Won Me

After 5+ years of online marketing and too many years marketing
offline to mention without sounding too old here - one marketing
technique stands out from all the rest.

This one single technique has turned struggling businesses into
massive success stories, resulted in the top 10% of high
achieving sales people and real estate agents, and will work to
help you get double, even triple the sales from the same amount
of effort.

Am I talking about niche marketing?

Yes, focusing on a specific niche market is important, but
that’s not it.

Writing great copy, yup, pretty important too, but that’s not
it either.

Designing powerful minisites that convert visitors into
customers, now we’re getting closer, but still not there.

Ok, enough teasing.

The one single most powerful, important and fundamental web
marketing lesson of all is…

AUTOMATING MULTIPLE EXPOSURES

TO YOUR MESSAGE

It’s the most universally accepted concept in sales, the more
times someone is exposed to a strong message or product, the
more chance they will buy.

In the offline sales world, its called persistence.

And best of all - its incredibly simple, yet highly effective
to use.

The picture of persistence you have in your mind are no doubt
negative. The jerk who continues to call you again and again -
at dinner time no less - about their long distance program, even
after you already ditched that company a few months ago because
their service sucked.

That’s likely your memory of persistence - but don’t blame
persistence for flat out shitty marketing. Fact is, shitty
marketing is even more rotten when you are exposed to it
multiple times.

Ah…but good marketing becomes GREAT marketing when the right
audience is exposed multiple times.

ONLINE VERSION OF THE PERSISTENT,

SUCCESSFUL SALESPERSON

What if you could get permission from your prospect to contact
them regularly for the next 2-3 weeks, each day being able to
talk to them about the problems and challenges they are
experiencing in their own language.

Hey, what if you could even dream a little with them - share
your thoughts, passions, beliefs and ultimate dreams in line
with your prospects?

Then, once you have gained strong rapport, your credibility is
much higher and your prospect is really connected with what you
are saying, you can offer them a way to get what they want very
badly.

Even better…you can show them how others have gotten from
where your prospect is right now to where they want to be.

Do you know another way to automatically get more people to buy
from you without you having to use any extra energy or skill?

How much do you want in extra sales?

If you’re generating $500/month today, would immediately
doubling that be of interest to you?

What about your $2,500 a month turning into $5,000 or
$10,000/month?

Now we’re talking right?

To make this happen - you must create a follow-up sequence
(course, minicourse, autoresponder, tipsheet, etc…) that
establishes rapport, instantly gains you credibility, takes your
prospect from where they are to where they want to be.

Is it difficult to do?

Quite frankly, yes!

99% of the follow up sequences businesses use today are simply
NOT effective - even doing more harm than good.

GREAT NEWS - THERE IS A FORMULA

You understand the value of time?

When you are starting or building your business, time and
timing is critical. You can’t afford to spend money and time
testing everything - so when you have the opportunity to tap
into a template, a coookie cutter approach to accelerate your
marketing results, it really is like gold isn’t it?

For a small group of us who have stumbled upon this remarkable
formula for developing follow-up email sequences, the results
have been astounding - tripling of response in my own case.

Isn’t automating your income stream what it is all about?

Using the formula provided by Automated Income Streams
(http://www.create-e-mini-course.com), you really can realize
some of the freedom everyone talks about but very few actually
realize in their own businesses.

Remember the purpose of your minicourse - its not just to
inform, throw out content, or blindly send stuff to your
prospects.

Instead, your minicourse is your way of connecting with your
market, setting them up for your offer, telling them you
understand how they feel, know what they want and can give it to
them with added proof.

Purposeful persistence using Automation really is the MOST
important online marketing lesson of all!

How content and satisfied are American employees? Not very!

According to Corinne Maier, a psychotherapist and author of “Bonjour Laziness,” corporate cubicle inhabitants are anything but tranquil and joyous. These natives are truly restless.

This French writer quotes a Gallup study of employed American professionals showing that:

1. Some 17% claim to be “actively disengaged” in their jobs, close possibly to acts of sabatoge, some rather subtle.

2. And 54% claim to be “not engaged” in their jobs.

3. The remaining 29% are “crazy about” their jobs.

These are the attitude findings of “professional” employees. How much worse
would these findings be if employees of ALL kinds had been interviewed by Gallup?

And what leads to such overwhelmingly negative attitudes with only 29% job satisfaction, anyway?

Maier explains:

1. “Reverse Verbal Signals” and “The Idiocy Of Lies.”
Example: a company remarks that it “values jobs” but then has massive
layoffs.

2. Add managerial jargon, gibberish, power struggles, excess emphasis on diplomas and degrees, and employers demanding a lot from employees–but promising and delivering next to nothing in return.

3. Also add blathering about the “corporate culture,” an “oxymoron which is the crystalization of the stupidity of a group of people at a given moment,” says Maier.

4. And she says don’t forget employers talking about “ethics, a detergent word used time and time again to cleanse the conscience without scrubbing.”

Well, what’s an employer to do?

1. Remove malcontented employees better suited to be self-employed.

2. Refer dissatisfied employees to network marketing (MLM) self-employment opportunities. Some of the biggest “misfits” in the employee ranks become the best entrepreneurs.

3. Conduct in-house meetings to teach remaining employees the threat that

outsourcing of jobs to China, India and other countries poses to employers and to employees–motivating them to improve their attitudes, stop whining, and work as a team.

4. Define and remove organizational and procedural stumbling blocks
to a job satisfaction. These can require some attitude adjustments in the
upper management ranks in some cases.

5. Making sure the business has a Three Year Business Plan–and making sure everyone in the company know where the Plan is taking the company and them–and what their role and responsibility for company success.

Remember: cubicle farm folk are restless and negative. 71% are not happy with their jobs. The status quo just doesn’t cut it. The unsettling effects of globalism and offshore outsourcing are permanent. So, act today. Do it now!

This series of articles reveals 14 points about web hosting fine print–things you should know and be aware of when looking for a web host.

Part 1 of the guide gives you 3 practical points, complete with explanations, under which you can evaluate your potential web host.

Be patient in finding your web host: there are thousands of web hosting companies and gazillion offers, so you better take the time to evaluate them and find the one most suitable for your needs.

Please do let us know if your opinion differs, or you have additional things to say. We want this guide to be the most comprehensive, ever-expanding tool in determining your new web hosting partner.

To leave comments, please go to the Best Web Hosting Provider web site.

Let’s get started!

Preparation

First, get clear what you need and want, and write everything down.

Here are the main things to consider:

* Price: put down your maximum price. Don’t expect great service for a dollar a month.

* Scripting: what scripting technology needs to be supported?

* Database: what database your web site requires?

* Disk space.

* Bandwidth: the amount of data transfer.

Second, is there any web host that you like/prefer? If there is, then go with them. If you have any doubts, though, keep reading.

Now, find 3-4 hosts that meet your basic criteria that you just wrote down. Write down the names of the web hosts in the first column.

We’re now going to look at each one of them and see how well they compare.

Price Freeze Guarantee

Ever heard of these? With a price freeze guarantee your price won’t go up if the web hosts pricing changes.

Well, the catch is that your price won’t go down either…

You should know that for the last several years the prices of webhosting services have gone down steadily giving an additional incentive for the web hosts to advertise this guarantee.

What you should find out from the web host is this: if the web host lowers or increases the prices on your package, will they lower/increase your price as well? Does it still hold if you pre-paid for the whole year? Email them and ask. And note the time it takes for them to respond.

In Business Since?

How long have they been in business?

This a very simple piece of information to find out about a web host. You’ll notice that web hosting companies that have been in business for long will have the date prominently displayed on their website. Whereas, a new company can even hide this information.

Why is this important? Because you don’t want your web host to go out of business. Generally, one can assume that the longer the web hosting company is in the business, the lower the chance of them quitting.

Now, any web host can go belly up anytime but if they’ve been in the web hosting business for 3 years or more, you can assume they are making some money, because, one may assume again, most hosts are small businesses and don’t have a lot of capital to keep running unprofitably for a long period of time.

Get Web Host Feedback

What are others saying?

Check the web hosting message boards. There’s plenty of information and feedback on most hosts.

And if you can’t find your host mentioned anywhere, simply ask! Registration is usually free and so many people read the web hosting boards that you should get an answer quickly.

Once you find feedback on your hosts, check the date the feedback was left–old feedback is…well, old.

Also, see the severity of the complaints. Not all sins are equal. And always find more than one post about a particular web host before you make any decisions.

Alright, now search for the feedback on your web hosts. Make sure to find at least 4 posts about each of them. For each positive feedback put + in your evaluation sheet after the web host’s name and for each negative put a -.

In the Part 2 & 3 we will cover these topics:

Thanks for reading and stay tuned!

Whenever a web designer gets a web design project, he or she will require to take a step back and go through the research process in order to complete the job. The research process is a tedious process, it determines how well, and successful will the result of your web design. Ideas for web design will share with you how to go through that research process smoothly and obtain results.

One fine day, you received a call from some client and he requests you to design a website for his company. Over the phone, he briefly tells you what his company is about and asks about the prices, you then fixed an appointment with him for discussion. You will probably get excited about it and starts to get more details of the company by checking them on Google, and thinks about some prelim ideas for the website. At this stage, your research process has already started.

RETREIVING THE DETAILS:

After meeting up with the client, you get a lot of details that will assist you in your design process.
This details applies even when you are designing a personal website.

1. Nature of the Company

2. Client Preferences (Example websites?)

3. Target Audiences (kids? Young adults? Everyone in the world?)

4. Platform (Flash? Html? Php? Asp? )

By organizing these details, you get a bigger picture of:

1. What are you going to design?

2. What style of design are you approaching?

3. Whom you should design for?

4. How will your design work?

5. How will your design please both the audiences and the client in order to be successful?

DETERMINING THE STYLE:

With the information you have on hand, its time to determine the style. For a start, you should base on the client’s description of his company, his nature of the company to give a rough gauge on the design style. Examples below:

Example 1:

Web Hosting business >> High tech web design, sleek and professional design

Example 2:

Dolls and Toys business >> Kiddy, Girly, Colorful, Fun design

COLOR THEMES:

Having a good and suitable color theme on your web design will give users a pleasing experience while surfing through the web site you designed. One of the important techniques is to get a color chart from your local art store or use some color chooser tools to aid in your color selection. Your color theme will affect the mood and feel you want to create.
Colors also have their own meanings. For example, white is clean, blue is cool and corporate, having a white and blue color theme gives you a clean and corporate web design. Orange and yellow are warm and friendly colors, Grey is cool, combining a Orange-Grey theme will give you a friendly and fun mood. Dark colors are also popular among many, because they easily matched other bright colors. A common match is using a black background and light colored text as a combination.

There are thousands and one meaning to choose your color theme. Whether your color theme turns out successful depends heavily on the first step “Determining the style” of your website.

PHOTOS & GRAPHICS:

After getting the colors done, its time to think about the graphics and images. As a graphic says a thousand words, it is good to think about how you want to approach this portion. Here are some recommendations you can try:

1. Stock photos - Some are free, some requires you to pay a certain amount before providing you with high resolutions image. If your client has the money and there are suitable photos he would like to use, this is the way to go. Searching in Google for “stock photos” will give you plenty of results on this.

2. Take your own photos - When budget is involve, usually the project will require you to take a relevant photos and use them as supporting images on the website. Having a mid-range camera should do the trick as images for website are all on low resolution. Seldom there is a chance for you to use an image more than 640 x 480 pixels.

3. Creating Graphics Images - A web design will always need custom-made graphics images. For example, icons for a Shoe section, button for submitting information. You will need some skills in creating the graphics of your needs, or you will feel stuck while designing. Consider looking for tutorials on creating certain effects, like rounded corners, Mac alike buttons, pattern backgrounds and more. Learn about vector graphics tool like Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Fireworks. They can help you to create graphics, mockups and layout fast and efficiently. This will greatly aid in your next web design project.

INSPIRATION AND REFERENCES:

If you already have some inspiration on how to design the layout, great, but if you do not, consider looking at related websites for some references on how they are being done. A search in Google also reveals some websites of the same genre. You can also check out ready-made templatesas well. I am not teaching you to copy exactly, but as a new learner, you should take reference and see how they are being designed.

Why bother looking at them?

Reference sites will give you ideas on usability, color theme, ideas on relevant images, navigation, features and many more guides to work on your web design project. Always consider them as useful references to help you whenever you need inspiration and ideas for your web design. It is all about looking more, reading more and getting your eyes and brain more exposed to the web design styles. www.sitecritic.net has alot of website reviews by different web designers all over the world and is worth taking a look.

Final Say

In the entertainment industry, there is a wide market for
magicians. Many companies, events coordinators and organizers
rely on magic to break the ice, heighten socialization
opportunities and give enjoyment to their audience and clients.

If you are really serious about pursuing a career in the magic
and illusion industry, you have to undergo three steps to become
a better magician or entertainer.

1. Hone the proper attitude. In any industry, being street wise
can get you somewhere in your career but having the right
attitude can get you anywhere. Complacent, arrogant and ignorant
magicians have no chance of surviving the magical world.

2. Development of one’s performing persona. This is what an
aspiring magician should work on. But most often having a strong
personality can help one to get to the top. Usually, magicians
are judged by how they deliver tricks with ample consideration
on their stage presence.

3. Development of a show or act. There are three things you
ought to do in developing your performance.

First, master your first set of techniques. But do not leave it
to that. You must constantly reinvent yourself.

Second, cross examine the routines you mastered. Are they
consistent with the persona you have created for yourself? You
should match your routines (e.g. mental effects) with your
serious magician persona.

Third, list or round up all the routines you have practiced and
mastered. This will be your skeleton structure for your act/s.
Now, think of ways to connect your routines to form a cohesive
performance.

Magicians can be hired online as sites provide opportunities for
them. Every state has their own groups of magician for different
events. Customers often click on a website when looking for
groups of magicians in their state. There are people who might
be handling the magicians and contact them for you. They are
categorized as low-end and high-end event coordinators. They are
the ones who choose the set of magicians.

The low-end bookers for these magicians may not know exactly
what you need unlike if you seek the expertise of high-end
bookers. They will know exactly the kind of magicians you need.

So, would-be magicians can find jobs from companies offering
such services to people. Aside from the common events that
necessitate the entertainment provided by magicians, they also
can do close-up shows that allow them to bring the magic right
in front of smaller groups of audiences.

A magician should remember the investment he has to put in the
profession like the time and effort for intensive practice,
money and magical instruments. And most of all, a magician
should possess an innovative mind to succeed in this field.

FOCUS on Your Business Program.
Written by: Raymond Johnsen

If you are anything like me, you probably find yourself often thinking of new projects to start, new things to achieve.I did that in my beginning on Internet. That in itself is very beneficial and indeed a required ingredient for success. The
trick is to know where to draw a line.

The trap I kept falling into was hoping and looking for new and better programs all the time,easy to find new once,but i forgot about them the next day,instead of working on the programs you already joined and going for the results there.

I would often actually get dragged into gathering more and more information on new opportunities. I would spend time on eveloping them right then and there. I would be stealing the precious time away from the current project I was
supposed to be working on. Obviously, it was a trap.Be aware of this trap! The current project would suffer, because there is only so much time in a day.No one gets results form Surfing the Internet for “Get Rich Tomorrow “and
thinking,there must be an easier way!There is not,only hard work will give you success.Focus and work on your Business !

Then I would get discouraged with my current project and drop it because I didn’t see any results. Think long term!One of my future projects would become my current project for the time being, until I’d drop it in favour of the next project.Its a trap,yes.

This is how most of New to Internet do it!!Dont do the same! Can you see the trap? And it gets even worse: If you keep on doing this for long enough, you will actually program your subconscious mind NOT to complete a project EVER. You will forever keep on failing. Eventually it may even filter through to other areas of your life.I did the same in the beginning,so much waste of time and money!

There is to many Traps out there.It’s easy to see how working on your online business can become such a trap quickly. Internet is overloaded with information. I won’t even mention the plethora of rubbish that exists online. But there is so much valuable information out there, go and find them,that developing your online business to a profitable stage can take forever, UNLESS you start employing the tremendous power of focus.Its the only way to do it,when you understand this you will get results!

Here is only one way,focus.To be a success in your online venture, you must not be working on more than two projects at a time, EVER. And preferably work on just one project, particularly if you only do your online venture on part-time basis.

And by that I mean, don’t get distracted. Don’t dilute your precious time. Work on your project, whatever it may be, until completion.Learn the program,take the training section over and over again,until you really know how it works!

Many programs can be difficult to understand,but take your time to understand it!

Learn how to!By all means, plan you future. If you want to work on the future ideas, set an hour per week aside for doing just that. And then each week spend that hour thinking about your new projects, write them down. When the time is up, go back to your current project.

I will guarantee you one thing: If you develop and use the power of focus, your success will get better and better with each project. Thats how i got from not getting any results to see great results every week. Focus.

On the other hand, if you keep falling into the trap of working on too many projects at the same time, the chances are you will get nowhere.

However, it is not necessary to use the loan for this purpose and effectively the cash can be used at your discretion as long as it is paid back with interest during the short loan term. However, this does vary with some providers charging 35 interest and so on. Unexpected costs can hit even those who keep a tight grip on their finances if something goes wrong in the home, a family member needs support or you receive a larger than expected bill you might require cash to help you get by until your next wage slip.

The charge you need to observe is how much you pay back on the amount you borrow - this is a fixed sum dependent on the individual provider. However, for lengthier journeys you are better to use a method of transport that specialises in long distances such as a train or plane, payday loan are certainly a short-term special.

Air soft guns are a very popular type of gun. Compress air is the main force behind the shooting guns. The air is what moves the bullets out of the end of the gun. Air soft guns are otherwise known as a pellet gun and have amazing speed and even accuracy when you are using them at a target. The best place to practice with one is going to be the backyard and you should have a background to make the pellets stop in place.

Air soft guns are used to replace real firearms. Air soft guns can be divided into three groups because of the way that they are powered. Some are ran by electric power, and there are others that are moved by gas. It is up to the person that is going to use the gun and what they want for their game.

For safety reasons, air soft guns are low powered. The higher-powered guns will result in a better accuracy and even performance. The most popular of gun is the pellet-stroke gun. They are compact and do not have lot of dangerous recoiling to deal with. These guns are used by many different kinds of people and the most important thing to remember is that anyone who uses it should maintain the right safety precautions.

Anytime anyone uses an air soft gun, they need to use the right protective gear. Even though someone practices complete safety and are very cautious, it is still possible that someone get hurt while using the guns. These guns do leave small welts on people. It is defiantly not recommended that you point the air soft gun at anyone. You should use the proper targets and backgrounds to stop the pellets when they are shot from the gun.

Eye protection is a must for anyone that uses an air soft gun. You do not want to risk loosing an eye or causing permanent damage to your eyes by being hit with a pellet that has gone the wrong way. You may want to take the extra precautions by wearing protective facemasks to prevent any damage to the face at all. It could happen that you get hit in the face and loose a tooth or even worse.

An air soft gun is a great gift for some one that has always wanted to learn the responsibility of learning the uses of a firearm. These would make a special gift for someone also. The one thing that you should make sure before you give one is to make sure that the person is able to use the gun in a safe way. Anyone that has or receives an air soft gun should learn the proper way to use one first. It is important to understand the basics and the safety rules so that you are able to use the gun in the most fun way possible.

Improving your marriage doesn’t necessarily have to involve huge changes on your part or your spouse’s. Many times, the cumulative effect of small changes can make a significant difference in the quality of a relationship.

It can be discouraging to only focus on the big, sweeping long-range changes that you feel are needed, such as improved communication or increased intimacy. Instead, focus on making several small changes that can affect the quality of your relationship right away.

Once you generate some positive energy flow, it’ll be easier to tackle the larger issues. Plus, you’ll be more motivated to put forth the effort and to keep trying.

Here are seven easy ways you can improve your marriage:

1. Schedule date nights on a regular basis. Did you know research by Idaho State University shows that one of the secrets to a happy marriage is scheduling regular dates?

This study involving 132 couples found those who went on dates more often (the average was six dates a month) were more likely to be satisfied with their marriage than those who spent less time together.

So get out your calendar and schedule some times for you and your spouse to go out and spend time together doing something you both enjoy.

You might have dinner in a restaurant, go dancing, see a movie or play, or listen to live music. The important thing is you’re spending time together and having fun.

If you have children and have been neglecting this part of your relationship for a long time because you don’t want to leave the kids with a babysitter, there’s probably something else going on underneath the convenient “reason.”

Doing everything with the children and not spending time alone with your spouse can be a way to try to avoid sex or to minimize romance. It’s a mistake to think this won’t hurt your marriage in the long runbecause it will.

2. Show respect when you’re talking to your spouse. You may not realize you’re doing damage to your marriage when your spouse is talking to you and you sigh with exasperation and roll your eyes.

Psychologist John Gottman has conducted research on what attitudes increase the chances that a marriage will end unhappily. He has found contempt is the most damaging, and he says rolling your eyes when your spouse is talking to you is a classic sign that communicates contempt.

The actual words used in interactions between a couple are only part of what is being communicated. The non-verbal component is also communicating loudly. So you’re giving your partner important information about how you really feel about him (or her) when you show disrespect.

Start becoming more aware of your behavior when your spouse is talking to you. You might ask your spouse if she (or he) feels disrespected during conversations and interactions with you. But don’t ask for honest feedback unless you’re prepared to receive it without getting defensive. The goal is to become more self-aware and improve your relationship with your partner.

3. Take the television out of the bedroom. You may be surprised at the research findings involving late-night TV.

A survey by Italian psychologist Serenella Salomoni found that among couples over the age of fifty, those who kept TV out of the bedroom had sex an average of seven times a month compared with 1.5 times a month for couples with TV’s. The implication is that late-night TV can translate into a lot less sex for many couples.

It’s easy to see how this could happen over time without a couple even stopping to think about the long-term effects on their sex life and intimacy. Watching television becomes a habit and the path of least resistance.

If removing the television from your bedroom sounds too drastic, at least consider initiating a conversation with your spouse about these findings and whether your marriage might benefit from less TV watching in the evenings.

4. Make time for vacations. The Wisconsin Medical Journal reported that when 1500 women were asked how often they took a vacation, 20% said that it had been six years or more. These non-vacationers were more likely to be stressed and unhappy in their marriages.

Every day life can get so bogged down with details, work, and loose ends that fun and romance can easily become buried and neglected. Remember the old saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

The same is certainly true of relationshipsif there’s no time to play and have fun, then dullness, fatigue, and boredom often take hold. Passion and romance thrive on stimulation, building positive new memories, and the excitement that change brings.

Just leaving home and seeing and doing different things can be energizing and perk up a stale relationship. The vacations don’t have to be expensive or exotic. Consider staying at a state park or camping. Explore off-season rates and advertised motel specials. Put on your creative thinking cap and see what’s possible.

5. Remember to hug your mate each day. Doctors at the University of North Carolina have found that hugging boosts blood levels of oxytocin, a relaxing hormone that is linked to trust.

According to Kathleen Light, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry at UNC and one of the study’s authors, “It is safe to say that oxytocin is linked to emotional as well as physical closeness in partners….”

Make it a point to initiate more hugging, and don’t be bashful about asking for what you need and want. Ask your mate to join you in some bear hugs each day or a session of snuggling on the sofa as you talk. You’ll both feel better afterwards!

Note: If “hugs = sex” in your marriage, it’s time to make a change. Many wives complain their husbands only touch themhold hands, hug, kiss, snugglewhen the husbands want sex.

These wives often try to avoid physical contact with their husband because they don’t want to get him aroused. This leads to a pulling away and a lack of on-going closeness and connection. Thus, it’s important that hugging not be just a prelude to sex.

6. Celebrate days that are special to the two of you. Take the time to record the special days on your personal calendar so you won’t forget.

What days should you celebrate? For starters, include the day you met your spouse, your wedding day, your partner’s birthday, your birthday, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, and any other dates that have significant meaning or cause for celebration.

Through the years, I’ve heard many spouses express hurt that their mate never buys them a gift, even for their birthday. There’s no special dinner or birthday cakenothing.

They might not receive a Valentine’s Day card or a Christmas present, either. I’m always sad to hear this, because it seems like such a loss of an opportunity to celebrate. And the message delivered to the mate is she (or he) isn’t valued and treasured.

Life is short, and you can’t take your beloved partner for granted. Look for every opportunity to celebrate your love, your marriage, and the fact that you’re alive!

7. Smile More Often. A genuine smile can warm the heart and make you more attractive to your spouse.

That’s because smiles are sexy as well as contagious, and the energy they produce can give you and your spouse a needed boost just when you need it the most.

Smiling connects you to others so you aren’t aloof and separate. A warm smile invites your spouse to come closer, to connect with you, and to linger in your presence. You’ll feel better and so will your spouse.
