In the ongoing AOL sweepstakes, it appears MSN may be the winner over Google. So, what will it mean for all three companies?

AOL On the Block?

As you may know, the AOL unit at Time Warner has been thrashing around for the last year while trying to find a way to remain relevant. The problem for AOL, of course, is the continually decreasing use of dial-up modems as a method for accessing the Internet. Depending on the study you look act, dial-up modem access now accounts for approximately 40 percent of all Internet users. This number is consistently dropping as DSL and cable Internet access systems become more popular. The resulting struggles at AOL are having an interesting impact on the search engine wars.

Google and MSN are trying to position themselves to dominate online search. The situation boils down as follows: Google is the king, MSN wants to be it. This situation takes on particularly interesting impact when one considers that Google now supplies ads and search results to AOL. In doing so, Google derives roughly 10 percent of its revenues from the AOL relationship.

In the summer of 2005, rumors started that AOL was for sale. MSN and Google were obvious buyers. The only problem was both companies realized AOL was a good short term play, but a terrible long term one given the death of dial-up modem systems. So who would buy AOL and how much would they be willing to pay? Would Google let MSN swipe 10 percent of its business? If so, how high could Google drive up the price of AOL for MSN?

Google Makes Major Mistake

If rumors are to be believed, MSN and Time Warner have reached a deal on the AOL platform. So, how much will MSN pay Time Warner for AOL?

Nothing. Not one penny.

By the end of December 2005, MSN and Time Warner are expected to announce a partnership wherein the two companies will intertwine their Internet units and pursue joint advertising efforts. In turn, Google will be kicked off all AOL listings, to be replaced by MSN or some AOL-MSN mix of search results and advertisements.

The executives at Google are making a major mistake, a critical blunder. Google will lose 10 percent of its business to MSN without MSN being required to expend any resources for the business. The Google Adwords program, the primary revenue source for Google, will no longer be on AOL. Surely Google could have come up with something more enticing to AOL or at least forced MSN to pay some serious cash for the acquisition. Instead, it failed on both accounts.

Google is a great search engine, but this is just one in a number of business mistakes made by the Internet giant. How could it lose 10 percent of its business without making MSN pay for it? If MSN pulls this off, one will wonder who is at the controls at Google and what they could possibly be thinking.

Hundreds of searches daily can be seen looking for phrases like data entry jobs from home, data entry, free work from home data entry, data entry clerk, and work at home data entry jobs.

Why not work at home. You are able in many cases to make more money in less time, spend more time with your family and do it all from the comfort of your home. This is not just in America, people all around the world are taking advantage of this money making market place. With the growth of the Internet one can literally start working from home in minutes with a company on the other side of the world. What's even better is that in most cases you work from home and either get paid via PayPal, Direct Deposit or have a check mailed to you weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. This is amazing to me!

I did considerable research and highlighted the best companies in my opinion on the Internet on a specific landing page. There are so many scams out there one has to be careful to exercise caution. It is mandatory that you either use a web site like mine, but not necessarily mine or be prepared to do hours of research on these companies are you will more than likely be doomed to failure.

I tried to find programs that would compliment each other, because many people like to do more than one as the time restraints are minimal.

Another reason many people will join more than one program is the cost is so minimal. If you consider the type of money you can make, it's truly hard to believe the small fees these companies charge. That is one of the reasons that this area is so popular.

All About Milk Teeth

All About Milk Teeth

Summary:
The first set of teeth, or milk-teeth as they are called, are twenty in number; they usually appear in pairs, and those of the lower jaw generally precede the corresponding ones of the upper.

Keywords:
babies, babies teeth, milk teeth, children

Article Body:
The first set of teeth, or milk-teeth as they are called, are twenty in number; they usually appear in pairs, and those of the lower jaw generally precede the corresponding ones of the upper. The first of the milk-teeth is generally cut about the sixth or seventh month, and the last of the set at various periods from the twentieth to the thirtieth months. Thus the whole period occupied by the first dentition may be estimated at from a year and a half to two years. The process varies, however, in different individuals, both as to its whole duration, and as to the periods and order in which the teeth make their appearance. It is unnecessary, however, to add more upon this point.

Their developement is a natural process. It is too frequently, however, rendered a painful and difficult one, by errors in the management of the regimen and health of the infant, previously to the coming of the teeth, and during the process itself.

Thus, chiefly in consequence of injudicious management, it is made the most critical period of childhood. Not that I believe the extent of mortality fairly traceable to it, is by any means so great as has been stated; for it is rated as high as one sixth of all the children who undergo it. Still, no one doubts that first dentition is frequently a period of great danger to the infant. It therefore becomes a very important question to an anxious and affectionate mother, how the dangers and difficulties of teething can in any degree be diminished, or, if possible, altogether prevented. A few hints upon this subject, then, may be useful. I shall consider, first, the management of the infant, when teething is accomplished without difficulty; and, secondly, the management of the infant when it is attended with difficulty.

Management of the infant when teething is without difficulty.

In the child of a healthy constitution, which has been properly, that is, naturally, fed, upon the milk of its mother alone, the symptoms attending teething will be of the mildest kind, and the management of the infant most simple and easy.

Symptoms:- The symptoms of natural dentition (which this may be fairly called) are, an increased flow of saliva, with swelling and heat of the gums, and occasionally flushing of the cheeks. The child frequently thrusts its fingers, or any thing within its grasp, into its mouth. Its thirst is increased, and it takes the breast more frequently, though, from the tender state of the gums, for shorter periods than usual. It is fretful and restless; and sudden fits of crying and occasional starting from sleep, with a slight tendency to vomiting, and even looseness of the bowels, are not uncommon. Many of these symptoms often precede the appearance of the tooth by several weeks, and indicate that what is called "breeding the teeth" is going on. In such cases, the symptoms disappear in a few days, to recur again when the tooth approaches the surface of the gum.

Treatment:- The management of the infant in this case is very simple, and seldom calls for the interference of the medical attendant. The child ought to be much in the open air, and well exercised: the bowels should be kept freely open with castor oil; and be always gently relaxed at this time. Cold sponging employed daily, and the surface of the body rubbed dry with as rough a flannel as the delicate skin of the child will bear; friction being very useful. The breast should be given often, but not for long at a time; the thirst will thus be allayed, the gums kept moist and relaxed, and their irritation soothed, without the stomach being overloaded. The mother must also carefully attend, at this time, to her own health and diet, and avoid all stimulant food or drinks.

From the moment dentition begins, pressure on the gums will be found to be agreeable to the child, by numbing the sensibility and dulling the pain. For this purpose coral is usually employed, or a piece of orris-root, or scraped liquorice root; a flat ivory ring, however, is far safer and better, for there is no danger of its being thrust into the eyes or nose. Gentle friction of the gums, also, by the finger of the nurse, is pleasing to the infant; and, as it seems to have some effect in allaying irritation, may be frequently resorted to. In France, it is very much the practice to dip the liquorice-root, and other substances, into honey, or powdered sugar-candy; and in Germany, a small bag, containing a mixture of sugar and spices, is given to the infant to suck, whenever it is fretful and uneasy during teething. The constant use, however, of sweet and stimulating ingredients must do injury to the stomach, and renders their employment very objectionable.

How to Quickly Build Credibility for Your Online Business

How to Quickly Build Credibility for Your Online Business

Word Count:
644

Summary:
Building credibility is the corner stone of business success and one which many online businesses battle with. Current techniques for building credibility online, whilst effective, are slow and have had limited success in boosting sales conversions. But a new player is on the field, one which is seeing online businesses improve conversion rates by 300-400%, if your in business you cant afford not to know about this

Keywords:
video marketing, video communications, online marketing, small business marketing

Article Body:

It doesn't matter whether your business is off- line or on-line the basic needs of customers are the same. To part with their hard earned cash your customers must feel they are getting value for money and are not going to be "ripped off".  In other words they need to trust YOU and YOUR PRODUCT

With an off line business you can build credibility by having a professional looking business premises, product merchandising and good customer service. Most times customers will make a purchase because things "look and feel right" even though it may be the first time they have been to that business.

With on-line business however, it is much more difficult to establish credibility.  Current techniques employed by many online businesses include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Professional web design and hosting
• Providing Contact Information
• Privacy Policies
• Customer Testimonials
• Money Back Guarantee
• Secure Services

But despite all these measures, even the marketing guru's will tell you, most people don't buy from you the first visit it takes repeated exposure and you must first nurture a relationship with them. In fact it has become standard online business procedure to gather the email address of visitors, often through the inducement of free gifts, and than follow up with a series of auto-responder messages in order to build a trust relationship.

Now this technique of building trust, although effective, takes time and as time is money, months can be a long time to wait, especially if this particular business is your main source of income. So how can you develop this relationship quicker?  Answer – Add Video to your websites and emails.

Businesses that have introduced video communications to their marketing program have reported a 300%-400% increase in sales conversions. Why? Because people feel comfortable buying a product or service when they know the people and business they're dealing with.

By introducing yourself, staff and marketing message through video you can break down barriers, create rapport and differentiate your business in the minds of the buyer.  They can get to know you as if they have met you in person and because they have a visual and auditory memory of you, you will make a longer lasting impression than if they had just seen your picture or read about you in print.

Using video e-mails and adding streaming video to your Web site is simple and easy.  In fact, it's as easy as sending text e-mails, and cutting and pasting text. Most small businesses already have all the necessary skills to send video e-mails and post streaming video online, add to this the emergence of web based video portals offering video e-mail, video on demand, video instant messaging, and live Web casts, they now also have a mechanism for sending video communications to buyers quickly and easily without investing a lot in additional software or computer equipment.

As personal rich media goes mainstream consumers will expect businesses to communicate through video.  Businesses that don't, risk losing credibility as professional players and losing market share to more dominate competitors with a stronger visual presence.  Forrester Research predicts that "streaming video will grow from a $2 billion dollars industry to a $12 billion dollar industry in a few short years."  If you're a small business owner, you can't ignore this growing trend.

Developing customer relationships through print alone can be a drawn out tasks that may take months. But by adding video, the relationship can start immediately, all you need to do is be yourself, present you business honestly and focus on your customers needs. It really is not as hard as you think, just think of the off-line business strategies that build customer confidence, put it on video and voila you've created a personalized online experience that will have your customers whipping out their credit cards

Effectively Using Overture/Yahoo To Get Website Visitors

Effectively Using Overture/Yahoo To Get Website Visitors

Word Count:
720

Summary:
Learn how to use Overture/Yahoo marketing services to effectively get visitors to your websites on a large scale.

Keywords:
Overture Yahoo Services, Internet Marketing Strategies, Website Visitors, increase traffic

Article Body:

Overture or now known as Yahoo because of Yahoo's takeover, was the original inventor of the use of the P4P or Pay for Performance. Overture saw that the internet was fast becoming the easiest and most convenient way to shop, and advertising was going to hit at an all time high because of the many businesses in the arena.

To get a person to go to a site than others, it needs to be very visible. Providing ads that could direct potential consumers and costumers to their site would allow them to have an increase in traffic as well as sales. Yahoo provides a service that can put a site or company's ad in their sites that can be shown when certain keywords are inputted.

Yahoo offers a chance for any company to increase their traffic by using their services. With more people being aware of your site, there would be more traffic and visitors to your site given the chance to view your pages as well as your products. With even a small percentage of successful sales, with a high traffic volume this could still be a substantial figure for your company.

Getting a consistent substantial flow of website visitors is every company's goal. Many methods are devised and utilized to ensure that there would be more people to boost the sales and to be aware of the existence of such a product or service. Website visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business.

Yahoo/Overture utilizes the same principle as Google's Adwords. In fact, they are very similar to each other that they use keyword and keyword phrase searches and to determine which ads to show per search. When a person types in a keyword or keyword phrase to search for anything, the search engines gives out the results in a page. Then at the right side of the page, you will see selected ads that have paid for their ads to be viewed with certain keywords and keyword phrases searched.

For example, Lets say you run a car parts retail/wholesale site. You choose keywords that can prompt or trigger your ads to be shown in the page when a keyword is searched. When a search engine user types in Honda Accord, your ad may come up if you have designated that as one of your keywords. You don't need to fully optimize your site with Search Engine Optimization methods and techniques.

While some labor so hard to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search, you get the chance to be on the top of the list or at least in the first page of a search result increasing your chance to be clicked on. With that, you drive traffic and website visitors to your site a lot faster.

You will have to pony up some cash when using this service though. There are different ways Yahoo/Overture will charge you. It may be in the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or in the many times your ad is clicked on. Others offer many other services like having your ad show up not only in the search engine pages but also with some third party sites.

Third party sites support ads that have the same theme or niche as them. With more areas your ad is shown, you increase the chances of people knowing about your site or product. With more website visitors you increase the sales of your site which makes your investment with your ads a wise one.

With so many competitions in the internet based businesses, it is necessary to take a huge leap forward from the pack by advertising. Yahoo/Overture will be a great place to start. Many have utilized their services and have reaped the rewards of this decision. It's a marketing strategy that will increase your website visitors as well as increase your sales resulting to profit.

It takes money to make money, while there are some methods that are basically low cost or free, using a marketing service such as what Yahoo/Overture offers will provide results faster and on a larger scale. Many businesses have learned this the hard way, don't be counted with them.

AdSense – is it all that the hype says it is?

AdSense – is it all that the hype says it is?

Word Count:
959

Summary:
We've all seen the hype surrounding AdSense, contextual advertising on your web site, and heard the stories of people banking thousands from this groundbreaking concept. But… for every person banking $1,000's there are many, many more who are banking less than $50 per month.  There are many reasons for this so let's examine a few.

Article Body:
We've all seen the hype surrounding AdSense, contextual advertising on your web site, and heard the stories of people banking thousands from this groundbreaking concept. But… for every person banking $1,000's there are many, many more who are banking less than $50 per month.  There are many reasons for this so let's examine a few.

* Value of the ads – despite the hype over the high paying keywords, many keyword pay only a few cents to the advertiser (that's you).  The high paying keywords are fiercely fought over by both bidders and advertisers.  That's a fierce arena for someone with little experience and little traffic to their site.  So forget about throwing up a "meso" or credit web site and then sitting back and banking your new found fortune.  That is probably not going to happen.

* Your business model – there are two ways to profit from AdSense – a few web sites with loads of traffic or numerous web sites with average traffic.  The concept is the same as with any business – it's "bums on seats" or "people through the door" that make the money.

Looking at the first model – plainly the problem is to get many interested people to your web site – preferably those seeking information so that if they don't find it on your site, they click on one of your ads and move onto another site – leaving you with a few cents as they leave you.  Traffic, as any internet marketer will tell you, is not only the life blood of your business, but is also very expensive and time consuming to build up.  Shouldn't you be looking at capturing emails for your mailing list or selling them something rather than letting them go leaving you a few cents in tips.  Of course if you merely look at AdSense as a secondary income, then these few cents are more than welcome.

Let's look now at the second model – the pile it high concept.  You need numerous very large sites, all attracting high paying words with thousands of pages, to make a good living with AdSense.  There is a place for this, and indeed we sell large batches of densely keyworded AdSense article sites ourselves – because we know they work.  But… here is the problem.  In order to make them work – you need not only a lot of domain names, but also a serious amount of hosting and we are talking paid hosting, not the no cost stuff.  Many packs sold have over 100 sites and tens of thousands of pages.  100 sites means 100 domains – that is about $1,000 a year and a lot of time finding good ones.  Of course you could use sub domains, but then you have problems getting them all into the search engines and pay per click advertising.  10,000+ pages and 100 domains – that's a server you need to rent, be it virtual or actual.  That is serious money each month – and you have still not earned a dime! You have to earn a serious number of click thrus to cover your annual and monthly fees.

* The ads themselves – just as banners are no way as effective as they once were, then surfers are growing weary of AdSense ads.  This is especially so of those ugly sites that just throw up the maximum 3 sets of ads in the default colors, not caring if they are messy and detract from the site.  Many of these sites contain minimal information and are spoiling it for those that make much more effort with their internet business.  Google knows it has a cash cow and a virtual monopoly with the AdSense business, I can't see it letting this happen for too much longer, but sadly it will take a long time to clear up and, as this happens, surfers will get more and more immune to the ads.

It's not as if you can encourage your visitors to use the links, or disguise the ads, or even place graphics around them – all forbidden by the Google Terms of Service. 

So what can you do to keep making a secondary income from your web sites? 

Well if you want to stay with Google and why not? Then; understand that it is a business and be prepared to spend out on advertising, test your product, refine your web site, tailor your advert design to your web site and lastly offer good value to your surfers.

Lastly look elsewhere – we found a great software program that lets you provide contextual adverts on your web site derived from the 1,000's of high commission paying products in ClickBank.  The beauty is that you can merge these ads into your web site, draw attention to them, encourage people to click on them and add graphics to them.  Better than that, although you don't get paid when someone clicks on the ads, your Clickbank name is added to the link, so if someone buys from the powerful sales page you send them to, you make a very large commission – up to about $75 from some sites?

So AdSense is a great system, but what about looking at other methods? – Just a thought!

The title of this article can be answered by a simple yes or no. But it is the most important one to ask yourself again and again. Undoubtedly, most people starting their Home Business will answer this question with a firm yes. Why else would they start it in the first place? But what happens after a few months? Many people start to doubt and don¡¯t know what to do next to get those sales.

Of all the tricks, formulas, ad campaigns that help you be a success in your Home Business, the one that is most important is your confidence in your success. The moment you start to doubt everything else you are doing is not important anymore. Do you recognise this? Sure you do! Everybody has been in such a situation. Not believing anymore in your business is like killing it softly. You still do your thing, but less energetic, and not so much of it as you used to, and with less creativity.

People who start to lose hope are the ones who eventually stop their Home Business. How can you make sure this does not happen to you? First of all, make it clear to yourself that it will take time and that it is not easy to be successful in your Home Business. It is no problem to be realistic, which should not be confused with a negative look on business. Second of all, know that there is a good chance that not everything you do will be a success. Be prepared to change your action plan and that you sometimes need to change your direction. And third of all, be determined.

The above are three simple rules to obey, but hard to follow. Many times these three simple rules are overpowered by all the other things that come your way when doing your Home Business. What about the numerous success stories of others? Great to hear, but forget about them. You are You and You know that it is all about Your belief and not about theirs. Or what about the incredible offers that give you a load of traffic and sales? Fantastic, but concentrate on the thing you do and forget all those offers that just will give you an unrealistic expectation. I wish all of you a great conviction and the rest will come.

Article Body:
Article marketing can increase your business prospects, publicity, and profits. Writing compelling "how to" articles will educate and inform your target market, transforming you into a trusted source of information.
It's a powerful way to go from a relative unknown to an expert in your field virtually overnight.
How does this help your bottom line?
Chasing clients is a tedious and often unrewarding exercise. Instead of chasing them, you can win them over by sharing your knowledge and expertise.
For instance, you can write short "how to" articles of 250-700 words related to your industry. Then submit them to various article directory sites for wide exposure to hundreds or thousands of online publishers.
By allowing them to be freely published by website owners and newsletter publishers, your articles could be viewed by millions of Internet users who might otherwise never have heard about your small business.
This is an incredible, low-cost marketing tool that generates targeted website traffic and helps build your mailing list.
Articles as Free Advertising
Posting free-reprint articles on reputable article websites such as Ezine Articles (http://www.ezinearticles.com ) and Idea Marketers (http://www.ideamarketers.com ) will save you a lot of money on advertising. You'll gain publicity and a lot of credibility for your business.
Of course, your article submissions should be purposeful and beneficial to those who will be reading them. After all, the whole point is not only to attract the attention of potential clients but to engage them with your ideas and information.
First, identify your target audience and think about what they'd like to read about.
Then, when you have your subject matter chosen, you can begin researching and writing your item. Here are some suggestions to make your articles more effective:
Article Writing Tips
• The Title: This is one of the most important parts of an article because it's the first thing the reader sees. Make your title powerful and be sure it accurately represents the subject matter that follows it.
• The Truth: No one likes false advertising so make sure all of the information in your article is truthful. You want people to trust you, and you want to establish a good reputation. Openly sharing honest insider knowledge is a great way to earn that trust and respect.
• Write Many Articles: Don't try to stuff everything into a single article. Save some information for a Part II or perhaps a series.
• Think Strategically. The goal of article writing is to inspire an action. For instance, prepare a short "teaser" item and prompt readers to click to your website for more information.
• Spread it Around: Joining forums is another excellent way to get in touch with new prospects. Try posting your existing articles and commentaries to appropriate forums along with your signature file. People will learn about you and your business, and some will click through to your website.
The more you learn about how to effectively use article distribution, the more it will benefit your business delivering a substantial increase in website traffic and sign ups.
Remember, use the articles you submit to tantalize and tempt your readers so they get a taste of what they can expect from your business and want more. That way you can stop chasing after clients and get them to come to you.

How Much Can I Make summiting articles?

How Much Can I Make summiting articles?

Summary:
NOT available to public

Keywords:
advertising, marketing, online business, promotion, ecommerce, SEO

Article Body:
The following article covers a topic that has recently moved to center stage--at least it seems that way. If you've been thinking you need to know more about it, here's your opportunity.

How much you can make from placing articles and affiliate links on your website differs from person to person. How much you are able to make will depend mostly on how successful your site is. This means getting good search engine rankings through SEO efforts, making your site enjoyable and informative to read through engaging content, building your site around a great niche subject, how big your site is, and how many sites you have.
Some people claim to make as much as $10,000 per month ($120,000 per year) through building and promoting niche sites, however, most people should not expect this kind of success, especially if you are very new, as that kind of success usually only comes with experience and acquired skill. A reasonable income to expect from a niche site, after you have worked for months to gain traffic and are hooked up with good affiliates, may be $500-$1,000 per month. However this is recurring income, so you will make that much monthly off of the efforts you put into that one site, it is not a one shot deal. 
It seems like new information is discovered about something every day. And the topic of Articles is no exception. Keep reading to get more fresh news about Articles.
After you have a successful site, most choose to continue to build niche sites. The more sites that you build, the better an income you can generate. Some also choose to build very fast and very short sites over sites that are slightly longer in length. It should be noted that the larger each of your sites are, the more income you will likely generate off of them.
When starting out, it is important to remember that your first site will always be your hardest, since you are just learning the ropes of the business, and that not everyone is cut out to market and promote niche sites. It may not work out for you and you may end up losing a little bit of money, but that is a risk that everyone in this business has to take.
The important thing is that you don't give up without a good shot at it, if this is really what you want to do. Your first site may take a long time, the work may be tedious, and you may feel like throwing in the towel. However, if you give up too early, you will never know what could have been. And who knows, you may be the next great website marketer!

Summary:
Many businesses need to convert recorded voice to text and have long been looking for ways to do it quickly and inexpensively. Is voice recognition software the answer?

Keywords:

Article Body:
Many businesses need to convert recorded voice to text and have long been looking for ways to do it quickly and inexpensively. Transcribing medical dictation is a prime example.

Some years ago, when voice recognition software became commercially available, most people expected that the solution had finally arrived. Businesses looked forward to cutting down on transcription costs and everyone who hated typing looked forward to getting rid of their keyboard.

Unfortunately, the reality turned out to be rather different. Voice-to-text technology has been a big let down so far.

The fact is, voice recognition software is easily thrown off track by many different factors. If you don't speak clearly and distinctly, it may not give you the right output. If you try using it in a noisy place, it will fail more often than not. If you have an accent, it may not understand you. Even if you have a bad cold, you'll find that the software may give incorrect results!

In other words, voice recognition software works reasonably well under ideal, laboratory conditions, but not in a typical home or business setting!

Healthcare professionals who attempted to use voice recognition technologies to eliminate transcription services found that they need to "train" the software to function well. That takes a long time and a lot of work. Most wound up continuing to outsource their medical transcription work.

Of course, there are many other types of situations where transcription is needed. Examples include recordings of seminars, teleconferences, interviews and classes that need to be converted to text.

In natural speech, people tend to use lots of "aahs" and "umms" as well as unnecessary phrases like "you know". Current voice recognition technology is just not capable of filtering out such irrelevant sounds or words.

In addition, people also string together several sentences using "ands". The software can't break up such speech into meaningful sentences. Nor can it break up speech into meaningful paragraph units the way a transcriptionist can.

And if the recording is filled with background noise, or if more than one person is talking at the same time, the software will not function reliably and consistently.

Maybe sometime in the future someone will invent voice recognition technology that can handle all the above issues. Till then businesses will need to use transcription services, particularly for work like medical transcription, where accuracy is critical.

When starting out as an affiliate promoting someone elses product or website it is normal to swing for the fence. However, this can eventually end in failure. Setting realistic sales and income goals can actually motivate and ensure longevity. For example everyone wants to make a million dollars and retire early. This is achievable if you set your goals realistically.

The Internet is the grand illusion that paints this portrait of instant riches to the average online marketer. Newcomers often think they will see immediate income and be able to retire in 3-6 months. While this has happened for some the majority need a 3-5 year plan for success. The Internet guru's and scam artists can be blamed for this tragic reality. They often write ad copy that paints this grand illusion just to get their hands on your money. Success is easier online than a traditional brick and mortar business but it just takes time and focus.

It is safe to say your first few months in business will be trial and error, learning as much as you can about marketing online and off and figuring out what works. Everyone should have a marketing budget and stay within that budget and grow advertising expenses as the profits start to come in. Setting a goal to at least cover your car payment within 3 months is realistic. Then add to it every three months.

Add your credit card payments from month 3-6 and then your utility bills to month 6-9 and then the grand daddy of them your entire mortgage by month 12. Even if you just made an extra $300 a month and never added any more income, that could be used to accelerate the pay-off of debts and then put into a IRA to build retirement income. A $300 a month investment for 5 years at a 10% return in a tax-deferred account could end up being well over $21,000. Then include compounding interest as the years go on you get into the millions by year twenty.

Add an extra $100 to your monthly credit card payment and you can pay it off in 1-2 years as opposed to 15-20. The power of making extra money online is all in how you look at it. Keep your day job, set realistic income and sales goals, track them daily, weekly, monthly and yearly and you will see your income grow and grow.

Summary:
It's been said there's more happiness (and success) in giving than in receiving. This is especially true of giving of yourself during National Black Business Month.

Here's a plan for getting more growth for your business during this special month of activity.

Article Body:
It's been said there's more happiness (and success) in giving than in receiving. This is especially true of giving of yourself during National Black Business Month.

Here's a plan for getting more growth for your business during this special month of activity.

1) Give Of Yourself

What can you give to others that will bring genuine appreciation from prospects and clients? To come up with ideas ask yourself if you can offer any of the following:

• A free product or service
• A special discount or gift
• A valuable report or other information product related to the services or products you offer

The ideas for giving to others are endless.

By focusing on giving instead of focusing on receiving, your business will automatically attract new clients and new opportunities.

Attracting new clients through giving is just one way to grow. Several marketing methods used simultaneously can be just as powerful for increasing profits for established companies.

2) Increase The Frequency Of Client Purchases

Apply as many profitable marketing methods as possible for increasing the number of times throughout the year your clients buy.

The more frequently your clients buy, the more money your company generates. For ideas on how to increase buying frequency, grab my checklist of 101 marketing methods. You'll find the checklist at www.AndreBell.com/articles/

3) Increase The Volume Of Purchases

Adopt marketing methods that will increase the average dollar amount of each client transaction. Begin using point of purchase incentives. Promote "one time offers" to encourage spontaneous purchases. Also, try imitating Mc Donald's way of combining multiple items together as a "value" purchase. In other words, encourage clients to "Supersize".

4) Increase Customer Retention/Reduce Attrition

Clients drift away for a number of reasons. Often complacency of business owners and staff is the cause. And sometimes clients drift away for reasons that have nothing to do with us.

"Salvaging" clients from leaving has the same impact on your bottom line as increasing sales by that same percentage. This is as close to getting free money as a business is likely ever to find.

And it's easier and cheaper to improve your bottom line by preventing attrition, than prospecting or advertising to generate sales through new clients.

An excellent example of a powerful client retention program (though leaning towards the dark side) is America Online's Retention Manual

Copies of AOL's client retention program are floating around the internet.

Simply go to Google.com and type in "AOL Retention Manual". You'll come across the manual fairly quickly by visiting consumer awareness sites.

Study AOL's client retention program for ideas on how to ethically adapt their guidelines into your business. Also, start a client loyalty program. Regular, ongoing communications help clients see you are thinking of them and care about them.

5) Increase Sales Conversions

Increasing inquiry-to-sales conversion will increase a company's income without increasing costs.

To improve sales conversion rate first target and market to only the highest probability prospects. Also provide formal sales training to sales staff.

Though many companies have seen huge 300% increases in sales as a result of sales training, typically, adding a sales training program has proven to immediately increase sales by 15%. That's immediate, the same month the training is initiated.

Sales training is clearly worth the reward. Unfortunately though few small to medium sized companies have a systematic or scheduled training system. Perhaps a fear of unknown costs holds them back.

The thing is, sales training doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive.

A company can simply record the top sales reps during actual selling situations. Determine what top sales reps are saying and doing that other employees are not saying and doing. Then train all sales staff to implement those same sales processes.

Of course you'd want to take into consideration the legalities of recording live sales situations before doing so.

If you prefer a formal sales training system, there are many to choose from. Not all are of value. Stick to proven sales training systems.

6) Increase Response Rate To Existing Offers

In a nutshell this involves writing better and better ads, sales letters, and marketing pieces. A key factor in improving response to offers is removing common marketing mistakes

Unfortunately there isn't enough time or space to list here all the steps needed to improve your marketing communications. So I recommend reading my book, "31 Overlooked Marketing Mistakes That Can Cripple Your Business." I'm giving this book away 100% absolutely free this month. Get a free copy at

7) Calculate And Increase The Lifetime Referral Value Of Clients

This involves calculating and tracking the average referral value of your clients. Once you know how much each customer is worth to your bottom line in terms of referral value, you'll know how much money you can invest in a formal referral system and still profit.

The beauty of referral systems is the clients and customers who come your way are presold. They have less resistance, they spend more, and they're more loyal than clients acquired through advertising.

A referral program can be as simple and informal as creating a basic referral recommendation form and asking for referrals at the point of purchase. Or you could get fancy by implementing a formal referral program that involves a series of postcards and sales letters asking for referrals, and thank you gifts to existing and past clients, vendors, and even competitors.

8) Find New Uses For Your Existing Products And Services

Sometimes when we are so close to our businesses we tend to think one way and do things only one way. One client I consulted with had a struggling business that was excellent at providing their products and services.

The problem was their marketing sucked. The owner couldn't see past making occasional personal sales calls or just paying his monthly "due" for his yellow pages ad. Outside of those two activities they simply sat back and hoped and waited for something magical to happen. It didn't.

If that wasn't enough, a very aggressive multi-billion dollar national franchise moved into the area. This sent my client's already shaky business careening down hill even faster.

My client could not afford to go head-to-head with such a large competitor. So we looked for overlooked opportunities. One solution we found was to stop fighting solely on a local level but to go global. We covertly set about putting in place systems for helping people across the country and abroad launch independent businesses in this same industry.

We set things up so each of these independent companies had to outsource to my client. No other option would work.

The obvious win to my client is they get ongoing revenues their major competitors are clueless to. The win to the independent business owners is they get to run their own businesses without the typical six to seven figure debt that comes from correctly starting a business in that industry.

There are many other ways to create new uses for your existing products and services too.

9) "Package" And Profit From Your Specialized Knowledge

This involves publishing and marketing your specialized knowledge. I have yet to find anyone in business who hasn't generated unique experience or methods that others wouldn't be dying to pay to learn.

Your experience can save someone else valuable time and money.

For example, repackaging my 29 years of specialized knowledge is how I primarily earn my living today. It's what I do daily and help others do too. I've consulted with doctors and dentist, service business owners, authors, entrepreneurs, technology companies, landscapers, and others.

The ironic thing is...I'm a college drop out.

Don't get me wrong. I love learning. I'm a perpetual student. But college moved too slow for me. What I could learn in a week from delving into sp[eed reading books and speaking with others who were already in an industry, would take several months or years to accomplish in college.

Despite quiting my first year of college, I now advise some of the brightest minds on earth.

It's not because of being brighter than others. It's simply because of the specialized knowledge I've acquired over the past 29 years of attending numerous independent workshops and courses, studying some 2,000 books, videos, and recordings on nearly every business subject under the sun, from directly working in ten different industries, and from advising hundreds of business owners in seven countries.

An employer would need to hire seven to ten people (or more) to gain the same benefit of my specialized knowledge. Plus there's no guarantee after wasting time recruiting that they'll find someone qualified in each area.

That makes the gray matter between my two ears a valuable asset to business owners, as well as to others I've advised and trained to enter the consulting field.

You too have acquired specialized knowledge. Consider licensing to others what you know. Your knowledge can be 'packaged' into books, videos, seminars, teleseminars, and even through consulting and teaching.

10) Community Development

This involves the often dreaded "V" word. Volunteering.

Volunteering falls back to what I originally said in step number one: gain more success by focusing on giving instead of receiving.

Look for ways to boost your image in your community. If your business is a retail organization, likely your community is the area within a 20 mile or so radius of your business or office.

But a community can be much larger than that. Especially if you own a business-to-business company or market your business globally via the internet. In those cases your business may in fact be global.

Are there appropriate donations or sponsorships that could improve your image in your community? If there are, then reach out to your community by giving.

11) Publicity And Promotions

Closely related to community development is self-promotion.

Every business has something newsworthy to say. Come up with ideas for workshops or seminars, or unique owner expertise, or interesting client experiences that would benefit or interest your community.

Consider what is occurring now, has occurred in the past, or might predictably occur in the future that would be newsworthy to your community. Then inform your community of these events, ideas, experiences, and predictions.

Having your name dislayed as an authorityy in media your community trusts will improve your image and attract qualified clients and customers.

Also consider publishing articles or books. The purpose of publishing is to generate leads and increase company credibility.

Publish within your industry trade journals. But an even better and often overlooked opportunity for self-promotion are the official trade publications of your most profitable client's.

12) Determine A Unique Selling Position (USP)

A USP defines and communicates what makes your business new, unique, or different than everyone else in your industry. It's your competitive advantage.

For example, think of FedEx.

FedEx's USP is: "When it absolutely positively has to be there overnight".

That USP defines everything about how FedEx operates and positions itself among competitors. No one else on earth is able to use that phrase. Not the U.S. Postal Service, not UPS, not DHL. No one.

Here's another example: "Fresh and hot and to your door in 30 minutes or it's free". Who's that? Yep. Dominoes Pizza. That USP took a failing community pizza company and made it into the world's largest pizza franchise.

Here's my USP: My company is the nation's only wholly black-owned business growth firm specializing only in ethical and honest business growth strategies for businesses earning from $500,000 to $10,000,000 annually.

A USP can be a single sentence, a paragraph, or even an entire page. What a USP isn't is a worthless slogan or vague and intangible mission statement.

A USP is much more powerful than both. It truly sets the company apart. It says something that is impossible for others to claim.

Your USP defines what makes your company unique. Consider what you can say about your business that will set it apart from your competitors...not only this month but for years to come.

If you have chosen a career path that leads you directly to your own front door, then you are not alone.  In fact, many people work at home and earn a full-time income, which allows them to keep a close eye on their children, create flexible schedules and save significantly on the cost of commuting.  Whether you're a veteran home worker or you are just starting out, keep the following tips in mind to help turn your job into a career:

Define a space for your office.  When you work at home, a room that's free from distraction is a must.  You may choose to convert one of your bedrooms into a home office or you may have a library that will serve as the perfect place to set up a quiet work area.  Whatever your preference, it's important to define your office space as one that's not located in a high traffic location of the house.

Promote your business.  As someone who works at home, you may be operating on a limited budget in the beginning.  Whether your funds are tight or you simply believe in stretching your dollar, try your hand at free publicity.  You can promote your business with press releases distributed online, to magazines and local newspapers.  In addition, you may also be able to snag some airtime on the radio if you agree to an interview and your business is one of interest to the general public. 

Make a schedule and stick to it.  Just because you work at home doesn't mean that you cannot separate the two.  Believe it or not, you can still divide your home and work life even when the two are located in the same space.  In fact, it's extremely important that you learn to do this in order to avoid the feeling of always being at work.  You can help to make this possible by setting a schedule and sticking to it.  First, decide whether you wish to work part-time or full-time and then figure out the hours that are most convenient for you.  If you develop a 'whenever' schedule, you may find yourself feeling torn between something that you need to do and something that you want to do.  By having defined work hours, you will know when you are free for leisure and, best of all, you will have the time to enjoy it.

Keep accurate records.  For tax purposes, it's important that you keep all receipts for business transactions.  This includes purchases of office equipment and furniture, supplies and accessories.  If you have trouble keeping up with all of your receipts, store them in your office in a box with the word 'receipts' written in clear view for easy access.

Purchase individual health insurance.  If you are self-employed, it's up to you to purchase your own health insurance plan.  While many people who work for an employer have this benefit provided to them as part of their employment package, you will be faced with having to search for coverage on your own.  The good news is that health insurance for self-employed individuals is not difficult to find.  In fact, many major insurance companies offer this type of coverage and can provide a quote via the telephone. 

The information contained in this article is designed to be used for reference purposes only.  It should not be used as, in place of or in conjunction with professional business and/or financial advice relating to the operation of a home-based business.  For additional information on this topic, consult with a business advisor or financial planner in your area.

Article Body:
The stresses and strains of everyday life can bring with it a variety of emotional health problems. These can include depression, anxiety, insomnia, irritability and panic attacks. In this article I write about each of these potential problems and suggest solutions to overcome them.

Depression

I am sure that we all become depressed at different times of our life, I certainly do. It is easy to let things and people get us down. We can start to feel sorry for ourselves and to think that the world is working against us.

The brain has two halves, positive and negative. In these periods of depression the negative side assumes control and it can become very hard to get out of this rut.

I see the positive side of my brain as an apple and the negative side as a pear. If I only ever eat pears, I will not be able to experience the joy of eating apples. In short I have to give the positive side a chance to help me to reach a state of happiness and I need to learn to ignore the negative.

Anxiety and panic attacks

At times people start becoming anxious about their future or even about their present situation. This can in certain cases even lead on to panic attacks.

In my opinion worrying does not help the situation, it only makes things worse. I have to say that I do worry and that the cloud of doom does descend over my life at regular intervals. When this occurs I try very hard to break the cycle and I even talk to the demons in my head. I have a battle of wills with them. I tell them that they will not win and that I will not stress anymore. This is not that simple but is what I try to do.

Insomnia

Having trouble with sleeping at night can happen for a number of reasons, the main one of which is stress. Other causes are snoring, an intake of too much caffeine, a noisy environment or depression.

I have written about stress and depression already, it is also time to cut down on the coffee. A simple suggestion in potentially solving insomnia, is to read a book in bed before attempting to get to sleep. This book should help you to get your mind away from any anxieties you may have, it should relax your body and should also tire your eyes.

Irritability

When people lose sleep or work to hard they can become over tired and this can lead to irritability. This can cause people to have a higher pulse rate, making their muscles feel tight and can leave people also feeling anxious and lethargic.

It is important to therefore ensure that you obtain a good amount of hours sleep per night (at least seven)and that you only work a certain amount of hours per week. Money is important to people, however in my opinion health should be the priority.

Solutions to these emotional health problems

I have come to realise that I need to treat myself from time to time. I have always found it difficult to relax and would often feel stressed and under pressure.

I now use various methods at different times of the year to help me to chill out a bit and to reward my body. These include aromatherapy, using herbal products, attending tai chi lessons and I have even tried Yoga. I must admit I could never get to grips with Yoga, however have heard it can prove to be very beneficial to people who can.

Meditation

My favourite form of relaxation is by meditating. I do this by sitting on a straight back chair and by basically concentrating with my eyes closed. I pay particular notice to my breathing and it has certainly helped me to see things in a much clearer way.

In conclusion there are many ways of reducing emotional health problems and with determination you are able to see your way to a better and brighter future.
