Seven Adventures in Creative Thinking


Quote for today:
 “The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what
you have, instead of what you don’t have.”
  ~Woody Allen

Personal growth tends to be a part a part of business
growth. The one compliments the other. Today let’s
concentrate on that personal growth with an article
dealing with one of the many ways we can improve
our business through improving ourself.




Seven Adventures in Creative Thinking

How many times have you caught yourself saying that there could
be no other solution to a problem – and that that problem leads
to a dead end? How many times have you felt stumped knowing that
the problem laying before you is one you cannot solve. No leads.
No options.  No solutions. 

Did it feel like you had exhausted all possible options and yet
are still before the mountain – large, unconquerable, and
impregnable? When encountering such enormous problems, you may
feel like you’re hammering against a steel mountain. The
pressure of having to solve such a problem may be overwhelming.

But rejoice! There might be some hope yet!

With some creative problem-solving techniques you may be able to
look at your problem in a different light. And that light might
just be the end of the tunnel that leads to possible solutions.

First of all, in the light of creative problem-solving, you must
be open-minded to the fact that there may be more than just one
solution to the problem. And, you must be open to the fact that
there may be solutions to problems you thought were unsolvable.

Now, with this optimistic mindset, we can try to be a little bit
more creative in solving our problems.

#1  Maybe the reason we cannot solve our problems is that
we have not really taken a hard look at what the problem is. Here,
trying to understand the problem and having a concrete
understanding of its workings is integral to solving the problem.
If you know how it works, what the problem is, then you have a
better foundation for solving the problem.

Try to make a simple statement of what the problem is. Try to
identify the participating entities and what their relationships
with one another are. Take note of the things you stand to gain
and/or stand to lose from the current problem. Now you have a
simple statement of what the problem is.

#2  Try to take note of all of the constraints and
assumptions that you have used to word the problem. Sometimes it
is these assumptions that obstruct our view of possible solutions.
You have to identify which assumptions are valid, and which
assumptions need to be addressed.

#3  Try to solve the problem by parts. Solve it going
from general view towards the more detailed parts of the problem.
This is called the top-down approach. Write down the question,
and then come up with a one-sentence solution to that part.
The solution should be a general statement of what will solve the
problem. From here you can develop the solution further, and
increase its complexity little by little.

#4  Although it helps to have critical thinking aboard
as you solve a problem, you must also keep a creative, analytical
voice at the back of your head. When someone comes up with a
prospective solution, try to think how you could make that
solution work. Try to be creative. At the same time, look for
holes in the armor of that solution.

#5  It pays to remember that there may be more than just
one solution being developed at one time. Try to keep track of all
the solutions and their developments. Remember, there may be more
than just one solution to the problem.

#6  Remember the old adage,” two heads are better than one.”
That one is truer than it sounds. Always be open to new ideas. You
can benefit from listening to all the ideas each person has. This
is especially true when the person you’re talking to has had
experience solving problems similar to yours.

You don’t have to be a gung-ho, solo hero to solve the problem.
If you can organize collective thought on the subject, it would be
much better.

#7  Be patient. As long as you persevere, there is always
a chance that a solution will present itself. Remember that no one
was able to create an invention the first time around.

Creative thinking exercises can help you in your quest be a more
creative problem solver.

Here is an example:

Take a piece of paper and write any word that comes to mind at the
center. Now look at that word then write the first two words that
come to your mind. This can go on until you can build a tree of
related words. This helps you build analytical skills, and
fortifies your creative processes.

So, next time you see a problem you think you can not solve, think
again. The solution might just be staring you right in the face.
All it takes is just a little creative thinking, some planning, and
some diligent work.

Stick With The Basics

Below is a great article from Charlie Page.  He is one of my favorite authors.
And, he is a fellow Texan.  He is the owner of the Directory of Ezines, so he’s
a very helpful person to know.  A great guy, too.

In his article, Charlie mentions using follow-up with email.  One of the best
services for this is Aweber.  It costs very little and is effective and easy to use.

Charlie also mentions following programs one at a time. I’ve found that one of
the best programs on the net can be found at Turbo Membership. You can get
everything you need to run an online business all in one spot.
Talk about convenient.

Stick With The Basics To Succeed
(c) Charlie Page
http://www.RealWorldTactics.com
——————————————-

I think we have all asked the same question at one time
or another. That question is …

“What does it really take to succeed online?”

If we listen to the emails and websites we read, we
hear many strong opinions.

Does this advice sound familiar?

* “Create your own product”
* “Do joint ventures with the big marketers!”
* “Pay per click advertising is all you need”
* “Display Google AdSense ads and get rich!”
* “Learn Web 2.0 or be left behind!”

And they always make it sound SO MUCH EASIER than it
really is, while loudly proclaiming that their way is
the only way.

And yet we know that cannot be true.

So … what DOES it take to succeed online?

While I will not pretend to have all the answers, I
will share openly what has worked (and is working now)
for me and my clients as well.

Experience has proven that focusing on these seven
basics will yield results, no matter what market you
are attempting to reach or product you are promoting.

You can do more than these things and succeed online,
but these seven basics represent a solid foundation for
success.

1. YOU NEED A WEBSITE TO SUCCEED

It used to be that email was enough. But today you need
a website. The reason for this is that search engines
and article directories are penalizing affiliate
marketers like never before.

While there is not room here to fully cover this issue,
the days of becoming an affiliate and promoting only
your affiliate link, without having your own site, are
coming to a close.

It is incredibly ironic that this vital beginning step
is the step where so many people fail.

Creating a website can be hard if you don’t know how.
But there are solutions.

One solution is blogging.

Using Blogger.com, you really can put meaningful
content on the web today, and do it free.

Another solution is to use a service like Site Build It
that helps non-techies like me build sites –beautiful
and functional sites.

Another solution is hiring your own programmer via a
service like Elance. This really works, and for only a
few dollars you can have you own website quickly.
If you have ever struggled to create a website, if you
have been confused by HTML editors and all the
technical mumbo-jumbo, try one of these solutions
today.

2. USE EMAIL TO FOLLOW UP

This is probably the #1 piece of advice I give clients,
and it works almost every time. But SO few actually do
anything about it.

The logic is undeniable.

If your site is wildly successful, over 90% of first
time visitors will NOT buy on their first visit!

You read that right - most people would be THRILLED
with a 10% “conversion rate”.

But even a 10% closing rate means that 90% of people
visiting the site do NOT buy!

Now here’s the $64,000 question …

How are they going to remember to return to your site,
when there are billions of sites online, many of which
are probably your competitors?

You MUST remind them to come back. You must woo them
back with enticing offers and give them solid reasons
to do business with you. And nothing does that better
than email.

If spending money is an issue, you can create a follow
up system free at SendFree.com

3. LET THEM HEAR YOUR VOICE

There is no doubt about it … content is king. People
come online to find answers to their questions and
solutions to their problems.

When your site is the one providing those answers and
solutions, people will buy.

But first things first - people have to find your site.
And that means getting listed in the search engines.
And getting listed in the search engines means
providing new content as often as you can.

I suggest adding content to your site every day, or at
least every week.

The great thing here is that you don’t have to write
it! If you can write your own content, by all means do
that. People love to hear from other real people, much
more than they want to hear from some slick marketer.

If you can’t write, or just don’t want to, then look
for resale rights products that offer articles.

Using Google, just enter this search phrase. “resale
rights” + articles You will find lots of sites offering
pre-written articles that you can use as content on
your website after modifying them to make them unique.

If you do have your own blog you can even invite others
to post and let them create the content of your site
for you! A true win-win.

4. BE COMMITTED

Here is a huge mistake that is made over and over again
by very well-meaning people.

They join a program, try making it work for six or
seven weeks, then quit when things don’t happen as
quickly as they were lead to believe.

This is an understandable situation, but one that will
lead to failure every time.

The fact is, success takes time. Just as you would not
expect to open a pizza shop in your town and become an
overnight success, so too you should not expect
immediate success online.

It can happen, but it is rare, no matter how many say
they have done it.

The key here is to do your homework before committing
to any program or business.

‘Doing your homework’ includes asking questions,
hearing from people who have succeeded with the
program, getting wise counsel from people you respect,
and taking the time to think it through.

Once you find a product or program you believe in, make
a commitment to stick with it until you have tried
everything possible to succeed.

That commitment will take time to accomplish, and you
might just find that an extra month or three of hard
work is the key that unlocks the success you desire.

5. EXPAND SLOWLY

There are many ways to make money on the Internet.
There are even more ways to advertise or promote a
product or program.

And that wide variety of choice is often the downfall
of many a well-meaning person who is new to the ways of
the Internet.

The best advice here is to choose one or two methods of
marketing, and get a deep knowledge of what to do in
each before moving forward.

One way to do that is to make a list of all the
possible ways you could use to promote your offer. Then
number the list, making #1 the method you think would
be most likely to succeed.

Learn all you can about that method, moving on to your
second choice only when you feel you have mastered the
first tactic.

Doing this will help you save money, sell more
products, and help you become an expert at marketing
online, which will give you the power to sell any
product to any market any time you want!

6. DEVELOP SALES RESISTANCE

This might sound odd coming from a guy who sells things
online for a living, but it’s a big one. So big, I
almost made this number 1!

If you and I were to count how many products we have
bought in the last 12 months that are going unused now,
we might get downright depressed!

It’s a fact, Internet marketers know how to sell. Their
sites know how to get us to take action now, and boy do
we buy. We buy things we don’t need, and sometimes we
buy the same thing over and over again!

The way to develop sales resistance, and keep more of
your money in your pocket where it belongs, is to ask
questions. Here are four that I ask before buying
anything.

* Do I really need this now?
* Do I already own it, or own a similar product?
* What problem will this purchase solve?
* What is my specific plan for using this product in
  the next 24 hours?

I believe that we should buy what we need to succeed,
be that information, or a service, or a product to
sell.

You simply cannot make money without spending money.
But spending wisely is a must!

7. BE REALISTIC

We touched on this in point 4, but it’s worth another
look. My friend, sites that say you will earn $20,000,
$50,000 or more in the next 30 days no matter what your
current level of experience is are lying to you.

We live in an amazing time. The Internet has opened new
possibilities to anyone with a connection and a burning
desire to succeed. And that is a wonderful thing, one
that will literally change our world.

But it takes skills and time to succeed online, and
there is no getting around that.

Can you make a living online? For most people, the
answer is YES. But that yes must be tempered with the
knowledge that it takes work, certain skills, some
startup money, and time to succeed online.

If you are realistic, it can work.

The seven secrets revealed above have passed the test
of time, working for people on almost every continent
and in every economic circumstance.

Let me encourage you to take these seven secrets and
make them your own. Take time to choose what you want
to accomplish online, then take action today using
these seven secrets as your guide.

Henry David Thoreau said “If one advances confidently
in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live
the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a
success unexpected in common hours.”

Nowhere is that statement more true than on the
Internet. I hope this year is all you dream it to be.

I’ve got all this information, but where do I start?


An understandable question, as when you’re presented with new information, it’s sometimes hard to find a clear starting point. Not because anyone is thick, but because this is natural with new information, no matter what it is. Getting started is the hardest part.

So, how do you get started?  Well, the simple answer is, by asking that question, you’ve started already.  People often don’t even realize that they have done so.  Congrats on taking your first steps towards where you want to be.

With regard to online marketing, no matter where you are in your career, the starting place is always the same. No matter if you have a stash of affiliates or a big list and previous customers already, in fact that’s great. Whatever you do, don’t feel like you have to ditch everything and start all over again. This is not the case. I would say that all businesses start with five things:

 1.  An idea and a desire to develop that idea,

 2.  The tools you need to do so, ( I Highly Recommend you go here: TurboMembership.  You will get the best possible tools and hosting.)

 3.  The preparation and groundwork to make it all possible,

 4.  A budget, and

 5.  A market for your product.

Without an idea you’re going nowhere. With a good idea, on the other hand, you’re on your way to multiple products that you can create and sell at different prices that will no doubt spawn other ideas. If you want to take things further, you need to keep your mind open, and always look at ways of developing and evolving that original idea into the best possible form for the people who are going to be buying it and spawning more ideas from your original plan.

Before you get started you’re also going to need the tools that will form the basis of your business.  There really isn’t much out there that you literally need to be successful. The only things that you’ll really need to shell out for are, an affiliate script or membership, access to tracking tools, autoresponders to maintain your list, and hosting for your websites/salespages.  (Once again, these tools are readily available at TurboMembership.  TurboMembership is run by John Delavera, one of the best top online marketers and he’s been around for quite some time.)  That’s really very little compared to the earning potential that they bring you. What’s more, they’re all one off purchases that you won’t have to spend money on over and over again. This is a pretty good deal when you consider in most peoples eyes you need to shell out for promotion on top of that. We now know that this is not the case at all. This is also relevant to your budget, which doesn’t have to be huge.

Once those tools are set up, that’s most of your preparation and groundwork done. All you need to do is slot a product into your sales system each time and off you go.

Finally, a target market, someone to sell your products to. Unless you’re super brainy and come up with a totally original idea, it’s likely there are other products out there already trying to solve the same problems for  customers. Do some research to check out the competition, but don’t be overwhelmed by it all. There’s plenty of space for everyone. And hey, competition for your brand new idea is a good thing, because this means there’s already a market for your product, and people with access to the customers that you need to be getting in touch with to sell it. This should put your mind at ease right away.

Lastly, and most importantly, where ever you decide to start, please do start. I’m here giving you all this information but you must do something with it. Ask yourself, in the last six months, how far has my business moved forward? Then ask yourself how far do you want to move forward in the next six months. Do you really want to repeat everything at the same speed, or could you knuckle down and get double, triple or even quadruple the amount of work done through eliminating distractions and focusing on the solution not the problem. That’s totally in your hands now, but do start. Start today.

How do I build my list?

One of the most frequently asked questions in the online marketing scene that comes especially from people who haven’t created their own products yet, is how do I build my list. Everyone has grasped the concept of building your own media outlet, that you can promote to again and again without having to pay a penny, that usually consists of the most targeted people, and those who are going to buy your products on the grounds of trust and the quality of your previous work.

And right there, that is the key to it all. By the time you have your own list that stretches over the five thousand mark, you should at least have one product, and the majority of people should have come from the promotion of that product. Avoid anything that asks you for cash to put subscribers on your list, because, if you haven’t tried them already, let me assure you that compared to what you can achieve through joint ventures and other means, the quality of the list will suffer although not necessarily it’s size. As we talked about above however, it’s the quality that matters for both your current promotion and your future promotion. Size is definitely not everything here.

The ways in which we’re building your list don’t involve direct methods. Something that you can plug money into to, wake up in the morning and suddenly have a massive responsive list to promote to. Agreed you might end up with a massive list but they’ll be far from responsive. Concentrate your efforts on promoting your products and at the same time, whatever action someone takes through your sites, make sure that they end up on one of your lists. If we look at things this way, all it takes is for them to either buy something, signup for something, jump into some follow-up, join your affiliate program and so on.

Never create anything that allows customers to go through the sales process on your site, or any process at all for that matter, and then lose contact with them. This is not the way to do things. Of course, speed is also an issue for many people out there. I’m sure you don’t want to be hanging around only to find a few years later that your list has only reached two or three thousand subscribers. You want a lot, you want a big list and you want it quickly. I understand how it is and I hate waiting for things to build up over time too. This is exactly why we make sure that everything you do, related to your site, involves collecting names and email addresses for your list at some point or another.

Let’s look at some numbers starting off with the simple joint ventures. Say for example you score a joint venture that brings you two thousand visits from someone’s personal list. Now with standard e-zines I can understand how you might not see this as being much, as the number of people who subscribe, compared to the number of people that visit, can indeed be lower than you expect. But through joint ventures, with these quality lists, I’ve seen subscription rates top one in three, and it’s not unusual for at least 25% of your visitors to subscribe to something if your sales copy is doing its job.

That may not seem like a lot right now, but let’s say you take ten joint ventures and manage to pull in a list of 5k, which shouldn’t be too much of a problem if the quality of your JV’s is nice and high and you get a good number of visits. A 5k list is all great, and you’ll also be making money through sales on those joint ventures. Although when you start to couple in your affiliate commissions that you make sure are real high, in fact, so high that you may not even be making a direct profit, the resources will sail in.

This is your profit. Not the money from the sales, but the resources that you’re building. This is why you gave up $50 per sale, and it’s your affiliates coupled with joint ventures that are going to, if you’ll excuse the cliche’, set your list building on fire, not just numbers wise, but speed wise. Every single time you release a new product, you’re going to be adding more and more people to your lists that you can promote to and have promote for you. It’s another snowball effect, which is great because this means that you know the more you put in, the more you’re going to get out, and every single product that you release will increase your resources, your list size included, and will add to your promotion power for future products. Thus you’ll make a whole load more cash than you would have done by other means and methods.

Before we move on I want to make one hundred percent sure that you understand how this works. People create their own list building sites that are geared directly to building their lists. This is great, it works, but when guides tell you that you should concentrate all your efforts on building your list, it kind of makes me a little bit angry sometimes, for the simple reason that they’re not giving you the whole story by far. It’s ok to look at list building as one of your main priorities, and indeed it should be, along with building affiliates, customers, long term customers and joint venture prospects, but for it to be successful, you have to integrate it into your other marketing methods, and this is what most fail to tell you.

Once you’ve mastered this and understand, again, how each of these resources tie into each other, and cannot be seen as separate entities, you’ll start to see bigger and better results, and they will come more quickly too. Now if you think about what I’ve just told you, and step back, you should be able to see immediately how this isn’t a case of go out and get as big a list as possible, as quickly as possible, on your own. This is what many guides teach, but as with the success of the whole system it’s tying resources in together through the launch of your own products.

Writing Your Resource Box To Make More People Click

The internet is the information super-highway, this phrase has
been used so many times that it could be nominated for the
“Internet Cliche’ Award”. People that go to the internet are
subdivided into groups, but generally, they are out to search for
information. Whether for gaming, business, fun or anything
else, the internet provides us with information that has proved
to be very beneficial.

In recent years many people have learned the secrets of Search
Engine Optimization. More and more sites have seen the
positive effects that articles have had for the traffic of their sites.
Some have even created sites devoted entirely to providing
articles. Website visitors can read the articles and get links to
lead to many other sites that are related to the topics and
subjects of those articles.

For example, the sites may feature many articles about a whole
lot of topics. As a website visitor reads the articles they have
searched for, at the end of the article they can find a resource
box that links them to the site that has submitted the article. Of
course the article would be in relation to the site. Lets say if the
article is about rotating tires, the resource box may lead to a link
to a site that sells tires or car parts.

A resource box is what you usually find at the end of an article. It
contains the name of the author, a brief description of the
author, a brief description of the sponsoring site and a link. If a
reader likes what they read, they would have the tendency to
find out where the article came from to read more. The resource
box will be their link to the source of the article and this will
entice them to go to the site and do some more reading or
research for the subject or topic they are interested in.

But like the article itself, the resource box must also be eye-
catching to demand the attention and interest of the reader.
While the resource box encompasses only a small space,
providing the right keywords and content for your resource box
will provide more encouragement for the reader to go to your
site.

Now we know what resource boxes are, what are the benefits
of having a good resource box? Mainly its driving traffic to your
site. Many sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites
because they can make use of the articles to fill their pages.
They also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial
for them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people
to click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be
counted upon as potential customers.

So what would be good content for your resource box? Basically
it is keywords, learning about the proper keywords that people
are mainly searching for. There are many tools you can find on
the internet that can help you in determining what keywords to
use. Good Keywords is a free tool you can get at
http://www.softnik.com to determine how much a particular term
is searched for.  Then, check if people are buying in relation to
these keywords by checking how much people are bidding on
these keywords. You can check this at http://www.Overture.com
and http://adwords.google.com

Resource boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can
get. You only get a small space for your resource box so you
better make the most of it. Try to catch the attention of your
reader with resource box content that can make them give a
second look. Unlike TV ads, you don’t have visual aids to drive
your point in. But you do have the power of imagination of a
reader. With the right content, you can make them think and
become interested.

Another tip is to use keywords that are related to your site. Do
not mislead your potential website visitors. Build your credibility
so that more people would get enticed to visit your site and
browse what you have to offer. Make the people click your
resource box by providing resource box content that makes a
lasting impression. You only get one chance to wow them and
hundreds of chances to repulse them.

Never underestimate the power of the resource box. It may be
small in size, but it will provide a huge aid in driving traffic to
your site. A boring resource box will never get the job done. Be
fun and creative but at the same time show that you have a
great deal to offer.

Software Benefits: Save Time AND Money

After you read this article, feel free to download the following two e-books.
They have great information related to this article.
Feel free to pass both e-books along to anyone. Or, sell to your customers.
It’s your choice. This one’s on me.

* My gifts to loyal blog readers here at the Net Worth Blog 4 U:
Using Articles To Build Your Business
Subdomains - The Simple Way To Boost Profits And Save Money
______________________

ARTICLE:

Two of the greatest benefits of using software is the fact that it
saves you time AND money.  Software can automate just about
anything nowadays.

Let’s look at two things that software can do for us in our business lives:

Save Time

Automate menial tasks and you can use that time toward leisure
activities or finding new ways to make money.  The choice is yours.

Do you have time to put all those articles to work?
Do you have lots of articles sitting on your PC, but haven’t the knowledge
or time to turn them all into moneymaking websites?  Now there is a
quick and easy way to turn any set of text or HTML articles
into a complete, ready to use website, packed with money-making adverts,
search engine optimization solutions and special visitor friendly features like
matching videos, language translation and automated search tools.

The Article Site Power Kit is a complete, easy to use collection of software
tools and ready to use templates, all designed to help you generate quality
article websites in minutes.

With these superb tools, you can save tons of time and immediately start
generating revenue from your article content.

Save Money

We can save money by using software.  The right software can
allow you to complete tasks yourself that you otherwise would
have to pay someone else to do.

How can subdomains save you money?
Subdomains are a largely unused resource included with many web-hosting
accounts that can be used both to boost your profits and save you money.
Here in a nutshell is why using subdomains can be so beneficial.

Consider which of the following adverts will get more clicks:

Lose weight now
Great weight loss program
mysite.com/weight-loss

Lose weight now
Great weight loss program
weight-loss.mysite.com

The answer is that the second advert will generate more response because
the link that the visitor will click on has weight-loss at the start. It looks
like it’s a complete site on the subject of weight loss.
The second advert will get a similar response to having the URL weight-loss.com.
However creating a subdomain is somewhat cheaper and easier than buying a
separate domain name for each thing you want to promote (and its unlikely that
you could get hold of a good domain name like weight-loss.com).

This benefit applies equally well to search engine listings and to paid adverts
(such as Adwords). It means that you are more likely to get clicks and visitiors
even if your site is not the first one in the listings.

Quick Tip: Using subdomains in this way works best with a
short domain name – the shorter the better. It doesn’t matter if the term makes
no sense (in fact it can be beneficial). Consider buying a name like wfwh.com
(just a random set of 4 letters) - then create all your websites as subdomains
of this term.

As you can see, subdomains can increase click-through rates on adverts and
search engine listings. They are also treated as separate domains by the search
engines, bringing many benefits for SEO.  Now that you can see the benefits of subdomains, I recommend you look at this Instant Empire Builder software - the
ultimate easy way to build subdomains.

With this software you can build dozens or even hundreds of subdomains with
just a few mouse-clicks. This means that you can use subdomains to promote
every single niche or keyword you want, with almost zero effort…
Here’s the Quick And Easy way to build your own money-making niche
empire and save over $1,000 a year.

Educating Through Video

Lots of people are asking questions
about audio/video on websites.  So, I am writing you an article
about this subject.  If you like this article, then let me know and I will include further information on this
subject in futre posts of your NetWorth Blog4U.

 Subject:  Educating Through Video

People from third-world or developing countries who want to get
updated or advanced education from industrialized nations are
having a hard time, mostly because of immigration or visa
requirements.  This is much true in countries like Japan, the
United States and the United Kingdom, whose immigration
qualifications are very stringent.  In some countries, the United
States requires that a certain amount be placed in trust as a
bond to ensure that visitors do return to their countries of
origin.

Educators in these developed countries recognize the desire of
foreign students to experience superior standards in
education.  This is where the internet becomes a central tool in
global, quality education.

If you go online today, you will find plenty of colleges,
universities and even Ivy League institutions offering online
education ranging from certification, degree, post graduate and
doctorate level courses.  These online schools and universities
are certainly convenient for those who cannot enter developed
countries due to lack of qualifications for visa approval
requirements.

In the domestic front, these online schools become an
alternative to the physically handicapped or mentally ill.  For
people with motor dysfunctions such as Parkinson’s disease,
online education becomes a saving grace in their lives.  It not
only becomes convenient, but it also provides these people with
a connection to the world right in their own homes.  Having the
burden of education addressed by the internet is a convenience
for the operators of care facilities as they can exclusively use
these online schools for the education of their patients or as
extra sources and materials used in their curriculum.

With all of these in mind, new materials and tools for online
instruction need to be developed.  Foremost among these necessary
tools is audio and video streaming through the internet.
Audio-video streaming allows for two people to instantly
communicate from distinctly separate locations.  An instructor
can use the internet to talk to his or her student face to face,
so to speak.

One thing our educators agree upon is that there is no better
teacher than experience.  In recent years, companies started
manufacturing educational videos for use by infants.  By using
these video, infants are projected to start learning at an
earlier age than before.  Because of the audio-video experience,
the attention given to these videos by an infant is considerably
more than they would give to a children’s book.  In being able to
grab attention and interest, the video succeeds in educating the
mind of the child.

In the same manner, the use of audio and video in the education
of older children, juveniles and adults is a more interesting
and entertaining experience than a plain chemistry book.  With a
person actually able to see the animated structure of an atom,
the curiosity of that individual is stimulated.  When people
become curious, their imagination becomes active and they strive
to gather more information about the subject.

This is where the importance of education through video lies.
The content (assuming that it is interesting) grabs the viewers’
attention and stirs their curiosity, thereby stimulating a
thirst for knowledge.
 
As internet audio-video streaming technology improves, the more
use they will become to online educational institutions.  People
who have knowledge of how to install and use these utilities are
quickly becoming assets to many entrepreneurs, especially those
businesses that are situated in the internet.

To your success,
Tommy Linsley.

 P.S.  The use of video streaming technology by websites has
          ballooned significantly.  Even websites designed by amateurs and
          those people who have their own blog sites are starting to
          sprout videos.  Video streaming is starting to grow. You might
          want to grow with it.

For more information, and a way you can become an asset to
website builders I encourage you to check out this
Web Multimedia Toolkit.

7 Ways To Write Quicker

SUBJECT:   “7 Turbo Writing Tips…” 

Are you an article writer or an e-book writer?  If so, how long
does it take you to write?  Do you wish that you could write
quicker, but without having to compromise the quality of your
work?  If so, you can.  There are a number of different methods
that you can use to write quicker, while keeping the quality of
your work the same or even improving it.  Just a few of these
methods, seven to be exact, are outlined below.

(1)  Comfort - If you would like to write quicker, you need to
find a setting that you feel comfortable in.  In addition to
actually feeling comfortable, you need to be comfortable.
Whether you want to work from your bed or outdoors, only you
can decide this.  You are also urged to dress comfortably.
When writers are comfortable, they are able to work
quicker, and also produce better work. 

(2)  Distractions - Dispell as many distractions as possible.
Although this may seem difficult, it doesn’t have to be.  For
instance, if you are a work-at-home parent, you can try sending
your child to daycare, even if it is only one day a week.  You
can also try working during nap times or even at night, after
your child has gone to sleep.  The elimination of distractions
is a great way to write quicker.  In fact, this is known to
reduce, or completely eliminate, the chances of developing writers
block.

(3)  Typing - Do you consider yourself to be fast at typing?  If
you type less than fifty words per minute (wpm), you may want to
think about taking a typing class.  One of the many problems
that e-book writers face is that their fingers don’t go as fast
as their minds do.  Once your typing improves to a quicker
speed, you may notice a significant improvement in the amount of
time that it takes you to write.  If you don’t have time to type, then
you could always dictate and have someone else do the typing.
(College students will work for cheap.)

(4)  Outlines - If you are an e-book writer who currently doesn’t
use an outline, please think about doing so. Outlines
are relatively easy to develop and they have an unlimited number
of benefits.  One of those benefits is that you know exactly
what to write and how to write it.  This means that you can just
focus on writing and not necessarily thinking about your next
step. This, alone, can save you a considerable amount of time. 

(5)  Spell Check - Spell check, without a doubt, is important to
any e-book.  That is why it is important that you do it, but you
may want to write first and spell check later.  If you use a
program like Microsoft Word, all of your misspelled words will
be highlighted and waiting for you. For that reason, you are
advised to wait until the end.  Doing so will eliminate small
breaks; breaks that may bring on a case of writers block.

(6)  Proofreading - As with spell checking, proofreading is
extremely important.  Many e-book authors like to proofread
after writing a chapter or a paragraph.  If at all possible,
please don’t do this. You could write now and
proofread later. Once you get on a roll with writing, you may
not want to stop.  In the end, you may find that it results in
you being able to finish your work quicker.

(7)  Time - You are advised to not worry about time.  Even if you
are on a deadline, you are urged to take your time and not think
about it.  Worrying about just how much time it takes you to
write will have a negative impact on your work.  In fact, it is
likely to result in more mistakes.  Those mistakes take time to
fix.  If you are looking to write quicker, you should try
focusing on your writing, rather than time itself.  You may be
surprised just how much it helps!

The above mentioned “write quicker methods” are just a few of the
many that exist.  As you likely already know, what works for
someone else, might not work for you.  With that in mind, you
are still advised to give the above mentioned approaches a chance.
What do you have to lose? 

To your success,
Tommy Linsley.

 P.S.  Writing faster is a lot easier than many people think.  If you
          put your mind to it, you could be writing faster in no time at all.

More Visitors = More Sales

More Vistors = More Sales

Affiliate program participants rely on sales to make money with
affiliate programs.  The only thing is that many new
participants forget that they also need to rely on website
traffic.  After all, without traffic, no one will be able to see
your affiliate products, let alone buy them.  That is why, if
you are in an affiliate program, you need to work on increasing
your traffic.  There are a number of steps that you can take to
increase your traffic.  Just three of these steps are outlined
below.

STEP # 1  SEO

If you are an established webmaster, you likely already know
what SEO is.  If not, you need to familiarize yourself with it
right away.  SEO, which is also known as search engine
optimization, may have an important impact on the success of
your website, even its failure.

The goal of search engine optimization (SEO) is to increase your
search engine ranking.  Having a high search engine ranking
increases your chances of seeing traffic from search engines.
Search engine optimization encompasses a number of different
methods, but one of the most important is content. You need to
have content on your website; it is what search engines pickup.
You will also want to use keyword tracking tools; they enable
you to determine what keyword phrases internet users are
searching with.  Using those keyword phrases on your website is
sure to increase your website traffic.

STEP # 2  Article Distribution

Have you heard of article directories before?  Article
directories are websites that act as hosts for collections of
articles.  They often contain a large collection of articles,
sometimes even millions of articles.  In exchange for providing
your content free of charge, article directories will allow you
to insert a link at the end of your article.  This link should
direct readers to your online website, namely the page that
outlines the affiliate products that you are selling.  Not only
will it help to increase your website traffic, but your sales
may also increase.

When it comes to submitting to article directories, which is
often referred to as articles distribution, you are advised to
create yourself a schedule.  To effectively use article
distribution, you need to submit multiple articles.  In fact,
the more articles the better.  You should create a goal for
yourself, like submitting at least five articles a month.  It is
also important that you create content that is relevant to your
website.  If it is not, your readers might not click on your
link; thus defeating the purpose of submitting to article
directories.

STEP #3  Blogging

Over the past few years, the popularity of blogging has
skyrocketed.  In addition to personal blogs, a large number of
online businesses are now relying on blogs to help increase
their website traffic, and you can too.  Blogs are nice because
you are given choices.  You can create your own, free blog or
you can pay to have your blog hosted on your own domain name.

When creating a blog, you can create your own content, which may
include product reviews or recommendations. In fact, you don’t
even have to write your own content.  You can use content from
many free article directories; many will give you free usage
rights.  Speaking of article directories, if you submitted your
own articles, you can even use them for your blog.  The only
thing you need to remember is to link back to your original
webpage.  Doing so in each blog post will help to increase your
traffic.

The above mentioned three traffic increasing steps are just a
few of the many that you can take.  These three; however, are a
few of the easiest ways that you can go about increasing your
website traffic.  With a small amount of effort, you can easily
see an increase in traffic, in what seems like no time at all.
In fact, you will not only see an increase in traffic, but you
may also see an increase in your affiliate sales.

To your success,
Tommy Linsley.

 P.S.  Increasing your website traffic will not only look good for
          your website, but it may also help your pockets, money wise.

Can You Make Money Without A Product?

 Subject:  Make Money, No Product Required

Would you like to make money by selling products online?  If so,
do you already have a collection of products to sell?  If not,
do you have the money needed to obtain them? If you are like
many others, who want to make money online, there is a good
chance that you do not have the funds needed.  After all, if you
did, you likely would not be looking for ways to make money
online.  While you might automatically assume that it is
impossible for you to make money online, especially if you don’t
have any products to sell, it isn’t. There is good news. That
good news is that you can make money, a substantial amount of
money, even if you don’t actually have a product to sell.

As it was stated above, there are a large number of individuals
who want to make money online; however, many think that it is
impossible to do because they don’t already have a collection of
products or they don’t have the money needed to make the
purchases.  Unfortunately, when this occurs, a large number of
individuals just give up. You are advised against doing this.
As previously mentioned, it IS possible to make money online,
even if you don’t have any products to sell. You can do so with
affiliate programs.

Affiliate programs are programs that create a partnership with
business owners and webmasters.  If you are already a webmaster
this is great, but if not you can easily become one.  As you
likely already know, a webmaster is an individual who owns and
operates their own online website.  Once you have a website and
you find another business, which is running an affiliate
program, you can enter into a partnership with them.  This
partnership is unique because you can both benefit from it.
Affiliate programs work to help business owners increase their
sales, but they also help webmasters generate extra income. 

Although affiliate programs sound nice, you may be looking for
more information. After all, with internet scams at an all time
high, you can never be too cautious.  While some affiliate
programs are operated in different ways, they tend to be
operated in similar matters.  This matter involves the business
owner creating links or banners for webmasters, just like you,
to display on their website.  Special tracking software, which
is often referred to as affiliate tracking software, is used.
That software will enable a business owner to determine exactly
when you helped them generate a sale and how much that sale was.
This sale will, in turn, generate additional income for you by
way of commissions.  The amount of money that you make will all
depend on the affiliate program that you choose to join, but
your commission is often a percentage of your sale. In some
instances, can also be a flat rate amount.

When it comes to affiliate programs, one of the questions most
commonly asked is why?  As previously mentioned, affiliate
programs allow you to make money selling a product that isn’t
even yours.  This means that you do not have to deal with any
inventory. You also don’t have to ship any products to the
buyers.  In fact, you shouldn’t even have to communicate with
your customers. Your affiliate partner, the one who is selling
the product, will do all of the work for you.  What could be
easier than that?

If you are interested in making money online, without having to
have your own products to sell, you are urged to further examine
affiliate programs, namely the programs that are available for
you to join.  You can find these programs by examining large
affiliate hosting programs, such as LinkShare.  You can also
find affiliate programs to join by examining the online websites
of various online retail stores.  Typically towards the bottom
of the main homepage, a business will outline whether or not
they have an affiliate program that you can apply to.  If you
are really looking to make money online, you are urged to find a
product, a service, or a company that you can fully stand
behind, one hundred percent.  ( Recommendation:  Earn 95% commissions
and get products you can sell as your own at TurboMembership.com )

To your success,
Tommy Linsley
Tommy@NetWorth4U.com

 P.S.  Isn’t it amazing that you can make money selling products,
         without having to handle your own inventory?  The quicker you
         sign for an affiliate program, the quicker you can start making money! 

 P.S.S.  There is a place called TurboMembership.  You can make
             95% commission, host as many websites as you want, you
             can even develop you’re own products and use the Turbo
             sales manager to manage your sales/customers in a central
             location just like the pros do it.
