Approaching a joint venture opportunity from this other person's perspective can be a great way to open doors for future joint venture opportunities. Your ability to successfully expose your joint venture partner's product or service to your network makes you a valuable asset to their company. Combine that with word-of-mouth marketing, and you will have other companies coming to you to propose joint venture ideas. So think about providing "the other guy" with a fantastic joint venture experience, knowing that your efforts on the front end will reap great rewards down the road.

Once you've proven yourself in several situations, you may find that more opportunities for larger joint ventures come your way. Successful people tend to create more success. Joint ventures are intended to create marketing synergies that allow monies, ideas, and market share to grow. The more valuable you are in creating a winning joint venture for your partners, the more valuable you'll be when it comes time for future joint ventures. Think about what you can bring to the table and how you can best benefit your joint venture partners.

For instance, one small business owner recognized that there was a product that would do very well in salon, and that the product was not being offered by any other salon in the region. She researched the market and put together a proposal. In her proposal, she showed how she would take the time to introduce the product to the salon's clients, since she was aware that the salon owner had no time to promote additional products.

She then showed how the salon could make anywhere from an additional $300 - $1000 per week, simply by making a strong product introduction and then capitalizing on the reorders. Her role would be to introduce the product, and share in the revenue generated. The salon's job would be to give her access to the customers and then help to promote the re-orders via the internet. The salon owner loved the idea. They started the venture with the understanding that the feedback from the customers would ultimately be the deciding factor. The customers loved the product, the salon owner saw a profit, and the business owner increased her market share and profit. It was a win-win all the way around. Of course, other businesses have now contacted the small business owner about the product and are looking to see if there are other products she might be able to bring to the table on behalf of their businesses.

In the scenario above, the small business owner took the risk of giving time and the initiative of approaching another business owner. She looked to see how it could benefit the other business first. Needless to say, there is a strong on-going relationship between the salon owner and the small businesswoman. Think about the benefit to your potential joint venture partner, put together an operating strategy, and reap the mutual rewards.

There are a lot of scams that you need to be aware of and to avoid. With so many scams, it is hard to know the difference and know which one to choose. So, here I am going to give you a brief review of some legitimate home businesses you can be successful in.

1. Google AdSense

This is the simplest form of income because once you set it up, you never have to worry about it again. You build a simple website, or a blog, add Google AdSense, and you will be paid every time a visitor clicks on the AdSense link. I have websites where I have installed the AdSense code and by doing nothing more than just having the site, I will be paid.

If you want to go this route, and be successful, you need to make a site that will attract a lot of visitors. You will begin by doing some research for keywords that are popular but without a lot of competition. Once you have your website up, you will submit your site to the top on line directories and develop some great one way links. Next, you write articles that relate to your niche and submit them to article directories which will bring your even more traffic to your site. You will then develop top rankings in the search engines. You will want to continue to build up your website with great content, and then rinse and repeat.

2. Create a product

This is a great way to earn a very lucrative income, giving you the leverage you need to find some joint partnerships. You can develop some software, write an Ebook, write some PLR articles and sell them in packages. When you have your own product, you will recruit affiliates to market your products, then you will watch and see your business soar. You will need access to good copy writing skills to produce your sales letters, as this will make or break your sales. You may want to outsource this to an expert so you will high higher sales conversions.

3. Affiliate Marketing

This type of business will require more of your attention and time, but can become very successful for you. You will find a niche that you want to market, one that will have enough products to promote and bring in a good income for you. This again will require some great copy writing skills to encourage your subscribers to buy your product.

So, there are lots of different online home business ideas and opportunities which will provide you with job replacement income. All you have to do is thoroughly check out the opportunity before you spend you time and money on building your business.

1, China's pharmaceutical market

The Chinese pharmaceutical market has shown impressive growth in recent years, in tandem with the country's rapid economic expansion. Pharmaceutical sales in China (excluding Hong Kong) were estimated at US$27.7 billion in 2005, an increase of around 8.5% over the 2004 year. The figure is distorted, however, by the presence of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). The TCM market is estimated at around US$6.9 billion. The size of the market for western-style pharmaceuticals, therefore, can be reckoned at around US$20.8 billion, equal to around US$16 per capita. This makes China one of the largest markets in the world, and second only to Japan in Asia. China is expected to become the fifth largest drug market in the world by 2010. Growth will be driven by factors such as an increasingly ageing population, large market size (urban and rural), government support in restructuring the highly fragmented industry, IPR policies, as well as increasing life expectancy.

2, China's pharmaceutical industry

China has a large domestic pharmaceutical industry, providing 80% of China's pharmaceutical consumption. In 1995, approximately 3,000 domestic state pharmaceutical enterprises produced a total output of $12 billion, of which more than $3 billion was exported, according to the State Pharmaceutical Administration of China (SPAC). The Chinese pharmaceutical industry has increased in value with an annual average growth rate of 16.72% over the last few decades.

However, the industry is still small-scale, with a scattered geographical layout, duplicated production processes, and outdated manufacturing technology and management structure. The Chinese pharmaceutical industry also has a lower market concentration and weak international trading competitiveness, coupled with a lack of patented pharmaceuticals developed in-house. As China joins the World Trade Organization (WTO), it needs to integrate more completely into the global economy. The international competition will place an intense pressure on the Chinese pharmaceutical industry and further open the door to a lucrative market for non-Chinese companies, especially for pharmaceutical producers and manufacturers. Accession to the WTO binds China by fundamental WTO principles, such as improved transparency and the strengthening of commercial legal procedures. China's WTO commitments include the tightening of rules on intellectual property, tariff concessions, and market access of non-Chinese service suppliers engaging in the distribution of pharmaceuticals. All such moves create additional business opportunities for non-Chinese pharmaceutical companies in China, and in turn, place an intense pressure on the Chinese pharmaceutical industry.

So, over the past few years, Chinese pharmaceutical firms have been merging to improve economies of scale, concentrate resources, and increase competitiveness through vertical integration. Many large, state-owned pharmaceutical companies are also transforming their ownership structures into joint ventures or public companies to become more efficient. According to the SPAC, China aims to become the world's leading producer of pharmaceuticals and medical devices and instruments in the first half of this century.

3, China's pharmaceutical foreign trade

In recent years, many Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises take part in the international pharmaceutical market. They not only export patent medicine but also assist their global partners in shortening the cycle and lowering the cost of drug discovery and development by providing cost-effective and efficient outsourcing solutions. Some Chinese pharmaceutical companies even appear in the Nasdaq market successfully, such as WuXi PharmaTech (WX.NYSE) and Simcere Pharmaceutical Group (SCR) etc.

Electronic commerce is introduced to the pharmaceutical enterprises. www.made-in-china.com is one of the most famous B2B website in China. It provides various trade leads including pharmaceutical information among China factory, manufacturers, suppliers, and global buyers.

The pharmaceutical trade shows supply the platform to the leading manufacturers, suppliers and buyers both at home and abroad. Many pharmaceutical companies attend the China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF), China International Oral Care Technology & Equipment Exhibition and Shanghai International Medical Equipment and Furnishment Exhibition (IMEFE) and so on. CMEF is Asia Pacific's biggest exhibition serving the entire value chain for the medical devices market. China International Oral Care Technology & Equipment Exhibition is organized by the China Oral Care Industry Association, Exhibition Center of China Light Industry. The Show covers oral care products, raw and auxiliary materials, packaging materials, manufacturing and packaging equipment, oral medical equipment and materials.

4, China's pharmaceutical market trend

First, the price of pharmaceutical products will continue to decrease steadily. In June 2004, the price of 400 antibiotics in 24 categories, including penicillin, was reduced by, on average, 35%. The total value affected by this reduction was US$42 million. The central government has been playing a significant role in pharmaceutical price readjustment. According to industry experts, future price reductions will originate from hospital pharmaceutical retail shops.

Secondly, the rural pharmaceutical market will shift significantly. According to Information Times, 80% of counterfeit products are consumed in rural areas. This provides a huge opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to develop the market in rural areas.

Thirdly, China will become the largest pharmaceutical R&D base in the world. In recent years, more and more western pharmaceutical enterprises, such as GSK, Roche, Novo Nordisk, etc, have come to China and set up R&D centers. Twenty world leading pharmaceutical companies have established joint venture manufactories in China. Some have even set up sole propriety manufactories. Currently, amongst the largest 500 overseas enterprises, 14 of them are pharmaceutical companies.

The fourth trend is that foreign enterprises will begin an OTC price war in future years. Based on expert analysis, foreign enterprises have been closely monitoring the expanding OTC market. In September 2003, German Mike Company began its OTC project in China

In fact, I've had far more success with brief, to-the-point proposals than I ever have with a stereotypical ten-page document packed full of corporate jargon.

The truth of the matter is that regardless of who your potential partner may be - whether they're an ezine publisher, a competing business owner or even if they're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company - they're all going to be asking themselves the same question when they receive your proposal:

"What's in this for me?"

More specifically, they'll be wondering exactly how you might be able to benefit them and their company.

Therefore, the most crucial component of your proposal is obviously going to be explaining "what's in it for them". Now, before I get into more details about this, it is important to note that you must have something of great value to offer your potential partner.

It is absolutely crucial that your offer is laser-targeted, relevant and highly beneficial to their clients - as well as very lucrative for your potential partner. It's also very important to research your potential partner (and their company) in order to see what they would most likely be looking for - and it's not always more money, believe it or not.

With this in mind, let's take a look at how to write your proposal so that it pushes your partner's "buttons" - to the point where they'd have to be insane to turn down your offer...

What is your potential partner looking for specifically? Find this out by talking to them, reading their mission statement and researching them - as well as how they make decisions. This will reveal the "button" that you'll need to press as you describe the benefits of the partnership (ie. more profits, something new to offer their clients, giving their business a new edge on competition, etc.).

Make an offer they can't refuse. Again, this will also take some research, but within reason, you should bend over backwards to accommodate your potential partner and make it as profitable for them as possible. Remember that the clients you acquire from a joint venture will purchase from you again and again - and it's usually the "backend profits" after the JV where the real money gets made...

Make it as easy as possible for them to say "yes". People in general are obnoxiously lazy. Many of my proposals have been rejected simply because it either seemed too complicated - or it sounded like too much work to them, regardless of how lucrative it was. Simplify your proposal, and if necessary, take on the majority of the workload - remember that you're sitting on a goldmine!

Show them the money. Don't be vague when it comes to potential earnings. Logically explain to your prospect how much they could reasonably earn from the partnership. It is very important that you do not simply make an "educated guess" - base your predictions entirely on your current marketing stats, sales conversion rates and other real data. This is likely the most overlooked - yet crucial - part of any given JV proposal.

Be personal. A "canned" or impersonal proposal likely won't even make it more than ten seconds before getting tossed in the garbage. Relate to your prospect and emphasize their values by validating their interests, goals and passions. Also, if you want to really make an impact, send your proposal as a hard copy via FedEx. Email is simply too easy to ignore, erase or forget about.

Add a real sense of urgency. You want to subtly hint to your potential partner that you won't wait long to hear back from them - which is true, because if they say "no", you'll have to find someone else anyway. Word this in such a way that it compels them to action either way - but don't be overbearing, deceptive or unrealistic.

And most importantly, build rapport with your prospect. You must understand that the majority of business people - especially those that are very successful - would much rather work with someone that they know, like and trust than a complete stranger. In fact, it's crucial that you do this before you even send them a proposal...

Well, there you go.

You now have everything you need to start easily persuading potential partners to do business with you - as well as putting together some obscenely profitable joint ventures.

Apply these tactics to your own business development strategy and watch your response rates skyrocket!

Use a disposable email account. Keep your business or personal email account just for business or personal communication. If you are going to be making purchases online, joining newsgroups, or subscribing to mailing lists and ezines use a disposable email account. There are many online free accounts such as yahoo, hotmail or grail, and most of them can interface with popular email clients like outlook or outlook express. Use one of them for all of your shopping transactions.


Use different level passwords. Use one password for your personal information, use another for your business accounts and a third for your disposable email accounts or mailing lists you sign up for. Don’t use sequential passwords like password1 for personal use password2 for business, and password 3 for disposable accounts.


Use strong passwords. Don’t use your birthdates, year you were married, or your children’s birthdates. Avoid choosing passwords that consist entirely of letters or numbers. Also try to avoid using passwords that are actual words. The best passwords are mnemonic phrases like “my father ate three apples for breakfast”. Take the first letter of each word and convert the number into numbers and you end up with “mfa3a4b”.


Rotate your passwords. You should change your passwords every 6 to 12 months. If you suspect your passwords have been compromised change them as a safety precaution.


Use only one credit card for all of your online purchases. If any of your other credit cards have online transactions you know they are fraudulent. If you see offline purchases for your online credit card you also know they are fraudulent.


Use credit cards instead of debit cards. While many debit cards now offer online purchase protection it’s easier to dispute fraudulent charges than to recover debit card funds that have already been spent.


When you make purchases online make sure your transactions are secure. In the address bar you should see “https” and not “http”. There should also be small lock icon in your browser. If this is your first purchase from the company make sure the issuing company is someone you have heard of like Verisign, or Thawte.


Check a company’s privacy policy. When you make your first transaction make sure your check the privacy policy, look for logos from consumer groups like Trust-E and the better business bureau. Click the logos to make sure they are authentic.


Never open or fill out email requests for you to update your account or credit card settings via email. These are ‘phishing’ scams people use to try and secure your personal information. Many of them are growing increasingly sophisticated and go to great lengths to look exactly like the companies website using their exact logo.

To be successful, takes a lot of work no matter what you may read because there are so many people promoting products that promise to make adsense income easy.

Well some of these products may help, but there is no simple solution to receiving great income quickly.

Extensive planning is required before you start. It is important to carefully consider the topics or niches that will be targeted. It is very important to see what type of competition there is for certain niches.

If you are beginning with your adsense sites, it is better to start with niches that are not too competitive. The reasons for this are that in any niche it will take time to get traffic to the sites and make money.

Extensive keyword research must be carried out before building new sites. It is far better to target say 20 keywords that are not at the top of the keyword results.

Many newcomers make the mistake of seeing the high prices that certain words achieve, but do not realise what is involved to compete with these words.

So choose 20 related words to the main keyword, and then build a page for each of these sub keywords. It is very important to have closely themed sites as well, meaning that you are not trying to offer information on a variety of subjects.

Search engines are now looking for sites that offer their visitors good quality information following the keyword searches entered.

It is also important to have sites that are easy to navigate, so that visitors are able to find what they are looking for easily. Clear navigation linking is essential.

Another point to remember is that search engines will reward sites that are constantly updated with new content. It is best to work to a plan with new sites that allow new content to be added on a weekly basis.

Incoming links to sites are very important to achieve good rankings in the search engines. There is only so much on site optimisation that can be done. This includes different keywords and descriptions for each page, use of H1, H2, H3 tags etc.

It is essential that good quality original content is offered to visitors. Due to the abuse that occurred in the past where many people were using various software to produce hundreds of pages of worthless content in literally a matter of minutes to try to make money with adsense.

It is a good idea to work on getting links back to sites on a weekly basis also. Another good idea is to register with directories also on a regular basis.

Adsense can be a good source of income, but it involves a lot of work before the results appear. Extensive research must be carried out to check competition. It is vital to do thorough keyword testing. Then produce sites that are closely themed with a separate page for each targeted keyword. Then new content and links must be on the agenda for good adsense results.

Source: http://www.articletrader.com ]]> http://www.articletrader.com/business/google-adsense-program-is-like-finding-money-in-the-street.html http://www.articletrader.com/business/google-adsense-program-is-like-finding-money-in-the-street.html Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0500
Then you have the "Super AdSense" earners. We have all heard of them... the Elite few who are on track to make half a million dollars a year or more promoting AdSense sites.

Do not be mistaken though... these people are not building like your Mom and Pop's do. They have systems in place that create sites for them... people who build sites for them... they have outsourced and automated many of the tedious tasks such as posting to blogs and searching for keywords.

While most people cannot emulate everything these Super AdSense earners do... many of them you can.

Here are 7 Required Steps you can implement today to copy their success.

1) Starting today... treat your AdSense business like it is a REAL business and track what you do.

Begin tracking what you are doing that works... as well as what you are doing that does not work. This will keep you from making the same mistakes over and over, and you can repeat the steps that have worked in the past. As simple as this step seems... most people do not know the reason(s) to their success or failure.

2) Utilize the latest tools and software available.

The Super AdSense earners are not any smarter than your average person. I know many people think they are... but for the most part, they are regular non techie people.

They are smarter in one respect though... they use the latest tools available to them to automate most of the tasks involved with researching and creating sites. They use the latest keyword, site creation and search engine optimization tools available. The tools they use are their secret weapons.

3) Quit chasing the Mega Dollar keywords.

You cannot compete with the search engine experts who create sites for the $80 payout keywords. You may get lucky every now and then... but in the long run, you are better off building sites for the low to mid range payout keywords. The competition is less, and your chance of success is much higher over the long term.

4) Choose broad niches and break it down.

Choose a broad subject as your main theme (lets use computers for an example). From there... break it down into as many sub niches as possible.

Using Computers as the example... you could build sub niches/sites like laptop computers, computer hard drives, computer keyboards, etc, etc. You could literally build hundreds of sites around one major theme and stay totally focused. Once you have exhausted every possible sub niche of that major theme... choose another main theme and repeat the process.

5) KISS

Keep your sites easy to navigate and forget the fancy graphics that distract your visitors attention. Unless you are just building AdSense sites for the fun of it and to impress your friends... the purpose of having the site is to have people click on one of the ads, right? Then keep the site layout simple... dump the scrolling banners, dancing chickens and colored scroll bars... they are distractions.

6) What is the purpose of your web site?

Your web site cannot be everything to everybody. If you have a full fledged ecommerce site, with products for sale... links to other products, it is not a good site for AdSense. If the primary focus of the site is to sell products... let it do that.

Do not distract or confuse your visitor with to many options or choices. The best AdSense sites are AdSense only content sites that sell nothing. They are sites that "Tell"... not "Sell."

7) Be consistent.

This is not one of those deals where you build one site and you are done. Refer back to.

Think of it as planting a crop that you will harvest in a month or two, and the sites you build are seeds. Once the seeds have grown and matured... you will reap the harvest. The more seeds you plant... the larger the harvest.

To sum it up... utilize the tools available to automate as much of the process of building sites - doing research and building keyword lists as you can. This alone will help keep you organized and on track. Be consistent in building... treat it like the business it is and you will reap the rewards of your harvest.

Source: http://www.articletrader.com ]]> http://www.articletrader.com/food/recipes/delicious-new-york-style-pizza.html http://www.articletrader.com/food/recipes/delicious-new-york-style-pizza.html Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0500 The most defining feature of a New York style pizza is its crust. While Chicago style and others have thicker crusts, the crust of an authentic New York style pizza is thin, crispy, and hand-tossed. The crust's dough is high in gluten. It has been thought that the distinct flavor comes from the minerals in New York City's water. Don't worry that it's tap water, New York has, reportedly, the best water in the country.
The crust is made into a pizza with a diameter or roughly 18 inches. There are generally 8 slices to a pizza, although other numbers are ok. These slices are wide, thin, and foldable. The individual pizzas traditionally have mozzarella and tomato sauce as their only toppings. This is not to say that pizzas are not available with more toppings, just that these are the traditional ones. The pizza is also supposed to be light on sauce.
This style of pizza is not exclusive to New York. It has spread across the northeast over the years although it originated in New York City's Little Italy. In addition to being known as "New York Style" pizza, this thin crust pizza is frequently called Italian Pizza. It gets its name for being the style of pizza that is most frequently sold by pizza shops that are owned by Italian Americans. Greek Pizza is another option and so calling it Italian Pizza makes a difference.
Many pizzerias and chains that are not in the Northeast still call their pizzas New York Style. Despite their claims, there is some dispute about the authenticity of the claims. Pizza Hut and Sbarro, both nation-wide chains, both call their pizzas "New York Style;" however, most would agree this is a stretch.
The term "New York Pizza" is frequently mis-applied to generic American pizza. The problems with these pizzas can be that the crust is too thick or too thin. Another egregious error made when claiming a pizza is New York style is using mixed-cheese blends. These frequently include cheddar cheese in the mix which is, clearly, not part of the New York Style blend.
The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lomardi. His pizzeria was called Lombardi's and it was located in Little Italy in Manhattan. As New Yorkers have moved, so has their pizza.

Most fore trading systems are made off technical indicators (a moving average (MA) crossover, overbought/oversold conditions in an oscillator, etc.) But what are technical indicators? They are just a series of data points plotted in a chart; these points are derived from a mathematical formula applied to the price of any given currency pair. In other words, it is a chart of price plotted in a different way that helps us see other aspects of price.

There is an important implication on this definition of technical indicators. The fact that the readings obtained from them are based on price action. Take for instance a long MA crossover signal; the price has gone up enough to make the short period MA crossover the long period MA generating a long signal. Most traders see it as “the MA crossover made the price go up,” but it happened the other way around, the MA crossover signal occurred because the price went up. Where I’m trying to get here is that at the end, price behavior dictates how an indicator will act, and this should be taken into consideration on any trading decision made.

Trading decisions based on technical indicators without taking price action into consideration will give us less accurate results. For example, again a long signal generated by a MA crossover as the market approaches an important resistance level. If the price suddenly starts to bounce back off that important level there is no point on taking this signal, price action is telling us the market doesn’t want to go up. Most of the time, under this circumstances, the market will continue to fall down, disregarding the MA crossover.

Don’t get me wrong here; technical indicators are a very important aspect of trading. They help us see certain conditions that are otherwise difficult to see by watching pure price action. But when it comes to pull the trigger, price action incorporation into our Fore trading system will definitely put the odds in our favor, it will generate higher probability trades.

So, how to create a perfect Fore trading system?
First of all, you need to make sure your trading system fits your trading personality; otherwise you will find it hard to follow it. Every trader has different needs and goals, thus there is no system that perfectly fits all traders. You need to make your own research on various trading styles and technical indicators until you find a concept that perfectly works for you. Make sure you know the nature of whatever technical indicator used.

Secondly, incorporate price action into your system. So you only take long signals if the price behavior tells you the market wants to go up, and short signals if the market gives you indication that it will go down.

Third, and most importantly, you need to have the discipline to follow your Fore trading system rigorously. Try it first on a demo account, then move on to a small account and finally when feeling comfortably and being consistent profitable apply your system in a regular account.
