Ah, lagian siapa sih yang bakalan nyuruh membolak-balik kata atau naskah? Memang nggak ada. Memang cuma kerjaan orang iseng. Iseng tapi KREATIF. Itu kata kuncinya. Karena hidup itu perlu variasi. Jangan monoton!

AUDIGIBOOK GRATIS: KONTEMPLASI DIGITAL

2009-12-20T09:29:00.000-08:00

Audigibook (audio digital book) adalah istilah yang saya ciptakan untuk menyebut ebook yang berupa audio. Saya lebih memilih menggunakan istilah ini ketimbang audio-ebook. Ini hanya soal selera, tetapi istilah ini kemungkinan belum pernah digunakan sebelumnya, karena saya tidak menemukan istilah audigibook ketika saya search menggunakan keyword ini di Google.

Kelebihan audigibook adalah filenya sangat kecil bila dibanding format mp3 yang saat ini diklaim paling kecil. Kenapa bisa begitu? Karena dalam audigibook, file audionya dimampatkan lagi sedemikian rupa hinga titik terendah, namun tetap masih bisa dinikmati dengan baik.

Seri audigibook kontemplasi ini berisi paparan kontemplatif sederhana bernuansa religi dengan durasi antara 2 hingga 4 menit. Tidak ada maksud menggurui, sekadar mengajak untuk merenung, tanpa harus membaca teks. Cukup menggunakan telinga, tak perlu mata. Besarnya file bervariasi antara 0,9 Mb hingga 1,4 Mb, jauh lebih kecil jika dibandingkan dengan file Mp3 standar dengan durasi yang sama. Sebagai perbandingan, Mp3 standar berdurasi 3 menit besarnya sekitar 3 hingga 5 Mb.

Jika Anda berminat memilikinya silakan pilih yang Anda sukai, for free, di bawah ini:

SEJUTA KOIN UNTUK PRITA (versi kartu elektronik)

2009-12-09T09:36:00.000-08:00

Kalau kemarin saya membuat lagu SEJUTA KOIN UNTUK PRITA dalam format MP3, kali ini saya membuat versi kartu elektroniknya. Dilengkapi dengan gambar Prita dan scrolling lyrics, lagu ini tidak perlu diputar menggunakan player seperti Winamp dsb., melainkan langsung di dalam kartu. Kelebihan lainnya adalah kualitasnya audionya ternyata lebih bagus versi kartu, meski pun bitrate-nya sama-sama diturunkan agar filenya tidak terlalu besar.

Teman-teman bisa membantu menyebarkannya dengan mendownload kartu tsb. (943 Kb) di:

Download di Ziddu? Kayaknya Nggak Deh..

2008-09-20T16:30:00.000-07:00

Belakangan ini ada trend baru di kalangan teman-teman yang penyedia file gratisan (ebook, lagu, video, dll.). Kalau dulu mereka menyimpan atau mengunggah (upload) file di tempat lain (rapidshare, eSnips, dll.), kini banyak yang memindahkan file milik mereka ke ziddu (www.ziddu.com). Apa pasal?

Ternyata banyak yang tertarik dengan iming-iming dollar, meski jumlahnya relatif kecil. Untuk setiap file di ziddu yang didownload oleh orang lain, sang pemilik file akan menerima USD 0,01 (kalau nggak salah). Tak heran jika banyak orang yang berbondong-bondong menyimpan file mereka di situs ini. Perhitungannya, barangkali, meski mereka tidak mengkomersialkan alias menggratiskan file yang mereka simpan di ziddu, tetapi mereka tetap mendapatkan uang.

Sayangnya, men-download file di ziddu sangat tidak nyaman. Paling tidak itu kesan yang saya dapatkan ketika beberapa kali 'terpaksa' harus men-download di sana. Iklannya sangat banyak, dan sebagian besar berupa banner image (gambar) statis dan animasi, sehingga loading halaman demi halaman menjadi sangat lambat. Padahal untuk mendownload satu file saja kita dipaksa untuk membuka beberapa halaman. Ini membuat saya malas.

Tapi jika sekedar mencoba, atau jika Anda memang tahan dengan segala ketidaknyamanan itu, ya nggak masalah. Silakan download di sana. Namun jika Anda seperti saya, lebih baik cari alternatif situs lain yang lebih nyaman dan menyenangkan.

10 Amazing Ways To Jump Start Your Sales

2007-09-05T09:36:00.000-07:00

Find a strategic business partner. Look for ones that have the same objective. You can trade leads, share marketing info, sell package deals, etc.
Brand your name and business. You can easily do this by just writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or web sites for republishing.
Start an auction on your web site. The type of auction could be related to the theme of your site. You'll draw traffic from auctioneers and bidders.
Remember to take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the difference between success and failure.
Model other successful business or people. I'm not saying out right copy them, but practice some of the same habits that have made them succeed.
Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes businesses don't want to advertise unless it's free, sometimes you have to spend money to get results.
Include emotional words in your advertisements. Use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, etc.
Ask people online to review your web site. You can use the comments you get to improve your web site or you may turn the reviewer into a customer.
Out source part of your workload. You'll save on most employee costs. You could out source your secretarial work, accounting, marketing, etc.
Combine a product and service together in a package deal. It could increase your sales. If you're selling a book, offer an hour of consulting with it.

I'm so sorry for all that happened.

10 Killer Ways To Multiply Your Sales

2007-08-26T08:19:00.000-07:00

When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer. You could follow-up with a "thank you" email and include an advertisement for other products you sell. You could follow-up every few months.
You could upsell to your customers. When they're at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They could just add it to their original order.
Tell your customers if they refer four customers to your web site, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales.
When you sell a product, give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply the sale you just made.
Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products. You could include an ad on or with the product for other products you sell. You could make sales for the reproduction rights and sales on the back end product. 6. You could cross promote your product with other businesses' products in a package deal. You can include an ad or flyer for other products you sell and have other businesses selling for you.
When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This will attract them to buy more products from you.
Send your customers a catalog of add-on products for the original product they purchased. This could be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product they will buy the extra add-ons.
Sell gift certificates for your products. You'll make sales from the purchase of the gift certificate, when the recipient cashes it in. They could also buy other items from your web site.
Send your customers free products with their product package. The freebies should have your ad printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball caps, t-shirts etc. This will allow other people to see your ad and order.

Kalender Abadi dengan Viral Power

2007-06-10T12:38:00.000-07:00

Kalender Abadi. Viral Power. Makhluk apa pula itu?

Kalender abadi adalah kalender yang bisa digunakan sepanjang masa. Tak perlu diganti, tidak perlu di-install, dan bisa digunakan di desktop Anda. Kalender ini memiliki rentang waktu kurang lebih 900 tahun.

Cuma itu? Sebentar, belum semua. Anda bisa mencari hari dari tanggal tertentu di rentang waktu 900 tahun. Misalnya, tahukah Anda tanggal 16 Agustus 1584 itu hari apa? Saya tahu. Dengan menggunakan software ini mudah saja: hari Kamis. Atau, 19 Desember 2499 itu hari Kamis. Hari apakah Indonesia memproklamasikan kemerdekaannya? Hari Jum'at. Nggak percaya? Berarti Anda harus mencobanya sendiri.

Dengan memiliki software ini Anda bisa juga main ramal-ramalan. He..he..ya iseng-iseng aja. Anda bisa mengetahui dengan gampang hari terjadinya berbagai peristiwa, hanya dari tanggal bulan dan tahun.

Sekarang Viral Power. Ini adalah istilah yang digunakan di dunia marketing untuk menjuluki tool, software, atau apa pun namanya yang memiliki potensi penyebaran luas dan cepat ala virus dalam pengertian positif. Itu sebabnya disebut viral, adjective dari kata virus.

Salah satu yang dianggap memiliki viral power adalah freeware alias software gratisan. Tapi freeware saja belum cukup. Harus ada sesuatu yang membuatnya lebih dari sekedar freeware. Kalau begitu, apa yang bisa menjadi nilai tambah dari freeware? Jawabannya: re-branding.

Dalam bahasa sederhana, re-branding adalah proses menyisipkan nama dan/atau link ke dalam software yang rebrandable. Kenapa harus yang rebrandable? Karena secara prinsip, software -baik freeware maupun komersial- justru di-protect agar tidak bisa diotak-atik. Sebaliknya, rebrandable software menyisakan ruang bagi penggunanya untuk melakukan re-branding dengan software khusus yang disebut re-brander.

Dengan cara ini, pembuat software melakukan promosi secara bersama-sama dengan penggunanya, karena link mereka ada di dalam software tersebut. Sinergi inilah yang menciptakan kekuatan penyebaran luar biasa yang disebut dengan istilah viral power. Menyebar seperti virus. Sinergi ini tercipta karena baik pembuat software maupun pengguna sama-sama merasa memiliki dan sama-sama mendapat kesempatan dalam melakukan promosi. Jadi, ini adalah semacam simbiosis mutualisma, kerjasama yang saling menguntungkan.

Nah, Kalender Abadi adalah salah satu freeware yang memiliki viral power. Anda bisa me-rebrand dan menampilkan nama serta link Anda di software ini. Setelah itu, Anda bisa menggunakannya untuk berpromosi secara manual atau pun meng-upload-nya ke web server Anda, sehingga orang bisa men-downloadnya secara gratis.

Software Kalender Abadi plus rebrander tool-nya bisa didownload di sini, GRATIS!

Happy rebranding!!

Promosi Tidak Harus Selalu Formal!

2007-05-04T02:25:00.000-07:00

Apa yang Anda rasakan ketika setiap hari disodori iklan yang terkesan serius, formal dan kaku? Mau muntah? He..he.. berlebihan ah!

Tapi saya tidak bisa menyalahkan Anda jika merasa sebel dengan kondisi seperti itu. Hidup memang perlu variasi. Termasuk juga dalam soal promosi. Makanya ketika muncul iklan rokok yang diberi sentuhan humor cerdas yang tidak slapstick, banyak orang yang tiba-tiba menyukainya.

Variasi. Itu kuncinya. Dan variasi membutuhkan kreatifitas untuk mencairkan kejenuhan. Kalau saya membuat Mesin Pembuat Cerita, apakah itu salah satu bentuk kreatifitas? Buat saya, YA!

Apa itu Mesin Pembuat Cerita?

Mesin Pembuat Cerita adalah software interaktif yang membuat Anda yang bukan penulis pun bisa membuat cerita. Nama resminya: Mesin Pembuat Cerita versi 1.2. Keren kan? Anda cukup memasukkan beberapa variabel dalam format sederhana, dengan satu klik saja Anda sudah bisa menciptakan cerita pendek yang lucu!

Lalu apa hubungannya dengan promosi?

Ini bagian terpenting dari software tersebut. Anda bisa melakukan kustomisasi alias re-branding, sehingga nama, link ke website/blog Anda serta satu paragraf promo yang Anda tulis sendiri, akan tercantum di bagian depan atas dari software Mesin Pembuat Cerita versi 1.2 ini.

Wow! Ain't that nice?

Selanjutnya Anda bisa mengirimkan software yang sudah di re-branding (bukan re-bounding :-)) itu kepada teman-teman Anda, mitra bisnis Anda atau siapa pun yang Anda kenal. Atau, silakan Anda upload ke website Anda, dan biarkan orang men-downloadnya secara sukarela. Yang terpenting, jangan mengirimkannya kepada orang yang tidak Anda kenal atau tidak memintanya. SPAM itu udah nggak musim, karena kuno dan menyebalkan!

11 Ways To Drive Traffíc Away From Your Website

2007-04-04T16:56:00.000-07:00

Why Web-Users Are So Impatient

While watching a Toronto Raptor basketball game I saw T.J. Ford, one of the fastest players in the league, rush down the court like a man possessed and proceed to throw the ball behind his back to a trailing Andrea Bargnani. The trouble was the ball sailed over the head of the seven-foot Bargnani into the second row of seats. Ford, himself, ended up with a beer and popcorn facíal after landing in the lap of a front row patron. So what does this have to do with website design and marketing you ask? A lot.

As talented as Ford is as a basketball player he sometimes plays out-of-control, and his major asset, his speed, becomes a liability. When this happens in a basketball game the answer is to slow the game down and get back in control.

Don't Speed-It-Up; Slow-It-Down

Website visitors are like the speedy T.J. Ford; they are so intent on getting what they want as quickly and efficiently as possible, that they often surf the Internet out-of-control.

How many times have you sat in front of the computer with your hand resting on your mouse searching for some desired product, service, or information, when all of sudden you find what looks like what you want, but before you even have a chance to discover exactly what it is, your hair-trigger finger decides it's time to move-on. It's like your finger has a mind of it's own.

Speed Kills Marketing Efforts

All the talk and discussion about short attention spans caused by people raised on video games and quick-cut-edited music videos is very misleading.

What website visitors won't tolerate are websites that waste their time, and many websites are guilty of exactly that. Contrary to popular belief, the job of a website designer, who understands marketing, is not to speed up website visitors, but to slow them down so they can absorb the marketing message.

If you want your audience to remember you, if you want to make an impression, if you want website visitors to understand why they should give you their business, then you have to slow them down long enough to absorb your message. And that message better be worth their while or they will nevër come back.

It isn't about how fast a page loads; it's about delivering an appropriate payoff for the wait.

Now I will admit there are people who absolutely, positively will not wait more than eight seconds for anything to load. You know who you are. And I say, the hell with them. These are the same people who won't wait their turn in a brick and mortar store either, they demand to be served before everyone else - it's just not possible to satisfy these people, so why design your entire website marketing around them. They are nevër going to hang around long enough to grasp your message and learn why they should be giving you their business, so forget about them.

The people you should be worrying about are the ones that really want to find out more about what it is you do, and are prepared to invest a little time and effort to give you a chance to explain yourself. These are the important people; this is your real audience, and you disappoint them at your financial peril.

The Reasons Why Web-users Are Impatient

The real reason website users are so damn impatient is not that they have such short attention spans, it's because most websites are designed to meet perceived company objectives, rather than audience needs.

How To Drive Traffíc Away From Your Website

Let's take a look at some of the reasons why your website visitors may be leaving your website before they've had a chance to hear what you have to say; or to put it another way, if you want to drive traffíc AWAY faster than you attract it, here are some of the things you should do.

1. Give Web-visitors Too Many Options and Choices

Social scientist and Swarthmore College professor, Barry Schwartz, has coined the phrase, "the paradox of choice." His studies have concluded the more choice you give people, the less likely they are to make a decision. Some choice is good, but too much choice creates confusion: it's a case of diminishing marginal utility.

A well designed website explains, directs, guides, and focuses visitor attention on the things that are of real benefit to your visitors and to your company.

Every business provides a variety of products, services, and information to their customers, but these things are not all of equal importance. Your website is a place to focus attention on your core marketing message, not a place to provide a shopping líst of everything you are able to do and every product or service you may be able to offër.

2. Give Web Visitors Too Much Information To Process

Architect, author, and information designer, Richard Saul Wurman, in his book, 'Information Anxiety' talks about, "the ever-widening gap between what we understand and what we think we should understand."

Good website design is about more than technology and aesthetics; it's about deciding what information needs to be presented and what information needs to be left out. If you are truly an expert in your field, you should know what information is important to your customers in order for them to make a decision. Too much information is like too much choice, it confuses rather than clarifies. Focus on delivering meaningful content or risk having your visitors hit the exit button.

3. Give Web Visitors Too Much Non-relevant Content

The only thing worse than overloading your website with more information than visitors can absorb is confusing them with useless and non-relevant content.

Non-relevant content is content that doesn't advance your major purpose: to deliver your marketing message in an informative, engaging, entertaining, and memorable manner. If it isn't relevant, dump it.

4. Give Web Visitors Too Many Irritating Distractions

Websites should be designed to direct visitors to the information they want and that information should be the content you want to deliver.

You cannot sell someone a product or service they do not want. A real prospect is one that needs the same information you want to provide; the art of salës is directing potential clients to relevant information, and presenting it in a way that visitors see your product or service as fulfilling their needs.

On the surface, third-party advertisements and banners may seem like a good way to make some extra cäsh from your traffíc, but these ads become so distracting, visitors either get fed-up or clíck on one of the links that takes them away from your site. Whatever few bucks you earn from these ads, you are loosing by chasing real customers away; this of course assumes you are a real business with something legitímate to sell and not a website that's an excuse to deliver advertisements.

Other nonsense like favorite links and silly fluff-content merely distracts visitors from investigating your site to find what they are looking for.

5. Give Web Visitors Too Many Red Flags

Website visitors are constantly looking for red flags that tell them that the site they are visiting should be skipped as soon as possible.

If you want to make sure visitors won't deal with you make sure you don't provide any contact information: no contact names, no telephone numbers, and no mailing address is a sure sign that you won't look after any problems that arise from a website transaction.

Your website must be designed to build trust and foster a relationship, not scare people away.

6. Give Web Visitors Too Many Decisions To Make

How many decisions do you demand from your visitors in order for them to do business with you?

Take for example the seemingly simple task of purchasing a new television. Do you purchase the inexpensive but old tube technology, the newer Plasma technology, or the LCD technology? How about all the various features to choose from like picture-in-picture, commercial skip-timers, and on and on? All you really want to do is relax with your spouse and enjoy a good movie - is that on a VSH, DVD, Blu-ray, or HD-DVD?

7. Give Web Visitors Too Many Stumbling Blocks

Do you make people go through the order processing system before they can find out how much something costs, or do you demand potential customers read a ridiculous amount of small print legalese that only a lawyer could understand?

If you want to drive traffíc away from your site make sure you build in as many stumbling blocks as possible.

8. Give Web Visitors Too Many Forms To Fill-in

Do you attract your visitors with special offers or free white papers and then demand that they fill-out complex forms, surveys, and questionnaires before you give them access to what they came for? If you do, you are probably losing a lot of people you attracted, and you are guaranteeing that your next email promotion will end up in the trash.

9. Give Web Visitors Incomprehensible Page Layouts

Good design, proper page layout, consistent navigation, and well organized information architecture that promotes serendipity, helps visitors find what they're looking for and provides a pleasant, efficient and rewarding experience for the website visitor.

Website designs that rely on technology, databases, and search engine optimization rather than focused content, coherent organization, articulate presentation, and a memorable, rewarding experience are designs designed to chase traffíc away.

10. Give Web Visitors Too Many Confusing Instructions

One of the most frustrating experiences website visitors encounter is confusing instructions and incoherent explanations of how your product or service works or how to order what you are selling.

11. Give Web Visitors Too Many Reason To Clíck-out

If you really are determined to fail, make sure you provide website visitors with as many reasons as possible to leave your site: irrelevant links to your favorite sites, links to your suppliers because you're too cheap to put their information on your own site, or any combination of the reasons mentioned above, all contribute to driving traffíc away from your site.

7 Steps to Creating Your Own Podcast

2007-03-28T19:27:00.000-07:00

by Donna Gunter

Listening to podcasts isn't something I enjoy or take time for, quite frankly. I'm a visual learner and prefer to read something rather than listen to it, as I find reading a much quicker way to gather the info that I need. However, with the proliferation of audio listening devices, like the whole iPod family and other mp3 players, I have to acknowledge that I'm in the minority, I believe. The world is listening to a wide variety of audio files, much more so than ever before in history, and I need to get on the bandwagon or be lost in the dust.

What is a podcast, anyway? A podcast is an audio file that you create in .mp3 format that is uploaded with an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) file to your server for your target market to download on any number of programs created to receive or subscribe to your audio file so that they can listen to it at their leisure on their computer or a personal mp3 device.

Why should you create a podcast? I think it serves as a marketing tool for the solo service professional, who might want to do one of the following:

create an Internet radio show or talk show in which you create content-rich broadcasts for your target market
conduct a teleclass series in which you interview experts who have solutions to problems faced by your target market
promote a printed book, ebook, or CD/DVD series by releasing promotional snippets to a wider audience
provide short and valuable expert tips to your target market (my Get More Clients Online podcast consists of the weekly article I write for my newsletter)

Many podcasts are about an hour in length, especially when they consist of recordings of radio shows or teleclasses. However, I think that the listening threshold for most people is about 10 minutes. So, that means that your podcast needs to be 10 minutes or less in length. If it's longer, you really have to grab their attention in the first 10 minutes to keep them listening for the full amount of time.

Good content and a good speaking voice are key to maintaining interest. Don't make your podcast one long advertisement for your services or products -- share some useful information with your target market to help them solve their problems. And, you need to have a good speaking voice. Nothing is worse than listening to someone read a speech with a monotone delivery. So, for maximum impact when you record your podcast (especially if you're just recording yourself), get up and walk around, smile, gesture, or do whatever you normally do when you deliver a speech. Modulate your voice, in much the same way that you would when you have a 1:1 conversation with someone -- put feeling and emotion into your words. I pretend like I'm talking to my best friend, and that helps me with a lively delivery.

What Are The Steps to Creating a Podcast?

1. Listen to a few podcasts to get a feel for what others are doing. To listen, you'll need a podcatcher (podcast reader), which permits you to subscribe to podcasts in the same way you subscribe to blogs. I favor iTunes as my podcatcher of choice, which is a frëe online download. You'll also need to find podcasts, and the quickest way to do that is via podcast directories, which include the iTunes store. Podcast Alley, one of the most popular podcasting sites, has a large podcast directory, and Yahoo Podcasts has a podcast search. To find others, simply search online for "podcast directory."

2. Plan your podcast. Who is your target market? What do they want to listen to? How will your podcast be unique from others in your industry? What's your format (interview others, host a teleclass, or record yourself)? How long will your podcast be? How frequently will you deliver your podcasts?

3. Record your podcast. Many people choose to record their podcast with a frëe piece of software called Audacity. It has an easy learning curve and advanced features for more experienced podcasters. Mac users might want to look at Garage Band. For best recording sound, don't use the microphone that came with your computer or that is built into your laptop. You'll want to get a more professional one, such as the ones offered at Plantronics or Radio Shack.

4. Save and upload your podcast to your server. Once you've created your podcast in an mp3 file, you have to save it and upload it to a server via an FTP program (like CuteFTP) so that it's readily available. You can upload it to your website, or use one of the many podcasting hostíng services available. The problem with uploading it to your website is that audio files are space hogs, and you can quickly exhaust all the storage capacity of your hostíng account, not to mention your monthly bandwidth capacity if your podcast is popular and is downloaded frequently. That's why I use a fee-based audio service hostíng company, Audio Acrobat, which offers me generous storage and bandwidth capacity for a semi-annual fee. Another popular podcast hostíng company is Hipcast.com.

5. Create your podcast feed. You can create your podcast feed from scratch, but I recommend you use a feed service to do so. If you use a podcasting hostíng service, this feature is included in your service package. For everyone else, the quickest way to create your podcast feed is through Feedburner.com. This is the same service that creates RSS feeds for blogs. The advantage of creating your podcast feed from this site is that you can create a browser-friendly feed, track your circulation, and enhance your feed with its SmartCast technology.

6. Publish and promote your podcast. If you use a podcasting hostíng service, the service will publish your podcast and notify various podcast directories about the availability of your new podcast. Or, you can enter the info directly into the major podcast directories. You'll also want to promote the podcast on your website, blog, and in your email newsletter. One of the easiest ways to do this is to add feed subscription buttons (called chiclets) to your sites. You'll have to cut and paste the HTML code into your templates to create the chiclets. You can get directions on how to publish subscription buttons from the various podcasters you want to feature. Lastly, you'll want to create "album art" for your podcast, or a graphic representation that many podcatchers upload with the mp3 file. Album art may be from 170x170 to 300x300 pixels square at 72 dpi. Any graphic designer can help you create this graphics file.

7. Make monëy from your podcast. Advertising on podcasts is still fairly new, but some companies like Fruitcast.com or PodcasterAds.com are places to start. Another option is to place Google Adsense listings on all of your sites listing your podcast, or seek sponsors for your podcasts, just like you would for a radio show.

Don't let the audio world pass you by! Podcasting is a very inexpensive way of helping you get the word out about what you do and what you offër to the world.

Desperate Housewives' Tales

2007-03-22T16:03:00.000-07:00

By Lynn Tan

The term, "Desperate Housewives" creates the impression of housewives who are desperate for sex and scandals. Are these really what they are desperate for? For some, probably yes. The impression comes about when you are perceived as doing "nothing" and are feeling bored at home. In addition, your multiple roles of mother, wife, lover, tutor, counsellor, financier, cook, driver, homemaker, caretaker, do not seem to count as a measure of your worth by the fact that your work output is not tabulated in the gross national output. Other stereotypical images of housewives are that you are unsophisticated, old-fashioned and the only work you are probably good at are cleaning, cooking, gossiping and for having sex. How do these misguided perceptions influence and affect your self-esteem?

Are you assessed and labeled based on what you own, how much you earn or what you are as a person. I am often asked "Do you work?" or "What do you do?" whenever I meet other people. Indirectly, this is a quick way of summing up your worth and placing your position in society. If you are not highly paid, then you are automatically relegated to the bottom of society. Your success is often judged by your possession of materialistic symbols of success: large houses, good paying jobs or having lots of money.

With neither power nor status attached to my work, can I then become successful? Since my work is unpaid, is it correct to deem me as worthless? Worth has been wrongly tied to a person, when they are actually two separate matters. Your success should not just depend on what work you do or how much you earn. However, with the constant bombardment of messages of superficial material success, you are conditioned to believe that you are unworthy in a materialistic society of ours. We have been looking "out" for success when we should be looking "in". It is easy to fall victim and be pigeon-holed to live the life as expected by and determined by others. You have been programmed and tend to fit in the ebb and flow of your position in society.

To unleash my own potential, I had to tear off the layers of toxic labels from years of conditioning to free myself from the limiting labels placed on me. It takes constant reprogramming to rise above these constricting stereotypical labels. Monetary success is only a part of the bigger picture of success. Success also encompasses mental and emotional well-being, relationship with others and other intrinsic values and character of a person amongst many others. Achieving a happy state of mental and emotional well-being is a big SUCCESS. Now, I define success based on my own terms. I do not have to fit in the narrow interpretation of success as created and set by others. Only when I take control of my own life, will I then be liberated from the stigma of society, to flourish in my own way.

From a state of desperation, I have transformed myself to a state of inspiration by constantly replacing limiting negative thoughts with positive energizing thoughts. I cannot change the world, so I change my mind to change my world. A paradigm shift in mindset leads me to the path of a happier state of mind.

Many mistakenly believe that when you are successful, then only will you be happy. The truth of the matter is that when you are happy, only then are you truly successful. To me, being happy is the epitome of a successful life. This is the priceless gem of success.

Lynn Tan is the author and publisher of http://www.desperate-asian-housewives.com She is a mother, wife, and an entrepreneur and has just formed a company focusing on e-business. With a paradigm shift in mindset, she has unleashed her potential to all possibilities of achieving a successful, happy and balanced work-life.

Write in English, Why Not?

2007-02-26T12:27:00.000-08:00

by Tata Danamihardja

Yes, just write in English, even if you're not an English speaking person. Why? Because we have to admit that a lot of people in the world speak English more than any other language. Considering this, any idea written in English will be much more 'readable'. Imagine that your ideas spread out wider compared with those written in 'local' language. Isn't that nice?

Of course it's not easy actually to express what we got in mind in a foreign language. For those whose English is not their mother tongue, there will be some obstacles that are simplified into 4 points:

lack of vocabulary
afraid of making mistakes
not sure if anybody will read what we write
feel comfortable with our 'status quo'

Now let's see if these are real obstacles or just our imaginative shield to stay safe without having to try something new.

Lack of vocabulary

This is natural because we are obviously not English speaking person. If you are an Indonesian but you don't speak Bahasa Indonesia, there must be something wrong with you. If you are Indonesian, speak a little bit English with limited vocabulary, that's a very good point to start writing in English. All you have to do is improving your vocabulary and it's not as hard as you thought. Learn a lot, read a lot, write a lot. Practice.

Afraid of Making Mistake

Tell me who has never made mistakes? It is one of many ways to learn something new. Look at the baby who is trying to walk. They never think of falling even they fall again and again. Focus on what you want to achieve and do that. Never be afraid of something uncertain and maybe only exist in your imagination. Even when you finally do some mistakes, you won't be killed and you can still learn from your mistakes.

Who Will Read My Article?

Believe me that there are many people out there who want to read your article. At least people who know you will be curious to read. Let say that you write a bad article. People at least will read your first line and we still can call him/her our reader. In some cases, people are often curious to prove how bad your article is by reading until the last word. What I want to say here is there's no need to ask such a pessimistic question. Be sure that your article will be read by someone, at least the editor :-) Just take it easy!

Feel Comfortable With Our 'Status Quo'

Now back to your childhood. Remember that everything was comfortable. Mom, Dad, and everybody in the family served you. But you didn't just stay enjoying your easy life. You even learned a lot. You tried to walk yourself though you fell many times. So many things you learned with trial and error until you finally reached what you want. If you are now afraid of trying something new, then you are the real loser even in a baby's eyes.

So, why don't you try to be 'the real' you? Write down your ideas in English to get more readers. Don't just be satisfied by having many 'local' readers now. Try something new. Get more 'international' readers and let your ideas spread out all over the world. This is serious challenge. Do you have a brave to answer this challenge?

Create Your Own E-book Using Google and Ebay

2007-02-25T06:21:00.000-08:00

By Liane Bate

Have you been working at an online business for a while now, and thinking of creating a product of your own that you can sell online to make extra money? Well, have I got the solution for you! E-books are becoming one of the most popular selling information products online today, and you can use Google and Ebay to help you create your very own digital product!

If the thought of writing an e-book seems a daunting task to you, it's really not as difficult as it seems. If you are already educated in internet marketing and know what writing original articles can do for your business and search engine ranking, then you are already most of the way there. Even if you know little about internet marketing and just like to write, you have a good chance of creating a good downloadable product that you can sell online.

The trick to writing an e-book that will sell is to know what people's problems are. This doesn't mean you need to be a psychologist! It simply means that you need an awareness of what people are asking for online that they need help with and want to find a solution for. People will buy from you when they know you have defined a problem they are having, and offer a solution to that problem.

What can Google and Ebay do to help you write this problem-defining and problem-solving e-book that will sell like hot cakes you ask? The answer is that Google and Ebay are excellent research tools that you can tap into to find out what people are having problems with. It's very important to use these free tools because if you start writing away about a topic that has little relevance to what people are looking for online then chances are your product won't sell.
Keep in mind too that the other trick to making a best-selling e-book is to know about and love your chosen topic. You will find it much easier to write a lot about a topic you are truly interested in rather than trying to write about something you know nothing about. You want to share your expertise and personal experiences about a topic, not your fake attempt to appeal to people's emotions just so they will buy your product.

So once you find a topic you love and know about, you can go to Ebay and start doing your research. What do I mean by "doing your research"? By this I mean you want to know what people are looking to buy on Ebay. Let's say you love hiking in the mountains. Go to Ebay and type in "hiking", or "hiking boots", or "hiking backpacks", for example. Find out what gets a lot of people's interest, as indicated by the number in the search results. Look at the listings to see what people are bidding on. This will give you an idea if your topic is worth writing an e-book about or not. Do the same in Google by typing in some search terms related to your topic to see if you can find the problems people want answers to, and if you feel you can write a lot about that yourself.

It's very good practice to get into the habit of using a good keyword research tool, such as the one offered at SEO Book. Once you have a good topic, you also want to target the keywords people are searching for in the search engines. With a keyword research tool you will find out which keywords are worth targeting. Most people think to use the keywords with the most searches, however, you want to target keywords that do get searched, but not the most frequently so that you can get to the top of the search engine listings with your effective keywords. These will be keywords searched maybe 5000-10000 times per month or thereabouts in Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

The great thing about having been involved in internet marketing before is that you have probably already written a few articles to promote your business online. If this is the case, you can compile your articles into an e-book without having to write anything extra! E-books don't have to be long! Or if you write about your experiences and can share your knowledge about your climb to Everest's base camp, then just compile your notes into an e-book with very little extra effort!

Finally, you can use Google and Ebay not only for research purposes, but after you've written your e-book, you can then offer it for sale on Ebay, advertise it using Google Adwords perhaps, watch your e-book rise to the top of the search engine listings, and grin happily as the sales start coming in!

Google Adsense Tips

2007-02-19T16:48:00.000-08:00

By Tom Oki

Google Adsense is one of the easiest and most popular ways to monetize a website. I have used Adsense myself on several of my websites, and have made decent money doing so. For those of you who are not familiar with Adsense, it is simply an ad serving program run by Google. By pasting some code on your site, ads will be run on your site automatically, and you will make money for each click you generate. It’s easy enough to set up, but how exactly can you make the most of your Adsense ads?

Here are some Google Adsense tips to help your ads perform better:

1. Integrate the ads into your site as much as possible
Try using colors for you links that are similar to the colors on your site. And make sure you turn off the ad borders as well. You want your ads to look like ordinary links as much as possible.

2. Position ads toward the top
Here is a somewhat obvious Google Adsense tip: prominently placed ads results in better click-throughs. So don’t be shy and place your ads toward the top of the page, even if that seems too overt too you.

3. Don’t try to outsmart Google
Another obvious Google Adsense tip is to not get too clever in your efforts to generate clicks. Never click your own ads or try to cheat the system by hiring others to click your ads. Don’t use software to generate false clicks either. Google will eventually catch you, and your account will be closed.

4. Target keywords
Hopefully, if you set up your pages correctly, they are targeting certain keywords. These will usually be the same keywords to which your ads are targeted. Try to keep keyword density in the 2 – 5% range.

5. Test different ad formats
My final Google Adsense tip is to test different ad formats and colors. You’ll be amazed at how much you can improve your bottom line by testing different size ads in different places, with different colors.

There are of course tons of other Google Adsense tips, but these are the main ones that I have found useful in my own advertising campaigns. Try them out, and you may discover to your surprise that you can often improve ad click-throughs by 20% or more by making some rather simple changes.

You can learn a lot more about how to make money with adsense here.

Can you get a 2:1 banner exchange that allows you to earn 1 banner impression per minute!? Can you get a 2:1 banner exchange that allows you to earn 1 banner impression every 4 minutes from your direct referrals usage!? Can you get a 2:1 banner exchange that allows you to earn banner impressions even if you don't have a web site?

How to Write an Effective Author's Box

2007-02-18T07:25:00.000-08:00

by: Tata Danamihardja

Author's Box is a short description at the end of an article. This is a great tool to promote your site or blog address, or even just your email address. I you do run a business, just imagine this as the gate to your business. Or let's think about simple but attractive display of your shop.

When people see an interesting or attractive display, at least he/she will stop for a while to enjoy the sight. Next possibility is he/she will enter your shop to find out if the real stuffs you sell are as attractive as what displayed on your shop's window. If your visitors are satisfied with what they find, they will probably make a business deal with you. If this happen repeatedly, it means that your business is running well.

Author's box has almost the same function with display in a store. It shouldn't be fancy, but it SHOULD be interesting. Use active sentence(s) with simple words so that it will be easier to understand. Remember, this is not a poem contest :-)

If you submit your article to an article resources website such as EzineArticles.com, there's a great possibility that your article will be republished by unlimited number websites or even other article resources publishers. Of course your author's box containing your link will be republished too.

So, don't forget to put a link to your blog or website on the author's box.. Just write down your link as it is. I mean, if your link is http://moneysucker.co.nr just write down like that. Don't write Click here with a link put under these words. Why? Because we never know if someone who want to republish our article has much time to copy and paste it into his/her html editor. There is always possibility that he/she just copy and paste it into text editor such as notepad. If you only write down a click-here with link under those words, your link will never be shown at all when your article is republished.

What does it mean? You have just lost your invaluable key to add traffic to your website.

Be The Pioneer, Be Agloco Member, For Free

2007-02-17T16:17:00.000-08:00

I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

AGLOCO's story is simple:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.

AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube's users did not get paid for!

AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.

AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they're building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube made. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.

What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.

So do both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use the link below to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBT7703 When you finally sign up, you may do the same to get credit for referring others. But remember, no spam or you'll be banned!

Anyway, I'm waiting for Agloco Toolbar next month. Are you?

The Long-lost "Ancient Secret" to Success

2007-02-17T14:01:00.000-08:00

By P.G. Wesu

The ancient secret to success is embodied in what is called the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that appeared on various lists of late antiquity.

Can you list all of the Wonders or name at least one them? No?

The original seven Wonders, notable objects if you will, were built between 3,000 B.C. and 476 A.D. It was the Greeks who originated the idea of making a list of notable objects. But in order to qualify for the list the object had to fulfill two criteria:

It had to be created (built) by humans not gods.
It had to be of great size, that is, monumental.

But the Romans, who followed the Greeks, granted credibility to the list by suggesting that it only include beautiful, colossal, and memorable objects that travelers would regard with awe.

The oldest and best preserved of all the ancient Wonders are the Egyptian Pyramids which were built as tombs for the pharaohs.

One of the largest pyramids which stands 450 feet high and occupies 13 square acres at the base is the Great Pyramid. It took decades and thousands of workers, equaling an enormous amount of work-hours, to build.

The other members of the Magnificent Seven were: the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; the statue of Zeus; the Mausoleum at Halicarnusus; the Lighthouse at Alexandria; and the Colossus of Rhodes. All these structures were built by hundreds, sometimes thousands of men laboring for thousands of hours.

The Eighth Wonder of the World

What principle had these ancient civilizations mastered to succeed in building such colossal structures? Or is it a long-lost secret?

In fact, Albert Einstein, who knew something about mathematics, referred to it as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."

Do you care to hazard a guess what it is?

I can tell you, if this principle had not been used these Wonders would have never been built. Its power works the same way today as it has been for thousands of years.

The secret?

MULTIPLICATION.

The ancients knew the secret to any successful endeavor
They multiplied their efforts
Done not by them but for them!

This principle teaches you never to underestimate the value of little efforts magnified by multiplication the "ancient secret" to success.

Adsense Authors: Who Are These People?

2007-02-17T13:43:00.000-08:00

By Christopher Knight

Adsense is a program designed by Google to help publishers monetize their websites using high contextually-accurate ads. Adwords is the other side of the coin which allows any person to create an account with Google and bid on keywords or key phrases to have their ads appear in either the search results ad placements, or in content sites that display Adsense ads.

Over the past few months I've identified a group of authors, writers, and publishers that I call: "Adsense Authors."
My definition of an Adsense Author: Any author that uses article marketing as a strategy to drive traffic to their website in order to drive their adsense ad revenue sales.
These "Adsense Authors" really understand how to fully leverage article marketing as a strategy like no other group of authors.

Here are the commonly shared traits of these authors:

Their articles are short, between 200-600 words.
The quantity of articles they produce are typically from 25-300; around a tightly focused niche topic.
The TITLE of their articles are very keyword rich: the first two, three, or four words are the most important in rank. You won't find these authors wasting the first 4 words of their title with non-keyword-rich words (such as "a" "how to" "top" "the" "of" etc).
The BODY of their articles has high keyword density for the terms they are targeting.
The KEYWORDS they use when submitting their articles are intelligently selected based on the overture or other keyword research tools; they are not haphazardly selected.
They do not load up and bloat the guts of the BODY of their articles with links back to their sites; they know this slows down the acceptance of their articles for reprint by other publishers.
Their articles are fun, fast, and easy to read. Often they will use bullets, numbered lists, and quick sub-heads to make the article easy to visually digest.
Lastly, their RESOURCE BOX is brief with only one or two links in them: one link to their full website URL, and one anchored text link to a keyword of importance to their niche. They know that big, ego driven resource boxes slow down the viral nature of article marketing strategy.

Conclusion on Adsense Authoring

Adsense Authors have discovered the secrets behind fully unlocking the power of article marketing to drive enormous storms of organic traffic to their websites. They accomplish this with dozens to hundreds of tightly-focused niche articles, all reflecting high keyword value and research intelligence.

You won't find any 3,000+ word articles or ego driven article content from an Adsense Author. They have only one purpose in mind: To drive massive amounts of traffic to their Adsense-based business model using article marketing as a key strategy.

Even if your goal in life has nothing to do with Adsense, you can definitely learn from today's Adsense Authors on how to take Article Marketing to the next level of possibilities.

7 Ways To Radically Change Your Life

2007-02-13T10:44:00.000-08:00

By T Young

We all have moments in our lives when we feel as though we are in a rut, where nothing seems to go to plan and we feel like not doing anything at all. Most often it's just due to the fact that we have gotten ourselves in the rut but haven't yet figured out how we are going to get ourselves out.

Here are 7 ways that you can radically get your life back on track.

Change your image. Often changing your wardrobe can give you a radically different outlook on your life. We all know how our image can affect our perception of our selves and what we want to portray to the world. If you haven't changed or updated your wardrobe for quite some time then this is as good a time as any. Go to your wardrobe and throw out anything you haven't worn in a few seasons. You can't make room for the new unless you first create space. Now it's a matter of going on a shopping spree and spice up your wardrobe with new outfits. Give yourself permission to be bold and if possible take along a friend who you perceive as fashionable. Why not give yourself a new haircut and treat yourself to a facial. The results will surprise you and may even give you a new found lift in your day.
Get out and travel. Traveling gives you an opportunity to see how other people live. You learn to appreciate other cultures and in turn may even give you a new sense of appreciation for what you have in your life. If at all possible you would want to take time off and just see the world. It needn't be expensive. Take an opportunity during your travel to pause and reflect as to where you are and where you want to go. You will be able to see your life from a totally new perspective.
Get a new job. We spend quite literally a third of our waking lives at our place of employment. So if you aren't being inspired or you don't enjoy your workplace then you will want to make it a priority to look for another job. A new job can give you a new routine and a new environment may also give you an opportunity to break out of your rut. We all know how excited we are when we start something new and a new job can give you that feeling. It's not to say that every time you get into a rut you find a new job, but if you find that your job satisfaction levels are quite low and you feel it is due to your work environment then why not change it. After all life is too short to spend it in a place where you aren't growing.
Take up a new hobby. If you are like many people, your daily routine would involve you coming home from a days work and plonking yourself down in front of the television so that you can unwind. We literally can waste away as much as five hours a day just watching mindless television. That's thirty five hours a week and not all that far away from the amount of hours you spend at work. Why waste that time in front of the TV set when you can instead spend that with your family or doing a hobby. Join a club or create activities where your family can go.
Find new friends. Often we get caught in our familiarity, we spend time with the same friends because it's familiar, we follow the same route to work because it's familiar. Familiarity has it's place but if you are in a rut then it may be doing more to hold you back then helping you to progress. One way to create a new buzz in your life is to find new friends. They will be able to give you a new perspective on things and the enjoyment of building up a new relationship can be rewarding.
Read inspiring books. Research has shown that many people after they complete their schooling never touch another book again. Yes, trashy magazines and fictional works don't really count. You want to read inspirational and motivational books that can really get you thinking about your life and where you want to go. There is a whole section in many bookstores on self help and many give you great suggestions on getting yourself out of a rut in your life. Why not look to others to give you answers then blindly hoping that the answer will one day hit you in the head.
Volunteer for the homeless or a nursing home. Learn to appreciate your life and the importance of living. By spending time with people less fortunate or lonely you can not only bless their lives but they in turn may inspire you to make more out of your life. In the end everyone wins. Find a good charity near where you live and why not set aside a few hours a week. You can certainly find a few hours out of your week to help others in need.

Putting Adsense Code in New Blogger

2007-02-11T12:10:00.000-08:00

Inserting Adsense code in New Blogger (previously called Blogger Beta) is a little bit confusing, because the facilities is different with Old Blogger. But after a hard searching in the internet and a time consuming trial and error, finally I succeeded putting the code as I wish.

I need to have my adsense in the post content automatically, as what I did in the classic Blogger template, where I can easily placing Google Adsense code anywhere by directly editing the HTML code of Blogger template. However, it is not easy for me to deal with HTML code of New Blogger template.

Just to share, here are the things you have to do if you want to display your adsense at the end of the post content:

Prepare your adsense code in notepad
Just do a little change to your adsense code. (Don't worry, this don't violate any of the Google TOS).

The original code:

<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Replace the  with  so the code will be seen like this:

<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
Login to your new blogger and go to Layout > Edit HTML > . Check the "Expand widget templates" and then search for the following term: 'post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'
Now copy the 'modified' Adsense code and paste it just under the 'post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'. You may add <br/> after your adsense code to avoid of being too close to the next line in your post content.
Click preview to ensure that there's nothing wrong with what you have done.
Satisfied with your work? Then save your work.

Note: If you want to place your adsense at the beginning of your post, just place your code under 'post-header-line-1' (see step 3 and 4 above).

PDF vs EXE: an eBook War

2007-02-10T04:16:00.000-08:00

By Alex Ronald

Everyone creating an eBook would stumble upon the choice on whether to publish your eBook as a PDF or EXE. The differences between the two can be more than just the file extensions. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. So when should you select a specific format?

When you make a search for eBook creation software, you would generally find EXE eBook creation software on the top. Why is this so? Why not PDF? PDF has been on the market for a long time. But eBook creation was not just one thing it is used for. PDF is used by the Goverment and for many important document and manuscripts. PDF's features made many writers publish in that format.

EXE eBooks can be created using many eBook Creation software. These are available in various ranges, from $19 to $200. Many of them come with a brander, which enables your readers to brand your ebook to their name. The interface provided by the EXE eBooks look sleek. People find it easier to design web-page like eBook design and interactivity in HTML rather than a Word Processor.

There is a great misconception in the market that PDFs are very costly to create. We hear of the fact that Adobe's PDF creation tools are very costly, and hence is PDF creation. But we shouldn't ignore all the other alternatives available. Today, PDF creation products which provide similar features, are available for free. Most of the Word Processors have PDF exporting features incorporated in them.

Another misconception is that eBooks published in EXE format look more professional than PDF eBooks. This is certainly wrong. Nowadays, its the content that matters the most. PDFs looks and feels like real paper. A document can be made a lot more professional in a Word Processor using the various formatting tools available.

There was one problem with PDF though. It could not be as easily branded as EXE eBooks, which already came with a brander. But many solutions for rebranding PDFs have emerged in the market.

EXE eBooks can look difference in different computers, especially if people use various resolutions. This can be evident by seeing many Websites that look difference when seen in difference resolutions. PDFs look the same in all the computers, and one can easily print them.
My personal suggestion would be to go with PDF eBooks. They too have various security options. A quick Google search can lead you to many free PDF creation tools. PDFs can be read in Mac or in any Operating System where Adobe Reader or equivalent is installed. This also includes Operating Systems like Linux.

There is a possibility of EXE files getting corrupted or infected with virus. If a person having his PC infected by a virus downloads your eBook and passes it to his friends, there is a great chance that he is passing away an infected eBook. EXE eBooks carry an overhead. The "reader" part of an EXE eBook is around 200 to 300 Kb. Your content is compressed and added to it, which results in eBooks more than 300kb.

But if you don't want to speed huge amount of money on PDF branders and want to start a Viral Marketing campaign, i would certainly go with an EXE eBook compiler. The choice is yours.

10 Simple Tips For Attaining Wealth

2007-02-10T03:58:00.000-08:00

By DeAnna Spencer

What with the millions of words printed every day about "How To Achieve Success," why aren't there more new millionaires.

Basically, it's simply because the people reading this "How-To" information don't understand what they read, or else just don't have the drive it takes to put what they've read into action. In truth, it would seem that everyone wants to "find out how to become rich," but the number of people with the drive it takes to "work a plan," is few and far between.

The Basics to Getting Rich can be stated simply as follows:

You must control your investment. This is the key to building a fortune from small capital. You have to have the ability and knowledge to make the right moves at the right time, and above all, the innate talent it takes to always land on your feet and never be wiped out, regardless of the setbacks you may encounter.
You must know how and where to buy for next to nothing - or produce a product from scratch - and sell at a tremendous profit. With this ability, you can start with $100 or less, and sell it to someone else for much more than you paid for it. Then do it again, and keep on doing it until you have enough money to make substantial investments in other area where your money will grow and prosper.
You must buy things that appreciate in value. In other words, learn to buy things that will grow in value as time goes on. Things such as collectibles, land, precious metals and stones. Think of the multiplication factor: You pay $10 for a copyright, sell 500 copies and you're off to a small fortune.
You've got to be choosy. Buy the original or pick a limited field. For instance, if you buy written material, buy form the author; or if you're into stamps or coins, work with just one country or type of coins/stamps.
You must become an expert in your field of selling - know all there is to know about it. It takes time, effort, and energy, but the financial rewards are worth it.
You must know how to work the tax shelters. In the confiscatory tax economy we operate in today, anyone attempting to make important money has to operate with every tax break he can get. There are many of them, and they can be applied in different ways. Make friends with a good tax accountant; he'll be able to give you many angles that you've probably never heard of. Be sure you take every advantage of capital gains, investment credits, take part of your rent or house payment as an office expense, as well as your car - get all you can. It's legal, and it's necessary if you're going to build your capital.
You have to set goals and dedicate yourself to attaining those goals. In just about any buy/sell program, you can set a rate of say 20% net profit on each transaction, and work a five-time-a-year turnover. This will double your capital each year. Now the net profit means just that - what is yours after all expenses and taxes are paid - so you'll have to get about 35 to 40% markup on each cycle. If you've done your homework and are really an expert in your field, you'll often be able to make profits of 200% and more on a single transaction, because real buys will always show up for the person with cash in hand. If you set a goal such as this, and follow this system starting with $100, in 10-years you'll have over $50,000 in cash or it's equivalent.
You have to learn to exercise patience. This is the greatest attribute of a good hunter. In your field you'll be looking for bargains that can quickly be resold for a substantial profit. You've got to learn the sources of the items you want to sell, how to spot the bargains, and then have the persistence to allow your investment to pay off for you.
You have to learn what to do with your riches. When your capital has grown beyond the needs of your operation, put it to work. Get it into other investments that will produce more capital and even more income. Pyramiding your investments will bring you all the money you can use.
You have to learn to keep your mouth shut! The man who has found a method of making money, who understands what it can mean, keeps his mouth shut about it. That's why it's so ridiculous to assume that anyone would sell you a sure thing gambling system for a couple of dollars. If it was a sure thing, he'd guard it with his life. The thing is, keep your mouth shut and you'll save yourself a lot of grief as well as competition.

Where Is Your Business Blog?

2007-02-10T01:42:00.000-08:00

By Ellie McFadden

A blog is defined as a "type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary). Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news." I agree with that definition but I also think blogs are involving into great business devices to inform and educate your customers.

Of course it's fitting for me, as a writer, to have a blog (or two) but you may feel you don't need one for your own line of work. I couldn't disagree with you more. I truly believe any type of business can benefit from using a blog.

A blog is an inexpensive (I use Blogger.com and there is no charge) tool to keep in touch with your customers. I think the challenging part for most business owners is figuring out what to write about and continually maintaining the blog, which is extremely important. If your customer clicks on your blog link and there hasn't been a post since last Christmas, they will click off right away. You want to keep them engaged.

So what do you write about in your blog? First of all, don't make your blog all about your business and full of ads. The key is to incorporate the products and/or services you offer with information that YOUR customer is seeking. The first step is to think about who is your customer and what concerns/interests do they have?

For example, you are a veterinarian. I'm a customer of a veterinarian and I want to know more about cat care. The vet could use case studies from real-life situations from the office and share that with their customers (via the blog). When a customer at the office asks them a question, for example "We are expecting our first child, what can we do to help make Smelly the Cat adjust to this new arrival?" Blog about it! I would love to hear about funny pet stories as well.

A blog is interactive as well. After you post your entry, your customer can leave a comment. Answer their question or comment as soon as you can. Keep that line of communication open.

The other challenge with blogging is maintaining it. Do you have enough time to write the posts and answer the comments? And does it matter? I think I have answered the second question. It does matter. It's a way to communicate with your customer and they can communicate right back. It's a way for your customer to get to know you and your business a little better.

If you personally don't have time to write your own blog entries, find someone who can write it for you. Remember your business blog is NOT about spilling out your personal feelings. It's about informing your target market of information, products and services you can provide. You are educating through the use of your blog. A business writer can help you generate ideas as well as write the entries and keep the blog updated. The writer does not necessary have to pretend they are you but simply provide content for your readers. And this content also helps with your website traffic. More traffic equals more customers.

10 Tips On Making More Time

2007-02-10T01:23:00.000-08:00

By Mary Lennox

Make sure everyone else does their share.
Have chores shared out fairly.
When others do chores, allow them to do so in their own way. Don't be tempted to do things again in your way.
Prioritise
Plan ahead. This can be useful in terms of shopping, batch cooking and freezing.
Weigh up the personal benefits of putting some tasks out to tender, i.e. ironing, cleaning. It may be worth the money.
Can you use the time when you are exercising to do some mental planning.
Commuting time may be right for you to catch up on your reading, or doing some work related task you would otherwise do at home.
Only watch television programmes that really interest you. It can be useful to code in what you want to watch and otherwise keep the box switched off. This will give you time to go for a walk, do gardening or even COMMUNICATE.
De clutter and housework will be minimal. It will also take less time to find things you need. This can be applied to your wardrobe too so that you do not waste time on trying to decide what to wear. What is in your wardrobe should be ready to wear, be items you feel and look good in and not so abundant that you are spoiled for choice.

DO NOT CATCH THE WRONG BUS!!

2007-02-09T12:36:00.000-08:00

Yup, do not catch the wrong bus home, or you'll be lost for 25 years, as reported by AFP.

A Thai mother who was lost for 25 years after catching the wrong bus home has spoken of her ordeal after being reunited with her family. Thanks to simple song.

The last time Jaeyaena Beuraheng saw her seven children was in 1982 when she left south Thailand on one of her regular shopping trips across the border to nearby Malaysia.

She never returned, and police later told her family that she had apparently been killed in a traffic accident.

In fact, Jaeyaena had simply taken the wrong bus home -- an error that would have been easy to fix except that she only speaks the local dialect of Malay known as Yawi, according to officials at the homeless shelter where the 76-year-old has lived for two decades.

"I didn't tell anybody where I was going on that day, because I went there quite often," she told AFP, crying as she spoke.

She was heading home from her shopping trip when she mistakenly hopped on a bus to Bangkok, some 1,150 kilometers (700 miles) north of her home in Narathiwat province.

In Bangkok, unable to read Thai and speaking a language few Thais can understand, she again took a wrong bus, this time to Chiang Mai, another 700 kilometers (430 miles) further north.

There she ended up as a beggar for five years, until she was sent to a homeless shelter in the central Thai province of Phitsanulok in 1987.

"I thought I would die in Phitsanulok. I thought about running away many times, but then I worried I would not be able to make it home. I really missed my children," Jaeyaena said.

Officials at the shelter told AFP that she was known as "Auntie Mon," because her speech sounded similar to the language of ethnic Mon living along the border with Myanmar.

But still no one could understand her, until last week when three health students from Narathiwat arrived on an exchange program to research the problem of homelessness at the shelter.

She sang a song for the visitors, one that the staff at the shelter had often heard but did not understand.

"She sang her same old song, one that nobody could understand until those three students from Narathiwat told us that she was sing in Yawi, a Malay dialect," the official said.

"So we asked them to talk to her and find out if she had relatives," official said.

Jaeyaena told the students that she had a Malaysian husband and seven children, recounting her entire story of the bus and how she had become lost in northern Thailand.

Her shocked family sent her youngest son and her eldest daughter to meet her and bring her home on Tuesday, the official said.

"She remembered all of her children's names. But at first she couldn't recognise her youngest son, but she recognised her eldest daughter," said the official, who was at their reunion.

Her children took her back to their family home in Dusongyo village, in a remote corner of Narathiwat, where her children and grandchildren were still hugging and kissing her two days after her return.

Post to Blogger by Email

2007-02-08T10:05:00.000-08:00

Do you know you can post to your Blogger blog by simply sending email from your email client? I still wonder why this is not so popular among blogger. This is wonderful for me because it really saves my online time. I don't have to log into my Blogger account, submit password, editing my post online, and so on. Those are time consuming and and robbing my money at the same time.

By using email-posting facility, blogging has become more economical for me. I write and edit my post offline and just send it when everything is perfect. To send an email from my computer only needs 1 up to 3 minutes. That's all.

So, if you think this is new for you (sorry to hear that..:-), and you want to try this 'new way' of posting, you have to do a few simple steps to set it up first.

Log into your Blogger account
Click on "Settings"
Click on "Email"
In the "Blog Send Address" put the email address where you want the post to be sent after it is posted on your blog
In the "Mail to Blogger address" put in a secret word in the box. This will be the email address you email to have its content posted on your blog.

Finished? So simple, wasn't it? From now on you can send your post from any email you have. What you don't have to change is your 'target' email. I mean, always send it to your "Mail to Blogger address" (it could be something like papa.mama@blogger.com).

Have a nice 'email-posting' and save your money!

What is Your Goal?

2007-02-08T07:38:00.000-08:00

What do you want to achieve in your life? In other words, what is your goal? Oh boy, please don't say "I want to be rich" or "I want to be a lucky people". It's too broad, too wide, and too blur. Out of focus.

A goal has to be clear and focus. If the target is clear, it will be easier to shoot, isn't it? So, just make everything clear. Let's say your goal is to have a brand new car by the end of this year. Is it reasonable? Feasible? This is important because if we put our goal too high and we could not achieve, we will be dissapointed.

Okay, you have calculated your goal with your 'take-home-pay' money, means your net salary. Now all you have to do is divided your main goal into smaller goal, let's say monthly goal or weekly goal, or even daily goal. In this case, you have to decide how much money you have to save so that your main goal can be achieved without setting aside your basic needs.

Once again, test if it is feasible. Go on when you think there will be no problem with your financial plan. Stick to your plan to save, then be rady to welcome your brand new car by the end of this year.

That easy? Yes, theoretically. But, some people have problems with discipline or even with defining their goal. Including me :-)

Got any idea?

Agloco: Surf and Earn Money

2007-02-08T06:31:00.000-08:00

Money making in the internet has become a trend. There are various way to earn money. Google Adsense is one of most popular among webmasters or bloggers. But the unlimited virtual world has always unlimited possibilities to find new things.

Talking about money making, I've found another fresh and easy way to earn money while surfing. There's no limitation on where to surf or how you do it. You're absolutely free to do what you want to do. The program called AGLOCO. There are two ways to get money from this program:

1. Get paid from surfing
2. Get paid from referring

First thing you have to do is register yourself. No registration fee at all, and nothing to buy or sell when you join the program. Even this program is still in development, so that we are still waiting have Viewbar downloaded. Viewbar is a clean software (means no spyware) we have to install in our browser so that it can record our length of surf.

If you think this program doesn't suit you, you may quit at any time. If you cancel your account, you forfeit any account balances and any referrals. Of course, you can rejoin whenever you want but you'll start out without any balance or referrals. To cancel your membership, you can send an email to mailto:cancelmembership@agloco.com

While waiting this to download, we may still refer our friends, family, to join this brand new community. The bigger community is, the more money we got from referring. But remember, do not spam at all. You may only invite those who knows you and whom you know well. Anyone caught spamming will have their membership terminated, and they will forfeit all their AGLOCO benefits.

If you are ready to earn money in a new way, just register here. Once again, free registration, and you don't have to buy or sell anything. Just surf anywhere you want.
