Five Ecommerce Design Mistakes that Could Be Killing Your Sales

2013-11-21T03:53:00.000-08:00

In building an eCommerce site that customers love largely comes down to two things: sweating (and testing) the small stuff, and understanding human psychology.

How do people view, browse, and use your site? While testing will be the final judgement for what works on your site, conversion studies can be a great place to begin when designing your site.
Today I'd like to go over five big eCommerce design mistakes that I commonly notice on far too many of the shops that I visit.

Be sure to take careful note if your site is making any of the following mistakes, and try implementing A/B tests with my corrections; I have a hunch you'll see a noticeable change in your bottom line!

#1. Lack of a Clear Value Proposition

One of my favorite conversion experts, Peep Laja of Markitekt, has the perfect quote for why communicating your value to customers is so important:
Your value proposition is the #1 thing that determines whether people will bother reading more about your product or hit the back button. If I could give you only one piece of conversion advice, “test your value proposition” would be it.

A strong value proposition is your argument as to why customers should buy from you when they could buy from the competition. This is especially important for ecommerce, because why should customers buy from you when they could buy from Amazon?

Unfortunately, not only do many ecommerce sites have poor value propositions, but many sites even have difficulty communicating exactly what they sell! I don't mean to pick on Yummy Tummy—a great soup and baked goods company—but landing on their site is one of the more confusing experiences I've had online:

What exactly am I buying here? If I can't figure it out soon, I'm likely to leave.
Compare that with sites that have excellent value propositions, such as Wolverine Boots:
Or Luxy Hair:

Both of these examples also make great used of images in their value propositions. Although clear, concise copy is very important for every website, remember that images can also tell a story about a product. As legendary advertiser Claude Hopkins would say:

Use pictures only to attract those who may profit you. Use them only when they form a better selling argument than the same amount of space set in type.
The essential elements of any good value proposition include the following items:

A headline (possibly with subheadings) that uses simple, clear language as to why an item is worth purchasing. It's not a slogan, it's a promise of value, such as "Create a professional client proposal in minutes," as seen on Bidsketch.

Body copy explaining why buying this item from you is the best choice. What do you have to offer that others don't? Why are you different?

Additional benefits and social proof (elements like free shipping and guarantees).

Images that create desire by showcasing the item in use.

When people understand what they are buying, and why they should buy it from you, I guarantee that your site will see an increase in sales over a design that doesn't communicate clearly with customers. People often don't know why they might need your product until you tell them ("You'll love our newest product because..."), so don't be afraid to be direct and crystal clear.

#2. Misguided Product Descriptions

We all know that product descriptions can be extremely important, but oftentimes eCommerce store owners include or remove them at abandon.
As it turns out, these descriptions mean different things when you are selling different products. Check out the study conducted by the Nielsen Group below:

Here's what they found:
Thumbnails of bookcases were studied intensely, whereas thumbnails of flat-panel TVs were mainly ignored. In fact, on the full Amazon page, only 18% of the viewing time was spent on the photos, while 82% was spent on the text.

The comparison was between bookshelves and shelving on the Pottery Barn website, and TV listings on Amazon. When you think about it, the difference in the products is quite clear: most people buying a bookshelf care about how it will look in their room. Most people buying a TV do care somewhat about how it looks, but are mostly concerned with the specs (how big, Plasma or LCD, is it a smart TV?, etc.)
As the Nielsen write-up would so humorously point out:

The TV photos are of no help in deciding between the products. A guy in a canoe vs. a football player? What, because I watch more football than water sports, I’ll buy the TV showing a football player?

That's in contrast to a bookshelf, where cherry colored vs. oak colored matters. You can incorporate this information into how you handle product descriptions by really thinking about your product and how your customer shops for it.

Do they care mostly about how it looks, or about what it's capable of? Adjust your image use and product descriptions based on this need, and you'll have far more informed and happy shoppers.

#3. Failing to Properly Utilize Quality Images

If you happen to sell items that are mostly dependent on looks (like the Pottery Barn example above), you should know by now that the visuals that you use are incredibly important.
In fact, one case study from Visual Website Optimizer showcased how an increase in eCommerce image size improved conversions by a notable amount:

Variation 2 with the large images and product description viewable on mouse over was the winner. It resulted in a straight 9.46% increase in sales (96% chance to beat original).
In another test first mentioned by Peep Laja, an online store was able to improve conversions via site search by 100% when they included images in the search bar, which looked like this:

There is also the matter of image quality. As this study mentions, one of the best ways to sell a physical good is to get it in somebody's hands. Since you can't do that online, the best alternative is to get them to imagine it in their hands.

High quality images help with this.
Kith NYC always has excellent images for the products they sell. When you're selling a $500 pair of men's boot, the visual better capture some imaginations:

As you can imagine, "action" shots often work well for fashion items and any product that is using aesthetics as a big selling point.

Consider the comments that people left on Reddit when someone posted about a Victorinox watch that was being sold on Amazon:

That’s a great picture. It looks so much better than it does in that Amazon listing. I wouldn’t give it the time of day just going by the Amazon page but your picture…
Remember that your images are going to be a big part of moving your products in many industries, so if you're selling homegrown stuff or even dropshipping, invest in quality photos.

#4.) No Visual Hierarchy or Attention to Fitt's Law

You don't need to be a web designer to understand the importance of a visual hierarchy. One of the better images I've seen that clearly showcases how one should work comes from Josh Byers of StudioPress:

With a visual hierarchy in place, it's easy to navigate a website because actions begin to become recognizable due to the site's design. It becomes apparent that all accent colored text is a click able link, and that base text is un click able, used only to complement the site's overall background color.

One part of this hierarchy is the use of Fitt's law. In essence, the law states that eyes are drawn to larger items which makes them more click able (duh). Therefore, important elements should be made larger and stand out from the rest of the page.

Color accents can also be used here, such as how the old MailChimp site used to offset their blue background with a red button:

Why is Fitt's law important?
Take a look at this case study from TechWyse. The team was working on a trucking site, and first examined where people were looking on the page:

As you can see, that big unclickable 'NO FEES' button was hogging all the attention! The problem is that this section of the site doesn't help to make any sales, the phone number is how they land customers.
Changes had to be made, and fast:

This is obviously much better. On-page viewing patterns don't automatically equate to more sales, but at the very least more people could find and were viewing the company phone number.
How about your site? Do any large, eye-grabbing on page elements not lead to direct sales or leads? Try to ease friction by looking at how you can highlight the most important elements on your site and blend in the less important links and information.

#5. The Site Doesn't Look Trustworthy

When competing against the big boys of eCommerce, there is one thing you need to realize: their brand recognition means that they don't have to prove to people that they are trustworthy.
Just because you are trustworthy does not mean customers will believe you.

Your site has to reflect your willingness, ability and track record for delivering on your promises. As Derek Halpern first revealed, an interesting study done on the trustworthiness of health sites found that the design of the site played more of a role than the actual content of the site.

So how can you make your site appear more trustworthy? You need to take a customer focused approach here—too many companies offer up social proof in a way that seems like chest bumping, instead of thinking about the psychology behind why a potential customer might be worried about shopping via an online store they've never used before.

Instead, really think about what worries a customer might have when shopping from an unkown store, and structure your social proof to address these issues. Here are a few of my favorite elements to utilize:

Customer Testimonials

The perfect testimonial is typically found through a well known customer, or a customer that perfectly represents one of your personas. In other words, the source of the testimonial often matters just as much as what was said, so put your best foot forward by selecting the praise you received that will be most comforting to prospective customers.

Notable Press

Prospects respect notable publications in your industry (Forbes for business, GQ for fashion, etc.), and if you've been featured there, it is very much worth noting. A recognizable press mention will go a long way in letting customers know that you're for real. Check out how Pebble Watch features their press mentions with logos right at the top of their homepage.

Interesting Info About the Company

How can customer guarantee that you'll be around even a few months after their purchase? One of the best ways to show that you plan to be around for the long haul is to share some interesting information about what your company does. At Help Scout, we share how many emails we processed last month:

An Up to Date Design

You aren't required to hire a world class designer (though you can find some here) to launch your bootstrapped ecommerce business, but just know that people do judge books buy their cover, and will judge your business by your site's design. Avoid trends, but make sure your site looks up to date and cleanly designed.

Always Be Testing

The final thought I'd like to leave you with when it comes to your eCommerce store design is that at a certain level, testing should become an ongoing process.
You can always discover some unusual things that go against the "best practices" that people preach elsewhere.

Consider the following case study from Body Ecology, which revealed a startling finding: the site greatly improved conversion when they removed drop-downs from their navigation, and instead utilized category pages with brief descriptions:

As you can read in the published case study, the change was relatively minor in design but fairly drastic for results:

As you can clearly see via the results, the average revenue per conversion has increased significantly and now stands at $143.61, which is great if you compare it to the average revenue per conversion of the Control, which was $100.33.

So remember that best practices are just a starting point, so adopt the mindset of "always be testing" and you won't fall prey to common practices that may not be working for your site.

How to Get The Right Product to Sell

2013-11-21T02:26:00.003-08:00

Why is it that some small businesses like Diamond Candles (230,000+ Facebook Fans), Luxy Hair (708,000+ YouTube Subscribers) and DodoCase (Winner of Shoplift Build-a-Business Contest) break through in their hyper-competitive niches and become market leaders in less than a few years?

The most important factors in creating a successful eCommerce business is knowing what to sell online. Finding the perfect product(s) to sell is often the most important step in creating a profitable and growing company.

In the past 2 years, I have been trying to answer the question - what is the perfect eCommerce product? To better understand what the perfect eCommerce product is, I had to determine common characteristics successful products and niches share.

In analyzing hundreds of successful and unsuccessful products and niches alike, I developed a comprehensive list of key metrics and criteria to evaluate new ideas against.

What follows is my definitive criteria to evaluating your eCommerce product and niche.

Note: You will likely never find a product or niche that fits all the criteria below. Evaluating your idea against this list though will give you a better understanding of your chosen product/niche, helping avoid pitfalls and increase your overall chances of success.

#1. What Is The Potential Market Size?

Choose a product and niche with a small but sufficient market size. Avoid niches that are too small with low keyword searches. For example, a product that caters to pregnant females between 25-40 years old is probably good. But a product that caters to pregnant females between 25-40 years old who like punk rock music will likely be too narrow. It will be harder to find customers, more expensive to acquire them and the small market size will limit your potential growth substantially.

Example: Shoplift store Daneson sells luxury toothpicks. You can probably imagine that the market for luxury toothpicks isn’t massive. Being in a small niche like luxury toothpicks can be both a good and bad thing. The small market size will likely limit revenues, but if they do a great job of defining their target customers and acquiring them inexpensively, they can definitely own that niche. As a bonus, high-end toothpicks is a product that lends itself very nicely to garnering media attention.

Tools: Using Google’s Keyword Tool can help you determine search volume of chosen keywords. This can give you an idea of how many people are searching for your keyword terms and in return give you a sense of the market size. Combine that with realistic judgment and some Google searches on your interested niche and you should start to get an idea of your market viability.

#2. What's Your Competition?

What does the competitive landscape look like for your product? Are there no competitors, a few competitors or many?

When there are a lot of players in your niche, it can be a signal that the market has been validated. In order to break thought though, you will have to do something different to attract customer attention and build market share.

Example: Shopify store Luxy Hair wasn’t the first company to sell hair extensions online, the market was filled with competitors when they began two years ago. Right from the start they knew they had to do something different. Luxury entered the game with a different marketing strategy by offering value for free in the form of video tutorials on YouTube.

2 years and over 700,000 YouTube subscribers later, they are now one of the biggest online hair extension retailers in the world.

Tools: Of course, good ol’ fashioned Google and Bing searches will help you uncover current market players. Google’s Keyword Tool can tell you approximate search volumes for your chosen keywords, and also tell you how competitive they are (meaning how many other people/businesses are bidding on those words). Don’t forget, the more people bidding on your keywords, the more expensive they will be.

#3. Is it a Trend, Fad, or Growing Market?

Make sure you understand to the best of your ability where your product stands. Does your product or niche fall into fad, trend, stable or growing market?

Example: A Geiger Counter is a personal device about the size of a cell phone that tells you the level of radiation around you. Cool niche market right?

With a quick Google Trends search, I knew instantly that I would have probably made a small fortune if I had been selling them in March of 2011 right after the earthquake in Japan. Likely if I tried to sell them now, I would probably sit on my inventory for a while.

Tools: Google Trends will help give you the big picture whether something is a trend, fad, growing or stable market. If you see unexplainable spikes, try doing some further searching to see what the possible cause was of it.

#4. Can You Buy The Item Locally?

If your product is readily available locally there is one less reason for people to seek your product out online. Example, most people who want to buy a toilet plunger simply go to Walmart or their local hardware store.

If your product can be bought locally, how are you going to differentiate yourself and convince people to buy from you online? Can you offer a better selection? Higher quality? Better price?

Example: Ellusionist sells gorgeous, high-end decks of cards for magicians and card players alike. Take a look at their products. Have you even seen something like them sold locally?

#5. Who Is Your Target Customer?

At this point you don’t need to go into extreme detail but you should be aware of they type of customer you would likely be selling to and their online purchasing capabilities.

If you have a product geared for teens, you should keep in mind that most don’t have a credit card to purchase online.

Example: Clothes for Seniors offers adaptive clothing for seniors. One of their main target markets has a low level of technology and online commerce adoption. You'll need to Taylor your entire online store to accommodate them.

Tools: If you find another company selling similar products, you can use Alexa to get information on their visitor demographics, which may help you define your target market better.

#6. What Is Your Markup?

It is vitally important to take markup for a specific product into consideration before going too far into the process. This is important as there will be lots of other small fees associated selling your product that will eat away at your margins. Having a strong initial markup will provide you with the necessary cushion to absorb these variable costs.

Example: Lets look at an actual product to get a better understanding of why initial markup is so important. We will work with a Pet Pedometer - a little device you connect to your dogs collar to count how many steps they take.

This might be an interesting little niche - people are always willing to spend money on their dogs. But can you sell this product profitably?

I chose a potential selling price of $24.99 and got a cost per unit of $2 from a manufacturer on Alibaba. I added all the other approximate costs associated with selling the product into the spreadsheet below:

You can see from this example how the small fees whittle away at your margin. In this case, a product that had an initial markup of over 1,200% ends up less than 100% when all is said and done. Of course, these are just approximates and you can cut costs significantly by handling fulfillment yourself and spending less on advertising.

Tools: Try to find an example of the product you are interested in on Alibaba. Email a few manufactures to find out pricing and minimum order quantity (MOQ). From there, use Google to try to find others selling the same or similar product. How much are they charging?

Survey Monkey is a great tool for creating quick surveys to send out on your social networks to get a sense of what others would pay in your social circle.

When you begin to get more serious, you can mock up a quick website using tools like Weebly and actually try to attract a customer to put through an order to validate your price point. There can sometimes be a big different between what people say they would pay, and what they would actually pay, especially if all you solicit is friends and family members opinions.

#7. How Much Can You Sell It For?

A price point between $75-$150 is general recommended as it minimizes the need to find a large number of customers to turn a decent profit and be able to give you some cushion for customer acquisition (marketing) costs.

Prices in excess of $150 tend to come with a lot more customer scrutiny. Potential customers will want and expect a lot more re-assurance. They will have more questions and in general will create a longer, more difficult sales cycle.

Example: In our previous example with the Pet Pedometer we had a relatively low selling price of $25. Because of this, variable costs ate away at much of our profit, leaving us with a profit per unit of only $12.95. Lets say we switch out the Pet Pedometer for a new product called “Product X” and assume that “Product X” has a potential selling price of $100 (4x more than the Pet Pedometer). For consistency, I have also multiplied the other appropriate cost by a factor of 4x.

Because of the higher selling price we have much better margins 73% vs. 42% for the Pet Pedometer, and our profit per unit skyrockets from $12.95 to $76.75.

#8. Can You Offer a Subscription?

You will hear it time and time again: It’s much easier and less expensive to sell to a current customer, than to find new customers. A subscription-based business allows you to sell to the same customers many times over, automatically. There are generally two types of subscription-based eCommerce businesses, discovery and replenishment.

Examples: A discovery based eCommerce business like Quarterly Co. sends you something on a schedule but you don’t know what it is. It is picked by someone else but usually falls within the same category every period like beauty or fashion products.

A replenishment based ecommerce business like Dollar Shave Club is based on sending you things that you consume and constantly need. In this case, shaving razor blades.

A subscription ecommerce model is especially important for a company like Dollar Shave Club because of the extremely low price of their products. Monthly blade subscriptions begin at $1 USD/month. If they didn’t sell to that same customer on an ongoing basis their business model would not work.

#9. What is Your Product Size & Weight?

Product size and weight can have a big impact on your sales and bottom line. More and more customers expect free shipping these days. If your product is oversized and/or heavy, costly shipping can deter potential buyers. Did you know that shipping costs are the #1 reason for shopping cart abandonment?

Additionally, there will be added costs for shipping the products to you if you are working with an overseas manufacturer and it will increase warehouse costs if you choose to use a fulfillment warehouse.

Example: There is a popular oversize yoga mat company which sells giant workout mats. The product itself is a reasonable $99. Shipping to the USA is $25, Canada is $40 and the rest of the world is $100. For some, it would be hard for them to justify spending 40-100% more for shipping.

Same goes for any large or heavy item. You may be very keen on selling iron weight sets, and perhaps you found a great supplier that will give you an excellent price - well, you need to take into account the increased shipping cost. There's only so much in shipping costs that a customer is willing to pay.

#10. Is Your Product Durable?

How fragile is your potential product? Fragile products can be an invitation for trouble. Breakable products will cost you more in shipping/packing costs and you are bound to have more customer returns and exchanges. Always keep in mind that even if it’s the shippers fault, it’s still the customers experience with your brand. You are ultimately responsible for that entire experience.

When you get to the stage of ordering samples, test them and push them to the limits. Leave them in a hot/cold environment, apply pressure, twist it, pull it, drop it, kick it. Don’t worry about breaking a few hundred dollars in samples. It’s more important you know exactly the quality of your potential product.

Example: Play Lashes lost over $2,000 worth of product due to a damaged shipment to themselves when the shipping company tried to fit the shipment into a P.O. Box that was too small. The hard plastic cases that were protecting the delicate product shattered on most of the units. Going forward they decided to have their fulfillment warehouse bubble wrap all orders.

#11. Is Your Product Seasonal?

Businesses with seasonal products can suffer from inconsistent cash flow. Ideally, you want to find a product that will show even demand year round. At the very least, you just want to be aware of seasonal demand fluctuations to plan accordingly.

Example: Christmas items like the Omega Tree Stand are best sold leading up to the the holidays. Take a look at the Google Trends report below.

Tools: Look for seasonal trends by looking at Google Trends for your product/niche keywords.

#12. Does Your Product Serve a Passion or Pain?

Products that sell best serve a passion, relieve a pain, or solve a problem. Customer acquisition (marketing) costs tend to be lower as well since customers are actively seeking out a solution as oppose to discovering it.

Example: Pro Teeth Guard sells custom mouth guards to prevent teeth grinding. People with this problem are likely to seek out a solution and find Pro Teeth Guard rather than needing costly advertising to draw them in. As JP, owner of Pro Teeth Guard pointed out in a Skype call, “It’s a much easier sale when someone is in pain and your product helps alleviate that pain.”

#13: What Will Your Turnover Be?

It’s risky to have products that constantly need to be changed. You run the risk of not being able to sell your product before time of turnover. For example, clothing with seasonal colors or accessory products for the ever-changing smartphone and tablet market.

Now of course there are plenty of successful businesses who cater to these markets, like iPhone and iPod cases, but it's important to realize how fast your product turnover may have to be. There are costs associated with entering a market like this.

Example: I got a chance to talk to the owner of Sutra Designs who is the designer/owner of a line of leather smartphone/tablet cases. He has been having difficulties building awareness of his brand and selling his product since launch.

Sutra Designs' biggest challenge is creating enough traffic to sell his inventory before the cases become obsolete due to new models of hardware. If he choses to design new products for new hardware models, he will be faced with additional costs for developing new designs and minimum order quantities by manufacturers. This will be perpetual and ongoing because of the niche he chose.

#14. Is it Consumable or Disposable?

As we already discussed, it’s easier to sell to existing customers than to new ones. Having consumable or disposable products makes this easier by essentially putting a time limit on the products life.

Example: Manpacks sells products that generally have a lifespan like razors, condoms, socks and underwear.

#15. Do You Need to Consider Perishability?

Perishable products are risky for a physical storefront, never mind for ecommerce. Since some perishable items require speedy delivery, shipping can cost quite a bit.

For example, baked goods, meat, frozen foods, and anything else that needs to be kept cold or has a short expiration date all require special care when shipping to a customer. If you choose to sell perishable goods, you need to be prepared for the extra process and shipping costs associated with your product.

Example: The Yummy Tummy Soup Company makes delicious homemade soups and desserts that they sell and ship to customers through their ecommerce website. This model works well for them and they're doing very well, but it's not right for every ecommerce merchant. They need to prepare fresh soup every day and be very conscious of shipping times.

#16. Will There Be Restrictions & Regulations?

Before you dive into a niche or choose a product, make sure there are no regulations or restrictions, or make sure they are at least manageable. Certain chemical products, food products, and cosmetics can carry restrictions by not only the country you are importing your goods into but also the countries you are shipping your product into.

Some places to make a few phone calls are customs of the country you will be importing your product into, your warehouse if you plan on using one, and the food and drug administration if it’s a food/supplement product.

Example: Silky Polish, a non-toxic, cruelty-free nail polish, was excited about their product and niche, but ran into problems when they learned it was considered 'hazardous materials' because of flammable chemicals in it.

These regulations prevented them from having the product transported by air when they were importing it and when selling it to customers, preventing oversea sales.

#17. Is Your Product Scalable?

Many people don’t think about scalability when they first start out. It’s difficult to think about the future when you are still in the launching process but scalability should be thought of and built into the business model right from the start.

If your product is hand made or contains difficult to find materials, think about how to scale it if your business takes off. Will you be able to outsource manufacturing? Will your number of employees have to increase with the number of orders or will you be able to maintain a small team?

Conclusion

The product and niche you choose is at the very core of your business and one of the most important decision you will have to make. Although the perfect product may or may not exist, there are definitely ways to minimize risk by choosing a product and niche that have more going for it, than against it.

Using the above criteria as a guideline can help you better understand the product you are considering and increase your overall chances of success.

THE GOLDEN BOUT

HAT- TRICK 5

KEEPING A CLEAN SHEET

When people go around spreading lies about you, this is what you should do, and probably, the only thing you should do. Live your life so well that people will not believe these people.

A clean sheet is an assured point in the game of football, it is an added advantage in the game of live but in the game of success, a clean sheet is an extra player. This entail being faultless in your doings. When people sought the downfall of Daniel, only a clean sheet ensured his survival.

People will always talk about you, what they say doesn’t matter as much as whether the people then tell listen to what they are saying; whether the people they are telling, listen to what they are saying doesn’t matter as much as whether they believe.

Some people choose not to get involved in order to avoid being talked about, they forget that the” proof of the pudding, is in the eating.”If you stay in the stands and refuse playing in order not to lose, how do you expect to win? Ask yourself if spectators have ever been awarded at the end of a tournament.

The goalkeepers in the reserve have not conceded goals but they have not been seen to have kept clean sheets, you must stay in between the goal post. Those who are afraid to fall will never fly. Those who make the best of life are not those who get the best out of it but those who make the best of what they get out of it.

When you are good, you must be talked about. Let’s call it a celebrity treatment. They may not talk good about you, but they certainly can not ignore you. If they try to ridicule you, they are only trying their best to bring you down to their size because you are bigger than they are, but when you retaliate you are telling them you are not better than they are.

Those who talk behind your back are doing that because you are ahead of them and they will keep doing that as long as you remain in their front.

If nobody talks about you, then you are probably nobody. People must talk but we don’t have to pay indulgence to what they are saying, that is why they are people.

THE BALL:

In life as a whole, the only thing worse than being talked about…Is not being talked about.

Tips on How To Clean A Microwave With Vinegar And Steam!

2013-10-23T05:00:00.000-07:00

Have you ever exploded pizza sauce in the microwave? Here’s a quick and easy way to clean a microwave using only water, vinegar, and steam! It’s easy to do, only takes about five minutes, and it works great!

I was able to clean off dirt and grime I didn’t even realize was there! Mostly what I saw when I looked at the microwave were the big red pizza sauce spills, but after I was done cleaning I realized the entire thing had gone five shades whiter! Don’t just assume your microwave is yellow. It’s not; microwaves are white.

I love simple cleaning solutions like this. I made a homemade grout cleaner with just baking soda and bleach and it worked WONDERS! And this tip for cleaning a microwave is just as simple; it only requires water, vinegar, and about one minute of elbow grease to get a sparkling clean microwave!

How To Clean A Microwave With Vinegar

Here’s what you need:

vinegar
water
a bowl
a toothpick (optional)

Fill a microwaveable bowl with 1-2 cups of water and add 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar.
CAUTION: Liquids can get superheated in a microwave and explode. It isn’t common, but it can happen if you microwave liquids in a perfectly smooth container. Bubbles can’t form on a smooth surface, so the liquid won’t boil until it is jostled.

This can cause it to “explode” into boiling when you open the microwave or try to remove the bowl. But don’t freak out! Most consumer bowls and cups are not perfectly smooth, and a microwave with a turntable jostles the liquid enough to allow it to boil. But, if you are worried about it, float a toothpick in your bowl. Bubbles will be able to form on the wood, causing the water to boil without exploding.

Put the bowl in the microwave and shut the door. Microwave the water and vinegar for 5 minutes.
If your microwave is REALLY dirty, don’t open the microwave right away when the timer goes off. Leave the door shut for about two more minutes to let the steam continue to work. The steam will help loosen up caked on bits of food, and the vinegar will help eliminate any odors.

When you open the door, be careful pulling the bowl out; it will be very hot! Remove the turntable tray (carefully, it will be hot as well) and wash it in the sink.
Now just take a cloth or sponge and wipe down the inside of the microwave. The dirt and food will come right off!

If you don’t want to microwave a bowl of water and vinegar, you can also get a sponge soaking wet, pour about a teaspoon of vinegar on it, and then microwave the sponge. This doesn’t create as much steam though, so if your microwave is really dirty like mine was, use the bowl instead.

Do you have any other tips for cleaning a microwave? I was thrilled with how easy this was! What other kitchen cleaning tips have you tried?

If Attitude Is a Choice. Then Choose Wisely.

2013-10-23T04:03:00.001-07:00

Recently I’ve had several situations arise which have reminded me yet again that attitude shapes the outcome of everyday dealings in huge ways. Because of this, I decided to visit this idea in this month’s column.

Some days my schedule involves marathon radio interviews beginning at 4 a.m. As you can imagine, getting up at an hour when roosters haven’t even begun to think about warming up their vocal chords is not the most enticing of tasks.

However, as the founder and chairman of an international organization, I agree to do these interviews at such an outrageous hour because it is my responsibility to do whatever needs to be done to network for the organization.

Now, can you imagine what would happen if I answered the interviewer’s first question –which is always “How are you doing today, Dr. Misner?”– by grumbling about how I had stubbed my toe, how tired I was, or how I wished I was back in my warm bed? What would happen is that people would be immediately turned off by my negative attitude and nobody would listen to me.

This brings me to my point: In order to be a master net-worker, you must always maintain a positive attitude no matter what. With almost three decades of professional networking experience, one thing I’ve learned is how important it is to have a positive attitude in order to successfully network.

And if I’m going to go around telling other people how to discipline and train themselves to network effectively, then I darn well better be walking the talk (or at least limping along, stubbed toe and all) and maintaining the positive attitude of a master net-worker.

Now that I’ve shared one of the most important traits of a master net-worker, I figure I might as well give you another eight as well. Choosing to do these will most definitely make you more successful…

1. Being enthusiastic/motivated This is similar to number 2 just above, but it also has to do with your own internal motivation and drive to succeed.

2. Following up on referrals If you don’t take the time to follow up on the referrals you get from others, not only are you losing potential business – you are also losing the trust of those who referred you (and probably also any future referrals from them as well).

3. Having good listening skills As I’ve always said, you have two ears and only one mouth for a reason. Those who choose to use their ears more than their mouth usually gain more valuable information than those who don’t.

4. Being trustworthy It’s a proven fact that it’s much harder to re-gain trust after it is lost – choose the path of trustworthiness.

5. Always networking The strongest net-workers I’ve met are those who don’t turn their networking efforts “on” and “off” according to pre-determined hours. Networking is not a “punch the clock” activity.

6. Thanking people This sounds so simple and obvious, but I continue to be surprised at the number of people I see not doing this!

7. Being sincere Another trait that is pretty easily seen through if it’s not really meant. No one wants to do business with a snake-oil salesman.

8. Enjoying being someone who helps people This trait is very difficult to fake. A sincere love of helping others is an unbeatable complement to a hard and focused business drive.

Starting this week, try making a conscious effort to be aware of your attitude at all times and if it could stand some improvement think about three simple things you could choose to do to change your attitude for the better on a daily basis. If you’ve already got a great handle on maintaining a positive attitude, take this week to focus on one or more of the other traits of a master net-worker and think of three ways you can build your effectiveness in these areas.

The Public Health, Science & Research

2013-10-18T09:21:00.002-07:00

Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents (HPHCs)

Harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) are chemicals or chemical compounds in a tobacco product or tobacco smoke that cause, or could cause, harm to smokers or non-smokers.
The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act requires tobacco product manufacturers and importers to report quantities of HPHCs found in tobacco products or tobacco smoke by brand and sub-brand.

While there are more than 7,000 chemicals in tobacco and tobacco smoke, FDA established a list of 93 HPHCs that tobacco companies will be required to report for every regulated tobacco product sold in the U.S. All HPHCs included on the list cause or may cause serious health problems including cancer, lung disease, and addiction to tobacco products.

Menthol Cigarettes

Menthol is a flavor additive widely used in consumer and medicinal products; however, its use in tobacco products is not currently regulated. It has a minty taste and aroma, and may have cooling or painkilling properties – which can reduce the irritation and harshness of smoking when used in cigarettes.

Inviting Public Input on Menthol in Cigarettes

Menthol cigarettes raise critical public health questions. The FDA issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to take public input on menthol in cigarettes. Specifically, the FDA is requesting information to inform its thinking about potential regulatory options such as:

tobacco product standards;
sale and distribution restrictions; and
other regulatory actions and considerations.

The FDA also conducted a preliminary independent scientific evaluation of existing data and research on menthol cigarettes. The Preliminary Scientific Evaluation of the Possible Public Health Effects of Menthol Versus Nonmenthol Cigarettes addresses the association between menthol cigarettes and various outcomes, including:

initiation;
addiction; and
cessation.

The preliminary scientific evaluation, along with other relevant scientific information on the topic of menthol, is included in the docket for the ANPRM to give all interested parties an opportunity to comment on these materials. The ANPRM will be available for public comment for 60 days.

Modified Risk Tobacco Products (MRTPs)

Modified risk tobacco products are tobacco products that are sold, distributed, or marketed with a claim to reduce harm or the risk of tobacco-related disease.
The Tobacco Control Act establishes rigorous scientific criteria an applicant’s tobacco product must meet before FDA can allow the applicant to sell that product with a claim to reduce harm.

The draft guidance for MRTPs provides details for those who seek to market a tobacco product as modified or lower risk including how to organize and submit an MRTP application, what scientific studies and analyses should be submitted, and what information should be collected through post-market surveillance and studies.

Mercury Fishes And Its Facts

2013-10-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

The Facts

Fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish and shellfish contain high-quality protein and other essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat, and contain omega-3 fatty acids. A well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fish and shellfish can contribute to heart health and children's proper growth and development. So, women and young children in particular should include fish or shellfish in their diets due to the many nutritional benefits.

However, nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury. For most people, the risk from mercury by eating fish and shellfish is not a health concern. Yet, some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child's developing nervous system. The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in the fish and shellfish. Therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are advising women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to avoid some types of fish and eat fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.

Safety Tips

By following these 3 recommendations for selecting and eating fish or shellfish, women and young children will receive the benefits of eating fish and shellfish and be confident that they have reduced their exposure to the harmful effects of mercury.

Do not eat
- Swordfish
- King Mackerel
- Shark
- Tile-fish
They contain high levels of mercury.
Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
- Five of the most commonly eaten fish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish.
- Another commonly eaten fish, albacore ("white") tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. So, when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) of albacore tuna per week.
Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in your local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas.
If no advice is available, eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week of fish you catch from local waters, but don't consume any other fish during that week.

Follow these same recommendations when feeding fish and shellfish to your young child, but serve smaller portions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mercury in Fish and Shellfish:

Note:
If you have questions or think you've been exposed to large amounts of methylmercury, see your doctor or health care provider immediately.

What is mercury and methylmercury?
Mercury occurs naturally in the environment and can also be released into the air through industrial pollution. Mercury falls from the air and can accumulate in streams and oceans and is turned into methyl-mercury in the water. It is this type of mercury that can be harmful to your unborn baby and young child. Fish absorb the methyl-mercury as they feed in these waters and so it builds up in them. It builds up more in some types of fish and shellfish than others, depending on what the fish eat, which is why the levels vary.
I'm a woman who could have children but I'm not pregnant - so why should I be concerned about methyl-mercury?
If you regularly eat types of fish that are high in methyl-mercury, it can accumulate in your blood stream over time. Methyl-mercury is removed from the body naturally, but it may take over a year for the levels to drop significantly. Thus, it may be present in a woman even before she becomes pregnant. This is the reason why women who are trying to become pregnant should also avoid eating certain types of fish.
Is there methyl-mercury in all fish and shellfish?
Nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of methyl-mercury. However, larger fish that have lived longer have the highest levels of methyl-mercury because they've had more time to accumulate it. These large fish (swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tile-fish) pose the greatest risk. Other types of fish and shellfish may be eaten in the amounts recommended by FDA and EPA.
I don't see the fish I eat in the advisory. What should I do?
If you want more information about the levels in the various types of fish you eat, see the FDA food safety website or the EPA website at www.epa.gov/ost/fish.
What about fish sticks and fast food sandwiches?
Fish sticks and "fast-food" sandwiches are commonly made from fish that are low in mercury.
The advice about canned tuna is in the advisory, but what's the advice about tuna steaks?
Because tuna steak generally contains higher levels of mercury than canned light tuna, when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) of tuna steak per week.
What if I eat more than the recommended amount of fish and shellfish in a week?
One week's consumption of fish does not change the level of methyl-mercury in the body much at all. If you eat a lot of fish one week, you can cut back for the next week or two. Just make sure you average the recommended amount per week.
Where do I get information about the safety of fish caught recreational by family or friends?
Before you go fishing, check your Fishing Regulations Booklet for information about recreational caught fish. You can also contact your local health department for information about local advisories.
You need to check local advisories because some kinds of fish and shellfish caught in your local waters may have higher or much lower than average levels of mercury. This depends on the levels of mercury in the water in which the fish are caught. Those fish with much lower levels may be eaten more frequently and in larger amounts.

Oh Rocket… Please Save Nigerian Internet From Itself

2013-09-26T10:21:00.000-07:00

Dear Rocket Internet,
I have followed your interest in Africa (especially my home country Nigeria) initially with some amusement, which rapidly evolved, into concern and trepidation, now with resignation. You have come to stay and we must deal with you even if we do not like to do so.

I read the article on your recent foray into the online business in Nigeria and a certain quote by your founder caught my attention, “I don’t build boats, I build aircraft carriers,”

We, in Africa and especially Nigeria, are no strangers to boats from Europe and as a Benin Man who remembers the British punitive expedition that led to the great Benin Massacre in 1897, we also know the difference between merchant ships, slave ships and war boats. Aircraft carriers are a different breed as their presence on our coasts can only mean one thing – war.

We do not understand why you would want to be at war with us as we are not the enemy. We expected you to come like the missionaries with the guise of evangelize before springing the surprise of colonization and amalgamation upon us. We shall pretend we did not hear that quote and will pretend that you are here bringing good tidings like missionaries or ready to trade like the merchants.

Just as the missionaries built hospitals and churches, merchants built roads and infrastructure that probably are still the only civil infrastructure present in many parts of Africa today, we invite you to also help us build our Internet infrastructure. The colonial-era infrastructure not only helped trade and evangelize, it became the foundation for modern infrastructure we all benefit from till today.
In Nigeria we claim to have 40 million people on the Internet but figures from Facebook and other sources make that doubtful. What is however not in question is the need for better Internet.

Mainone Cable and others have accomplished the difficult task of bringing submarine cables and wholesale Internet (to the same shores where you have landed) but the last-mile seems to be a very difficult hurdle to cross.

Eric Schmidt of Google already knows about this problem, as Google is supposed to be very “bullish” on Nigeria’s prospects.Yes this business does not fit your normal business model but indulge us a bit. All your businesses in Nigeria and Africa depend on Internet ubiquity and we know that you came to Nigeria first before Kenya and others because of the sheer numbers.

While we may have the population and Internet usage growth figures are mind blowing, really stupendous growth will be seen when we start measuring bandwidth in “Mega” rather than “Kilo” units. This can only help your numerous businesses to grow. The real “Boom Time” is still far away.
We need to be able to use smart phones and devices capable of accessing richer content as feature phones will not help your business. If you need help in getting into the last mile business, just ask Millicom to buy out an existing ISP and also use that as a beachhead into Nigeria’s telecoms space.

Current Nigerian ISPs are fat and lazy, they have not innovated since the ISP revolution was launched by Infoweb and Linkserve almost two decades ago. They deserve to be disrupted. The existing telcos are also not your foes, they are your friends as they will only benefit from more data usage all round. Whatsapp bundles alone will not save them.
Once again, we are all part of an ecosystem that needs to evolve and we are not enemies. We implore you to beat your swords into plough shares to till the land and yield a bountiful harvest or in your case convert your “aircraft carriers” to fishing trawlers. There is enough for all of us if we can see beyond the myopia of tech blogs.

comments please!

How to Maximize Your Blogs/Websites Business With Traffics

2013-09-23T07:30:00.000-07:00

Your business blog is probably the single most important tool you can use to gain added traffic to your business and/or your business website. Whether your business blog is part of your website or a separate entity, it is important to know how to focus your blog to help drive customers to it which, in turn, ultimately drives customers to your business.

A focused blog is one that has a specific purpose. Your blog must be focused on driving traffic as well as sales to your main site. Talk about how your business has helped others, and a little about the brick and mortar location of your business.

Don’t mistake your business blog for your personal blog, you should not be too personal in the former. Never mention anything that could put you and your business in a bad light. Blog only about details that your target market will enjoy.

Mention promotions, duration of your inventory sales and whatever else that your customers would love to know about. If your blog is your main website, make sure you have a separate page where they can place their orders.

Details of the services you offer are another great way to focus your blog. Use your blog to talk about new developments, like opening of new branches, new listings, updates on marketing campaigns and others. Use your blog to inform people about the end of a promo.

You can write a single blog post about a specific product by talking about how your product can help them, whether it’s for personal use or business. In fact, I recommend reviewing all your products so that you can attract those who are just curious about your business without any previous intention of buying. The more you inform your readers about your products and services, the more they will be interested.

Another very important aspect of a focused business blog is to let your readers and customers know you are there for them. Communication is essential for business to attract customers. As you continue to build your blog, you will be building your business as well. By having a focused business blog and using specific key words in your titles and posts, you will soon be driving the traffic you want to your business blog, which in turn will drive them directly to your business!

Money Blogging For Life

2013-09-23T07:24:00.001-07:00

Blogging is an increasingly a common activity but most bloggers do not realize they can make money blogging. Blogging began as a way to express opinions and to journal one’s activities. Those are still the main reasons for writing a blog but there is no reason why a hobby cannot be a way to supplement income as well.

When a writer delivers articles that people enjoy reading and sharing with others that writer can leverage that talent into cash income. The subject of the blog or the articles is not important provided there is enough interest to produce a following.

A blogger with a significant number of followers can earn income from several sources. Advertisers will pay for sidebar or banner ads on blog pages with enough regular visitors. Other advertisers will pay for clicks on the links they place on the blogger’s pages.

Some advertisers will pay the blogger for clicks on links included on the blog page. A blogger can also make money from sales of products and services by including links to his/her retail sales sites.
There is more to making money with a blog than just posting a couple of interesting articles and cashing the checks that roll in.

Using a blog to make money online requires letting people know the blog exists and that the content on the blog is worth a visit. First visitors must come to the site, and then they should be enticed to join the list of followers or click on the paying links on the blog pages (known as conversion in online business parlance).

Search engines are no longer the most effective way to get visits to a site or blog page. The process of optimizing a site’s placement in search results has become a complex chore best handled by specialized organizations. The average blogger will not have the resources to hire an SEO service to bring in visitors from search engines. There are other ways to make a blog known to larger numbers.

The most effective, virtually free, way to promote a blog and to increase visitors is the social networking approach. Cross-promotion among the various social networks and the blogger’s sites can turn into a real home income opportunity.

If a writer can produce compelling articles for a blog he or she should have no problem creating some intriguing updates for social sites that make people want to read the blog. A couple hours a day keeping social networking pages populated with links to a blog page can pay off with a nice supplemental income.

7 Lies Of Network Marketing Exposed

2013-09-23T07:05:00.000-07:00

Here is my 7 Lies Of Network Marketing exposed to let you know exactly what I think about Ann Sieg’s controversial free report. It has stirred up some hot responses across the MLM world, especially among those who are dissatisfied with their network marketing business.

Hands up if you are struggling with your MLM business? – You are not alone! Look at these startling statistics:
- Up to 90% of distributors will quit their business within the first 3 months of starting, usually because they are finding it too hard and expensive.
- Over 95% will give up within the first 12 months.
- Even more disturbing, up to 80% of distributors never even experience the excitement of sponsoring their first recruit.

If you are in network marketing or MLM and are worried by these statistics then you are right to feel that way and you should definitely pick up a copy of The 7 Lies Of Network Marketing free. Here Ann Sieg has put into writing what many experienced network marketers have been afraid to say. She exposes all of the untruths that many of us have been told (and are telling our downlines) about growing a network marketing business.

When I first saw the title ‘The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing’ I admit that I thought it would be just another MLM basher. But after reading the report, you will find it is not that at all. After telling you what are the ‘lies’ that you should disregard, Ann Sieg goes into how you can actually be successful in network marketing – while ignoring the myths that you have probably been taught.

MLM is a great vehicle for achieving financial success and independence yet as I said above, the vast majority do not even get out of the starting blocks. Why? Because they are still being taught methods that went out of date 5 or 10 years ago.

Everybody is your prospect … you don’t have to do any selling … anyone can do this … your business will be built for you … Read this report and see these myths exploded. In their place, find out how you really can become one of the 5% who succeed with network marketing.
Now that you have read this 7 Lies Of Network Marketing review, it’s time to take action! Pick up your copy of The 7 Lies Of Network Marketing free here.

SEO Keywords Research: How To Get The Right Keywords

2013-09-23T06:59:00.000-07:00

How do you go about doing your seo keyword research? Do you have your own system or set of steps that you follow? Let me share with you my own tried and tested keyword research and may it help you with optimizing your own website.

One of the initial steps that I do, and I also suggest that you follow, is to completely evaluate is with what topic does my website deal with. While you might say that this is quite an easy thing to do, in reality it is not.

A lot of people do not start their research with this step because one, they believe they already know their website or online business inside and out, or two, because their site deals with a wide range of topics that you can’t nail it down to a single one.

If you ask me, the last one is the worst of all because it is harder to rank a website if it deals with a cornucopia of categories or topics. Sure it is possible to rank them at least through the individual pages, but this will be hard work and will consume much of your time. Compare that with focusing on just one theme or topic for all your seo efforts.

The next thing that I do is to use a keyword research tool, which in my case I usually make use of the free keyword tool from Google. You can use other tools, even the proprietary ones. It is all up to your preference and in my opinion, there is no single authority tool when it comes to keyword research.

If you are just starting out and your budget is limited, using the free tools is more than decent enough to help you with your research. I often begin my research by using broad terms and based from the results that the tool gives me, I would select the long tail keywords. That is because it is easier to rank for these keywords as the broad terms are often too competitive to get into.

I’m not sure about you but I only look at the monthly search volume in selecting my keywords. I select those with a good amount of searches, let’s say just a few thousands, and see if there are a lot of competitions for that keyword. If the search results gave just a few sites, then I save that keyword, marking it as a potential keyword.

Now if I am doing my search engine optimizing for just one website, I make sure that there is only one theme or topic for it. I also apply that thought to my keyword research as it will be the main factor in my site’s optimization. With just one theme, your seo campaign will be laser-focused and it will be easier for Google and the other search engines to rank your website properly.

How many keywords can be considered enough? It depends on the number of web pages contained in your website. I often use just one or two keywords per page and that all of these keywords are related to just one topic or theme to maintain the consistency.

These are just some of the tips that you can follow for your keyword research for seo. It is a safe and effective process that can help you quickly collect the right keywords for your website. Just always remember to work within just one theme and your seo campaign will be all sound and good.

9 Best Ways To Make Fast Money Online

2013-09-23T06:47:00.001-07:00

There are a huge number of ways to make fast money online when you get into the details – as many different ways as there are people doing it. The trick is to pick one that you think you can handle, and get it making money for you before you try to add more.

Most people make the mistake of flitting from one to another or starting too many at once.So here’s my top 9, with the easiest IMO first.

The first four do not require a website and will bring you money faster than the others, but they will not go on earning for you after you stop working (except perhaps #3).

The quickest is #3 which can have money in your PayPal account within minutes. You should start getting paid for all of the rest except #5 – #7 within a week. With #5 – #7 you should be earning very quickly but will have to wait longer for payment to arrive.

So here are the methods:

#1 – Scour the house for stuff you don’t need and sell it on eBay
A great way to start with online money making, if only because it will force you to open a PayPal account. It’s kind of cheating though because it’s not really profit, and most people already did it. So if you already did it, move on to #2. If not:

Tip 1: find out how much packaging and shipping will cost before you list an item.
Tip 2: start your eBay auctions at the lowest possible price – more bidders will get involved earlier and the result is more money for you.
Tip 3: having auctions end around 12 noon Monday through Thursday works best for me.

#2 – Write articles for Associated Content
You must be over 18 and a legal US resident. You get upfront payments for most articles plus a performance payment based on page views. Look at the ‘calls for content’ to see what they want, you are more likely to be paid upfront for those. Check out the FAQ on the site. Non-US residents only get the performance payment and it’s not much. Bum marketing (#4) will pay you better if you are not American.

#3 – Promote $7 Script Ebooks
Very simple. Requires a PayPal account but no website. Go to $7 Offers and look for something that you think will sell well. It should address an urgent need or desire that people are willing to spend money for (e.g. make money, cure annoying health problem, lose weight, etc.). It will be easier to promote if you know something about the subject.

Click on the ebook that you found to get its home page address. The site owner’s contact details should be at the foot of the page. Email them to ask for your affiliate link. Then promote in forums and free advertising sites.
You will get 100% of the sale price direct into your PayPal account. The site owner makes money from the upsell (selling the buyers other things afterward). See On Demand Profits for details of this method.

#4 – Sell your services on Elance or Rentacoder
Your services could be article writing, graphic design, website coding, or grunt work such as submitting sites to directories. Check out what people are looking to hire for, and put in your bids. If you live in a country with a high cost of living (North America, Europe, Australia etc) be prepared to face competition from people who can afford to work for much less.

#5 – ‘Bum marketing’
Requires good English and a basic website or blog but no PayPal account. First, sign up as an affiliate with Clickbank and search their marketplace for an ebook with the same criteria as in #3.

Look for ebooks that are selling well on Clickbank with low refund rates and have well-written sales letters that make you want to buy. Write a review of it on your website or blog. Then write articles related to the subject and submit them to Ezinearticles.com and other article directories with a link in the resource box to your site. You can find out more about this technique for free here: Bum

Marketing Method
Clickbank pay weekly by US$ check or bank transfer depending on your earnings and will pay to most countries. Check their site for terms and restrictions.

#6 – Build a list and sell recommended products
As for #5 but you have an opt-in form on your website so you get more chances to sell to your visitors. Requires an autoresponder e.g. AWeber.

Write a newsletter i.e. 6 – 10 emails with useful information that you feed into your autoresponder account. It’s best to promote at least 2 ebooks in your niche (not both in the same email) e.g. if your subject is dogs, then one on dog training and one on health for dogs.

To increase opt-ins you can also offer a short free report to entice people to sign up to the list. Put links to the ebooks in the free report too.

Next promote your one-page website. Use the same promotion tactics as in #3 and #5. Look for information online about other affiliate marketing promotion methods including Web 2.0.

#7 – Buy a turnkey website with Adsense and affiliate feeds
A lot of people waste money buying sites that never see a single visitor but you can make money if you go about this right. The important things are (1) pick a good niche that addresses a specific urgent need or wish as in #3, (2) start with only one site and (3) understand that you must make the site unique and spend time promoting it.

It is best if the seller has done some keyword research and set it up with plenty of keyword-optimized articles plus good Adsense placement and affiliate products (e.g. Clickbank/Amazon/eBay feeds). You can also target your site to sell affiliate products from Commission Junction, Linkshare, etc. You will need to know basic html or be willing to learn but your English is not so important as for the other methods.

Look for turnkey sites for sale on Sitepoint, Digital Point or join something like Niches-In-A-Box. When you have your site, unless the content is unique, change the titles of all of the articles (without messing with the keyword), rewrite the first sentence and change a few words in the rest of each article. Then go ahead and promote using all the methods you can find on this blog and more. If you buy through Niches-In-A-Box they will teach you a lot of promotion methods. Use them all. Then add more pages to the site.

#8 – Sell your own ebooks
You don’t have to write these from scratch, you can either buy PLR ebooks and rewrite them (see Cash Avalanche for details of this method) or outsource. You can also sell resale rights products. Again pick a good subject and then look for/write the ebook, not vice versa. You will need a website to sell from.

Promote.
You will make more money if you can get affiliates selling for you by putting your product into Clickbank, Pay Dot Com or $7 Offers (you need the $7 Script for the last one and also, of course, an upsell, because affiliates get 100% of the upfront sale). Approach people who have websites in your niche and ask them to promote it (these are called JV partners – like affiliates, but it sounds better).

#9 – Sell turnkey websites
Easier than you think because you don’t have to design them. You can use templates and content from PLR sites like Easy Market Profits – check the terms, some sites will not let you resell, you should email the site owner to ask. Again choose good niches. Buy a relevant domain, set the site up on reseller hosting and offer it for sale on Sitepoint or Digital Point with an option of continuing hosting with you at $5 a month per site by PayPal subscription.

You can charge more if you make all of the articles unique before selling. People will check so the articles need to be completely rewritten – you are not just doing it for Google this time. You can also, of course, charge a lot more if you promote the site and have it earning good revenue – but then you might not want to sell it!

There are some even better ways which can make you more money in the longer term but don’t fit the heading of ways to make fast money online. These include network marketing (MLM) as a form of affiliate marketing and building your own sites for Adsense and affiliate commissions instead of buying turnkey sites.

“Google reported revenues of $3.66 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2007″

Google Ad-sense is revolutionizing the web, high school kids are making fortunes per month with Ad-sense paying their classes and helping their fathers paying the bills at home.
Lawyers and doctors gaved up their practices to make millions with Google.

Thanks to Google Adsense revenues the internet is growing quicker day by day, while Google is paying the bills webmasters make more quality websites with free content and utilities for everyone, websites that you look for when your cash flow is fading.

When you utilize Ad-words to promote your products you are sponsoring and brought to life a new star rising website that can be a must value to the web.

That’s why Google Adsense/Adwords programs are so great, as everybody wins advertisers pay per click and make sales using Adwords, clicks and impressions are made by the Adsense publishers that receive compensation, it’s a rollercoster that never stops so therefore it is unbeatable.
It’s called “revenue sharing” and it’s the most powerfull internet marketing tool you will ever find!

Thousands of folks daily discover Adsense and start making money at home with their websites, they share the secret with others and when others make cash everyone makes money, that’s why I had the trouble to write and distribute this little article, to spread the good news and of course make my own fortune.
If you have a website and are looking for a serious income this is the great opportunity for you to grab, Adsense is the best money making program circulating on the web, one of the most well paid if not the number 1 and best of all it is real!

Join Google Adsense at no cost and retire from your job in months, use Google Adwords to rise up your business and become a millionaire in the next year. Let me show you the headline 1.000.000 in 6 months:
Besides the Adsense earnings and the Adwords traffic that you can make you can also make big wealth referring others to the Adwords and Adsense programs, when they use the programs you get paid, well paid.

This is how the programs work, by own Google words: “When an advertiser who signed up for Google AdWords through your referral spends $5.00 (in addition to the $5.00 sign-up fee) within 90 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5.00. When that same advertiser spends $100.00 within 90 days of sign-up, you will be credited with an extra $40.00. If, in any 180-day period, you refer 20 advertisers who each spend more than $100.00 within 90 days of their respective sign-ups, you will be awarded a $600.00 bonus.”

“When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral earns $5.00 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5.00. When that same publisher earns $100.00 within 180 days of sign-up and is suitable for payout, you will be credited with an extra $250.00. If, in any 180 day period, you refer 25 publishers who each get more than $100.00 and are all appropriate for payout, you will be awarded a $2,000.00 bonus.”

Do I need to say anything else to convince you to sign up? I Don’t think so.
Just do the math and you will find out the potential of your income, if you already understand the programs you know what I’m talking about and have a better perspective, if you don’t I tell you this, you can look but i guarantee that does not exist nothing else like it.

And don’t be troubled, take it easy, take your time, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know any of this, the only matter is that you have a site and want to make cash with it, in the process you will discover how everything works and how to succeed in your goals.
That’s for this and many other reasons that Google is and will be the internet’s number 1 for many years to come!

The Expert Guide to Pay Per Click Marketing

2013-09-23T03:27:00.001-07:00

Whether You're Looking To Save Some Money On Casual Reading On You're Searching For Instant Content, Perfect For Articles, Auto-Responders, Newsletters, Affiliate Resources, Guides Or Mini-Reports, You're A Web Developer Looking To Deck Out Your Website You're An Internet Entrepreneur Preparing To Start Your Own Home Business, Private Label Rights Are An Incredible Resource And One Of The Best Types Of Products You Can Buy.' It's Affordable, Easily Accessible And Flexible.

If you're not familiar with how PLR (Private Label Rights) works, it is essentially a way for multiple people to "share" pre-written content with each other. Since they are all given access to use or change the content, they pay significantly less. It is basically buying the rights to a product and claiming it to be your own legally!

Venturing into PLR, is one of the most proliferating businesses online. It presents the opportunity for you to take another person's work, change it anyway you please and call the edited material yours. Then make profit from that work and not be liable for any copyright infringement!

Making money in your sleep is no longer an unrealistic goal. Anyone, and I do mean anyone, can do this.

It presents the opportunity for you to own beneficial products WITHOUT creating them yourself not only to sell, but also to do whatever it is needed to suit the needs of the target market.

You can actually get these products, put your name on them as the author, and sell them as your own! You don't have to do any of the work of creating the product and you get all the glory and profits for yourself!

Alternatively, you can divide the PLR content up, add to it, combine it with other content, create an audio product from it, the sky's the limit! The more creative you are, the more unique your resulting product will be. If it sounds too good to be true, it almost is!

I know it's hard to believe, if you aren't familiar with PLR, but all of the above are true if you are able to secure these rights. PLR content truly is a great way to get the content you need for your business. It saves time - instant content without spending hours researching; it's cost efficient and generally well written by experts.

You don't have to be a writer. And you certainly don't need to subject yourself to paying freelance pickpockets ready to suck you of all you're worth. A 'single' ebook ghostwritten by a freelancer, for example, can range from $200 to as high as $1,000.

Purchasing private label products from ebookstorebooks.com is more economical than hiring an expensive ghostwriter. You get the FULL OWNERSHIP of books that someone else hired to write it... Someone else, who is an expert or reasonably knowledgeable in the niche, has done the brainstorming for you, they've done research for you, they've identified a target markets, they've done the keyword research, and they've created material to satisfy a real market need.

And you can legally pick up the rights to a large collection of products today that are ready-to-sell for only pennies on the dollar... and you can do whatever you want with them! (Notice that I didn't say "almost anything"?) You're Getting Premium Ebooks at A HUGE discount over what you would pay someone to create one for you!

You can turn other peoples hard work into your own work with very little effort developing new and unique content that no one else has, to make money from the original ones that they purchased - all thanks to the abundance of Private Label Content that are now being produced and made available in the Internet marketplace.

E-books, software, articles and other written, raw materials are just some examples of products where you can obtain Private Label Rights.

To understand why Private Label Rights are so special, you need to know about resell and master resell rights first.

PLR PRIVATE LABEL RIGHTS JARGON

There is three "basic rights" that are embodied in the concept of resell rights marketing.

Among the three, Resell/Resale rights are considered least valuable. Resell rights are simply specific permissions granted from you as the owner of a work (a book, for example) to allow your customers to take your product and distribute it for their own profit. They can only resell the product, in conjunction with the terms and conditions set forth in the license, as is. They cannot change it in any way or put their name on it as the author and cannot giveaway or sell resell rights. All copyrights must remain intact with the product upon resale.

Master resell/resale rights take it a step further and allow your customers to resell the product as it is, without changing it's form, design or name, as well as selling the resell rights to allow those whom they sell your product to receive the same rights!

With standard private label rights, you are granted permission to change another person's work. By altering the material, you have made the work your own which then allows you to profit from the material anyway you intend to.

Standard Private Label Rights are similar to unrestricted in that you can tweak, add content and market the the products as your own. However, each PLR service includes their own unique rules and usually have some limitations such as:

can't sell or give PLR rights to others to do the same.

or you can only sell above a certain price.

or cannot give the product away for free.

Some licenses have very strict guidelines about what percent of your product must be changed before you can stick your name on it as the author, while others don't define it.

and much more...

Re-branding rights only allows for the affiliate links in the work to be changed.

(Always read the product licence carefully with any PLR you buy, so you understand exactly how you can modify your product and resell it, as they can vary significantly.)

Unrestricted Private Label Rights are considered the most flexible of all rights and therefore the most money making and rewarding. When you buy No Restriction Private Label Rights to a particular product, you get full ownership and the freedom to do whatever you want, at least in most cases, with the stuff. You can modify or change an original product, create your own specifications, apply modifications then claim it as your own original product.

This is the beauty of unrestricted plr you can literally do whatever you choose to do with them including giving them away.

Note: The most annoying part of private label rights is the licence Even though "unrestricted" is a pretty clear term, some product creators still slip minor restrictions into their licenses. Therefore, each time you do purchase a PLR product, be sure to read the license carefully to make sure the product really is unrestricted.

At ebookstorebooks.com you are on to a winner as all ebooks come with zero restrictions which means you can do anything you want to with them as long as it's legal.

I could go on and on explaining all the different reasons why this plr ebooks package is absolutely amazing. But you don't have to take my word for it, why don't you take a look at everything you are about to get and judge for yourself…

THE GREAT EXPECTATIONS

2013-09-23T02:36:00.000-07:00

The novel centers around a poor young man by the name of Pip, who is given the chance to make himself a gentleman by a mysterious benefactor. Great Expectations offers a fascinating view of the differences between classes during the Victorian era, as well as a great sense of comedy and pathos.

The novel opens in an exciting vein. Pip is a young orphan who lives with his sister and her husband (Joe). When he is still a young boy, news arrives that a man has escaped from the local prison. Then, one day when he is crossing the moors near his house, Pip comes across the convict in hiding (Magwitch). Upon threat of his life, Pip brings food and tools to Magwitch, until Magwitch is recaptured.

Pip continues to grow up, and one day is taken by an uncle to play at a rich woman’s house. This woman is the fabulous Miss Haversham who had been hurt terribly when she had been left at the altar and, though she is an old woman, still wears a tatty old wedding dress. Pip almost meets a young girl who, though she kisses him, treats him with contempt. Pip, despite the girl's cold treatment of him, falls in love with her and desperately wants to be a man of means so that he might be worthy to marry her.

Then, Jaggers (a lawyer) arrives to tell him that a mysterious benefactor has offered to pay for Pip to be made into a gentleman. Pip goes to London, and soon is considered a man of great possibilities (and is therefore embarrassed by his roots and his former relations).

A Young Gentleman: Great Expectations

Pip lives a young swell's life--enjoying his youth. He comes to believe that it was Miss Haversham who is providing him with the money--to prepare him for marrying Estella. But then, Magwitch barges into his room, revealing that he is mysterious benefactor (he escaped from prison and went to Australia, where he made a fortune).

Now, Magwitch is back in London, and Pip helps him to escape once again. In the meantime, Pip helps Miss Haversham comes to terms with the loss of her husband (she is caught up in a fire and eventually dies). Estella marries a country bumpkin with money (even though there is no love in the relationship, and he will treat her with cruelty).

Despite Pip's best efforts--Magwitch is once more caught; and Pip can no longer live as a young gentleman. He and his friend leave the country and make their money by hard work. In the final chapter (one that Dickens rewrote), Pip returns to England and meets Estella in a graveyard. Her husband had died, and the book hints at a happy future for the two of them.

Class, Money & Corruption: Great Expectations

Great Expectations depicts the differences between the classes, and how money can corrupt. The novel makes clear that money cannot buy love, nor does it guarantee happiness. One of the happiest--and most morally correct--people in the novel is Joe, Pip's sister's husband. And, Miss Haversham is one of the richest (as well as the most unhappy and loneliest).

Pip believes that if he can be a gentleman, he will have everything he wants from the world. His world collapses and he realizes that all his money has been based on Magwitch's dishonest earnings. And, Pip finally understands the true value of life.

Great Expectations features some of Dickens's greatest characters and one of his trademark convoluted plots. The novel is a fantastic read, and a wonderful morality tale. Full of romance, courageousness and hope--Great Expectations is a brilliant evocation of a time and place. Here's a view of the English class system that is both critical and realistic.
