Are you actively looking for a cost-effective and efficient way to boost your response rate and sales,for your Online Business?

A recent research shows that you can dramatically cut your Internet Marketing costs by simply
adding targeted Audio and Video content to your advertising materials.


Many of us tip toe around these two tools as it does take some knowledge to use them. True there is software out there to help but if one is on a strict budget and cannot afford it then a decision must be made to over extend or cut some place else or learn to do it yourself,in order to start making and using audio-video and it can be successful and fun to do.

Do you feel that your marketing efforts do not bring expected results? Are you
actively looking for new, fresh and effective ways to advertise your products and services? Audio-Video may be the means you want to pursue.

We also must be able to search what is real and hype, so do yours well, and discover that audio and video marketing can be both: cost effective and profitable.

Home Business Ways and Means ?



Ways To Start An Online Business:

Having your own business and being able to be in charge of your financial situation is very important. Many people are looking for ways to start an online business and earn some money from home. For some, the intention is to just earn some extra cash while for others it is to actually earn a living with an online business.

Do you have in mind what you would like to do or is there a knowledge base already you can draw from? There are various ways or 'business models' which you can use to earn money online.

1. Affiliates.

This is the easiest and most common ways of earning money online. With affiliate programs, your cost for starting your business is very low, and you also get the necessary support and marketing tools, which makes it very easy for you to get started and succeed. With an affiliate program, you will be marketing a merchant's products or services and all you have to do is to refer potential customers to the merchant's website or your website. If you make a sale, you get paid commission.This part requires mostly time and some funds you choose there and a lot of learning.

2. Creating informational products such as e-books.

Anyone is an 'expert' about something, and hence can write a book about anything! I am not that person but I am learning.This can be based on your interests or hobbies or about your skills. All you have to do first is to determine that there will be demand for your book and you then create your own book and sell it online. The book does not have to be a huge book - it can be a simple guide on any topic.

3. Resell Rights.

In this case, you do not have to create your own product, and you just market someone else's. This makes it a very easy option for making money online. All you have to do is to get the resale rights on the product, edit it as you wish and market it. The products with resale rights cover a wide range of topics, so you will be able to find something that you will enjoy promoting.Here again I am still learning how to do this and I am not one that picks up on instructions the firsat time around.

4. Interviews are also another way of creating products that you can sell online.

You can interview an expert on a specific topic and area, so that the interview will have valuable information that people will want to listen to. All you have to do is to present the interview as a written transcript or an audio transcript. You will need to place a private label on the written/audio transcript and then start to sell it.Here, if you are just starting out will need to establish a relationship to be able to have an interview.

5. Creating small special reports:

Is yet another way of making money online. A special report is a mini-book or how-to book. This can be 5-10 pages in length. You can sell these books or you can use them as viral tools to promote your affiliate links which will then help to increase your affiliate checks. The special reports will be focused some selected niches.

6. Writing:

Is another way though which you can make money online. As long as the internet exists, there will always be a demand for content. So if you enjoy writing, you can offer your services as a freelancer and you can earn some money. You can also write private label articles and books which people will buy from you for further editing and then publish them as their own.Writing articles is an excellent way to advertise your business,or what ever it is you are selling or you might give away an eBook.

WritingCourse

How Much Is Too Much?Our Economy Or War?



Hello,

Today I shall diviate from my usual blogging to express some concerns and I do hope each of you have the same concerns, for the future of this [ Our} country.

As of today, we've spent over $495 billion in Iraq.

1. With the economy in the tank, think about what that money could do here at home: Cover millions of kids who don't have insurance, or help folks who're losing their jobs and homes.

Instead, it's supporting a failed occupation in Iraq.

More and more Americans are making the connection between the billions we've spent over there and the crumbling economy here at home. In fact, a new AP poll shows that most Americans think ending the war is the best way to help the economy.

2. But pundits still talk about the war and the economy as two unrelated things.

We need to make sure that politicians and pundits understand what voters already know: As long as we keep pouring that money down the drain in Iraq, we won't have the money we need to solve our economic woes.

Have you considered writing to your local newspaper editor and express your concerns on what the public needs to know,about how much we're spending in Iraq, while things go south here at home? By speaking out together, we can make sure the cost of war is part of the economic equation. Our tool makes writing a letter easy. Click here to get started:

Letter

If thousands of us write, we can get the media to stop ignoring the connection between the war and the recession. The opinion pages are the most widely read pages in the newspaper, so we can also make sure voters—who are growing increasingly concerned about the economy—know that any candidate who wants to stay in Iraq has no plan for the economy.

The ongoing occupation in Iraq is sucking up the resources we need to make our economy work again. The tradeoffs are stark: Bombs or unemployment insurance for people laid off as the economy slows? Billions for Halliburton and Blackwater, or help for people on the verge of losing their homes because of the subprime meltdown? Consider these key facts:

The recession is going to force states to cut back their budgets. Most likely, the cuts are going to affect the services that working families need and depend on.

3. Meanwhile,the war is costing Americans more than $338 million a day.

4. That money could be spent to help out the folks who're hurting most now. For less than what we're spending on the war, we could pay for affordable housing for hundreds of thousands of families,{The units FEMA provided for Katrina Victims are now known to be unsfafe and taxpayers paid millions for those, have we gone mad.} health care for children, or scholarships to help folks pay for education.

5.Gas prices are close to double what they were before the war began. The cost of oil is still hovering around $100 barrel.Is this what the american people want?

6.We're borrowing $343 million every day to finance the war in Iraq.

7. Our skyrocketing debt will be a bigger and bigger drag on the economy—slowing recovery and burdening future generations.

The truth is that economic forecasts are going to continue to be grim as long as we continue to dump billions into a reckless war that has no end in sight. Please write a letter to the editor of your local paper today:

Letter

A program two nights ago was about the economy and that Americans will need to face the fact that Social Security and Medi-care are a large part of it,If the IOU's Our politicians are ok'ng to be put into the SS fund were stopped we could have what is needed but this borrowing is insane. Our politicians are taking our SS fund and using it now and we only have those IOU's and no money.



Thanks to everyone,

Margie

Can You Write Poetry My Friend Can Read and Vote




Hello,

Today is help thy friend DAY...

Not sure if this will be the best blog but my friend writes poetry and also hold down a 9-5 job, you know how that goes.He writes and I have read some of them and he has not had any published yet but I am encouraging him to do so as they are good for the novice and let all you out there that do not like to write your own articles ,ads, etc. and let you know what he can do.

Any way he has a poem he just did and it is on the url I have given and I would love for anyone to go and read and give a vote,also it may give him that extra push to follow one of his dreams


This is some additional info. I recieved and it makes the poem take a life of it's own.He was a lad of 18 and is now nearing retirement age../

I wrote the poem aboard the SS Bengal mail, an old rusty freighter. I was sailing in the capasity of an Ordinary Seaman deck hand.We had just survived an incounter with Typhoon Alice off the coast ov China. I was 18 years old and sailing on a 9 month jungle run to over 17 countries. I gave a copy of the poem to old captain Benson, and he put it up on his cabin wall. From then on he treated me like his own son, took me under his wing, taught me much about growing up, and I could do no wrong from then on to the end of the sail.

I made a friend on that trip, he was 17 years old, his name is Moses Thatcher. He was sailing in the capisity of a Wiper in the engine department. He is the master Jeweler who now has the shop "Mountain Gold" in Kawaihi Hawaii that I featured on one of my posts on my blog site.

Did I figure out why I was spared?
I can not count the number of times I have been spared from almost certian death.
I have no idea why, I am just trying to go with the flow.
By the way, My oldest boy is named Aslan after the Lyon in CS Lewis Cronicles of Narnia.
I of course read the books, a wonderfull set. I don't know if you go to the movies, but I saw the Lyon,The Whitch And The Wardrobe that came out last year. I thought It was pretty good. The book #2 of the set, Prince Caspions Sea, is to be released this month. I would like to see it.
