Subliminal power, mind power. Take over the world

2009-05-24T11:45:00.001+07:00

Mind power is the tool that you need to take over the world. This statement is not really overbearing nor it is sweeping. There has been many studies all over the world that have testified to the power of the mind and how far it can take an individual. We are talking about ambition, drive and energy and these are the building blocks of success. If you want something bad enough, you will eventually get close to your goal or devour it completely. This is the problem with people nowadays and sometimes, we cannot place all the blame on them. The brain is a strange creature and sometimes, it can dampen, tire and lower our energy levels with as much ease as it can do the same.

Coupled with the fact that we are not using the brain to the fullest potential, then you get a formula for failure, or in this case formula for complacency. The power of the mind is actually quite limitless when you think about it. How do you measure the level of creativity, brilliance or inspiration. These are intangibles produced by the brain by everyone, and some of us seems to have more than other people. With stress, the world as it is today, entertainment, media and technology, these things have contributed to dampening the spirit living in the brain - the very spirit that would lift us to victory.

But of course, the personal development industry has taken a very keen interest in the subconscious mind, the second, inner mind within our mind that is constantly aware and constantly in action. The thing about the subconscious mind is that it is a double edged knife and for us, it seems that it has a limiting factor for most of us. It commands everything about us, from our physiological aspects to our mental aspects and we need to be able to reset and empower our subconscious to let us be all we can be. The technology is called subliminal technology, and it has been around for at least 40 years, first appearing for mass use in the 70’s when advertising companies used subliminal advertising to produce an effect within audiences in cinemas and make them crave for some of their products.

In the end of the day, such positive and extraordinary effect cannot be ignored and through the years, there has been a concerted effort to produce a sort of technology that can be used by consumers all over the world. With the help of the personal development industry and the internet, the subliminal CD has been produced and with this comes the ability for all of us to release the power of the mind and allow us to reach for the stars. With just 20 minutes a day, listening to messages embedded in sound, we are able to release the true power of the mind and release us for success that we could only have imagined in times of the past.

Positive self affirmations to create a supercharged you

2009-05-24T11:38:00.001+07:00

The technology of self affirmation is something that has been spawned from the New Age philosophy of affirmation and positive thinking. Positive thinking is the belief that if you bombard yourself with enough positive messages on a daily messages, you will become a better person. In fact, there is nothing really revolutionary about positive self affirmation, it is actually the human technology that allows us to remain positive in a world surrounded by dark and bad news.

With this outlook, we will have new energy and smiling at the world can only force it to smile back at you - sometimes. Affirmation actually came about from long ago, when religion was first introduced and some beliefs practices the daily chanting of positive messages within the followers as well as the people around them. This was believed to create an aura of positive thinking within the religion as well as the surrounding society. There has been no evidence how effective it was, but in simple times, such methods would be very effective. In this day and age, affirmation has taken on a more modern and much more up to date methodology for its application and when talking about the new form of positive affirmation - it is called subliminal CD’s.

The basis of this technology has its fundamentals on affirmation, where it uses messages, positive in nature to persuade the brain to get out of the doldrums and become and new person. But the good thing about this new technology is that it does not require you to repeat positive messages to yourself on a daily basis. This is done for you in the form of an audio CD. But the CD itself has no messages, - well messages that you cannot perceive. The basis of affirmation technology was that if bombarded enough times, you would be able to dull the critical faculties of the brain and allow these messages to pass through and become apart of your subconscious cycle.

Once this happens, it is easier to believe because it becomes trapped within the deep recesses of the mind and will get distributed to all sectors of the brain - enveloping your life. Now, you do not need to see whether or not this will work. Within the subliminal CD are soundtracks that have been engineered and embedded with secret messages (which you are privy to), designed to be heard only in the recesses of the subconscious mind and when this happens, the effectiveness of this multiplies. Once these messages get into the pre conscious mind, you are able to achieve anything. You can release your potential, gain much more ambition, get rid of your addictions, raise your energy levels and change aspects of your character that you are not such a big fan of. You can be a better person just by listening to a CD for less than 20 minutes a day and there is nothing to stop you now that there are variations of the CD available online for easy buying.

Mastering Your Mind Power: Learn to Trust the Law of Cause and Effect

2009-05-24T11:35:00.000+07:00

Every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause. How do you determine what is cause and what is effect? Do you have a role in producing either? If so, just what is your role? If you do not have a role, is there someone or something that plays a role for you in this cause and effect law?

hese questions go straight to the heart of every thing and every condition that exists in our world, including ourselves. The rule of thumb that I have learned and use to make the distinction between cause and effect is the following. Anything that exists that is perceptible to the physical senses, i.e., sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell, is in the realm of effect. Generally, all that exists that is not perceptible to the physical senses is in the realm of cause.

All causes that relate to me exist within me, just as I believe all causes that relate to you exist within you. Cause consists of the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and mental images in my mind, my consciousness. Cause consists of the never ending string of possibilities presented to me in consciousness from which I choose.

By choosing from the possibilities, and making that choice the object of my focus and observation (cause), I know what effect to expect. Here is the rub. If I do not consciously choose from the endless stream of possibilities, I inadvertently, unconsciously make choices (cause) anyway.

By neglecting to consciously make choices of the thoughts ideas, and mental images on which to focus, unconscious choices are made for me, drawn from my past experiences. When the effect of that inadvertent, unconscious choice (cause) comes into my experience (effect) I will likely look at other effects as the cause.

Be forewarned. Occasional, half hearted, focus cannot be viewed as cause and is not likely to change much in your life outcomes. A pound of salt dropped into Lake Michigan is not going to change the lake into a salt water lake. If, however, you direct a powerful stream of salt into the lake over a significant period, it will make noticeable changes in the makeup of the lake.

I trust that you can now see, as I have seen, that mastering your mind power is critical to your success in accessing more of the riches of life. The riches are there for you. It truly does not matter what the conditions of your life have been up to this point.

You can begin now, or continue, to shift your consciousness in the direction of your desires. Make your desires the object of your focus (cause) and you will no longer have to live in fear and worry in relation to the effects you experience.

Once you feel, really feel that you have accepted the object of your focus into your deeper mind (cause) trust the Law of Cause and Effect to do its work. It must produce the desired outcome (effect) if you let it. Do not look out upon the effects around you seeking the appearance of your desire. Each time you look into the world of effects and do not see it, you will likely begin to reinforce your old belief that you DO NOT HAVE IT. You in effect, begin to push your desire away before it can materialize.

This I know for sure. You can claim or re-claim control of your own mind power. You are the most miraculous of all living beings on earth. You are the owner of a mind that is so stupendous, that as you truly begin mastering your mind power and consciously using it, there is no dream that you can dream that you cannot achieve.

To realize your fullest potential is firmly in your hands

2009-05-24T11:32:00.001+07:00

Everybody wants to be successful in their domain of functioning in one way or the other. But one thing that makes it all the more tough is that people are not aware of how to become successful and in many cases they are not even aware what exactly is meant by success in life.

We all have had different definition of success at different stages in our lives. We all have in one way or the other worked really hard in achieving goals that we thought would bring us success and lots of financial as well as social clout. But in the long run they realize that once having achieved their agendas with a lot of confidence their joy is only short lived. In many cases the approach adopted by the people to achieve their goals and targets is altogether flawed and leads to distress in the long term. What the people especially those who want to achieve something in life really need is some kind of leadership training and success coaching. In the present day world of the internet where practically the whole of the world is connected with each other it is not very difficult to find a mentor or some kind of success coaching to realize the true meaning of success and also the manner in which it can be relished and made the foundation of further achievements.

There is a very beautiful concept of law of creation that introduces the individual or an organization in the manner in which the dreams can be seen and realized. The leader ship training is something that needs to be understood in the correct perspective. There are many losers around who present themselves as the fountain head of all that needs to be known in this world regarding success. It is necessary that individual that is desirous of achieving success in every sphere of their life understand that right thinkers and successful people can now be approached on the net in order to seek proper guidance and motivation. Success coaching and leadership training needs special attention thus one must visit the proper destination and right people.

Further Thoughts On Medication

2009-05-24T11:20:00.001+07:00

Anxiety medication, and any medication in general, is something to be taken only with caution, and in many cases, doctors will unnecessarily prescribe medications that are not needed (need and want are two terms that people have a difficult time distinguishing between).

The patient’s goal in seeking medication is to reduce the distress that is being experienced. Many patients often mistake anxiety medication to be a cure for a certain condition; however, this is not the case. What medication really does would be more properly termed to be symptom suppression. By this term, it is meant that rather than actually curing the condition and removing it from the patient, the patient’s anxious symptoms (swirling head, upset stomach, sweaty palms, shaking arms etc…) are reduced to a much more manageable level. The anxious thinking, the core of the problem, is still there. A person will not wake up the next day, being on the new medication, and suddenly turn into a relaxed and confident socialite who can handle anything. A more realistic picture will be that that person is still anxious in all the same situations as before, but to a lesser degree.

What doctors do not tell the patient is how to put this artificial relaxation to use in terms of treating anxiety. Doctors, as a whole, emphasize only half of the human being, the physical part, and the other half, the mind, is incredibly powerful and can have great physical effects. (If one finds a really good doctor that emphasizes both body and mind, one should hold onto this doctor at all costs). What one should really be doing, now that he or she feels more relaxed, is confronting anxiety provoking situations and gaining skill in relation to managing anxiety. That way, when one decides to cease medication, one’s relaxation level will remain as a natural part of one’s personality because he or she has identified healthier thought patterns that reduce anxious symptomology.

Another caveat to medication is that many times patients will habituate to the medication. To habituate means that the person’s body becomes well acclimated to the medication, and the medication no longer provides its beneficial effects. So, while medication may be helpful, its effects are not necessarily permanent.

A very important point to remember about seeing doctors is that medicine, as a science, takes a reactionary approach to treating diseases and conditions. Rather than treating the root cause of the problem, in this case anxiety, medicine treats its symptoms, which as shown before, does not necessarily completely change one’s life for the better. Choosing to treat the symptoms and not the cause of the problem means that patients will have to remain on expensive medications for longer periods of time and engage in even further methods for reducing symptoms (seeking a different medication, or an additional one to suppress negative symptoms provided by the first medication). This creates an elaborate web of methods that are expensive, and most importantly, only temporary. Prevention is a far more effective long term method of treating anxiety, and it is one that most doctors ignore (the good ones don’t ignore prevention). The reason that prevention is not discussed more in medicine, or other areas of mental health, is that prevention is very difficult to measure scientifically, and therefore it is hard to demonstrate with raw numbers that prevention actually works. However, based on the elaborate webs of symptoms and reactionary treatment that are created by today’s medicine, it seems that prevention would be a very useful strategy to employ.

How can one employ prevention in terms of treating anxiety? The answer is by treating the root problem. The more one learns to successfully process anxiety (a superior method to medicine of treating anxiety by burning it off and getting it out of one’s brain and body; this is discussed in more detail in Successful Processing of Anxiety), and the more that one learns to prevent anxiety by engaging in appropriate methods , the better off one is in the short and long term. When one learns to change his or her thinking and perception of life and its events, this leads to a permanent change in behavior, something that medicine alone cannot accomplish.

The final negative aspect to consider about medication is that even though the medication might be approved for sale by the Food and Drug Administration, this does not mean that all the effects of the drug are known, and many times drug companies will pay off officials to look over the possible negative effects of medication. In many cases, although no anxiety medications come to mind, science will find that for a few years, a certain drug is safe; then after a long term study of the drug is conducted, it is found that those who take it receive no beneficial effects for anxiety, or that perhaps they experience significant side effects (like increased risk of cancer or heart disease) many years down the road.

While this article has spent much of its time exposing all the shortfalls and drawbacks of medication, it is important to

remember that medication can have very beneficial effects. Many of the severely anxious are so anxious that performing the smallest task, like going to a restaurant to eat, is a very stressful task. For those who are severely anxious like this and who cannot perform basic life functions (like working for example), medication is a necessary solution because it enables them to do the things they need to do in order to survive.

In the end, the best way to view medication is to look at it as a place of last resort. The motto of less is more is a good framework for thinking about medication. Medication, it seems, has a short term effect that is not curative. However, it can be very beneficial in a handful of situations, so it may be a viable option for some, but the best long term solution that leads to permanent happiness and relaxation is a preventative and multidisciplinary approach. There is no objective set of criteria that can be used whether or not to determine if one needs medication. However, the guidelines in this article have hopefully helped to clarify this decision making process

Why is goalsetting important?

2009-05-24T11:15:00.001+07:00

Why is goal setting important? Because without goals you don't go anywhere! Whenever you notice anything worthwhile being acieved anywhere, it's because someone is behind it with a passion, a belief and a goal!

When it comes to your personal life and your business, goal setting can make the difference between mediocrity and excellence and accomplishment.

Much is said about goal setting. But just how do you set and accomplish goals?
Is there some goal setting formula or strategy that can be employed to increase your chances of success?

Thankfully, YES!

What follows is a blueprint for success in goal setting.

The Goal Setting Blueprint is as follows:

STEP 1. Develop a DESIRE to achieve the goal. The desire must be intense. How do you intensify desire? Sit down and write out all the benefits and advantages of achieving your goal. Once the list goes between 50 and 100 your goal becomes unstoppable.

STEP 2. WRITE your goal down. Once it goes into writing it becomes substantial and starts etching itself into your subconscious.

STEP 3. IDENTIFY the obstacles you will need to overcome, find the help you will need to acquire, e.g. knowledge, people, organizations. In each case write them out in a clear list and analyze them.

STEP 4. PUT A DATE/DEADLINE on your goal. Analyze where you are now in relation to the goal and then measure how long you will reasonably need to complete the goal. Then set the latest outside date.

STEP 5. Take all the details of steps 3 and 4 and make a PLAN. List all the activities and prioritize them. Rewrite the list, optimize it, perfect it.

STEP 6. Get a clear MENTAL PICTURE of the goal already accomplished. Make the mental image crystal clear, vivid in the mind's eye. Play that picture over and over in your mind.

STEP 7. Back your plan with PERSISTENCE and resolve. Never, never, never give up even when you hit setbacks.

Follow those steps religiously and you will be successful at goal setting. These are the steps I use within my Lottery Business

DANGER - You can read this and think, "That sounds interesting. I must try that sometime".

SO - Take these 7 steps and rewrite them on a card or in a notebook for frequent reference. Keep them on your computer in a note on your desktop.

Use the 7 steps as a BLUEPRINT. Keep checking your goal against the 7 steps frequently to measure your progress and keep yourself on track.

Then and only then will this article make a difference to your personal and business life.

Now the question is, what goal are you going to set today?

What goal can you set for your business which is going to lift it to new levels?

What goal setting are you going to implement in your personal life which is going to have a positive effect on you and your loved ones?

Take some time now and THINK about it!

Then? JUST DO IT!

How to Enhance Relationships, Increase Fulfillment & Empower Yourself by Being Authentic

2009-05-24T11:11:00.000+07:00

How often do you not say or do something because you're worried about how it'll be perceived? For most of us, myself included, this happens more often then we'd like to admit.

We live in a culture that is starving for authenticity. We want our leaders, our co-workers, our family members, our friends, and everyone else we interact with to tell us the truth and to be themselves. Most important, we want to have the personal freedom and confidence to say, do, and be who we really are, without worrying so much about how we appear to others and what they might think or say about us.

Sadly, however, even though we may say we want to live in a way that is true to our deepest passions, beliefs, and desires; most of us don't and it's not that easy. We've been taught by our parents, teachers, spouses, friends, co-workers, politicians, the media, and others, that it's more important to be liked and to fit in than it is to be who we truly are. In addition, many of us assume that who we are is not good enough and therefore we're constantly trying to fix ourselves, or to act like others who we think are better than us.

However, as the famous 19th century author and poet Oscar Wilde so brilliantly stated, "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."

What It Really Means to Be Authentic

Authenticity is about enjoying a new sense of freedom to be who we really are--ourselves, natural and without a mask in our relationships, our work, and our life. It takes courage, commitment, and depth to:

- Look within ourselves
- Tell the whole truth (even when we don't want to)
- Be vulnerable
- Admit, own, and share our true thoughts, feelings, desires, insecurities, passions, embarrassment, dreams, and more.

However, being open and real about all of these things (and more) is what it means to be authentic in life.

Five Principles for Being Your Authentic Self

In order to utilize the power of authenticity in your life as a way to enhance your relationships, increase your fulfillment, and empower yourself, here are five key principles:

1) Know Yourself - Make a commitment to your own personal growth. Discover more of who you are. And, seek out and allow the support, honest feedback, and guidance of others.

2) Transform Your Fear - There's nothing wrong with having fear, it's the resistance and denial of fear that is the real problem. When you admit, own, feel, and express your fear, you have the ability to move through it, transform it, and utilize its power in a positive way. Taking action in the face of fear is courageous and empowering.

3) Express Yourself - Have the courage to speak your truth boldly. Deal with conflicts directly. Express your emotions fully. Be vulnerable and real about what you think and how you feel. While on the surface you may worry that this will be seen as "weak," in actuality expressing yourself completely gives you access to real freedom and power.

4) Be Bold - Live, speak, and act with courage, passion, and truth – even if it's difficult or scary. Go for what you want in your work and in your life. And get back up when you fall down, which you will.

5) Celebrate Who You Are - Appreciate and honor who you are, what you do, and the gifts and talents that you have. Celebrating yourself is not about being arrogant. It's an awareness of your own power and it's the key to self-confidence, fulfillment, and authenticity.

Being your authentic self is not for the faint of heart, but once you're willing to truly engage and do the work to become more real - your life, your work, and your relationships will be more exciting, meaningful, and fulfilling!

How to Attract Women Effortlessly Everytime

2009-05-24T11:10:00.001+07:00

There is no question in anyone's mind that women are attracted to confident men. It's also no secret that unconfident men always go home alone while the confident men take home the warm apple pie. Now let's take a closer look on how to attract women effortlessly at the club, supermarket, streets,at the park, or wherever you would meet a women

Looking Good: Appearance is a key factor to attracting a woman. Women aren't looking for a stud with a chiseled jaw and deep set-in eyes. Women just want their man to take enough care to present himself decently and confidently. It doesn't hurt to pay attention to her own appearance, appreciate her dress or hair or even her choice of nail paint.

Now to all you bald guys out there. If you think you don't stand a chance, I have some news for you. Shakespeare to Bruce Willis, most romantics have been smooth heads much to the delight of woman. Most importantly bald guys never ever wear a wig or get a hair transplant. Women will just see you as unconfident and pass you by. You will have a better response by shining your head instead of covering it up.

Cleanliness: Women like men who are clean shaven. Getting kissed by someone with that wilderness making a way into our nostrils is the last thing we want in our romance. As for your hair, pay a visit to a good salon and get it done up to a style that suits you. Don't forget, you could enhance or destroy your appearance with your hair. Get a hairstyle that fits your body and personality. Treat it very seriously.

Clothing: No matter what branded apparel you wear,if it is not clean and fragrant, leave women alone. If you are not sure what style of clothing is popular just look around at what your peers are wearing and try that. There are plenty of low priced quality brands available. Go to one of these outlets and buy something that looks good on you.

Attitude: Have you guys ever suffered becoming just a "good" friend of your dream girl? That's because you are too nice to us from day one onwards that the thought of making you as boyfriends never occurs to us or simply bypasses us. It's good to be nice but too much of sweetness can never stimulate us.

Be a romantic Bring some zing factor in the whole thing and try playing around with harmless wickedness. All this would make you a very interesting person, your lady would want to know more about you and tell you as much about herself as well. Now that doesn't mean you need to be an all time mean guy. Do or say something trivially wicked and escape any mishap by quickly saying something nice to her. This way your niceties would get accentuated and you would become pleasantly unpredictable, which is very appealing to any woman.

Reuse Your Genius IQ Brain

2009-05-24T11:07:00.001+07:00

Professional aren ' t divers of us who can remark we ' ve come out of our virginity unscathed or have had fairytale relationships. We ' ve all had some really bad things happen to us. Some worse than others. Too ofttimes though we play back those negative memories over and over also until they ' re a share of our entire mental makeup. Instrument you do is guided by how you contour your past. Think it ' s not true? If you aren ' t in a jovial relevance, if your lucre are beyond treacherous, if your afafir totally sucks... this is a shiny indication that your past is in the driver ' s seat!

Want more proof? Think of a dram you have. This could be going back to develop, receipt away from Mr. / Ms. Inexact, or presently jump off that tiring end task. What happens when you visualize this? Things go up all over the locale to ending you from moving forward! You can ' t plain get past the deriving stage fundamentally alone positively put part achievement spread to create a better life. You feel nervous, unworthy, befuddled, taut, feasibly matching anxious. You come up with a lot of excuses NOT to pursue jubilation. That ' s your past controlling you. That ' s all of the negative, screwed up people you encountered who had a hand in programming your brain. All along you scrutiny you were the one on the top deck semanship your craft of life, matchless to discover - perhaps exclusive adjoining having study this - that you ' ve been down in the ownership and had no image where you were going!

Some of us are more aware of our negative thoughts than others. Right here, right now, refuse to dwell on them any more. All it serves is to bring your energy level down, and surround you with an aura that deflects anything good from coming into your life. Holding anger against someone or something in the past doesn ' t change things, it only serves to control you day after day.

Whenever a negative thought about the past comes up, replace it with a positive thought that is equally powerful. For instance, say you were abused as a child and a certain event pops into your mind. Instead of giving in to the memory, bring up a happy memory you have and recall it in as much detail as possible.

If you have very few happy memories, or find it hard to come up with something when anger or pain strike, make a list of some happier times when you ' re in a good mood and read it when you ' re feeling down. You could even write down future events that you hope to experience. If you were in a very bad relationship, write down what you require in your next relationship. ( Be reasonable though because nobody ' s perfect! ) Write down what your future mate will be like and some happy times you ' d like to share with him / her.

This is also a great way to program your mind and energy field into attracting what you desire most. The past is gone, it ' s done and over. The only way it can have any effect on you now is if you let it. Those " bad memory " pathways have worn a groove in your mind, so it ' s much easier to recall them - - whether we like it or not. Choose to create " positive memory " pathways and see the difference it makes in your mood, and in your life.

Evolution Through Chaos and Change

2009-05-24T11:04:00.000+07:00

Although "New Age" is very young in its reality, it was and still is a major catalyst in the development and evolution of mankind. It has been instrumental in moving humanity from the dark ages of religion to a more enlightened awareness of mankind to its creator. But "New Age," as religion and dinosaurs must make way for the mammals and new growth.

Three months ago I was asked to develop a training program for our department at work. I was also asked to upgrade our existing sales Reps and the new sales people coming into the company; new products required this change. This change is timely and has manifested itself in a time of change and chaos.

People by nature do not like change and it is upsetting for many. Chaos is the mark of change. Today companies are struggling to survive and some are disappearing. Jobs are being lost as companies restructure and lay off their employees. Change is occurring everywhere and none are immune from it. But, change is an opportunity for growth. As the dinosaurs (old established corporations) are replaced by young, hungry companies and workers; the changes will be viewed as beneficial by future generations.

The change that is occurring now is not about companies, countries or people. It is about relationships; relationships are changing. All things in the physical world are about relationships between one thing or another-people, places and things. There is nothing that is impervious to change-it is the one and only constant in the universe.

A major change will occur in this century and within the next few years. For those who are more sensitive to these changes; you are already feeling them at home, and in personal relationships outside the home and at work.

I have been feeling restless for several years knowing that something is happening, but not being able to put my finger on it. I have written and published internationally, two books as well as more than 500 articles on "New Age" which are distributed worldwide over the internet.

Three months ago when I received my promotion to trainer, I stopped writing. I have ignored my web sites and isolated myself from my own writing. The truth is I have moved on or matured past them.

Everything is as an echo in a pail. You write, you talk, you teach and it keeps coming back to you. It's no longer going anywhere, and I have to look at it for what it is; it's a step that is completed and my right foot is already in motion, ready to move forward.

The awareness that "New Age" has brought forward was that "we are all one", that we are the creator of all that we experience. There is no "God Like" creator sitting in a place called Heaven; Angry, Vengeful, Punishing or even Benevolent. There is no chosen few and all are equal and connected.

Although "New Age" may be the stepping stone that takes us to the next realm of existence, it is still extremely limited in its scope or understanding of where the next step will take us or what it actually is.

Language is the greatest hindrance to understanding when we try to teach or pass on our awareness. "New Age" still uses religious terms to identify with the listener and move him to a new awareness. However, the words that we use tell others where we are, and they limit us. In an effort not to alienate ourselves, we use language to bridge the gap. But the language can never fully explain what the change will actually be. The change can best be experienced as a feeling where no words are spoken. You cannot explain the taste of chocolate; it must be experienced.

As "New Age' writers, we can only image what the next experience will be. In my experience, our current vision of an afterlife or passing, only goes as far as the next emanation. We are far greater than what "Religion" or "New Age" has taught us and we are not limited in any way. The next great step in evolution will not be as humble as we have experienced over our sojourn on this planet. There are infinite realms of existence, but only one consciousness.

Although we may choose to remain in the next realm just for the experience; we will consciously become aware of our choice and our alternatives to other existences. But the real purpose of what we will experience will not actually be appreciated until we discover our true nature; no matter how many realms we experience. No matter how many times we live and die. As long as we keep passing responsibility for our existence on to someone or something else, we will never know our true nature. We will never know ourselves as "life" as the only thing that really exists; but as an effect or consequence of it.

"New Age" may correctly assume the essence of our true nature, but in itself it does not own up and say exactly what it is. It has not yet reached a comfortable place in time where it can give its final declaration-that it is properly "this" or "that." Very much like religion, it does not take you to your final resting place-it is just another step on an endless path of awareness. However, the two are not mutually exclusive, and as beings of consciousness we can be aware of our true nature and choose not to experience it, as we have done for time immortal. We can experience the one, experiencing all other things and nothing at the same time. Within that awareness is the experience of being eternal and perpetual.

To experience the unlimited experience of being, we must include in our awareness the one that is really experiencing; the observer as well as the observed. Without the full knowledge or experience of both at the very least, it is an unfulfilled experience. To be aware of being asleep you must experience both being awake and asleep at the same time. At that time you will know the true experience of your conscious thought.

To be alive and to have the convenience of forgetting what we were before or what are true nature is, is not the full experience of self realization or recreation. The full nature is to know both simultaneously. Only at that time can we appreciate our true nature.

The relational changes that we are currently feeling will eventually manifest into an awareness of true consciousness.

It's not the end of anything, but the beginning of an awareness of consciousness, experiencing. Because time does not really exist: all things shall remain in the collective consciousness as experienced or being experienced. Our awareness of ourselves is a product of the process of the manifestation of consciousness that we incorrectly assume is outside ourselves. We are neither the beginning nor the end. We are the process itself-we are consciousness in motion.

We are consciousness watching ourselves in a mirror watching ourselves in a mirror. Every thought we have manifested into action is reflected back to us. We are the observer and the observed existing in the same time and space-there is nothing else.

Our true nature does not evolve; it is static. It is within the awareness of knowing itself, that it experiences evolution. It is very much like a baby that discovers its fingers, toes and other body parts. It understands itself as complete in its own experience. It forgets its true identity as spirit or consciousness in body form, and assumes a temporary physical experience with purpose. But once again, this is not a complete experience. The complete experience would be within an awareness of all things imagined.

Motivate Yourself by Encouraging Your Friends

2009-05-24T10:13:00.001+07:00

Sometimes we sit and listen to a friends ideas, or a new business they have started, or a goal or dream they have. We want to help them, so we usually start by ensuring they understand all the pitfalls that they may face, and the challenges that may stifle them. We want to protect them and help them, right?
Well, actually I would like to ask you to try something a little different...... Try just a 'Wow, thats great news, or a great idea, or a great vision to have!' 'What can I do to help you?'

In fact, they have likely researched their idea and understand the challenges. Perhaps it is just a seedling of an idea and they are airing it for the first time. Be positive, give them the gift of enthusiasm and support.
What if you think their idea is insane, crazy or a huge risk? Well, first imagine you were Bill Gates friend all those years ago....imagine if he told you he was going to be the dominant operating system for pcs...what would you have said? For a man that we are told did not complete his tertiary education, to dominate the PC world from a backyard idea....perhaps we would have thought he was crazy. He did it!
If you are really concerned for them, then after ( and only after) you make some positive responses, try asking some searching questions positively framed. Questions like:
I am really interested, have you researched the market yet, or is this a brand new idea?
How do you think you will go about marketing it?
What will your service consist of? etc,
.....and in their answers you will find more information about why they are excited. With questions framed in a positive way, you can ensure that they are understanding the areas that concern you, but not in a way that has a negative impact on them.
Please don't tell them how to do it unless they ask you for advice, and above all stay positive, it is an invaluable gift to your friend. Remember, it is not your idea, business, dream or goal it is theirs. It is their risk and their effort to reach success. Help them by being open to their ideas, listening and asking searching but positive questions. You will be surprised by the positive energy you receive in return.
If you respond in a negative way, you are not only stealing energy from them, but you are also losing energy yourself. You may kill another global innovation in the making, or a truly great idea. You will certainly damage your friendship
You are Amazing - Share It!

The Differences between Spirits and Liqueurs

2009-05-16T11:55:00.001+07:00

Spirits are produced by concentrating the alcohol in a ferment liquid through distillation whereby liqueur is a spirit that has been sweetened and flavoured. The concentration of the alcohol is normally between 37% and 43% for spirits versus 12% for table wines. Liqueurs are often used in cocktails as a base, although, they used to be used as a form of medicine in their origination.

Typically, the bases for spirits are fruit, grain or vegetable, or any sugar-based liquid that can be fermented. In grain based spirits, the initial fermentation turns the starch to sugar to be fermented. Certain spirits can only be made with a certain base and others can be made with different bases. For example, Vodka can be made with a grain, potato or sugar cane base whereby Brandy can only be made with grapes.

Cognac, Armagnac, Brandy, Grappa, Piscos and Trebbiano are examples of grape based spirits from different regions, with different types of grapes as their base. Calvados is an apple based spirit known as applejack in North America.

Whisky and Scotch are grain based spirits, where Scotch whiskey is a whiskey that contains a blend of more than one distillation, typically malt whisky and grain whisky. A single malt scotch whisky is the original whiskey that was produced from barley and distilled.

Rum is the most popular distilled spirit and typically made wherever sugar cane is grown, which is the base or sometimes molasses may be used. Depending on the still method used, pot or patent determines whether it is white rum or darker.

Gin is typically a compounded spirit from Juniper, coriander, or citrus fruits and Schnapps is distilled from grain or potatoes and flavoured with caraway or aniseed.

Liqueurs generally fall into four categories, which are dairy liqueurs, bean or kernel liqueurs, herb liqueurs and fruit liqueurs. Liqueurs are more commonly known as names like Bailey’s Irish Cream, Crème de Menthe, Kahlua, Amaretto, Sloe Gin, Galliano, Southern Comfort or Grand Marnier, for example. These are popular liqueurs that are often used in cocktails, although they can also be drank by themselves.

The primary difference, when it comes to spirits and liqueurs is that they are the same, except for the added flavouring and sweetness that a liqueur is characterized by. When it comes to drinking, they carry higher alcohol content than wine and beer, because of the concentrated nature of the distillation or compounding processes. Typically, they are mixed with additional juices or flavouring to compliment their base.

Both spirits and liqueurs can be added to some dishes when cooking and Jack Daniels grill items are popular on many American menus, using a whisky based marinade or barbeque sauce. Another popular dish is Tequila lime chicken, which has international flair and popularity on Latino menus. The list is endless, but one thing for certain is that the popularity of spirits and liqueurs is international and personal tastes have a wide variety of products to choose from.

You Can Have Chocolate for Breakfast

2009-05-16T11:48:00.000+07:00

Chocolate for breakfast? I know you may be thinking that's a little radical but bear with me. There are lots of instances where you may have chocolate for breakfast like chocolate muffins, chocolate chip pancakes, and even chocolate milk.

But it's the quality of the chocolate that makes a big difference.

If you've been reading any articles about health lately -- or even listening to local radio -- there's a big push eating a healthy breakfast. Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day.

When you skip breakfast, the tendency may be to grab a snack in the middle of the morning or eat a large lunch. The problem with this is that we’re creatures of habit and tend to reach for the food that’s familiar and comforting rather than one that’s healthy and good for you.

When you're thinking about breakfast, don't skimp because you're in a hurry. Rushing out the door to work or school isn't a reason to pass up breakfast. And you don't have to settle for the same old stuff, either.

*****************************************
BREAKFAST CHOICES
*****************************************

When you're choosing a cereal, make sure to keep your eye on the amount of sugar in the ingredients. Cheerios is a great source of whole-grain that is very low in sugar. For the most part, you'll want to stick with products that have less than 12 g of sugar per serving.

Toast is also another option but it can be a problem for people who have wheat or gluten sensitivities. If you're one of those, you can buy gluten-free bread that gives you all the goodness of regular bread without the wheat or gluten. And watch out for the kinds of spreads you use. The same 12 g per serving rule applies to jams and jellies as it does to cereals. If you use margarine, try to find one that gives you Omega 3s as well. Smart Balance is a good pick and they even have a variety that has plant sterols in it for heart health.

One of the things I love to have it breakfast time is sliced apple with peanut butter. In fact, this often takes the place of buttered toast for me.

Fresh fruit is always welcome but keep an eye, again, on the sugars. Don't have an entire half cantaloupe; cut it into quarters and then use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh.

Eggs are quick and easy option for a good, healthy breakfast. And if you're a McDonald's fan, there was a recent news article proclaiming that an Egg McMuffin was one of the best, low fat options for a fast food breakfast.

I love eggs but I have to watch my cholesterol so I use Egg Beaters and really love making a breakfast burrito with their southwestern variety.

**************************************
CHOCOLATE AT BREAKFAST
**************************************

As for adding chocolate to you're breakfast, find a product that includes at least 70% cacao and is packed with antioxidants and probiotics to give your day a jump start. Just one square is all you’ll need to get your personal engine running smoothly.

Benefits of Chi Swing Exercise

2009-05-16T11:44:00.000+07:00

Getting enough oxygen is vital to the health of your body. Aerobic exercise can help to increase the oxygen levels in your body, thereby improving your overall health. Although the thought of aerobic exercise may conjure up images of running, biking, and swimming, a workout does not have to be strenuous in order to benefit the body and increase your oxygen intake.

One popular form of passive aerobic exercise is the chi machine. The swinging motion of the chi massager boosts oxygen intake while allowing the body to relax. This passive form of exercise is an ideal alternative to more strenuous movements that can exacerbate the symptoms of patients with chronic illness or other physical conditions.

The relaxing swing movement of the chi exercise machine sets the mind and body at ease. This movement extends the full length of the body, starting at the feet and moving up the spine to the head and neck. Just like more strenuous forms of aerobic exercise, the chi massager improves oxygen intake, energy levels, and the flow of circulation throughout the body.

Regular exercise using a chi machine can benefit the body on many levels, including physical, mental, and emotional. The reported benefits of chi exercise include weight loss, improved skin clarity, increased energy, improved circulation throughout the body, improved posture, and relief from back, neck, and joint pain. Many users also claim to sleep more soundly, experience less stress, and feel a greater sense of overall well-being.

In a study reported in Positive Health magazine in July of 2006, the healing effects of chi exercise extend to the mind, body, and emotions. According to the study's results, 76% of participants reported improvement from pre-existing physical symptoms, 70% reported mental benefits, and 56% reported emotional benefits. The study included 145 individuals who used the chi exercise machine daily over a 30 day period. Most of the participants experienced improvement on multiple levels.

To get the most out of your chi machine, follow these basic guidelines for using your machine effectively. Drink a full glass of water before and after using the chi machine. This aids the body in flushing out toxins that are released during aerobic exercise. As you position your body on the floor, ankles in the cradles, try to keep your body aligned as straight as possible. Let your arms rest at your sides or extend your arms above your head for a full-body stretch. Take deep breaths during the exercise and allow your mind to enter a relaxed or meditative state. If your chi machine has multiple speeds, choose the speed at which you feel most comfortable. Begin using the machine once a day for five minutes or less and increase slowly as your body adjusts to the exercise. After each session, lie still for a couple of minutes to allow the full impact of the chi energy to take effect. You may feel a tingling sensation during this time. Rise slowly to a sitting position and let your body adjust before standing.

Your chi swing exercise machine can be used as a stand-alone treatment or to augment the effects of other therapies. Please note the contraindications for chi machines or consult your healthcare practitioner before beginning this treatment. Prepare to be amazed by the powerful benefits of this subtle but effective form of aerobic exercise!

Prostate BPH - the stages in a male life

2009-05-16T11:38:00.001+07:00

It is regular for the prostate glands of males to grow significantly through their teenage years. This slows down when they get to 25 and pushes through when they reach 50. By the time they are around 80 years old, their prostate glands are very much enlarged. This enlargement of the prostate can take place earlier and it could be frightening since it could be cancerous. But there in another situation, the gland could enlarge, and the person should not be concerned about cancer – this state is called prostate BPH or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

An enlarged prostate or BPH is not prostate cancer. It is a common condition especially among older men, age 50 years and above. Among those with prostate BPH, only 10 percent would need to be medically or surgically treated. Prostate BPH is also called Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy.

The prostate gland does not really stop growing. This does not create any trouble to any man until after he reaches his twilight years. The symptoms are hardly felt by men under the age of 40 , but those who are aged 60 up may experience the symptoms of prostate BPH.

When the prostate becomes bigger and bigger, the leaning of the surrounding tissues is to obstruct its further growth. This results to the restraint on the urethra, since the prostate gland is forced upon it. The man’s bladder will get irritated and will begin to contract even if there is just minimal amount of urine in there. In time , the bladder will fail to function properly causing urine to stay in the bladder.

Prostate BPH shows the following symptoms that you have to watch out for:

Problems with urination – weak stream of urine, leaking, frequent urination at night, straining feeling, sudden urges to urinate
Weak bladder
Kidney failure
Backflow of urine that results to infection on the bladder or kidney

The signs differ and the size of the prostate does not always say how severe the state is. There are men with prostate BPH that exhibit no obstruction at all and thus, show no signs. There are those men who have less enlarged glands however they have more severe signs because of bigger obstructions.

When you practice any troubles urinating, you should inform your doctor immediately. About 80% of the cases are a hint of prostate BPH, but the rest may be more serious and will require instant treatment.

Those that have untreated prostate BPH can develop a lot more serious problems like:
Urinary Tract Infection due to urine retention and straining of the bladder
Bladder damage
Kidney damage
Bladder stones
Incontinence

There are 3 ways to treat prostate BPH – watchful waiting, drug therapy, or surgery. Watchful waiting involves annual checkups to watch the gland and its increase. This method limits alcoholic drinks and caffeine. Patients are asked to empty their bladders every time they urinating. If you need to urinate, you shouldn’t keep it waiting. Unload at once and often.

As for the medicine remedy , only your regular doctor can prescribed the medications that can help you with the symptoms . Be wary of those over the counter drugs that can only do things worse.

Operation is the last resort but this is one of the most common methods to treat prostate BPH in the U.S.A.. Surgery is best for severe cases.

Five Ways To Removing Stretch Marks

2009-05-16T11:32:00.000+07:00

First, let me tell you that the title is a little misleading. This is because removing stretch marks completely is something that can't be done, as of this writing. What topical lotions, creams and other stretch mark remedies do is that, they only make the scars less apparent and make the skin finer in texture.

There you have it. So by this time that you are looking for a great stretch mark cream that will hopefully eliminate stretch marks, don't be fooled. Even the photos of before and after cases only reduce the visibility of the scars - making you think that they are completely gone, when the fact is, they are still there - just invisible from our sight.

But it's much better than showing them off red and purple or white, right?

Blame it on your genes and hormones. Genetics play a role in determining whether you will have stretch marks or not. If you have a family member who had these lines before, you have a great chance of getting them yourself - be it because of pregnancy, puberty or weight gain.

So, now that the issue of "removing stretch marks" had been settled, let's head on now to the real topic of this article - which is how to actually reduce their appearance and make them less noticeable.

There are various ways to do that. Here are five.

1. Stretch mark creams - Choosing the best stretch mark "remover" is sure a hard job for a consumer, especially if he had tried countless of products before. When choosing a stretch mark cream, do note of its ingredients. You have likely heard them being all natural and all, but research as to what each of them can do in stretch mark repair. Also find out if they are FDA-approved and cannot cause an allergic reaction on you. This is a wise step to take, since a lot of consumers would report complaints later only after finding out that they have experienced allergies, or have experienced various side effects, which they could have avoided had they read the label and done some researching.

2. Shea Butter - A large number of shea butters from various companies have been manufactured and made available - some worked, others don't. Some shea butters are best for preventing stretch marks, while others claim to reduce their appearance.

3. Chemical peels - Apparently, this procedure aims to peel off the layers of skin that have been damaged, to make way for the fresh ones for an even surface and skin color. Superficial pees are conducted by a nurse or, while deeper ones are conducted by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

4. Laser surgery - Studies show that it can reduce their appearance significantly. It lasts for about six sessions before they are reduced, however.

Studies have shown that the appearance of stretch marks continues to improve up to six months after the first laser treatment. In this procedure, a surgeon makes use of a narrow beam of light which permeates right through the skin to stimulate the cells in the dermis for a new tissue.

5. Stretch mark gels - This kind of product is usually made of various materials like butcher's broom, calendula, centella, chickweed, ginseng, green tea, hibiscus, horsetail, ivy, lady's mantle and marshmallow to help prevent and reduce stretch marks.

Removing stretch marks completely and making your skin go back to normal cannot be done, but you have stretch mark creams, lotions and surgical methods to make them less noticeable.

Zodiac Signs And Fitness, Your Sun Signs Can Give You Some Helpful Hints

2009-05-16T11:25:00.001+07:00

The fitness craze seems to have caught with everyone, be it a celebrity or just a face in the crowd. All are doing it that is sweating it out in the gym, the pool or the nearby stadium. On dinner tables they prefer to talk rather than eat. An interesting development indeed, but what's depressing is that many of these people aren't happy doing what they are. Get close and you will notice their face muscles held taut during the morning walk, a smile from them would but be an impossible dream, they are in fact cursing themselves for being blessed with a prosperous life (no prosperity, no evil temptations to binge, right?)

Giving up exercise isn't an answer either...

That leaves us with no option but to get involved. And how do we get involved? Simple, just by finding an interesting activity, something that sounds play and not work. Confused still? Here's some good news; your sunsigns can give you some helpful hints.

Aquarius : Tennis, basketball, trekking may sound interesting for them; the secret is that these people cannot work alone and love to have lot of people around, at least most of the time.

Another major need for Aquarians is to improve their circulation. So ideally they should pursue activities like running, swimming, dancing etc which strengthen their breathing capacities. And more...they get the desired results like excellent metabolism, raised immunity levels, glowing looks etc.

One warning though; these people are never happy settling down to routine. So even at a gym they have to be doing different kinds of exercises on different days to keep their motivation levels high.

Pisces : The fitness fight is a difficult one for Pisceans since they love to eat. It would be better if they keep away from pessimistic friends as they absorb the negativity a bit too fast and give up. One consolation though, Pisceans are excellent visualisers and they could motivate themselves towards greater fitness using this skill.

Since this is the sign of the fish, majority take to water activities swimming, surfing, rowing with great delight. Others would at least love to run by the beach. Fishes are also famous for graceful movements, so yoga would also suit fine. They also love to dare and may pursue horse-riding, dancing, skating, swimming often. All outdoor games, be it run and chase, cricket, kho kho will also agreed upon as long as they are challenging.

Though the gym is not the right place for them, Pisceans could be inspired by some great music and well designed exercise clothes. Even the promise of a relaxing sauna bath or a shower would motivate them to spend some more time at the treadmill. Dance being a great passion, step aerobics, aerobic dancing or even an evening at the disc will easily receive a "Let's Go" from them.

Aries : These people love to get over things fast and also get immediate results. Unfortunately exercise doesn't happen that way. Human body has got its limitations just like anything else. One advantage for these people is that they are always on the move and therefore do not put on weight easily.

Arians would do better by exploiting their strength, endurance, confidence and drive in tough activities like martial arts, wind surfing, football, basketball, gymnastics, boxing, skipping etc. Iron being their metal, even weight lifting would suit fine for them. While at the gym they should get into some strenuous activities to get rid off the stress.

However a major hitch is that these people consider everything as a challenge and don't learn to take it easy.

Taurus : Bulls belong to yet another group that adores good, sorry rich food and lots of rest. No wonder they find it tough to fight the battle of the bulge.

Typical Taureans don't love to work hard at the gym or the tennis court, they would rather walk or go cycling by the country side. They may choose swimming, not at the pool but the nearby stream. Nature is a greatest temptation for them since it relaxes them.

City dwellers should carry walkmans to the gym and listen to some inspiring music while working out. That releases the stress of keeping fit. If this isn't enough, the promise of a neat aromatherapy massage at the end may inspire them to do a few more pushups or abdominal crunches.

For those reluctant Taureans, family members could provide a gentle push by persuading them to take the kids out to play or at least walk the dog. Tennis is out since it calls for quick movements but a Taurean will take up the gardening work happily.

Gemini : These people are basically restless, so staying fit should be an easy game for them. They love change and flexibility. Gymnastics, cycling, swimming, aerobic dancing should be instant choices with them.

Geminis may also settle for tennis, badminton, Frisbee since they love to work with a partner. These games also give them time and space to chat. Brisk walk is yet another activity these people wouldn't mind.

Breathing is one area these people have to improve upon, since good breathing refers to strength. Aerobics or jogging can be pursued for better results. Slow activities like yoga aren't for them but they would probably fare well at dance, gymnastics, basketball, or tennis since movements aren't as slow.

One negative quality in Geminis is stress bingeing. They have to find a way to release excess stress and ensure they are calm before arriving at the dining table. If they cannot find something nice, they could even bite into an apple or guava to get their nerves in order.

The sign of the twins demands variety. A rigid exercise routine is out for them. Let them check out their choices and modify their schedule as they want.

Cancer : Water relaxes them; Cancerians simply love water sports like swimming, sailing, wind surfing and rafting. Even running on the beach would do for them as long they can keep in touch with water.

Hard driven exercise programs are out for these people. These sensitive souls need something more gentle, say stretching exercises. Water calisthenics would be best since it will soothe their nerves and strengthen them even more.

Cancer being the sign of the born nurturer, they love to cook, feed and eat really good food. A slight caution against good food will help them to stay in better shape.

Leo : They love to exercise but have to be pampered and persuaded, kings afterall. Hence these people would work better under a personal trainer. Music is a great passion with them, so they would find aerobic dance interesting.

These people like to have friends around but would love to be the focal point at health clubs. They are also competition lovers and spiritedly take part in basketball, tennis, golf or even power sports like kickboxing.

Last but not least, lions need to stretch a lot to feel better. Yoga, calisthenics, power walking would help them in this regard. Lions also shine well with a little sunshine. Naturally they don't find winter sports like skiing, a great pleasure. Instead they would prefer to go cycling or horseriding in warmer climates.

Virgo : These busy bees hate to rest. No wonder they don't find staying fit a great bother. Their only problem would be time but definitely not laziness. They would love to work out the stress and fat at the nearby gym rather than lie down looking at the stars. Virgos will however need the slow and balanced movements of yoga or meditation to cool down.

This is the class of strong men/women; endurance sports like hiking, cross-country skiing, long-distance running are made just for them.

A word of advice though, Virgos should not drive themselves so hard in the fitness race, but instead exert a little caution at the dining table. Yes, a balanced diet is what they need to get better and faster results. Let them have a nice meal and go for a walk or a bicycle ride.

Libra : He/she is the true party lover. But what these people forget is to rest. It would help if they remember that sleep is an important part of the fitness regime.

Librans love to exist in pairs (think of the two pans in a weighing scale); no wonder they love to have a gym buddy. You will find libran husbands pulling their wives or friends along to the pool or the squash court. Activities like squash, basketball, volleyball, dancing or sailing that calls for a partner would be fine with them.

Another important requirement for these people is to get their muscles strong and flexible. Golf, ball room dancing, gymnastics would help them achieve this need. One warning though, they may get a little carried away with all that socialising and forget to exercise!

Scorpio : These highly ambitious people demand some strenuous activities to help them release pent-up stress. They can take up boxing, long distance running or even the punching bag game. They would take up tennis or squash, but their partners' better give quick responses.

Sometimes these people desperately need to be left alone to do some quiet thinking. Therefore working out alone in the gym is ok with them. Left alone, they peddle faster and that too non-stop at the stationery cycle and even race faster on the treadmill. This way they would burn both fat and stress quick enough! Of course they would need some relaxing activities like deep breathing or slow jogging to cool their ruffled nerves after a challenge.

Sagittarius : They love sports and also love to be outdoors most of the time. Any game is okay say kho kho, volleyball, cycling, skating; Saggis possess both inclination and speed. At the gym, these true extroverts will need some pals to get motivated.

They are great travel lovers; horseriding, rowing and rock climbing would be some of their preferred activities. Calisthenics may help them to keep their body flexible and strong enough to withstand stress.

One major warning though, these people will have to get over inertia to turn their exercise regimen a success. Else, they would keep coming up with new excuses until a really good reason or pal drags them to the gym.

Capricorn : These people again thrive on change and make adjustments almost immediately. Ideally, their fitness schedule should include a variety of activities, say jogging on Monday, swimming on Tuesday, lifting weights on Wednesday, so on and so forth.

Capricorn being an earth sign, these people need to be in constant touch with the ground. Activities like hiking, rockclimbing, golf would suit them fine. However they should be doing some stretching and weight lifting exercises at least now and then, to keep their bodies strong and agile.

Whatever they do, these people should always remember that they are doing them for self-improvement and not for competing with others. This will ensure that they don't overdo!

Sound advice, but... These guidelines are based on gener al observations. Exceptions may always be found.

Green Tea and Its Relation to Promoting Periodontal Health

2009-05-16T10:12:00.001+07:00

Since ancient times, green tea has been popular in Asian cultures like China and Japan. It is their beverage of choice because of its medicinal benefits. Its popularity has surged in the western hemisphere largely because of its proven ability to treat ailments such as headaches and depression.

Dentist Burbank supports the scientific research regarding green tea and its health benefits. It has proven effective in fighting cancer, lowering high cholesterol levels, dealing with cardiovascular problems, ensuring immune infection, and preventing arthritis, among others. What makes green tea special is that it is rich in catechin polyphenols (epigallocathechin gallate or EGCG), which is an effective antioxidant. Green tea is known to prevent cancer and weight loss. It also inhibits abnormal formation of blood clots.

Dental Burbank believes that the study published by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) about green tea consumption should be taken seriously. Given the close links between dental health and overall health, it has been found that green tea also helps promote healthy teeth and gums by fighting periodontal diseases. According to Dentists Burbank, there are lots of information regarding the study done before by Japanese researchers when they analyzed 940 men focusing on their periodontal health. They found out that people who drank green tea regularly obtain good periodontal health.

There were three indicators examined regarding periodontal diseases. When green tea was consumed during the study, it was discovered that the periodontal pocket depth, attachment loss of gum tissue and bleeding on probing of the gum tissues (three indicators) decreased its potential on having periodontal disease. According to Cosmetic Irvine, the research has shown that the catechin, which is an antioxidant in green tea, helps promote good periodontal health. Catechin interferes in the body's inflammatory response to periodontal bacteria. Because of this type of antioxidant, there is less chance of getting chronic inflammatory disease (periodontal disease) that affects gums and bones that support the teeth. DDS Irvine agreed with what Dr. David Cochran, DDS, PhD, President of the AAP and Chair of the Department of Periodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, when he said: "That is why it is so important to find simple ways to boost periodontal health, such as regularly drinking green tea - something already known to possess certain health-related benefits."

Green tea helps promote periodontal health and prevents diseases closely associated with in periodontal diseases. This is because green tea interferes with our body's response to periodontal bacteria. There are, however, concerns regarding the harmful effects of drinking green tea because it also has caffeine. Although it contains caffeine, which sometimes lead to insomnia (the only negative side effect reported), the caffeine content in tea is relatively small. Coffee, on the other hand, has more caffeine in its content compared to tea. Tea, therefore, is safe to drink. This is a beverage that is easy to find. It gives a lot of health benefits not only to our overall health but also to our dental health.

Top 5 SignsThat Your Website Sucks

2009-04-25T13:43:00.001+07:00

Small business owners may not have the resources to invest heavily in their web presence and finding solutions to problems can be like finding a needle in a haystack. You know something's wrong but don't have the faintest idea how to fix it. Is it a technical issue? Are your ads not performing well? Don't know what kind of traffic you're getting? Website problems can fall into a myriad of categories. So if you think your website sucks, a) it probably does, and b) you should read on.

1. You Aren't Getting Traffic
You're excited about the big, expensive job the design team just finished on your site. It looks like a million bucks! Well it's a shame it isn't making you a darn cent. Just because it exists doesn't mean people know about it. Announce it to the world by submittíng it to reputable directories and sharing your useful content with others on social bookmarking sites (you do have useful content, don't you? If not, I'll cover this later). You can even do some link exchanges -- provided the sites you exchange with are reputable -- just to get your site crawled early on. Further optimize it for search engines by following good SEO practices, building quality content and generating inbound links from other sites. Once you do that, you'll need to monitor progress with web analytics software. Google Analytics is free and it has a slick interface. And we know you like pretty things seeing as how you broke the bank on your web site design.
If you're looking for high ROI, invest your time in learning search engine marketing. Better yet hire a qualified SEO firm if you have the budget for it. Don't settle for quick-fix promotional ideas. Build long-term exposure and a solid reputation by attaining high rankings, keeping email/newsletter lists, targeted ad placement and social media participation.

2. You Have Worthless Content
What defines worthless content? Without knowing what topic your web site covers it's tough to say, but if you have nothing that sets you apart from your top competitors then I'd say you aren't in good shape. If you don't know what kind of content people are looking for on the Internet today, take a peek at what's popular on social bookmarking sites. Observe some of the story titles on the front page of Digg.com:

"Guinness Stout Beef Stew Recipe for St. Patrick's Day"
"In Move to Digital TV, Confusion Is in the Air"
"Kim Jong-Il Interprets Sunrise As Act Of War"
"Automatic bacon dispenser?"
"The 5 Best Obama Photomosaics on Flickr"

Words I would use to describe these topics, in order, are: seasonal, informative, satirical, comical, and trendy. This information is popular because it's appealing in its uniqueness and is relevant to today's market. To set yourself apart from your competition, you need to get creative. If you're the kind of person who had trouble painting by numbers, then hire someone creative. Professional copy writers can be well worth the investment. Create free tools your customers will want to use; write funny or interesting commentary in a blog about your industry; put a new spin on a traditional product or service or provide seasonal discounts. Create a comprehensive F.A.Q. on your site that covers topics your competitors don't.

Take the time to beef up your content. Be innovative - don't be afraid to think outside the box. Use the top competitor in your field as a measuring stick.

3. You Have No Call-to-Action
Poor promotional language can have a sabotaging effect if visitors aren't drawn to your conversion pages. A conversion page is any page that acts as the final step in a visitor submitting a form, making direct contact or purchasing a product online. Obscuring those pages or confusing the visitor on where to go next can make them leave your site. Internet users have a short attention span - give them a clear direction when navigating your web site.

Use your web analytics software again to find out what pages visitors are landing on first. If your home page gets the most traffic, make sure there are clear links to your sub-topics. If inner pages are your most popular landing pages, find out if the traffic is targeted. Once you know the type of visitor and the specific page they land on, then you can start marketing your content more accurately.

The bottom line is to always make clear why, and how, visitors can buy your product. Don't get too cute with multiple steps, options or convoluted language.

4. You're Getting Traffic But No Sales
Are you sure the traffic is relevant? If you're running a pay-per-click campaign, ensure your ads are geo-targeted properly and your ad text or landing pages appeal to your customers. For organic search engine placement, have you done keyword research and analysis before optimizing your content? Look at your web stats and see where your visitors are coming from. What keywords were they searching for when they landed on your site? Are the referring sites relevant to your industry or topic? How much time does the visitor spend on each page? Sales won't come if your visitors aren't interested in what you're selling. This is why preliminary keyword analysis is so important to search engine marketing.

If you're running ads, it's always good practice to experiment with different ad campaigns. If you put all your eggs in one basket you run the risk of losing out on potential revenue. Elements of your ads that you can change are:

• ad text
• landing page
• specific network your ads are shown across
• topics on which you focus the campaign
• geo-locations targeted

Remember, it doesn't pay to skimp on initial product/market research and analysis.

5. You're Getting Relevant Traffic But No Sales
This problem could signal a technical error or navigation problem with your site. Make sure you thoroughly test all functionalities on various web browsers and systems. Submit test forms. Do a link check to spot possible broken links. Is your web hosting service reliable?

If you've ruled out technical issues as the cause then turn your attention to the content and customer base. Has your market taken a downturn? Can the lack of sales be attributed to the poor economy? Have you fallen behind your competition in product quality, selection or pricing? Does your web site's navigation system confuse users? Your web site is the first line of contact between the business and potential customer, but it's not the only step you need to worry about. Telephone operators or online payment systems can present their own issues.

This is moving away from web site problems but if any part of the sales process takes place away from the site, investigate those areas of your business as well.

If you're pulling out your hair over a problem with your site and these tips still haven't helped, feel free to post a comment and I'll personally have a peek at your site.

Web Development for Systematic Website Creation and Functioning

How To Shop Organic

2009-04-25T13:39:00.001+07:00

What is the most effective way to shop for organic Goods?

Gradually implementing small changes to your family's budget is the most effective way to start shopping organically. Trying to buy everything organic all at once could be going overboard and usually ends up being unfruitful. Like dieting you have good intentions, get charged up, starve to death and then try to run the million man marathon only to have it come crashing down a few days later. Rather, a small and steady effort over time brings better results.

A good formula is to set aside 5-10% of your current monthly budget and use this to shop for organic items. A family with three children might spend 1000$ a month on groceries and other basic necessities, now they would begin to put aside 50-100$ monthly and use it to purchase select organic products.

To have a more noticeable effect look for unique items that will last and bring long term benefits rather than spending money simply on daily consumables. All too often organic shopping is associated with perishables like food stuffs or skin care products. You may find that at first this small amount does not go too far in these areas and what you purchase is quickly used up. Shopping is enjoyable so look around for a different product each month and find things like organic clothing, sheepskin rugs or even chopping blocks and pretty soon you will have a house full of organic items that start to make a difference in your daily lives.

Present society, no matter how much we desire to live in a pure and natural way, will force everyone to make compromises from time to time in healthy living. Recognizing this helps promote a reasonable attitude in our efforts. A little change is all that is needed to make a difference. Anyway you decide to change your buying habits you stand to better the environment, raise your family's standard of healthy living and enjoy the best nature has to offer.

8 Steps to Build Traffic for Your Website

2009-04-25T13:37:00.001+07:00

Here are 8 fine ways to increase web traffic and site visitors to your website. We are sure these tips may work the best for you:

Apply Proper HTML Structure And The Use Of Hyperlinks:

This is one of the most fundamental things but still overlooked by many! It is important for you to tell the search engines what a certain page is about. Therefore, while structuring your page the HTML way, keep in mind these three:

1. Title tag

2. Meta description tag

3. Meta keywords tag

It is good to include your keyword once or maximum twice in these features. Repeating over and over again may make the Search Engines ignore your page completely.

It’s worthwhile to mention here that using keywords in hyperlinks to internal pages is also helpful—e.g. instead of writing “please see this page for more information”…u can write “please see web designers articles here”

Submit To Main Search Engines And Web Directories:

Submitting your site only to the popular search engines; Google, Yahoo, MSN, and AOL is enough. Once you have been listed with these, your results will automatically appear in the others, which are mainly the portals of these search engines. Another way to set traffic directly to your site is by submitting to all the major web directories.

The More the Content—the Better It Becomes!

Content-rich sites are loved by search engines, esp. by Google. Despite all the efforts, if your site still isn’t being ranked high enough, I suggest you go through that content of your website and try loading it with a bit of text. Keep regular updates and make it interesting.

Get Links to Your Site

The more websites pointing back to you, the more link popularity you get and the more chances of being ranked higher—ultimately causing an increase to your site traffic. But here, it’s not just the number of links, but also the quality of links that matter. Connecting your site with other sites in your niche may also be a good idea.

Publish Yourself Through Articles And PR’s:

Write articles for your own site on regular basis. Providing information to the user will certainly give them a reason to come back to your site over and over again. Moreover, also publish your articles in article directories such as Ezine Articles, Article City, isnare, Go Articles etc.

Email Marketing and Newsletters:

It’s silly why people don’t capture the email addresses of the visitors actually interested in their products and services! A visitor would certainly never buy anything at first instance, and it’s important to take their email addresses so you could post them regular newsletters and keep yourself refreshed in their minds the next time they are willing to buy products of that very nature. Ask your visitors to subscribe for a newsletter whenever they land onto your site. Special offers, latest products and interesting articles must be the components of your newsletter.

Create Active Blogs:

Blogs (web logs) have become an interesting way of generating maximum traffic for your website. If your blog contains good content and information and you are actively promoting it as well, BINGO!! You have just found a way to increase your customers.

Off-Line Marketing:

Promote your site in every way you can. Put your URL on business cards, letters, T-shirts, traditional means of advertising and marketing etc.

If you are seeking to build a website that attracts maximum traffic and increase your sales by keeping the above aspects in mind, look no further.

After a messy break-up with your significant other months ago, your best friend finally talked you into joining an online dating service. Now that you’ve registered, completed a brief questionnaire and submitted your most recent photo, you’re excited about meeting someone new.

At first glance, you’re impressed with the profiles of several attractive, successful singles. But, what your friend failed to tell you is that what you see online, isn’t always what you get in person.

According to Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, the largest brick-and-mortar dating service in the world, “Online dating sites are used by the honest and dishonest alike. Men and women use the anonymity of the Web to lie about their age, appearance, name and even gender. For example, cheating spouses will use online dating sites to hook up with someone when they go out of town. It’s important to be aware of the perils of online dating before you get burned.”

Falzone alerts online daters of the red flags which signal potential dates to avoid:

R U free 2nite? The “texter” who has a few seconds to send text messages, but is always too busy or not available to actually chat on the phone or via email. This type likes communication to be kept to a minimum, unless s/he initiates it. Dates are often made and cancelled at the last minute with a variety of excuses used. S/he is often out of town a lot and inaccessible. These are common signs of someone who is not single and/or not being honest with you. Move on. You can do much better.

Beauty or beast? Beware of dishonesty through photo misrepresentation. Note that a good profile usually provides more than one photo of that person. If the photo looks too professional, chances are, it is – and perhaps even “borrowed” from somewhere else. And yes, there are people who deliberately post their high school photo from 15 years ago to attract your interest.

Think you hit the jackpot when you get a nice response with a good-looking photo? One of the ways competing online dating sites draw you in is by responding to you with profiles of “beautiful people” from another dating site. After you’ve clicked over to that site and signed up to meet that gorgeous creature, oftentimes you’ll find they don’t even exist. Save your time and money by responding to those who are members of your dating site.

Little lies. So you recently arranged to meet that single, 6’4”, trim and muscular, brown-haired former college basketball captain whom you found online. Upon meeting in person, you find out that the only thing true in his description of himself was his hair color. Some believe that telling “little lies” on their profile with regard to a couple inches in height or a couple pounds in weight won’t matter. Be aware that those who misrepresent themselves on the “little things” may have no problem lying about “bigger things” such as their marital status and age. Don’t settle for what you read in a profile. Verify the information they have offered by asking about their age, relationship status, height and weight. They may refuse to answer your questions or they may provide different information. Or, everything may measure up. Regardless, you’ll have a better idea of that person’s honesty and whether or not you really want to meet him/her.

The “put down”. Avoid the online profile that disrespects and rips an ex-lover to shreds or simply informs you of those aspects s/he doesn’t want in a date. For example, “looking for someone without issues - unlike my fat, drunk ex.” Or, “if you’re needy, jealous and selfish, look elsewhere”. These are profiles that signal potential anger issues. Statements such as these come from someone who has recently ended a relationship or is emotionally scarred from a past relationship and really not happy. Leave them be. You don’t need to be their sounding board or rebound date. They’re not ready to date now and won’t be until they can move on.

Every one is concerned about the beauty of their web page design. If you are concerned about the look of your website and want it to load fast then here are few commonly used tricks that you may want to consider:

Avoid putting everything in one big block, not even text. Make use of white space and separate the text in paragraph. This will make the text look neat and more readable.

Do you like colored pages? It's okay, but in general, if you care about the readability of your text then a white background with black text works best. If keeping a colored background is must for you then you can make sure the resolutions by viewing it in resolution like 256 colors, to check the appearance of the page. A colored page that looks fine on your 32 bit color resolution system may have dithering that makes your text difficult to read on lesser settings.

Most of the companies prefer white background, you may check their websites and you will find that how beautifully they have used the white background. The common text color on white background is obviously black but some companies do not hesitate at all in experimenting. After all experiment make you different from others.

Few big companies who do so may probably have more resources for testing the usability of their website than you have, so it will be better if you do not play with your designs too quickly.

Reduce the size of the individual graphics files on your pages by using the following methods:

Reduce the number of colors in the graphic

Reduce the size of the image, if possible

In animations, reduce the number of frames

On searching online you can find many tools (free also) which can help you in reducing your GIF files. There are many forums, blogs, articles and online venues where you can find out numerous ways to do so. People in the online arena are eager enough to answer your query.

Just as a note of caution I would like to say that focus on the content is equally important as design of the web page. Good designs and graphics may hold them for extra couple of minutes but your content will make them to rely on you.

Balancing Work and Home

2009-04-25T13:18:00.002+07:00

Work is addicting...and more so when your computer is your office or shop! And while you spend hour upon hour to network with other netpreneurs and provide online customer services to your clients, you tend to neglect a dozen odd household jobs.
Hours seem to fly by when work online. As for your household duties, with great effort, you just take care of the most basic ones like fixing dinner, driving your kids to school etc.
Cleaning, Organizing, Buying Groceries, paying your bills, going to the post office etc. are postponed till the last hour. So how do your balance your work along with your home?

There are two important steps to do this. First, make yourself realize the fact that you HAVE TO take some time out for your home and there is no excuse in the world to avoid that.
Secondly, start organizing your available time. Here are some quick steps to help you balance your work as well as your home.
1. Divide available hours between your home and your work diligently.
2. Set timers when you are working online.
3. Maintain a 'To Do' list or a diary.
4. Picture yourself going through the troubles of paying your bills later than allowed.
5. Set aside some time for all those jobs which require you to go outside. For e.g. going to the market, post office, bank etc. Try to coincide these with each other. Say, for example, you could take care of these after driving your kids to school.
6. Make up your mind and start some kind of organizing/ decorating/ renovating activity around your house. These are so addicting that once you start, you will enjoy yourself a lot.
7. Similarly, take up your favorite hobby in the afternoon. You will love the change and enjoy getting creative.
8. Plan weekly activities. Take up cleaning once a week. Go for outings once a week. Call upon a friend once a week. This will help you maintain your social life as well.
9. Surf the net for information related to a hobby. This will get you started with that hobby and also give you the much needed break from work.
10. Surf the web with your hubby or children. Show them websites of their interest. That way, you will also get to spend more time with them.
Just like the old saying - 'You Eat to Live, You do not Live to Eat', I'll say
'You Work to Live, You do not Live to Work'. It's no use being successful on the cost of your home and your family.
Good Luck with your efforts to striking a balance between your work and your home!

How to Find the Best Vacation Home Rental

2009-04-25T13:16:00.001+07:00

Not everyone is comfortable with the idea of renting a private residence for their vacation, although with a little help they could and should be. Here are a few tips on how to over come some concerns about how and why renting private homes in tropical vacation areas is the best way to insure a "perfect" vacation.

There are literally thousands of homes available for vacation rentals. Trying to find the one that fits your needs can be threatening, but really doesn't have to be. Obviously you have to start by knowing where you hope to vacation. With this destination in mind searching the internet to find sites that advertise these accommodations is easy. Once you have surfed a while and made yourself familiar with a few rental sites you can start to notice a few things.

First, pictures are king! Home owners who have a place they are proud of will have as many photos as they are allowed to have, and will have photos of as much as they can. If you have a home to be proud of you show pictures. So always be suspicious of sites that do not have a LOT of pictures.

Secondly, pay close attention to the description of the property. Again, proud home owners are not being boastful when they describe their home in colorful, expressive ways. They talk about their vacation home the way anybody talks about anything they are very proud of and want to share with others. So ads that are short, curt and devoid of description should be avoided.

Thirdly notice who you will be dealing with. If it's a management company or another 3rd party source, that just takes you one step further away from the REAL decision maker. The real decision maker is the homeowner, the one that has cared for, maintained and created a slice of paradise that they are making available to you. When you deal with the actual home owner, there can be a bond created that becomes your MAIN source of confidence that you are getting the best vacation home rental you can. I liken it to the difference between buying a car from a used car lot verses the previous owner. Why do people get rid of their cars via dealers? They KNOW selling it themselves will be a tough sell. But if you have a quality car you are looking to replace, selling it yourself presents no problem. Quality sells itself.

If the sterile, impersonal environment found in most hotels and resorts is what you want, then vacation home rentals may not be right for you. On the other hand, now that you know what to look for, you may find that once you experience vacation home rentals for your family, you will never take any other type of vacation again.

What Is This Hosted Sevices I Keep Hearing About ?

2009-04-25T13:13:00.002+07:00

Hosted Services and Cloud Computing. These are two of the new buzz words that we are hearing from the IT industry. But what exactly are they? Well, hosted services can mean any IT service that is hosted in a third party environment. Web Site hosting has been around for many years and people didn't make a big deal out of that, and those old enough to remember bureau services provided a type of hosted service many years ago.

So why make a big deal about "hosted services" now?

Traditionally, companies run their IT systems with a server and client workstations onsite. If they had multiple offices, they ran this configuration in each site or used serial communications if their application was suitable. With the advent of increased graphics in applications, serial communication couldn’t be used, however the traditional server and workstations located in the workplace works well.

With the advancement in technology, applications are becoming more feature and graphic rich and data communications have become faster and cheaper. The increasing demand for timely information, increased uptime, improved communications with email and wireless connectivity, it is becoming an expensive exercise to setup, maintain and upgrade in the traditional local environment. Companies need in-house skills or contractors in local area networking, server maintenance, security, mobile communications and overall system strategy not to mention which staff member was responsible for backup.

Most successful companies or businesses these days want to focus on their core business. Technology and IT are tools they use to achieve their objectives or a necessary evil forced upon them. They don't want to know about it but they want it to work for the lowest possible price.

So the objective is utilizing the latest technology without hassles for the lowest price. Enter the "New Hosted Services". The following business example will illustrate the some of the features of Hosted Services:

Business: "Medical Practice"
Location: "Two Surgeries"
Doctors in Total: "12"
Admin Staff: "4"

Requirement: Doctors have to be able to access patient records from both locations, home and local nursing homes. Administration staff also need access.

Backups and System up time are critical as all patient records are on the Server.

Business doesn't want to employ full time IT staff and contractors can be slow to respond.

There are many good Software packages that provide databases and accounting for the medical industry. Current technology allows one location to access another cost effectively however the communications are still not fast enough for the remote branch. This occurs because ADSL which most people use has a much slower speed on the out traffic than in traffic so the remote site is limited to the speed of the out traffic.

One solution is use a high speed BDSL line, however this is very expensive and we still incur all the other costs and problems of running and maintaining an in house system.

What do Hosting Centres provide?

Most provide a secure controlled environment for your server using your software and hardware. They also supply faster communication channels plus some type of remote hands service.

You are responsible for everything else.

Some specialist centres, we will call them Managed Application Providers, provide everything except your application software.

If the medical practice moves their IT to this type of centre, the centre will provide Hardware, Operating Systems, Managed Communications, Redundant Systems and Backup just to name a few services. This service is charged generally on a per user per month basis. Applications can be accessed using low cost ADSL because the centre’s have large capacity Data links. The centres have 24 hours support and are continually upgrading their equipment and Operating System to the latest version.

From the medical practice point of view, it meets their requirements.

Creative and Profitable Ways to Use Autoreponders

2009-04-25T13:09:00.000+07:00

An interested visitor who has been strolling through your site has finally come to just what she is looking for and is about to make a purchase. It's a sunny afternoon, and her cat, who happens to be sitting on the moss under the visitor's large fifty-year-old snow-rose bonsai tree, suddenly jumps down, and the priceless tree topples over.

In the blink of an eye, your visitor exits your site, and your sale is dust - unless you have had the foresight to utilize an autoresponder that has captured her email address. If you have installed an autoresponder, you can then follow-up with her, and in all probability, make the sale when the poor woman has finished repotting her precious bonsai

Autoresponders are remarkable, versatile programs that do so much more than just automatically answer your email. Here are a few ideas that will help you to creatively and productively use your autoresponder to transform the casual visitor into a profitable customer. Use your autoresponder to:

1. Publish a newsletter. Certain quality autoresponders will manage subscriptions and follow-up with interested prospects. Your newsletter can keep your visitors informed about your services or products, while building your reputation as a credible expert in your particular business.

2. Publish a newsletter only for your affiliates. Inform them of current sales you are running and of promotional material that your affiliates can use themselves to increase their commissions. Include tips, advice, and techniques that your affiliates can use to successfully go out and promote your business.

3. Write reviews. Cover books, software, music, e-books, movies, etc., and put each review in an autoresponder. Review your affiliate programs, using a link to your affiliate's page in your autoresponder.

4. Distribute your articles. Writing and distributing targeted articles is a powerful tool to build your business credibility, bring traffic to your site, and increase your sales potential. If your articles contain valuable information, many editors will print what is known as a resource box for you. A resource box contains your bio and a brief description of your service or product. It can also contain your autoresponder address. Let's say you've written fifty articles. Put them on separate autoresponder accounts and create a master list that contains the titles of each article, the autoresponder address, and a brief abstract. Then promote your master list. Additionally, include your publishing guidelines so your affiliates can add their articles to your list, increasing the number of writers who are represented in your article list.

5. Create mailing lists. Inform subscribers to your articles when you've written new ones that they may want to publish in their own newsletter or website.

6. Automate your sales process. Use an ad to insure repeated exposure of your message, which has been proven to effectively increase sales. In your ad, put your autoresponder address where a visitor will be exposed to numerous marketing materials. This multiplies the chances of converting visitors into customers. For example, if you're selling a particular product, put testimonials about how spectacular it is on your autoresponder, and add a detailed, enticing description of your product.

7. Distribute advertising. Let's say you sell advertising on your website or in your newsletter or e-zine. Set your autoresponder to send the information about rates and how to place an ad automatically to all prospects' email addresses. Then have your autoresponder follow-up. It can also send notification of any special deals you are currently offering.

8. Distribute an email course. Each day, have your autoresponder send out another lesson. Just be sure that each lesson has quality content - not a sales pitch. Your content will do the selling for you, and will do it much more effectively. You can include tips centered on a different topic for each lesson, illustrating how your product will benefit the reader. Include the tangible benefits the visitor will reap by purchasing your product. Make sure to include a paragraph or two at the end of each lesson enticing your prospect to consider making a purchase.

9. Automate a reminder about your service or product after a visitor has completed your course. This will increase the possibility of sales from visitors who have taken your course but are dragging their feet about actually making a purchase. You can also use these reminders to promote new products or services, and the products and services of your affiliate programs.

10. Distribute free reports. This gives your visitor an idea of the type of information you can provide and the quality of your product or service. Make sure these reports are not sales letters or you will more than likely lose a potential customer than gain a sale.

11. Create trivia quizzes on your site and place the answers in an autoresponder. Your visitor will then be motivated to request your autoresponder, and you will have a record of the visitors' email addresses who took your quiz. Or create a contest and have any visitors that enter send their responses to your autoresponder. Your autoresponder can be set-up to send them a confirmation of their entry.

12. Offer a trial version of your product. Give your prospects a sample of your ebook, course, software, membership, etc. People who are exposed to a little taste often end up wanting the whole pie. You can also capture their email addresses when you offer them a free trial from your website. Set up your autoresponder to give instructions on how to obtain their free trial, and then make sure to follow-up to try and close the sale.

13. Link to hidden pages on your autoresponder. For example, a hidden page could be your affiliate page that contains graphics, promotional articles, and text links that interested affiliates can make use of. Inform visitors that they may have free access to your affiliate page by simply requesting your autoresponder. You will then gather a list of visitors who may be interested in becoming your affiliates.

14. Use an autoresponder on your order page. Post a request form for visitors to be notified of special offers or discounts in the future. This creates a very effective mailing list that contains the names of people who are already your customers.

15. Put your links page on your autoresponder. It should contain up to fifty links that would be of particular interest to your visitors. Make sure to add your own promotional copy at the top or bottom of this page.

Now that you have proof that autoresponders can be used creatively, see if you can come up with some brilliant ideas of your own!

Secrets of Email Marketing

2009-04-25T13:04:00.000+07:00

Of all the ways to get website traffic and make money online, nothing tops email marketing. One form of email marketing is unsolicited bulk email marketing or spamming, which I think is not worth the trouble. Another form is opt-in email list rental. This strategy can be profitable, however, to get good results you need to pay up and it can get quite expensive. If you want to try it, I recommend postmasterdirect.com. or yesmail.com The best bang for your buck in email marketing is email newsletter classified and sponsorship advertising" or ezine advertising. It is one of the most effective ways to get targeted traffic -- cheap.

Terry Telford who writes an ezine magazine suggests that you locate ezine magazines that your target market actually looks forward to reading. Just visit an ezine directory and search for ezines in your niche market. Subscribe to a bunch of free ezines and read them as they arrive. Look for larger circulation ezines that have a good following. If you like the content in any particular ezine, then hundreds or thousands of other readers probably do too. Place a classified ad and if your site and offer are up to snuff, you'll make a profit nearly every time. If you can swing a top sponsorship ad, that works about five times better than a regular classified ad! Here are two solid ezine directories you can scour and locate lots of ezines that target your particular niche...

Ezine Hub

An even better way to utilize email newsletters to drive traffic and sales is to purchase "email newsletter solo mailings."

YourHomeJob.com Solo Mailings:

I think this is the most powerful method of online advertising available today. A solo mailing is one time mailing, of your ad alone, to an entire database of thousands of opt-in subscribers. The company I can recommend for this service is YourHomeJob.com. I think they have reasonable prices for this highly effective type of email marketing. Their solo mailing service provides the type of targeted, direct response advertising used by the big boys in the online world.

Tom Hespos in his article entitled "A Bleak Future for Email Marketing?" said, in effect, that when the "average" person receives direct email, he/she deletes it instantly if it a) appears commercial, and b) does not come from a familiar party.

Tom's conclusion is summed up in his article's title -- Are people so inundated that these offers are going to be instantly trashed and never opened? Is it only going to get worse? Solo mailings to newsletter subscribers offers marketers most of the same direct email benefits (it's essentially the same thing), while delivering to an audience via a trusted information resource.

The two most common ways of gathering a solo mailing audience are to make it part of the newsletter opt-in process or to install a secondary landing page with topic-specific special offers after the person has subscribed.

Here are some pointers from Todd Kellner in her article Solo Mailing: The Best of Both Worlds? :

The best way to ensure that your subscribers know where the offer is coming from is to put [Ezine Name] first in your subject line. Because most buyers are not familiar with the distinction between newsletter solo mailings and traditional direct email, CPMs are generally at a much lower rate, for now, than direct-email kingpins such as PostmasterDirect and yesmail.com are commanding. PostmasterDirect, for example, offers several "pinpoint" demographic settings, such as age and geotargeting, which are most attractive to buyers. For you to be able to command similar CPMs, you will need to be able to set up your list in a way where you can pull up the same information, and you will often have to split up your list for targeted deliveries.

If you are unable to do this, it does not preclude you from sending out solo mailings. Keep in mind that it usually will, however, mean a significantly lower CPM. Many buyers will still like the idea of an email with just their offer in it -- some feel that their offers get lost in an email newsletter's content, and they also enjoy more than 7 lines to pitch their product or service. Too many mailings to your subscribers may result in a substantial attrition rate. Keep your offers tasteful and targeted, and watch the frequency rate -- once a week is probably a nice place to start. If you receive an alarming rate of unsubscribes or a large amount of positive feedback, adjust accordingly. The last form of email marketing strategy which I've been using is "email newsletter network advertising." In a nutshell, you pay email newsletter management sites to run top sponsorship ads across their network of newsletters. The traffic can be targeted to just about any niche and it's faster that finding each of the ezines yourself. Although this requires a larger initial investment than running ads in individual ezines, in the long run it is usually cheaper and it requires much less effort. The best advertising resource I've ever found on the web is an email newsletter network.

One last word about email marketing. For a fee, there are some companies which offer services from email templates to email tracking and reporting. One such company I like is SpeakUp! Email Marketing. They make it easy to create professional-looking emails—fast and with no technical expertise. They offer list management allowing you to add new contacts, import your current lists, store additional contact information, update information and group contacts by the criteria you choose. One of their features which I find useful is real time email tracking and reporting which lets you know how many emails were delivered, which addresses bounced, and why—within minutes of sending your email campaign. You also get reports on who opened your email, which links generated the most interest, and who clicked on each one. This valuable information will help you to determine your contacts' interests, the best day and time to send your email campaigns and much more such as how many contacts opted in or opted out and Unsubscribe Comment Box lets you collect comments on why people are opting out and what percentage of your contacts opened .

Boost Your Income

2009-04-04T23:30:00.002+07:00

I want to share my experience with all of u my friends. About one month ago I am asked by Mr Haris to join his affiliation program. He guaranteed me $125 in 24 hours, I reject his offering. I aware that many affiliate company offer joining money just to trick new affiliate (victim?) to join their program.

With this database they serve American citizen to find their relative, lover, old friend etc. Every user can query database using name, state, sex and age, when the result appear they asked to pay $2 till $20 to access complete basic personal data. For example, if u wants to find Walter Maxwell, type the name to the search engine and the result will appear. If u wants detailed information you must pay.

The commission come from user payment, the percentage is high about ten to twenty percent. If you want to try it by yourself please click the link on this blog named “Paid For Searching People”.

What Is Your Latte Factors?

2009-04-04T21:25:00.004+07:00

Have u heard the term “The Latte Factor?” mmmm, no, its not about phsyics, math? Wrong again. Yup, that’s it. Latte factor is about coffee but its impact your pocket dramatically. Yes its effect ur wealth. How it works……?

Latte factor talks about how much money are you wasting every day. It originate from American drinking two cups of coffee habit, I think 80% people in the world do. In America, people drink coffee two cups every day, if the price of a cup coffee is $5, each day evey American citizen spend $10 or $300 a month. If someone reduce their spend on coffee , become a cup coffee every day it mean he save $150 every month. If he put that money on the bank account, with the bank rate 4 % annually, he will receive $ 55.000 after 20 years after and its equal to present value $ 27.500.

Ok, ok, the number could be debatable, but the idea is ingenious. It created base on the simple idea that first thing you need to do to finish rich is look at small things on which you spend your money every day and see whether you could redirect that spending to your self, in this example putting five dollar on the bank account rather than a cup of coffee. You could find ur latte factor by your self base on your live style.

For most of us, there is no faster or more effective and easier way to take control of your financial destiny than to find out exactly how much potential wealth you are squandering as a result of unnecessary spending on non primary expenditure. Finding your latte factor is not the only way to finish rich, but it is the easiest one to do and I think also the first one.
I hope u got the idea, agree with it and doing it.
Have a nice business and happy sharing.

Blog Walking Etiquette

2009-04-04T20:46:00.003+07:00

I was told by my friend, on the cyber he called him self the man, to do blog walking to promote my blog. First I am using blog spot update information (BUI), if u notice its appear on the top left corner when u are log in to blog spot, after know about shout mix box and chat box on the net, I use them. Using shout mix or chat box is more effective than using BUI. Using BUI has its own advantage rather than shout mix box, but now I will share about blog walking etiquette. Well, I prefer to use the term blog crawling or blog surfing rather than blog walking, ups lets talk about the etiquette.

I think blog walking is about socialization among blogger, they visit another blogger blog, introduce them self, make a comment about the posting, etc. By doing this, they can promote their blog and also creating traffic which is important for every cyberman  Hey, don’t argue about blog crawling effectiveness to increase traffic here. Even though traffic is important, the purpose of blog walking is making friendship.
When we visit another blog, introduce ur self and give them comment. Show that u looking for friendship. Feel free to speak ur mind about their blog. You can say about their posting or their blog lay out, or their adds, etc. When doing this u appreciates their works. As a blogger, you will be happy if some one appreciates what ur work so do the other.And that’s a good starting point to have friendship.

Secondly, be honest and keep ur integrity. Don’t use bullshit word, if u say “Your content is good” than its must come from ur heart. If u say “I click ur add” you really doing that.

Third, use informal languages, don’t be formal. Imagine that u talk to the blogger face 2 face but carefully choose the word, don’t post to long comment. And then, regularly visit ur blogger friend.

If ur blog has widget link its easier for you to manage ur friend blog address. Unfortunately this time I don’t have widget link yet. I hope soon I will have one. I am sory my friends. U must manage your friend link, since they are ur friend and u must care about them. It is about friendship remember.

Five, when u become close with the blogger, ask about their activity such as “ what u have for dinner?” But don’t ask a private question because ever visitor can read ur question and u don’t personally know the blogger.

And the last, keep save your friend business. I mean, don’t accidently make trouble for them. For example, u are good heart then every day you visit the same blog and click the add there, your friend may be banned by the publisher because they suspecting ur friend doing fraud click.

I don’t have any more idea, please add one from ur mind. Thank u. Have a nice day and happy sharing.

History Of E Commerce

2009-03-29T15:15:00.002+07:00

This article was inspired from many sources about e-commerce, its nice to share with you about it. I hope u will see the benefit knowing what E-commerce is.
In the first, electronic commerce maintaining business relationships and selling information, services, and commodities by means of computer telecommunications networks.
Although in the vernacular e-commerce usually refers only to the trading of goods and services over the Internet, broader economic activity is included. E-commerce consists of business-to-consumer and business-to-business commerce as well as internal organizational transactions that support these activities.

E-commerce originated in a standard for the exchange of business documents, such as orders or invoices, between suppliers and their business customers. This standard had its inception in the 1948–49 Berlin blockade and airlift. The U.S. Army quickly discovered that the normal manner of transacting business—accompanied by paper orders—could not keep up with the necessary flow of goods into Berlin. To break the paper bottleneck, Edward A. Guilbert, a logistics officer in the army, set up a system of ordering via telex, radio-teletype, and telephone. Various industries elaborated upon this system in the ensuing decades before the first general standard was published in 1975. The resulting national electronic data interchange (EDI) standard is unambiguous, independent of any particular machine, and flexible enough to handle most simple electronic transactions.
With the introduction of the first graphical “browser” software for accessing the World Wide Web in 1993, and the ensuing scramble for companies and individuals to get “online,” most e-commerce shifted to the Internet. In some fields new Internet retailers such as the bookseller Amazon.com grew up, seemingly overnight, to challenge the dominance of traditional retailers. Some established companies embraced the electronic commerce model as well. The Intel Corporation, for instance, sold almost half of its $30 billion in annual computer-chip sales directly through its Web site in 1999 and planned to move most of its sales to the Web in succeeding years.
As important as standard forms are for business-to-business transactions, e-commerce encompasses much wider activity. For example, secure electronic transfer of sensitive information (such as credit card numbers and electronic funds transfer [EFT] orders) is essential to the continued growth of e-commerce. In addition to encrypting Web purchase forms, many individuals also routinely encrypt their e-mail.
Among other innovations that have contributed to the growth of e-commerce are electronic directories and search engines for finding information on the Web; software agents, or “bots,” that act autonomously to locate goods and services; and digital authentication services that vouch for identities over the Internet. These intermediary services facilitate the sale of goods (actually delivering the goods in the case of information), the provision of services such as banking, ticket reservations, and stock market transactions, and even the delivery of remote education and entertainment. Electronic auctions and reverse markets (where a buyer elicits offers from many sellers) are another growing component of e-commerce. From its founding in 1995, the world's largest online open auction site, eBay Inc., grew to more than 42 million members at the start of the 21st century.
Businesses often deploy private networks (intranets) for sharing information and collaborating within the company, usually insulated from the surrounding Internet by computer-security systems known as firewalls. Businesses also frequently rely on extranets, extensions of a company's intranet that allow portions of its internal network to be accessed by collaborating businesses. Access to these extranets is generally restricted via passwords.
Several important phenomena are associated with e-commerce. The role of geographic distance in forming business relationships is reduced. Barriers to entry into the retail business are lower, as it is relatively inexpensive to start a retail Web site. Some traditional business intermediaries are being replaced by their electronic equivalents or are being made entirely dispensable. (For instance, as airlines have published fare information and enabled ticketing directly over the Internet, storefront travel agencies have declined.) Prices of commodity products are generally lower on the Web—a reflection not merely of the lower costs of doing electronic business but also of the ease of comparison shopping in cyberspace. A new form of corporate cooperation known as a virtual company, which is actually a network of firms, each performing some of the processes needed to manufacture a product or deliver a service, has flourished.

I hope this information enrich you.

Five Critical Factor To Boost Affiliation Commission You Should Consider

2009-03-29T15:05:00.000+07:00

Affiliation marketing is an ideal starting point for everyone who doing online business. They could earn and learn with no cost at all. Its make them use their time, money, and other resources for their benefit and they could develop themselves by the time. That’s why affiliate marketing called earn with learn.

Even though affiliate marketing is very effective and incredible to do, there are five critical factors everybody should aware. Those five points must be considered before you join any affiliation program.
1. Decide the targeted market.
You must identify the targeted market of the product. It is about giving people what they need, most affiliate company didn’t do it, they just sell the product without thinking about what people need. You must create a need that will be fulfilled by the product or you must identify what kind of people will need the product and how to reach them.
2. Know the quality of the product
Knowing the product is a must, you should not sell anything if you know nothing about it, even if you just a broker. When you sell a product, any kind, your potential customer will ask u about it. They are doubted the benefit having your product and they will ask u “why I must have this product” and you must convince them that they need the product. Another question they will ask is “is the price worthy with the benefit they will get” You can make sales if you could answer those two questions. Your answer will convince everyone if you know much about the product its mean u have used it.
3. Make sales letter and be sure the letter really sell
Introducing your product to the people is important. In cyber world email is the effective way to campaign the product. The email must give information about benefit of the product, how the product fulfill people need, focus to the people need. Make the product as basics need, people buy basic need first before everything else. For example health is a basic need, food, dress, automobile, house it’s a basic need. You must little creative here, today human basic need is different from many years ago, even you can create new basic need if you aware about people lifestyle. The change of life style, change the basic need. Do you with me? Got the idea?
After you inform about the benefit, tell them “how to get the product”, in this part you give your web address or ask them to reply the email.
4. Be sure the company give you enough marketing material
Every affiliate company has a marketing tool and material, you can just use it to start your campaign.
5. Your marketing strategy must be profitable
Think carefully whether your strategy is effective and profitable or not. Do some trial and error with the target. For example, do test to your strategy with measured target. Whether your strategy increased the traffic to your web? Or if you send email to the group, how many replied email do you got? Well if you targeted that your strategy is may 80 % effective if your web traffic increase 30 % and your email replied by 100 people, up to you but the bottom line is you must test your marketing method and always improve your strategy.
They are five points you must consider before starting your affiliate online business. I don’t say that after you do those point automatically you will success, what I mention here is about preparation before doing business. I believe you agree that better preparation and planning is about 80 % to success. Always open your mind, and share with other.
Have a nice business and sharing

Cyber Crime

2009-03-29T14:53:00.002+07:00

Cyber crime also known as computer crime the use of a computer as an instrument to further illegal ends, such as committing fraud, trafficking in child pornography and intellectual property, stealing identities, or violating privacy. Cybercrime, especially through the Internet, has grown in importance as the computer has become central to commerce, entertainment, and government.

Because of the early and widespread adoption of computers and the Internet in the United States, most of the earliest victims and villains of cybercrime were Americans. By the 21st century, though, hardly a hamlet remained anywhere in the world that had not been touched by cybercrime of one sort or another.
New technologies create new criminal opportunities but few new types of crime. What distinguishes cybercrime from traditional criminal activity? Obviously, one difference is the use of the digital computer, but technology alone is insufficient for any distinction that might exist between different realms of criminal activity. Criminals do not need a computer to commit fraud, traffic in child pornography and intellectual property, steal an identity, or violate someone's privacy. All those activities existed before the “cyber” prefix became ubiquitous. Cybercrime, especially involving the Internet, represents an extension of existing criminal behaviour alongside some novel illegal activities.
Most cybercrime is an attack on information about individuals, corporations, or governments. Although the attacks do not take place on a physical body, they do take place on the personal or corporate virtual body, which is the set of informational attributes that define people and institutions on the Internet. In other words, in the digital age our virtual identities are essential elements of everyday life: we are a bundle of numbers and identifiers in multiple computer databases owned by governments and corporations. Cybercrime highlights the centrality of networked computers in our lives, as well as the fragility of such seemingly solid facts as individual identity.
An important aspect of cybercrime is its nonlocal character: actions can occur in jurisdictions separated by vast distances. This poses severe problems for law enforcement since previously local or even national crimes now require international cooperation. For example, if a person accesses child pornography located on a computer in a country that does not ban child pornography, is that individual committing a crime in a nation where such materials are illegal? Where exactly does cybercrime take place? Cyberspace is simply a richer version of the space where a telephone conversation takes place, somewhere between the two people having the conversation. As a planet-spanning network, the Internet offers criminals multiple hiding places in the real world as well as in the network itself. However, just as individuals walking on the ground leave marks that a skilled tracker can follow, cybercriminals leave clues as to their identity and location, despite their best efforts to cover their tracks. In order to follow such clues across national boundaries, though, international cybercrime treaties must be ratified.
In 1996 the Council of Europe, together with government representatives from the United States, Canada, and Japan, drafted a preliminary international treaty covering computer crime. Around the world, civil libertarian groups immediately protested provisions in the treaty requiring Internet service providers (ISPs) to store information on their customers' transactions and to turn this information over on demand. Work on the treaty proceeded nevertheless, and on November 23, 2001, the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention was signed by 30 states. Additional protocols, covering terrorist activities and racist and xenophobic cybercrimes, were proposed in 2002. In addition, various national laws, such as the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, have expanded law enforcement's power to monitor and protect computer networks.
There are some act identified as cyber crime :
1. Identity theft and invasion of privacy
Cybercrime affects both a virtual and a real body, but the effects upon each are different. This phenomenon is clearest in the case of identity theft. In the United States, for example, individuals do not have an official identity card but a Social Security number that has long served as a de facto identification number. Taxes are collected on the basis of each citizen's Social Security number, and many private institutions use the number to keep track of their employees, students, and patients. Access to an individual's Social Security number affords the opportunity to gather all the documents related to that person's citizenship—i.e., to steal his identity. Even stolen credit card information can be used to reconstruct an individual's identity. When criminals steal a firm's credit card records, they produce two distinct effects. First, they make off with digital information about individuals that is useful in many ways. For example, they might use the credit card information to run up huge bills, forcing the credit card firms to suffer large losses, or they might sell the information to others who can use it in a similar fashion. Second, they might use individual credit card names and numbers to create new identities for other criminals. For example, a criminal might contact the issuing bank of a stolen credit card and change the mailing address on the account. Next, the criminal may get a passport or driver's license with his own picture but with the victim's name. With a driver's license, the criminal can easily acquire a new Social Security card; it is then possible to open bank accounts and receive loans—all with the victim's credit record and background. The original cardholder might remain unaware of this until the debt is so great that the bank contacts the account holder. Only then does the identity theft become visible. Although identity theft takes places in many countries, researchers and law-enforcement officials are plagued by a lack of information and statistics about the crime worldwide. Interpol, the international policing agency, has not added any type of cybercrime, including identity theft, to its annual crime statistics. Cybercrime is clearly, however, an international problem.
2. Internet fraud
Schemes to defraud consumers abound on the Internet. Among the most famous is the Nigerian, or “419,” scam; the number is a reference to the section of Nigerian law that the scam violates. Although this con has been used with both fax and traditional mail, it has been given new life by the Internet. In the scheme, an individual receives an e-mail asserting that the sender requires help in transferring a large sum of money out of Nigeria or another distant country. Usually, this money is in the form of an asset that is going to be sold, such as oil, or a large amount of cash that requires “laundering” to conceal its source; the variations are endless, and new specifics are constantly being developed. The message asks the recipient to cover some cost of moving the funds out of the country in return for receiving a much larger sum of money in the near future. Should the recipient respond with a check or money order, he is told that complications have developed; more money is required. Over time, victims can lose thousands of dollars that are utterly unrecoverable.
3. ATM fraud
Computers also make more mundane types of fraud possible. Take the automated teller machine (ATM) through which many people now get cash. In order to access an account, a user supplies a card and personal identification number (PIN). Criminals have developed means to intercept both the data on the card's magnetic strip as well as the user's PIN. In turn, the information is used to create fake cards that are then used to withdraw funds from the unsuspecting individual's account. In 1999 there were 251 reported cases of ATM fraud in the United States; in 2002 the New York Times reported that more than 21,000 American bank accounts had been skimmed by a single group engaged in acquiring ATM information illegally. A particularly effective form of fraud has involved the use of ATMs in shopping centres and convenience stores. These machines are free-standing and not physically part of a bank. Criminals can easily set up a machine that looks like a legitimate machine; instead of dispensing money, however, the machine gathers information on users and only tells them that the machine is out of order after they have typed in their PINs. Given that ATMs are the preferred method for dispensing currency all over the world, ATM fraud has become an international problem with multiple solutions. In August 2003 an individual in Australia pleaded guilty to stealing $A 623,000 from bank customers by using a small camera and an electronic recording device at multiple ATMs. Australia is now considering a ban on the purchase of equipment that criminals might use in ATMs to defraud customers. However, the range of equipment under consideration is quite large and useful for a variety of legitimate purposes as well.

4. Wire fraud
The international nature of cybercrime is particularly evident with wire fraud. One of the largest, and best-organized, wire fraud schemes was orchestrated by Vladimir Levin, a Russian programmer with a computer software firm in St. Petersburg. In 1994, with the aid of dozens of confederates, Levin began transferring some $10 million from subsidiaries of Citibank, N.A., in Argentina and Indonesia to bank accounts in San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Germany, and Finland. According to Citibank, all but $400,000 was eventually recovered as Levin's accomplices attempted to withdraw the funds. Levin himself was arrested in 1995 while in transit through London's Heathrow Airport (at the time, Russia had no extradition treaty for cybercrime). In 1998 Levin was finally extradited to the United States, where he was sentenced to three years in jail and ordered to reimburse Citibank $240,015. Exactly how Levin obtained the necessary account names and passwords has never been disclosed, but no Citibank employee has ever been charged in connection with the case. Because a sense of security and privacy are paramount to financial institutions, the exact extent of wire fraud is difficult to ascertain.

5. Counterfeiting and Forgery
File sharing of intellectual property is only one aspect of the problem with copies. Another more mundane aspect lies in the ability of digital devices to render nearly perfect copies of material artifacts. Take the traditional crime of counterfeiting. Until recently, creating passable currency required a significant amount of skill and access to technologies that individuals usually do not own, such as printing presses, engraving plates, and special inks. The advent of inexpensive, high-quality colour copiers and printers has brought counterfeiting to the masses. Ink-jet printers now account for a growing percentage of the counterfeit currency confiscated by the U.S. Secret Service. In 1995 ink-jet currency accounted for 0.5 percent of counterfeit U.S. currency; in 1997 ink-jet printers produced 19 percent of the illegal cash. The widespread development and use of computer technology has prompted the U.S. Treasury to redesign much of the U.S. paper currency to include a variety of anticounterfeiting technologies. The new European Union currency, the euro, has had security designed into it from the start. Special features, such as embossed foil holograms and special ribbons and paper, are designed to make counterfeiting difficult. Indeed, the switch to the euro presented an unprecedented opportunity for counterfeiters of preexisting national currencies. The great fear was that counterfeit currency would be laundered into legal euros. Fortunately, it was not the problem that some believed it would be.
Nor is currency the only document being copied. Immigration documents are among the most valuable, and they are much easier to duplicate than currency. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, this problem came under increasing scrutiny in the United States. In particular, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) issued several reports during the late 1990s and early 2000s concerning the extent of document fraud that had been missed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Finally, a 2002 report by the GAO reported that more than 90 percent of certain types of benefit claims were fraudulent and further stated that immigration fraud was “out of control.” Partially in response to these revelations, the INS was disbanded and its functions assumed by the newly constituted U.S.

Ok friends, be careful and always sharing

Optimizing Your Google Adsense

2009-03-21T09:29:00.004+07:00

Purpose of joining adsense is to have on line passive income, it is impossible to click or asking friend for clicking our adsense. You cant have passive income with that technique.
Let think that your web is a real estate on the net. The question is how to convert your real estate to be your passive income.

Adsense will give us money if our visitor love our web, visit our page again and again and again (and they click the advertising)
They get advantageous from the content, they like your web appearance, and they found your web easily via web engine or friend.

My friend told me "adsense love content" that true, but above all we love content. We going on line to get informed, wee seek valuable information from the net.

To attract your visitor you must make your web :
1. Give valuable information
Chose on topic or subject that mostly wanted or searched. On line marketing often called it 'niche'.
You can use keyword machine to find out most popular topic among online surfer. For example http://www.adwords.google.com/select/KeyWordExternal to find out suitable 'niche'.
2. Always update your web regularly
Internet is very dynamic, it is live for 24/7 everyday. If u dont up date your web regularly your visitor will leave you. It is not about how often you mus up date your web, it is about dicipline. Make a schedule for updating your web and stick with it. You can do it every week or every 3 days, up to you. My suggestion is, at least you must up date your web every week.
3. Keep your web nice
Appearance of your web is another key of sucsses. If your web well designed, eye catching, the composition of color, content and tool is cool i believe the visitor will enjoy visiting your web. Treat your web as u treat your house, your visitor is your guest.
4. Intorduce your web to internet community
To have visitor you must let every internet user know your web. Introduce your web to everybody.
You can do this to introduce your web :
- Make a signature on your email such as " Ahmad Nizar Hidayat http://www.resourcesofonlinebusiness.blogspot.com"
- Add your web to url directory such as : www.google.com/addurl
- Post an article to ezine web and add ur url
- Do some seo technique
- Active in one or more mailing list
- Advertise your web

5. Be Patient and keep promoting your web

Thanks u thats a little thing i could share

Affiliate Company You Must Avoid (Paid Per Click - Beginner Guide Part 3)

2009-03-14T22:39:00.002+07:00

Affiliate company growing each year some of them survive and many other close their site. It is important to recognize bonafide and trusted affiliate program. Saving your time is more important than getting money on the net. Do you know how to do that?

When I mention about affiliate company I refer to company who give paid per click program such as google adsense. Yes, affiliate company is not always give ppc program, but I this time we talked about ppc.
Affiliate company usually provide referral program. If u have joined or heard about mlm (multi level marketing), referral program is similar schema to mlm. This program could boost their advertise rank that will make their client happy but in other hand could send them bankrupt. On September 2008 google had pulled out their referral program for adsense. I think they had calculated the
Before you join any affiliate company (ac) keep in your mind :
1. Always comperhend their rule. Read the term and condition carefully and make sure that u understand what it means.
2. Be aware with referral program. Identify if they allowed renting referral program. Those program could be manipulated by the owner.
3. Every ac has their cut off payment. For example, at this time cut of payment for google adsense is $ 100. That’s thing make sense due to the transferring cost, but u don’t have to pay to claim your money. Some ac asked their affiliate to upgrade their membership so they could claim their money. If u find this kind of ac, I suggest u to join another one.
4. Find information about how ur ac will pay u. Whether they send u check, western union or using online payment service like paypal or alert pay. And keep in ur address book the ac email address or phone number so you can track your payment.
5. Share with another. Active in blog community or affiliate community. You can find news and rumor about ac in that community and u can ask them before join any ac.
It must be difficult for us to find bonafide ac specially the newbie like us (some of u maybe not). I think it is important to know some scam ac on the net, at least we could avoid them in the first time. Well if u don’t have trusted ac list, having scam ac list is good.
I found this list from my friend (http://www.hero-business.blogspot.com). I hope u can us this list for ur benefit.

Entering OnLine Business (Beginner Guide)

2009-03-14T10:05:00.004+07:00

The term e-commerce emerge since 2000, even in 1995 some international academic forecasted about new kind of economic segment.
E-commerce means economic activity using internet. Yes economic activity, and of course there are re-definition about economic activity. But i will not explain the new definition :)

Internet provide a media, communication media. That the basic. You can not produce non-digital product using internet. But you can sell a book, computer, jewelry and event a car and a house. So from economic point of view, internet give a service and digital product.

Before we take a look to a kind of services and digital product internet can give please keep in your mind this credo :
1. Internet is very vulnerable place, so always carefull.
2. On the net, exist old trick "I will give you 1000$ but first give me 10 $", examine carefully if u see such kind of advertise/invitation because the 1000$ didnt exist.

Service that internet can give for example are :
1. Domain, hosting, and web service.
Domain is an address of any web on the net such as : www.hukamaonline.com. Web itself is a page contain information. Hosting is a place to save the web.
What i means about web service is creating and managing web. One who create and manage web called web master.

2. Sell goods and stuffs
You can see www.ebay.com or www.amazon.com for example. The idea is relocate your shop to the net.

3. Advertise service
When internet become globaly and more human using it, its become new marketing media. Effectiveness of this media has been proven. Today, even politician using internet for their campaign. Can you belive it? FYI Barrack Obama hire professional IT for his campaign web. I am not fans of Barrack but i show you how powerfull internet is as communication media.

4. Payment service
It is the best and the smartest one. The problem trading on the net is about payment. The solution arouse and there are exist www.paypal.com. ; www.moneybookers.com etc
I couldnt give you detail information about the payment mechanism. But paypal is true and legal.

5. E-mail provider
E-mail provider is the worst one because on the net you will find abundance free email. But the idea is ok.

I think those five example are enough, many of the rest can be found by yourself on the net.

How to begin first business on line?

You can choose freely any kind of service or product you want to sell, but before that youl will need this three basic equipment :
1. You must have email
2. You must have web
3. You must registered to payment service

Just for you to know, this blog is free. Lets move, make one and launch your business.

Choosing Your First On Line BusinessA (Beginer Guide Part 2)

2009-03-14T09:57:00.005+07:00

Today you are ready for online business. You have email address, web site, and registered to online payment service. But what next?

Well if you already have idea or product just use your web site as shop and then advertise your product i.e your web. You can find another article in this blog about advertising your web and your product.

If you do not have product yet, the rest choice is selling service. Well if you have good programing skill, or having server hardware you can be a web master or provide hosting service. Assuming newbie, i suggest you to join affiliate or on line marketing program.
What you do is, advertise somebody product on your web. You will paid either someone click the advertising banner on your web or buy product.

I recommend you to join google adsense. I am already join adsense . Do you see the banner on the top right corner on this blog. Those are adsense banner.

How could google pay adsense affiliate?
Well, i told before that internet user become larger every year. Google provide internet user a tool to search web page address they want to see. For example, if you want to know if there exist information about java programing in the internet you just open Google web and type "java programing" click enter and whush....Google give you abundance web address about java programming. Thats why Google (also Yahoo, Altavista etc) called serach engine. And every internet user need search engine. Dont you agree with that?
Google is very popular, most of internet user used Google as their search engine.
Google take benefit from his popularity to give another service, advertising program called AddWord. If you want your web been advertised on Google, join AddWord and you must pay for that.

Adsense program develoved from AddWord to enlarge the coverage of advertising, Google ask for afilliate to advertise Google client on their web and will be paid if their web visitor click the banner.
