Take Some Important Steps and Achieve Your Goals!

By April Ladrey

Setting goals gives you short-term and long-term motivation. Having well thought out goals helps you set focus on the acquisition of required knowledge and helps you to plan and organize your resources and your time so that you can get the best out of your life. The basics of goal setting will involve deciding what you really want to do with your personal life and what short term and long term goals you need to achieve it.

These are just a few points to keep in mind when you begin to set your goals:

1. A very important point is your attitude. Can you tell if it is holding you back? Is it limiting you and keeping you from achieving what you want? When problems arise in your life, how have you handled them? Take a good look at yourself and decide that from now on you will look for solutions rather than excuses.

2. Possessing time management skills is another important attribute you will need to achieve your goals. If you can harness time and use it to your advantage, then you will be able to continually reach goal after goal. Develop this skill now and make it into a daily habit.

3. You may need to gain certain skills or education to be able to reach you goal. This may require getting a degree or certificate in specialized training, or it may just mean you need experience in whatever field you plan on moving up in. Whatever the case, make an outline of what skills and education you will need to reach your goals.

4. Let your family and friends know what your goals are. You need not tell everyone, but you will have to tell those closest to you how achieving your goals will effect them. Is it more time at the gym, the office, or the library? Tell them and ask them for their support. You will be amazed at how helpful this can be.

5. You will next need a plan of action. Action is the most important step in achieving your goals, but you cannot neglect any of the above mentioned points. Take your goal and split it into time frames moving from a plan set in years to a plan set in weeks. This will be your guide as you reach your weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly goals. Think what you could achieve just by sticking to your plan!

Taking action is now possible once you get through the above steps. You can now use your plan as your agenda for setting up to-do lists. You should have a daily and weekly list and consistently make sure you are moving toward your goal. If you get off track, then rearrange your steps as needed. If you make this into a habit you can honestly achieve any goal you can imagine! - 16890

Swipe File Secrets

By John Anghelache

Gary Halbert was both a great copywriter and a great teacher of the art. He had a knack for making the process of creating great ads simple.

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

What should you do?

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

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

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

Easy does it best.

Gary also taught that you should do the same thing when writing ads. Especially if you're in a hurry and need to bang out an ad... website letter... or whatever fast.

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

You do not have to become a great copywriter to swipe. Learn to do it the right way and a lot of obstacles to creating advertising that works will disappear.

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

** Writer's block will no longer exist. You'll know where to start and ad. You'll no longer be figuring out what to say. Because the swipe ads give you all that information.

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

** The ads you write could be three times more responsive. Think about it. You are essentially modeling success. When you do that success is on your side.

Don't even think about writing another ad before you have a swipe at your side. - 16890

White Collar Rears

By James Gilbert Pynn

The dull hum of florescent lights, the buzz of a computer, the squeak of an office chair, and the smell of burnt coffee. Welcome to work. For a concept that is less than 150 years old, the office has managed to become perhaps the single best qualifier for what we consider white-collar employment. Though a staunch capitalist would claim the office started with the ancient Roman officium most archaeological evidence suggests these ancient offices were a dignitary's administrative staff and collaborators and wee often mobile.

The modern office " in all its goldbricking glory " did not take shape until the beginning of the 1860s. As the Industrial Revolution was driving more and more people into the cities, and as companies grew is staff, it became necessary to group people into a common room. With thirty people gathered to pour their blood, sweat, and tears into the business at hand, it became essential to organize the space accordingly and get the people behind desks and in chairs.

Once in their chairs, it became a monumental task to keep their rear ends firmly planted. The thinking was a good office worker is one that stays put. The evolution of office chairs, therefore, is a never-ending quest to keep people working and at their desks. More padding, swivels, armrests " the obsession with ergonomics, in can be argued, had little to do with altruism and everything to with getting-rich-ism.

As anyone who has had the displeasure of sitting on a wooden chair for half an hour can attest to, sitting in a modern office chair is a dream come true. And as any company that has been sued for repetitive-strain injuries can attest " investing in a $300 chair makes great economic sense when faced with a multi-million dollar lawsuit. And so a new market for office furniture was born.

This is how office chairs become a symbol of a persons station in the white-collar world. Sitting on a cloth-covered swivel chair? Probable salary range: $30,000. Sitting on a Corinthian leather wing back with built-in massage hands? Probable salary range: whatever you want to pay yourself. And though the office does not seem to have an end in sight, the politics of where you park your rear continue. How the ancient Romans would be proud. - 16890

Grow Your Business By Using A Prospecting Firm

By Terry Stanfield

Tough economic times causes anyone to look more closely at the bottom line and how any resources can be changed to improve profits. A prospecting company can be one such resource. This article will explain why you will want to look at a prospecting company to gain more sales at a lower cost.

An outbound prospecting company focus on the activity most people hate. One of the hardest jobs for any salesperson is to do cold calling. Using prospecting companies can allow your salespeople to focus on current customers and their needs so that business can increase both with current customers and with new customers.

Using prospecting companies can allow you to spend less time on the phone with uninterested customers. You can focus yourself on those activities which help grow your business.

You are able to focus your valuable time prospecting the individuals who are interested in your business. This lowers your cost in finding new clients because you do not have to deal with the tedious process of identifying interested individuals.

Most businesses reduce their expenditures during a recession. You can choose to spend less money but use an outbound telemarketing company because this is a fast and inexpensive way for you to develop leads, increasing sales in your company.

This tough economy dictates that you must be extremely attentive to how you spend your marketing dollars. Using an outbound telemarketing company can allow you to track your dollars closely and help you increase sales while spending the amount of money available in your marketing budget.

Businesses or individuals often are more receptive to ways to save money during a recession. an outbound prospecting company can have greater success due to this cost consciousness during this tough economy than during an economic boom.

Many outbound telemarketing companies have telephone automation systems that normal businesses do not have. This allows them to touch sometimes five to six times as many prospects as your salespeople do.

Studies have been done showing that those companies who maintained and increased marketing during a recession enjoyed an explosion of natural growth well beyond those which reduced expenditures. Using prospecting companies will put you in this path of great natural growth because prospects are aware of what you have to offer.

You can use a prospecting company as part of your marketing strategy and allocate your dollars to the most productive activities. If you find that the prospecting company is more effective than advertising, you can reallocate marketing dollars to the prospecting company which lowers your cost per new client. Cost per client is an important measure to see that you can grow new business in an efficient manner. An outbound telemarketing company offers you a way to test if you can lower that cost per client while still increasing sales|business|the bottom line. - 16890

How Am I Going To Retire?

By Matt Hellstrom

There is a popular ad on TV recently showing people carrying around a big orange number - apparently to represent the amount of money that particular person has to have saved in order to retire with the same kind of lifestyle that they lead currently. I found myself getting angrier and angrier every time I saw that ad, and I really didn't know why.

Then I figured it out. It wasn't exactly anger that I was feeling, it was more of a feeling of stress or despair. And I guess that's probably the whole idea. My wife told me that that's how that's the most effective type of advertising: they make you feel desperate. Well it sure worked with me. However, I don't think the solution they offered gave me any hope, personally.

Their solution is to sign up with them and they'll help you save and invest properly to end up at the "magic number". That might work for someone just entering the workforce, or even someone in their thirties, but I'm 52 years old. I have very little savings, and in my opinion not a lot of hope to increase that to the one or two million dollars that most of those numbers in the ad represented, even if I hired the best financial mind in the world to help me make decisions.

So what do we do? As far as I'm concerned, I'm working at creating a residual type of income that will flow into my bank account for the rest of my life. I think this is a good plan for most boomers, especially those that find themselves in a similar situation as I have. How do we go about doing that? Here are six ways that I can think of.

1. Get a reverse mortgage on your house. If you've got substantial equity in your home, you can refinance it with a reverse mortgage and take out a lump sum or monthly payments until the day you die.

2. How about a part-time job? If you don't need a lot of extra money because you've got some savings, a pension, and/or social security, maybe a part-time job will be enough to make retirement work for you.

3. You can purchase a franchise. There are all kinds of businesses out there if you're willing to put up the capital to get started. Some are very expensive, and some aren't. Do some research, this might be a great option.

4. Start a traditional home business. Maybe there is something you're good at and you can market that skill. It can be building something, making something, or even offering a service, such as bookkeeping. You can sell your product or service on Craig's List or ebay.

5. An internet-based business. There are tons of merchants who pay affiliates to promote their products and then pay a commission on any sales that are made from those promotions. You don't need to have and inventory, you don't even talk to the customer, you just send them to the merchants website. This is a good option, because it frees up your time as it's residual income that keeps coming in month after month.

6. You could start a network marketing business.I really like this idea because it offers two types of income - residual and leveraged. By residual income I mean income that comes in every month, whether you work or not. Most network marketing companies have consummable products that the customer buys every month. Leveraged income comes when you sign up a distributor underneath you. Then every time that person makes a sale, you get a piece of their pie.

These are just a few suggestions on how baby boomers can retire with a good income. I encourage you to do some research, and figure out what works for you. - 16890

How To Growing Your Business Frugally

By C. J. Hulbert

During the tough times any business is facing currently, it is necessary to see where budget cuts can be made. Cutting sales and marketing is detrimental to the growth of the business but finding lower cost alternatives to replace expensive current activities can help the business. This article will explain why a prospecting company can be one such lower cost alternative.

Prospecting companies focus on the activity most people hate. One of the hardest jobs for any salesperson is to do outbound telemarketing. Using a prospecting firm can allow your salespeople to focus on current customers and their needs so that sales can increase both with current customers and with new customers.

Sales are dependent upon the communication of your message to prospects and this occurs through marketing. In this business climate, it is about maximizing your marketing dollars and an outbound telemarketing company is one of the most efficient uses of those dollars to increase sales.

Many businesses do not have a very unstable business pipeline. Using a prospecting firm can keep the sales pipeline full so that more sales can increase as a result of this full pipeline.

One of the first areas of spending any business cuts during a recession is marketing. If you have to cut your marketing spending, you can reallocate dollars to outbound telemarketing and increase your sales at a lower cost to your marketing dollars.

A recession dictates that you must be extremely attentive to how you spend your marketing dollars. Using an outbound telemarketing company can allow you to track your dollars closely and help you increase sales while spending the amount of money available in your marketing budget.

Many businesses and individuals will fail to respond to a prospecting firm over the phone when times are good. A recession makes these people and businesses more receptive to talking with others about how to save money so you can avoid costly mailings and increase sales with a telemarketing campaign.

Companies try to reduce all expenditures during a recession simply to maintain their current business. This offers you the opportunity to build your business by using a prospecting firm because few of your competitors will be attempting to acquire new business.

Studies have been done showing that those companies who maintained and increased marketing during a recession enjoyed an explosion of natural growth well beyond those which reduced expenditures. Using a prospecting firm will put you in this path of great natural growth because prospects are aware of what you have to offer.

Prospecting firms focus on telemarketing and this is an area most salespeople struggle. Using these specialists means that the number of calls can increase with the quality and quantity of prospects greatly increased. If you want to grow sales but at a reasonable cost, you will look closely at how much it costs to get a new client. It is necessary to try different tactics to lower this figure and an outbound telemarketing company is a tactic you can watch and carefully measure. - 16890

SEO and Backlink Building

By Justin Harrison

Ranking well in the search engines for highly competitive phrases takes more than just on-page SEO tactics. It takes backlinks, and lots of them.

A backlink is the technical term for linking a website or blog link to another site. Among all options that a website owner can use to make his website more effective, a small number of top quality backlinks can be far more productive than other tools.

When evaluating links for popularity, search engines like Google, MSN, and Yahoo, look at how often your site is linked to by an outside person. This link is considered a vote for the information you have provided on your site. By linking, it show that someone valued the information on your site. The more links you have, the better your site must be.

When you use the internet for your business, make sure you put as much information that you can about it. This will help people get to know who you are and what you are trying to sell them. And if you are up front, then you will get repeat business.

Having good anchor text in your backlinks is also very important if you want to up your site traffic. You want these links to include your main keywords whenever it is possible to increase your ranks. Now that we have explained the importance of backlinks, let us investigate a few ways to get them.

Qualtiy site content which is unique will be the main reason people will link to your site. You will benefit if your site is different and perhaps even controversial. If people view your site as special they will be more apt to link to it.

When other company's approach you to join your site, allow them to, because this way you not only expose your company to potential customers, you can help other company's as well.

Submitting your written articles to directories will allow them to be reprinted on other sites with a link to you in the Resource Box. Just one article could result in many backlinks. Alternatively, you could try personally contacting your niche sites and offer to write a recurring column. Another option is to arrange a trade system in which each site writes for the other, providing backlinks to each other. - 16890

Wedding Photography Has a Style for You!

By Michael J

Have you ever thought about what style of wedding photography you want in your album?

Sometimes pictures are like art. A picture might make you reflect on your life and your experiences. Likewise, you might also use art to decorate your home and office. These are the things that would make you a perfect candidate for photojournalistic type of photography. You should find someone who will shoot with your tastes in mind.

Look Through Books and Magazines to Find Your Artistic Side. Look for a Photographer Who Emulates Your Synergy.

Gather the photography that you like and show it to the professional that you want to hire. Take time to talk about the styles you like and dislike. Then really ask the photographers some hard hitting questions: NOTE - You want to ask questions to get a sense of whether that photographer is really listening to you!

Ask the photographer to analyze your face to see if he/she would know how to achieve the most flattering images of you. Considering my facial features and physical attribute, what angles of my face would you consider to be better than others?

If your whole family complains about having pictures taken, or if they feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, what ideas do you have to make the photo session less painful for them?

I always blink, so how are you going to get good pictures of me with my eyes open?

Keep in mind that wedding photographers have their own style. Their imagination and artistic sense of what looks good will be transferred to your wedding photos. Many photographers see the world around them as something to be documented and therefore use a documentary-style, while others prefer the rigor of setting up each shot ahead of time. A few really good photographers have both senses and and that's the perfect person. One more thing to think about is that the word photojournalism is often misused and misunderstood. The term almost doesn't have a valuable meaning any more; for most, it's just something meaning that the photographer doesn't have to pose all of his shots. - 16890

1,2,3 of Purchasing Web Hosting

By Louise Baker

The first thing you should do is make a list of what your current goals are. If you are making a professional site, you'll need a secure and reliable host. For instance, if you know that your website will reach thousands of people within a few months, perhaps you should find a web hosting package that includes extra bandwidth. You need additional space, especially if visitors are constantly going to be accessing your website. On the other hand, if you are just experimenting, you should stick to the free hosting packages. Geocities or Angel Fire certainly provides a basic package, which will leave you satisfied. After all, you do not need bells and whistles if you aren't serious about the website in the long run. If you do end up changing your mind, you can always switch services and transfer your website.

Once you have made your decision, you need to find a reputable service. While searching for hosting companies on Google may seem appropriate, it often stems bad results. It is important to remember that just because it is listed on a search engine, doesn't mean it is 100% safe and legit. Therefore, if you do find a potential company, you should get a second opinion. It is usually smart to join a webmaster related forum like SitePoint to discuss such matters. This way you can hear about other people's experiences and what companies to avoid. Additional references from friends or family would also be ideal.

After picking a host, you will need to provide your credit card information. For many users, 3ix.org is a favorite, as it rarely charges you much. Surprisingly, there are discount coupon codes you can acquire through the internet, to also help you with your initial fee. Due to the fact that you have to include your private information, it is absolutely crucial to make sure you find a legit business. The last thing you want is to lose any money. Therefore, you should google their name and check out the reviews from fellow users. This will most definitely make all of the difference, especially if you find out that they are a fraud.

For website beginners, web hosting doesn't have to be difficult or even too time consuming. As long as you find reputable sources, second opinions, and a great easy to use package, you are well on your way to website success. With these instructions in mind, there should be no frustrations or year long debates on what company to use. It is quite simple, once you get in the webmaster's frame of mind. - 16890

Craigslist? I think Not. How to advertise for Free.

By Brent Sweet

Did you know that if you can submit enough articles you can make a great income with clickbank for next to nothing in advertising costs?

I like to use Article Marketing for Clickbank products because:

Instead of paid ads you get a whole page to influence people to buy. With MSN, Yahoo and Google you get a few lines.

You pay nothing to submit articles if you do it manually.

People do read articles, regardless of what you think. They are a huge source of traffic for many webmasters. If you get an article that gets published on a high traffic BLOG you are looking at tons of click throughs.

You can use an article and build a lot of trust. The client is presold before even visting the website sales page.

You can use articles to build up your search engine rankings at the same time you promote products if you have a website.

If you want to be a serious affiliate then you need a good strategy. I will share mine. I write an article about a new affiliate program every day. Then I submit it with a service to over 7000 directories.

This will give you a good selection of products for customers and if you articles are good a fantastic conversion and paycheck. This will give you several one page ads for nearly nothing and income through the roof. - 16890

Clutter-Free Move, Stress-Free Move

By The Affordable Storage Guy

Eliminating clutter before packing is an often-overlooked but crucial part of the moving process. Its very important to determine which items belong in the new house and which should be left behind. Take into consideration whether youll have more or less space and whether or not the new rooms will be serving the same purpose as the old ones.

The benefits of eliminating clutter go far beyond simply having fewer boxes to move. Youll save money by being able to rent or hire a smaller moving van, youll reduce the amount of time you spend unpacking in the new house, and youll also free yourself from emotional baggage that you may not even have realized was weighing you down.

Moving time is also the time to go through those stacks of papers"pay stubs, bank statements, old utility bills, etc."youve been hanging onto and find out what you really need to keep and whats just collecting dust. The Internet has great resources to help you decide what should stay and what should go. Run any outdated papers with personal information on them through a paper shredder; the rest can go in the recycling bin.

Consider holding a yard sale, or, if you start early enough, selling items on the Internet. You can raise some cash to help pay for your move or necessities for the new house, but only if theyre truly necessary"dont use the proceeds of your decluttering to acquire more clutter!

Helping others is a powerful motivator. As you sort through your belongings, set aside items that can be donated to charities such as homeless shelters and other worthy causes.

Im willing to bet there are still some recipes, magazine clippings, etc., that survived the paper purging round. Use some of the proceeds from your yard sale to purchase a small scanner to scan them onto your computer. Rent an online locker if you dont have enough space on your hard drive, then take all those papers straight to your recycling container.

Knowing that items you no longer use will be supporting a good cause and/or contributing to the family finances helps make it easier to let go of those items, and to approach the project with a positive attitude. It may take a bit of work, but it will be well worth the effort. - 16890

This is the top of the line model, as far as mobile technologies go, and has received fantastic reviews from both users and the editorial staff of CNET. You can find these reviews at www.cnet.com and take a look at the 7.9 and 7.3 reviews. The website gives insight to new gadgets so you can compare, side to side, with other hand held devices.

The reviews come from its outstanding performance and speed. The HX4700 is operating on Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition and has the capabilities of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, along with a 624 MHz XScale processor from Hewlett Packard. The four inch screen is unbelievable with its color pixels and it features a replaceable battery to ensure that documents and other information are not lost when the battery dies. It also features a large quantity of memory and is equipped with Outlook, Word, Excel and Internet Explorer.

If there is a downside to the HX4700, then it's all in size.

Granted, there are other manufacturers of mobile technologies that may come with a cheaper price tag, but only you can make that determination. One opponent in the mobile technology market is Apple's iPhone. Users of the iPhone are hard pressed to find many drawbacks to this product other than the price, which is a whopping $399. Before you make any purchase, first determine your needs and take a look at the individual specifications of each hand held.

Some have dual meanings, such as mobile technologies. Mobile technology can refer to a dual-action processor and it can refer to the mobile gadgets, such as PDAs, pocket PCs and Smartphones. We are living in a mobile age and if you are going to stay in contact with your home and work, then you must be able to be contacted no matter where you are.

It is a bit bulky, but is still a very sleek pocket PC. There is a small handicap present when the user first operates the new touchpad and this can translate into poor gaming, for those that use their pocket PC for gaming in particular. If you are in the market for a pocket PC for gaming purposes, then you may want to turn to Dell's Axim. - 16890

Use A Reverse Cell Phone Number Lookup To Trace Phone Calls

By William Harris

Finding the owner of a cell phone number is not easy. What makes it so hard is that cell phone numbers can't be found in phonebooks or in online white pages. If you have tried this in the past then you know how hard it is. Because finding cell phone numbers are so difficult, a lot of people believe that they can not be traced.

A way to discover who a cell phone number belongs to which works different from a phonebook is to do a reverse cell phone number lookup.

If you wanted to do a reverse phone number lookup on a cell phones in the past it would have not been possible, unlike with land line phone numbers, the ability to do so on cell phones is new.

With a reverse cell phone number lookup service you are not forced to type in a name and then are handed the number. To do a reverse cell phone lookup you type in the number and then the data about the person who called is handed to you from a service that has a collection of cell phone and unlisted numbers.

A service provides the information quick and in a readable format.The reason you are able to get the information from a service when you can not get it from anywhere else on the internet is because cell phone companies keep a collection of cell phone numbers even though these numbers are not listed in phone books or in public records.

Companies that supply a reverse cell phone number lookup service buys admission to these databases and create their own collection with up to date information. The companies up date their database as new information is available. It is not possible for you to get access to the databases of the cell phone company and search them yourself. For a small fee you are able to search the database of the service and get a report on the phone number.

Usage of a reverse number lookup service like this means, that not for one minute more do you have to be in the position of picking up a phone call only to discover that it was a call you could have passed over. - 16890

How to Start up an Employment Agency

By Alice Sy

An employment agency can be a prospective business. Since the demand for workers is high, with more businesses being established that prefer getting their workers from an agency, it can promise a good income. If you have any interest in putting up a business like this, here are some pieces of advice for you:

Consider your budget. To start up a business like this, you should have sufficient money. You can never start a business with the absence of capital. There will be some equipment to buy and some people to hire. You should be able to assess which should be bought and which should be rented. If you will need to hire some people to make up your staff, know what positions should be filled in. You need to avoid unnecessary staffing.

Check on the competitors' pricing for you to get some idea on how you should set your own rating system. Your price should be competitive enough to attract both clients and applicants.

Find out what legal documents you need to process. One of the obligations that will be required by the law from you is to obtain all the necessary permits and licenses. You'll have to know where to get these documents, how and what you should present for the processing.

Make a decision on where your location will be. Remember that your business location should be convenient not just for you but for the applicants as well who will be interested to process an application with you. If your home is in a good location, you can consider putting up your office there to save money and time.

Apply for a dedicated phone line. As much as possible, this phone should only be used for business purposes. Keep it open for your clients and applicants. You can also choose to divert the calls to your residential phone after working hours. Hiring an answering service is also a good idea or you can simply install a voice mail or an answering machine to resolve this.

Establish your marketing strategy. You can hire marketers or post announcements on different classified ads offline and online to get clients. You can also tell your employees that they will be given a reward for each referral that they make.

Job orders should be continuous; lest, you won't have anything to offer to your applicants. The more job orders there are means more business, and more business means more income and more help you can give to those people who need jobs. - 16890

Hawaiian Massage Therapy Gives Daily Back Pain Relief

By Steve Esquire

Do you suffer from back pain? Is it more in the shoulder or neck, maybe it's the lower back? Are you seeking any treatments to help alleviate the pain and heal the affected area? Massage chairs have stepped up to offer a variety of treatments and offer Hawaiian massage. Hawaiian massage uses long, flowing strokes, some deep tissue and in some cases stretching. The Hawaiian massage can be a great treatment for back pain in the lower back, shoulders and neck.

Hawaiian massage has evolved from the ancient healers of the Hawaiian islands. These master healers developed specific massage methodologies through time to relief problems throughout the body. One particular method is the Lomi Lomi massage. This Hawaiian technique uses the hands to work gently, yet firmly over the entire body. This therapy is particularly effective in relieving back pain, since it penetrates deeper and deeper.

The medicine men of old from the Hawaiian Islands saw healing holistically. They understood holistic relationships to problems and to cures. They viewed the body as having energy flow and that certain conditions could impede this flow. Through much trial and error they developed ways to manipulate the energy flow in the body. They could get the energy to flow where before it was blocked. This brought back healing to the affected areas.

The gentle swaying motions of the Hawaiian massage set it apart from other techniques. These rhythmic movements help to reduce the tightness of muscles. Muscles become tight when used, so loosening the muscles helps to restore their elasticity and flexibility. These massage therapy also uses elements of deep tissue. Deep tissue is used to relieve the whole muscle down to the bone, not just the surface areas. Firm pressure is used to penetrate through the muscles.

Hawaiian massage techniques are now being integrated into the best massage chair brands like Panasonic and Omega. Panasonic has developed software programs that replicate the key techniques of Hawaiian massage. You can find one-touch massage buttons just for this specialized therapy technique. Other companies like Omega have integrated some of the more effective movements like the gentle swaying motion. Omega also includes stretching or lower body traction in its recliners to help the stretching and loosening of tight muscles for great relief.

You may be surprised how far massage recliners have advanced. They provide full body therapy and an astonishing array of massage techniques. The Lomi Lomi massage is the one of the latest to be integrated into these tireless mechanical masseuses. If you have back pain, check with your health care professional about a massage chair. They offer tremendous capability and with the addition of Hawaiian massage can take to higher states of relaxation and tranquility. - 16890

The Benefits of Starting a Website

By Poppy

The benefits of starting a website can be many and varied. How you benefit depends on your reason for starting the site. If you are a musician, starting your own website is a cheap and effective way of allowing a wider audience to access your work. Put MP3 clips of videos of you or your band on your site. Promote your site as widely as possible - the social networking sites are currently a great way of driving traffic to your site.

Many people suffering from medical conditions feel isolated. You may feel you are the only person with the problem. Start a website. Talk about your condition, find links to treatments, medical resources or forums. Other people with the same condition will find your site. Give them a means to contact you - you will make friends and find yourself less isolated. For anyone with an interest in family history a website can be a useful way of allowing others doing similar research to contact you. Allow others to contact you to share your research.

If you have are interested in genealogy why not start your own website? Long lost relatives or others researching similar family trees may find your site. You will be able to share your work and encourage others to contribute to it.Starting a website will give you the opportunity to earn some extra cash online. Place adverts or affiliate sales links on your site. Work hard building links to ensure drive traffic to your site.

For owners of even the smallest business, a website can be an invaluable tool. If you offer holiday lettings you can use an automated booking system to save time and allow your visitors to book directly. Having your own site allows you to give potential visitors a full description of your properties together with photographs and any local information you feel will be of interest to them. If you run a business selling any kind of products, a website will allow your wares to be seen by a much wider audience - local, national and even international.

Increasingly these days people expect to find all the information they need on the web. If your business doesn't have a website you will be missing out on potential customers or clients.

If you are running special events for the public a page on your website can contain all the information visitors require. People who would otherwise not know about your event might find your site as they are surfing the net.

For charitable organizations a website is a cheap and effective way of putting your message across and informing potential donors and potential service users of your charity's activities and benefits. If you are recruiting staff a website is, again, a cheap and effective way of reaching potential employees. Job descriptions and application forms can be delivered electronically, saving time and postage.

Of course there are costs - both monetary and time - involved in setting up a website. But even a simple website can put your message across and bring you and/or your business a range of benefits. - 16890

How to Choose Money Keywords & Cash In with Jon Leger's 3WayLinks

By Henry Zeng

Hi everyone,

I'm revealing my never-told secret tactic for you to unleash the full potential of Jonathan Leger's 3WayLinks SEO system.

It's the exactly what I learn from some super affiliates who use this secret tactic to rake in tens of thousand cash by promoting as an affiliate.

Did you know that choosing your keywords is the MOST important part of the whole process? I can say 99% of the marketers who fail with 3WayLinks are doing this step wrong.

Many marketers just chase to rank those hot keywords and build sites with those search terms. But soon they found these keywords are hard to get ranked. Even if they're getting traffic, they get no sales in this kind of search traffic. Big fail. And they complain this system is not working.

And what I advise is to aim to rank the keywords that MAKE MONEY.

When you're building a site to promote affiliate products, the 5 keywords strings you MUST target are: the product name, product name review, buy product name, purchase product name, and product name bonus.

But why?

Because people searching on these words are interested in the product. They want to read positive reviews to convince them to buy and they are already ready to buy!

The keywords I mention are money keywords which guarantee to make sales and also easy to rank in the search engines.

You may not expect to get huge traffic but the conversions will be just fantastic.

Even though you get less traffic, you end up making more money.

You can easily leave your competitors in the dust with 3WayLinks because you get much less competition with these keywords. 250 links from 3WL are absolutely enough.

And good news is now Google's External Keyword Tool reports the exact search volume (maybe the death of all major keyword tools?)

That means now it's easy to decide which keywords are worth to rank, since 3WL just allows you to choose 3 keywords of your choice to rank in.

You just need to choose the product related keywords I mentioned which have healthy search volumes.

Jonathan also includes a free report on keyword selection in the 3WL member area, which will help you how to find low to mid-competition keywords to aim for. Read it carefully.

Conclusion: 3WayLinks is an awesome tool for getting hands-off Google rankings for mini sites, affiliate review sites and small content sites. Use it to get traffic for your mini-sites while eventually serving link juice and traffic for your authority sites. - 16890

Why Your Web Site Stinks

By Matthew Henage

Here is a list of possible reasons why your website stinks.

You Built Before You Planned

The most common reason for not planning is to save time. Not planning your website when you start creating it is like having someone build a home without any blueprints. Without blueprints or a website plan, you'll end up with results that stink. The best reason to plan out your website before having it built is to save time and money.

You Forgot to Budget

If you didn't budget out your website, you've made an awful mistake. It is better to scrimp a little on your web design so that you actually have resources to get targeted traffic to your site. If your budget is small, start small but keep it well rounded build some sales and build up each portion evenly. You need to budget for web design, content, web development, SEO, Internet marketing and public relations.

You Forgot to Do Cross Browser Testing

Your website looks great in Firefox, but looks awful in Internet Explorer or vice versa. With problems like this, you are presenting a destructive image to half or more of your audience. Make sure your website works in Internet Explorer 6-8, Firefox 2-3, and Safari browsers. Heck, It couldn't hurt to check it out in Google Chrome as well.

Your Lacking a Singular Voice or Direction

One of the things that made Google the most used search engine is because they knew why people were went to their site, and they gave it to them. The equation, give people value + make it easy for them = online success. Too many sites on the web have too much clutter on their website. Make your layout clean, your navigation intuitive and your content valuable.

Your Website is Worthless

Do you find that your customers come and go but never stick around very long or return to your site? You'll find the most probable reason for this problem is your website has no apparent value to your audience. You need to understand who your audience is and what they are looking for on your site in order to make your site of value to them.

You Make Your Audience Wait

Your website is slow or it has an splash page (intro) to get to the actual content. Whatever it may be that is making your potential clients wait, it is not acceptable. Give them a first rate service, and please them with quick content and you'll see them come back for more.

Your Web Design Runs Haphazardly

Form follows function, and if your website is for your business the function of your website is to make more money. If you focussed on how good your design looks, over a design that persuades your visitors to make a profitable action your running a risk. Your web design should tell a story about your company. But first you need to create a story that influences your audiences to do what you want them to, and then you need to tell that story through your web design. - 16890

Using video to get more web site traffic

By Rick Lomas

Statistics indicate that people, especially the younger crowd, spend more time online than watching TV. Video on the internet is not new, but it was traditionally just for entertainment. Now video is used widely for entertainment, instruction and to increase traffic to a website.

When making a video to drive traffic to your website think of it as a commercial. Commercials used on television are very effective sales tools. Pay attention to the TV commercials and borrow ideas from them. Take a look at how other top ranked websites are using the power of video to increase traffic and sales. A video is an ideal way to demonstrate your product or service and get those important visitors to your website.

Keep in mind that the video is a representation of your company. Choose the people or images in your traffic driving video with care. Make sure they are pleasant. People are more interested in watching something pleasant. Using neutral accents is recommended. Keep in mind that humans listen faster than they speak, so don't speak too slowly; it will irritate your viewers. Try not to be too pushy with your sales message, aim for gently persuasive. Video works great for showing rather than just telling. Remember, a picture paints a thousand words!

You will likely want to start by uploading your video to YouTube. YouTube gets loads of traffic and is used by other webmasters that are looking for content to put on their sites. They simply have to copy and paste some code in order to show your video on their site. It is great if other sites show your video, it means more traffic for you

YouTube is not the only video sharing site; there are currently around 30 sites that will host your videos. To realize the maximum benefit from your video you should consider posting your clip to all of these sites. Some of the hosting sites provide a revenue sharing option. Posting your video to all of these available sites can be time consuming, but it is very effective.

Since you are using the video to get traffic to your website, be sure to show your URL at both the beginning and the end of the video clip. It is also possible to watermark your URL into your video. Once the video is produced, it is time to get it to the masses and use that video to increase your website traffic.

Animoto is a service that can turn some music and a few stills into fantastic music videos. Once the video has been made you can download it and submit it to video hosting platforms all over the web. I find that with carefully chosen keyphrases you can get a number one in Google in less than 2 hours. The Animoto Software is online and free to use if you are only doing short videos, but I recommend getting the 'All Area Pass' which is very cheap and even cheaper if you use this Animoto referral code: 'xklrsoeg' which gets you a $5 discount

The fastest and most cost effective way to get your videos online to multiple video hosting platforms, automatically converted into podcasts and well distributed to multiple podcast directories, social bookmarked and automatically blogged is by using the awesome online service, Traffic Geyser, which has enabled me to get a Google number one in less than 4 minutes. - 16890

How To Set and Achieve Your Medical Billing Goals

By Carl Mays II

According to many polls, by January 31, 2009 the majority of New Year resolutions will have already been abandoned. This does not mean that it should be a day of mourning, but rather it is the time to take stock of what needs to be done to reach the goals that were set at the end of 2008. It is critical to keep in mind two of the corner stones for achieving any goal:

1. Treat your set backs as temporary failures and not total defeat (i.e., just because you broke down and smoked a cigarette does not mean you should just say I failed on my goal to quit smoking); and

2. Create a series of intermediate goals between where you are and where you want to be (i.e., instead of "I will lose 50 pounds this year" focus on "I will lose 1 pound each week").

These ideas do not only apply to personal goals, but to business goals as well. If you are trying to improve your medical collections in 2009, you should build upon these concepts. So, given these two points what is the best way to achieve a New Year's resolution of improving your medical billing? The best place to start is with the goal of getting your claims out the door clean. This is a great starting point because it does many wonderful things:

- You can only achieve it by having a laser focus on the front end elements of medical billing. This is where the medical billing "game" is won or lost;

- This goal can be easily broken down into smaller goals such as "I will improve my acceptance rate by 2% per month or I will implement a claim scrubber by the end of March;

- Set backs position you for better performance tomorrow. How? You look at the claims that did not go out the door clean and learn what went wrong. Do you have a problem at the front desk with gathering demographics? Do you have a problem with training your data entry people? Do you have one physician that consistently codes incorrectly? Do you have one payer that really dislikes one of your common procedures?

- It lends itself to technology aids. Invest in a scrubber that will help you find coding problems before you submit the claims. Invest in insurance verification tools that will make it easier to have clean demographics. Invest in coding tools that will help improve your data entry performance.

What does all of this mean? It means this is the time for a renewed focus on your medical billing business goals. It is time to:

- Measure your current performance level;

- Set your medical billing goals high (96% of all claims will be paid on first submission);

- Break them down into bite size pieces (I will improve clean claim submissions by 2% each month), and

- Create a plan for how you will learn from rejected claims.

Implement these steps and you can achieve significantly better medical billing results in 2009 than you realized in previous years.
