Basic Faqs About Press Releases And Websites

By Don Bethune

Many people who run a business or some type of service that requires communication with the public may sometimes wonder how they can communicate with the general populace effectively, but lack the forethought to take advantage of the most popular means of doing so available - the press release.

A press release is one of the best ways to communicate to all of your customers and soon to be customers. It enables you to make statements that turn your business into a more positive light and possibly make it a house hold name for some families. Using a press release provides all of the right tools to get your business out into the public.

In particular, those who run a website can use a press release through both traditional and untraditional means to create cheap website traffic. Press releases can act a means of driving website traffic by bringing curious people to your page to see why a release was issued.

Through a website traffic monitoring system is where the effects of a press release can really be seen. Programs like these work to track all spikes in traffic and changes in the overall trend of visitors directed at your press release. Overall, this allows you to see how the press release really benefited you.

Additionally, press releases used in combination with a website traffic monitoring system can allow you to see what kind of news your business sees positive and negative shifts in traffic. This metric tracking can allow you to form press releases to your audience.

Press releases, however, are not appropriate for some forms of business. If you are someone who is wondering "how to get traffic to my adult website" or "how to create buzz for my latest viral video," then press releases are not the way to go.

Only use a press release to give out information that is worthwhile in your customer's eyes. Always take the utmost caution and refrain from issuing too many releases as it can put a big question mark over your business sense. However if you do not release enough; there is a lack of communication, and your business looks sketchy.

All in all a press release is great for anyone who is running a website, a business, or an online business. They offer great assistance in attracting customers and getting your newest ideas and products out into the general public. As long as you use caution and a well thought out plan before issuing them, they can lead to great success for whatever business you may find yourself in. - 16890

I Found a Site with Free WordPress Themes!

By Russell M. Stewart

A lot of people are setting up their own blog sites these days. The hard part is not to create your own WordPress site, but to develop a site that has a theme which really fits your needs. Let me tell you about a website I found a few days ago that has many different free WordPress themes to choose from.

Many people who use WordPress have never used a site management system before, and are surprised at how easy they are to use. WordPress allows complete customization of your site, including the general layout, called a theme. These themes change the entire behaviour and appearance of your site, make it stand apart from other web sites.

One of the themes I saw on the site was financial theme. It was designed to be completely business oriented, looking similar to a news service blog. And it was only one of the many themes the site had to offer, covering a wide range of designs.

For bloggers, WordPress is like opening your very own online magazine. Create original articles, add some audio and video, and you've got a multimedia website that can be customized with WordPress themes to work well for hobbyists and business owners alike.

Experiment with a few themes, and discover which options you like the best. Turn your WordPress site into a creation that is totally your own by changing the layout and text, and even the basic colour scheme. Only your imagination limits what is possible on a WordPress theme.

Adjusting the meta tag information on each page help search engines index it more accurately. And the better a search engine is able to do the indexing, the better you will be ranked for searches. When you install a new WordPress theme, always be sure that the ability to edit meta information is available to you.

Your visitors will appreciate a fresh WordPress template. after all, your site isn't just like all the others, so it shouldn't look like them either. Get a new theme, and customize it to suit your company's tastes. WordPress is very flexible, and can be manipulated to create a vast number of variations on any given theme.

Try a different WordPress theme for yourself. They are easy to install, and provide an endless variety of options you can change about how your site looks and behaves. You can even modify the number of columns the site displays, as well as colours and other display options that truly make each page a unique creation. - 16890

The Hottest Trends in Web Designs

By Troy Cruz William Engle Dawn Khoury James Nissen Robert Hill Chris Laning Janet Taylor Jack Enders Bruce Gross Rick Bean Keith Wood Ray Johnson Alex Velez Paul Holtz Kenya Rios Peggy Dye Neal Dawes Lucas King David Hebert Karl Howell Jarrod Lucky Ruth Coats Doris Lund Ryan Hudson Henry Bush Lonnie May Arlen Bell Wanda Kuebler Kevin Stiles Nick Horton Jorge Pina Frank Vera Chad Copp Fred Brod Jose Cruz Jeremy Stanley Mark Jones Kelly McMahon Barney Bernard Ailleann Alan

A lot of business owners are stumped when it comes to website design. Sure, they know what to put in for the text of their website, but how they are supposed get all of the information that they want out there and still make it easy for their customers to find is something that they have trouble with. Usually, the first couple of attempts at website design are really clumsy and really messy, and their websites fail (or just struggle). If you are a new business owner or if you have a failed website, here are some tips on how to get the best website designed for your business.

The first tip for website design is to put everything on paper first. It is a lot easier to look at paper and to plan it out than it is to try to do everything on the computer and later have to change it ten times before you decide how you want it to look exactly. Another advantage of having your web design laid out on paper is that you can have people look at it, and if they can't find the things that you asked them to find, you will know that it is going to be even more difficult to do on a screen. You don't have to write down all of your text, just make sure you get your layout organized and all of the links mapped out.

Before, the goal of web design was to get your website to the top of the search engine results page. Every business owner wants that coveted number one position, and now it is going to take a clever design to get you there. Before, you could just stuff your pages with keywords, making text that was rubbish and rocket to the top because of this. Now, that isn't going to work and the search engine bots are going to label your page as junk if you have a page like this. Plus, in addition to having a high ranked page, you are also going to want to have one that is customer friendly and easy to read.

Finally, don't forget about your tags. If you don't know how to navigate HTML like a pro, you might want to ask a professional to do this step for you. Not forgetting to use page descriptions and meta tags as efficiently as possible and for each page is an absolute must.

Getting the best website design for your business is going to depend really on what you are selling. Keeping it clean, simple and easy for consumers to use is going to be your number one priority. If you want, a web design company can help you out and will probably give you some excellent advice, but most people should be able to do it themselves with little trial and error and a lot of hard work. - 16890

Why Are MP3s The Key To Personal Development?

By Carrie Spry

One thing that helped me practice personal development was my Ipod. I recommend them to anyone who wishes to seriously pursue personal development. Why an Ipod? Well, it's portable, can hold thousands of songs that can be organized by artist, genre, or play lists.

I find the Ipods are very easy to manage and use compared to other makes. I set everything up on my computer, which is easier than with little tiny buttons. I try to set up many different play lists with different themes. For example, I have a weight loss play list, a stop procrastinating play list, and be present play list among others.

When do I listen to these mp3s? Well, whenever I can. Before bed, I usually listen to some type of hypnosis mp3. This helps me relax and fall asleep easily. I can set up a play list that will only play 2-3 mp3s, that way, I won't kill the battery or have to wake up to turn it off, which is another benefit of Ipod of regular or cheap mp3 players.

I decided to go with the video model. I wasn't sure about spending the extra money at first, but time after time, it has proven itself valuable. I've downloaded Oprah's web casts on the book "A New Earth" which was written by Eckhart Tolle. I try to watch these when I am a passenger in a car on a long trip, or in a waiting room somewhere.

Actually it also came in handy when I had my last baby. I put some movies on it for my husband, and while I was patiently waiting to have the baby, my husband could watch movies. Also, after the little girl came into this world, it was nice to keep us occupied while waiting to be discharged.

One time I had car trouble and was stranded for two hours by myself waiting for help to arrive. I was so happy, I happen to have my Ipod with me. I watch Oprah in the middle of nowhere in my car. It was great. Well, I thought so anyways.

Another time I usually listen to mp3s is my drive to and from work. It helps start my day off right and relaxes me after a long and frustrating day at work. Before my Ipod, I would think about my day, what happened, what's going to happen tomorrow. Even when I went to sleep at night, my mind was consumed with work. I didn't know how to separate myself.

It would take me at least an hour to get to sleep at night and even then, I would end up dreaming about work, what would happen, what I would try to get done the next. And the worst thing about work was the politics. Politics appear in every work place. Other people call it drama, but when management is a part, I call it politics.

Now, it takes me less than 10 minutes to fall asleep. From the time I lay my head down, to deep sleep. I am so happy. I get a better night sleep and wake up happier in the morning. I have changed my life for the better. - 16890

Tony Evans' Evang-elastic Grace

By Daniel LaLond Jr.

Have you ever heard of the action figure Stretch Armstrong? Stretch was a popular 70's toy superhero made of a gel-like substance. Though he was a mere foot tall Stretch Armstrong could still be wrenched and pulled far beyond his proper shape.

Stretching a toy beyond its intended shape is one thing, but doing the same with foundational, biblical doctrines is dangerous. You see, when misinformed Christian teachers stretch the gospel doctrine of grace beyond biblical boundaries the theological Stretch Armstrong of antinomianism raises its misshapen head. Martin Luther originated the term "antinomianism" to describe grace-stretching teaching. In this regard A. W. Tozer wrote:

The advocates of antinomianism in our times deserve our respect for at least one thing: their motive is good. Their error springs from their very eagerness to magnify grace and exalt the freedom of the gospel. They start right, but allow themselves to be carried beyond what is written by a slavish adherence to undisciplined logic. It is always dangerous to isolate a truth and then press it to its limit without regard to other truths (Paths To Power).

Antinomian teachers today abound. They are in every alleged Christian bookstore, on every radio station and occupy churches and pulpits in every city. As in Martin Luther's time, they twist and misinterpret scriptural grace so that obeying Christ is lowered to only a suggestion. Even a "Christian" who is incestuous or murderous will be ushered into eternal paradise. We should obey reasons the antinomian, but obedience isn't essential to enter heaven. Consider the celebrated Tony Evans' antinomian notions:

You could also substitute other sins into this formula, such as homosexuality Christians may be performing in these unacceptable ways, but that's not who they are. It's an identity issue (Free At Last, p. 28).

Committed Christians may fall into sin, but a carnal Christian bathes in it. He has the mindset, motivation and methodology of sin...First of all, the carnal Christian is a genuine Christian. He has received Christ as Savior, but refuses to submit to Him and serve Him as Lord. Christ is not allowed to occupy the throne of a carnal life. It is possible to be on your way to heaven but be of no earthly good because you compromise your faith (Booklet: The Carnal Christian).

In this way antinomian theologians distort the scriptures and the gospel to fit their stretchy systems. "Once saved, always saved," they promise. "Carnal? Sexually immoral? Don't worry," they quip, "eternal salvation is not at stake." The popular notion that Christians are accepted in Christ by grace while engaging in disobedience to Christ in spite of grace screams, "Antinomianism!"

From Satan's promise: "ye shall not surely die" in Genesis chapter 3 to the false prophets who declared "Peace, peace" to sinners in Jeremiah 6:14 - antinomian promises deceived the unrepentant. And from Paul's warning about using liberty as an "occasion to the flesh" to those who changed "the grace of our God into lasciviousness" in the book of Jude - antinomianism distorted the gospel. And from James' "faith without works" to the condemned doctrines of the Baalamites and Jezebel in Revelation chapter 2, the scriptures wail like a siren against antinomianism. On the topic John Wesley warned:

Beware of Antinomianism this may steal upon you in a thousand forms, so that you cannot be too watchful against it. Take heed of everything, whether in principle or practice, which has any tendency thereto. Even that great truth, that 'Christ is the end of the law,' may betray us into it, if we do not consider that he has adopted every point of the moral law, and grafted it into the law of love (Wesley: A Plain Account of Christian Perfection, p. 52).

Today's evangelical Christian scene is replete with preaches who seem to have a zeal for God, but sadly, their zeal is not according to understanding. They howl, "Carnal? Don't worry your salvation is assured!" "Saved by works," they sneer, if some servant of the Lord insists that in order to be saved all must "pursue holiness because without it no one will see the Lord" (Heb 12:14). This, the lettered elite of modern, evangelical Christianity do to the exposing of their vibrant, antinomian colors. - 16890

By Sonja Schuyler

Max International's Dr Robert H. Keller MD, MS, FACP, has been named as one of the world's 2,000 Outstanding Scientists of the 21st Century. Dr Keller has served on the scientific review panels for the National Institutes of Health and the VA.

The Consumers Research Council has named Dr. Keller one of America's Top Physicians in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 in the fields of Internal Medicine, Immunology and Hematology. Dr. Keller has served on the faculties of the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, the University of Wisconsin and the Medical College of Wisconsin (Marquette Univ.) Dr Keller has published more than 100 original articles in various scientific and medical journals. He has been awarded several patents.

After many years of research, Dr Keller formulated MaxGXL. Glutathione is the MOST POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT...not a juice or a berry. MaxGXL increases your body's ability to produce glutathione by up to 292%. MaxGXL was awarded a composition patent which is normally reserved for pharmaceuticals. Learn more and order MaxGXL

Increasing your glutathione level will naturally increase your energy, strengthen your immune system and detoxify your body. The great news about glutathione is that regardless of the type of free radical, glutathione has the ability to properly match up and neutralize it, thus increasing cellular protection and function.

Simply put, glutathione (GSH) is the body's master antioxidant. MaxGXL stimulates the body's production of glutathione. This will compensate for the body's accelerated use of it, strengthening your natural defenses, decreasing your risk of illness, and guarding against the effects of the body's aging process. Learn more and order MaxGXL

Very soon the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells.

Dr. John Nelson, the 159th President of the American Medical Association, said "This product (MaxGXL), in my opinion, represents the single most important breakthrough in health that I will witness in my lifetime. This product will revolutionize, change and transform the practice of medicine worldwide". - 16890

Since then i never looked back. If you want to change your life, you need to change something.

What would you do if you could change your life right now? Go on holiday? Go shopping? Sounds great, doesn't it. Wake up in the morning, work a few hours from your laptop in the living room, then call it your day. This could soon be a reality. Don't wait another day to enjoy life with your family.

Small Business Credit Cards for Canadians

By Dewey Finn

Small business credit cards were designed to help those families and individuals that often have difficulty getting credit lines, since they own their own business. You would think that owning a small business would spark some interest, rather these people, like those will bad credit are considered risky candidates for credit lines. In this article, we are going to review some of the Canadian small business credit cards, what they offer and why some cards are not your best options.

Why do you need a business credit card? What is the purpose of having a major credit card? Can I control my spending if I apply for a major credit card? Notice this piece started out with questions, which I feel are three of the most important question anyone should ask, seeking a credit card. If you do not ask these questions before a applying for a credit card, guess what you will be saying later. Why did I apply for a credit card? What was my purpose? I wish I could have controlled my spending. This may or may not happen, but if you are searching for a credit card, you may want to ask your self-first, why you need a credit card. YES or NO the answer is clear you need to apply for a business credit card to keep things straight.

Balance Transfer cards offer fixed rates for the endurance of the 'balance, and for the balance transfers made sometimes up to six months of the cards membership. The annual fees on few of these cards for the standard cardholder. This applies also to additional cards, 'unless you are the cardholder' that qualifies for the "Business Charge Card Product." In this case, your annual fees are reduced for the standard cards. Of course, they present a slick by offering the cards to small business owners for the first year, free. You must have good credit ratings to apply for this card. Otherwise, the fees may increase, if you are able to get the card.

The Business Network has no financial charges, with no pre-set limits for spending, and the first year the card is free. The annual percentage rates are free for the Additional cards also. The company will send you a monthly 'expense management report' as well as offering 'online account management. Again, you must have good credit to qualify for the Business Gold type cards.

The Platinum Business Cards from companies like American Express have no annual fees, and "pay over time" plus 0% APR on all purchases made on the card plus the balance transfer. The card is good for small business owners that have good credit.

Some Canadian Small Business Credit Cards offer rebates and enable you to earn money back on eligible purchases on the credit card. The cards have a 'built-in smart chip for Internet security,' and have no limits on the cash rebates. This card qualifies small business owners with good credit.

Let's stop and review the cards shortly to see which cards are best for you? I'm considering the last card on the list, since some of the Business Cards offer cash back rewards, and does not appear to have an annual fee. However, I would read the Terms & Conditions, since it might state in the agreement that an annual fee will apply after the first year. You want to know what the fee is on this card. The cards that promote annual fees are cards you want to be careful of when applying, since some have hidden stipulations and fees. The "Built-in Smart chip for Internet Security is also appealing, since this is not always offered with credit cards, and the security is worth paying an annual fee, since you are protected. NOTE: be sure to look in the Terms & Agreements, searching for Fraud Protection. Since the card providers put a chip on the card of course you are protected more so if you didn't have the chip; still you want to know what the fees if any are if the card is lost or stolen. There should not be any fees; however, some card providers will do their best to get money.

The three preceding ideas for cards may be of some value, however, the offers do not seem appealing since you have high interest rates possibly after the Introductory, and as well, you have annual fees with no rewards. - 16890

How Will You Know You've Reached Your Goals?

By Mr WebbyFied

A lot of us tend to start out in the direction of goals, never quite knowing exactly what it is that we want, and how we'll know once we have it.

That seems a little reckless don't you think? You wouldn't drive somewhere with no destination, would you? Is that even possible? Driving somewhere, and not driving anywhere? You would just wander until the gas tank ran on empty, or until you wound up somewhere close to what you had in mind, but not quite it.

That is just like in life, and just like in business.

If you have no idea where it is that you're heading you probably aren't getting anywhere. You must give yourself a target to shoot for. You have to know that you want what it is that you want because it will allow you to spend time with your children, and to go on vacation with your family whenever you want, not because you just want to "be happy".

You need to have that future, that destination, created so you can actually get there eventually.

It might sound nuts, but it makes perfect sense. If you don't have a clear idea in mind, how will you know if the tasks you are doing every day are moving you towards, or away from your vision?

You can not.

You can not possibly expect to create the life you desire if you have no idea what that life is.

Don't worry if you don't have an exact blueprint of how you're going to get there at this point. You just need a picture of that final objective that will keep you moving in that direction and not so many others at once.

What should that picture look like?

It is all up to you, and only you. You know what pushes your buttons and what drives you to get things done, so you have to decide how that picture appears to you. There are some pointers you will want to keep in mind when making that image.

You first have to get to the essence of your goal. Discover why it is that you desire what you want. The more specific you get, the better.

After that, with you goal in mind, start asking yourself how you will know you have reached your goal. You might see yourself checking your bank statement that has grown exponentially, or you see yourself taking a trip in a private jet with the kids and wife. Whatever this image is, see it vividly.

If you do just these two steps you will achieve more than you ever thought you could. Instead of moving in a million directions at once, you will force all of that energy towards one objective.

Discover The Lost Art Of Pre-Selling That Makes Sales A Breeze

By Kylon Trower

The art of persuading your customers is what they want is called pre-selling. The subtle thought that they may lose out if they don't buy your stuff. Whatever your
stuff happens to be.

One aspect of pre-selling is actually selling yourself before you sell your product. By doing this, you help your customer feel good about you and become emotionally bonded with you on some level.

Pre-selling is also the art of building up anticipation. If a friend told you his sales have increased 300% by "some new internet marketing strategy" but never told you what that strategy was you'd be begging to find out what it is? You'd really be chomping at the bit if you had an internet business and were looking to increase your sales too, right?

Mention any benefit that gets your prospects attention without revealing the solution is a great way to control your prospects next action. Once you roll out the solution they will grab it without hesitation.

There are many ways to pre-sell and it's not just about uncovering your product bit by bit. You can actually give away an entire e-book and use it to pre-sell for another
higher ticket item. The e-book was used to pre-sell and gain trust. This is also an example of the law of reciprocity at work.

You can also pre-sell by including a snippet or two from your e-book and mentioning some of the benefits and solutions. This will also position you as an expert as well.

At the end of the day, its really about giving massive use value to people before you ask them to buy something from you. If you can help people to solve their problems, they will often be very willing to buy products from you over and over again. - 16890

How To Use Article Directories To Find Good JV Partners

By Stu McLaren

The other day a person asked me a very important question. The guy was looking to establish a joint venture partnership with other fellows, he had found on article directories but he was a bit confused because on article directories you can find all sorts of people and not all of them are worth dealing with. So, this article is the response to his question how to find suitable partners on article directories.

He was right to be cautious. The key to successfully dealing with people on article directories is to create your own filtering rules, which can help you sort out the people who you think are worth working with from the people who aren't. As a rule, there are a couple of factors I take into consideration when choosing partners that way. First, does the message of the person send good vibes or not? Second, is he or she suitable for a long-term partner?

Long-term cooperation is what interests me. I don't look for short relationships because I hate when we are together for a few weeks and then everything is over. Long-term cooperation is what matters for me most. Besides, I always dig to see if the people, who I am considering as potential partners have experience - i.e. if they have had past partnerships and if they did - how was it? I sometimes even get in touch with former partners of the people I am interested in doing business with.

For instance, not long ago a very popular marketer got in touch with us and asked us to perform affiliate management for them. Right after he contacted us, I called a person I knew had dealt with them in the past and asked him about his experience with the famous guy. The person I called told me many things and this was really useful for me.

Another factor to take into consideration is how they market to their clients. Subscribe for their list and see for yourself. The way they communicate with their list tells a lot. You might love their list, or you might hate it - the feeling is precious anyway.

Also, I can offer one more idea. Well, maybe it goes too far but if you want to make a reliable test, become a customer of your potential partner. The experience as a customer is valuable because it tells you a lot about the people whom you are dealing with.

A good way to see a potential JV's conversion is to join their affiliate program because you can see exactly how many people you send to their website and how many people buy. So you could see if it is a good selling product just by becoming an affiliate of them and then marketing their own product. - 16890

Do You Want To Be A Super Affiliate

By Anson Hall

Super affiliates are also ordinary people. However, the difference between a super affiliate and an average affiliate is that the former can make a lot more sales. This means that they can make a lot more money. To this end you may also want to become a super affiliate.

Everyone can become a super affiliate. This is very true. And this is never a scam. Some people may think that it is a scam. It is mainly because they are not working hard enough. Let us learn how a super affiliate works!

You will certainly need to search for a product to promote. This will probably be the first step after you have joined an affiliate program. You have to choose a problem which you love to promote. You need to have the passion otherwise it will not be easy for you to promote the product.

You will also need to ask yourself how you should promote the products or services. The answer is your own affiliate site. Yes, it is a must for you to start and run your own site. The site will become an effective platform for you to promote the product and services.

Some marketers will ask how many websites they should start. There is no definite answer to this question. Some marketers will start 50 websites in order to promote one single product. You may also try to do that. Yet, as a rule of thumb, you should at least create one website for every niche you choose.

There is no doubt that building your own list will help you to promote your affiliate products. As a matter of fact, super affiliate will generate a lot of sales using the list. You will be sending useful information to your subscribers in order to keep them reading your newsletter. You will also promote the products using the newsletter from time to time.

You should try to spend some time to contact with the visitors. A lot of marketers will not do that. However, you should try to make the visitors become loyal visitors. They may not purchase when they visit your site at the first time. However, they may purchase when they revisit your site. As a result, you should read and reply the emails of the visitors in order to encourage them to revisit your site.

Another thing super affiliate will do is to offer some free bonus to visitors who purchase. For example, if you are promoting some wedding related products, you may offer free design services for an online wedding invitation. This will help to courage the visitors to purchase. - 16890

Franchise Growth is Key when Selecting a Franchise

By Rick Bisio

There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting the appropriate franchise opportunity. Not only do you want the franchise to be a right fit for you - you need as well to work with a franchisor that will be around for years.

How can you determine if a franchise system is healthy? In the franchise book, The Educated Franchisee we believe in sharing knowledge. A little franchise education could be valuable in this area.

One fundamental measure is the system's pace of franchise growth.

Too Fast: Quick franchise growth may seem like a good thing at first but it is possible for a system to develop too fast. It is important to be sure the franchisor has the people and systems in place to exhaustively supervise your training and on-going support. For example, if a system of 50 franchisees adds 30 additional franchisees in a year, the rate of franchise growth may be too fast.

Too Slow: If franchise growth is slow there could also be a problem. Why isn't the franchise attracting new people? Possibly there are concerns with the business model - problems that make it difficult for existing franchisees to succeed. When potential franchisees do 'validation calls' they may hear about problems and decide to look elsewhere for a business. Or perhaps the franchisor doesn't have the right staff and has to limit franchise growth. Either way, a lack of new franchisees may be a sign of an unhealthy franchise system.

Just Right: regular franchise growth over time is an indicator of good management and a healthy system. One way to gauge steady franchise growth is to determine the pace at which the franchise grew each year both in absolute and percent terms. To find this data for the past three years you can look in the Franchise Disclosure Document under Item 20 - the List of Outlets. All the data you need regarding franchise growth will be there for you in a clear, easy to understand format.

Rule of Thumb for Most Franchises: As a rule of thumb for medium-sized franchisors, the number of franchisees brought per year should be between 10% and 35% of the total number of franchisees. For example, a company with 100 franchisees should possess the infrastructure to add up to 35 new franchisees in the coming year.

Rule of Thumb for Large and Small Franchises: This formula doesn't work for very large or very small companies, however, so when analyzing behemoth or boutique franchise systems consider the ratio of operational support personnel compared to new franchisees. A ratio of one support person for every 10-20 new franchisees tells you that new franchisees are likely getting the preparation and support they need to succeed.

Talk to Franchisees: But don't assume! It is decisive that you talk to existing franchisees. Find out about the training they had initially and what they receive in terms of on-going support. Do they find the staff to be knowledgeable? Responsive? Does the franchisee feel comfortable calling on them for help? Pay particular attention to the information you glean from new franchisees. Your experience will most closely reflect theirs.

Meet the Support Staff: Generally, a good franchise investigation ends with a visit to the franchisor's headquarters to get last queries answered and meet the staff face-to-face. Spend extra time with the support staff. Make certain you are comfortable with their experience, competence, style, and ability to communicate, since you will have to work well with them and trust their advice on an on-going basis.

There are many things to think about when researching a franchise business that will meet your needs, but it doesn't matter how much you like the business if the franchisor isn't viable. Collect the franchise information you need and be certain the system you choose is growing and has a good number of satisfied franchisees. Franchise growth is a key part of your due diligence. Only a healthy franchise opportunity can support your long-term growth and success. - 16890

Writing For Cash

By Rob Metras

There are not a lot of people who can pass an opportunity to make extra money. The Internet offers plenty of chances to up your income. Writing articles on demand can be one of those. Anyone with a computer and the minimum of writing skills can do it.

It is not easy to find the right job right away, sometimes it can take a while to find something that fits what you are looking for. However, once you've found that perfect job for you - it can be an awesome part-time opportunity. You have the power to choose what you want to do and when you want to do it. There may be some restrictions involved in your work, but they are usually minimal.

The job that seems like the perfect fit in the beginning may not stay that way for long. Chances are, you're going to be ready to move on to bigger and better things that pay more money and provide more of a challange.

The most important thing when you start your part-time job is flexibility. Simply put, you have to be willing to do whatever you are asked to do. You want to portray yourself as dependable, available, and easy to get along with. Starting with the easier jobs will help you to develop skills that you will need to excel in the field of writing.

After you've worked at it for a while, and your skills have improved, you will be able to be more selective in the articles you choose to write. It is important not to get in over your head by taking on a task that you are not prepared to complete. It is so very important to establish this bond of trust with your customers from the beginning. A good relationship with your clientele is something that is built over time, there is no quick fix for a situation like this.

It is important to remain consistent with your quality of writing as well as your good work ethic. The ladder is hard to climb, but being on top is no picnic, either. It is crucial that you maintain the level of work that your customers have grown to expect from you, or they may lose faith in your work and find a new writer to take your place.

You can eventually build your own business where you offer writing skills to anyone who needs good content written. If you already have a good reputation, writing articles can be a good move. Plus, it gives you complete control over what you do and when you do it, and with time you can have a real customer base for your articles. You may even want to move on to taking copywriting assignments.

Getting your clients to trust your work is not an easy task, but it is obtainable. Before you know it, you can be working from the comfort of your own home, making your own schedule, and enjoying the freedom of being your own boss. - 16890

Google Adwords: The Basics

By Don Bethune

Those who are somewhat familiar with pay-per-click advertisements may know a little bit about Google Adwords. What you may not know is how the program works and how it could prove to be very beneficial to your business. So how does it work?

Here is the basic of Googleas Adword program. First the site owner will choose keywords that are related to their site, and then when a user does a search on that same word, it flags the site owneras advertisement to show on the results page.

Launched in 2000, Google AdWords aims to create a better experience for advertisers by taking the work out of determining a target audience for the client. Matching keywords to corresponding topics, AdWords clients can expect their text-based links to appear in appropriate Google searches, and other popular search sites that are partnered with Google.

Today, Adwords is optimized by Googleas Adsense program. With Adsense, site owners are allowed to display Googleas ads that are geared toward the site owneras content. By doing this Adsense users can earn revenue from the ad placements. This offers advertisers to reach an even larger audience.

Why is Google Adwords popular among advertisers? It could be that it is a complex method of matching their specific keywords to their targeted audience. It also could be the absence of a flat advertising fee. Instead, they bid on their campaigns and Google ranks them according to their bid.

Adwords can be a great tool to benefit websites. The increase of popularity and website traffic is just to name a few. Advertisers also have the ability to track their ad campaigns progress and activity by checking how many times the ad has been shown and clicked on.

Google Adwords is definitely a different method of advertising, but a great asset to those who need to start an ad campaign for there site. Advertisers can set the price of their campaign according to their budget by setting a minimum and maximum price for the ads, as long as it is within Googleas limits. This makes advertising on a budget easy.

If you are still unsure of Google Adwords, the best thing to do is try it. Advertisers can create and start a campaign for as low as $10. This is really low compared to other advertisement programs and packages that will reach the same amount of users. Try it out and track your sites traffic to know if it is right for you. - 16890

Get Your Site Ranked By Website Review Sites

By Stuart M.Russell

There are times when you need to find something relevant, appealing and interesting to you, without much effort. The best places to achieve this are website review sites. These website reviewers go through different websites to evaluate what each offers to their visitors and give them a suitable ranking. Depending on the type of website, the reviewing panel will look at various aspects according to specified standards before providing a rating.

They find out if the site is easy to navigate, if the content is relevant to what the site is about, any interesting features available in the site etc.

Website review sites are categorised somewhat broadly, so they are quite general in display. When you visit a website review site, you'll see that if the category is computers and electronics, everything from computer hard discs to tutorials are listed under it.

All website review sites don't have the same code for standards and each review site will set forward specific criteria for each type of website. One website selling ebooks won't be rated in comparison to a site offering free photoshop tutorials.

However, there are some common standards followed by all review sites, namely, how easy it is to navigate, the relevancy of the content and the appealing features, such as animations. Sometimes, how often a site updates its content may also be considered.

Getting a website reviewed, evaluated and rated is a great way to gain better exposure in the web marketing world and get a trustworthy reputation. Websites with higher ranking are found more easily on the search engines, so having a review site rate your own website will increase your popularity and web traffic. Also, since the judgment is impartial, your credibility as a genuine website is increased with such a rating.

By getting a website reviewed by an authoritative group and having it ranked in a place such as a website reviewing site also lets the internet surfer find it more easily. Information about the various reviewed sites are also easily available in these sites, so by visiting a website review site before trying out anything on a specific site, you'll find out if it's worth your time and effort to get involved. This is especially true when you want to buy and sell online.

Some website review sites provide their services free of charge, while others require you to make an advanced payment to get your site reviewed. There are some personal blogs contributing to the site reviewing process, but these are often biased and fail to mention certain faulty aspects. - 16890

Youth Basketball Coaching

By Gary Pearson

Are you looking for a new hobby? Perhaps you would be interest in something that enriches the lives of others. This is what I think about coaching youth basketball. There is really nothing like working with young people to help them build their self-esteem and get good exercise too.

Even if you have no training or history when it comes to coaching basketball you can still do this. There are many charity groups who will help give you a hand. All you need is a few hours a week and a patient attitude with kids and you will do great.

The great thing about youth basketball coaching is you can, with very little experience or background in sports, be the one to keep kids away from bad or dangerous influences in their lives. It is a scary world out there, what with crime, drugs, and all manner of other temptations which plague our youth today. Why, when I was a kid, we did not even know what drugs were. But anyway, using youth basketball coaching - especially when working with a good, well organized community center - you can help kids to say no to crime, drugs, and any other dangerous or destructive influences in their lives. You have to see it to believe it. The difference it makes is amazing.

A few of the kids we have coached have told us there stories, and I honestly believe that if they hadn't got involved with basketball they may likely be in jail or dead. For them, basketball becomes like an obsession that fills in the gaps in their lives. If they were to continue with the drugs or the crime then they know they would miss out on their favorite game, so they quit doing the illegal stuff and concentrate on basketball instead.

Even if you know nothing about basketball there is still no reason for you to not become a youth basketball coach. Simply buy or rent some self-teaching videos and books, and see if your local community centre offers any training programs. In no time you will be out there helping make a positive influence on some kid's lives. Believe me, it's well worth giving up a few nights in front of the TV. - 16890

Web Design 101 for Businesses

By Dirk den Besten

Nowadays if you want to stay ahead of the completion you cannot lack in your web presence. A professional designed website can keep you ahead if the competition. It can make the customer aware of serving the client's needs.

More and more potential clientele is turning to the Internet in order to help them in their decision-making process and to acquire more information on goods and services. This online information source is here to stay and Web Design companies cannot take no notice of the potential of the ever-increasing numbers of surfers.

Some of the factors that are essential for maintaining a good website is that the site is usable with multiple browsers and that the site is build with valid CSS codes and proper HTML codes. Nothing will make a customer leave faster than a slow loading site with errors.

A Web Design company should be challenged when you decide to get a Website done for your business. Your Website is the first component that makes an impression on potential clientele and a good first impression is of course the best impression.

Web Design companies should make certain that your Website obey the rules mentioned earlier. These factors are the difference between professionally looking sites or poor designed websites. There is little value in a Web Design Company making lofty claims when they don't understand the value of a professional first impression.

You may be wanting an online presence or maybe seeking more business for your firm - whatever it be your objective, the success or failure of your endeavor is determined by the quality that your Website possesses.

Although it is difficult to successfully achieve the build of an efficient and attractive website. It is up to you as a business owner to find a web design company that is willing to take up the challenge It is critical that they understand your business requirements.

According to Forrester Research, a poorly Designed Web site is likely to result in a loss of about 50% of possible repeat visits because of the negative impression received initially. Hence, it is better to lose in your purse strings and instead of getting your Website Design by an employee.

You should look for Professional Web Designers for your online success. These Web Design companies make sure to have an extended discussion with their clients in order to get a good picture of their needs in terms of business objectives, aesthetic preferences and customer profiles. This is done even before any work is commenced on the technical side.

Do make sure that the web design company you've selected can provide additional services like Search Engine Marketing and quick support. Will it be easy for them to quickly implement changes to your website so that you are always up-to-date with future web developments? Expanding your online business is more than updating a few online pages; the web design company of your choice should realize this.

The goal is to ensure that once you set up an online presence, it is brought to the attention of the online surfers. This way, you can immediately get to the promotion of your newly setup online business. For this, it is necessary to get Professional marketing assistance from your Web site developer - if he is capable of providing that service. All this will ensure that your much-cherished dream of tapping the huge potential that the Internet offers will not be nipped in the bud. - 16890

The Article Marketing Traffic Formula Revealed

By Kylon Trower

Websites that house free articles are called article directories. These directories are great sources for authors to use to promote their articles and get their content exposed. The author will usually put some kind of contact information at the bottom of the article for those interested in finding out more to contact them.

Because we know that a lack of credibility is one of the main reasons people don't buy online, articles will eliminate that altogether. Your expertise is assumed once you become an author and put your thoughts on a subject in black and white. The power of the written word will result in a greater level of trust which in turn will turn into sales.

Writing article may seem like a daunting task at first but there are ways around this obstacle. There are plenty of qualified people you can find online to write articles for you. Just do a Google search for "article writers" and you'll be surprised at the resources instantly made available to you. Though this may cost you up front, you will reap great benefits by having properly written articles for your business.

et me give you a quick example, let's say you are a realtor and want to generate more home sales in your local area. You write a few articles on the subject and provide great content for the reader. Once the reader gets to the bottom of you article they have an option. They can click away, visit your website or contact you directly. Imagine the impact if just one reader results in a several thousand dollar home sale for your business, that's powerful stuff.

Another great advantage of article writing is that by submitting your article to the directories you gain exposure to other accounting related websites. These sites may pick up your article to use as content on their sites. In order to do that, they must use your byline and contact information which gives you even more free exposure.

In order to really get the most bang for your buck, I recommend using a couple tools to get you r articles out there even faster. By using article submission software or an article submission service, you can guarantee that you will get maximum exposure for your articles and increase your overall profitability. So now that you have the skinny on article writing, go ahead and get to work. - 16890

Review about the Human Touch HT 7120 Massage Chair Recliner

By Steve Esquire

We are going to take a in depth look at the HT-7120 massage chair recliner. The HT 7120 is made by the Human Touch Company. They are based out of Long Beach, CA. We are going to look at the best features and functions of this luxury lounger. We will also touch on the warranty coverage. Here is our review of the HT-7120 massage chair recliner.

We are first always concerned with the warranty of massage chairs. These are big ticket items and you want to be sure that you have adequate protection from the possibility of problems down the road. We always advise buying your chair from the top manufacturers because there are many cheap imports that promise the world and then just do not deliver. Human Touch is one of the best companies in the industry and has national distribution.

What is the warranty coverage of the HT 7120? Human Touch covers this model with 3 years on the structure of the chair. They cover parts for 1 year and you get 90 days labor. Human Touch offers in home technician service, but this comes at additional expense. Honestly, the warranty for this model is quite short when compared with others in this category. We are somewhat surprised with the coverage of this model, since our experience is it is fairly problem-free. On the customer service side, they are competent and turn around on issues if relatively quick.

The HT-7120 comes with a unique leg rest with a calf massager. The leg rest has two sides. One side containes the calf massager and the other is a leg rest. When the massage chair is not in use, then the chair looks like a leg rest for a normal recliner. When you want a calf massage, then simply flip the leg rest to reveal the calf massager. This unique feature helps to disguise your massage chair as a regular recliner.

This recliner comes with a full body stretch mode. The airbags in the leg rest ottoman will energize to squeeze the legs to hold them. The chair back will then start to slowly recline. As the chair back reclines, it will gently stretch out the body. This body stretch will bring more blood flow to the spine as it decompresses and rejuvenates your back.

Can you take some heat? The HT-7120 comes equipped with dual lumbar heat. These heating elements are precisely positioned to focus on the lower back to relieve aches, pains and swelling. If you have discomfort in the lumbar area, then let the HT 7120 heat your up and then massage you down.

The HT 7120 comes with 4 manual massages including rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. There is one 15 minute automatic which can be set for the whole back, lower back or upper back. You can further customize the massages using the massage comfort control. The massage comfort control allows you to adjust the intensity of the massage. The massage intensity ranges from soft to firm with 7 levels of adjustment.

This is a beautifully crafted massage recliner. It comes in either black or dark chocolate leather. It has an adjustable head pillow for support. This is an executive looking massage recliner with an oval base which allows the chair to swivel 30 degrees. This an attractive recliner with advanced massage therapy features. This is certainly a massage chair to consider if you are looking for a solid mid range massage recliner. - 16890

What Do You Mean by Virtual Private Server?

By Anand

A Virtual Private Server can be treated as a small dedicated server unit which have its own set of processes and own set of system resources to run your official site or ecommerce site or a web portal in its virtually dedicated web environment. Virtual private servers are best choice for medium business site owners having low budget spending limits and in need of something special like dedicated resources to ensure smoother running of their websites.

Virtual Private Servers are also called as VDS or Virtual Dedicated Server or Master Reseller Servers. Virtual private servers are called as VDS because they works like independent server itself with own dedicated and burstable system resources and on the other hand they are also called as Master Reseller Servers as in VPS ac you can also make sub reseller for web hosting under your small vps ac which is impossible with normal reseller hosting ac.

VPS comes for Linux and Windows both environments in Linux they comes with SSH or Root Access and on windows they come with RDP or Remote Desktop Access. On Linux you have flexibility of the world famous web hosting control panel on VPS called as WHM / cPanel and on other hand in Widows VPS you have choice of Helm and Plesk Control Panels. WHM with cPanel is best one control panel enriched with tons of features if you are looking for Linux VPS and in windows Plesk works much better for you as a best choice.

Now we talk about little bit on concern of the VPS technical specifications normally VPS ac comes with 5GB to 100GB sort of storage capacity along with 400-1000 GB bandwidth per month & 128 to 1gb RAM capacity so you can easily go to google.com and can find out the vps service provider and then can compare their prices and features to get the best vps offer for you as every customer or business person is having own personal technical requirements thus nobody can recommend any standard available offer as a best one as its all depends on what you need thus and that varies person to person thus you can either consult to webmaster for the same that which sort of technical things they are in need of to make your website more better.

VPS are better for you in two cases: 1. Your current shared web hosting provider is warning you for system overloads as normally in shared hosting ac web hosting provider don't allow more than allowed system resources to be eat by your web hosting ac. 2. If you are looking for dedicated server sort of better way to host your website but your budget is smaller than 200-300 USDs a month sort of dedicated servers.

So in this manner VPS are best for you in above both cases as you get better assurance of your web hosting service quality due to dedicated system resources and you spend limited budget compare to high charges of dedicated web hosting servers. - 16890
