How To Develop Your Business Through Article Writing

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

There are many ways to gain exposure for your business: direct advertising, testimonials, branded website and article writing. Each method has the ability to increase your exposure in your target market and build credibility. Building credibility and establishing relationships is key to turning prospects into loyal customers. Article writing is the most effective way to build credibility. It is an irrevocable fact, however, that you can’t develop a business by bad article writing.

Here are some guidelines for effective article writing.

Learn to self-edit: The most effective way to ensure the quality of your article is to read your article over and over again, preferably out loud. This way, you will feel the flow of the article as well as read slowly enough to spot errors in the individual sentences. This will provide clues to help you restructure your article for increased readability.

Take a break mid-way: Many entrepreneurs who are not comfortable with article writing, prefer to sit down and write the article in one session. While it may seem like an effective stratgey, it is best to avoid article writing in one session. It is advisable to take a break for several minutes or engage yourself in another activity, especially if you feel at a loss for words or are having trouble organizing your thoughts. When you resume the task of writing your article, you will be back with a fresh supply of new ideas.

Consult an expert: This could mean consulting a professional writer or simply reading a style guide book. There are plenty of style guide books in the market. Buy one to suit your business needs. There are style guides for technical writing, business writing and even freelance writing. Style guides provide tips on grammar and syntax.

Create a structure: Article writing requires a good structure. The best way to create a structure for your article is to form an outline. Outline the points you wish to discuss in your article and refer to it as you write.

The Body of the Article

Once you have formed the outline, your next step is to create the main body of the article. Here are four tips to help with your article writing:

Create a peaceful atmosphere. Article writing is difficult when you are under stress.

Gather all reference documents. Ensure that you have all resource documents and notes at hand before you begin to write. Having to break your train of thought to clarify a fact or search for a citation will affect the flow of your article. Gathering all reference documents ensures that you will be well organized. You will feel clumsy if you go searching for data midway through your article.

Ensure that the facts and figure that you provide are correct. Blunders can create havoc for your reputation.

Stay focused and stick to attainable schedules only. Hurried article writing compromises the quality and poorly written articles to not attract quality business prospects.

Enhance Visual Appeal

While the content of the article is what will ultimately turn words into traffic and attract a stream of customers to your website, the visual appeal of your articles also has an effect on it's readability.

Here are the top four tips to enhance the visual appeal of your articles:

Create headings and sub headings to enable readers navigate through your article easily.

Limit paragraphs to no more than 8 to 10 sentences. Keep the sentences as short as possible.

Use bulleted and numbered lists. This helps to enumerate your points of view easily and also to avoid lengthy sentences.

Proofread your article. Nothing spoils your credibility more than an article with grammar and spelling errors. Take care to read your work minutely and exhaustively.

Remember, building and enhancing your business through article writing means sharing quality information. Kick start your business the right way by mastering the skills of effective article writing.

No Fret Family Budget: Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

For some, the idea of a budget is often a blur. It is frustrating to see how hard it is to do a budget and realizing that with one wrong purchase, you can actually ruin the entire thing. And this has been a perennial headache for most homemakers.

It is about time to overhaul the way people look at budgeting. It can actually be a great way to keep track of your family's expenditures and help you evaluate the things that you spend the lion's share of the family's earnings on.

What is a budget? A budget is a tool for handling your finances by controlling the family's expenditures in a way that money is enough for paying up bills, and still ensuring that savings are set aside for future expenses - vacations, or children's education, or even for retirement.

Try these simple steps in preparing a no fret family budget, and see the benefits of intelligent spending.

1. Gather three months of your pay stubs and get your average monthly earnings.

2. Get out three months of your monthly bills. Do this for the fixed expenses like the rent, phone bill, car payments and other loans that come monthly. Add them up and get the average. Do the same for other expenses like groceries, and credit card bills.

3. Evaluate the results of your computations. Looking at your average monthly earnings against your monthly fixed expenses and other monthly expenses, think of some ways to economize. Cut back on some items that are somehow unnecessary.

4. Knowing the facts of your income and expenses, develop a family budget and try to stick to this monthly budget.

5. Now that you have a monthly budget, set up a savings account. Save up by making regular deposits to this account.

6. Keep track of this monthly family budget just to see if it is working for you. Try to fine-tune the "rough edges" of this budget as you go along.

7. If you can get hold of a personal budgeting software or spreadsheet application to keep record of your budget, the better. This will make organizing your expenses very easy.

These are the basic steps in developing and implementing a no fret, easy to stick to monthly family budget. Of course each family has diverse needs and wants. You have the freedom to develop your own monthly family budget, depending on your family’s financial background and needs. No matter how you do it, just focus on the end result, which is building a savings that leads to a bright and financially stable future for your family.

Viral Marketing E-Books – An Essential Tool In Your Online Business Blueprint

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

If you're considering viral marketing seriously, and I really hope you are, you’ve got to take an e-book very earnestly. You can derive great advertising mileage from a well written e-book. The reverse may also be true, so you need to manage the quality of the e-book with care.

Reasons For The Effectiveness Of An E-Book

Why is an e-book effective for viral marketing? To begin with, it allows you to project your business as a leader in the field. If you have put together a great document, your readers will feel confident of what you say and will be inclined to try your product as well. It is not necessary that you write the e-book yourself. You can hire a subject matter expert, or ghostwriter, to do it for you. What is important is the fact that a reader is increasingly aware that you know the job.

A viral marketing e-book is easy to create. With e-book compiler programs, you can include images, sound files and video in the e-book so that the reader can understand the subject with absolute clarity. This will help to establish your position as an expert and help to convince the reader that you know what you are talking about.

Another advantage of a viral marketing e-book is that you can fill it with written testimonials. If you have a number of satisfied users who are willing to write a few good words about your product, include their letters in a relevant portion of your e-book.

Making Your Viral Marketing E-book Available For Others

How do you make your e-book available to a large number of people? There are a number of methods you can follow. The first is a simple download from your website. Whether you request an opt-in before you release the download or just make it readily and easily available is up to you. Try both and see what solicits the best response for your business. In either case, tell the readers of your e-book that they can make copies and pass those to as many people they wish. In return, you can use a page in your ebook to ask for a simple e-mail response with their feedback and reactions to what you've written.

Doing so has a number of benefits. You can get an idea of how many people are reading your book and from the comments they offer, you may even improve the e-book and your product. Realize, though, that only about 20% of the people who receive copies of your viral marketing e-book will respond, so you need to factor this into your calculations.

Encourage your readers to use this book in any way they want. They can bundle it with other books, e-mail them to others and post it on their own sites as a download or anything else. You are, after all, interested in your book spreading like a virus.

Properly handled, a good e-book is a great viral marketing tool. You will be amazed as to where it spreads and how far it goes.

Container Gardening: Tips For Planning & Potting

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Container gardening solves many problems for the avid & novice gardener. It's the ideal solution to challenges such as limited space and poor soil.

Container gardening also allows you to place your garden where you want and need it. Container gardening can also improve monitoring and control so that optimal growing conditions can be maintained.

But what is container gardening? Container gardening is the raising of plants in soil filled containers outside of the traditional garden. It affords many people the chance to garden who would otherwise not have the space for an open garden on the ground. Container gardening is ideal for city dwellers who have only a balcony or rooftop to garden on. But even if space is not a problem, container gardening can just make gardening easier and more convenient.

While any type of container will do, it's best to use something that's not too shallow and does not leak. Most Home and Garden stores and nurseries sell prefabricated containers for container gardening. Or you can simply build your own to fit the space. With a little imagination, almost anything can be used for your container gardening project. An old wheel barrow or large kettle for instance. Even an old computer case! The container you select for container gardening doesn't just have to be functional. It can also be a design element.

Good quality soil is critical to a plant's growth and continued health. And container gardening affords you the chance to totally control the medium your plants are growing in. Buying good quality planting and potting mix helps assure you of a successful container gardening project. Since container gardening is usually in containers under twenty gallons in size, it is a wise idea not to scrimp on the cost of soil. Once you have your container and soil, it is time to begin container gardening.

Select your container. As stated earlier, the container should not be too shallow. It needs to be large enough for deep root development. Just make sure it is clean to begin with and then fill the bottom with two to three inches of gravel or drainage and then fill the rest of the container with soil. If you're using a large container for your container gardening, remember that it may be very heavy once it's filled with rocks and soil, so you may want to prepare it in the spot where it will be used so you don't have to move it. Once your container is filled and in place, you will want to give the soil a good watering to settle everything and to wet any peat moss that may be in the potting mix. Once this is done, you are ready to plant your plants according to the needs of the individual plants.

Proper watering is also an important element of successful container gardening. Plants in containers will need more frequent watering than plants in an open garden. So particular attention needs to be paid to watering, especially on hot sunny days. A drip irrigation system for your container gardening project will take care of this need easily and will protect your plants from the trauma of fainting on a hot day from lack of water.

Container gardening can be fun and easy with just a little planning and preparation. Plan your container garden today.

Everything Outside Gardening Tips

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

When I sit down and try to think of what gardening tips I can give, I think back to that pieces of advice I got that were and still are helpful and useful. To me, that is what defines a gardening tip. There are many sources of gardening tips from experienced gardeners that give you advice, to TV shows, books, magazines and the internet. It seems that almost any gardening question can be answered with a gardening tip from somewhere. And it often appears that there are multiple viewpoints on every gardening question so sometimes these gardening tips actually contradict one another.

There is a lot of research and learning to be done in gardening and to a large part no one else can do it for you. You can get ideas and advice, but ultimately you will have to test it out for yourself and see if it is helpful and useful.

So my gardening tip for you would be: Ask questions, search for answers, but test it out for yourself. That being said, here are some of the things that I would say are good gardening tips.

Raised Beds
Raised beds answer so many needs which is why I'm including it in my gardening tips. Whatever form of raised bed you use, and there are many, you can count on the raised bed to make your garden easier to work and more productive. The soil in a raised bed is better because it never gets stepped on, weeds are easier to remove from a raised bed, planting and tending and harvesting are all easier with raised beds.

Soaker Hoses
My gardening tips continue with a look at soaker hoses. Soaker hoses are so much more efficient for watering your garden than sprinklers or spraying with a hose. So much less water is lost to evaporation that it really saves a lot of water and money. Your plants are healthier with a constant low level source of water soaking to soil deeply at their base. By encouraging deep root growth, you are making your plants healthier and so much more drought resistant.

Have Fun
Probably the most important gardening tip I can give you is to have fun. When gardening becomes a chore and all the fun has gone out of it then you are losing one of the greatest benefits of gardening and that is stress reduction. Don't over do it and keep it fun and you and your garden will both be healthier for it. In truth, this may be the best gardening tip of all.

The Top 3 Ways To Eat More Greens

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500

One of the central components of any healthy diet is eating a sufficient quantity of greens. Yet 95% of people who follow a health diet, do not consume enough green leafy vegetables.

I'll admit, I often have trouble (or sometimes even lack the desire) to eat my greens. There are days when I just don't eat enough of them. I know greens are good. I know I need to eat more greens but I just don't do it.

And then I discovered a fun way to get more greens into my diet. Here are my Top-3 Ways to get more greens into your diet.

1. Make Green Smoothies

Green smoothies are great and my favorite way to consume a large quantity of greens! When I first heard about green smoothies I was a little skeptical about blending fruit and greens and was surprised by the result.

Here are some recipes from my ebook Smoothies for Optimal Health.

Berry Roman Smoothie

1 cup strawberries
2 whole bananas
1/2 bunch romain
1/2 to 1 cup water

Blend fruit and water. Add romaine lettuce. Enjoy.

Being Green Smoothie

2 cups fresh spinach
1 whole grated cucumber or carrot
2 whole bananas
1 whole orange
3 whole apples, juiced

In a blender, whirl together all ingredients until thick and smooth.

2. Make Blended Salads

Once you've gotten used to the taste of greens in your smoothies, you can graduate to making blended salads. You can transition gradually by reducing the amount of fruit in your smoothie and increasing the quantity of greens. Gaspacho is a type of blended salad. Here is one of my favorite recipes (though I will admit it took me a while to get used to the taste and texture of blended salads).

Blended Salad

2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 ribs of celery
4 leaves lettuce (big)
1 big handful spinach
1 green onion
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup parsley
2 Tbs. dulse flakes
1 Tbs. nori flakes (optional)
Water if needed

Blend the tomatoes together, and add the rest of the ingredients progressively. Use water only if you need to. A blended salad should be quite thick.

3. Find One Good Healthy Salad Dressing

A funny thing happened once I started consuming more greens in my diet. I started to dislike some of my favorite "healthy" dressings. My tastebuds lurched at the taste of olive oil. So I compiled a collection of healthy salad dressings in my ebook "The Top 70 Healthy Salad Dressings You Can Make in Less Than 2 Minutes"

Here's a recipe to get you started.

2 tomatoes or cucumbers
2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 cup fresh dill
1 small avocado

Blend tomatoes and add other ingredients progressively. Blend until smoothie. Add other seasonings if desired. Use more water if necessary.

We know greens are good for us and we should all strive to get more greens in our diet but don't force yourself to eat more greens if you don't like them! You'll get sick easily. Instead, let your innate hunger for greens come back naturally, by slowly incorporating more greens in your diet in the form of green smoothies, blended salads, etc. You'll find that as your diet starts to become cleaner, you will naturally crave more greens and raw foods.

Identity Theft Through Computers and the Internet

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes. My days as an Information Security technician occurred at a time when identity theft was still in its infancy. The victims of identity theft are actually a surprisingly young group, demographically speaking. The highest rate of identity theft is occurring in individuals aged from their mid twenties to their mid thirties. And identity theft through computers and the internet accounts for a portion of these incidents annually. About one in every eight Americans experience Identity theft on computers and the internet each year. Identity theft on computers and the internet can occur through fraudulent requests for personal information and through online buying services that are not secure sites and by having your personal computer compromised by someone you know and trust. More recently, identity theft has been connected to the use of social networking sites like Facebook. Read on to learn how to protect yourself from this fast rising crime.

There are safeguards you can implement to reduce the chance of identity theft through computers and the internet. A majority of identity theft that is going on is by means of offline activities, like stealing wallets, checkbooks, credit cards, mail and other personal items that contain critical identification information. Identity theft that occurs through computers and the internet tends to happen very often when your own personal computer is breached.

You can reduce your chances of this happening to you by using passwords to log into your computer, even if you're the only one using it, by changing your passwords on a regular basis and by not leaving your laptop open when unattended. These days, almost everyone has personal information stored in their computers. If you have selected "remember password" on a web site and someone goes to history and visits your frequently or recently visited sites that are linked to credit cards, other banking information and or electronic tax records, then you could be an easy mark for identity theft on your computer and the internet.

Although online identity theft is an ongoing threat to personal security, there are many companies developing and marketing software to counteract the threat called, anti-phishing software. Phishing is when someone uses the internet and sends an e-mail (spam) to a user making false claims to be a legitimate and recognized business entity in an attempt to scam the user into giving certain private information that can be used for identity theft through computers and the internet. Anti-phishing software may help, but is not a guarantee for protection, so make it your practice to keep your personal information secure to reduce your chances for identity theft on computers and the internet.

Another technique that malicious hackers and criminals use for identity theft on computers and the internet is spyware that gets into your computer and grabs lots of stored information including financial accounts, passwords and other critical information that will allow this individual access to your money and identity. So along with all the wonderful benefits that computers and the internet offer us in our daily lives, there is always, lurking out there in cyberspace, the possibility of identity theft on computers and the internet.

Which Style Of Yoga Is Suited To You?

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Yoga is one of the fastest growing types of exercise. Though it has been practiced for centuries, it has only gained mainstream approval, meaning you can easily find yoga classes in your local fitness club or video store. If Yoga is an interest, then it's essential to find out which style of yoga is suited to you. There are many styles of Yoga that are practiced today. The different styles are all based on the same basic poses but they each differ slightly in their emphasis. There are many more styles than listed here, with many gyms offering their own style, which is often a combination of several other styles. Here is a list of the most popular Yoga styles and what they represent so you can decide on the best one for you.

Hatha
Hatha Yoga encompasses many physical types of yoga. This traditional style yoga is typically slow-paced with gentle movements. This is a good starting place as the exercises are likely to be easy and basic.

Vinyasa
Vinyasa Yoga is another widely used term to describe a yoga style. It generally provides a more vigorous style of yoga in which breathing is synchronized to movements. One of the warm-up exercises is typically the Sun Salutation, which is followed by more intense positions and stretching.

Astanga and Power Yoga
The word Astanga means 'eight limbs' in Sanskrit. This Yoga is a faster paced and more intense style. In this yoga style a set group of poses is done in the same order, as a routine. There is much movement or flow and it is more physically demanding than other methods of yoga. Power Yoga stemmed from Astanga yoga and is a popular type of yoga at many gyms and studios. Similar to Astanga in movement, Power Yoga may not follow a set routine.

Iyengar
This style of Yoga is based on the teachings of yogi B.K.S. Iyengar. The main emphasis on this style of yoga is body alignment. This type of yoga stresses holding the poses for long periods of time. This type of yoga also uses props such as blocks and straps, which help keep the body aligned during exercise.

Kundalini
In Kundalini Yoga the emphasis is on breathing in conjunction with the physical movements. It is believed that this allows the body's lower body energy to be freed to move upward. This style emphasizes controlling the breath along with more rapid and repetitive poses and may use chanting to keep the breath in rhythm.

Anusara
A relatively new style of yoga, it is popular at some studios because it uses a positive philosophy, which is derived from Tantra. There is a general belief that all things are good. These types of classes are usually less strict than other classes in nature so the atmosphere is often more casual and fun. Props are often used in this style.

Sivananda
This style of yoga was founded in 1957 and is popular in many locations worldwide. It is based on five principles: exercise, breathing, relaxation, diet and meditation. This is a widely accepted yoga style.

Importance of Breakfast in Your Diet

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Many people make the mistake of skipping or scimping on breakfast in their daily diet. This may be due to any
number of reasons...rushing off to work, jumping into household chores, getting caught up with child care or just
plain poor eating habits. Breakfast is an important element in one's daily diet, whatever type of diet you may prefer.

I used to skip breakfast all the time. I would often fill up on water and head out the door for the daily 1.5 hour
commute to work. Of course, the first stop after getting off the train would be a coffee - simply to keep me going, not for the caffeine fix! When I worked in the Corporate World, I counted myself among the many who would skip their morning meal. Breakfast was a luxury time didn't permit.

Some who are very weight loss conscious, or just wish to control weight through diet, erroneously think that skipping breakfast is a good way to eliminate calories. This is a mistake in terms of overall health, calorie control and good diet habits. Because the food we eat in our diet, the times when we eat and the particular type of food intake (protein, starch, sugar) all affect blood sugar levels and appetite. We need to control food intake in our diet in order to keep energy and blood sugar at appropriate levels.

I started back at the gym two months ago after a five year hiatus. One of the first things I did, even before setting foot in the door of the gym, was incorporate a breakfast and a morning snack into my daily routine. It's made the world of difference. In fact, the days that I don't eat a full meal or skip my snack, I feel it in my energy levels when I hit the gym.

In essence when we awake in the morning our body has been through a period of "fasting", with no food intake for a
number of hours. This results in relatively low blood sugar. If one skips breakfast in one's diet, the blood
sugar level continues to dip and a sudden craving can develop for food, especially for sugar in the diet, which
again causes a quick rise in blood sugar. When the diet includes sudden intake of sugar, the sugar level jumps,
which develops a roller coaster effect and leads to a poor diet which includes "quick fixes". Typically a quick
response to low blood sugar is a sweet, a soft drink or alcohol...none of which are a good diet supplement.

A diet which maintains appropriate levels of blood sugar and energy will include a healthy breakfast. Blood sugar levels will be maintained with a diet that includes a balanced breakfast combining whole grain, some source of protein and fruit. Protein in particular in the diet, including breakfast, will maintain blood sugar levels, avoiding the dips which lead to snacking.

If you're pressed for time, consider a smoothie. You can chop your fruits and vegetables the night before and load
them into your blender glass. Refridgerate overnight (or not if you prefer room temperature smoothies) and whirl away in the blender in the morning along with your favorite liquid. Five minutes is all you'll need to whip up a nutritious and substantial breakfast. You can even pour it into a travel mug or neoprene jug and tote it with you on your commute.

A healthy breakfast is an essential part of a healthy diet. Beginning your day with a good, nourishing meal is the first step toward maintaining a balanced diet and a sensible approach to good eating habits. Don't skip breakfast in
your daily diet.

Your body will thank you.

Seeking Employment as a Career Change

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500

About nine years ago, I was a member of the rat race. For close to a decade, I had a regular 9-5 corporate job. In that time, I probably changed jobs five times! A few moves due to leaving college and then a few more moves while I tried to figure out what I loved to do. There are many times in your life when you might find yourself seeking employment and one of those times could easily occur when you are making a career change. Seeking employment when you are making a career change is sometimes a process resulting from a deliberate decision and sometimes due to loss of a current job and being forced into seeking employment as a career change because no jobs are available in the area of your prior experience.

If you find you are looking for new employment for a career change because you have discovered some new passion in yourself or a newly opened job , the process will be somewhat the same. And if looking for new employment in a new career is a result of personal choice, this process can be fun as well as challenging. Seeking employment when involving a career change will be easier if the new proposed career is at all related to your last career, taking for instance, photography in the area of industrial manufacturing to fashion photography. Your new career path will require many of the skills you have utilized in previous employment, but adapting them to the new subject models and finished product for use in fashion marketing publishing rather than business use in technical instruction articles and advertising.

When you stress your strengths in resumes and interviews while seeking employment as a career change, you will probably have a wealth of examples and job history to show evidence of your qualifications for this employment. And this will most likely make gaining new employment for your career change a shorter and easier process. If on the other hand you are seeking employment as a career change is in a totally new field for you from your prior employment history, you will need to take a somewhat different approach to convince the hiring individual that your motivation and new training makes you a desirable candidate for employment.

Before seeking employment as a career change, you should do an honest assessment of yourself. What are your likes and dislikes? What type of employment would you be good at? Will you need retraining for a career change? Are there some classes you could take now to prepare you for new and different employment? How realistic is it for you to be seeking employment as a career change right now? Is the employment market strong right now in the new field you have chosen? These are all important questions for you to ask and answer before you begin the process of seeking employment as a career change.
