			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> For years, I led single-session teleseminars and sold them as  products without doing any audio editing. The recording service I  was using created the recordings for me so they started with my  Hello and ended after my Goodbye, and contained  everything that happened in between.    When I shifted from offering one-off teleclasses to multi-session  classes, however, I raised my standards. After all, people were  paying $795 to $997 now and not just $39.95. And once I  experienced how easy audio editing can be, I was no <!--content-->

</div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> longer  willing to deliver unedited audios to paying customers. It took  me all of 10 minutes to learn the basic moves needed to polish an  audio recording &#8211; and I am not a techie!    What I do now is retain the spontaneity of a teleclass, which  resembles either a radio talk show or an informal lecture,  depending on whether theres just one speaker or two. But as far  as I can with my elementary knowledge of audio editing, I also do  the following:     * Delete distracting beeps, coughs and static.     * Cut at least some of the ums or other vocal filler.     * Even out volume differences between speakers, making the soft  voices louder and the loud ones less jarring.     * Eliminate questions and answers that derail the flow of the  session, like, Sorry, I came late, can you repeat such and  such?    Make sure you check and make sure that the audio track plays in  both stereo channels. Otherwise someone listening on earphones  hears the sound only in one ear. I have returne d two audio  products for refunds because of this flaw &#8211; which is <!--content-->

<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> simple to  fix during the editing process if you take a few moments to do  so.    Just a little more advanced in technique is adding a musical  intro and outro. The latter usually matches the former and goes  at the end of the audio file. To stay on the right side of the  law, dont use snippets from commercial CDs for this. Instead,  search for royalty free music and follow the terms of use  imposed by its originator or vendor.    Once you know your way around audio editing, you can also easily  combine recordings, substitute parts of recordings or split a  long teleseminar session into smaller pieces that you parcel out  a day at a time in an autoresponder or on a blog. The  possibilities are endless!    Audacity, a widely acclaimed audio editing program, is not only  extremely easy to use but also free. Look for it at  <a rel="external nofollow" title="http://audacity.sourceforge.net." target="_self" href="http://www.linvswin.com/8st2">http://audacity.sourceforge.net.</a> I use Wavepad, another free  audio editing program, available at <a rel="external nofollow" title="http://nch.com.au/wavepad." target="_self" href="http://www.linvswin.com/6O0o">http://nch.com.au/wavepad.</a> If  youre familiar with highligh ting and moving text around a  document by cutting and pasting, youll <!--content-->
<div STYLE="float: right; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> catch on very quickly to  the fundamentals of audio editing. Save your edited audio files  as MP3s and you have a product thats a cut above those who  distribute unedited teleseminar recordings.    Customers usually wont demand their money back if you skip  editing, but they definitely are more likely to buy again if you  put some time and care into preparation of your recording.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> As owner of a winery and also a restaurant, I often get asked a  lot of questions about wine and also about the wine industry in  general.

It takes 4 to 5 years to harvest a commercial crop from newly  replanted grape vines?    10. 10,000 varieties of wine grapes exist worldwide.    11. It costs around $1 per bottle to age wine in a French oak  barrel.    12. It costs around $3 per bottle to age wine in only new French  oak barrels.    13.

How old was the wine being reviewed? Answer: 200 years old!  Pliny the Elder wrote the history of the Roman Empire around 70  A.D.    15.

<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> oak tree is suitable for making high grade  wine barrels.    19. The 1996 grape crop in Napa Valley was down 20% &#8211; 25% from  normal.    20. California, New York and Florida are the top three U.S.  states in terms of wine consumption.    21. 58% percentage of legal-aged Americans contacted in a Nielson  phone survey drink wine.    22. 55 percentage of restaurant wine sales are red wines.    23. $2.64 is the average cost of the grapes used to produce a $20  bottle of wine?    24. Dom Perignon 1638-1715, the Benedictine Abbey at  Hautvillers cellar master who is generally credited with  inventing the Champagne making process, was blind.    25. Thomas Jefferson helped stock the wine cellars of the first  five U.S. presidents and was very partial to fine Bordeaux and  Madeira.    26. To prevent a sparkling wine from foaming out of the glass,  pour an ounce, which will settle quickly. Pouring the remainder  of the serving into this starter will not foam as much. 27. Old wine almost never turns to vinegar. It spoils by  oxidation.    28. In King Tuts Egypt around 1300 BC, the commoners drank  beer <!--content-->

<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> and the upper class drank wine.    29. It is the VERY slow interaction of oxygen and wine that  produces the changes noticed in aging wine. It is believed that  wine ages more slowly in larger bottles, since there is less  oxygen per volume of wine in larger bottles. Rapid oxidation, as  with a leaky cork, spoils wine.    30. Before harvest, the canopy of leaves at the top of the vine  is often cut away to increase exposure to the sun and speed  ripening.    We hope you enjoyed these facts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> Many people who frequent the online money making forums get  really sick of all the work at home scams, Nigerian Scams and  other online scams that they start despairing and tell themselves  that there is no such thing as an internet income.  If you fall  within this category or are just starting out online, this  article is for you.    Google Adsense is a program where anyone can signup with Google  and create an account.  You then simply select the type of  advertisement that you would like to put on your website and then  paste the code into your site and you are ready to make money.   Your goal <!--content-->
<p />
<div STYLE="float: left; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> now after doing this is to work on increasing the  amount of website traffic to your website as you earnings depend  on how many people visit your website and click on the Adsense  Advertisements on your website or blog.    This article will explain three simple time tested ways on how  you can profit from the Google Adsense Advertising program and  make money from it.      1. Make Money from a High Traffic Blog    People flock to blogs because they get to read what other people  are writing about and if the subject matter is interesting  enough, they get to participate in the discussion online.  Blogs  attract large amounts of website traffic because each time you  finish posting on your blog, the major Blog Aggregators will be  informed via a ping from your server and if people like the title  of your post, they will start coming onto your blog.    One common tactic being used today in blogging is link baiting  where you write about a controversial topi c and all of a sudden,  many blogs start linking to you and sending traffic to your blog.    Thus you will start earning more from the increased traffic via  Adsense Clickthroughs.    2. Build Small Content Niche Sites    Build a great content <!--content-->
<p /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2351994021828010"; /* 2011-Content, 250x250, created 7/5/11 */ google_ad_slot = "8635948309"; google_ad_width = 250; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>
<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> site that has good content that people will  be willing to link to and give you traffic.  The key to building  a great website is to target keywords that people are searching  for so that you can get large amounts of website traffic from the  internet.  Then put together a simple website for this.  A great  free tool that I use for keyword research is  <a rel="external nofollow" title="http://www.goodkeywords.com" target="_self" href="http://www.linvswin.com/ZOsp">http://www.goodkeywords.com</a> to determine keywords that generate  huge amounts of website traffic.    I would suggest that if you are new to this, you can start with a  blog and see if people are interested in the keywords and topics  that you write about and then after that once you establish that  you can make money from that topic, spin it off and start a small  content website.  The key as mentioned above is to get website  traffic.      3. Community Based Sites    You might want to consider starting a community portal like  Friendster or an Article Directory where people constantly return  to the websit e to submit articles, blogs, comments and this would  result in a high amount of website traffic to your website and  increased Adsense Revenue.    For example, you might want to brainstorm on all your interests  and maybe start out with a forum <!--content-->
<div STYLE="float: right; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> on your favourite topic and then  progress to build a larger portal.  This concept is huge and if  done well can get you lots of money.    In conclusion, the key to making money online with adsense is  generating quality website traffic.  All the ebooks on making  money with adsense that you see out there online do not mean  anything if you do not generate great amounts of website traffic  to your website.  Start with one of the three money making ideas  above and spend your energy and focus on increasing your website  traffic and you will start making serious money online with  Adsense.  Take Massive action today and make strides to reach  your online monetary dreams.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> Every person who is serious with their online business should  purchase products that will give them the expertise, knowledge or  tool to improve their business. Money needs to be spent.    In the past, these products have been in the ranges of $17 &#8211; $97  on average. However in recent years, weve seen packages in the  range of $999 &#8211; $1499. Are these internet marketing products  worth purchasing or just a marketing gimmick?    I totally agree that you should buy internet marketing products  to improve your business. If applying the techniques brings you  more sales or saves you time, then the price you invested <!--content-->
<p />
<div STYLE="float: left; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> is a  drop in the bucket.    For the high priced internet marketing products, if after reading  through the product you manage to get a modest 2 extra customers  a month then youll quickly receive back your investment.    Add to the fact that the knowledge youve gained has shaved at  least a year of researching, now that $1000 product you bought  was a bargain!    A lot of marketers purchase these high priced ticket items to  learn 2 or more ideas they can use for their businesses. They  know that successfully implementing these ideas will give them an  increase of thousands of dollars per month. Therefore, they  cannot afford not to buy them.    I hear you say What!?! A thousand odd dollars for 2 or more  ideas? Yes. If you actually implement the ideas the increase in  sales is well worth it. The key here, is implementing the ideas.    A high priced internet marketing product should take you at least  a month to read through. A good tip is to study the entire  prod uct twice. On your second time, take notes and write down any  ideas that you think you can implement in your business.    Word of warning &#8211; Do not buy any products during this study time.  It will only distract you from learning. Its also why people <!--content-->

<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> complain of information overload and get nothing done with their  business. Remember, your aim is more sales, more leads and/or  saving you time.    You shouldnt go and buy products just based on the salesletter  and the hype surrounding the product. Buy the products based on  recommendation from a trust worthy person who has themselves  bought and used the products.    Ive reviewed a list of high priced products Ive used in the  past and applied to my business. The recommendations are based on  the persons expertise. There are some products that are hair  pulling for beginners and just suitable for the advanced  marketer &#8211; and also vice-versa.    Send an email to the autoresponder <a href="mailto:high@onlinemoneymachine.com">high@onlinemoneymachine.com</a>  for the list of recommended high-priced internet marketing  products.    Theres a common scenario with some purchasers. Their feeling is  &#8211;  the information is common sense and its unjustified for the  price paid. Ive read reviews like this even for very good products.    Heres what I suspect:    1.  Have they really gone through the product and been honest  with themselves?    2. Are they looking for a secret that will make them loads with  little effort? Sorry mate, but that doesnt exist.    3. Have <!--content-->
<div STYLE="float: right; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> they implemented the so called common sense ideas?    Having knowledge is useless. Using and applying knowledge is what  creates success. Reading the product may inspire you to use the  idea and create the success you are aiming for.    Overall, Ive been pretty impressed with some of the internet  marketing products released. However, you have to know if the  product is suitable for you and if youre going to use it.  Theres no point in buying a product because its the talk of  the town at that current period of time.    Buy products, especially high priced internet marketing products  if you are sure you will use it. The best way is to buy a product  because it is exactly what you are looking for at the moment.  Also make sure that it has been given a thumbs up by someone you  trust who has used it. You can get the list of reviewed products  by sending an email to <a href="mailto:high@onlinemoneymachine.com">high@onlinemoneymachine.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> A few years ago offline businesses would never have dreamt of  bringing their businesses into the Internet arena but now  marketing has changed so rapidly that businesses cannot afford to  ignore the Internet. So if you havent brought your business  onto the Internet my question to you is &#8230;Why not?    There may be a few reasons holding you back but you may be very  sure that your competition will have no problems picking up the  Internet gold and your potential customers. If you do not have a  website presence for your offline business you are leaving 1000s  of dollars on the table. There is a huge and growing market  online just waiting for you. <!--content-->
<p />
<div STYLE="float: left; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> Everyday new people come on the  Internet and they could be your customers. So what are the  reasons that offline businesses are not tapping into this market?  Here are a few common excuses:    1. My business is local and the Internet is global  2. I have a wholesale business I cannot sell hard goods on the  Internet  3. Websites are expensive and what do I do with one anyway?  4. Internet surfers are not interested in my offline goods    My business is local and the Internet is global: A few years ago  this may have been true but now there are ways to search for  local businesses with just a click of your customers mouse. They  simply put in the keyword of the item they are looking for +  their local state/province, city and country and all the local  businesses websites come up.  Then there is Froogle, the search  engine for shoppers. Searchers just put their keyword for  products in here and a whole list of products come up. If you do  not list your website and just put in your store location this  will come up with a handy little map to guide potential customers  to your exact location. So there are ways to get your local  customers into your offline business. Google search engine and  Froogle are free to submit to.    I have a wholesale business I cannot sell hard goods on the  Internet: <!--content-->
<p /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2351994021828010"; /* 2011-Content, 250x250, created 7/5/11 */ google_ad_slot = "8635948309"; google_ad_width = 250; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>
<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> Hard goods can easily be sold on the Internet by using  drop shippers. Instead of using wholesalers that you actually go  to or deliver to your business you can make use of drop shippers  and fulfillment houses that can be contacted online. We will go  into this in more detail in a later issue. Drop shippers can  deliver directly to your customer and give you the wholesale  prices. Fulfillment houses can take care of your inventory and  shipping to your customers.    Websites are expensive and what do I do with one anyway? Websites  can be designed and built for a very reasonable price by using  freelance web designers. They are sometimes from all over the  world but you can narrow it down to your own country if you wish,  by specifying a certain country in your project description. Two  of the largest contractors are <a rel="external nofollow" title="http://Elance.com" target="_self" href="http://www.linvswin.com/JRWl">http://elance.com</a> and  <a rel="external nofollow" title="http://guru.com" target="_self" href="http://www.linvswin.com/2swL">http://guru.com</a>    Your website will have several purposes.      * To establish your business online and brand your business    * To attract warm ready to buy visitors to your business.  Website promotion is the most cost effective marketing you will  ever do and will save you 1000s in advertising costs.    * There is a growing trend of savvy shoppers who do not want to  fight their way through the malls and are looking for choices  online.    Internet surfers <!--content-->
<div STYLE="float: right; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> are not interested in my offline goods:  Internet surfers are actually your own customers but in a  different place. Let me explain. A few years ago your customers  would have been on foot and coming to your business but now the  times have changed. People are realizing the tremendous  convenience of shopping online and are letting their mouse do  the walking. Internet surfers are not just people drifting about  on the Internet. They are serious shoppers and expect the high  standards they have been used to offline. Your website will  provide them with all this and more.    This is just a small introduction to how you can establish your  business presence online. In the coming issues we will look into  all the ways you can use the power of the Internet to rake in the  profits for your offline business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> You could easily spend a good chunk of your life reading about  SEO. But its not needed. You dont need to endlessly tweak,  research, track, and tweak some more to get outstanding  rankings.    But It does require some knowledge, effort, and patience.    You can get a respectable start with the information Im about  to share with you. Then you can take it to what ever level you  desire.    First, you need to know about the two main areas of website SEO    1. On-page SEO    2. Off-page SEO    On-Page factors include anything done to your website to improve  its search engine rankings.    Off-Page factors are efforts external to your website, such as  submitting articles and building links, to <!--content-->
<p />
<div STYLE="float: left; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> improve your  rankings.    And heres some very useful information for you&#8230;most of your  results will come from off-page factors. So you know where you  should be concentrating your efforts. Dont ignore on-page SEO.  Its important and contributes to your rankings.    On-Page SEO include the following:    Site and page title:    The site title is one of the most important on-page factors. The  search engine spiders will read your site and pages titles and  use that, in comparison with other on-page factors, to help  determine rank.    One common mistake with writing the title is using something  generic. You never want to do that. Your titles should be  relevant to the page its associated with. By relevant I mean  contains appropriate keywords or keyword phrases.    H1 portant to place your primary and even secondary keywords into  your H1 tags.    Keyword Density:    Keyword density still matters but its not as important as it  used to be. Youll be safe with  a general rule: Mention your  keyword several times early, then a few times through the body of  the text and again near the end of your copy.    The search engines, led by Google, are implementing LSI, Latent  Semantic Indexing, in their ranking <!--content-->
<p /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2351994021828010"; /* 2011-Content, 250x250, created 7/5/11 */ google_ad_slot = "8635948309"; google_ad_width = 250; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>
<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> algorithms. Geeky LSI is  hard-core mathematics. But for marketers, just try to include  natural terms associated with your primary and secondary  keywords in your main text.    Internal Link Structure:    This simply refers to your internal navigation menu. Or where  your links point to within your site. One very common mistake is  using the home link.    Take the primary keyword for your home page and substitute it for  Home in the rest of your sites pages. Doing this will help  build internal link popularity for that keyword. Then do the same  for your internal pages. Always use the primary keyword for a  page in any links pointing to that page.    Off-Page SEO Factors:    Off-page SEO usually involves building back links to your website  using your main keyword as the anchor text for those links.    And your link campaign should use not just one method but  multiple methods. The reason simply being if one method stops  working, you have the others. Youre not p utting all your eggs  in one basket!    Link-Building Methods:    Reciprocal Linking:    Reciprocal linking involves two webmasters putting a link on  their site for the other. Most marketers did this manually in the  past. But now you can join services that make it very easy to  exchange links.    One-Way Links:    These are the most coveted links to have&#8230;especially if theyre  from a relevant authority site. Some are saying reciprocal <!--content-->
<div STYLE="float: right; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> links  are being phased out or becoming less effective. But it wont  hurt you to have some reciprocal linking happening.    You can accumulate one-way links through&#8230;    Article Submissions:    Youll write an article on your topic, or use private label  articles, then insert your author biography at the footer of the  article. Your footer will include a link to your main site.    Then submit these articles to article directories. If your  article is published youll have a nice one-way link to your  site.    Buying Links:    You can buy links online if you want. The biggest benefit is that  you can get high PR links affordably and fast. But you do need to  exercise some caution with buying high PR links. Search engines,  most notably Google, frowns on link buying and will penalize your  site if they suspect youve done it. So watch out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> This small device works surprisingly well for typing large amounts of text, though its touch screen, gaming and browsing capabilities are somewhat limited due to its small size. It gets the job done, however, as more of a utility/text/information lookup device than a multimedia device.</p>
<p>The device runs a pretty standard Android 2.3 OS with the addition of four multi-widget slots in the corners of the screen. <!--content-->
<p />
<div STYLE="float: left; overflow: hidden"> <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_top&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;nou=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=goodnews08-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B005DIPS06" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p></div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> If you&#39;re used to Android devices, you&#39;ll immediately be familiar with the basic application-with-desktop-widgets model.</p>
<p>With the keyboard stowed, the device feels thick, maybe 1.5x thicker than an iPhone 4. The bottom edges are rounded and smooth and with its thickness, the phone can feel like a slippery bar of soap. With the tray stowed, the device can easily be navigated one handed using the thumb because of the small size of the screen.</p>
<p>The keyboard pulls out with a satisfying but smooth slide and the device powers up from standby with a short, but bearable delay. The device feels solid, even with the keyboard out. The device is much easier to hold with the keyboard out as it feels much thinner. The keys are separated enough and responsive enough to make even, say, writing an essay on the <!--content-->
<p /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2351994021828010"; /* 2011-Content, 250x250, created 7/5/11 */ google_ad_slot = "8635948309"; google_ad_width = 250; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>
<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> device pleasurable. I found that I could type almost at the speed of thought with almost no errors. The backlit keyboard seems a little bit flaky though with the lights blinking on and off seemingly at random making the keys a little hard to read in the wrong light conditions.</p>
<p>The screen is clear and bright, though the touch screen capabilities are a little lacking. Even pulling out the Android&#39;s top status bar is a chore because it&#39;s much too easy to mis-press. You&#39;ll often find your device doing random things, because of an errant touch screen press, though the Android&#39;s back button makes it easy to get back to where you were. I found myself navigating a lot using the arrow keys as it simply seemed less error prone.</p>
<p>Call quality is OK and the ergonomics of the device as a phone are lacking <!--content-->
<div STYLE="float: right; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> (because of the width the height ratio and the thickness.) The ergonomics of the USB charging cover are horrendous as there&#39;s no good way to pry the thing open &#8212; the slot for your fingernail isn&#39;t deep enough and doesn&#39;t provide any purchase, so you&#39;re left scratching at it until you get lucky. The power on button is a little bit small and requires a good push to activate &#8212; luckily, you can just slide the keyboard try out to turn it on.</p>
<p>Overall, not a bad little, with emphasis on little, device. It seems best suited for text based activities such as taking notes, texting, e-reading or reading graphic light web pages. I wouldn&#39;t recommend it for heavy game players or media consumers, but would recommend it for someone looking for something small and different. <!--content--></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> Youre really wanting to be thoughtful and accommodating. You  want to make your clients and customers comfortable, so they can  have things the way they like it.    So you start making up offers, each with different options and  flavors. Eventually you have a menu of ten options.    And no ones buying. Is it your marketing? Or your menu?    A child with no ice cream.    Hot summer day. Cool ice cream shop. An eager child. The sign  says 37 flavors.    What happens next? Thats right- you sit there while this little  cherub thinks, and wonders, and decides, and goes back and forth  wondering which flavor of ice cream to get.    Either that, or he just ignores all the many flavors and gets the  old-standby chocolate, <!--content-->
<p />
<div STYLE="float: left; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> with sprinkles.    What are choices?    Choices are where we express power. By making a choice, youre  expressing how youd like things to be. This requires a certain  confidence and clarity.    Add to this problem the fact that most of us in Western culture  have had our imagination squashed out of us. In school, in jobs,  were taught to regurgitate what were told, to maneuver  through multiple-choice tests, and to pick our path from limited  options.    This may seem like a bad thing, and it can certainly be painful  if someone is limiting your options in an artificial manner. But  the truth is that your clients like limits.    Huh? Thats nutty- they dont want limits, they want to get  past the limits of the problem they are facing.    Well, sure, thats true. They do want to solve their problem and  keep moving. But, when faced with a problem, a problem they  cant solve, do you think they are feeling much clarity or  confidence in their heart?    Probably not. And yet, what are the two main qualities that are  needed to make a choice? Clarity and confidence.    Hmmm&#8230; do you see the same problem I see?    Limiting choices creates more safety.    Dont give your clients a menu of ten different options, even if  they are similar to one another. As Henry Ford said, They can  have the Model T in any color they want, as long as its  black.    Ol Henry set that up to keep his costs down in the assembly  line factories he had. However, <!--content-->
<p /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2351994021828010"; /* 2011-Content, 250x250, created 7/5/11 */ google_ad_slot = "8635948309"; google_ad_width = 250; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>
<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> this principle applies even more  strongly to businesses in the limitless choice world of seventy  million Google results.    By limiting choice for your clients, they only have to muster up  enough confidence and clarity to do one thing- hire you, instead  of having to wend their way through all 37 flavors of your  offers.    It works. But isnt it kinda boring to just have one or two  offers? What happens to the creativity in your business? And how  do you handle different types of clients?    Hold on to your ice cream cone. Ive got some ideas for you.    Keys to Dishing out the Options.      * Limit the recommended intro offers.    If you have one or two specific offers where you recommend  beginners start, thats the place to sendem. Foundational  offerings that cover the basics, and begin to walk them into your  world.      * Create a gazillion offers, but understand the sequence.    If you have a hundred offers, thats great. But then organize  them in some kind of a seque nce, at least for the first few.  Understand how one of your offers links to the next links to the  next.    Now, your clients progress wont always be linear, and so you  dont have to put all one hundred offers in sequence. There will  come a point where, through the help theyve received from you  and elsewhere, that they regain some of their lost confidence and  clarity, which will give them greater decision-making ability.    Plus, after theyve done <!--content-->
<div STYLE="float: right; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> the first two or three offers, theyll  have more familiarity with what you do, and how you do it, so it  will be easier to choose from many offers.      * For custom consulting, still limit your offers.    When you are quoting out a custom consulting project to someone,  you still dont want to overwhelm them with options. The same  lack of clarity and confidence applies to these decision-makers,  no matter how sharply theyre dressed.    By setting one or two options in front of them, youre showing  your own expertise and confidence, and that is one more bit of  trust they will have in you.    Although its tempting to want to create a groaning board table  full of all kinds of delicious offers, it will lose you clients.  Instead, limit their choices, and watch them happily walk out  with your chocolate ice cream cone.    The best to you and your business,   Mark Silver</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> When fans, especially those of the casual variety, think of Pearl  Jam they generally conjure up an image of a fight the power  type of band whos politically active and bent on not succumbing  to the Man running the music industry.    Thats pretty much the bands reputation, just ask anyone with  Pearl Jam concert tickets.    In 2006, Rolling Stone magazine wrote that Pearl Jam had spent  much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own  fame.  The band stopped making both television appearances and  music videos. Meanwhile, they unsuccessfully took on  Ticketmaster.    The band has always been politically active. They support the  pro-choice movement, environment and wildlife protection groups  the <!--content-->

<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> band has a carbon neutral policy, and the Green Party  suppress chuckle now.    This may come as a shock, but they werent fans of George W.  Bush.    In addition, Pearl Jam has performed in concerts benefiting the  U.N.s fight against world hunger, victims of Hurricane Katrina,  Habitat for Humanity and the American Red Cross.    Its clear that Pearl Jam is all about saving this and  protecting that and fighting this injustice and battling that  travesty. However, if you look around, this seemingly socially  progressive juggernaut is in cahoots with a plethora of big-time  corporations.    In fact, Pearl Jam is hawking more products than Peyton Manning.    Their upcoming ninth studio album, Backspacer, set to be released  September 20th, is being sold exclusively at Target and indie  retailers but who goes to them anymore.    You can also download the album from the iTunes Music Store  Apple. Overseas, album is being distributed by Universal Music  Vivendi.    Recently, the b and has joined up with Verizons V Cast platform  to offer fans access to Pearl Jam content.    Backspacer uses Sony technology to house extra material and the  entire album with get the full DLC Rock Band 2 treatment,  possibly paving the way for a Pearl Jam Rock Band game  Electronic Arts in 2010.    In the 1990s, Kurt Cobain accused the band of being sellouts  but he probably didnt imagine the band would ever sell out to  an army of corporations. <!--content-->
<p /> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2351994021828010"; /* 2011-Content, 250x250, created 7/5/11 */ google_ad_slot = "8635948309"; google_ad_width = 250; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>
<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> Cobain was referring to the way the band was selling albums,  t-shirts and concert tour tickets. He was not referring to the  bands vertical commercial integration with consumer oriented  media synergy okay, we made that up but you get our point.    Now you might argue that using Sonys software or being  immortalized by Rock Band doesnt make one a sellout. Thats  true, but the more corporations you do business with and the more  politically active you are, the greater the risk of biting the  hand that feeds.    What is the target of most political activism? Its the  government and corporations. Take the environment for example.  Its not being polluted by orphans and puppy dogs. Its being  polluted by big business. Some of which would love to have Pearl  Jam pimp their products.    The only difference between bands that sell out and bands that  dont sell out is the bands that didnt sell out were never  given the chance. Face it, selling out is as American as apple  pie and a 401k plan.    If I was in a band as big as Pearl Jam I would be selling out  faster than you can say Im going to Disneyland.    I would allow my songs to be used as jingles for enriched uranium  if they paid me enough.    If my manager didnt have my cheesy, pensive single playing at  the end of every emotional episode of every two-bit drama on  television I would have her fired.    If they gave me a good enough deal, I would get a Ticketmaster  tramp <!--content-->

<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> stamp.    Before you start accusing me or Pearl Jam of being greedy you  know whats, stop and think for a moment how expensive it is to  live. Then think of how expensive it is for Pearl Jam to live.  They have kids, mortgages, college tuitions, wives who have to  shop, mistresses who need apartments, and those prescription  drugs dont buy themselves.    Sure there are bands that walk the walk and wouldnt take a dime  from a corporation to save a spotted owl. But those bands sell 11  albums a year and play for 100 fans at a venue that doubles as a  furniture store.    The best way for Pearl Jam to spread their message and affect  change is by reaching as many people as possible. Sometimes that  involves producing albums, sometimes that involves selling  concert tickets and sometimes that involves working with  corporate America.    After all, the best way to bring down the machine is from within.  Fight the power and pass me my iPhone.    Copyright 2009, ClickItTicket.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> When I look at all of the tools that Ive used over the years to  sell affiliate products, one has worked better than ALL others.  When, I analyze commissions earned from selling affiliate  products over the past 5 years, one tool has produced more sales  than any others. That magical tool is the lowly, Camtasia video.    For those unfamiliar with Camtasia, its a simple screen capture  program that allows you to record all, or a portion of, your  computer screen. You can make a video demonstrating what youre  doing on your computer as you do it. You can make the video with  or without sound.    There are many reasons Camtasia videos work so well, but two  primary reasons that <!--content-->
<p />
<div STYLE="float: left; overflow: hidden">
</div>
<p> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-ONE--> I use them.    First, Camtasia videos allow you to prove what you assert. For  example, if I just told you that a piece of software was easy to  use, youd probably think, Yes, its easy for you, but I  could never use it. However, if I used the software and  recorded a Camtasia video explaining what I was doing, as I did  it, you would be able to see how simple and easy it was to use.    If I sifted through my Google listings, or my Paypal account, and  recorded it as I did, youd see proof positive of my search  engine rankings, or my Paypal earnings. Camtasia also has a  jump to feature which allows you to automatically send a  viewer to a chosen page at the end of the video. The viewer  doesnt have to click to go to a page, the video automatically  redirects to the indicated url when the movie finishes. This is  very powerful. You can tell a prospect about a product or  service, and then at the end of the video send them directly to a  sales page or order form. Then they only have to decide whether  or not to place the order.    If you are not using Camtasia videos in your affiliate marketing  mix, then you should begin today. Its a very intuitive and easy  to use program.    As I began developing more and more of my own products, I often  even created Camtasia videos for select affiliates. Id create a  video, and have the jump to url specify their <!--content-->

<p /> <!--content--> <!--BLOCK-TWO--> affiliate link.  This made promoting my products virtually NO work. All the  affiliate had to do was tell prospects to watch the video, and  then the video automatically sent the prospect to the affiliate  url at the end, where hopefully the viewer ordered.    I only did this for a few very select affiliates because the  process of creating individual, personalized Camtasia videos was  fairly labor intensive. That only made it worthwhile for  affiliates that I knew would actively promote the video.    Now, any affiliate program manager who is NOT offering branded  Camtasia videos to ALL of his affiliates is just lazy. Thats  because there is now software that automates the process.    There is now a Camtasia brander software that is no more  complicated than having your affiliates visit a website and enter  their affiliate url. They then click a button, and a zip file is  delivered to them that contains personalized branded Camtasia  videos. The affiliates uploads these files to their servers, and  then tells their prospects where to access these videos.    Now, whether you are an affiliate, or an affiliate program  manager, you can utilize the full power of Camtasia videos.

<p><!--content--> <!--BLOCK-THREE--> Camtasia brander, it has to be  because they dont know about it. Tell them about it, so that  they can offer you the most effective affiliate marketing tool  that I have ever seen. If you have an affiliate program, youre  CRAZY if youre not offering your affiliates branded Camtasia  videos. Get a copy of the Camtasia brander today and watch your  sales skyrocket.

It  works because it makes it easy for you to provide the most  important ingredient in the online sales process &#8211; PROOF. It also  allows you to deliver the prospect right to the order form after  youve provided that critical proof. The prospect only has one  easy decision to make.
