$100 Per Day With Adsense - Possible?

These are proven techniques for making Google AdSense, which will work on most blogs and websites. There is no secret system, you just have to think smart and put the time and effort into making things happen. Don't start out on the Google AdSense path and think you are instantly going to be making 1000's of dollars a week. It isn't going to happen.

The most important step to making money from Google AdSense is to increase the volume of traffic to your blog or website. Simple ways of doing this is by distributing your articles to ezine lists, article announcement lists, blog carnivals, social bookmarks sites and yahoo groups. For this to work you need to write at least one new article a day, which needs to be of a good quality and interesting.

Create the ad units so that they blend in with your blog. You will need to go into your Google AdSense control panel and enter the hex color codes from your website or blog. Make sure the text color; background color, and link colors all match your blog.

Don't use borders around the ad unit boxes. Again, you want the boxes to blend, you will have to color code the borders to match the background so that they become invisible.

Find profitable niche markets, it is important not to choose markets where the cost per click is too low to make it worth your while. I suggest that you do some keyword research and find out roughly what the cost per click is in Ad Words. Usually this will be a good indication as to whether this will be successful.

Keywords are of great importance, you have to make sure that your content is not overstuffed with particular keywords to the point of destroying readability and value. What you need to do is master the art of making sure your articles make liberal use of on-topic keywords, which are likely to generate the most relevant ads. Experts maintain that using keywords with your titles and H1 tags is any excellent way to assist in getting the most relevant possible adds

3 Pillars of a Solid Home Based Business

3 Pillars of a Solid Home Based Business

In this day and age it is almost impossible to maintain a decent standard of living on one paycheck, but in a family where children are involved it is not always feasible for both dad and mom to have a job outside of the home. Daycare expenses, the need for a second car, and too much time away from the children are some common drawbacks. This however is the exact situation that a Home Based Business works to its greatest advantage.

Home Based Businesses are great and can be extremely profitable but without the proper knowledge and tools you can waste an incredible amount of time and/or money which defeats the purpose you started out with, namely to make money and have time to do the things you want to do. This article was written to give the average person like you and I a practical guideline to getting started in a home based business the right way, and to save you wasted time and money.

My experience has shown me that there are basically 3 main pillars or principles of a solid home based business.

Pillar #1: It must have minimal start up cost.

A home based business that has a high start up cost will take longer to see a profit, and as we said earlier, time is one of the things we are trying to cut down on. Minimal cost will also make the home based business more assessable to a larger amount of families or individuals who are just starting out.

Pillar #2: It must be easy to set up and maintain.

The more complicated your home business project, no matter what it is, the more likely you are to give up out of sheer frustration before you see a profit. A business that is easy to set up and maintain will give you confidence and a sense of accomplishment as you complete each simple step in the process.

Let's face it if you enjoyed wasting a lot of time and effort maintaining a home based business you would not be reading this article. This is about freeing you to spend time with your family and doing the things you love, not creating another taskmaster to replace your job! The first two pillars of a solid home based business are necessary for the third to occur.

Pillar #3: It must have a quick return on investment. (ROI)

You can spend months building a home based business but it there is never any real profit generated in a reasonable amount of time many people may get discouraged and give up. What is a reasonable amount of time? I would plan for a time frame on the order of weeks instead of months. Depending on the type of home based business some people have had a decent ROI within days, and unbelievable as it may sound some businesses that deal with affiliate marketing and sales can see profit as early as 15 minutes from startup!

You may be thinking to yourself "that's too simple!" Let me say that within these 3 pillars there is plenty of detail to keep anyone busy. The business that you choose to start should definitely be something that interests you and possibly even something that you already have a measure of experience in doing. Whatever home based business you get involved in make sure that it is propped up by the 3 pillars listed in this article. Do not make the mistake of overcomplicating your efforts or you will see very quickly that you will get bogged down with a lot of needlessly wasted time and effort.

Here is to your home based business success.

3 Free Website Marketing Ideas - Easy And Quick

Online marketing is not cheap. You can spend thousands of dollars on Pay Per Click (Google Adwords) and thousands of site-targetted dollars (AdBrite), and you can spend thousands just buying text links from individual sites. Trust me, I've spent thousands on advertising.

However, my favorite form of marketing is the free kind. Anything free I like, especially if it helps my websites make more money without increasing my advertising costs.

Here are three easy and quick ways to market your website at no additional cost.

1. Free Business Cards

Free business cards are a staple in my advertising arsenal. You can leave them everywhere and give them to anyone. The best part is, they are free! Use them where you want, when you want, and as often as possible. That is the motto I live by whenever I get a shipment of free business cards in the mail.

2. Link Exchanges

Link exchanges are a great way of spreading Page Rank, but also of sharing visitors. Most people who like a site will bookmark it. After they have read everything they want, they will read the site that you link to. You get the visitors, and share the visitor through a link exchange.

3. Business card networking

After you have received your free business cards, use them to network with other people. Every time you meet someone, hand them one of your free business cards. After that, ask for one of their business cards in exchange. If they don't have one, make sure you mention what you do, and the website address that is also listed on your free business card. Free business cards make a great networking tool if you will put them to use. Never forget, they are free, and should not be used sparingly. Use them in any situation you can think of. People will take them home and visit your site when they pull your business card out of their pocket.

With those three free website marketing ideas, your website will not only be more successful, but you won't have to spend any of your hard earned money on marketing!

Summary:

Online marketing is not cheap. You can spend thousands of dollars on Pay Per Click (Google Adwords) and thousands of site-targetted dollars (AdBrite), and you can spend thousands just buying text links from individual sites. Trust me, I've spent thousands on advertising.

However, my favorite form of marketing is the free kind. Anything free I like, especially if it helps my websites make more money without increasing my advertising costs.

8 Important Elements for Small Business Web Sites

8 Important Elements for Small Business Web Sites

Key visitors to your commercial pages include web robots that crawl the internet and catalog your content. Having proper HTML source code, plus the right combination of text and graphic presentation, is just one secret to success. Proper code may mean higher robot ratings, and the look is equally important. Once a new prospect finds your web site, you have 5 seconds to get them to stay.

As a small business web site owner, you may have asked Why do not we get any hits?. Did you know web pages can load and appear correct with improper or deprecated HTML code? A browser may ignore your mistakes, and display what it thinks you meant, and it may look great. Web robots may not be as forgiving.

Following is a list of 8 basic elements for good search engine placement that need to be considered in your design and web site promotion. For details on code issues from the worldwide authority, visit the World Wide Web Consortium to view DOCTYPE and other quality standards.

1. DOCTYPE Statement

2. Page Title

3. Proper HTML Code

4. META Description

5. META Key Words

6. First Paragraph of the Home Page

7. An Extra Page of Just LINKS

8. Backlinks Links to your pages

These 8 key items are either missing or poorly designed in 85 percent of all web sites. Some search engines may only list the other 15 percent in their directories. In other words, as few as 15 percent of the 6 billion web pages online ever make it into some search engines. Even worse, there are mistakes that may result in your page being blacklisted, and the search engine web crawlers may never come back to see if it is corrected. This could explain why you never get any hits.

Web sites can be simple and professional without using fancy software to create your pages. Veteran programmers hand code and many create the HTML in NotePad. Web authors who choose to use flash, frames, or the latest software may be losing a significant portion of new visitors customers because the visitor may lack the technology or newest version of browsers. If they are turned off and leave without giving your site a fair viewing, it could mean lost profits.

Most designers use prepackaged software to create web pages. If the software leaves out any of the key elements, the code is hidden, and you will never know your site was not optimized for search engines. The designer may not know, or care, about these items as long as the page looks attractive. Note: Search engine algorithms vary by company, so some elements such as an extra page of links may not be as important today with some search robots. Backlinks refer to marketing your site and getting other web sites to link to yours.

Finally, business visitors want information. They do not visit your home page to be entertained. Most have a need (problem) and want a fast answer solution, so designs should be created to minimize the use of music or video unless that is your core business. Anything that distracts from a positive first impression may violate my 5 Second Rule.

With proper design more traffic

5 Strategies to Successful Cash Flow Management

Managing cash flow is every managers challenge, every day, every year. Those managers who keep a close eye on their daily activity and emerging industry trends can help reduce their company’s exposure to the chill of a cash crunch.

How can you predict, avoid and/or, minimize the impact of a cash emergency?

First, pay attention when any cash shortages arise. When cash gets short, pay close attention and be prepared to act. Questions to be answered include:

1. What caused the problem? Pre-payments to take advantage of special discounts can reduce cash. Transportation strikes, for example, could delay shipments and therefore payments. An industry (or economy) slowdown will often result in customers stretching out their payables.

2. How can you cope? If cash on hand is not robust, let the special discounts go. It is usually more cost-effective to pass on a discount than to borrow to overcome a shortfall. Keep up on the news. If you hear about any threatened strikes and/or disruptions to your supply chain, make sure you have a back-up position. Even if temporarily more expensive, it can save your business by showing your customers your reliability and versatility in challenging times. If your customers are in industries facing hard economic times, keep closer tabs on your credit policies and be active in collections. If necessary, tighten credit terms, but use discretion. Being firm but supportive to your customers will go a long way in keeping them in the fold while still giving you a better cash flow. Defer purchases and/or negotiate extended payments if cash gets short.

Most importantly, document both the signals of problems and your solutions. That way, if the signals happen again, you can refer to prior successful action as a first possible solution.

Imagine possible, but normally unpredictable cash flow challenges. Some problems can’t be anticipated, so “what if” scenarios can be created. You don't have to get elaborate, but you can ask what would happen if there were a flood, or, as we've experienced more recently, a devastating hurricane. What then? Other problems, such as "product sabotage" can only be dealt with as they occur. Constructing possible scenarios to reduce risks associated with “unforeseeable” problems is an important management tool. Learn from, and document, each experience, or you may have to repeat it.

Second, watch sales. Any prolonged (and "prolonged" computes differently for each company and industry) drop in sales without a comparable -- and simultaneously emerging -- reduction in expenses is a prescription for trouble. Of course, there is at usually some lag between sales changes and a compensating contraction in expenses, but early diagnosis can reduce the negative impacts significantly. Once a changing trend has been identified, act promptly or the impact of the lag will be more severe.

Third, review the budget. If short-term borrowing is regularly needed to meet normal operating costs, the unavailability of such loans or a sudden change in operating expense could be devastating.

If ongoing operations cannot be supported by sales, either more sales are needed, fewer expenses must be incurred or a combination of the two is in order. While this sounds very simple, all too many companies hesitate "in hopeful anticipation." If remedies are not introduced on a timely basis, a severe cash crunch could follow.

Fourth, keep a close eye on new product development. In many companies, R&D expenditures for new products are often allowed far greater variance from projected budgets than normal expenditures. After all, when you create something new, it is really hard to accurately predict costs -- or turnaround time -- at the outset.

Failure to keep these costs, and time commitments, within bounds or monitor their continuing impact and cost/benefit can lead to continued funding of projects well beyond when they should be cut off. Overall cash flow can be easily drained into a seemingly bottomless pit, and often an entire company is jeopardized by one errant project.

Fifth, beware of pet projects. A pet project is any organizational activity undertaken for ego value rather than consistency with the organization's mission and profit targets. Pet projects, whether new ventures or ongoing cost/profit centers, can often lead to cash flow problems. All organizations have pet projects from time to time. Failure to recognize and deal with a pet project when a cash crunch looms has been the death knell for many companies.

Many cash flow challenges have such simple origins. Often it’s simply a matter of days, or weeks and they can creep up on you. And the daily grind can cloud your vision, encourages false hope or distract you just long enough for problems to take hold. You can learn from past and/or current cash shortages. You can be watchful that sales, budget and R&D costs stay in line. You can keep a lid on pet projects. In an increasingly competitive world, you need to be alert.

Managing cash flow can be dificult at time

8 BIG Small Business Mistakes

Here’s an interesting notion: Do you realize that there are mistakes you can make at various stages of your business’ growth that can be slowly killing it for months or even years if you don’t watch for them?

Well, these mistakes do exist and they are not just reserved for the rookie companies. Many working businesses, including those you might think are successful because they’ve been around for 10+ years, are often still making them… and are possibly losing a lot of money and/or wasting a lot of time in the process.

Although some of these big and sneaky mistakes seem aimed more at service type companies, they really do fit the bill for almost any type of industry. I’ve done my best with the listings below to give examples to prove it.

Underestimating Project/Service Time- This is a big one and it pertains to service companies as well as companies that sell a product. This is a service company’s bread and butter. If you don’t estimate your time to perform each and every service in your repertoire, you will get burned and there is little you can do about it but bite the bullet and learn from it. The best way to estimate time is to do it once yourself or watch your best employee do the task and then throw in a little fudge factor on top of it. For product companies, time becomes an issue with logistics so be aware!

Not Knowing YOUR Company Numbers/Incorrectly Setting Prices- Notice I emphasized the word “your”. It’s a common mistake to use a competitor’s as your pricing gauge without actually knowing why they use those numbers. Think about the nightmare you will get yourself into if you take a competitor’s price, cut it by 10% and then start selling. What if the competition has a bad pricing structure and is barely making money or even losing money?!?! What if your costs are more than theirs?!?! You can use competitor as a starting point but you can’t base your whole strategy on it.

Different industries have their own variables as far as costs go and you need to be aware of them for your project or product pricing. What you pay for a product you are going to sell is not the only cost to have in your head when you are pricing products. How much your labor and materials cost for a service is only a piece of an hourly rate. Employees cost more than just salary and not every employee is part of your labor cost. Every company has insurance to pay for. There are tons of overhead expenditures that need to be part of your price. Oh, by the way, the big one that many people forget about in their price is the quality factor. What you include as “standard services” or “standard product features” as well as job site etiquette or in store service or warranties all need to go into your pricing. I’ll get to more on why in the next segment.

Not Charging for All of Your Time & Costs- This seems like a stupid statement to some but I bet most business owners will admit that they have given away a little too much of the farm at times. Hey, there is nothing wrong with giving a little extra here and there to show you care. But either way, that’s not what I’m talking about here. What concerns me are those that put a lot of quality into their work or products or stores and do not cover the cost for it. As an example, say you run a service company and your competitors don’t do a certain standard service that you do. You can’t just undercut their price to steal a job; you need to have that cost covered in your rate and advertise the fact that it comes with the price upfront. Stores undermine themselves, for example, when they put more people on the floor for customer service but don’t charge for it. These things cost you money and when your competitors don’t do them it costs them less money. Put out better service and then under price them, and your competition just has to wait a little bit for you to fall on your face so they can swoop back in.

As a business owner you need to believe that you are providing your clients worthwhile wares that deserve to be paid for. If you get the chance to explain why your prices are higher, then take that opportunity and do it. If they don’t like the fact that you include things that others charge extra for later or that you treat them better, then they are most likely completely price shoppers. You don’t want them as regular customers anyway. Trust me.

Not Getting Paid Fast Enough- That’s right, the old cash flow issue. As long as you are actually making enough money to pay the bills, this problem can be solved, prevented or at least made to be not as bad as it could be. Here’s the deal:

First off all, bill customers very promptly. It is very common for a small business to not have the procedures or systems in place to get invoices generated and out the door in a timely fashion (see the next segment for more). Again, this would seem unlikely since that’s the reason why we are doing the work- to get paid. But it is very easy for the people responsible for getting this info to the billing people to be too busy to get it there or not have enough organization to give it to them the right way.

The second part to slowing down or stopping a regular cash flow crunch is to make the quickest payment deals possible with customers and the slowest possible with vendors and employees. If there is any way not to pay employees any more than twice a month, you better do it. Contractors always have an issue with this. If you must pay weekly, then tell them before they are hired that they will be getting the first week held back, essentially buying you a week. It will help, I promise.

Part three involves credit. If your company can get a credit card, then get it. This allows for certain important things to be bought (that you can afford) that might come up during a cash flow crunch. Better yet, especially if you have no choice but to deal with 45+ day customer payments, do your best to get a company line of credit. This is a must if you plan on selling to the government or doing commercial service work. These clients often have 60 to 90 day wait periods.

Failure to Have Solid Systems and Procedures in Place- Too many procedures (known as “red tape”) is the reason why many people start their own business in the first place. Unfortunately, having no procedures and systems in place at all is not an alternative. Depending on the type of industry, business owners must come to a happy medium or chaos and the unknown will ensue. Some basic examples where procedures or systems are needed include billing, collections, payroll, hr (interviewing, hiring, vacations, benefits, job responsibilities, etc.), manufacturing, operating equipment, maintaining equipment, inventory, sales calls/visits and logistics to name a few.

Even a one person show needs to have some admin procedures in place. This will make it easier to hire temps and subcontractors and control what they are doing for you. Without at least a watered down version of a system or procedure to do everyday work, you will be to blame for causing many major headaches as your company grows. I can’t emphasize how important this is for when you bring on new employees. I’m sure you heard this before, but I am also a big proponent of having an employee handbook even for one employee. It’s amazing the trouble people can cause business owners just because they allow you to pay them.

Spending Advertising Money Just to Say You Advertise- I would almost rather see my clients not advertise then to spend without regard to tracking the results. There is no point in a marketing campaign if you do not put things in place that allow you to measure how well the plan is working. The other wasteful part of marketing that many people make the mistake of doing, is not tracking their previously successful campaigns. Why some people think that just because a $400 dollar a month ad worked once very well for one busy season, that it will automatically work every year after that is beyond me.

Spreading Yourself Too Thin- This is a classic mistake made by every entrepreneur. The key is to figure out when you are at that “wearing too many hats” point and start getting some help. The solution here is to know your strengths and to be able see when you are not performing the duties that demand these skills. If you are the best sales person on the company, you can’t get caught up in day-to-day operations. If you do, sales will slip and eventually you won’t have any operations to worry about. Think about this to help you figure out if you are spread too thin: Did you really go into business for yourself to work 80+ hours a week?

Not Getting Help Soon Enough- Set goals to know when to hire people to take over where you are light on knowledge. Not getting help or waiting too long can kill a company. Most people who start a business do it because they are good at the technical end or the sales end. If you know the best way to make a widget, then your strength is in production and that is where your time should be spent. Hire an outside company or consultant to take care of the sales and marketing and then hire inside when you can afford someone full time. Don’t be something to your company that you are not. It will only hold you back.

The three big issues people like to tackle themselves but usually are least knowledgeable about are legal issues, accounting/bookkeeping issues and daily operations issues. The odds are that these three things are your weakest link so if you don’t have a partner that has the background for these subjects, then be prepared to get help as soon as possible. It’s preferable that you do this before you start a business.

Although looking for these problems at any time is a good idea, the end of a year or season is an excellent business interval to make sure you are not making these errors. Take the time, or make the time, to fix these problems. If you don’t know how to reverse the problems, then get some help. If you really don’t have enough time to either figure out if you have these issues or know they are there and can’t break away long enough to do it right, then get some help.

4 Classic Cold Calling Mistakes

4 Classic Cold Calling Mistakes

Have you noticed that the old "tried and true" cold calling techniques which were once successful have completely lost their effectiveness over the years? They just don’t work anymore.

But many salespeople are still use them because that’s all they know. They’re working from that old, ineffective cold calling mindset. And they’re making the same mistakes over and over again.

I’d like to talk about 4 classic cold calling mistakes from the old traditional approach that will put you on the wrong path if you’re not careful.

1. Deliver a strong, enthusiastic sales pitch

People almost always feel "pushed" by sales enthusiasm, especially when it’s coming from someone they don’t know.

You see, a strong sales pitch includes the unspoken assumption that your product or service is a great fit for the other person. But think about it. You’ve never spoken with them before, much less had a full conversation. You can’t possibly know much about them at this point.

So to them, you’re just another salesperson who wants them to buy something. And so the walls go up.

It’s much better to modestly assume you know very little about your prospect. Invite them to share some of their concerns and difficulties with you. And allow them to guide the conversation, rather than your pre-ordained strategy or pitch.

2. Your goal is to always make the sale

When your target in cold calling is to always make the sale, prospects are aware of your agenda. And almost immediately, they’re on the defensive. After all, you’re primarily focused on yourself and the sale – not on them.

In the old traditional mindset, you forge ahead with the hope of getting a sale. You’re coaxing, persuading, and pushing things forward.

But most cold calls break down the moment the other person feels this sales pressure.

Why? Because they don’t know you, and they don’t trust you.

So the sales momentum you’re trying to create actually triggers a backlash of suspicion and resistance. They’re trying to protect themselves from a potential "intruder" with what appears to them as a self-serving agenda.

Instead, you can approach cold calling with a different goal. Your focus can be on discovering whether you’re able to solve a problem for the other person.

When you become a problem-solver, this feels vastly different to the person you’re talking to. You’re not triggering rejection. You’re calling with 100 percent of your thoughts and energy focused on their needs, rather than on making a sale.

3. Focus on the end of the conversation – that’s when sales are lost

If you believe that you lose sales because you’ve made a mistake at the end of the process, you’re looking in the wrong direction. Most mistakes are made at the beginning of a cold calling conversation.

You see, it’s at the beginning that you convey whether you’re honest and trustworthy. If you’ve started out your cold call with a high-pressured sales pitch, then you’ve probably lost the other person in just a few seconds.

When you follow a sales script, strategy, or presentation, then you’re not allowing a natural, trusting conversation to evolve. So the "problem" has been put into motion by your very first words. So the place to put all your focus is at the beginning of the cold call, not at the end.

4. Overcome and counter all objections

Most traditional sales programs spend a lot of time focusing on overcoming objections. But these tactics only put more sales pressure on your prospect, which triggers resistance. And you also fail to explore or understand the truth behind what’s being said.

When you hear, "We don't have the budget," or, "Call me in a few months," you can uncover the truth by replying, "That's not a problem."

And then using gentle, dignified language, you can invite them to reveal the truth about their situation.

So move away from the old sales mindset and try this new way of approaching your cold calling. You’ll find yourself being more natural, and others will respond to you in a much more positive way.

5 Proven Strategies for Internet and Network Marketing Success

5 Proven Strategies for Internet and Network Marketing Success

There are many opportunities in network marketing to help you reach your life goals. You can work from home and enjoy a steady cash stream while setting your own hours and doing what you love most to earn an income. But if you're like the majority of people who join a team of online network marketers, you probably aren't sure how or where to get started with Internet and network marketing. Here are five proven strategies to get you started.

1. Start Your Own Network Marketing Website

With your own network marketing website, you can build a profitable business model for your team. Your website can be used to provide information to newcomers as well as update your team members on a regular basis. A website can be used to enhance off-line network marketing as well. For instance, you can print your Web address on your business cards, letterhead, envelopes, postcards, and in printed ads. Those interested in your proposal can visit your website for more information. Your website can contain almost unlimited information that will help convert prospects into team members.

2. Start Your Own E-zine

An e-zine is an electronic newsletter sent by email to a database of subscribers. An e-zine builds trust and establishes you as an expert. At your website, you can set up a subscription form for your e-zine. Those who sign up are obviously interested in your offer, so you can send e-mailings to them weekly and use the e-zine to get them back to your website. This is a great way to turn visitors to your site into network marketing partners.

3. Answer Questions in Forums and Discussion Groups

With forums, you cannot merely advertise your business, but you can answer questions and include a link to your email or website. Find work-from-home forums online that are related to your network marketing business or that might cater to your target audience. Observe and read the questions and answers for a while before posting to get a feel for the people and atmosphere. Then, answer those questions pertaining to your type of business in a truly helpful manner. The person asking the question might visit your website as well as any others who might read the post. It's a great way to meet new people and market your business.

4. Create Network Marketing Excitement

Another thing you can do online is to create network marketing excitement for your team members. At your own website, you can hold contests for your team members, random giveaways, provide hosted space for your team members to create their own profiles or mini-websites, do feature bios on your team members, and more. These will motivate your network marketing team to work harder and increase their cash stream (and yours) while having fun.

5. Content Writing about the Internet and Network Marketing

One of the most powerful ways to promote your website is to add valuable content articles to your website on a regular basis. Articles should be targeted about network marketing and working from home. They should provide your target readers with helpful information. At the conclusion of each article, you can include a signature/bio that will lead the reader to your sales pages.

Add articles to your website on a regular basis and submit articles to free article directories for maximum results. Articles will help attract search engine traffic to your website without any cost to you.

There are also many other methods of Internet promotion for network marketing such as e-zine advertising, banner advertising, contextual or paid search engine ads, free traffic exchanges, and affiliate programs. Whether you are part of a global resorts travel business, a profitable reverse funnel system, or another successful business model, you'll be amazed at the results when you combine all of the promotion methods above for the Internet and network marketing!

5 Considerations for the Home Worker to Make Money Online

5 Considerations for the Home Worker to Make Money Online

With a computer and high speed Internet access, the potential for the home worker to make money online is virtually limitless. When it comes to finding the right home based business opportunity, there are several things to consider. Here are the top five:

1. Are You a Salesperson?

Some people have a natural talent for sales, while others couldn't sell water to someone stranded in the desert. For the home based worker who has the ability to sell, network marketing may be the perfect home based business. Network marketing typically involves selling products in one or more niche markets, as well as selling the opportunity. Also known as multi-level marketing, network marketing pays commissions based on a percentage of your sales and on the sales of your "downline," or those you have recruited to sell the product. Each opportunity has its own commission plan, and many pay bonuses on top of commissions.

2. Are You Experienced?

If you have years of experience being a home worker, you probably have a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, if you're new to being an entrepreneur, you probably need training. Look for a company that offers the tools and training you need in order to succeed. The type of training you receive can encompass everything from weekly conference calls or webinars (Internet-based seminars), to one-on-one coaching from your upline, to training manuals and other written materials.

3. Are You Internet Savvy?

If you know your way around the Internet and know something about setting up and hosting websites, the possibilities are endless. You can create your own websites, for example, and start generating affiliate revenue and Google AdSense revenue.

If you haven't the foggiest idea of how to set up and host a website, be sure to find a company you can partner with who will do the heavy lifting. There are many Internet-based opportunities for the home based worker from companies that provide what are called "replicated sites." They'll design and host your websites for you, so that all you have to do is work on marketing in order to drive traffic to your site.

4. How Much do You Want to Work?

Before selecting a home based business opportunity, honestly assess how much you want to work. If a stay-at-home mom needs extra money, she may only want to work two or three hours a day. If someone wants to quit the rat race and work full time as a home worker, money for moms simply won't be enough income. Sometimes a single home based business will provide all of the revenue a person needs, while other times you have to embark on several opportunities to diversify and multiply your revenue streams.

5. How Hands-On do You Want to Be?

Some home based business opportunities require that you be actively involved on a day-to-day basis, either in order fulfillment and customer service or in marketing your websites or businesses. Other opportunities are more passive in nature, in that you have to spend a lot of time initially, but they become self-perpetuating. If you're a home worker who enjoys being an ongoing active participant, choose an opportunity that requires you to interact with other people. If you prefer to be hands-off, select a business that will basically run itself.

7 Critical Business Financing Mistakes

Avoiding the top 7 business financing mistakes is a key component in business survival.

If you start committing these business financing mistakes too often, you will greatly reduce any chance you have for longer term business success.

The key is to understand the causes and significance of each so that you're in a position to make better decisions.

>>> Business Financing Mistakes (1) - No Monthly Bookkeeping.

Regardless of the size of your business, inaccurate record keeping creates all sorts of issues relating to cash flow, planning, and business decision making.

While everything has a cost, bookkeeping services are dirt cheap compared to most other costs a business will incur.

And once a bookkeeping process gets established, the cost usually goes down or becomes more cost effective as there is no wasted effort in recording all the business activity.

By itself, this one mistake tends to lead to all the others in one way or another and should be avoided at all costs.

>>> Business Financing Mistakes (2) - No Projected Cash Flow.

No meaningful bookkeeping creates a lack of knowing where you've been. No projected cash flow creates a lack of knowing where you're going.

Without keeping score, businesses tend to stray further and further away from their targets and wait for a crisis that forces a change in monthly spending habits.

Even if you have a projected cash flow, it needs to be realistic.

A certain level of conservatism needs to be present, or it will become meaningless in very short order.

>>> Business Financing Mistakes (3) - Inadequate Working Capital

No amount of record keeping will help you if you don't have enough working capital to properly operate the business.

That's why its important to accurately create a cash flow forecast before you even start up, acquire, or expand a business.

Too often the working capital component is completely ignored with the primary focus going towards capital asset investments.

When this happens, the cash flow crunch is usually felt quickly as there is insufficient funds to properly manage through the normal sales cycle.

>>> Business Financing Mistakes (4) - Poor Payment Management.

Unless you have meaningful working capital, forecasting, and bookkeeping in place, you're likely going to have cash management problems.

The result is the need to stretch out and defer payments that have come due.

This can be the very edge of the slippery slope.

I mean, if you don't find out what's causing the cash flow problem in the first place, stretching out payments may only help you dig a deeper hole.

The primary targets are government remittances, trade payables, and credit card payments.


>>> Business Financing Mistakes (5) - Poor Credit Management


There can be severe credit consequences to deferring payments for both short periods of time and indefinite periods of time.

First, late payments of credit cards are probably the most common ways in which both businesses and individuals destroy their credit.

Second, NSF checks are also recorded through business credit reports and are another form of black mark.

Third, if you put off a payment too long, a creditor could file a judgment against you further damaging your credit.

Fourth, when you apply for future credit, being behind with government payments can result in an automatic turndown by many lenders.

It gets worse.

Each time you apply for credit, credit inquiries are listed on your credit report.

This can cause two additional problems.

First, multiple inquiries can reduce you overall credit rating or score.

Second, lenders tend to be less willing to grant credit to a business that has a multitude of inquiries on its credit report.

If you do get into situations where you're short cash for a finite period of time, make sure you proactively discuss the situation with your creditors and negotiate repayment arrangements that you can both live with and that won't jeopardize your credit.

>>> Business Financing Mistakes (6) - No Recorded Profitability

For startups, the most important thing you can do from a financing point of view is get profitable as fast as possible.

Most lenders must see at least one year of profitable financial statements before they will consider lending funds based on the strength of the business.

Before short term profitability is demonstrated, business financing is based primary on personal credit and net worth.

For existing businesses, historical results need to show profitability to acquire additional capital.

The measurement of this ability to repay is based on the net income recorded for the business by a third party accredited accountant.

In many cases, businesses work with their accountants to reduce business tax as much as possible but also destroy or restrict their ability to borrow in the process when the business net income is insufficient to service any additional debt.

>>> Business Financing Mistakes (7) - No Financing Strategy

A proper financing strategy creates 1) the financing required to support the present and future cash flows of the business, 2) the debt repayment schedule that the cash flow can service, and 3) the contingency funding necessary to address unplanned or unique business needs.

This sounds good in principle, but does not tend to be well practiced.

Why?

Because financing is largely an unplanned and after the fact event.

It seems once everything else is figured out, then a business will try to locate financing.

There are many reasons for this including: entrepreneurs are more marketing oriented, people believe financing is easy to secure when they need it, the short term impact of putting off financial issues are not as immediate as other things, and so on.

Regardless of the reason, the lack of a workable financing strategy is indeed a mistake.

However, a meaningful financing strategy is not likely to exist if one or more of the other 6 mistakes are present.

This reinforces the point that all mistakes listed are intertwined and when more than one is made, the effect of the negative result can become compounded.

Better business financial planing

3 Women Starting A Small Business

Starting a small business ranks close to having a child in the “major life event” category. This can be one of the most stressful times, but if done right, it can also be one of the most rewarding things in your life. Some might think that to start your own business, you have to know everything. One thing that you can have something help you with is marketing and advertising.

This is a very complicated part of any business and if the average business owner thinks they know everything they need to know about this, they are kidding themselves. When someone has a heart problem, they go to a specialist. This is how you should treat your small business marketing. Using an Ad Agency could be one of the smartest things you could do to help ensure your business does not fail.

It is well known that 80% of all businesses fail within the first 5 years. How many of those millions of heartbroken owners could have been part of the 20% only if they would have not been a “know it all” and asked the experts for help in areas they didn’t have an idea in. Throughout the years of running an Ad Agency, we have never had a client spend more money with us than if they would have done it alone. In a majority of cases, they actually have saved thousands of dollars with us. This is for a few reasons. One is the enormous buying power good Ad Agencies have.

We can buy in bulk and pass the savings to all of our clients. Ad Agencies also have more negotiating power. Going into a buying process with 5-10 clients at one time can give us a huge advantage in negotiating power. One thing that new and existing business owners fail to do is create an actual advertising marketing plan for the year. This can be done at any time during the year and not just January first.

Create a plan for the next 12 months based on your target audience and your budget. We never come to a client and tell them how much they should spend for the year. We take your budget and create a plan for you, at a price you can afford. We handle over $38 million in advertising dollars every year, but we service the $5000 startup or the $100k budgets. Any and all are welcome to participate in our programs.

3 Million Items and Counting, Bidville Becomes Big Business

Since their introduction, online auction sites have been making e-history as some of the most popular destinations on the Internet. From designer-label clothing to grandmas jewelry to cars and even houses, anything and everything imaginable can be auctioned off online.

Since their introduction, online auction sites have been making e-history as some of the most popular destinations on the Internet. From designer-label clothing to grandmas jewelry to cars and even houses, anything and everything imaginable can be auctioned off online.

People who place items for sale on auction sites are attracted to the prospect of building a business from home with no morning traffic jams and little required capital to start. And bidders are drawn to the unique shopping opportunities and the potential to purchase hard-to-find items from all over the world.

Increasingly, buyers and sellers are discovering the unique benefits of using emerging sites rather than the giants of the industry, such as eBay. Bidville.com is one such site that has been quietly gaining momentum in the wake of eBays ongoing fee increases.

Bidville started in 1999 primarily as a sports card auction site, but began expanding its merchandise base in late 2003 to take advantage of burgeoning market opportunities. Throughout 2004, its membership base increased to nearly 1 million members and the number of items listed daily reached 3 million. In addition, the site now has more than 600 storefronts that sell anything from collectibles to electronics at a fixed price.

Bidville markets itself as the alternative auction site because it does not charge listing fees. Rather, sellers pay what is called final success fees after their items sell. These fees, at no more than 5 percent of the selling price, are lower than what other sites charge.

So what is the key to Bidvilles success? The company is striving to expand its growing community of loyal members and makes it a policy to give them personalized attention. While most auction sites answer questions with an automated reply, Bidville has live customer service representatives who respond to all queries within 24 hours.

Increasing Your Online Marketing

Online Marketing has become essential in todays world as the world is improving and the companies are finding new methods to do their business. Many companies are finding new ways to do their business. Everyone thinks of improving their sales with an online marketing business. So below are some tips to help you implement the new method to increase your sales business.

Many of them concentrate on their business during online marketing. They do not think that customer may need something other than their product. If you are really interested in increasing your sales, try selling the backend products. Find out whether customers require any other products and sell them from your Website. Your sales will be increased from 30 to 50 percent by this method.

One fine example is I have buyed the book from Amazon many days ago, I got the mail from them about the new book that they have placed on the website. I just visited the website to give it a trial but when I saw the book, it was amazing and buyed that from amazon. As many customers might be interested in other products. One more example I can say is home shopping through online marketing, I have buyed one product from them many days ago still also they will be sending the news about their new products and discounts. If I found the product at best price, I always buy from them, checking frequently to the websites.

If you sell a wide range of products to the existing customers, then I am sure that your business will be growing as the existing customers hold long relationships and we have already gained their attention. You have already built your trust in them, already closed the first sale and they know that you will be sending the product on time. New customers will be always their but maintaining a relationship with the existing customers is always important as they improve the sales. If your product is not the replaceable one then this is the best thing to add backend products which attract the customer.

Hope this might had given you a lot of information on increasing the sales. Definitely I will say that, if you add more products to your online marketing website then your sales will increase faster. This is one of the very best methods to increase the sales of your company.

7 Key Tactics for The Small Business Owner

For most folks, owning your own business is a dream come true. The freedom of being your own boss and succeeding to the best of your ability are facts of life for the small business owner. Sure, there's more stress than what you probably imagined when you were creating your grand plans, but with a little strategy and planning you can overcome any tough spot you get in. There are 7 tactics developed by successful marketers that are sure to make your business as successful as theirs.

1. Create A One of a Kind Selling Point

If you want to stand out from the crowd, create a unique selling proposition that stresses the benefits the customers will receive from doing business with you. Will they get faster service? Go ahead and dramatize it, but keep the customer at the focus..."Get free overnight delivery!" Hey, it tells the customer...you get quick service and a discount on shipping. Two definite benefits in one statement.

Why should someone buy from you and not your competitor? I hate to deal a blow to your ego, but it really has nothing to do with you , your product, or your service. Yeah, its a little self-centered, but customers are attracted by offers that point out the things that benefit THEM.

Don't go out on a limb to create new products and services to get attention. Just, add a special benefit to the ones you already have... maybe it's quicker service. The most effective things to emphasize are benefits that your competition cannot or is not willing to give.

2. Use Testimonials

Hey, we all know that business owners think their product or services are the best thing going, but it's what the current customers think about it that really matters to your prospective customers. They're the ones who see things from their point of view... what they have to say about the business has an impact.

Testimonials play an important part in advertising - especially for small businesses. Yeah, big businesses with well-known names don't have to worry about it, but small companies can use testimonials as marketing tools to build credibility.

Think about it...how else can we gain credibility than by creating a group of satisfied customers and shouting what they have to say? Let's look at some ways we can make testimonials an effective part of our marketing campaigns.

3. Upsell

Upselling is one of the most successful marketing trends today. Everywhere you go, someone is trying to get you to buy more. From McDonalds with its supersize options to clothing stores that try to sell you shoes to match your outfit, everyone's jumping on the band wagon. Why? It works!

Your customers already know that you have great products and provide satisfactory service. They trust you to come through for them. Think about it... it's much easier to make sales to someone you already have a relationship with.

Use every opportunity to increase your sales volume within the customer audience you already have. Do you have a product that goes with the one they are purchasing? Offer it to them at the register. It's a proven and effective method for increasing sales. You may be shocked at the additional sales you can generate from those who are already buying from you.

4. Make Your Price Seem Smaller

Divide and conquer... The old war tactic works in marketing too! When the price seems too steep, break it down into "buyable" size bites. An $120 item is only 12 low monthly payments of $10. A $365 purchase would only cost $1 per day. Now that sounds affordable!

5. Paint The Benefits Pretty

Customers buy because they want to enjoy the benefits of the purchase. A lady might buy a dress because she wants to feel sexy, or a man will buy a book because he finds pleasure in reading. Emotions are the key element that drives purchases.

Use word pictures to stir up the emotions that will instigate the sale. Let them "feel" the benefits, and they'll be more apt to head for the cash register. Put them where you want them.

6. Create Attention Getting Headlines

Are you ready to capture your reader's attention with great copy? The headline is the place to start. How often do you scan the newspaper's headlines before you decide whether or not to read the article? Yeah, that's where we lose or gain the reader's interest, so it's a pretty important part of the advertisement.

A good headline should telegraph its message in twelve words or less. Double check those headlines. Do they make a promise of a positive benefit, or ask a provocative question? Don't settle for less than attention grabbing statements.

7. Provide An Offer They Can't Resist

Is your deal too good to pass up? If not, you need to improve it. Hey, I'm not talking about cutting prices even more...you've still got to make a profit. You can make the deal sweeter just by increasing the readers knowledge of the value of the product, or adding bonuses that are perceived as valuable, but cost you little.

Motivate buyers with expirations. Yeah, an open ended offer encourages procrastination...which leads ...yep, nowhere. When the customer knows he has until Saturday to purchase an item he'll pay more for on Sunday, he'll make it a priority to head for your shop.

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash"- Surprising Lessons For Work At Home Moms

I've unearthed some surprising bits of wisdom for new Moms by listening to Johnny Cash lately. I thought I would share some of these tidbits from the Rockabilly legend.

1) Understand Your Man ...err, target market!

That's right. Do you understand your target market? Are you aware of her needs, desires and driving ambitions? Does your website speak to your target audience? If not, perhaps you should make some changes or your website visitor or customer will be "as gone as a wild goose in winter" too!

2) A Boy Named Sue

Life isn’t easy for a boy named Sue...and life isn’t easy for a Moms either. In your business you will have those confidence killers, dream stealers, fun suckers...whatever you want to call them. You will have people who try to tell you that you can't achieve your goals, that what you try won't work. Don't let them get you down!

Sue's father told him, "This world is rough, and if you're going to make it, you've got to be tough."

How can you get tough in your business?

3) Man In Black- or Branding 101

J.R. Cash didn't don the all black suit because he didn't have anything else to wear. It was his trademark. He wore all black for a reason.

What about you? Are you working on your brand? In a world full of Elvis Presley’s and Jerry Lee Lewis’s, how will you stand apart? And remember, your target market doesn't have to be just like you- Johnny Cash wrote Folsom Prison Blues and connected with inmates when he had never yet step foot in jail!

4) The Legend of John Henry's Hammer

This song has two bits of wisdom:

a) Learn your business and you will succeed

John Henry's Daddy told him to: "Learn to a turn a jack, learn to lay a track, learn to pick and shovel too." Are you learning all you can about Internet Marketing so that you can succeed in your business? Do you reinvest in eBooks, coaching and mentoring, and software like John Henry's hammer?

b) Technology has its place but it can't take the place of humans.

When the steam engine threatened to take the place of men, Johnny proved that in the end, humans are more valuable. Learn to use technology (like auto responders) but remember that your website visitor is a human and inject some of yourself into your marketing efforts.

5) One Piece at a Time

This ballad is about a man who decides to build a Cadillac. He steals one piece at a time from the assembly line "and it didn't cost him a dime". But in the end, it didn't work out exactly like he planned!

Does your website look like a pieced together jalopy? Are you unwilling to spend any money on your own domain and hosting, content with a free site cluttered up with ads?

6) In The Jailhouse Now

Please don't throw away your hard work by doing one of the following things:

Spamming

Copying other people's articles or content

Stealing graphics

Clicking on your Adsense ads

Not keeping records and neglecting to pay taxes

It just isn't worth it, and you may find yourself in the jailhouse. Much better to Walk the Line so you can sleep at night.

7) Ring of Fire

Maybe you've made a bad choice... entered into a shotgun romance with a business that's not right for you. Don't be afraid to realize this, chuck everything and start over! Don't beat your head against the wall if, after working hard on a project, you decide it's just not profitable. Better to find your match and pour your energies into that.

In this song, June Carter Cash chronicles her growing attraction to John. Though they were both involved with other people, they were obviously soul mates and ended up making music and growing old together for the next 40 years.

May you make beautiful music with your business!

$3 Million in 6 Months With Adsense!

The Power Play Interviews: Markus Frind- $3 Million in 6 Months

This is the first in a series of Internet Success Stories that you will begin to see on the Power Play Blog. Hope you enjoy them!

Markus Frind, the creator of Plentyoffish.com is a success story worth noting, as he has managed to take a niche formerly ruled by giant corporations and give it his own brand of marketing savvy. A case of David vs. Goliath, where the little guy comes out on top in the end. Markus is the top "individual" adsense publisher in terms of page views. Lets find out what some of his secrets are as he shares some advice with our readers. Feel free to comment!

Markus, what is your experience in computer programming and how did it prepare you for becoming a webmaster?

The average page views a day is around 14 million for the last week. I'm getting another 80 million pageviews a day from users polling the site to see if they have new messages. Really intensive bandwidth wise!

When I go to your website, I notice that the ads are targeted to my region, yet I have not even registered- can you explain to our readers how you accomplish this feat?

I'm just using ip2location.com- Basically I take your IP, look it up in the database and it tells me what your city is. I then bring up a list of users in your city, nothing magical about it at all.

Are most of your visitors coming primarily from search engines (SERPS), or are you finding that they come from other avenues? Do you actively advertise in the media?

Search engines account for something like 2% of my traffic. The vast majority of my traffic, like any other site with over 5 million pageviews a day comes from word of mouth, and repeat visitors.

The services on your site seem to be offered at no cost to the registrants. Is there some advantage you have over your competitors that allows you to do this?

I've developed new algorithms that allow me to create a mega site for next to no cost. Several years ago I created algorithm that was thousands of times faster then the algorithm used in the 1990's to find a string of 22 prime numbers. At the time a professor used several super computers and hundreds of regular computers over the course of several years to find a record. I did the same thing on 1 computer in 2 weeks.

Fascinating! Are there any other sites you currently maintain, or is plentyoffish.com the only one?

Its the only site at the moment. I've got a few other sites I registered for friends so they could learn to do marketing/affiliate stuff. At this point i think 1 site is enough.

Any tips for those looking to create a profitable endeavor on the internet?

IF someone else thinks what you are doing is a cool idea I'd say it isn't... Find something no one else thinks is important and build up a site with big traffic in that area. Also keep in mind, sites that have low monetization today but have traffic may be the gold mines of tomorrow. In the internet world anything and everything will be monetized at some point and traffic is king.

Traffic is King- very wise advice, Markus. One last question- How do you find the time to maintain such a large commodity on the internet? Surely you must have some other interests in life besides programming and website monitoring?

It only takes a hour a day on average, but its very tiring work. I spend the other couple of hours reading and seeing what is going on.

Hope you enjoy the article

This is actually a downside of free classifieds ads websites. They first attract you with a genuine offer by giving you an option to post your classified ads for free. Then they will also send you emails, telling you about further great opportunities to post your ad for a fee.
Many people who actually use free classifieds ads websites signup for a new @yahoo.com or @gmail.com account for the sole purpose of managing free classifieds ads accounts.
You can get maximum mileage out of your free online classifieds ads if you apply the basics of classifieds ads writing. Think what your prospective customers will be looking for while they read classifieds ads put by you. Draft your free classifieds ads in such a way to appeal to that requirement.
In simpler words, imagine yourself as a buyer of that specific product and imagine you are looking for that product. What product description will attract you the most? Which product description will be believable to you? And what ads will be able to sell you the product. Make sure to apply the answers of those questions in your ad.
Also use different variations of same ad and see which ones perform well and which ones are bad. Take a note of the ads that perform well. Never stop testing new ads. You are always improving your ad quality and increasing the number of sales you make.

Weigth Loss #2 Enzyme Deficsiencies

What is the real secret to better health?

Gary talked about the enzymes and how important they are to our good health. Enzymes help to increase resistant to disease, improve hormones, sex, speed up bone, and wound healing, increase mental clarity, help digest toxins, burn fat, attach iron to the red blood cells, enzyme may help dissolve blood clots, and anti-aging. Enzymes also help build the body to prevent the onslaught of a cold coming on.

Gary stressed to us that it is very, very, very important to give our precious children enzymes too so they can have a great immune system to avoid diseases they bring home from school.

Most people do not know that the human body is designed to only break down or digest approximately 50% of the food we eat. Live enzymes are supplied in raw food, but as soon as we cook or process our food, we kill all the enzymes. This is the most overlooked situation in health today. Until this problem is corrected, the body will continue to struggle and suffer. This is a very serious problem the body faces on a daily basis, yet very few people are paying attention to how they weaken their body's protectors and repairers every single day.

Your good health can be determined by one of these two choices:

1. Do not take digestive enzymes with your food and you will use your bodys energy and enzyme reserves to help digest the cooked and processed food. You will also distract the bodys function in protecting and repairing the human
body.

2. Take digestive enzymes with your food and on an empty stomach and you will use the energy within the enzymes to digest the food and clean up the food properly. Enzymes will also clean the blood making it possible for the human body to give all of its attention to protecting and repairing. It will no longer have to get involved in cleaning up the blood of undigested particles. If you want a fully functional, effective and strong immune system, improving digestion and cleaning the blood is the way to give the human body back its full power to protect and repair. It will not happen without improving digestion and having clean blood.

Great health is the most valuable possession a person can own. It is impossible for the human body to function properly if we are not digesting our food properly! So as you can see, digestive enzymes are necessary to have a very strong immune system.

Enzyme Deficiencies: It causes the pancreas to be overworked especially those that eat processed foods and the pancreas becomes enlarged. You are then lacking in lipase to break down fats and could end up getting fatty tumors.

Enzymes to take during weight loss cleanse:

Lipozyme: A fat-digesting enzyme complex that promotes fat digestion and enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E. Taking Lipozyme helps to break down fats. Over fed people develop more fat cells than under fed people. Obese people have 70% less lipase in their blood. Lipozyme converts fat to glycogen so it can be utilized in the body. Fat impairs the function of the blood cells in the immune system by slowing down the circulation.

I take 2 before breakfast, 2 before lunch, 2 before dinner.

Detoxzyme: A vegetable enzyme complex designed to promote detoxification of the body. Combines essential oils with enzymes designed to digest starches, sugars, proteins, and fats. This formula is structured with trace minerals that help the body detoxify itself, reducing cholesterol and triglycerides. It helps in opening the gallbladder duct and cleansing the liver, preventing Candida and yeast overgrowth, and promoting general detoxification.

I take 5 in the morning, 3 at lunch, 3 at bedtime.

Food for thought: Babies who are fed formula are enzyme deficient and develop toxic conditions, such as mucus, fevers, diarrhea, colic, allergies, mental disturbances, ADHD, and autism. That is why we have Children Mightyzymes. They are most important to our children now days.

As we are cleansing, we need to support the Kidneys. The kidneys are taking on a big burden as all this garbage is being dumped on them, so we need to support them with K & B and EndoFlex. EndoFlex also supports the thyroid. And by all means, drink a lot of water to help flush the dissolved fat cells out of the kidneys. A lot of kidney failure is due to dehydration and our body's mental and physical capacities are diminished immediately. Without any water your body systems will begin to fail within 3 - 4 days.

Your daily intake of water (8-8 oz. glasses) a day

Weight Recommended

100 - 150 7- 8 glasses

150 - 200 9 - 11 glasses

200 - 250 11 - 13 glasses

Weight Loss #1: Cleansing

First: we are learning how to help the body to raise its immune system in order to support different areas in the body so we can stay healthy. We will be learning how and when to use the products and when the body will best utilize them.

If you do not have a reason to try, you have no passion.

Fad diets and unnatural supplements come and go, but the lasting science and wisdom come back to common sense ideas.

1. Make fresh, whole fruits and vegetables, the foundation of your diet.

2. Get as many essential nutrients as possible in every calorie with nutrient-dense foods.

3. Eat a variety of foods, such as proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.

4. Avoid processed, fast, and junk foods; these are known as anti-nutrients.

In order to have good hormone balance, you need to cleanse first.

Why we should cleanse:

This will start pulling the fat cells off and when this does, the toxins are put back into the body and this is where you need to be on Detoxzyme and JuvaPower to help absorb the acid that is being released. If not, the toxins go back into the organs. You may drop 15 lbs., but you will gain it back because the protein acid gas goes back into the fat cells, into the blood, and back to the hypothalamus which suppresses and stores it. It is just a yo-yo game over and over if a person does not know what is wrong with their body and why they cannot get rid of the unwanted fat.

Toxins from the GI track cause many chronic diseases. Making the colon and lymphatic's laden with poisons. If you break out with a rash using the products or oils, it is because you are trying to cleanse toxins faster than your system can process them. So, take 3-4 Comfortone 2xs a day and JuvaPower at night, 2 rounded tbls. in water, carrot, or mango juice only. ICP is the highest in maltase and amylase enzymes to digest starches and carbs that you have had for the day. Take ICP in the morning to absorb the accumulated acid and to pull the poisons and mucus out of the cardiac portion of the stomach, which is the cause of phlegm in the throat. Beet juice and dandelion tea is great for the liver also. Also, you should squeeze a 1/2 lemon and drink in water to reset your pH in the morning.

Balance Complete: absorbs toxins and fats, is bulk forming, balances blood sugar, and lowers LDL cholesterol. and provides fiber.

Digest & Cleanse: will soothe the bowel, prevent gas, and stimulate liver, gall bladder, and stomach secretions, thus aiding digestion and absorption.

Power Meal: is a revolutionary meal replacement with a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and complete proteins. Power Meal makes a great meal replacement with 20 grams of protein per serving. Power Meal provides your body with the key ingredients it needs to build and repair tissue, make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals.

Gary had me take 1 scoop of Power Meal with 1 scoop of Pure Protein to correct the protein deficiency that I had. For added flavor you can add your favorite oil or fruit to really make a delicious shake.

ICP: Taking ICP absorbs the acid in the morning, cleanses the intestines, and protects the heart. ICP helps the body loosen and expel undigested and fermenting materials that can block nutrient absorption and poison our internal environment. Psyllium, oat bran, flax, and rice bran are specifically balanced in ICP to eliminate allergy symptoms that many people have when taking Psyllium alone. The essential oils enhance ICP's flavor and may help dispel gas and pain.

Juva Power: A whole food high antioxidant vegetable powder complex that is a rich source of acid-binding food and high in liver-protecting nutrients. The ingredients in JuvaPower are effective in stopping oxidation of cholesterol, reduces blood pressure, reduces cell viability to 10.9%, prevents cellular mutations, binds up fat and helps flush it out of the body, essential for bile acid formation and liver protection in cleansing the liver, and is a natural laxative and lubricant that relaxes the colon.

Mineral Essence: If you have a mineral imbalance, it affects the hormones and you cannot absorb Vitamin C. Also, it affects the heart, causes low energy, facial hair, and bloody nose; you also could have a protein deficiency. You need to have minerals to keep your energy up and keep your hormones working. Eye twitching is from not absorbing minerals--take Mineral Essence and True Source. Anyone that is depressed, or is bi-polar, needs to be on Mineral Essence. It is a balancing, organic, ionic mineral complex with more than 60 different minerals. Minerals are also necessary for proper immune and metabolism functions.

Thermaburn: A revolutionary appetite-suppressing, weight-control, herbal complex with thermogenic essential oils. It is the only herbal, fat-reducing supplement to contain liver cleansers and defatters to increase metabolism and prevent oxidative damage from excess fat-burning. Take 1-2 capsules two hours before meals or after.

A person needs to stay away from chemicals when cleansing. Use your Young Living products because they are chemical free. Such as the toothpaste, shampoo, creams, lotions, etc. Change your eating habits. No sugar, no white flour, no red meats, no processed foods, all fresh organic produce to eat and cook. No salt, can use sea salt, but very little.

To lose weight, you need to eat six meals a days so the body doesn't say it's starving and will not let you remove the unwanted fat. Thinking positive thoughts is important too. You notice that I said eliminate the unwanted weight.

NingXia Red: Chromium combating obesity. One of the best ways to combat obesity is to swap fat for muscle. Why? A well muscled body burns at least twice as many calories as a body saddled with plenty of blubber. This is because muscle tissue burns 13 kcal per kilo of body weight per day, while fatty tissue burns only 4.5 kcal per kilo of body weight per day.

The wolfberrys high chromium content can help preserve lean body mass especially during a diet or exercise--thereby helping boost metabolic rates to keep body fat at bay.

100 grams of dried Ningxia Wolfberry contains 79 mcg of chromium, almost 2/3 the recommended daily allowance.

AlkaLime: Is a specially designed alkaline mineral powder that contains an array of high-alkaline salts and other yeasts and fungus fighting elements, such as citric acid & E Os. Its precisely balanced, acid-neutralizing mineral formulation helps preserve the bodys proper pH balance--the cornerstone of health. By boosting blood alkalinity, yeast & fungus are deprived of the acidic terrain they require to flourish. The effectiveness of other essential oils is enhanced when the bodys blood and tissues are alkaline.

AlkaLime may help reduce the following signs of acid-based and fungus dominance:

· fatigue/low energy

· unexplained aches and pains

· overweight conditions

· low resistance to illness

· allergies

· headaches

· irritability/mood swings

· indigestion

· colitis/ulcers diarrhea/constipation

· urinary tract infection

· rectal/vaginal itch

Directions: Stir one rounded teaspoon into 6 to 8 oz. of distilled or purified water and drink immediately. To aid in alkalizing connective tissue, AlkaLime may be taken 1-3 times per day before meals or before eating. As an antacid, AlkaLime may be taken as needed. Otherwise, an ideal time to take AlkaLime would be prior to bedtime.

A person that is very acidic has difficulty sleeping due to muscle and joint pain. Lower the acidic condition and you will be able to sleep and the pain level will reduce. It is best to take before bedtime if this is a problem for you

How To Choose Right Keywords To Market Your Website

Anybody who knows something about how engines like Google work will tell you that you want to choose the proper key phrases with a view to improve your search engine ranking. Yet, if you are relatively new to the website creation scene, you will have very little data about what key phrases are, what they do and the way they improve search engine optimization (search engine optimization). Nonetheless, understanding what key phrases are and the way they work is critical to your websites success and the quantity of site visitors you will obtain at your website. Let's take a look at what key phrases are and the way to choose the correct keywords to improve your search engine marketing techniques. In doing so, you will immediately be capable of put such data to use and improve your page ranking in search engines.

Key phrases are used by engines like google to determine whether or not or not your internet pages will tackle the needs of Web users which are conducting a search. The extra key phrases which are discovered on your web pages, the extra seemingly your webpage will likely be listed as a response to a consumers query. Yet, a webmaster must bear in mind that not enough key phrases on a webpage may have little to no have an effect on on an internet web page is search engine rating, while an internet page with too many key phrases might also have little affect. Why? Quite frankly, an obvious try to sway a search engines itemizing really reduces the quality factor of an online web page and a search engine will fee it decrease than it would a web page that accommodates high quality information.

Due to this fact, selecting key phrases is part of the website advertising process: having the correct keywords seem on a webpage will lead to elevated site visitors to your site. There are a number of net resources that will show you how to decide what keywords are ceaselessly used, like key phrase generators and the like, however the issue with such instruments is they do not necessarily establish the right keywords that can ultimately draw site visitors to your site. Instead, it is essential to be choosy about what key phrases you use. First, you may go along with the most popular key phrases advised, however the most popular keywords do not all the time essentially work in drawing site visitors to your site, nor do they always enable you to enhance your search engine marketing and page ranking inside major search engines.

First, it would be best to attempt to use truly particular key phrases when producing key phrase enriched internet pages. Attempt to not be too huge in your descriptions-if a keyword generates 20,000 pages in a search engine, likelihood is your key phrase enriched page is not going to make an enormous distinction in you web traffic. But, in case you are using key phrases that few than 100 sites use it is possible you will discover that your search engine ranking is increased as a result of so few websites use the particular key phrases you have chosen. Obviously then, it serves to inform you that one keyword enriched webpage might not make a huge distinction in your total web site visitors, however a number of keyword enriched pages will. Just make sure you use uniquely defined, themed keywords inside your net pages and watch your rating enhance within the major search engines.

Another distinctive way of choosing keywords may be found in viewing similar web sites to your own. Discover out what different webmasters are using to draw traffic to their website. How do you do this? First, overview many web sites which can be just like yours. Watch for repeated themes inside websites-do you see a pattern? Take that pattern and use it to your advantage, utilizing a keyword generator determines which key phrases are most original that fit the pattern that other websites are using. Next, generate a couple of net pages that are keyword enriched along with your chosen keywords. Conversely, if you are accustomed to html, you may view a webmasters supply codes and see what Meta Tags they are utilizing. Meta Tags reveal the key phrases of a web page and may give you a great clue as to how the competition is approaching the keyword enrichment process, if at all.

Whatever you do, when within the process of trying to find key phrases, do not simply throw your best guess out there and go along with it. Though it is possible that you may get fortunate and really improve your web site traffic and search engine rating, it is unlikely. Most keywords which are the product of a webmasters guess are far too broad to make any type of difference in search engine rating or web traffic.

There are lots of little tricks one can use to make the very best of the keyword enrichment process. You can write articles that focus solely on the keywords you might have chosen or you will be able to rent freelance writers to do the work for you. You can make use of a wide range of free and subscription internet tools to improve the kind of keywords you choose. Either approach, after getting found the appropriate keywords you will instantly be aware a rise in your net traffic-an increase that undoubtedly accompanies your improved search engine ranking-an improvement that's the direct result of your enhance web optimization techniques.
