Do you post to message boards, Articles Directories, Forum discussion lists, classified ads sites, FFA sites or newsgroups? Posting ads and articles to various sites are a great way to get noticed and attract others to your site. But what draws people to some ads or articles but ignore others? Well, people will usually read the subject line before they read your ad or article, so it's important they get noticed. Below are ten simple, but powerful tips to get your ads or articles noticed.
1. Use extra white space creatively in your subject line. You can add extra blank spaces between your
words or letters.
2. Combine capital letters with lower case letters. Use all capital letters in every other word or use a
capital letter between every other lower case letter.
3. Add text symbols in your subject line. You could use them between words and letters. Start and end
your subject with a text symbol. ( *, $, >,{,] )
4. Begin your subject line with the word "STOP!". People have been trained their whole life to stop
what they are doing when they see that word.
5. Ask people a question in your subject line. We all went to school and were repetitively branded to
answer questions.
6. Use the word "FREE" in your subject line. Your offer should be attractive to your target audience.
It could be free information, software, trials, etc.
7. Begin your subject line with an "online smile :)". People use smiles offline to gain people's attention
and to win their trust, why not use them online too.
8. Don't use unbelievable claims in your subject line. People have or know some who has been ripped
off and trained themselves to ignore those claims.
9. Don't use all capital letters in your subject line. It is hard to read, looks unprofessional, and on the
internet it's considered a symbol for shouting.
10. Test different subject lines to see which ones draws the most traffic to your web site. Also, read
the FAQ before posting a message or ad anywhere.
Generating sales through our ads is one of our goals and using these and other techniques will get you on your way. Remember, they will only work if you do. Come back next week for more tips, tricks and techniques to assist you in your marketing efforts. Remember we're all in this together and I'm pulling for you.

Persuasive Triggers To Popularize Your Ads
In all the flotsam and jetsam of Internet ad sites one needs to stand out and get potential buyers to click through. The problem most people have is that they are using the same templates and techniques gleamed from "me too" sites. In order to differentiate oneself you need to bring something new to the table and persuade the viewer to click and become a buyer. Here's a few tricks you can try:
1. Most people want to win over others. Tell your prospects how their family or friends will admire
them if they buy your product.
2. Most people want to associate with others that have the same interests. Give your prospects a free
membership in a private chat room just for them.
3. Most people want a clean environment. Tell your prospects that you'll donate a percentage of your
profits to help clean the environment.
4. Most people want to eat good food. Give your customers free coupons to a nice restaurant when
they purchase your product.
5. Most people need or want new information to absorb. Give your customers a free ebook or tip
sheet when they purchase your product.
6. Most people want to avoid or end pain. Tell your prospects how much pain and problems they
will avoid or end if they buy your product.
7. Most people want to gain pleasure. Tell your prospects how much pleasure or the benefits they
will gain, if they purchase your product.
8. Most people don't want to miss out on a major opportunity that they could regret in the future. Tell
your prospects you'll be raising the price shortly.
9. Most people want to have good health and live longer. Give your prospects free coupons to a
fitness club when they buy your product.
10. Most people want to belong to something or a select group. Give your prospects a free member-
ship into your club when they buy your product.

Why They Won't Buy From You
You do the social media, email and list marketing techniques to the letter. You are sure that the traffic you have is targeted and your niche is a “hot market”. But even though you are getting traffic, the sales don't seem to show up. What could be the reason people are forgoing buying form you? Here's 10 possible reasons:
1. You don't make people feel safe when they order. Remind people that they are ordering through a secure server. Tell them you won't sell their e-mail address and all their information will be kept confidential.
2. You don't make your ad copy attractive. Your ad lists features instead of benefits. The headline does not attract at your target audience. You don't list any testimonials or guarantees included in your ad.
3. You don't remind people to come back and visit. People usually don't purchase the first time they visit. The more times they visit your site, the greater the chance they will buy. The most effective way is to give them a free subscription to your e-zine.
4. You don't let people know anything about your business. They will feel more comfortable if they know who they are buying from. Publish a section called "About Us" on your web site. Include your business history, profile of employees, contact information etc.
5. You don't give people as many ordering options as possible. Accept credit cards, checks, money orders, and other forms of electronic payments. Take orders by phone, e-mail, web site, fax, mail, etc.
6. You don't make your web site look professional. You want to have your own domain name. Your web site should be easy to navigate through. The graphics should be related to the theme of your web site.
7. You don't let people read your ad before they get your freebie. When you use free stuff to lure people to your web site include it below your ad copy or on another web page. If you list the freebie above your ad they may never look to see what you're selling.
8. You don't attract the target audience that would buy your product or service. A simple way to do this is to survey your existing customers to see what attracted them to buy. This information will help you improve your target marketing and advertising.
9. You don't test and improve your ad copy. There are many people who write an ad copy and never change it. You have to continually test and improve your ad copy to get the highest possible response
rate.
10. You don't give people any urgency to buy now. Many people are interested in your product but they put off buying it till later and eventually forget about it. Entice them to buy now with a freebie or discount and include a deadline date when the offer ends.
Of course if you are selling Buggy Whips in a Automobile market one will have trouble making sales. So make sure the products you sell make sense to the market you are trying to reach.
Come back next week for more tips, tricks and techniques to help wit your marketing efforts. Remember we're all in this together and I'm pulling for you.

Easy and Low Cost Techniques to Multiply Your Sales
Regardless of what the “Doom and Gloom” naysayers on television and in print are saying, people are still making purchases and getting along in life. However if you see a bit of a downturn in your sales here are some low cost and easy tricks you can try:
1. When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer. You could follow-up with a "thank you" email and include an advertisement for other products you sell. You could follow-up every few months.
2. You could upsell to your customers. When they're at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They could just add it to their original order.
3. Tell your customers if they refer four customers to your web site, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales.
4. When you sell a product, give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply the sale you just made.
5. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products. You could include an ad on or with the product for other products you sell. You could make sales for the reproduction rights and sales on the back end product.
6. You could cross promote your product with other businesses' products in a package deal. You can
include an ad or flyer for other products you sell and have other businesses selling for you.
7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This will attract them to buy more products from you.
8. Send your customers a catalog of add-on products for the original product they purchased. This could be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product they will buy the extra add-ons.
9. Sell gift certificates for your products. You'll make sales from the purchase of the gift certificate, when the recipient cashes it in. They could also buy other items from your web site.
10. Send your customers free products with their product package. The freebies should have your ad
printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball caps, t-shirts etc. This will allow other people to see
your ad and order.
These are just a sampling of the techniques you can use. Try one at first and add on as you grow your business. Come back next week for more tricks, tips and techniques to assist your marketing efforts. Remember, we're all in this together and I'm pulling for you.

Your Business Is Failing? Here's Possible Reasons Why
Excuses, everyone has them and they especially run fast and furious during down times. Yes it is easy to point fingers all around, but what really needs to happen is deep introspection into the real reasons. Yes it is hard, and the answers might not be pleasant, but finding solutions works better than worrying about problems. Here are some ideas that might help you resurrect your business:
1. You don't offer free original content.
2. You don't use a signature file on your e-mails.
3. You don't offer free software.
4. You don't have your own domain name.
5. You don't offer a free contest or sweepstakes.
6. You don't test and improve your ad copy.
7. You don't offer a free web site directory.
8. You don't give people any urgency to buy now.
9. You don't offer a free e-zine.
10. You don't attract the target audience that would
buy your product or service.
11. You don't offer a free community.
12 You don't let people read your ad before they get
your freebie.
13. You don't offer a free affiliate program.
14. You don't make your web site look professional.
15. You don't offer a free online service.
16. You don't give people as many ordering options
as possible.
17. You don't offer free current information.
18. You don't let people know anything about your
business.
19. You don't offer free samples of your product
or service.
20. You don't make people feel safe and secure
when they order.
Now there might be other reasons (offering machines that run only MS-DOS, or obsolete services) but for an online business these pretty much sum up the problem. So go ahead and put a few in place and see what happens.
Come back next week for more tips, tricks, and techniques to assist in your marketing efforts. We're all in this together and I'm pulling for you.

Twittering Your Life Away
Okay okay we all get it, “Twitter” is the greatest thing since, since,.. well since the last greatest thing since... If I see one more blog post about how to use “twitter” and other social media I will scream. Most of these posts are just repurposed and recycled garbage. They offer no insight nor do they say anything new. Stop already and show some creativity.
The main trouble with Twitter is that in order to do anything productive one needs followers. To get followers, one needs to follow. This can lead to a bunch of flotsam and jetsam floating your way. There are those that actually will send dozens of “tweets” your way, and by the way to everyone else, that your tweets tend to get lost in the fog. Yes this is a problem and a big one as there is no real way to get your message across without sending the messages every minute or so. That is of course considered bad practice, so you will lose followers and then of course you will need to find more, and son and so forth until you just rip out your hair and scream.
The only people who are making money off twitter are thse that got in early and sold a bunch of ebooks on using titter. Yes the posts come in so fast and furious that one cannot keep up with it unless you are n it 24/7/365. If your customers or potential clients aren't on 24/7/365, well your message has a snowball's chance in July to make it through to them.
If you don't know anything about Twitter, Facebook, Linked-In, etc, then where have you been hiding? Social sites are the next big thing, or was last year. You see once the main media starts talking about something being new and exciting, one knows it has been around for at least a couple of years and is old hat, and probably on it's way out of fashion. Yes there is way too much coverage overload. Anyone remember MySpace? Last year this was supposed to be the “wave of the future”, and anyone who is anyone was supposed to be on it and active. Does anyone really use it anymore besides college students, old ladies and porn sites? I didn't think so either.
The thing is these so called “Social Sites” are nothing more than Chat Rooms and BBS' with better graphical ability. There is nothing new about them, or their concepts. It is just the ability to store pictures and videos that separate them from their ancestors. In fact the BBS' and chat rooms evolved from old networking meetings in the days before the Internet (Yes Virginia there was a time, long ago called the 1980's before the Internet was available to all). So the old rules of civility and dealing with other people apply. Whatever worked in 17th Century France, works still today.
I know it is boring to say that these sites are just upgrades and updates, I mean one has to sell the service right? One has to sell newscasts before they become the next newspapers, anachronisms in the modern age. Yes newspapers are on their way out, and television newscasts are to be the buggy whips of the 21st century. So they need to try to stay “hip” and “cool” (yes I actually heard those terms on a newscast the other day by some dork who was trying to prove she was “with it”.) by showing they are into “today's technology”. The problem is that it is yesterday's news. Why is this so? Because in order for them to talk about it, it has to be safe.
But I regress...
Yes Social sites are good if you just respect their uses and give as much as you want to receive. For marketers one does need to use them, and they are great places to make contacts, but beware of all the flotsam and jetsam that one has to wade through before finding the gold.
Social sites and Web 2.0, use them but don't count on them to be a magic bullet. Hard work, persistence, and good service/products will win the day.

How Your Web Site Text Impacts Buying Decisions
Everyone is big these days on getting the flashiest graphics, fancy videos and other visually pleasing and attention grabbing gizmos. However there is one old standby that subconsciously effects your customer's buying decisions when it comes to your web site. The appearance of your text.
The appearance of your web site text can actually increase or decrease your sales. The size, font, style
and color of your text can easily affect your reader's buying decision. Below are ten points to consider
when typing text on your web site.
1. Easy To Read- You want to make it easy for your visitors to read your text. You don't want to use a light colored text like yellow on a white background and you don't want to use dark blue text on a black background.
2. Create A Mood- You want to use the color of your text to create a mood for the reader. If you want
to create excitement, use some red text. If you want to create greed, use a some green text. Use colors that would put you in a mood to buy your product.
3. Grab Their Attention- You can grab your readers attention by using headlines. Make the headline more noticeable by using a different colored headline than your ad copy. This offsets the headline and pulls the reader into the rest of your ad copy.
4. Highlight Keywords- You can emphasize phrases and keywords that are important to your readers. For instance, use super, deluxe, fast, low price, free, new, etc. You could use bolding, underlining, italics, color changing, etc.
5. Sizing It Up- You don't want to use text that is too small or to large. You want to use larger text for your headlines and subheadings. You want to use smaller text for your ad copy. If your grandparents can't read it, it's too small.
6. Don't Use All CAPS!- You don't want to use all capital letters in your ad copy. It looks unprofessional and is hard to read. You may want to use all CAPS in your headlines to offset it.
7. Font Properly- You want to use a text font that relates to the product or services your selling. You
don't want to use a comic type font when your selling business books.
8. Spacing Out- It's important to use spaces properly when typing your text. You should indent and bullet key benefits your product or service will give the reader. Your headlines, subheadings, sentences and paragraphs should be consistently spaced throughout your web site.
9. I Need Sunglasses- Don't use all bright text colors and backgrounds on your web site. It will make your text hard to read and actually bother your readers' eyes to the point they just decide to leave your site.
10. Check The Readability- It's important to check your spelling and grammar before you upload your
web page. When writing an ad copy you're allowed to break some of those grammar rules to get your point across.
Come back next week for more tips, tricks, and techniques to assist you with your marketing efforts. Remember, we're all in this together and I'm pulling for you.

The Secrets Of Forum Marketing Exposed
Forums are just the Web 2.0 versions of the old Chat Rooms from the BBS days. You will find them on all social Networking sites (such as Facebook, Linked In etc.) and some Wordpress blogs. These can be a boom or a bust depending upon on you use them and how you act in them. If you are careful and polite they can be a goldmine in marketing your business. If not they can leave people with a bad taste for you and your services.
Forum Marketing is the use of online forums to promote your product or service. forums are usually broken into categories. Find the right forum where your targeted audience would gather. Create a forum profile with your ad, business info, or signature file in it. Announce to everyone in the forum something interesting or free that's offered on your web site. This will draw visitors to your web site. Always be aware of forum rules before engaging the visitors in a sales pitch that could be considered SPAM.
Send electronic messages to target people in the forum that would be interested in your products or services. Start a conversation with them. After a few moments indirectly bring your sales pitch into the conversation. This is a great way to do one-on-one selling electronically. Do not directly SPAM them with your messages.
Marketing With Your Web Site's Forum
Just having a forum on your Web site can create an online community and bring visitors to your Web site. Host a free online seminar in your forum about a subject of your expertise. Use a forum to meet with current customers if they have any questions or problems. Regularly schedule free events in your forum. Schedule experts to speak in your forum.
Host other people's forums as an expert. Charge for doing this to earn extra money or just do it for free to gain publicity. Make sure your spelling and grammar is correct when chatting, so people understand what you are typing.
Use some forum emotions and acronyms to help people understand you're typing.
Use " :D " to show your laughing
Use " :) " to show you are smiling
Use " BTW " which means "by the way"
Use " FAQ " which means "frequently asked questions"
Use " IMHO " which means "in my humble opinion"
Use " LOL " which means "laughing out loud"
Use " TU " which means "thank you"
Marketing your products or services in forums is a more personal way to gain new customers. Prospects are actually communicating with you instead of reading your ad. You may even make a few friends along the way.
Remember to know the rules before you post and advertise. Following the rules and being helpful will go a long way to building your reputation and your business.

Need New Product Ideas? Try These 10 Techniques.
The life cycle of a product is finite, so in order to keep sales moving forward one needs to find new products to sell. Affiliate programs are good way to start, but one needs their own product for true sustainable success. But how does one go about deciding what product to develop? Also how does one get ideas for new ideas? Here are 10 techniques that will get you started.
1. Solve an existing problem for people. There are thousands of problems in the world. Create a product that can provide a solution to one of those problems.
2. Find out what's the current hot trend. You can find out what the new trends are by watching T.V, reading magazines and surfing the net. Just create a product that's related to the current hot trend.
3. Improve a product that is already on the market. You see products at home, in ads, at stores etc. Just take a product that's already out there and improve it.
4. Create a new niche for a current product. You can set yourself apart from your competition by creating a niche. Your product could be faster, bigger, smaller, or quicker than you competitor's product.
5. Add on to an existing product. You could package your current product with other related products. For example, you could package a football with a team jersey and football cards.
6. Reincarnate an older product. Maybe you have a book that's out of print and is no longer being sold. You could change the title, design a new front cover, and bring some of the old content up to date.
7. Ask your current customers. You could contact some of your existing customers by phone or e-mail and ask them what kind of new products they would like to see on the market.
8. Combine two or more products together to create a new one. For example, you could take a brief case and add a thermos compartment inside to keep a drink hot or cold.
9. Survey the people who visit your web site. You could post a survey or questionnaire on your web site. Ask visitors what kind of products they would like to see on the market.
10. You could create a new market for your existing product. For example, if you're selling plastic bottles to a pop company, you could turn around and sell those bottles to a fruit drink company.

1. Solve an existing problem for people. There are thousands of problems in the world. Create a product that can provide a solution to one of those problems.
2. Find out what's the current hot trend. You can find out what the new trends are by watching T.V, reading magazines and surfing the net. Just create a product that's related to the current hot trend.
3. Improve a product that is already on the market. You see products at home, in ads, at stores etc. Just take a product that's already out there and improve it.
4. Create a new niche for a current product. You can set yourself apart from your competition by creating a niche. Your product could be faster, bigger, smaller, or quicker than you competitor's product.
5. Add on to an existing product. You could package your current product with other related products. For example, you could package a football with a team jersey and football cards.
6. Reincarnate an older product. Maybe you have a book that's out of print and is no longer being sold. You could change the title, design a new front cover, and bring some of the old content up to date.
7. Ask your current customers. You could contact some of your existing customers by phone or e-mail and ask them what kind of new products they would like to see on the market.
8. Combine two or more products together to create a new one. For example, you could take a brief case and add a thermos compartment inside to keep a drink hot or cold.
9. Survey the people who visit your web site. You could post a survey or questionnaire on your web site. Ask visitors what kind of products they would like to see on the market.
10. You could create a new market for your existing product. For example, if you're selling plastic bottles to a pop company, you could turn around and sell those bottles to a fruit drink company.
You don't have to implement all 10 of these techniques right away. Put one or two into operation at a time and see what works. You just might surprise yourself as you dream up even more ways.

Web 2.0 For Beginners
All the talk the last few years have been of Web2.0 this, Web 2.0 that etc, etc. Believe it or not there are a lot of people still confused about what Web 2.0 is all about.
Well what exactly is Web2.0? Well it is nothing more than an upgrade in the way we communicate. Web 1.0 was all about static web pages, Usenet groups, Multiple User Dungeons (games like Doom, and Dungeons and Dragons) and basic chat forums. Web 2. is the same, except the technology now exists for these groups, forums games and web pages to be interactive. We now have sound and video on our pages, we are able to communicate directly with others through Live Chat and Instant Messaging. We can even play nice instead of just shooting at one another (though those games still exist for those into that sort of thing, but again gamers can form cooperative teams instead of going it alone). In a word, Web 2.0 is about community.
We become more of a community. We cooperate more with each other, we collaborate on projects through web applications. We have meetings now across continents without anyone having to leave their home base. It is a sharing time. Even the gamers are in on this one forming teams and community groups (like Sims and its clones). Web 2.0 brings us all together on the web. It crosses all boundaries and borders. It is bringing humanity closer to its goal of oneness. The only roadblock are governments that try to oppress free speech and access to the net, and of course petty forum and site managers who do the same due to their own biases and hatreds.
The second is more prevalent and more dangerous as people try to express different views, but when say someone disagrees with the current group think (like when a conservative tries to debate on a liberal site, or a vice versa, they get blocked, called a racist fascist and other similar names) they get blocked by the petty little dictators running the site. This is the biggest threat to free speech in the 21st century.
But I regress.
What might one say are the tools of Web 2.0, and how does one use them?
They are simply:
Blogs – used to voice one's thoughts, opinions, knowledge or just whatever in print, audio and/or video.
Video – used to promote oneself and ideas or just to say hello and “Look At Me”.
Podcasts – using audio to voice one's thoughts, opinions etc.
Social Sites – Where people come together in community like atmospheres
Twitter – used to tell people what you are doing at any given moment in your life.
Live Chats – Software that allows visitors to your site to contact you to ask questions
Misc – Sites like Digg, Buzz Up, etc that rank popularity by others voting on your content.
These are just a few of the many tools out there, and they seem to be the most popular at the moment. The trick is to go and use as many of these as possible in your marketing efforts if you expect to survive in today's modern business environment.
Over the next few weeks I will be discussing these and their uses in more detail. In addition I will discuss other aspects to Web 2.0, so be sure to visit weekly.
To sum it all up, Web 2.0 is about coming together to better understand us all better.
Come back next week for more tips, tricks and techniques. Remember we're all in this together, and I'm pulling for ya.

Impact Viral Marketing Strategies
Viral Marketing is allowing people to giveaway and use your free product or service in order to multiply your marketing quickly over the internet. The idea behind viral marketing is that you include your ad with the freebie people giveaway or use. Below are ten high impact viral marketing strategies:
1. Allow people to reprint your articles on their web site, in their e-zine, newsletter, magazine or ebooks. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.
2. Allow people to use any of your freebies as free bonuses for products or services they sell. Include your ad on all your freebies.
3. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own web site. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.
4. Allow people to sign up for a free web site on your server. Since you are giving away the space, require them to include your banner ad at the top of the site.
5. Allow people to add their link to your free web site directory. Just require that they return a link back to your web site, advertising your directory.
6. Allow people to provide your free online service to their web site, visitors, or e-zine subscribers. They could be free e-mail, e-mail consulting, search engine submissions, etc.
7. Allow people to give away your free software. Just include your business advertisement inside the software program.
8. Allow people to give away your free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site.
9. Allow people to place an advertisement in your free ebook if, in exchange, they give away the ebook to their web visitors or e-zine subscribers.
10. Allow people to give away your free ebook to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the internet.
As always there is no one size fits all, so try a few, mix and match and find the right mix for your company.

Why New Year's Resolutions Never Hold
Ah the end of another wonderful year and everyone is getting ready to party hardy and ring in the New Year with festive cheer. We also seem to take time to reflect on our lives and make silly resolutions (lose weight, make more money, be more loving, eat more pizza, etc.) that we are bound to never keep.
I am amazed how we go about and celebrate useless anniversaries like this. Let's face it time is a vague concept, and measuring time solely artificial. So why do we do this? Well because human beings are anal and need to measure things. How else will we know how we have wasted our lives away, frittering away time by celebrating useless milestones unless we had a way to measure them?
Besides, as it turns out, we have changed the way we measure time so many times in our span of existence before settling on the one the world accepts now (set forth by Western Europe Standards) that no one really knows the exact age of anything, and all the scientists do is make guesses so as to keep funding going for another artificial period of time. Great work if you can get it.
As it turns out, that is a great phrase isn't it. I mean if you use the phrase “As it turns out”, it makes one sound profound and intelligent as if they know what they are talking about without actually being an expert on the subject. It gives one the illusion of doing research without all that mucking about in libraries or reading trade journals or the like. But I regress.
But anyways the topic of the day (didn't think I'd get around to it did you), is about New Year's resolutions and why it is basically impossible to keep them. As it turns out (that lovely phrase again) we are basically hard wired not to keep them. Why? Because the way the brain stores information. As it turns out, the brain stores information similar to holographic images. But, in order to retrieve that information one has to be in the same mental state as when the information was stored.
When we make our resolutions we are usually in the midst of a celebration and in a certain stage where alcohol in undetermined quantities, is working on our brain. So in order to remember these resolutions one has to be in the same state of inebriation (or dehydration after the fact) to remember these.
For example when one is out partying too hard they never seem to remember the embarrassing things they say or do. They of course seem to be the only ones, and they wonder why everyone is all upset at them. That is until they reach an equal mental state of inebriation later.
So we never remember these until the next New Year's Eve when we start celebrating and reflecting on our lives again.
So I say hang it all and just live your life as the best person possible, give your all in everything you do and you will be fine.
Of course there is one resolution you should all make before you start your celebrating:

I am amazed how we go about and celebrate useless anniversaries like this. Let's face it time is a vague concept, and measuring time solely artificial. So why do we do this? Well because human beings are anal and need to measure things. How else will we know how we have wasted our lives away, frittering away time by celebrating useless milestones unless we had a way to measure them?
Besides, as it turns out, we have changed the way we measure time so many times in our span of existence before settling on the one the world accepts now (set forth by Western Europe Standards) that no one really knows the exact age of anything, and all the scientists do is make guesses so as to keep funding going for another artificial period of time. Great work if you can get it.
As it turns out, that is a great phrase isn't it. I mean if you use the phrase “As it turns out”, it makes one sound profound and intelligent as if they know what they are talking about without actually being an expert on the subject. It gives one the illusion of doing research without all that mucking about in libraries or reading trade journals or the like. But I regress.
But anyways the topic of the day (didn't think I'd get around to it did you), is about New Year's resolutions and why it is basically impossible to keep them. As it turns out (that lovely phrase again) we are basically hard wired not to keep them. Why? Because the way the brain stores information. As it turns out, the brain stores information similar to holographic images. But, in order to retrieve that information one has to be in the same mental state as when the information was stored.
When we make our resolutions we are usually in the midst of a celebration and in a certain stage where alcohol in undetermined quantities, is working on our brain. So in order to remember these resolutions one has to be in the same state of inebriation (or dehydration after the fact) to remember these.
For example when one is out partying too hard they never seem to remember the embarrassing things they say or do. They of course seem to be the only ones, and they wonder why everyone is all upset at them. That is until they reach an equal mental state of inebriation later.

Keep Your Profits Rolling In The New Year
Keep Your Profits Rolling In The New Year
Ah a new year is upon us. The time of year we pause and reflect upon our lives over the past 12 months. We remember and glow in the good times, shudder at the bad times and ponder on what we missed and make plans to change our lives for the better. We also tend to take this time to inventory our business for the past year and make new goals to keep profits rolling in and our business growing. Here's 10 ideas to help the profits roll in during the new year.
1. Give people a free online utility. When you offer a utility that can solve a person's problem, people
will definitely visit your web site.
2. Offer a free affiliate/reseller program. When you offer people a free opportunity to make money they
will line up to visit your web site.
3. Supply news stories related to your site. People want current news on the topics they are interested
in. You could also include new "how to" articles.
4. Offer your visitors a free community. People like to have a place were they can have discussions with others on a particular subject.
5. Make people feel safe when they order. Explain to them you won't sell their e-mail address and all
their personal information will be kept confidential.
6. Offer free samples or trials of your product. This will let people experience your product and attract
people to your web site.
7. Make your ad copy attractive. Your ad should lists benefits before the features. Include guarantees
and testimonials in your ad.
8. Remind people to come back and visit your site. They usually don't purchase the first time. The more
times they visit, the greater the chance they'll buy.
9. Let people know anything about your business history. They'll feel more comfortable if they know
who they are buying from.
10. Give people as many ordering options. Accept credit cards, checks, money orders, and other forms
of electronic payments.
Use these and see your profits rolling in the new year. Here's hoping that the new year finds peace, health, happiness and prosperity for all. Come back next week for more great Marketing and Sales tips.
Happy New Year!
Mahalo.
