Social Marketing Explained

By Justin Harrison

Marketing socially is a new method that enables you to promote your business and describe your products and services using the internet, blogs, social networking sites, and social media. Many advantages exist for social marketing and they include the ability to create relationships with customers.

Be open to try new things. When you talk to people who have blogs, don't push your product, just be honest and tell them that you are wanting to have them review your page and see if they are interested. If they are they will take a look and then start to review your site and then if people like what they see, they will tell other people. And then your company will grow.

The more often people hear your product's name the more likely they are to remeber it in the future. However, since the way users view your brand will greatly influence how well your marketing campaign will work, you will want them to think of positive experiences. You can help this by making funny videos or articles, offering helpful content or making competitions based on your product. If you utilze the right skills social marketing can help alot when establishing a new brand or enforcing knowledge of an existing brand.

Do some research and look for people who have blogs and then talk to them, tell them what your product/service is. And be honest and tell them all about it. If the blogger is interested then they will be willing to help you and before you know it, you will start to see a lot of people on your site and you will have a lot of business.

When you gain potential customers on our site, remember to be open and honest and if the customers have questions or concerns, be there to answers any questions they may have. And answers the questions in a timely manner. Don't ignore your customers. Because this will turn them away from you and this will give you negative feedback and that could spell trouble for you.

Since social marketing only costs you your time, a single sale is a good return on your investment. If you have limited means, using a social media could be the best way to market your product due to the low cost of their services.

This brings us to our last point. Quite simply the greatest benefits of social marketing are it's, "Do it yourself," approach. There is absolutely no outsourcing required. Anyone who can do basic computer operations can access the internet, and thus take advantage of all the numerous social networking sites. These sites will greatly help gain exposure of their product or service. - 15275

Bloggers and website owners are always on the lookout for interesting things to put on their websites. If you can give them articles that are noteworthy, they will begin to refer to them on their blogs and websites. A good article can actually end up being read by huge numbers of bloggers on the lookout for stories to blog about.

Due to the fact that the goal of many marketing campaigns is to improve sales, this is something important to consider when it comes to social marketing. Even though social media interactions don't commonly generate sales they do provide a way to develop a positive relationship with customers and provide brand awareness which can generate more sales in the long run.

One of the best things you can do for your business is word of mouth, you can talk to people whether it be on the internet in social forums or on the street or in stores. And you would be surprised as to how many customers you will start seeing.

If you use the internet to draw customers in, there is no over head costs, because you can do this yourself. And then you will have more money you can put into your company. Any one who can use a computer can set up a company web page. This is so easy to do. I mean people use the computer everyday for everything. - 15275

Exit Grabber Funnels Your Exit Visitors For Additional Profits

By Henry Zeng

If you have a deep look at your site traffic stats, you may have noticed a shocking truth about your site visitors. Yes, you're right, most of your visitors weren't even reading your web pages!

The fact: 75% of the visitors are spending 10 seconds or less on web pages.

Anyway, even if your visitors decide to move on without buying any products, they are still valuable as potential customers, to you or to someone else.

I see exit traffic as a way for you to offer your surfers something else that they might be interested in, if they did not get what they were looking for in the first place, and it is a way for you to increase your site revenues at the same time.

A lot of marketers funnel their exit traffic to another site or a affiliate link by popping up a small browser window, which allows them to get another chance to monetizing the visitor before he is out of their control.

You've probably seen them before, but there really aren't much of them any more because most people think they were simply too annoying. All kinds of software is available nowadays with a feature which automatically detects any kinds of popups and blocks them before you see them.

But a FREE software called Psychic Pops perfectly deals with this problem:

http://PsychicPops.info/

After I made some small changes on one of my sites with this smart software I found the result was amazing! I got 412 new subscribers to my list and quite a few sales with no extra effort on my part!

Psychic Pops is a really smart desktop software can grab your visitors back when they try to leave your website.

When it detects that your visitors are thinking about leaving this page, it displays a unblockable pop-up hover to show a message of your choice to remind them "Don't leave to fast!"

You can just have them to join your list, fill out an exit survey or simply direct them to another web site.

Now I just made this software available for everyone to download here (some websites even charge 80 bucks for similar software), and it also comes with a master resell right that anybody can sell it for 100% the profit:

P.S You have a chance to get the much advanced version plus a few bonus for $14 only at the one-time-offer there.

And I'm also offering instant affiliate commissions to your Paypal account to make you recoup your investment as quickly as possible. Give it a look. - 15275

Avoiding Bathroom Damage Due to Water

By Pat Johnson

There is a lot of plumbing happening in your bathroom. If trouble breaks out you may not notice it right away because everything is hidden in the walls and floors. When you do finally catch wind of the problem it may already be too late avoid a costly repair bill.

Better to identify and correct a problem when it first develops than to be oblivious and only notice a leak after it has had a chance to do major damage. Make a habit of checking the main fixtures regularly so that when something out of the ordinary occurs you will notice it and take action immediately.

The toilet and surrounding area can be your first stop. Toilet leaks are especially troubling because they can bring with them leaking sewage. This presents a serious health hazard and requires special attention. Don't take this area lightly.

Observe the tank and pipes for broken or leaking seals. Watch for any signs that indicate water is getting into places it doesn't belong. Pay special attention to the floor, specifically any spots that feel spongy or soft.

Inspect the bathtub and shower. This area takes in a great amount of water so it needs to be in tip top shape. If water is getting out of the contained area then a disaster is just waiting to happen.

Check the caulking around the tub for spots where it has come away and water could get into. Fix these. Next inspect the tiles and replace any that are missing or cracked. Repair any imperfections in the grout between the tiles too.

Lastly look under the sink and counter. Sink pipes are frequently contained within a cabinet which hides any slow leaks. Check the area frequently to avoid being taken by surprise later. Be on the lookout for stains in the wood.

You will thank yourself later if you take the time to maintain this routine inspection. Repair bills from water damage in the bathroom can be extreme. You don't want to wait until things are out of hand when you could have prevented them to begin with. - 15275

Steps to Get My Guy Back

By Sarah Summers

So you want him back? Getting back together with an ex boyfriend after a breakup is not always easy. So many people don't succeed in winning their ex back. It's not really our fault. No one ever handed us an instruction book when we first started dating that taught us how to handle a breakup. Much less, how to get someone back after a breakup.. Here are five steps to help you win his heart back:

1. First and foremost, ditch the negativity. You need to get rid of the negative thoughts. You have to stop feeling sorry for yourself. You have to be willing to be strong. Don't let your emotion and especially depression keep you down. You can't achieve a goal, if you can't keep your emotions in check and your mind clear. Self-pity is destructive and won't help you at all, even in other avenues of life.

2. The past is past. Recognize the fact that the relationship in its prior form is gone and things will never be quite the same again. You can't let your mind keep wandering into the past. Focus on what is going on now. If you realize that the relationship of the past wasn't perfect you're heading in the right direction and laying the foundation for you and your ex boyfriend to get back. Remember you are most likely glossing over all the bad stuff that happened. If you broke up, it's because your past relationship had problems. Start anew.

3. Don't be obsessive. One of guys' major turnoffs are girls who seem desperate. Especially ex boyfriends. You may want to seek comfort by hearing his voice or seeing his face, but if you really want him back, you must back off for a while. Don't continuously call him, text message him, email him, or go to his place or where he hangs out just to see him. Give him time to realize he may have made a mistake. He may begin to actually miss you. Following him around like a lost puppy will only make you look pathetic, and make things harder for you.

4. Change yourself. Be someone men would desire. New clothes, makeup, hairstyle... whatever suits your fancy. If you've picked up a few pounds, start exercising and eating healthy. When you look good on the outside, you're going to start feeling better about yourself on the inside. By feeling good on the inside you will be confident and happy. When you're confident and happy, you will project this image to others. There's nothing more attractive than the aura of confidence, and even an ex-boyfriend isn't immune to this.

5. Wait. Healing takes time, and if you've followed the four steps the next time he sees you he will probably be sorry that he broke up with you. Keep your physical contact with him to a minimum, if you do see him. Seeing you looking your best and seeing that you've become confident and happy will make him desire you. If you limit your physical contact with him, this will drive him crazy. Don't jump right back into another relationship with him, take it slow. - 15275

Understanding the Cause of Cellulite

By Patricia Hammond

Cellulite is one of the foremost causes of insecurity among people. Anyone with cellulite would simply wish to cover up even at the beach. More determined individuals however are set on getting rid of cellulite. Understanding the main cause of cellulite is the first key to helping prevent or get rid of cellulite.

Spotting Cellulite

Cellulite is that dimpling, clustered, soft and tiny bumps and lumps under the skin. Cellulite is often found on the buttocks and thighs. It was believed for some time that cellulite was a disorder among fat women. It has since been established however that cellulite can also be found among thin women and sometimes even among men. Thin people can often find out if they have cellulite by pinching the skin in between the thumb and forefinger. Dimpled pinched skin is a sign that there is cellulite underneath that thin appearance.

Fats and Cellulite

Cellulite is mainly caused by body fats. Underneath the skin are collagen connective tissues that separate the fat into honeycomb compartments. These connective tissues also connect body fats with skin tissues. The fats in the compartments may begin to expand due to weight gain or increased water retention, making the connective tissues expand. When the tissues have expanded beyond their capacity, they will harden and make the skin inflexible. When this happens, the fat will begin to spill over, resulting in a lumpy appearance.

Cellulite Cause Theories

There are various theories as to the cause of cellulite or why fats begin to accumulate as they do. Genes and hormone levels may cause cellulite. There may be no way to avoid cellulite if you are genetically predisposed to develop them.

On the hormonal aspect, cellulite may develop in women because of the swinging levels of hormones during puberty and pregnancy. Increased levels of estrogen may be a cause of cellulite production.

Poor blood circulation may also be seen a possible cause of cellulite. It is generally accepted that healthy blood flow helps in the elimination of body waste including excess body fats. Blood circulation may be impeded by a tremendous lack of body movement compounded by a diet that is high in fats. A general lack of exercise and a poor diet therefore may result in poor blood circulation and poor fat burn up that may lead to cellulite production.

Free radicals in our body may also be one cause of cellulite. Our body may contain excessive amounts of free radicals which may attack other cells in the body. This may cause damage to the circulatory system and to the skin organ itself. Damage to the circulatory system may mean less efficiency in body waste disposal and less chances of vitamins and minerals being transported to body cells and tissues. Damage to the skin may result in a reduction in collagen and elastin thereby speeding up the visible effects of cellulite.

Cellulite and Treatment

As treatment, some people take oral medications and pills to eliminate or reduce cellulite. Oral treatments however may not be completely effective. The damage to the circulatory system may prevent the effective transport of oral medication. Topical treatments are almost always more effective. Pick a topical treatment that is rich in free radical fighting antioxidants like Revitol to help with proper blood circulation and skin firming. - 15275

Internet Marketing - Are You Tired Of The Hard Sale?

By Damian Papworth

My internet passion started back in 2003. A little eBook set me on the road, it was Google Cash by Chris Carpenter. I set up a few campaigns in a relatively competition free Australia and started making money directly promoting affiliate programs.

I was quite successful at this in the beginning and then had the pleasure of watching the market flood with new entrants, all doing the same thing, forcing keyword bids up. I also had the pleasure of watching Google continue to refine their rules to make their search engine perform better, often at the expense of affiliate marketers. I watched and modified my approach until the time required to exist in the market, was no longer compensated by a justifiable remuneration.

So I changed tack. I'd pretty much learned all I could with pay per click advertising anyway. At this juncture I started building and optimising websites. I spent thousands working out the most successful and enduring methods of search engine optimisation (SEO) and applied all the techniques to my own businesses. I still own about half a dozen successful websites. Only one promotes my own product, a tourism service I set up a couple of years ago. All the others sell products in affiliate programs or advertising space.

As my skill grew, so did my reputation. The result of this was a continual stream of business owners who, having heard of my expertise, wanted to hire me to sort out their web presence. These business owners all had two things in common. They all saw the potential the internet had for their business and they all had been taken advantage of by unscrupulous internet operators who took their money yet added no value. So I took them on and applied the same strategies to their websites that I applied to my own. Much to their delight, their websites now create business for them.

There is a real issue with the internet industry, it is packed with these bogus operators. There are graphic designers who put together internet masterpieces, charge a fortune for the website, yet no-one can find it. There are marketing professional who apply all their skills, yet they know nothing about the internet so their message doesn't find an ear to fall on. Our industry is unregulated and we are largely self trained. Unfortunately this has left the industry open to the unscrupulous and ignorant. Our clients have been damaged and the industry suffers also.

Every week I see these operators at work. They operate on the assumption that they know more about the internet than their clients and therefore can create sales through misdirection. They promise the world, deliver very little and once paid move onto the next unsuspecting victim.

For example, my tourism business hires out surfboards on Australia's Gold Coast. Do a Google search on "Gold Coast Surfboard Hire" or even just "surfboard hire" for that matter. I'm sure you'll find me, mine is Gold Coast Surfboards. Clearly for the product I am selling, I am very well optimised in the search engines.

Despite this I get the so called "professionals" writing to me every week trying to sell me their SEO services. "We can put your business on steroids" they tell me, getting you on the first page of Google on such terms as "Surf Board Accessories" and "Holiday Rentals".

I think I've figured out what these charlatans do. I think they find a small business website and mine the search engines for "sort of" related terms, until they find one which is pretty low on Google. For my website, the type of terms that they come up with are "Surf Accessories" and "Holiday Rentals". Terms which are related but not really relevant. Once they have found one, they'll construct a sales pitch based on the traffic they'll send my website by optimising it for those terms. Of course there is always a decent amount of scare mongering in these sales pitches, telling me how much of my business is going to my competitors, business which I can claim for my own.

This sort of thing really scares me. It makes me realise that there are people in my industry who manipulate our clients to make a quick buck. They are quite happy to modify a website to attract irrelevant traffic in order to make some money, with little care of the damage this does to the customer's business. To embellish, if I had have listened to these hard selling conmen, my website would either be attracting lots of people who needed surfboard wax or fins, or in the Holiday Rentals case, people who are looking for hire cars or accommodation at goodness knows which destination. One thing is for certain, people visiting the Gold Coast would not be hiring my surfboards.

If you are under pressure from an internet salesman to sign up for their optimisation services, my advice is to first get a really good understanding from you clients, as to which search phrases they use on the internet when they are looking for your product. If the salesmen are trying to get you to optimise other phrases, don't do business with them. At the very least they have not researched your market enough to work on your website. At its worse, they are just manipulating you in an attempt to wring some money out of you. Either way, it will damage your business.

If you are thinking about using the internet as a way to promote your business, ask around. See if you can get a referral for an internet professional who has built and marketed a website for someone else in a way that brings them business. The good professionals run their businesses on referrals with little self promotion. When asking around though, be very clear with people. Tell them you are looking for someone who markets websites, not someone who builds websites. There are just too many people out there who will charge you a small fortune to build a masterpiece, one though which no-one will ever find.

If you are an internet professional reading this article, its time for all of us to smarten up. We need to look after the industry and we can only do this by being ethical in the manner in which we operate. So please, stop going out trying to extract a pound of flesh, go out to add value to your clients. Once you are adding value, the new clients will come, following your reputation. Continue operating as you are though and soon no-one will talk to internet professionals anywhere. - 15275

VAT Planning Opportunities - Accountant Sheffield

By Andrew Histon

If you have a VAT turnover which is under 1.35 million, it would be a good time to switch to cash accounting. If you are usually owed more than you owe, and you sell goods on credit, at least the first payment of the scheme would be reduced. Because outputs and inputs are not based on amounts invoiced, but rather monies received and paid, you only pay VAT when it is collected from customers.

If your turnover is under 150,000 and you have small amounts of input tax to reclaim each month, the Flat Rate Scheme may increase your retained profits. Each business sector suffers a different rate of VAT so the only way to see if this scheme would be beneficial is to compare the cost of VAT payable under the existing method with that on the Flat Rate Scheme.

Even if you don't qualify for a special scheme, don't forget to claim bad debt relief. Any debt that is over six months old qualifies as a bad debt and you can reclaim the output tax you will have paid. However, if you have invoices unpaid from your suppliers more than six months old, you should repay any input tax you have claimed!

Online, you can also file your VAT return, which will give you seven extra days to file the return. The payment will not appear on your bank account for a further three days if you pay by direct debit. Tax Payment on Account Considerations

In January and July each year, self-employed people will be used to making payments on account of tax liabilities. For the accounting year ending in the tax year to 5 April 2008 together with half the anticipated liability for the accounting year ending in the tax year to 5 April 2009, you will pay any balancing amount of tax in January 2009.

It is assumed by the payment on account that profits for the accounting year 2008/09 are the same as those for 2007/2008.Payments on the account can be reduced if you anticipate a fall in profits as a result of the current economic climate, which can be discussed with your usual member of our Tax Team. However, reductions in payments should not be carried out if you do not anticipate a reduction in profits, as it may result in punitive interest charges and the possibility of penalties.

The Revenue debt helpline has been recently established as a means of helping people with cash flow problems, so if you are having difficulty meeting any VAT or tax payments, call 0845 302 1435. One of our clients has used this recently and found it to be a positive experience.

VAT Changes It was mentioned in our November Financial Monitor which covered the Chancellor's Pre Budget announcements that services or goods which were paid for or invoiced before 1 December 2008, but were supplied after that date then the rate of VAT can be cut from 17.5% to 15%. Suppliers who wish to cut the rate of VAT, although they have no obligation to do so, must issue a credit note by 14 January. If this does not happen, VAT must remain at 17.5%. - 15275

Building Your Profitable Website: Include These Things

By Angie Sandy

The internet is a growing and booming medium for aspiring entrepreneurs. However with all of the competition, it takes a little more than a basic website to profit. To build a thriving and profitable website, youll need a few key ingredients.

A Memorable Customer Experience

A fantastic customer experience is paramount to a great and profitable website. How do you create that fantastic experience? First and foremost, in order to make a decision to buy anything, your customers need to be able to find what theyre looking for quickly and easily. Make sure all your information is right up front and easy to find.

Customers will want to read product descriptions, have shipping calculations be quick and easy and a FAQ page is a great way to take care of all those recurring questions.

A sense of community is also a vital ingredient for a fantastic customer experience. This can be created with, a frequent buyer program, superior customer service and even your about us page can help foster a connection.

Valuable and Consistent Content

Youve likely heard the term Content is King. Its overused for sure but it still holds true. Content not only provides your website visitors with the information theyre seeking, it helps drive search engine traffic to your site. However, organizing and uploading all of this content can be a full time job if you dont have a content management system to get the job done quickly.

A CMS enables you to create, edit, password protect and delete content without the assistance of a webmaster and without needing any programming skills or knowledge. You can upload and manage a high volume of content quickly and easily.

Simple Checkout

The checkout process is where many businesses stumble. Customers demand, and deserve, a simple and very secure system and many shopping carts just dont measure up. Items are dropped, customers are asked to jump through too many hoops, and quite often all of the information they need, like shipping charges, isnt apparent until they hit the pay now button.

A quality shopping cart system will provide your customers with an easy and secure transaction and you with valuable data and reports at a moderate price.

Easy Navigation

Include a search function on your site and give your visitors and customers the ability to instantly find exactly what they need. For example, a pet store owner with this search feature on their website makes it easy for a prospect to find that dog coat theyre looking for. Forcing them to search throughout pages of items is a sure way to detract from their shopping experience.

Providing this functional search feature enhances your customers experience as well it provides you with valuable keyword data to incorporate into your marketing strategy and product line decisions.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

When building a profitable online business SEO plays a very important role in driving website traffic and sales. A key feature for a website builder is an easy SEO system which makes linking, content, and keyword tagging including meta and alt tags a straightforward process.

Dont forget to include a sitemap in your website. Sitemaps will help you stay at the top of your search engine rankings by informing the search engines each time a change or addition is made to your website.

Personality

Online competition can be fierce and that is when branding can help build a business. Branding begins and ends with who you are and what youre about. While logos and slogans have their place a great way to showcase your business personality is through your content and your website design.

Creating a great and profitable website starts with a website builder that provides the tools necessary to create a powerful customer experience. Choose your builder wisely, look for one that is easy to use and provides the tools you need to create the business you desire. - 15275

Monitor your newborn baby for safety

By Sakuragicho

As proud parents of a newborn child, there is nothing else in the world that you treasure more than your baby.

If you could find a way to monitor your baby 24 hours a day, surely you would.

Well, I have some great news for you.

With today's technology, it is possible to keep tabs on your baby at all times by using a Baby Monitor.

Baby Monitors are electronic devices that allow you to monitor your baby via audio or video, even when you are not in the room with your child.

There are several varieties of units available to monitor your baby, such as an analog version, a digital version and a digital wireless version.

There are some good points and bad points of each type, however, the digital wireless unit stands out compared to the others.

It is more expensive than the others, but it has all the bells and whistles for the ultimate in monitoring your child.

With a Wireless Baby Monitor, you are free to move about your home without worry, and still be able to keep tabs on your infant.

During the daytime, a monitor will free you up to take care of necessary tasks in your home, like cooking and cleaning, while keeping a watchful eye over your child.

At night, it will keep you alert and informed of any potential problems your baby may have during his or her sleeping period.

Furthermore, a digital monitoring unit operates relatively free from static that is common in most analog monitoring units.

When comparing prices, the digital wireless monitor is the most expensive, at around $175, and the analog units are the cheapest at around $45.

When it comes to the best monitor for the safeguard of your newborn child, I would recommend selecting a digital wireless unit over an analog monitor. - 15275

Why is Office Design so Important?

By John Read

Paying attention to office design and building maintenance are important parts to going about doing business that many company owners overlook. The layout of office interiors can have a deep end result on the disposition and efficiency of workers and executives. Providing a well-maintained workplace is important in terms of health and safety issues. Through the use of proper design and upkeep, businesses are able to enjoy some sort of control over the contentment, welfare, and effectiveness of not only their workers, but themselves also.

It would appear to be obvious that the better off and in good health a person is, the more productive that person will be. Although company owners possibly recognize this concept, they quite frequently disregard the consequences that office design can have on their workers. Many times, building maintenance is disregarded, resulting in bad air quality or hazardous areas within the office. Furthermore, the erroneous colors, equipment setup, or level of noise can negatively effect the character and minds of those working within such a situation.

One great way to commence improving office design is to think about the total amount of untidiness that is presently in the place of work. Office interiors that permit little room for movement can bring about emotions of being "closed in" or claustrophobia. A lot of home offices wind up set up in this way, with an excess of office equipment or furniture taking up most of the available room. By opening everything up and creating space, many workers will experience a sense of freedom. What must be realized is that these emotions can turn into a more constructive mood, more contact with others, and more teamwork.

Transporting in plants and flowers can have a fantastic result on the workers working in a workplace. Office interiors filled with nature can have a soothing effect. When an office feels too sterile, workers can once more feel closed in, which might result in a more confrontational office space. Try using windows that expose green lawns or garden areas. An additional effective idea to improve office design is to be attentive to the noise level. If building equipment or nearby traffic are too deafening, the noise can have a harmful impact on the people working. Try using extra carpet, blinds, or office dividers to aid with any extra noise.

An office design alteration may be required when the office interiors are comprised of design schemes and furniture from two to three decades ago. Numerous older office spaces are darkened with shadowy colored furniture, rugs and drapes. By reorganizing the office with lighter colors and additional open spaces, the work environment can be changed from a dreary experience to one that helps bring a cheery and peaceful feeling to each person who enters the reorganized space.

Building maintenance must be considered when creating any office design alterations. Maintenance is necessary to keep all parts of the workplace in excellent working condition. Normal office cleanings maintain the office free from grime and dirt. Objects such as the roof need to be sustained in order to avert water leaks, which will just result in additional costs to the business when the inside of the workplace experiences water damage.

One aspect to building maintenance that is usually overlooked is the air quality. Any office design arrangement needs to include the right total of waste cans to collect waste the right way. Refrigerators must be in any kitchen area to keep food from going bad. All waste needs to be disposed of in a punctual manner. Plants and flowers must be kept watered and maintained. Furniture should be kept away from any vents and be sure to keep up all heating and air conditioning systems.

Even if all offices have precise actions that need to be acted upon during the course of each work day in order to be prolific, don't ever underestimate the power that the right office design and building maintenance can have on the workers in charge of finishing each duty. Whether working in a home office or a large corporate building, office interiors are a huge part to creating the environment that best helps bring in the revenue everyone is concerned with. - 15275

Top - Article Directories

By Paul Hagen

Some webmasters try to use articles from free content directories to get visitors to their site and make some money. This is mostly important for those who have just begun working as an affiliate for several companies and do not yet have any funding, yet need to built small niche websites to visitors to their site so that they can begin making revenue.

Although this can sometimes be the only option for those who are running on a non-existent budget, it is not a way that will effectively build your website or revenue. There are a few potential reasons why this may be detrimental to your business building efforts.

To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget.

From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level. Make sure that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample. He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.

Problem #3 - Author Bylines Most free content is only given to you if you agree to place the authors byline under the article (you can get into trouble if you try to use it without following the stipulated rules). This poses a problem because most author bylines include links. When a reader gets done reading a really intriguing article, there is a strong possibility that they will click on the author's byline link rather than your affiliate links. This is the entire reason why these authors offer free content to begin with, so that they may get their name and links out there to the public. Using this type of content may mean shooting yourself in the foot and losing possible profitable website visitors. Once you put these three problems together, you are looking at a serious decline in revenue simply because you used free website content from article directories. Although it may be the only option for some, if you have the funds to buy your own original content, then you should go this route. If you don't have the finds, however, you may be better off writing your own content and then hiring professional services once you have made a profit to work with. - 15275

Preventing Damage with Sonoma Termite Control

By Don Pellis

A home in Sonoma may be the best decision you and your spouse can agree on. It's easy to choose a place where the weather is great. However, as in any other place, you would want to know more about termite control.

Termites Everywhere

Sonoma termite problems are not an isolated concern. The truth is that termites are everywhere and can do extensive damage to your property without you knowing about it. Sonoma termite infestations may begin when underground colonies of termites thrive and find their way onto your property.

Once Sonoma termite workers get into your house, they can eat the wood from inside. This may mean that you may not immediately see the problem until it's too late. By that time, the colony near your house may already contain millions of occupants.

Termite Clues - You may get an idea of your Sonoma termite problem by observing the conditions of your home and the outward clues that termites leave behind. Moist soil, moist wooden areas and moist wood based debris near your home may encourage termites to thrive and find their way to your home.

You would know if some of them are already around if you see termite swarmers around your home and discarded wings on sills. Mud tunnels on the areas of your house touching the ground and hollow wood pieces may also be signs that you have the beginnings of a Sonoma termite problem.

Pre-Construction Protection

You can usually avoid termites even before you have your home constructed. Make sure that the soil is treated with tremiticide before the foundations are even built. You can also initiate Sonoma termite control by having your wood pre treated before using it on parts of your house. The problem however is that a lot of home buyers prefer to have pre constructed homes rather than build from scratch. If this is the case, there is no guarantee of pre treatment. You may have to employ a Sonoma termite pest control company for post treatment or prevention.

Sonoma Termite Companies

You might think of performing your own Sonoma termite control methods. Your lack of skill and knowledge however may not ensure the complete extermination of an underground termite colony. Hiring Sonoma termite experts are always a better option. Before termites can be killed, experts would have to carefully assess the condition of your home and the extent of termite infestation. The results of their evaluation will help determine the exact method needed for your termite problem. Expert pest control agencies will also know how to effectively and safely apply treatment options without damage to people or property.

Choosing a Good Company

Scout for termite control companies around Sonoma and select the best one. Make sure that you ask people who have had successful extermination procedures to recommend you a good company. It would also be a good idea to shop around and compare services before deciding to go for a particular company. To give you more peace of mind on your initial pest control experience, you should ask for second opinions. Beware of companies that may pad their prices. - 15275

The Importance Of Detailed Management Of Your Adwords Campaign

By Brian Basch

It seems wherever you turn you will see ads. They proudly claim that people can make huge profits from using Adwords to sell their products and what is more they only have to work 2-3 hours a day! The ads proclaim that this is easy to do and what is more anyone, including you can do it.

What they fail to tell you is the fact that working just 2-3 hours a day is not the norm. In fact few people can perfect this type of regime. There are just too many things to take care of, especially if you are new to the game. In fact no other promotion requires as much micro-management as an Adwords campaign.

Bear in mind a few points. Your initial keywords will be found by using Google's database of frequently searched keywords. Then you will compile a second list of keywords that you think are relevant to your business. Then you will compare the 2 lists.

When you have all your keywords put together you will then start to bid on them. Now do not just write an email to Google offering them a certain amount of money in return for using specific keywords in your advertising campaign. This would be an unreal thing to do. Google has a far better system of bidding than this. Google positions ads and obviously the ads at the top will have the greatest exposure. These ads will be the moneymakers for Google, and you.

Remember that Adwords is strictly a pay per click advertising system. You will pay them for every click you receive for your ad; this does not take into consideration the amount of sales you make. Google makes better profits when there are a lot of clicks for an ad. The highest bidder will gain the most exposure.

After you have finished the bidding procedure and you ad is functioning, pay special attention to your keywords. Remember that keyword popularity can come and go. What is popular today may not be popular a month or so from now. Keywords that are unpopular will not bring in the traffic and sales.

You may not become a millionaire by working on your Google Adwords campaign for just few hours per day. However you will become an expert at multi tasking and micromanaging your campaign. As you learn more you will very likely find that Adwords will indeed bring in profits for your business.

So take advantage of all the great tutorials and tools that Google Adwords provides and you will soon become an expert in micromanagement. Once you do this you will be able to spend less time on your campaigns and more time on making a success of your business. - 15275

Affordable Home Insurance Quotes -- Steps To Bigger Discounts

By Chimezirim Odimba

Affordable Home Insurance Rates: You can enjoy high value home insurance without breaking the bank. All you need to achieve this end are pieces of information (That is, if you make use of them). Let's get into the tips you need to enjoy more affordable rates...

1. You'll save if you buy all your policies from the same insurance company. This is called a multi-policy discount and is available with all insurance companies. But you might save more with different insurance providers than you'll make from a multi-policy discount.

2. You will get cheaper rates if you have motion-sensitive lighting for your home's exterior. Thieves understandably do NOT like to operate in any environment they could be easily seen or caught. The risk of burglary is a strong factor in checking a home's risk to an insurer and, by extension, your premium.

3. A house that has shatter-proof windows will make it easier for you to get cheaper rates. You will get very reasonable discounts by replacing your windows to these if you live in a place where hail storms and high winds are prevalent. You can as well meet with your agent first before undertaking the changes as he or she is in a better position to advise you on how to save the most.

4. Have you being with your home insurer for up to three years? Then make a demand for a loyalty discount. Nevertheless, I don't expect that you stick with one insurance company for that long just because you're waiting to qualify for a loyalty discount.

If it is about paying less, you'll almost always be able to pay less than you are paying at any point in time. The key is doing very extensive shopping. Get quotes from any highly rated home insurance company you know you've never got one from and as well always obtain and compare home insurance quotes from up to five quotes sites about twice every year.

5. If you strengthen your roof you will get lower home insurance premiums. This is very true if you live in the East where high winds are a serious threat. If you want to know how to strengthen your roof and get discounts for doing so, ask your agent.

Finally, don't forget this for any reason...

Visit not less than five insurance quotes sites. Using not less than five quotes sites raise the chances that you'd obtain better home insurance quotes. This is because insurers not covered by one site would be covered by another. And, you know that since your chances of receiving lower home insurance quotes has to do with the range of quotes you get, the more insurers you get quotes from, the higher your chances will be. Requesting for your home insurance quotes online will help you save far more if you sacrifice just 25 minutes to obtain quotes from at least 5 quotes sites. - 15275

An effective way to find a successful and good teacher is to ask friends and acquaintances for a name or two, as people tend to want to help each other out.

Every private or class music teacher has different policies regarding attendance and lesson payments. Call various teachers and talk to them about their policies and their rates, and stay away from those who don't want to discuss it.

Every new older or very young piano student has to choose for many piano methods that are designed for beginning students. When you decide on a teacher, discuss the books available and what is the best for your needs as a student or if you are taking an online course the music is already furnished for students. Next, it is obvious that you should have a keyboard or piano available for you to practice your assignments.

Everyone wants a chance at becoming more beautiful. Glowing skin is a goal of each and everyone of us. As we look at beauty magazines, we wonder what type of wrinkle cream those models use. But price can be an issue. Not everyone can afford so much money to get that desired look.

Yes the brands come out with advertisements that these "Best Wrinkle Creams" have a base of aloe vera, cucumber orange etc but most have the base of cream. Have we stopped to view the ingredients in total and have spotted that these creams may have other things that may or maynot be good for us Or say these are really good Wrinkle creams Are these worth the price?

Many of these creams are really very good for the skin but at times these erupt allergies. Sometimes if these creams are used by youngsters with avery soft sensitive skin these may cause wrinkles or rashes So we require to first sample them on the back of our hand and only then on our face. If it doesnot agree then the whole bottle is of no use.

How Much Should One Expect to Pay for Prescription Glasses?

By Amy Nutt

Prescription glasses are not a cheap item, no matter how you look at it. When you buy glasses, you have to pay both for lenses and frames, not to mention the cost of the exam itself. If you need glasses, knowing how much to expect to pay ahead of time is very helpful.

The Cost of Frames Varies

The cost of the frames for your prescription glasses varies tremendously from pair to pair. Designer frames can cost several hundred dollars. For that price you get designer frames that would be the envy of any Hollywood star. You can also buy more affordable frames at discount prices for around $50 or less. Online merchants make it possible to get frames for even less, sometimes close to $20.

There are some special features that can increase the cost of frames. For instance, frames made out of a titanium-based allow known as Flexon are able to return to their normal shape after being damaged. These are great for people who work in high-impact jobs or play sports on a regular basis, but they also cost more. This lightweight, corrosion-resistant material is very popular, making it very popular, and therefore more expensive.

The most affordable frames are plastic frames, but again, designer models will cost more. There are many different metals used to make eyeglass frames as well. High-end frames are often made out of titanium or aluminum, creating a polished look. Monel is the most common metal used in eyeglass frames.

The Cost of Lenses

Frames are not the only things that cost a lot when you are buying eyeglasses. Lenses also contribute to the price of your glasses. Single prescription lenses come in a variety of materials and with several coating options, and each of these adds to the cost.

The cheapest option for your lenses is plastic. Plastic lenses are lightweight and fairly durable, but they do scratch easily. You will pay more to get a scratch-resistant coating on these glasses, but you may find that it pays for itself by making your glasses last longer. You will also pay more if you need special features like slim lenses, which are often necessary if you have a strong prescription.

Polycarbonate is another option you have for your frames. These are lightweight and provided added UV protection, but they cost more than plastic. If you have a strong prescription and wear your glasses all of the time, the lighter weight and UV protection may make the cost worthwhile.

If you have bifocals or trifocals, your lenses will cost even more. Remember, these glasses are basically two or three pairs of glasses in one pair of lenses. Other additional features, such as glasses that darken when you go in the sun or glasses with a glare resistant coating, will increase the cost. On average, frame can cost between $50 and $300, depending on what you choose for them.

Options for Saving Money

Since a pair of glasses could cost as much as $400, depending on the frames you choose and the lenses you need, you are probably wondering how you can save money on them. One option is to shop online. But cutting out a lot of the overhead that a brick and mortar retailer has, online retailers can offer the same lenses and designer frames for a much more reasonable price. Look for a site that has a money back offer, however, because you do not want to be stuck with a shoddy pair of glasses by a less-than-scrupulous company.

Another option is to shop at a 'big box' retailer. Discount stores like Wal-Mart and warehouse stores often have optical departments. These locations typically have a lower cost for their materials because they buy in such tremendous quantities, so you will save money. Remember, you have options if you shop around, so take your time to find an affordable eye care provider. - 15275

Optimizing Videos for Youtube - How to Get Great Looking Videos

By Marcus Richard

Ok so, youre posting videos on YouTube and they lookwell they look like junk. Youre wondering what the heck is going on and how the heck to fix it, right? Well thats where we come in. This article will give you some quick tips and tricks to getting the best quality you can out of YouTube until they change the how and what of their service to allow for better videos or HD content.

In the meantime, read through this article and youll get some better looking videos in the long run.

Resolution " Taking a video at a resolution too small for YouTube means that when it goes into the service it will need to be stretched. This is a surefire way to lose most if not all of the quality of a video and even may make it unwatchable. Your best bet for a safe resolution is the recommended YouTube size of 1280x720, also known as 720. Now youre all gasping because you can get HD quality. It will make for a large file but YouTube can handle up to 1GB files as long as theyre not more than 10 minutes (actually 10:59).

Bitrate " Without getting into the technical mumbo jumbo, this is how much information each second of your video is. The more information means the better quality generally. So when youre making your video, editing or converting youll want to get this to somewhere around 6 Megabits-per-second and 8 Megabits-per-second. This will give you a large file size that should fit into the YouTube limits (1GB) and still give you ample quality after the YouTube compression process. This is a good way to make sure your video will retain some semblance of what it looked like when you made it.

There are several other factors that you should think about here as well. The Codec, software that encodes your video to a particular format, for YouTube that is .mov or .mp4 so make sure you have it in that. If you dont youre going to need a piece of video editing software like Quicktime Pro, Premier, or some other software on the market with multiple file format compatibility. Audio should be set in 44.1KHz Stereo MP3 or AAC format on your video and finally get your framerate at 30fps or higher to make sure theres not a lot of jitter and jumps.

Now that youve got that all set, save your file and upload to YouTube. Having set many of your settings at or better than YouTube you are making it a touch easier for them to compress. So wait until its done and voila! You have got yourself a good looking YouTube Video. - 15275

Simple Copywriting Trick

By John Anghelache

The late, Gary C. Halbert, is my favorite copywriting mentor. Not only was he ultra-successful but he could teach the art and science of crafting ad copy like nobody's business.

Gary was all about leveraging resources to make life easy. For instance, imagine you decide to write a book about getting healthy and fit.

What's the best course of action?

Should you study weight loss science? Should you spend years doing clinical trials? Should you roam the world looking for the perfect diet plan or diet pill? Well not really. Because there is a much easier way to access the most cutting edge weight loss science, clinical trials and new diet breakthroughs. Without doing all the work yourself. Curious? Then listen to this.

Rather than doing things the old school way, Gary might tell you to go out and get the best sellers on health and fitness. Take all these books and start reading them. As you do so, write down notes in a notebook. Make sure to extract all the really juicy stuff readers would be hot read about.

Armed with this research you write your version of a health and fitness book. Only this book has all the great info from the other books you read. The exclusive details that bring value to your book. The end product is a book filled with the very best information on health and fitness.

Easy does it best.

This lesson applies to crafting promotions. You can shortcut the entire process and create great space ads... websites... and... other forms of advertising quickly.

The formal name for this strategy is... swiping ads. And it really does make it easier. Back in 1996, Gary taught a little bit about swiping during a seminar in Florida. The main focus of the seminar was on swiping great ads for your own promotions.

Look, if you don't want to become a top notch copywriter and don't have time to learn all the formulas, etc. then swiping is the way to go. All you have do is learn how to do it right.

Do that and you'll experience these benefits...

** Thing's like writer's block will no longer plague you. Everything you need to begin writing a great ad will be there in the swipe. Blundering your way through thinking about what to write won't be a problem either. The swipe contains everything you need.

** You'll crank out ads in record time. The swipe ad is there to help you write faster. You no longer have to figure out what to say to a prospect. Everything is there for you in the swipe.

** Your copy will be up to 300% more effective. Whenever you model success the odds of success are on your side. When modeling a successful ad you stand a much better chance of writing a winner.

So the idea is to build a swipe file and use it when creating ads. - 15275

The Need for Term Life Insurance

By Barbara Olson

Term life insurance provides insurance for a specific period of time. Once that time period is up the person being insured can drop the policy or pay annually increasing premiums to extend the coverage. If the insured should pass away then the beneficiary will receive the death benefit money. In most families the major bread winner will have a term life insurance policy as it can be very damaging to families when the main means of financial support is cut off.

It is always difficult to determine if you should carry term or permanent life insurance. Term life insurance really only offers death benefits such as funeral costs etc, so if you die then it is worth having the policy. If you outlive the policy then it was a waste of money. Permanent life insurance offers both death benefits as well as something like a "savings account". So if you die you will get back at least some of the money you put into the policy. If you only want your policy to last 10 years or less then you should go with term life insurance. If your policy is for 20 years or more then permanent is the best, though permanent life insurance is more expensive then term.

If you are interested in just receiving death benefits then term life insurance is the best option. Term life insurance has monthly or quarterly payments and as long as you do not miss a payment you can make a claim on your policy. For the type of insurance you are receiving term life insurance is the simplest type of insurance.

Term life insurance is available for long time periods at very low prices. You can take out a term policy to cover a specific time, such as the time needed to pay off a loan. Many individuals take out a term policy when a major life change has occurred such as having children or buying a home or taking out a mortgage. You can normally renew your term life insurance policy until your mid eighties.

The main benefit from term life insurance is that you receive large payouts after a short time period. Having term insurance coverage is great if you are carrying debt as it can cover the debt instead of leaving your debt to your nearest relative. No matter why you have taken out the coverage it is a great way to ensure your loved ones are taken care on if something should happen to you. - 15275
