's left now... is for you to just go do it :-)

Good Press: Promoting Your Blog
Copyright (c) 2011 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



There are numerous ways to get a blog noticed and mentioned
online. Some are good and others are atrocious. We're all aware
of "that guy" who simply joins conversations online and says,
"Wow, that's interesting. Hey, have you read my blog about..."
Sometimes the blog covers the topic being discussed — but usually
it doesn't. Sometimes our "friend" doesn't even go to the
trouble of actually even trying to comment on the conversation
and simply spams his blog's links everywhere he can, hoping
someone somewhere will accidentally click the link instead of the
block button.

So how do we avoid becoming "that guy?" The blog needs
promoting; blogs that people don't know about don't get read…
it's as simple as that. But there are polite ways to promote
your blog in an active sense without becoming a blog-spamming
troll.

Directories
  There are a number of website and blog-specific directories out
there. Most of us are familiar with these, so a short summary is
all I'll include here. In essence, these are websites that will
host and promote various other sites for a subscription of sorts.
Some are ad-supported, others require payment or contracts of a
certain period of time. What these do is allow another angle of
search engine optimization so that people looking for topics
relating to your blog will have more of a chance of finding your
hard-written content.

SEO
  By now, good SEO practices should be seen as mandatory.
Keywords, meta-tags and other good SEO practices will promote
your blog for you without ever requiring you to contact anyone.
Do it.

However, there is the related, yet not identical, field of topic
tagging. Many blogs have an option to tag an article with topics.
These don't necessarily directly relate to SEO results, though
in some cases they do get listed. What they do is allow people
using the same blogging software to browse based on topics. So if
you're discussing a particular issue or news story, tag it in
the categories or topics section, and fellow WordPress or Blogger
users might just come across your work.

Social Media
  The previous techniques are useful because they don't require
direct interaction with others. They're based on letting
searches promote your work for you. However, nothing in the world
beats the personal touch, and there's nothing more personal than
social media. As mentioned above, the personal approach is risky,
because people have fickle moods. Not everyone is in the mood to
hear about a blog when they're having a discussion. Fortunately,
it doesn't have to be as crass as the above example of our
blog-desperate friend.

First, there are online forums. These are a great place to ease
into the social media experience. Find a forum or two related to
the topic of your blog, and begin participating. When it comes
time to create your profile, make sure good content is provided.
Provide a short but informative bio about what you do, put
keyword relevant tags to your blog in the activities section and
make sure your blog is linked in either the website or signature
portions of your forum, or both.

These practices, you'll note, can be repeated on any social
media site. Facebook in particular is good for this, as it has a
very robust background and biography section to work from.

Once in the forum or social media discussion group, participate
actively. Introduce yourself if there is an appropriate place to
do so. Mention your blog and what it is about briefly, and then
drop it for a while. Drop in on discussions that you feel you
have something relevant to contribute to, always being sure to be
polite and provide insightful commentary. If you can't think of
something to say, don't force it.

One good "bridging" method in these cases is using your fellow
conversationalists' comments as inspiration for a blog post.
Suppose someone brings up a commonly held misconception, or
mentions something you genuinely hadn't thought of before. Write
a post about it, and link to that post in the message. Use this
technique sparingly — you want to be known for your own unique
content, not as a topic-miner. However, when done politely and
genuinely, this can get people interested in speaking with you
and reading what you have to write.

Habits and Practices
  Those paying attention will see that this is a process, not a
"step." Blog promotion is an activity that takes time to
properly cultivate and is very easy to get wrong. The steady and
measured approach is the best way to avoid taxing peoples'
patience — pushing too hard will get you flagged for spam or
banned, which results in a bad reputation.

Getting readers to come to a blog is like developing any good
relationship. Businesses tend to thrive on repeat customers
rather than one-time visitors, and a blog is the same way. You
want a loyal readership? Show them you're trustworthy and
friendly before they ever show up. You aren't going to be able
to force interest — either it is there or it isn't. Do your blog
a favor and remove the roadblocks of over eagerness by accepting
the long-term view of solid promotion.

Go Green With Your Career Search
Copyright (c) 2011 Barbara Wulf MS, ACC, CPCC
Beckon Call Coach
http://www.beckoncall-coach.com/



In April 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin launched Earth
Day. It evolved after seven years of observation, discussion and
planning to bring the environment into the "limelight." Today,
I'm buying bottled water and see our air, ground water, soil,
oceans and glaciers under siege. As we hear more about Going
Green to save the planet, what can we do to Green our Career?
Just like the environment, we cannot take anything for granted in
today's workplace. Keeping our career path intentional and
updated is necessary for career survival and redesign.

In honor of Earth Day, April 22nd, here are some ways to Green
Your Career:

Sustainability: It's can be tough to stay motivated in a career
search, but to persevere and stay intentional with your search
are necessary. Be the glacier, but resist having a "meltdown!"
Remember, looking for work is work. Review your habits and eat
healthy, go for a walk, get fresh air, join a job network group,
hire a coach, etc. It's about survival, and you can do it.
Remember, Darwin's Survival of the Fittest? The village
blacksmith will not return and neither will hand milking or the
keypunch operator. You have to move on, retool and renew. That
means an investment in you and that means time and commitment.

Recycle - Reuse - Renew: When did you update your resume? Did you
ever attend a professional development workshop or use a career
tool that identified your strengths, interests or leadership
style? I have talked with many clients who discounted this kind
of experience and shoved the results in the back of the file
cabinet. In good times, we tend to think, that's nice, so what!
Dig out the results and reread them. The results could be
insightful.

Even if the resume or a performance evaluation is 5-10 years old,
it can be a springboard. Dig it out, dust it off and remember who
you were. It can provide direction as you ask, who am I today?
Reflect, regroup, react. Just like paper or plastic, we can be
"reused." Besides, it's spring and it might be time to spring
clean your files and get reorganized.

Preserve: How can you preserve your identity and integrity? Some
traits are timeless! It is important to "know thyself." Some
workers think, it's over, I'm outdated, too old, too
inexperienced, washed up. Hold on! A solid work ethic, good work
record, willing to learn and retrain still mean something in
today's workplace. We are not "throw-aways" waiting for the
landfill. You are a valued entity in today's workplace, so
market yourself, get grounded and persevere. Now more than ever,
tough times call for a tougher, creative approach for your
search.



Save Energy: Like the new energy-saving light bulbs, they cost
more, but save money and energy in the long run. How about you?
Can you save an employer money and energy in the long run? Are
you a good investment? Can you glow brightly and provide
long-lasting productivity? Think about the value you bring to the
workplace.

Increase Efficiency: In your work search, work smarter and be
efficient. Focus your job search, schedule your calls and keep
accurate records of your applications, follow-ups and responses.
To stay efficient, you need a plan and a schedule for your
workweek. A "hit or miss" philosophy or "when I feel like it"
attitude will not serve you.

For more efficiency, get involved with social networking. Create
a profile on LinkedIn, Jobster, Facebook. Get curious about
Twitter. Start a blog. There are many options to explore. Google
yourself. Did you show up? Today's job search requires positive
visibility.

Keeping your career path green means you are aware, enlightened
and alive. Spring is a season of renewal. The workplace is
dynamic and your career path and credentials need to be dynamic
too.

Article Title:
Brand Management - Press Release Fundamentals

See TERMS OF REPRINT to the end of the article.

Article Description:
Certain concepts just carry over well from print journalism. The
press release, the tried and true method of updating the public
on an organization's affairs, is an example of just how well
such a concept can survive. While there have been a few
adjustments to the specifics, such as the use of keywords and
SEO-oriented writing, the core structure of the press release
remains the same. Here are a few of the simpler but
oft-overlooked steps that can redeem this marketing tool into a
primary force.

Brand Management - Press Release Fundamentals
Copyright (c) 2011 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



Certain concepts just carry over well from print journalism. The
press release, the tried and true method of updating the public
on an organization's affairs, is an example of just how well
such a concept can survive. While there have been a few
adjustments to the specifics, such as the use of keywords and
SEO-oriented writing, the core structure of the press release
remains the same.

Of course, as with all well-established writing conventions, the
press release has seen its share of abuses. Press releases are
such a routine part of any organization's operations that they
often see quality sacrificed in the name of quantity. They're
viewed as a source of easy SEO rankings if they're given any
thought at all, and naturally the quality of these publications
suffers in line with the degree of neglect.

Of course, no one has to follow this trend. There are a number of
things one can do to create a solid press release. Here are a few
of the simpler but oft-overlooked steps that can redeem this
marketing tool into a primary force.

Hook with the Lede

The lede is that first sentence in a journalism story, a press
release included. The lede must contain everything the story is
going to talk about. If nothing else, it must boil the story down
to its most relevant points, because very often people read the
first few lines of a news story, then move on.

The key then lies in finding the most interesting part of the
story and making the lede into a verbal "hook" that people can
get ahold of. Don't hide your big announcement; sure, it works
for Steve Jobs because attendees at the Apple conferences aren't
going to leave mid-speech. But people reading a press release can
always click away, so make sure you get the "what's that now?"
out in front of them immediately.

Keep the Headline on Topic, Not on Company

The headline is not the place to brand your company. There are
many wonderful venues for promoting your brand or company name;
trying to sandwich it into the headline is simply asking for
trouble, because all it does is give the press release away as a
marketing effort. The story may well be solid journalistic gold,
but it will still be ignored because people were turned off by
the marketing.

Instead, treat the headline as a summary companion to the lede,
with catchy writing and an on-topic message that draws readers'
eyes down to the lede in order to see what the headline is
talking about.

Simplify

Remember Strunk and White's eternal maxim: omit needless words.
Remember once more that people tend to read a few lines into any
news story, then move on. The longer a story can keep the
reader's attention, the better it is doing. Words that hinder
this process are introducing friction into what should ideally be
a smooth process. This includes words that are obscure, very long
words and, worst of all, jargon.

There is a place in the world for jargon. That place is between
experts in a field who want to communicate more precisely and
effectively. It is not in the lines of a press release. Most
people are not experts in any given field, so using highly
specific terms such as jargon is not going to help. It does not
make a publication sound more intelligent — it makes it sound
like it's geared toward someone else at best, or pretentious at
worst. Discard the jargon and go for simple explanations instead.

Dress it Up

Simplicity is ideal for the core message of a press release, but
there are ways to amplify the effectiveness of each part of the
release given the power of online media.

Given the widespread access to broadband, embedding photos and
videos is no longer a faux pas. If you're doing a press release
on a trade show, include some pictures of the booths from the
last year's show, perhaps a video of a short interview talking
about the highlights of this year's events. Again, keep the
material on-topic; the goal is to amplify what you're talking
about in the release, not to distract from it.

Additionally, linking content is easy and efficient. Perhaps your
release cites a major study your organization just completed and
is releasing. Include a link to the study in the headline or lede
so that people can click over to it immediately. This technique
works for all manner of content, incidentally. If you're
mentioning some manner of content that your organization is
providing, be it product or service, put a link to it in the lede
or near to the lede, so people can go right over and take a look.

The Basics

It shouldn't have to be said anymore, but there is always a need
to remember the basic principles of good writing. Pay attention
to grammar and punctuation. Use brief and active-voice
statements. Don't editorialize. Keep the press release
straightforward and cite the facts you want conveyed.

These are not options, they're important fundamentals. If you
break the rules of the basics, your credibility will suffer.
Remembering to mind them will help reduce the polish that has to
go into a release later on.

Best Effort Essential for the Job Interview
Copyright (c) 2011 Barbara Wulf MS, ACC, CPCC
Beckon Call Coach
http://www.beckoncall-coach.com/



You have an interview scheduled. Great! Now it's show time. You
looked good on paper and now the employer wants to meet you
in-person or perhaps with a phone interview.

Interviewing will determine if you are the right person for the
job. Like trying on a new pair of shoes at the store, the word
FIT comes to mind. Are you the right fit for the position? The
interviewer will be listening to your communication style and
reviewing your experience and skills to see if you are a fit. If
you are lacking experience, skills or seeking an entry-level
position, they will be assessing your potential to learn or be
trained for the job. They will also get a sense of your
personality, attitude and enthusiasm.

Here are some tips for a successful interview:

Appearance Matters - Do you know what to wear? Knowing the
position along with the company culture and work environment is
important. You can inquire when you are called for the interview.
You might ask if the environment is formal or more business
casual. Stay conservative and check your wardrobe for darker or
neutral colors like navy, gray, brown or tan. Get a haircut and
look well groomed. Don't forget to polish your shoes. For women,
avoid perfume, bold nail color, too much makeup and heavy
jewelry. Dressing for success can and does make a difference.
Just ask John Molloy, author of Dress for Success!

Know the Location - Ask about the location. You can google the
location, set your GPS, or drive by, if it is convenient. Make
sure you know which door to use and ask about visitor parking.
Check your gas tank the day before.

Promptness - Plan to be 10 to 15 minutes early. Allow for weather
or traffic conditions. Meet the receptionist and observe the
office activity. This will also give you time to unwind and use a
bathroom.

Portfolio - Take a few extra resumes along. Bring a pen and
paper. Bring your business card.

Type of Interview - You can inquire to learn more about the
interview format. There are various formats including one-on-one,
round robin, panel, telephone and more.

Interview Length - 30 minutes, 60 minutes, how long? Make sure
you have breakfast if you have a morning interview.

Interview Questions - Behavioral questions are often standard.
There are hundreds, but preparing for and polishing off the top
25 would be a reasonable start. Be sure your answers are concise.
Practice makes perfect. Think of a few appropriate questions you
could ask them.

Research - Why do you want to work at the company? What is the
product or service? Learn all you can. Google the company name.
Talk to someone who works there. Know what you can offer the
employer. Additional knowledge and preparation adds to your
self-confidence.

Tell me about yourself - A 30-Second Commercial or Elevator
Speech can be modified to serve as a springboard. Know yourself.
In a minute or two, tell them about your work
experience/education, highlight your skills and strengths and why
you want to work there. Your response should be brief and
conversational.

Body Language - A smile and firm handshake can go along way. Make
sure you greet the interviewer with both. It is a good way to
make an introduction and will help put you at ease. Maintain eye
contact with the interviewer throughout the interview. When you
are finished, thank the interviewer and offer your hand. These
gestures will help you look professional, sincere and confident.
Follow up with a short thank you note or email.

After the interview, document the date of the interview, company
name and position along with the name of the interviewer and
contact information. Organize your thoughts and reactions to the
interview. What did you learn? Which of your responses to the
questions went well? Which questions were challenging? What is
the next step?

The interviewing process is about finding the best candidate who
will be a good fit. Likewise, ask yourself, is the employer a fit
for you.

Blog Management - How to Work Interviews Into Your Blog
Copyright (c) 2011 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



Being a subset of journalism, it is no surprise that blogging
shares many traits with its parent. In particular, blogging
strongly resembles the feature or editorials pages of many
newspapers. Not beholden to quite the same rules of timeliness or
AP style guidelines as the news sections, these sections focus on
matters of personal interest to the writer, or on a specific
topic of particular relevance or human interest.

So, given that blogging tends to be derived from these sections,
it is reasonable to look into the tactics that bring traditional
journalists such success in their writing and to borrow the best
ideas from them. In particular, many bloggers have discovered the
value of including interviews in their publications.

An interview is fairly straightforward: a conversation between
the blogger and another party, generally about a topic of mutual
interest to the blogger, the subject and the readers. Some
interviews are scripted, some are more extemporaneous, but at
their heart they all have the mission of illuminating the
thoughts of the interviewee to the audience of the publication in
order to shed some extra light on the subject being discussed.

In the world of blogging, there are generally three approaches to
integrating an interview into a blog.

The Writeup

This is the general, news-story style form of an interview. The
blogger contacts the subject, does their interview, then writes a
story around the interview using the subject's quotations as a
framework. It tends to look something like:

Recently I spoke to branding icon John Doe, asking his thoughts
on the importance of personal identity. "You really need a
strong name, something people can get ahold of and never forget,
that's the first thing." When I asked him for details, John
commented, "Well, if you don't have a name that people
remember, they'll just refer to you as 'that one guy' or any
old thing."

The structure is easy to follow, and very much suited to blogging
as a style of writing. It doesn't have to be in first person; it
is easily adapted to any blogging style. It has the value of
letting the blogger do most of the writing. This way, their style
remains intact and the interview is presented on their terms to
the readers, maintaining a unique voice.

The weakness of this style is that it tends to raise questions.
Did the blogger use the whole interview? Are they editorializing
in their choice of quotes? and so on. For example, in the choice
above, When I asked him for details could actually have played
out as "Well, that's obvious. Could you be more specific?" and
our imaginary blogger simply rephrased to make himself look less
confrontational.

The Reprint

The alternative is simply to reprint the entire interview,
without editing other than to remove little asides such as "um"
and other verbal tics. This tends to look as follows:

BenjaminBrandBlog - Hello, John.

John Doe - Hello. Thanks for interviewing me.

BBB - Glad to talk with you. So, what would you say is the first
thing that comes to your mind when talking about branding?

JD - You really need a strong name, something people can get
ahold of and never forget, that's the first thing.

The reprint is rather an unusual choice, very rarely seen in
blogging or in print journalism. This is because it has some
obvious weaknesses. For example, not every question in an
interview ends up being relevant. Not all interviews follow a
particular script; some go down tangents, interesting or dull
asides, and so on. It is the job of the journalist to edit the
content so that the material that stayed on subject gets to the
readers.

However, there are some cases in which reprinting an interview is
an interesting alternative. If a conversation was purely
illuminating, if it covered some amazing grounds that people
didn't expect, and the writer wishes to share it, then by all
means share the interview itself.

The Podcast or Video

Similar to the reprint, this is the process of using recording
equipment to make an audio podcast or videoblog of the interview
in question. This has a number of advantages over the simple
reprint, because it allows the personality of the two subjects to
shine through in a way that text doesn't always quite capture.
Sarcasm and wit come through a bit more readily when tone of
voice or body language are added into the subject matter, making
the whole process more dynamic and interesting.

The difficulty of these formats is in their complexity. The
logistics of getting recording software to work, of cleaning up
audio and video for proper use on the net if they aren't your
blog's primary medium, etc. can all make this a bit out of reach
for the average blogger. They require the dedication of actual
time and effort to produce, share and refine as a series.
Further, not everyone is as suited for speaking as they are for
writing; some just aren't as comfortable in a spoken medium, and
a skilled writer isn't always a stunning speaker.

That said, there is strong value in this type of process, as it
can add variety and interest to the usual presentation of a good
blog.

Article Description:
Sometimes a topic just isn't working - you can tell when you're
writing it, and you can tell when you're reading it. Maybe the
humor is forced, tired, or rote. Maybe the blogger didn't go
into the same level of interesting side detail that he usually
does, or perhaps her topic looks like she fell back on a safe and
reliable piece, rather than going somewhere new like her last
eight. Whatever the reason, not every topic is created equal, and
sometimes a post just isn't up to anything like your usual
standards.

Blog Management - Know When to Let Go

Sometimes a topic just isn't working - you can tell when you're
writing it, and you can tell when you're reading it. Maybe the
humor is forced, tired, or rote. Maybe the blogger didn't go
into the same level of interesting side detail that he usually
does, or perhaps her topic looks like she fell back on a safe and
reliable piece, rather than going somewhere new like her last
eight. Whatever the reason, not every topic is created equal, and
sometimes a post just isn't up to anything like your usual
standards.

There are a lot of reasons, most of them hard to pin down, for
why a post might not be making the cut. Perhaps the details are
just too sparse to get ahold of, or the interview that the post
is based on just went poorly and the subject has almost no
personality to do a piece on, or maybe it's just mind-numbingly
dull to the writer and he can't work up any enthusiasm for it.
These things happen, not necessarily to every writer, but they
are likely to happen to most.

So the question becomes, how do you deal with a bad topic?

The professional answer might be to "chin up and bear through
it, deliver what you were hired to write and just try harder next
time." For some of us, this is acceptable and even good
practice. After all, not every assignment can be gravy; sometimes
you just have to bite the bullet.

However, this article aims to argue that this is not always or
even often the case, and writers need to learn when to let a
topic go and move on to something else more frequently.

How Does This Work?

After all, professional bloggers in particular are hired to write
about specific subjects — how can they get away with writing
about something else or just dropping a topic?

It has to be said, the option to leave a post behind isn't
always there. Sometimes an assignment is too specific, and one
has to go through with it. However, this is actually very rarely
the case. An engaging blog is about the writer's personality,
not necessarily the content (although the content is how this
persona is put forward). Thus if a particular topic or, more
importantly, a particular approach to a topic is not working for
a writer, then a change is needed in either small or great degree
to allow the writer to work their particular magic.

Side Doors

The first step in letting go of an article is to let go of your
initial approach to it. It may be that the subject itself
actually isn't all that bad, just that the initial or usual way
of approaching it isn't working out so well. Take that interview
example: Say our mysterious blogger is an interviewing genius,
and has had some exceptional success with interview-driven blog
posts so far. However, the latest interviewee, an artist in this
case, is just dreadful. Their work is exciting, their reputation
amazing, but in person or in print they're as dull as a brick!
The blogger can't get their normal approach to work.

Alright, another approach is warranted. So instead of using the
actual interview, our blogger makes one up. This isn't to say
they make up the actual interview with the artist, which would be
illegal and wrong. Instead, they interview the person's art
itself. They raise questions they have, and look at what answers
the art itself provides.

This is a bit of an esoteric example, but it illustrates the key
point — if you're having trouble doing something, try
approaching it from a different angle. Languages are flexible,
with shades of meaning and cultural variations that can surprise
you. Experiment a bit and see if a new method opens new
successes.

Genuinely Drop It

Some topics, however, just don't work. It happens, be it
writer's block or just a lack of information.

The solution here is be honest. If you are your own boss, just
accept that you tried and it's time to write something else.
Writers of fiction do it all the time; bloggers should be no
different.

If you're writing for an organization that expects you to cover
certain topics, be up front as early as possible and go to your
bosses with an explanation in detail why the topic isn't
working, and why you think posting it would be detrimental rather
than helpful. To make the process easier, go with alternative
ideas — already written out or at least drafted in proposal form
— so they can see you know what you're talking about and have
the content ready.

Why Letting Go is Good

Burnout is a very real phenomenon among bloggers. People can
sense when a writer hasn't put their heart and soul into a
piece, and they can tell when something was forced out of their
keyboard at gunpoint. Consistently forcing oneself to write
articles that wear on them will wear a writer down and diminish
their blogging talents. So for the sake of your creativity and
excellence, make sure that you know when an article needs either
a different approach, or a graceful decline.

Why So Many People Have Tried Dating And Are Still Alone
Copyright (c) 2008-2011 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



Let's face it; we all want to find our special someone. Even on
a "No Strings Attached" dating site, I am looking for a regular
girlfriend.

Unfortunately, too many people involved in the Dating Game are
hurting their chances of success, before they even go on that
first date.

I will give you an example or two.

One lady I knew a few years back had been single for years. Her
older sister thought she and I would be a good match, so the
older sister played matchmaker. I agreed to at least give the
younger sister a chance, so I tried to set up our first date.
But, I never actually got the chance to go out with my friend's
little sister.

Why? You might be surprised.

The younger sister would only agree to go out on a first date
with me, IF I promised to marry her!!!

I would not make that kind of promise. Sure, I was looking for a
wife, but I was not going to commit to marriage with a woman with
whom I had never been on a date!

I still see the younger sister's profile in Yahoo Personals
every time I look in her hometown to see who is available. We are
actually 15 years down the road. I have been in a few
relationships, including one marriage, and yet she is still
looking for her next husband.

There was another lady for whom I was very fond, and I really
wanted to date. But her deal was that she would not agree to a
date, unless I would agree to date her for several months.

I did not even know whether I would like her after our first
date, let alone like her enough to date her for several months
based on a commitment made before I got to know her. (She is also
still looking for a boyfriend on Yahoo Personals, as well.)

Put yourself in my shoes. If you were to go out with me, you may
decide after the first date that we are not compatible. So why
would you want to commit to several months worth of dates or even
marriage prior to your first date with me? You wouldn't, would
you?

"No Strings Attached" is the only way to date, if you ask me.
We should have the freedom to go on a date, without having to
commit ourselves to anything beyond that first date. We should
feel that we have the freedom to say no. If we don't work
together as a couple, there should be no expectation to drag it
out for months with no positive end in sight.

We should all have the freedom to choose if we want to go on a
second date, a third date, or even a twentieth date.

We should only seek marriage because we both want to be married
to each other. We should not ever feel obligated to marriage on a
first date or third.

So here I am. I don't want to lie to you. My personal integrity
will not allow me to lie to you.

But, if you want me to agree to multiple dates or marriage before
we go on our first date, then the only way that you and I will
ever go out is if I let my integrity fall by the wayside.

The only commitment I can make to you is that if I like you, we
can go out twice. If we continue to mutually like one another,
then maybe we can go out on a third date. And maybe some day, we
will decide that we would be a good pair in marriage.

And if this is not acceptable to you, then I might have to throw
my personal integrity out the window, and lie to you, just so I
can go on that first date with you to see if we could be a good
match.

If you don't want guys to lie to you about the future, then
don't ask them to commit to something that no person in their
right mind will commit to before the first date!

Dating Rules Explained: How to Turn Your Date Into a Relationship
Copyright (c) 2009-2011 RoseMary Alberts
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



How adults behave on a date depends more on their intentions
towards the other person than it does on other factors. For
instance, a man who really likes a woman is going to behave
differently towards her than he would a woman he is only casually
interested in. Sometimes, it is hard to know the difference.

If you really like a guy, you may not be paying attention to his
body language, the inflection of his voice as he speaks, or the
tone of voice in which he is speaking, and so might miss some of
the non verbal cues that would otherwise clue you in to what he
is thinking, and how he views you. Does he view you as a
potential partner, or a potential bed partner?

We all know the dating rules, or at least enough of them to know
what to do and what not to do on a date. However, if you are
dating for real, some of those rules don't apply. The rules for
dating were largely established a few decades ago to make it
easier for people to date, and figure out how to behave towards
each other when they had no idea how dating between a man and a
woman is supposed to work.

When you date for real, as in you are looking for a lasting
connection with a man, rather than a fleeting infatuation, you
are more likely to put yourself out there, be more honest and
more direct than you would be normally. The interesting side
effect of such blatant courage is that the man you are showing
your real self to is blown away by your honesty and will probably
respond in kind. A real relationship is not based on mind games
or attempts at power plays or control.

If you begin your association with communication, honesty, and
forthrightness, the chances are good that that will be the basis
for the dynamic of your relationship. If you or he goes the other
way, and depends upon a list of antiquated guidelines to look to
for correct behavior, the relationship will never really get off
the ground because neither of you will ever really get to know
the other person.

It's not about being polite, its about being you, the real you.

What happens a lot of times is that a woman will meet a man that
she likes or who fits all of her idealistic relationship
criteria: he is successful, he is good looking, intelligent, has
a nice body, etc.....then she will try to figure out what he
wants in a woman, and she will mold her personality to fit into
what she THINKS he wants. Then what happens?

He is still not having a relationship with her. He is having a
relationship with the woman he thinks she is. But she will soon
grow tired of this game, and he will eventually notice that she
is unhappy but will be unable to figure out why.

Dating for real is scary because it means that you have to let
the other person in. You have to let them see who you really are
in order to start something. Just as you need to see who he
really is. You need to fight through the nice clothes, and the
fancy car, and the sexy voice, down to who he is on the inside.

It's a long, arduous frustrating journey, but at the end of all
that, guess what you will have? You will have a bond with a man
who knows you don't look like Tyra Banks in the morning when you
wake up, but loves you anyway.

So many men are looking for good women, and so many women are
looking for good men, and they are all around us all the time.
They are lonely and confused and have a few dings and scratches,
or even a humdinger of a dent, but with a little care and
patience, and honesty, they could be good for us.

What we put into a relationship is what we get out of a
relationship. If you're dating for real, be yourself. If he
takes off, he is not the one for you. That's all it is.

This is life. We are going to be rejected. It happens. But don't
shy away from being yourself for fear of rejection.

The hypothetical man in the above story just wanted a woman to be
with who he could share his time and his life with. If she had
been authentic with him from the beginning, things would have
been different.

Be Real. That is the only dating rule you really need to follow.

Social Media Management: Quality Social Experiences
Copyright (c) 2011 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



You've heard it before, here and probably elsewhere: Social
media is about much more than exposure or coverage. Simply
putting a friend request out and amassing a ton of retweets is
not enough to achieve genuine social impact.

Now there's some additional evidence that bears this argument
out:

http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleWebmasterHelp#p/a/u/2/ofhwPC-5U
b4

In short, Google officials have said that while the search engine
giant does use Facebook and Twitter as part of the input in
determining a site's SEO ranking, it is a very small, low-key
part. It's more of a modifier of other data than it is an actual
contributor in and of itself.

But before you go slashing the budget to your social media
marketing department, hear out these few issues that explain why
this means more attention, not less, should be paid to social
media efforts.

It's Social, not Digital

Despite being in the online realm (insert all the stereotypes
about the cold, impersonal Internet here), social media is all
about the first word. Social interactions are about
relationships, conversations and, above all, respect and trust.
Violate a trust or fail to provide respect, and you gain nothing
at all. You could even find yourself blackballed as your
reputation flies out of control online.

There is no magic formula to social media success, just as there
is no magic formula to being socially acceptable and friendly. It
involves politeness, attentiveness to the interests and needs of
others (not just your own) and participation in the social scene
as a whole. That's it — hard work, performed with an attitude of
courtesy. It isn't complicated, just slow and requiring
attention.

But Why Bother?

After all, it doesn't correspond to SEO, so why sink more effort
into social media?

Because social media is the key motivating factor in whether a
video, advertisement or even random picture goes viral. The
average user on Facebook has dozens of friends, and not all of
those friends are the same. Say you have three people who are
friends, each having 10 other friends. Only six of these friends
are mutual friends among the three, which means there are 24 more
people to reach. If each of them has the same ratio of friends...
you get the picture.

So yes, adapting to social media does mean changing your
perceptions of how marketing works. People can ignore it... they
can block you online like they can't block most commercials on
television. You have to engage with them directly, converse in
intelligent fashion and have the respect not to bombard them with
your product nonstop. You have to know when to provide helpful
input about your material, and when simply to listen. But the
value of it, the potential return of genuine word of mouth rather
than abstracted "website performance" metrics, is something
worth fighting for and investing the additional time and money
in.

Why Does It Work?

People like to be talked to. We are social animals, by and large,
and having the ability to discuss topics with others is of vital
importance to us instinctively, even if not consciously.

Additionally, people can see through fakes. Everyone has a
customer service story where they're told, "We appreciate your
input," and realize they're just being read a line while their
input is filed in the circular file. People respond far better to
an honest comment, like, "We understand what you are saying, but
for the following reasons we're going to do what we feel
works," rather than being given the runaround. A genuine
response reminds them there is another human being with their own
restrictions and worries on the other side of the screen, and
honesty gets a branding campaign point. Responsiveness and actual
replies to commentary rather than rote recitations is also
important, showing them you are listening and engaged, not just
copypasting.

Indirect SEO

Believe it or not, engaging in good practices on social media
sites while representing your brand will result in improved SEO
for the brand whether Google directly ranks your Facebook
performance in searches or not.

Word of mouth is still the strongest motivating factor in
advertising. It's the coveted Holy Grail. As you engage with
others in social media, you are harnessing this power for your
purposes. People who think highly of you will be more inclined to
check out your website, and tell others to do so as well. Someone
to whom you provide an answer to a particular issue that your
brand covers might respond favorably to a request to link to you
on his site. Traffic will build in the background, enhancing your
standing. A conversation might lead to an interview with an
online publication, or an advertising spot with a site whose
owner you've had chats with.

They key is to understand the value of delayed benefits that
result from being a nice, reasonable person. Gain a reputation as
someone who is worthwhile to talk to, and people will want to
talk to AND about you. The effort is extensive and the value is
delayed; however, it will result in long-term support to your
reputation that will allow your short-term advertising campaigns
to go further, with more weight and endurance than if they were
performed alone.
