3. Nutronix, Network Marketig At It"s Best

Welcome to the Nutronix Revolution!

I can't begin to tell you how very excited I am to share this with you.  This is a really exciting opportunity to share.

In the past I have been involved with other network marketing companies and all I ended up with is a headache and deeper in debt.  I said “never again!”  Each time I always felt bad about approching my family and friends and I knew they were not the least bit interested in what I had to say. People have approached me with other opportunities but none of them grabbed my attention like Nutronix International has.

So why did Nutronix get my attention? 

You don’t have to buy a box of products to sell.
You don’t have to approach your friends and family.
You don’t have to attend meetings at restaurants and/or hotels.
You don’t have to drive miles and miles to deliver one product.
You don’t have to do mass mailings and spend $$ for postage.
You don’t have to hire an economics major to explain the compensation plan.
You don’t have to record training/meetings in case you missed something.
You don’t have to go door-to-door leaving flyers on people’s doors.
 

 …AND ON TOP OF THAT…

They have state-of-the-art products.
It is one of the least expensive programs to join in the industry.
They give you web sites.
You get trianing, support and splash pages at no extra cost to you.
They give you access to Nutronix Builder Marketing system.
Sponsors and top leaders are available via telephone and email.
A leads program second to none.

You bring your prospect to one of the 15 conference calls (three a day, five days a week) and they will do the selling for you.

This sytem can be used by anyone - whether you want to pay off your car loan, have residual income, build a nest-egg, work fewer  hours per week, or build your retirement,  you set your goals and together, myself and the leaders of Nutronix will be there to help you achieve it.

See it for yourself!     Nutronix International 

Stay tuned!

Health and wellness products.  To be more specific their line of products ranges from antioxidants to joint health supplements.  Some other products include Resveratrol supplements, skincare products, juices, energy supplements, vitamins and minerals, cell health, green foods and detox packages.

5. The Nutronix Revolution is Here To Stay

The Nutronix Revolution is Here To Stay!
 
The 11 Year Old, Debt Free, Nutronix Company is launching the world’s
first. “Low Monthly Cost-Product Driven-Infinity Weekly Pay (Repeats
Annually) -2 by Infinity Matrix Unilevel”, This Plan has the potential
of massive spillover but with all the benefits of a Unilevel. All each
person needs to do is to sponsor 2 to have the potential of $30,000 per
month. If a person sponsors more than 2 and meets a minor purchase
requirement the potential is unlimited with over $1 million per month
possible.
 
MAIN PRODUCT,     View this video:
 
The motivation for each person to get 2 people to get to their weekly
coded bonus legs will cause a huge explosion and spill over in a single
2x15 matrix. When each person gets 2 in their first month and they never
get more than 2 and this progresses for 20 months then there will be over
one million people in just one 2 by leg. This is 2 times itself 20 times
or 20 doublings.
 
This plan has the benefits of both a “spill over” matrix and a unilevel
plan all in one-Profit Centers change a 2xmatrix into a Unilevel. All of
your “Heavy  Hitters” are on your first level. A 2x15 matrix becomes a
2 x infinity with unlimited income potential. (First time in networking
industry.)

• Fast start pay from infinity repeats annually from the same people that
gave it to you in the first year. It then also repeats and pays you year
after year. (First in the industry).

• Most people bring in 2 so that they can start their own weekly pay fast
start from infinity legs.

• Fast start pay could easily be well over $1000 per week. (First in the
industry).

• Most of your big weekly fast start pay will come from the effort of others.
(First in the industry).

• All this supported by a highly desirable and successful health product
line.

• Low cost monthly product order to qualify. This will be quickly offset
by income from the weekly fast start and monthly matrix income which starts
in month 2. Very low attrition. (First in the industry).

• Not a binary, get full income from strong and weak sides.

• Only sponsor 2 to qualify for up $30,000 per month from the 2x15 matrix.
(First in the industry).

• Help 2 get 2 and get free re-entry profit centers and get unlimited income
(maybe $ million per month) from the 2 x infinity matrix. (What you get beyond
the $30,000 per month depends on your work level).

Join the fastest growing team in Nutronix Revolution . I look forward
to working with you! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

12. Promoting Your Website

Your Website promotion is really not that difficult. It just takes a  bit of effort, a little bit of thought, and a fair amount of patience.

It is crucial to understand that site promotion is a long-term, low-intensity effort.

It can take time to get into the search engines, and longer to develop a site that gets top rankings.

So don't be overwhelmed by all the tutorials and tips I give you! You don't have to do all of this overnight.

The #1 mistake people make is rushing! Take your time, slow down, read the articles, think about how they apply to your website, and then proceed.

If you're selling something, make sure you're selling the right thing. The internet is a great tool for selling things, but there's a big gotcha. If you're trying to sell something that lots of other people are also trying to sell, you're facing big competition.

First, it's going to be a lot harder to get noticed on the search engines if you do nothing, and second, the competition is going to eat away at the profits.

The real secret to making money on the net is to sell something that nobody else is selling.

Even if the market is tiny and obscure, if you're the only maker, the net will bring you and your customers together.

14. Vereconference Web Conferencing System

So what is Web Conferencing really all about? The following report includes some fascinating information about Web Conferencing--info you can use, not just the old stuff they used to tell you. 

Most of this information comes straight from the Web Conferencing pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know.

VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol. With VoIP we can talk to other users through our computers, using a variety of applications. The two main ones that we use in internet marketing are Skype and the Vereconference web conferencing system.

With Skype, which is free to download and use, as long as we are calling computer to computer (and not to phone), we can talk to anyone in the world for free. (there is an option to dial phone and it costs money, and not sure why anyone would prefer to do this)...

All we need to Skype is an inexpensive computer headset or microphone and speakers. We can talk to one person, 3 people or even 10+ people on an internet conference call.

The premier VoIP application, the Vereconference web conferencing system, is absolutely amazing in its functionality.

As Vereconference is 100% web based, we only need to download a tiny, free voice client and to have an inexpensive computer headset and speakers and we are in business.

The Vereconference moderator or presenter can upload files from their computer into the room in a few seconds, and display them for all the participants. These files can be PowerPoint presentations, graphics, photographs or plain text files. Websites and code can be displayed.

All Vereconference participants can record the sessions, both audio and visually with one click, and save it to their hard drive. We can even play music, all with crystal clear sound.

My favorite thing in my Vereconference room is the white board where everyone can use the highlighter, the pointer, and create text or graphics.

So you can probably see how the Vereconference web conferencing system is perfect for online meetings. The uses for Vereconference are many. It lends itself perfectly to training, planning, sales presentations, customer service, and even clubs.

Why pay for a teleconference or conference call? For that matter, why spend a fortune for people to travel for national (or international) meetings, when for pennies a day we can use Vereconference?

Vereconference virtual conference rooms, that seat from 3 to 500+ people, start for as little as $12 a month! Yes, that's $12 measly dollars! There are no contracts beyond month-to-month.

Take your business, no matter how small or large, into the 21st century with the brillance of VoIP and the Vereconference web conferencing system!

Try Vereconference for free, with no obligation, at http://www.williammrogers.vereconference.com

Take time to consider the points presented above. What you learn may help you overcome your hesitation to take action.

Yours respectfully,

15. Ultra International MLM Downline Builder

The best course of action to take sometimes isn't clear until you've listed and considered your alternatives. The following paragraphs should help clue you in to what the experts think is significant.

So far, we've uncovered some interesting facts about UltraInternational. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.

Your ready to join a mlm business opportunity and you want it to start taking off and growing everyday for that ultimate goal of residual income that we all so dearly seek.  But you don’t want to go to your family and friends to ask them to sign up and you really don’t know thousands of people.  So what are your options?  Do you even have options?

You have quite a few options actually, but probably the best one available would be a mlm downline builder.  It seems that there are quite a few of these available to individuals who are specifically working with mlm networking or multi level marketing of some kind.  The more multi network marketing businesses pop up the more you seem to find an mlm downline builder available.  There may be one that’s right for you but gosh they can get expensive every month since most charge you $20 - $50 a month.

Now when you are looking into utilizing an mlm downline builder you want to be certain of a few things.  One, that you have thoroughly checked them out, meaning you have done some type of research on them.  You aren’t just picking based on inni mini minni moe.  No sir, that’s not going to work for you at all, you are going to want to be sure that you have put a little effort into finding out what type of company you are looking at working with.  You want to know if they have been around for at least a few years and if your leads and prospects are being sold to multiple people at the same time, or are they just yours and your only to keep forever.

Once you have established the company that you are going to use as your mlm downline builder and you are confident that they are legitimate, you can get to work.  With downline builders you have the potential to make hundreds more than if you were doing it solo, by emails, word of mouth or trying to get your friends and family members involved.  While some downline builders are free, those that you pay a fee for, tend to yield you the most profit.  But I have good news for you because  Ultra International is the ultimate in a mlm downline builder system and get this, it’s FREE!  Zero, nadda, zilch, no cost what-so-ever.

But it get’s better then that because they also offer you free leads and I mean good free leads, leads that usually sell for $2 - $5 each and you can get them in a bundle of 100 leads, use them, call them, email them and when your done go get another 100 free leads.  These are not your typical free leads because they are 8 question surveryed leads that tell you a little about each person and where they are coming from and where they want to be in the future.

16. Economic Goldmine and You

 

It’s always exciting to find products that you are looking for.  It’s even more exciting to find unexpected products.  And when you’re like me and into saving what’s left of our environment or trying to restore it back to its original state of well being, it’s always better to find products that contribute to that.  Well I found a company that offers these types of products and It is truly an Economic Goldmine.

Now I’m sure that you have heard all the various companies that offer you the best possible products with the best prices, so they say.  But you haven’t seen true environmently friendly products until you have seen the products that Ultra International has to offer.  And they do have some wonderful products to offer.  Of course it really depends on you and what you are looking for, but I think that you will see that Ultra has a lot to offer.

So what are the products that Ultra is going to offer you?  They have a very nice line of items.  They offer house hold items, laundry items as well as supplements, weight loss products and health drinks.  And let me tell you, you have never seen products like these before.  I don’t know of any company that comes close to being as green and clean as Ultra is.  They have taken their time developing products that will provide you with the best cleaning results, while at the same time, doing no harm to the environment.  While a lot of products that are out in circulation claim to be 100% pure, they often forget things like the containers or some of the cleaning agents that are harmful.  While some of the products are natural, sometimes over 60% of them being natural, the other 40% still cause harm to both your family and the environment.

If there is ever a company that will offer you a comprehensive line of products, that are going to be good for your home and the environment, Ultra International would be that company.  Check out what they have to offer, you will not be sorry, I promise.  And your family, pets and the environment will thank you for it. Go here and check out the Ultra products and the Ultra International Business.

17. How To Make Money With A Home Based Business

The best course of action to take sometimes isn't clear until you've listed and considered your alternatives. The following paragraphs should help clue you in to what the experts think is significant.

Think about what you've read so far. Does it reinforce what you already know about internet home business? Or was there something completely new? What about the remaining paragraphs? 

For many people, running their own Internet Home Business has given them a freedom they never thought would be possible. Being able to spend more time with their families, pursuing interests, and being their own boss has given them a sense of pride and accomplishment. It is possible to start an Internet Home Business to make money online without having to work ten hour days or seven days a week. While people who have their own businesses work at their own pace and choose the times when they want to work, they usually do not work when they don’t want to. This comes in handy when they are sick or when they have other things they need to do during the day. If you need to be home for most of the day, then starting a home business will give you the income you will need and the freedom to work when you want.

Making money online can be done in a variety of ways. You can sell goods and services through a web site, you can join an affiliate marketing program, you can offer your writing, editing, web design, and other creative services to those who need it, or you can find a data entry or customer service position. Finding out more about what is available will require you to search the internet, ask others who work from home, and begin visiting job boards to see what is available. Once you have decided which business to go into, you will have to spend time building a web site and marketing your services. This will help you build a customer base. After a few months, you will have an Internet Home Business that makes money online.

Once you have started your business, you may want to find other ventures that will make money. There are many programs available that will give you commissions for sales that are made through your marketing efforts. You can find numerous opportunities for this type of work. If you are detail oriented, have extra time during the day, and want to explore other options, then you should look for other opportunities online. You may also be able to use one business to promote another. As you learn more about the internet, you will be able to make connections, see money making opportunities, and you will be able to learn more about what is available. This is a great way to reinvest the money you have earned while maintaining your bottom line. Internet businesses that make money online are those that are continually advertised in different markets. By expanding your business or starting another, you will increase your profits and take advantage of everything the internet has to offer. 

There's a lot to understand about internet home business. We were able to provide you with some of the facts above, but there is still plenty more to write about in subsequent articles.

If you have decided to start your own home based business and are interested in internet marketing, than you should take a look at Veretekk. You will get everything you need to market online with Veretekk at low cost that wont break your bank.

19. Generating Leads For Your Business

Have you ever wondered what exactly is up with leads? This informative report can give you an insight into everything you've ever wanted to know about leads.

Truthfully, the only difference between you and leads experts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to leads. The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you'll be glad you took the time to learn more about leads.

Picture this, your MLM business is more or less already set-up, it seems like things are looking well. However, you notice that you're not taking complete advantage of the general structure and idea of MLM, that is, you don't have enough downline or recruited affiliates in your organization that will lead to a boom in your commissions and gains in your MLM business. Can you guess what is missing thats impeding your progress and hindering you from easily generating an explosive downline growth...YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS LEADS COMING IN!

Yes, you got it right you have to make sure you're getting the best MLM leads. Does this mean that you have to pay leads providers in order to get their expensive package full of their so-called exclusive and responsive leads? Not necessarily!  Purchasing leads will cost you hundreds of dollars a month and will likely give you a yield of responsive clients as would a regular leads package, or even random surveying of various people. The best leads aren't necessarily those you accessed with a high price, but those that are truly relevant to your industry, and are completely interested in your venture, yes those that you generate personally...targeted leads.

While purchasing leads has proven to be effective for a small minority, others like me swear by generating their own leads. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out, the leads you generate are yours the leads generated by the leads company are yours plus dozens more so go figure.

While a few enjoy the perks of the ease of purchasing responsive leads, you also get to enjoy the personalized approach generating your own leads takes on. For one, you can utilize your company website to reach out to potential downline simply by putting up a sign-up for your company newsletter that any visitor can fill out with ease! Moreover, you can increase web traffic to your website (because web traffic will bring greater exposure to your site) by writing various articles on your industry, on your business, and even on your company in various websites or blogs on-line. You can also have a hand in creating an advertising strategy that best targets the market you're after. That way, you're inviting and soliciting the attention of interested parties and potential clients whom you can call and would be willing to hear out what you want to say because they believe you have something invaluable to offer them.

Communication is key so once you have the leads and you are calling them and not getting the conversion rate you desire then, you're just not calling them the right way and marketing your business in the most strategic way. Do not overwhelm them with your offer even though they have shown an interest in your industry, just let them know the benefits etc, no hype and fluff, people are tired of the BS.

At the end of the day, you have to make your business lead know and feel that he/she joining your business is of great importance to you. You know for a fact that this person (and most every other person) is interested in making more money. You know that your MLM venture can give this other person just what he or she is looking for. The best way then, to connect to this person and convince him or her to be part of your business is to participate in a genuine conversation with this person. Be willing to answer questions, erase whatever qualms they have over network marketing and its rub with being illegal, and even in encouraging them to take action in making big money.

After these conversations, you are likely to gain yourself a friend. Moreover, you've just increased your downline growth. Expect too, that should this home based business lead have friends interested in the same venture, you're the first person on speed dial that is going to be called once they get together and your primary lead shares how you managed to convince him or her to jump in. That, my friend, is how you generate explosive downline growth guaranteed!

So where did I gather all this knowledge...all in one company called Veretekk Marketing and Automated Lead Generating System.

Happy Marketing,

27. Email Marketing and List Building

When you're learning about something new, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of relevant information available. This informative article should help you focus on the central points.  

I trust that what you've read so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way toward clearing up any uncertainty that may remain.

If you are someone who is looking to expand your business and make more money online, starting up an email marketing campaign is one of the useful tools that you can use to achieve this. The use of email marketing has exploded in recent years and most internet marketers have seen the benefits and the exceptional return on their investment that email marketing offers. Email campaigns prove to be a very useful tool to generate more profits for a company.  Here are some of the facts that you need to know about the advantages and benefits that an email marketing can give to your business.

Advantage

One advantage that email marketing can give your company is a mailing list. A mailing list provides the ability to distribute information to a wide range of specific, potential customers at a relatively low cost. Compared to other media investments such as direct mail or printed newsletters, email is less expensive. With this particular technique, the price of internet marketing has become significantly lower. Due to this primarily cost effective benefit, this campaign has been known to be a great help for small scale business owners. Moreover, these campaigns are known to generate immediate response for advertisers and are also relatively easy to track the performance of.

Advantage Cont.

Another advantage is that the delivery time for an email message is short as compared to a mailed advertisement and an advertiser is able to push the message to its audience as opposed to web-based advertising, which relies solely on a customer to visit the website. Besides these two advantages, an advertiser using this campaign correctly and properly can take entrepreneurial achievements far beyond their competitors.

Email Campaign Power

Now, let us discuss the powers of an email campaign and how functional it is in reaching business targets. Since, we have started this discussion, we have been citing the cost effectiveness of this Internet marketing campaign, so let us elaborate this point further. With this email marketing strategy, an advertiser can cut expenses on Internet marketing by about 50 percent. Internet marketing companies offer several email marketing solutions including email marketing ready-to-use templates, content management, list of contacts as per relevance to your target market, graphical solutions, email hosting services, performance tracking, reports generation on the basis of performance of the campaigns, and many more. An email marketing campaign has been seen as one of the easiest Internet marketing tools. It is short, compact, and comprises of the most important and compelling features. The content is developed to create instant rapport with readers and customers. Though, terms like 'free' and 'discounts' spark interests, an overuse of these terms may cause an email campaign to look more like spam and result in your email being delegated to the trash bin without being read. Instead, lay emphasis on value added service to intrigue a reader and take an immediate action to check out what you are offering. One more important aspect of this email marketing campaign is creating a good design for your emails. Aesthetic value of designs and layout of emails are not to be missed, because this is what will generate the first impression in a recipients mind. A focused and targeted email campaign with inclusion of precise points and proper addressing to recipients can reap a highly beneficial response.

Conclusion

If you are an online marketer looking to expand your business and gain more income, you should start your own email marketing campaign. Starting one will surely do wonders for your online business and will boost your sales and website traffic. 

There's no doubt that the topic of Email  can be fascinating. If you still have unanswered questions about Email , you may find what you're looking for in the next article. 



28. Video Marketing On The Internet

Online video publishing has indeed taken the Internet by storm in recent years, making the use of video for marketing, promotion, news and PR online a true key strategic component and a key business differentiator for internet marketers who want to communicate effectively about their product profile and benefits within the shortest possible of time.

Internet is full of information and the average attention span of a web user today is measured in seconds. When web users search for their information at a search engine, they will get thousands of search results; when they visit your website, they may only spend a few seconds and little efforts to scan through what you are selling or proposing and decide whether your content, style, look and approach are a good fit for what they were actually looking for. These first few seconds are crucial and if you can delivery clear and targeted message by offering a fast, highly visual way to get their further attention and engage their interest, you have done bingo.

Does this mean that you just need to simply put up 10-min video tutorial on your website or just slamming some video contents up on your web pages, you will instantly sell more products or services? If this is your way of marketing with video on the web and hoping to get a high conversion rate of traffic-to-sales, you will work more toward getting disappointments than good news.

In order to make your video  effectively market your products/services online and convey your product/services key traits and characteristics within a very short time in a unique, memorable way. These are a few rules of thumb to follow:

1. Get Your Video Seen

If you want your video to be an effective marketing tool, it must be able to be seen  by as many web users as possible. Hence, don't just keep your video inside your web site borders. Let your video content be free and distributed to the major video sharing websites such as YouTube and Google video so that not only others can watch and talk about it, but they can easily download it, redistribute it, even publish it directly on their own sites.

2. Small File & Load Fast

Statistics show that average web users spends 7 seconds waiting for a page to load. Web pages that take longer than 7 seconds normally lose a potential customer. Hence, you need to make sure your video file is small enough, ideally less than 1 megabyte and loads in time to keep the interest of your visitors.  Hence, you must get a video format conversion tool to convert your video to a more internet friendly format such as SWF format.

3. Let Them Know It's A Video, A Short Video

If the web users do not know that it is a video, they won't click it and play it; hence your video will not be seen. So, you must let the web users know that the "box" is a video; the best way is to make it look like a video ( VCR-like)  by having a play and stop button where the web users can click to play the video and stop it whenever they choose.

Let the web users know also this is a short video. No one wants to sit through a 30 minute presentation on the history of your company; be focused on your products/services and deliver your messages preferably within 2 minutes.

29. Email Marketing With Opt-In Lists

Email Marketing

If you have even a passing interest in the topic of Email, then you should take a look at the following information. This enlightening article presents some of the latest news on the subject of Email. You can see that there's practical value in learning more about Email. Can you think of ways to apply what's been covered so far?

Here on the information super highway the internet has become a valuable tool to most people and certainly to most businesses. Most business people have realized the importance of email marketing and blog postings. Unique to the internet age, businesses can now truly reach directly into their customers' homes and talk to them one on one.

The most effective means of advertising is to reach your target audience as quickly and directly as possible. To properly promote their products and services they need to get the benefits in front of them. While email and blogs are good for this purpose they can also be used to establish and maintain contact and develop a relationship with the customer. This type of marketing is grown exponentially as the internet has evolved because people in the online world are hungry for information, and they now have the opportunity to subscribe to information they are interested in.

Of course, not all people are willing to subscribe to your emails or blog posts. They may have been interested in your products or services at one time but may not want to receive further information from you. When you continue to send emails to unsubscribed customers you can be accused of spamming. Spamming is a serious offense and can have repercussions with your web hosts and or spawn and anti-Spam campaign against you on rogue websites or blog comments.

So how do I reach my customers that want to hear from me without being accused of Spam? Good question! This very concern has give rise to the creation of the Opt-In list and it has gained tremendous acceptance. Opt-In is feasible to most online businesses and there are many services that make this extra step and easy process and seamlessly intertwined with your marketing campaign.

Building and marketing to only an opt-in list not only increases your probability of success but can also boost your sales and profits as well. Because you have asked your customer to make a choice to receive your emails and posts your are now only sending information to a very receptive customer. You can now promote your products and services to someone who has confirmed they are interested in you and what you provide. Their response to your product line will generally be more positive.

Email marketing , in the past, had become a disgraceful method of marketing but with the opt-in list you will not be accused of spamming. Always offering the opportunity to unsubscribe at any time will constantly cull your list and only keep the most interested customers in your sites.

Consider your options. The first one is the single opt-in. An online business would use a "sign-up" tag on their website so that each time a person visits they are given the opportunity to subscribe to the business' email list.

The second one is the confirmed opt-in list or double opt-in. You follow the steps of the single opt-in but once the visitors subscribes to the particular web site's email list the first message they will receive is a confirmation message. In the message is states that the visitor has subscribed to a particular email list and to click the link presented to confirm that this is what they wanted.

30. Email Marketing

The best course of action to take sometimes isn't clear until you've listed and considered your alternatives. The following paragraphs should help clue you in to what the experts think is significant. 

It seems like new information is discovered about something every day. And the topic of email marketing is no exception. Keep reading to get more fresh news about email marketing.

Any marketer knows that there list of customers, leads and referrals is the holy grail of any marketing strategy.

With out a list there is no marketing campaign. There will be no joint ventures and there might be no bread and butter on the table. If you are not building a list you are not building a business. The best way to capture a lead is to offer a free e-book, news letter or special report on your landing or squeeze page of your web-site or blog.

Most, if not all,  network marketing corporations only give you a generic business web-site to sell there widgets gadgets and to enroll your prospects. Some that I have seen can be a bit confusing as well with what I would consider with to much clutter or to many options. Corporations set these sites up to try to offer everything and the kitchen sink to boot. This is a big mistake in my opinion. When your site has a catalog of widgets to sell, your prospective customer will become confused from all the different options. So now, it is your responsibility to remove the confusion. To do this you will want to send your prospect to your site and not your companies site.   

The best way to beat the corporate clutter so to speak is to create a landing page with an irresistible offer. Anyone that has been on the internet for a day has probably surf across a site that was offering a free report, e-book or white paper. I suggest that you contact your sponsor or up-line and see if there is a free offer that you can give away. If not, then create your own or give away a product that your business sells. The way to capture your leads this way is to have a sign up form at the top of your sales page. This form can be as simple as a lead giving you there name and email address. If you are offering a free product, then name, email address, home address and possibly a phone number. Then the contacts information will zip over to your auto responder, will send the offer and capture the lead. Or it could be both. Your landing page needs to be a one page list building machine.           
  
 So to re-cap,

1. You need an irresistible offer (preferably a free offer)
2. You will need a landing page describing your free offer.
3. And you will need an opt-in form for your prospect to be able to opt-in for your offer so you can capture there name and email address. I.E. an by way of an Auto Responder.

As your knowledge about email marketing continues to grow, you will begin to see how email marketing fits into the overall scheme of things. Knowing how something relates to the rest of the world is important too.

31. Relationship Building

Do you ever feel like you know just enough about MLM Marketing to be dangerous? Let's see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from MLM Marketing experts. It seems like new information is discovered about something every day. And the topic of MLM Marketing is no exception. Keep reading to get more fresh news about MLM Marketing.

Many MLM up-lines are not sales people and they learn the business on the fly. They bring in people by hard selling them and making the business look spectacular. The problem with this is that once they bring a prospect into the business, they abandon the individual.

There is a theme in MLM that says that if the person doesn't do anything in the first 30 days or so, it's time to move on to the next person. This was the old way of thinking about MLM prospects and it still is at play today.

What up-lines are missing is that these people are actually ones who could have the most potential if they are handled correctly and brought into the business well. They are the ones who probably need more attention in the beginning but who can move quickly to meet more people.

MLM should be about relationship building but unfortunately most people want to make money fast. If you build a relationship with the people you bring into your organization you will build a stronger foundation.As an example, one MLM company has only four steps to success. They emphasize to people to follow those 4 steps, then teach their people how to duplicate the process. It's very simple. But many people in the organization do not follow the principle. Instead, they use the old way of doing MLM.

When they lose people in their organizations, they wonder why. It is simple. They did not build the relationship and they did not follow the process. MLM is a business that is built on people and their relationship with others. Even though a lot of it is done online, people still need some type of contact with others in order to build the business.

Most people do not know how to run MLM and they have to be taught. When you leave them after you have explained some of the beginning pieces, they will eventually leave the business. If you want to build an effective business, you have to network with your people on a regular basis.

MLM is a people to people business. When you treat your people well, they will repay the favor with their prospects. Whether you are selling soap, travel, herbal products or real estate it should be all about people. If you are in it for any other reason, your business will eventually fail.

That's how things stand right now. Keep in mind that any subject can change over time, so be sure you keep up with the lates

32. Reverse Marketing Is The Way To Go

When the Internet was in its infancy and online marketing was gaining popularity, e-mail solicitation was the primary way to advertise. Solicitors did not generate leads on their own they purchased thousands of e-mail addresses from "list" companies. They would then blast an offer to thousands of recipients at the same time. As the e-mail invitations increased, people began complaining that they didn't want all these unsolicited marketing offers cluttering up their inbox. This process became known as "spam" and now there are rules and regulations that govern this type of marketing campaign.

What happened was these e-mail lists were sold over and over again and consequently the same addresses were receiving many, many different offers that they didn't want or in which they had no interest.

The proper way to send e-mail offers today is to send only to recipients that have given their permission to you to do so and also, the e-mail needs to have a way for them to option out of your list if they want to.

Reverse marketing can give you the ability to acquire your own list of prospects that are actually looking for your product or business opportunities then you can develop a relationship with them that is spam free.

Here is how it works. You invite prospects to e-mail you by using free for all (FFA's) ad companies to advertise what you are offering. People inquire back to you and you then have the chance to communicate with them on a more friendly basis. These are people that have requested information from you so they are looking forward to receiving your e-mail.

Another way to acquire e-mail address is to set up a "capture" page on the Internet. Each of these capture pages or "portals" have a specific function called an opt-in form that when filled out collects their e-mail address into your list. This way they have actually asked for your information and you can then send it to them.

No more paying many, many dollars for a list of e-mails that usually provides minimal or no results. You can market to a list of your own prospects that are exclusively yours because they have requested something from you and you can do it completely spam free.

33. This is strange territory. The Dow is down, Wall Street needs a bailout

This is strange territory. The Dow is down. Wall Street needs a bailout. But across the country, there is still a bull market These persistently high market rates have practical consequences. For example, although mortgages linked directly to the base rate will come down, people seeking to refinance mortgages because their fixed-term deals are expiring in the next few months may find they have to pay more than they would have a year ago.

Banks that have a large retail deposit base will drop the rates of interest and therefore get cheaper access to funds. But any bank that relies more on money market deposits has to pay more for its funds and so has to impose higher charges for its loans, assuming it wants to increase its lending book.

That leads to a second consideration: the availability of credit. It may be that the interest on home loans does come down a little through the course of next year, particularly if there are several further cuts in the base rate.Whats's a person to do?  There are only two ways to start a new business (apart from jumping in the deep end, not knowing what you're doing but hoping for the best – an all-too-common method, unfortunately.)

The first method involves getting a job in the industry of your choice and learning the business on the inside before establishing your own company – a sound but slow process. The second method means buying an existing business, and this can be done in one of three ways – by actually buying an ongoing business, purchasing a franchise, or signing up for an established business system, with a built in training program. Or you could embark on a self-created training program. Business systems tend to be less costly and are therefore within reach of more entrepreneurs, while the self-created training program might mean no more than purchasing a few books and, possibly, attending some community college classes. It all depends on how much effort you are prepared to put into it.

We are pleased to present a few ideas that could put you on the road to your own success — there is an Economic Goldmine out there if you look for it Visit Here.

My name is Mike Rogers, I would love to share my expertise with you to get your business started or propel it to the next level. I might be the cheapest, yet most valuable employee you ever hire. 

When things get tough everything seems bleak, doesn't it?  When you started out, things like goal setting, making plans, and mission statements were new and exciting. You had big dreams and looked forward to the fruits of your success. 
   
What happened?! You probably made some good progress for a while and then plateaued. Don't worry. It happens to everyone. However, this is a "No Hype Zone." Meaning, I am not going to make any wild promises. I will help you do what you know needs to be done. I will help you with some success techniques and will share with you some lessons I learned the hard way. But the truth of the matter is, no-one can do it for you.

36. Improving overall Health with Nutritional Supplements

Is Your Food Nutritional?

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about nutrition in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make. 

It's really a good idea to probe a little deeper into the subject of nutrition. What you learn may give you the confidence you need to venture into new areas.

"But I eat healthy," you might say. That may be but if you are not supplementing your diet with nutritional supplements then you likely have certain nutritional deficiencies. You might be eating everything you should be but the problem is that the majority of our fruits and vegetables today do not have the nutrients they once had. They have been stripped of their valuable nutrients by big business farming practices, premature picking and improper storage practices. While we may think we are eating well we are eating empty calories from nutrient stripped food grown in land stripped of the necessary minerals to produce healthy food.

Could this improper nutrition be why we have so much disease today? Consider your grandparents and their families and think about how long they lived. You will find that for the most part they lived longer and without the help of pharmaceutical medications. Elderly people today seem to be on long lists of drugs and they are still plagued by Alzheimers and other disease. There were two differences in their lives. They were not subject to the environmental hazards which plague our world today and their food was wholesome.

Our food is probably not going to get any better. Therefore it is a necessity to supplement with professional quality nutritional supplements.

With so many supplements on the market making outrageous claims it can be difficult to know which ones are good. Some supplements claim that you must use a liquid supplement because tablets don't break down in the body. This is simply not true. If it were, most of our medications would be in liquid form. This is only a problem when tablet supplements are not designed with quality in mind so that they break down. In fact, liquid supplements are not as effective as properly made tablets because the acid in the stomach attacks it before it has a chance to be absorbed into the blood stream. Pharmaceutical grade medications have solved this problem by using a special enteric coating which is designed to protect the tablet while it passes through the stomach.

The delivery systems or coating is one aspect of a quality supplement but what about the formula itself. Of equal importance is the quality of the ingredients and the manufacturing and blending procedures.

Not only are the ingredients important but the formula mixture is also vital to a quality supplement. Different ingredients react differently with each other. They can react in a positive way but also in dangerous ways.

Herbal ingredients can have even greater variations than other ingredients because of the different extraction methods that are used and the percentage of actives. For example, in some instances the non active ingredient can actually be more active in the product than the active ingredient because it is needed to carry the active ingredient.

The other problem with so many supplements is that they often do not contain what they claim to contain. First of all, this occurs because of the fact that there are no regulatory requirements in the USA where these supplements are made. This problem is then made worse because of the intense competition among supplement manufacturers. Secondly, this happens because of the complexity of the blending process.

It is important that you understand the issues around supplements and how to choose good quality nutritional supplementation. Something to also keep in mind is that just because a product says it is manufactured in an FDA approved facility or a pharmaceutical facility this only means that the facility has met certain hygiene requirements.

It never hurts to be well-informed with the latest on nutrition. Compare what you've learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of nutrition.

37. Pick Your Vitamin Supplements Wisely

How To Choose A quality Vitamin

The following paragraphs summarize the work of Vitamins experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of Vitamins. Heed their advice to avoid any Vitamins surprises.

Most of this information comes straight from the Vitamins pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know. As you may have already experienced, figuring out how to choose a good quality vitamin and mineral supplement can be a confusing and time consuming task.

The purpose of this article is to look at several important factors that you should consider when looking for a good quality vitamin and mineral supplement and to provide you with resources where you can learn more.

CONSIDERATION #1: ABSORPTION

Here is one of the first questions you should keep in mind:

Will the ingredients in the vitamin and mineral supplement you are considering actually be absorbed by your body?

There are many steps that the ingredients in your vitamin and mineral supplement (referred to as supplement from now on) have to go through in order to make it all the way through your digestive tract, into your blood stream and ultimately to the location where your body can use them.

It's a complex process and there are many opportunities for the process to not go quite right and prevent your supplement ingredients from getting to where they are supposed to. Let's look at some factors that can affect the journey your supplement takes and also affect how well your body can absorb a supplement's ingredients.

WHAT IS BIOAVAILABILITY?

Bioavailability is the degree to which a nutrient is available to the body for use. More specifically, for a nutrient to be bioavailable it must be within physical proximity to the cell so the cell can use it. Also, for a nutrient to be bioavailable it has to be dissolved in some sort of solution so that the nutrient can be transported across the cell membrane.

From a non biochemistry perspective, here's a simple way to picture what needs to happen; the nutrient has to make it all the way from your mouth to the cell and be in a form the cell can use.

For bioavailability to occur, certain things have to happen once you put that supplement into your mouth. Here are two of those processes. One is dissolution which refers to how fast a supplement dissolves. An example to help you picture this process would be taking some sugar, putting it in a glass of water and stirring it with a spoon until the sugar disappears.

Another process is disintegration. This is similar to dissolution only disintegration refers to how fast the capsule or tablet breaks into smaller pieces so that the dissolution process can take place.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR SUPPLEMENT WILL DISSOLVE

So how in the world are you going to be able to tell if the supplement you are considering does all this dissolution and disintegration stuff? Fortunately, it's pretty straight forward to figure out. A good way to know that your supplement is meeting these standards is to make sure there is some sort of "USP" designation on the label of the product.

USP refers to U.S. Pharmacopeia, an organization that was established to create state-of-the-art standards to ensure the quality of medicines that humans use. This includes vitamin and mineral supplements.

An example of the kind of USP designation that you want to look for on the label of a product you are considering would be something like, "this product conforms to the USPXXVII requirements for disintegration and dissolution."

WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU PICK THE WRONG SUPPLEMENT?

If the vitamin supplement you are considering doesn't meet the standards discussed above, it can pass right through your body and do you no good at all.

To give you an example of this, I have actually seen a photo of an x-ray taken of a person's colon area with the vertebrae of their backbone off to one side. In this photo I could clearly see two supplement tablets, still intact, looking like they had just come out of the bottle. These supplement  tablets were poorly made, never disintegrated and would soon end up in the toilet.

Photos like these are a graphic illustration of the fact that just because you swallow your vitamin supplement doesn't mean your body is going to be able to use it.

ARE YOU WASTING YOUR MONEY?

With this in mind, let's look at this useless, undissolved supplement from a another perspective; a financial one. Let's say you find a great deal on a supplement and start taking it. We'll call it Supplement X. Let's also say this Supplement X costs $20 for a sixty day supply.

You think you've found a great deal, however what if it turns out that your Supplement X has been poorly manufactured and is only 10% bio available. What this means is that your body will be only able to use $2 worth of this supplement ($20 times 10%).

And what happened to the other $18 you paid for the supplement? It went right through your body, that's what. Looking at it another way, you paid $20 for your sixty day supplement supply yet ended up completely wasting 90% of that $20 you spent. You literally flushed $18 right down the toilet.

Just like everything else in life, there is no free lunch. When it comes to choosing a supplement, don't be cheap. Do your homework and find a good quality supplement that your body can actually use.

OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER

- Are the health benefit claims being made by the supplement company provable?

Vitamin supplement companies may claim that their product will do certain things or that the way they put their product together or package it will create a particular health benefit. This claim may very well be true but the only thing that matters is have they proven it. Are there proven health benefits from taking their supplement? In other words, have there been clinical trials that prove the health benefit claims?

- Is the supplement you are considering safe to consume?

Just because the supplement is in a bottle, the bottle has a fancy label and it looks like it comes from a big company doesn't mean the ingredients in the supplement are pure and safe. There can be many substances in that capsule that can have an immediate harmful effect as well as a harmful effect over the long term.

WHERE YOU CAN LEARN MORE

Specific details on health benefit claims and whether or not the supplement you are considering is safe to consume are beyond the scope of this article. If you would like more info on good qualtiy vitamins and minerals click on the link below.

FINAL THOUGHTS

If you have gotten to the point where you are looking for a vitamin and mineral supplement to take, congratulations. You have taken a positive step towards improving your health and taking better care of your body.

However, make sure to continue that commitment to yourself by doing your homework and making sure that you choose a good quality supplement. It makes no sense to go that far then end up wasting your money on something that your body can't even use.

38. Fight Aging With Antioxidants

The Importance Of Antioxidants

Antioxidants are an important supplement to anyone's diet because they prevent the bodily damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are the most common cause of tissue damage and free radicals have been linked to every known disease by more than 6000 scientific studies.

Free radicals are molecules that are over-reactive because they are unbalanced electronically. In an attempt to become balanced they rob electrons from the molecules that make up the cells in your body, damaging or destroying them. In addition, free radicals damage cell structure and reduce the cell's ability to function.

Controllable amounts of free radicals are formed during normal cellular functions, but excess free radicals can result from drugs, air pollution, tobacco smoke, pesticides, herbicides, chemicals in our food and water, allergic reactions, emotional upsets, excessive exercise, and even an excess of certain dietary substances such as fats.

Fortunately, antioxidants protect against free radical damage. They offer a powerful nutritional tool to prevent illness and even slow down aging. Examples of antioxidant nutrients are Vitamins A, C & E and the minerals zinc and selenium.

There is also a super potent antioxidant commonly known as Proanthocyanidins. These active ingredients are the most potent, natural, free radical scavengers yet discovered. In tests done to measure the ability of substances to neutralize free radicals, proanthocyanidins proved to be 20 times more powerful than Vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E!

So is taking an antioxidant necessary? Yes and no. It's not absolutely necessary, but it's definitely worth your money. It's a supplement backed up by solid evidence proving it's wide range of bodily benefits.

If you would like to learn more about the power of antioxidants and to learn about some of the best products on the market for antioxidant protection, than you need to check out UltraInternational.

39. Natural Vitamins Are the Way To Go

Natural Vitamins Are Important For Your Health

Are you looking for some inside information on Vitamins? Here's an up-to-date report from Vitamins experts who should know.  

So far, we've uncovered some interesting facts about Vitamins. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.

Natural vitamins are an important part of your health regimen. If you are not getting the daily allowance of vitamins  recommended from your diet, then you need to learn how to use natural supplements to compensate. It is important to know  which vitamins are right for you and why they should be natural and not synthetic. 

It is  important to take vitamins containing natural ingredients instead of vitamins containing ingredients that are synthetically produced. Why is it important to take only all natural vitamins? Well, natural ingredients are absorbed by the body and synthetics are rejected by the body. If you can do this naturally why would you want to use the synthetic when synthetics don't work.

An additional point to consider is that synthetic ingredients do not have some key components that the natural vitamins have and as a result inhibit absorption of important ingredients. The quality of natural ingredients is higher than synthetic because it is coming directly from nature. Believe it or not, the manufacturing process used to make synthetic ingredients frequently removes the substances that are beneficial because they are exposed to heat and other processes that inhibit the health benefits.

Some individuals even have adverse reactions to the man-made substances. The manufacturers of synthetic ingredients believe that they have matched the chemically produced ingredients exactly to those found naturally, but doctors in the natural medicine field are not so sure they've succeeded and state that is only somewhat close to the natural substance.

What should you look for in natural vitamins?

1. Health Impact
2. Actual cost of vitamin-absorption rate versus rejection by body
3. How well your body tolerates synthetic substances. Some people reject synthetic substances immediately while others need to increase dosages slowly and so the vitamin does not work as fast with synthetic ingredients.

In conclusion, natural ingredients are preferable over synthetic ingredients and the actual cost is less than you would think. Be informed when purchasing vitamins. Watch out for the claims of synthetic vitamin manufacturers, they hope to sell their vitamins to you even if it does not contain natural ingredients. 

So now you know a little bit about Vitamins. Even if you don't know everything, you've done something worthwhile: you've expanded your knowledge. If you would like to check out some quality vitamin and mineral products that are totally 100% natural than click on this link: http://ultraprobuilder.com/mikerogers.

Improving Your Health With Nutrional Supplements

Nutrient Supplements Can Protect Your Health

Are you looking for some inside information on Health? Here's an up-to-date report from Health experts who should know. You can see that there's practical value in learning more about Health. Can you think of ways to apply what's been covered so far?

Nutrient supplements are widely used today but we often miss finding the key nutrients we really need and waste our money in the process. As a health conscious consumer we need to know how important it is to take a personal approach to your overall health and well- being.

I tried everything under the sun. The newest or best nutrient supplements to hit the market were in my home. I found out over time I was simply guessing on what my body needed. Sure having 5-10 bottles on the shelf and taking something was better than nothing, but I was choosing products that were not specific to my own needs. I was taking too much of some ingredients and not enough of others. In most cases I was relying on other people telling me what worked for them or what the people at the local nutritional store thought was their best supplement.  I had no idea if it was good or not. I wanted the piece of mind knowing I was feeding my body the ultimate formula to help me maintain optimal health.

There are so many variables to your health The food we eat today is different from lets say, just 50 years ago. The water we drink is much different. The environment is not like it used to be. All these factors break down the Human body. Through research, scientists recently confirmed that each of us has unique body chemistry. Our health is a result of Interactions between our genes and lifestyle factors. It is our genetic make-up that determines which nutrients are used and how they are used. By taking nutrient supplements, science has proven you can have positive impact on how your genes work and compensate for areas in which your genes are not functioning. 

Don't limit yourself by refusing to learn the details about Health. The more you know, the easier it will be to focus on what's important.

42. You May Not Be Getting The Proper Nutrition With Your Meals

Should You Be Taking Vitamin Supplements?

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about Supplements in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make. Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable. You might also want to consider the following:

Lots of people take nutritional supplements to bridge nutritional gaps in their diet or as proactive health measures against certain health conditions. Are you sure you are taking the right nutritional supplement specific to your health needs? Taking some time to assess your health needs can help you choose the best supplement for optimal health.But your question may be more basic: Do I really need to take nutritional supplements? We live in unique times. Stress, pollution, conveniently accessible processed foods, unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles overtime can take their heavy toll on our health. This may manifest itself in bouts of tiredness, unhealthy weight gain, digestive problems, insomnia, or a weak immune system. In addition to these common symptoms of poor health, each of us has uniquely individual health needs.Taking care of your body today is like investing in your health for tomorrow. Let's address some common reasons why many people do not take nutritional supplements. And those who do take nutritional supplements may also discover that you can benefit by changing or adding nutritional supplements to your diet as you assess your individual health needs.Let's begin with:


I don't need nutritional supplements. I eat healthy and get enough nutrition through my diet. I would suggest you do a simple exercise to confirm whether your diet is meeting your nutritional needs. Note  everything that you eat for two weeks, including the quantity. Check a nutrition table and track the nutrient value of everything you eat. After two weeks, work out your daily average and check your daily rating against your RDAs. You may be in for a slight shock! Statistics show that most Americans don't meet their nutritional needs. Lack of protein, too many carbohydrates. You might find that your diet lacks protein but is too high in carbohydrates. This is very common in the American diet. Cutting down on the carbs and supplementing your diet with spirulina or chlorella (high-protein content) will help fill this nutritional gap. Lack of fiber. Another common feature is lack of adequate fiber. Fiber supplements are available as an individual product or may be included as an ingredient in a whole food nutritional supplement. Fiber is known to bind toxins in your GI tract and help speed its transit through your digestive system, thus minimizing their absorption in the body. Fiber is also known to promote healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. If your diet falls short on many RDA counts, consider taking a superfood supplement which includes multi-vitamins, minerals, protein, dietary fiber, probiotics and enzymes for good digestion.

I have a busy life. I've tried taking them, but my schedule doesn't allow me to be consistent. I travel a lot.If you lead a busy lifestyle, taking a nutritional supplement regularly will help you have the energy and concentration power you need to perform at your maximum best. You may be on the go all the time and miss out on meals. Nutritional supplements are available in convenient-to-carry individual packets. This is usually in powdered form to be mixed with water. You can carry packets with you any where you go, and use it any time you feel the need for an energy pick-up.It is important to attend to your health needs as a priority, in addition to the many other important demands in your life. A busy schedule can add stress to your life. Stress can increase the toxin levels in your body. Not only would your body need to be armed with B-complex, but nutrients like resveratol and omega 3s can help to increase your concentration and cognitive abilities. Green tea is also known to have soothing benefits for a tired mind.

I don't know which nutritional supplement to take. Take some time to assess your health needs. The simple exercise mentioned above will help you find your nutritional needs. You can either adjust your diet to meet your needs or introduce supplements to bridge the nutritional gaps. If you are still unsure, seek the advice of your doctor before you take any supplement.However, everyone can benefit from taking a multi-vitamin supplement. An effervescent multi-vitamin formula is the best since it allows 99% bioavailability. Look for one from a reputed company.

I take a multi-vitamin. I don't think I need to take anything else.As research on nutrition advances, there are more nutritional supplements available to strategically help you with specific health needs. Some might be formulated for health conditions you are facing or you may likely face because you are in a higher risk category for such diseases. These include: High cholesterol levels. If your cholesterol levels test high, or you have a family history of coronary disease, then you should look for herbal supplements that can help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Omega 3 supplementation is advisable for improved heart health. Look for a pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Other nutrients for heart health include resveratrol, cocoa and green tea. Some products contain a combination of all 3 for powerful antioxidant power that promotes cardiovascular health. Diabetes. Green tea is also known to help support healthy blood sugar levels. Green tea supplements are available in various forms. Arthritis: Omega 3 fatty acids, along with other nutrients such as glucosamine sulfate, methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), hyal joint have been well researched for their role in supporting joint health. Stress Induced Conditions. Stress is known to cause poor immune health and a host of health issues such as premature aging due to free radical damage. Antioxidants also help to reduce free radical activity. Free radical activity is the unstable activity of cells which can lead to their malfunction and malformation. Antioxidants help maintain normal cellular growth and repair of cells.

I'm scared I may overdose.It is very unlikely that you will overdose from nutritional supplements. Nutritional supplements do not provide you your complete RDAs-just a portion of them. The rest you must get from eating a balanced diet.
 

Those who only know one or two facts about Supplements can be confused by misleading information. The best way to help those who are misled is to gently correct them with the truths you're learning here.

43. Herbal Supplements And The Power Of Antioxidants

The Anti-Aging Power of Antioxidants

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary. You can see that there's practical value in learning more about Antioxidants. Can you think of ways to apply what's been covered so far?

There is no doubt that the herbal supplement industry is enjoying a popularity never seen before in its history. Scientific validations of many herbs, easy access, more choice and increased herbal health awareness is leading more consumers to choose herbal supplements as their first choice for self healthcare. But are herbal supplements really better than their synthetic counterparts?

The Science Behind Herbal Supplements

Centuries before man began producing synthetic medicines, he had discovered the use of medicinal plants. Through the use of herbal plants he developed a system of natural treatment which effectively worked to relieve many of his ailments. Scientists, too, are now re-affirming the medicinal value of these plants through careful research and clinical trials.Certain plants impart health value because they contain phytochemicals, often referred to as phytonutrients. Phytochemicals are chemical compounds in plants that possess medicinal properties. They can be used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, for supporting the immune system and enhancing cellular repair functions. They are also being studied for their role in treating certain diseases. Examples of phytochemicals:Aloin, glucommannans, salicylic acid in Aloe Vera have antiseptic properties and can be used to effectively support digestive health.

Polyphenols (a type of phytochemical) in Green tea are powerful antioxidants. Scientific research strongly suggests these antioxidants play a role in skin health, especially in protecting the skin against UVA and UVB. A number of other health benefits are attributed to Green tea polyphenols.

Resveratrol, a phytosterol (plant oil) found in red grapes, is being studied for its role in nutritionally helping the body ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

Pure cocoa contains high levels of epicatechins and are important for supporting heart health and good blood circulation. Pure cocoa is known to have the highest antioxidant value.

St. John's wort contains flavonoids and phenolic acids and is traditionally used for depression.

Glycosides and terpenoids found in Gingko biloba nutritionally help to improve cognitive memory, and are used in certain nootropics.

There is more scientific evidence available now to corroborate the medicinal value of herbs than ever before which is why herbal supplements are gaining consumer confidence in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Why Herbal Supplements are Better than Synthetic Supplements

Herbal supplements are more bio-available The major problem with many of the synthetic nutritional supplements is their bioavailability. Only about 30-50% of nutrients in synthetic supplements can actually be absorbed by the body. The rest becomes waste. In contrast, herbal supplements are much more bio-available to the body.
Herbs tend to have less side effects than their synthetic counterparts The added benefit of herbs is that they tend to have fewer side effects that are often accompanied with the use of synthetic drugs or supplements.

Statistics show that on an average, there are 106,000 deaths annually due to prescription drugs1, while only 12 by the use of herbal supplements, mostly associated with misuse of herbals supplements or unusual circumstances.
A good herbal supplement contains no chemicals It is said that an average American could be consuming approximate 10 lbs. of food chemicals a year from various sources! One source, albeit a small source, is synthetic supplements. Many of the synthetic supplements use additives, food allergens, artificial coloring, binding agents, coating agents and flavoring, which are chemicals and could cause allergies. Many of them use shellac as a coating agent. The use of shellac is unhealthy as it can leave a residue in the GI tract. In contrast, a good herbal supplement contains no chemicals.

Many herbal supplements contain natural whole food sources of nutrition. Our bodies are made to get their nutrients from natural sources. Nutrients, in their natural form in food, are found with other nutrients and all of them work in synergy to impart maximum nutrition. In contrast, synthetic supplements provide nutrients in isolation. Your body may not be able recognize or fully utilize isolated nutrients.. For example, a synthetic supplement may only contain beta-carotone (an antioxidant) which is just one caretenoid in a group of caretenoids. In contrast, carrot powder contains the whole group of caretenoids, all of which are necessary to impart health benefits to the body. Therefore, in most cases herbal supplements are the better choice when it comes to getting the most nutrition from your supplements.

Herbal supplements on par with certain pharmaceutical drugs With more evidence from scientific research supporting their medicinal properties, many of the herbs available in our market today are considered to be on par with their synthetic counterparts in terms of their effectiveness. Aspirin is actually derived from the bark of the willow tree. The drug Taxol used in cancer treatment is derived from the Pacific yew tree. Salicin from the white willow is used as anti-inflammatory. Resveratrol, in particular, is being studied for its potential in replacing the drug statin in treating patients with high cholesterol levels. Even Bayers, a major pharmaceutical company has introduced a One-A-Day Cholesterol Plus containing phytosterols to help maintain cardiovascular health.

Herbal supplements are becoming the preferred choice for many people and may no longer be known as "alternate" treatment! Herbal supplements are used today by people who are concerned about their health and would like to enhance their chances to maintain healthy, active lifestyles for longer years to come. Always consult your doctor before taking herbal supplements.

44. Start Living Healthy In 2009!

Health and Nutrition From Whole Foods

The following paragraphs summarize the work of Supplements experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of Supplements. Heed their advice to avoid any Supplements surprises.  

Most of this information comes straight from the Supplements pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know.

If health and nutrition are at the top of your priority list (as they should be for all of us), a good vitamin supplement will provide you the best chance to attain optimal levels of both.

The challenge is this: Most people don't really know what a good vitamin is. Is it one of the many popular, over-the-counter drugstore vitamin supplements available on the market? Absolutely not. In fact, this type of daily vitamin (including multivitamins) can actually cause more harm than good. They are full of jagged little non-food rocks that can tear up the walls of your sensitive inner tissues, capillaries, and blood cells. They are not naturally recognized by the body as nutritional, and are eliminated as quickly as possible. In short, they simply end up as expensive urine.

Most of us who have taken these synthetic, macro-produced vitamin supplements have also been privy to discolored, neon-like urination and foul-tasting "vitamin burps." This stuff is fake, and your body knows it.

For extraordinary health & nutrition, make your vitamin supplement an all-natural, whole-food option. There is a world of difference! Because these supplements are derived from healthy plant sources (i.e. grasses, grains, stems, leaves, vegetables, roots, fruits, and berries), they are easily recognized and assimilated by your body. This gives you instant nutrition, and if the vitamin supplement is of a high enough quality, you'll feel absolutely incredible! 

Is there really any information about Supplements that is nonessential? We all see things from different angles, so something relatively insignificant to one may be crucial to another.

45. To Good Health!

Better Health In 2009

This interesting article addresses some of the key issues regarding Supplements. A careful reading of this material could make a big difference in how you think about Supplements. Those of you not familiar with the latest on Supplements now have at least a basic understanding. But there's more to come.

With medical breakthrough today, there are more and more health products available to promote and cure health problems and symptoms. Many doctors are recommending herbal supplements due to its effectiveness, affordable price, and safety. Usually such supplements are easy to get and you don't have to have prescriptions to buy it.

Here are 7 best practices you may consider before you buy and take any herbal (all-natural) supplement products:

#1 Product Research
Making adequate research on the product you are going to buy. Thanks to the unlimited resources on the Internet today that makes you easier to have accurate information about certain product. Invest a little time to do some research will prevent you from dissatisfaction later. Look for standardized herbal supplements, benefits, user's testimonials, side effects, etc.

#2 Company Reputations
Look for company reputation. Choose products made by large, reputable companies that have been in business a long time; developing and manufacturing the product to the highest standards possible for maximum effectiveness and qualities.

#3 Satisfaction Guarantee
Although some product claim to be effective with high successful rate, there are no product will deliver the same results to every individuals. Our body and metabolism system is unique in responding to herbal components. Make sure the product you are going to buy is backed by money back guarantee especially with expensive supplements. In case it does not work to you, you don't lose your money for nothing.

#4 Consult Your Doctor
If you have allergic to certain herbal, pregnant or breast-feeding, having surgery, younger than 18 or older than 65, or taking any medication then it is best to consult with your physician or doctor before taking herbal supplement.

#5 Reasonable Price
Unfortunately cheapest is not always best. It's true some all-natural supplements are overpriced for some reason. In botanical medicines realm, the higher price often reflects higher quality. Be balance between the price and the expected results you truly get what you pay for.

#6 Focus on Product
Do not be impressed by the sophisticated or good looking web site, give more focus to the product itself. You are going to buy and use the product not the web site!

#7 Buy Online
If possible, buy the product online instead of via traditional outlet. Your order will be processed without delay and get quicker service & delivery, extra bonuses and discount they offer on the web, select packages to suit your budget, and easy payment procedures. Make sure the payment web page is started by "https://" (with s) instead of "http://" (look at your browser address bar). The "s" letter means "secure socket layer", all information being sent & received are encrypted.

 

Knowing enough about Supplements to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about Supplements, you should have nothing to worry about.

Natural Herbal Supplements Are The Way To Go

The following paragraphs summarize the work of Natural,Herbal Supplements experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of Natural,Herbal Supplements. Heed their advice to avoid any Natural,Herbal Supplements surprises.

The quest for health and fitness is always worth it, and it makes complete sense. After all, what is living without them. Imagine a life which is lethargic and laden with illness. That's not living in its real sense. It is a dull, lifeless state, and would anybody want to be in that? Any person in their right senses certainly would not. It's energy which makes life worthwhile. And energy most often goes with good health. When one is energetic, it is easy for them to be zestful and enthusiastic. To be beaming with positivity and to face challenges head on.

All these can be had when one is at the peak of health. How can such a state be attained? One should well remember the pillars of wellness- regular exercise and a healthy diet. From then, until now they stand true to their claim. Exercise boosts the immune system as well as the proper functioning of body organs. It makes one more energetic, too, and feel good and confident. Exercise is always best complemented with a healthy diet. Food is what nourishes the body, and it can sustain or destroy. This is of course dependent on which kind of foods one is taking in.

It's garbage in and garbage out, they say. So when one constantly eats junk foods, their body will be full of junk. How can such a body be in a good state. By a healthy diet, it means eating good food- fruits and vegetables and other whole foods and the like. To this day, though, the pillars of good health may not be able to stand strong. They can get wobbly due to so many factors in the current mode of living. Such is why exercise and the diet need support. This support can be had with health supplementation. When it comes to this, though, a better sort of health supplements must be utilized.

For a better option of supplementation, there are natural and herbal supplements. Natural and herbal supplements are increasingly becoming popular owing to their ingredients. They are just that - organic and derived from nature. Being so, natural and herbal supplements can be more effective. What's more, they are not likely to have side effects. Many people now believe in natural and herbal supplements. Their ingredients have been tested by time - herbs and food components. Herbs and food components have long been used by societies for medicinal and health purposes. They may have disappeared from the scene for a while due to the advent of pharmaceuticals, but now they are making a comeback.

And the health conscious populace widely acknowledges them. It's because people realize that nature is the best healer. And natural and herbal supplements, they are nature's wonders encapsulized. So for optimum energy and for well-being, there are natural and herbal supplements. There are many sorts of them, though, and the buyer should always beware. They should be wary of being had by unscrupulous manufacturers selling low quality and counterfeit products. And finally, as much as they are safe, natural and herbal products are better taken with a doctor's permission.

It never hurts to be well-informed with the latest on Natural,Herbal Supplements. Compare what you've learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of Natural,Herbal Supplements.



48. Your Guide To Vitamins and Minerals

The Facts About Vitamins and Minerals

When most people think of Vitamins, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to Vitamins than just the basics.  The more authentic information about Vitamins you know, the more likely people are to consider you a Vitamins expert. Read on for even more Vitamins facts that you can share.

Your age, as well as your gender, says a lot about what vitamins your body craves and needs the most. Even though everyone can benefit from a taking a multivitamin, we all have specific needs once we get to a certain age. Children, teens, women and men all have various supplement needs during specific intervals in their lives. Here are some tips on helping you decide what some of the most crucial vitamins are for your age and gender.

For children, up to age 12, vitamins A, C and E are the most important. Vitamin A is essential for bone growth while vitamin C helps bones form collagen and aids iron absorption. Vitamin E is responsible for boosting immunity. For teens, ages 13-19, niacin, thiamin and riboflavin are very crucial. Riboflavin is responsible for supporting the immune system and encouraging healthy skin and hair. Thiamin helps relieve stress and niacin is responsible for maintaining a healthy complexion. Women during their child-bearing years can benefit greatly from folic acid. Folic acid stabilizes hormone levels and it plays a crucial role in fetal spine and brain development. Women during their post-menopausal age can benefit greatly from vitamin D and magnesium. Vitamin D is responsible for improving bone density and slowing down the progression of breast cancer; magnesium on the other hand helps bones absorb more calcium.

As for men's health, some of the most crucial supplements include vitamin C and lycopene. Vitamin C helps keep arteries strong thereby reducing the risk of a heart attack; whereas, lycopene is a powerful antioxidant which can help men fight off prostate issues. So as you can see there are countless vitamins and minerals out there, the key however, is finding the ones that are most beneficial for your age and gender. There are many herbal remedies and supplements available today; everything from weight control (diet pills) to appetite control can be treated naturally. Some of the best diet pills are 100% natural. Taking care of our bodies with vitamins, minerals, and herbs has never been easier.

Now you can be a confident expert on Vitamins. OK, maybe not an expert. But you should have something to bring to the table next time you join a discussion on Vitamins.

49. The Middle class is being attacked!

The trend is firmly entrenched with the outsourcing of good paying jobs.

White color jobs (IE: It services, software design, engineering, etc.), support and call centers, banks customer support, airlines phone sales counters, etc. going to India and other similar countries

Good paying blue caller jobs in the US are declining with manufacturing moving to China, Mexico and other countries.

At home jobs like construction, landscaping, farm labor, hotel services, etc. are being filled by illegal aliens.

So where does that leave us? In the middle fighting to maintain our life style.

Gas prices are soaring. The cost of living is on the rise. The value of the US dollar is dropping. Most of us in the middle class are burdened by crushing debt. And to make it worse we are being attacked from all sides!

We can blame ourselves. When was the last time you went shopping for clothes? Did you check the labels? Everything is from China, not the USA like it was not so long ago. And I bet you pay for everything with your credit cards.

Speaking of credit cards, we are guilty of buying ourselves into debt. This is part of the problem. Your home, your auto, your boat, etc. are all owned by the bank and you make payments every month from your shaky income to maintain this debt. By the way, if you own your home it is not an asset unless you are renting it out and not living in it, and if you are refinancing your home as the equity increases to pay off debt, you are following the fool's pursuit.

How would you like to seriously cut you monthly budget. It really isn't all that difficult, if you do one
simple thing; Join FreebieForce. This unique website will enable you to save a lot of money in a
very short period of time.
 
You can get free things like: toothpaste, shampoo, laundry detergent, food, hotel rooms, airline
flights and much much more. I couldn't believe all the free items available at FreebieForce.
I think you will be very suprised at how easy it is to get free things on this website.
 
All you need to do to get all these items is to go to FreebieForce and follow the directions to
sign-up, pay a monthly fee of only $9.95 a month and play the tutorials to learn how to use the
system and start saving money today.


71. Everything For Free

I have explored the idea behind FreebieForce and I think it is a great idea. There are a multitude of free items available to anyone who becomes a member. Some freebies are more valuable than others. You can pick and choose which freebies you want to get and on top of that, you get free money, too.
 
Just a few of the freebies you can get include $50 to test drive a car, $75-$200 to open a checking account etc. With only $9.95 per month, it already pays for itself. But wait, there’s more, you also have the potential to earn residual income.
 
They let you register to see all information for free before you decide to pay for it. If you don't like it, you can always cancel anytime. I like what I see so far, in fact, the very first week I went with cash deals to test it out and every single one paid out as promoted, so I am impressed.
 

I figure I already have close to $150. in cash and free products coming in the mail, so you cannot go wrong with FreebieForce, it is worth the $9.95 which is value no matter how little you use it. I also like the fact that the system makes it very effortless for your referrals to get signed up with you. They will enter via your page and then be placed in your team for free.
 
They don't have to pay anything just to try it out. Then once they decide to join and pay the monthly membership, they will have tons of free stuff to enjoy. There is no commitment either. FreebieForce is an amazing new program that has a product that everyone wants - Free Stuff! There is a ton of items that you can get for free if you just know where to find them. With FreebieForce you have direct access to the latest free deals, and are shown exactly what you need to do to get them.
 
I have seen other places where you can find some free items, but never before have I seen such a comprehensive list. You can get things like Travel, Jewelry, Electronics, Food & Entertaiment and even Money! Some members have gotten laptops, free airline travel, food items, event tickets, clothing, cell phones, hotel lodging, toys, and much, much more, all for only $10/month. It's an incredible value.
 
But wait, there's more...there is also an opportunity to generate cash by simply referring others to the program. Since SO many people want stuff for free, this program is taking the internet by storm, and it's experiencing some amazing growth. Thousands of people every day are checking out the website and are grabbing their free position while they check out the free offers. The pay plan is a 5 X 7 forced Matrix that can pay out good money every month. If you can just find 5 people that want stuff for free, and they each do the same, then you could fill this matrix. With a low $10 cost, and all this stuff for free, this program will explode. Right now huge net-workers are jumping on board, and bringing thousands with them.
 
My name is  Mike Rogers and I would like to invite you to reserve your free position now.

2. Tips for Business Success in Today's Tough Market Place
By Storm Castle

Does your company do business to business prospecting? Have you ever considered using an outbound telemarketing company? If you are wondering if your business will be able to endure the current economic troubles, this article is exactly what you need to read. There are six tips that can help your business find success even in a bad economy.

The following six tips are ways your company can not only survive, but thrive during tough economic times. Increasing your marketing budget, using the power of leverage, focusing your efforts where they will be most effective, properly training your employees, providing excellent customer service and keeping a positive attitude are all ways to keep your business profitable in difficult economic times.

The first way for increasing profits during a recession may sound backwards, but increasing the amount of money you spend on marketing your business instead of reducing it is one thing that can help your business make a profit during a recession. Countless businesses make the mistake of considering their marketing an expense instead of an investment and wind up destroying their businesses by cutting back in this area.

The second tip is to use the power of leverage by hiring a business to business prospecting company to do outbound telemarketing for your business. This helps your team use their time more wisely.

The next tip is to focus your efforts where they will be most effective, which is spending time closing sales. When the telemarketing programs do their job effectively your team can spend the majority of their time making sales which means increased profits for you.

The fourth tip involves properly training your employees to work with the highly qualified leads they receive from these lead generation companies. Proper training will help them make the most of these leads and sales will go through the roof regardless of what is happening in the economy.

The fifth tip for business success in tough economic times is to provide excellent customer service. Getting repeat business is much more cost effective and profitable than having to constantly prospect for new business so it is vital to keep your current customers happy.

The sixth and final tip for business success in tough economic times is keeping a positive attitude. People have a tendency to create the exact amount of success they believe they will and your positive attitude will be reflected in your employees' attitudes and achievements as well as your own.

Implementing the six ways listed above can help your business to increase profits during a recession. Business to business prospecting is one area to concentrate your marketing efforts in since this will make four of the six ways happen. Then all you have to worry about are the last two ways including treating your clients to outstanding service and maintaining an optimistic outlook.

4. Secret Exposed: How the Google Search Engine Really Works
By Henry Zeng

While we don't often think about - or even care - how the Google search engine works, it is very important for an online marketer who is using search engine optimization, or natural search marketing for their online business to understand the basic principles that drive Google.

There are three main parts to Google: Googlebot, The Indexer, and the Query Processor. Each of these three parts is crucial to online businesses, believe it or not. Let's take a deep look at each of these Google elements to see how they work.

Googlebot is the search engine spider that comes to your website and spiders your pages. It isn't an actual spider, of course.

It actually works more like a web browser by calling a server and requesting pages, and downloading them - just as you do when you open your browser, type in an URI, and then the web page loads.

Googlebot, however, is run by big number of computers and performs this task much faster than one user could on their home or work personal computer. And Googlebot doesn't know if a website exists until a URL is put into their Add URL form, or until they find a link point to that site on another web page.

When Googlebot comes to a page, they take all the links from that page, and put them in a queue for crawling, and repeat this process over and over again. Once Googlebot has found a link, and downloaded the page, it hands that page off to the Indexer.

The Indexer stores the pages in Google's Index Data base. The Index then sorts all of the pages in its data base, alphabetically, by looking at all of the keywords on the pages. The Indexer does not pay any attention to what Google calls stop words, such as is, on, or, why, how, etc. It just pays attention to more important keyword type words.

The Indexer, after Indexing pages, waits for the Google Query Processor to ask it for a list of documents. A keyword is given to the Query Processor, which in turn asks the Indexer for a list of stored websites contain that keyword.

The Indexer then supplies the Query processor with a list of the documents, and the Query processor presents the documents to the user who requested the keyphrase.

You see, each element is important to the others. It all starts with the Googlebot finding your web page link on another site, or by you going to Google and using the Add form to submit your site.

8. Adelaide Small Business Need SEO
By Dr S Ausman

There are no secrets on how to rank high with the major search engines because effective search engine optimizations are now immense. What is search engine optimization? Before we discuss that thing, you have to understand first how search engines work and a bit of know-how.

Search engines are into providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was used. They are sophisticated pieces of technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase. Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn't relate to the search term, or if the results are old. People expect the most up-to-date and fresh information that is useful to them.

Updating your website everyday and adding some materials will help you get noticed by the search engines. So, if you are going to sell any type of product or service online, you have to optimize your website for the search engines, in order to boost traffic and sales. It is because over 90% of your business will likely come directly from search engine results. And for that reason, it is absolutely important to optimize your site for search engines for you to have the greatest deals in the entire world.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process by which webmasters or online business owners utilize strategic copy to augment their website's status. It is certain that the internet has grown so fast over the years and the competition for the best search engine position has created an enormous market. Therefore, better understanding the fundamental elements of Search Engine Optimization is vital for an online business' success.

Making use of effective search engine optimization techniques will improve the page rank of your website. There are many tricks that can be used to increase page rank; the most effective method is to provide high quality content consistently. This seems like a simple concept but there are many websites that fails to provide content that visitors find interesting. Sites which provide content that are interesting, well-written and regularly updated create highly engaged visitors who are more likely to return to the website in the coming days. So, if you can set your website apart from those boring, lifeless sites then do it. You'll surely have a step closer to achieving high page rank through search engine optimization.

The next significant factor for an effective search engine optimization is to include keywords and phrases within your content. To make sure that you are properly targeting your market, you have to make sure that the keywords and phrases you have on your site are the keywords and phrase that your site is actually optimized for. The more keywords you use in your content, the more likely it is that online visitors will find your site when they do some research with those words. If you are unfailing with these techniques, then your overall search engine optimization will increase, boosting your page rank.

You should also have to develop a linking strategy as a part of your search engine optimization. Not only does this provide free advertising for your site, but it makes the impression that your site is imperative because of its affiliated links. For each link that you have pointing back to you, that is another chance for your potential customer to find you. The more inbound links that you have pointing to your site, the higher you will be ranked in the search engines.

Another is to develop a content stratagem. People who get to search from the internet are looking for information. The more information you provide for them and the more helpful it is, the more likely you will make the sale. Writing articles is the most effective way to build up content for your site. When writing articles to post on your site, make sure that you develop a clear means of arranging their content. You can do this by simply adding a new page to your site. This will allow room for extra articles to be added as you write them, and will allow you to build up an archive of articles which will maintain to draw online visitors. Make sure also that you have included your archived articles in a directory that is next to the root web of your site so that the search engines will catalog your online articles.

Always keep in mind that search engine optimization methods are important in developing your site's status. With that thing in mind, make sure that you write high-quality, keyword rich content and link your site to and from a deliberate family of other sites. These things will help improve your site's popularity and coerce increased business through your online business.

10. Get More Business with Autoresponders
By David Jessee

These days, most everyone is familiar with an autoresponder, although many don't know why they are beneficial to businesses. If you aren't familiar with autoresponders, you would probably find yourself amazed with them. An autoresponder can help your business by automatically emailing your clients and customers with a preset message that will help to increase your sales.

An autoresponder can help your list of clients grow, even send each one of them their own personalized email message. If you choose, you can also follow up each individual email with repeated emails, varying the content whenever you wish. These programs will also allow you to keep track of conversations, and send out broadcast email messages whenever you have news or new products to offer your clients.

As research in the past has shown, personalized email from autoresponders is a great way to boost your business. When you send a personalized email to one of your clients, the autoresponder by can address him or her by their name - which always makes a customer take notice. While you could do this yourself using traditional email, it could take you a few hours if you have a long list of customers.

Autoresponders make sending personalized email a snap. All you need to do is set up your email template, then select where you like the name to go. You can add everyone in your customer list to the autoresponder, which makes sending emails a snap. Once you have everything ready to go, all you need to do is send out the emails with one simple click. Best of all, you don't have to set it up again when you need to send out broadcast messages.

Although there are some people who will buy products after one or two emails, most people require about seven or eight emails before they will purchase anything. Autoresponders can really help you there, as they will do all of the emailing for you. You dont have to keep sending manual emails or anything like that. All you need to do is set up the email address, type in your preset message, and then feel free to send it as many times as you like.

Through the use of an autoresponder you can really boost your business. If you run an Internet marketing business, this tool will prove to be invaluable. You can spend less time sending messages and more time doing what you enjoy. If you've never tried an autoresponder before, you owe it yourself to check out everything they will do for you and your business. Online businesses can get a lot of emails on a daily basis, which is where the autoresponder will really start to shine and show you just how great of an asset it really is.

12. Adwords Management - 7 Keys to Success: Part 1
By George Kristopher

Most people advertising in Adwords today don't realize that they are losing tons of customers and leads all due to the fact that they don't know the 7 Key things they must do to set up a successful adwords campaign. If you follow these 7 key steps to setting up your adwords campaign, not only will your ad show up a lot higher in Google, but you'll also pay less per click than people advertising below you! Applying these 7 Crucial Steps will increase the amount of clicks you're getting per day and at the same time decrease the amount of money you're having to spend now!

Optimize Your Campaign For Google Are all of your keywords stuffed into one or just a few adgroups? Google hates it when campaigns are like this and determines that your campaign has 0 Relevancy! I know this strategy works, so for all of my clients I make their campaigns Super Relevant by taking each individual keyword and putting it in ad adgroup all on it's own! I know, it's days worth of work, but it reduces their click cost by an incredible amount! If you don't follow crucial step #1 you're going to be slapped! This means that Google will charge you insane amounts of money for your clicks and give your ads horrible placement.

Optimize your ads for Google The structure of your ads play a huge role in determining how much you pay per click. Just like in step #1 Google is obsessed with "Relevancy". Google's idea of a perfect ad actually has the keyword that was searched on show up twice in the ad; Once in the ad title, and once in the ad text. If Google see's that your ad displaying for the keyword, "injury attorney" actually has the keyword "injury attorney" appearing in your ad title and inyour ad text then Google is going to reward your ad for being perfectly relevant to the keyword that was searched on.

Google is going to reward you in two ways, 1) by charging you less per click and 2) by giving your ad a higher ad placement! But that's not all! Who searches on the keyword "injury attorney" will be more inclined to click on your ad because the actual keyword they searched on shows up twice in your ad! That means that by optimizing your ads you get more clicks, you spend less, AND you get higher ad placement! It's a win win situation!

You might ask, "Well how will I ever have time to write a super targeted ad like that for every keyword I have? That seems impossible!" Well, if you don't have time you should make time. My company write a super targeted ad for EVERY keyword that you have! It's a huge load of work, but we've found it's definitely worth it for our clients. Stay tuned for part 2 of this article series, on "Optimizing your site for Google and Keyword Swiping".

16. Google Gets Voice
Google GrandCentral has grown all up is being relaunched as Google Voice. This service will continue in beta testing with many new features. Grand Central was a start up "one-number access" telephone service that was purchased by Google soon after its debut.

This service will be styled similar to the Skype telephony business model, in that some of the calls are free, and international long distance will be offered at attractive rates way below what normal phone charges would be. As an example, calls to Canada reportedly will be one cent per minute.

This will be a great service for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small office/home office workers, which now includes distance workers, telecommuters and digital nomads. Get in line and queue up for a free Google Voice number.

From The Blogosphere:

Google Voice Blog: Moving to Google Voice!

We are happy to announce that we have made a number of improvements to GrandCentral and are relaunching the service as Google Voice.

17. Depression Cooking Teaches
Check out Google Trends this morning, and you will see that Great Depression Cooking tops the charts. The television news anchors are starting to own up to the fact that we are in a depression, and not just your ordinary run of the mill recession.

Imports are down 24% and the economy in the US alone shrank over 6% in just one month. If you think there is any good news in this, it probably is only the fact we need to learn to individually become self reliant again. We can't sustain an economy where the only growth is in government.

If you have already lost your job, and are scratching your head as to what you will do when the unemployment insurance runs out, you may have figured out that it probably won't be a job like you had before. We are headed back to a more mercantile style society, where we each make and trade goods and services. Do you believe you can now start your own small office-home office based on new skills found learned and linked on the Internet?

If you are on your own SOHO quest, you may want to consider investing in and learning about working online. In many ways it is a quite separate and parallel economy. Almost unrelated to what is happening in the real world sector.

An alternative avocation is taking up the art of Depression Style Cooking.




18. SpiderWeb Will Rock the Web
Whoa Baby! This blog is getting whiskers. Anyone that has followed my path will know that I now have been heavy into educating myself about Internet marketing. Thus, the reason for no posts.

But I have been busy investigating. One of the schemes is a beta program known as The SpideWeb Marketing System. If you have seen it in passing, but did not consider it...keep looking. This had the potential to be the next big monetizing scheme for the web.


Many have tried to create a self-sustained or auto-pilot system. This supposedly started out with 12 streams of income, but now has 22. I have a gut feeling you have to work it like any other business.

It still is in beta, so don't hope for much. I had numerous conversation with the owners and management team of this system about creating an inner circle training program. Alas, everyone wants something for nothing. You can generate free leads, but then you have to know what to do with them.

Check out my blog on the subject, too, at "The SpiderWeb System Information and Reviews".


19. How to Produce 365 Videos in One Year
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you have been involved in the blogosphere for long, you know that many bloggers are gravitating towards video aka Video blogs, Vlogs, Vidcasts, or a Video Podcast.

This is a heads up on Mark Wielgus at 45n5.com. Mark is on top of online trends, and I am here to tell you that he researches, tests, and reports on things you will come to appreciate on a daily basis. All the information in this post was gleaned from 45n5. My belief is that Mark combines some marketing savvy with geekdom knowhow. He even writes simple, but useful utility programs and then gives them away for free on the blog. Here is a recent link to one he dubs "Keyword Scrubber".

45n5.com has turned into one of the few blogs I simply must check out on a daily basis. Now Mark is committed to deciphering Affiliate Marketing as a top priority. Another project he is combining with this effort is his personal mission to produce and post a video every day in 2008.

I think with 365 videos in the planning, his little experiment is one to watch for trends, plus the techniques, tips and tricks he is bound to uncover along the way. So, if you want to make 365 videos in one year, watch this guy in 2008 and I think you will learn something.



20. Prioritize Your Blogging for 2008
(Archived in: Social Media Marketing Social Media Optimization)

Welcome to the New Year! I have been spending the last week planning for 2008, which has included changes to my blogging style. If you follow my blogs, you know that I have decided to concentrate on Digital Nomads and The Rugged Notebooks Blog as my main focus for blogging, and with less frequent posting to this blog and The Sovereign Journey.

This is not for a lack or loss of interest, but merely a necessity of time management. Regardless, my blog niche revolves around the central theme of mobility and using technology to be independent. So, you can always check back here and/or catch my more frequent updates at the Rugged Notebooks or Digital Nomads sites. My plan this year is to move to private domains.

One thing I have been doing is writing more focused posts...themed, if you will, or a series of posts on a subject of interest. Recently, this has had a major slant towards telecom, and in particular new gadgets like MagicJack and VoIP telephoney solutions like Google GrandCentral.

I am finding that being more focused on a particular subject area makes it easier and more interesting to research, test, review, and write. I think my readers appreciate it a well and it is helping in the SERPS.

If you are still blogging, drop me a line and let me know how you are getting on. There seems to have been a drop in the number of friends I met online in 2007 that have continued to blog, or scaled back like I have. -Digital Nomad


21. Twelve Step Program for Email Addicts
(Archived in: Online Usability Reviews)

I saw this over at the BigString 2.0 website and thought it was good advice. BigString is an interesting concept in itself, which I will let you discover for yourself. These 12 items have been edited somewhat, so not to get dinged for duplicate content. There were some typos in the original text anyway. Enjoy.

1. Do not send email when you are angry. Wait until you calm down before you send that email. Feelings and thoughts can be difficult to interpret and easily misconstrued.

2. Never send a sarcastic email that could be taken out of context. Sarcasm and email do not mix. You can easily offend someone in an email without intent to do so.

3. Do not send email gossip. You never know where the email will end up. Just make a commitment to yourself not to participate in any gossip.

4. Never end significant relationships via email. Email is the equivalent of an electronic paper trail. Not good for any sour ending, whether business or personal.

5. If you don't want your boss or coworkers to see it, better not send that email from work.

6. Never put anything in writing that may come back to haunt you. A good overall policy. Not just for email.

7. Never, ever, hit ‘Reply to All’ when you just want to send an email to one individual.

8. Don’t email pictures of yourself to others. Especially, online acquaintances and complete strangers.

9. Don’t make promises or commitments via email that you cannot or will not keep.

10. When you send attachments, be sure that you have selected the correct files and documents.

11. Good advice from New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, “Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email.â€

12. Try BigString recallable email. If you do happen to make errors...the recallable, erasable, and non-forwardable features will help to correct such mistakes.



22. How to Build 10-Minute Affiliate Website Mashups
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you are searching for ways to be innovative with your online marketing, then here is another plug for many of the ideas featured at 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. No, this is not a paid post.

This is the good stuff, it's an addendum to the post on "30 Websites in 30 Days", and Mark calls this his YouTube-Ebay-Amazon Affiliate Website Mashup Thingy.



I have had a few email exchanges with Mark, and these are a few of his cautionary thoughts by way of how he has explained the ideas behind how it should work. Most people will not succeed with this mashup concept, or any other website scripting without the underlying concept and knowledge (or experience from learning) of how to build such a niche site.

Cranking out "out of the box" and rubber stamp solutions is what everybody else is doing. Doing the same thing that everyone else is doing online will bring the same results...which happens to be not making any money online. This also happens to mirror Einstein's theory of insanity, and he was no dummy. It's also making many people wealthy for some pretty worthless online information products.

So, if you use the script out of the box, most of your money will be made from luck or successful keyword research (aka) what words and topics you use to build these niche minisites in mass production.

Now is the time to learn. Take the time to consider doing it right. - Digital Nomad


23. A SOHO Reprise of Honest Riches System
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

A 25 Year Old Entrepreneur Making a Living Online from Home


You probably have read about or heard of The Rich Jerk and Chis X of Day Job Killer. If not you better stop and do a Google search right now. About 2 years ago, Holly Mann, a young mother started to successfully market directly against high profile Internet marketing gurus like these guys.

Living in a foreign country with no job and few resources, Holly decided she could research, design, and deliver a kinder and gentler approach to online marketing. Evidently she found her niche selling "How-To" information, because she has become successful in a short period of time (well, a couple of years).

"Honest Riches 2" is a 95 page proven guide. Holly shows all the techniques she has used to make money online through affiliate programs starting with no website and no start-up money, then on to free websites that can easily be setup with little or no experience, including free advertising that most people don't know or think about.

Yes, it seems possible to make money online and work from home just about anywhere (Holly lives in Thailand), but don't quit your day job just yet. You need a system and you need the right tools and knowledge to be successful. Changing your career is a life altering decision.

Before taking the leap, do plenty of due diligence and adequate research for information and resources about starting an online business and becoming an online entrepreneur. This e-book is geared for beginners, but is a valuable resource for all online marketers. No "get-rich-quick" schemes here....like any real business endeavor, it involves some effort and some work. But you will learn strategies and techniques to start making money right away.

24. John Chow Calls It Quits on Agloco
(Archive in: Weblogs and Business)

After many attempts at beating a dead horse, everyone involved in the Agloco fiasco can now uncross their fingers. It ain't gonna happen. Even John Chow has finally admitted defeat along with almost 30,000 signed up in his Agloco network.


Here is a partial screenshot of his last post on the subject, and here is a link to the post about the Agloco demise at TechCruch. Like John says...it shows that all those MBAs don't always muster up success, even the second time around. For posterity, watch the video on the Agloco viewbar attributes, and think about all the gurus that were on board for this.



25. How to Build 30 Websites in 30 Days
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Online Usability)

It may sound implausible, but it is not impossible. Follow this Digital Nomad and you know that just feeding the blogs is not going to cut it anymore. Blogging should be part of your online marketing network, but not a diversion.

I have been searching heavy for the folks that are making it online and not the wannabes. One such source is 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. This guy tells it straight. You have to hunt an peck to find the good stuff, and you will have to piece it together, but I think a good start is on this website.

Mark will show you how to find a niche, create a website in 10 minutes, and then shove it in the pipeline with some SEO tricks. Theoretically, there is no reason why you could not do this everyday for a month and then have 30 minisites up and running for affiliate programs in thirty days. That's if you want to have a website between you and the merchant.



I am finding that you maybe don't even need a website to market affiliate programs, but you do have to commit to spending some money for Google Adword campaigns. Better have a pad and pen ready.

There is always something to learn. Take the time to learn something new each day. - Digital Nomad


American Jobs: Going, Going...
Jane Birnbaum
2005
Reprinted from: AFLCIO.org

Corporations are escalating efforts to ship out jobs that pay well and build the middle class—and now they are aiming their axes at workers in the nation’s fast-growing white-collar sector.

The U.S. recession that began in March 2001 officially ended in November 2001, say the National Bureau of Economic Research and other analysts.

So why are so many workers still out of jobs?

“We’ve declared victory over the recession, and we’re still laying off a couple hundred thousand workers a month,” says Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.). “If it weren’t so painful for so many people who are out of work, it would be hilarious. But it isn’t.”

The U.S. economy has 3.2 million fewer jobs today than it did when President George W. Bush took office, including 2.5 million fewer manufacturing jobs. Bush appears headed for the dubious distinction of being the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a decline in total employment during his term in office.

In the past three years, nearly one in five U.S. workers was laid off from the job, according to The Disposable Worker: Living in a Job-Loss Economy, a Rutgers University¡V University of Connecticut report released in late July. Among workers laid off from full-time work, roughly one-fourth were earning less than $40,000 annually, the report finds.

In July, a total of 15 million U.S. workers were either unemployed, underemployed or too discouraged to job hunt, according to the Labor Department.

In contrast, within a year after the official end of the last recession in March 1991, the nation had embarked on six straight months of solid job growth.

This time, say economists, there are crucial differences: Companies are sending well-paying manufacturing and service jobs to countries with few, if any, protections for workers and the environment. And these jobs are probably not coming back.

“The movement of jobs and production overseas is handcuffing the recovery,” according to Mark Xandi, chief economist at Economy.com, as quoted in the New York Times.

“With NAFTA, the World Trade Organization and other trade deals of the last decade, American corporations are now tapping into a global supply of workers who can be trained to do everything from design to production, maintenance to marketing,” says Jeff Faux, economist and founding president of the Economic Policy Institute. “And while these workers become more productive, their pay doesn’t rise, because in many of these countries, to be a labor organizer means you risk winding up in a ditch with a bullet in your head.”

American jobs sent out of the country aren’t likely to return anytime soon. “As long as employers can take advantage of much lower labor costs in other countries, there’s no compelling reason to bring back many of these well-paying jobs,” says Ron Hira, an engineer and assistant professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. “Policymakers seem to be at a loss as to what to do about this problem.”

Meanwhile, the Bush administration directs multimillion-dollar tax cuts to the wealthy while supporting trade laws that encourage offshore outsourcing. And even as Bush opposes unemployment insurance extensions for some 1 million Americans who have exhausted their benefits, his administration refuses to embrace job-creating programs that would repair the nation’s infrastructure and help balance devastated state budgets.

“The Bush administration doesn’t seem to care about jobs,” says Center for Economic and Policy Research co-founder Dean Baker. “To retain and create jobs, there have to be policy changes, and I don’t think this administration is willing to make them.”

Manufacturing: America’s Foundation Is Crumbling
Photo Credit: Bill Burke/Page One
“American taxpayers...do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs.”
—USWA President Leo Gerard

Manufacturing jobs traditionally have provided high wages and good benefits that allow workers to care for their families. But 2.5 million manufacturing jobs have disappeared since President Bush took office in early 2001.

Multinational corporations are transferring jobs to countries where workers earn low wages and have few or no protections. And small U.S. businesses are laying off workers or shutting their doors because they can’t meet foreign competitors’ prices.

African American workers have been hit particularly hard. Because of manufacturing job losses, the unemployment rate among African Americans is rising twice as fast as it is for whites and faster than in any downturn since the mid-1970s. “The number of jobs and the types of jobs that have been lost has severely diminished the standing of many blacks in the middle class,” says William Lucy, president of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and AFSCME secretary-treasurer.

Manufacturing job loss starts the downward spiral

The loss of good manufacturing jobs has ripped apart communities and permanently lowered living standards for families throughout the United States, including in Rockford, Ill., 70 miles from Chicago. The northern Illinois city is historically second only to Cleveland as a center for machine tooling, the making of tools used in machine manufacturing.

Machine tooling, which traditionally employs the most highly skilled manufacturing workers including members of the Machinists and UAW, is the bedrock of America’s manufacturing industry.

But the bedrock is crumbling. The Rockford area lost more than 20 percent of its manufacturing jobs—about 10,000—between May 2000 and 2003, according to MBG Information Services President and Economist Charles McMillion’s analysis of Department of Labor data.
General manufacturing jobs have been among those lost in Rockford, including jobs held by Steelworkers Local 745 members at the Goodyear tire plant. USWA members at Goodyear now number 750, down from 1,650 in 1999, before the corporation shipped the jobs to Asia and South America.

But most manufacturing jobs lost in Rockford have been in machine tooling. At Greenlee/Textron, which makes drill bits and tools for electrical contractors, about 180 Machinists now represented by IAM Local 1553 are employed today, down from about 900 in the late 1980s. The 112-year-old crown jewel of Rockford machine tooling—Ingersoll International—declared bankruptcy this spring and laid off 300 employees in Rockford and 70 in Michigan, leaving only skeleton crews of managers and a few contract workers.

“The lesson of Rockford,” says Faux, “is it disproves the free traders’ argument that America could afford to lose manufacturing jobs in areas like textiles and steel because we would ultimately triumph in global competition by making the things hardest to make. In fact, those things are machine tools—and we’re losing them.”

A loss of manufacturing jobs reverberates throughout the community—and ultimately the nation. When manufacturing factories aren’t being built, maintained or expanded, jobs disappear in areas such as construction.

“Our union has about 30 percent unemployment,” says Mark Bramble, business agent for Electrical Workers Local 364 in Rockford. “Guys burn through their unemployment, lose all their benefits, get divorced and then go where the grass looks greener or settle for working as a greeter at Wal-Mart.”

A question of national security

There’s a sense of betrayal in Rockford these days. “Free trade was sold to America with the line that it helps us export more goods,” says Eric Anderberg, who manages his family’s 37-year-old machine tool company, Dial Machines Inc. “But what’s happened is the exportation of our jobs and means of production so multinational corporations can exploit foreign labor and sell their goods back to us.”

Today Dial employs 40 workers, down from 75 in the late 1990s. It recently lost work to a lower-bidding Czech Republic manufacturer that nabbed a contract making parts for a supplier of General Electric Wind Energy Corp.

Anderberg and other Rockford employers worry that a Chinese government-owned machine tooling company, which already has bought two divisions of Ingersoll International, may now be poised to buy another—one containing intellectual property, including high-level research and design and military technology. “I cannot understand how our government can justify not only the debasement of our manufacturing industries but also our national security in a time of war,” he says.

The Rockford community and U.S. national security would get a boost from Buy America provisions House Armed Services Committee Chair Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) added to legislation authorizing the 2004 Pentagon budget.

Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), who represents the Rockford area and helped write the bill, says, “The Pentagon wouldn’t care if everything it buys is made in China.” Joined by armsmakers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the White House says the Buy America provisions are “burdensome, counterproductive and have the potential to degrade U.S. military capabilities.” But the administration does not mention jobs.

“American steelworkers are also American taxpayers, and they do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs,” says USWA President Leo Gerard.

White-Collar Jobs: America’s Growing Export

Ask anyone which sector of the U.S. economy comes to mind as the most likely to be shipped overseas, and chances are he or she will say manufacturing.

But though the United States lost 2.5 million manufacturing jobs since the Bush presidency beginning in 2001, U.S. corporations now are racing to outsource white-collar jobs—including work in computer sciences, engineering, entertainment, financial and medical services—to countries where workers earn far less.

Terry Antisdel was a Chicago-area engineering associate for Lucent Technologies Inc. and its predecessor AT&T for 35 years until his entire 42-member International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 81 was laid off in July. He figures his job will end up in India or China. “The words management used were a 'less-expensive offshore site,’ ” recalls Antisdel, who estimates Lucent will send a total of about 5,000 U.S. jobs offshore this year. “I feel let down,” he says. “Companies used to provide jobs for people, but now they’re just there to give money to executives, board members and shareholders.”

In late July, the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (WashTech), a Communications Workers of America affiliated group that helps high-tech workers win a voice at work, released a tape of a conference call in which IBM’s top human relations executives discussed transferring 3 million U.S. service jobs to countries such as China and India by 2015.

Testifying in June before a House Committee on Small Business investigating the globalization of white-collar jobs, AFL-CIO Department for Professional Employees President Paul Almeida said, “If these cost-saving jobs shifts are taken to their logical extreme, even American corporations should be wondering where their future consumers will be located and how they will buy the goods and services.”

A Forrester Research study predicts U.S. employers will move about 3.3 million white-collar service jobs and $136 billion in wages overseas in the next 15 years, up from $4 billion in 2000.

White-collar jobs going and gone

The jobs already are leaving. By the end of this year, General Electric will have sent a total of 20,000 aircraft and medical research and design jobs to India and China, according to Business Week. And the Accenture consulting firm, which incorporated in Bermuda after splitting from Enron accountant Arthur Andersen, plans to send 5,000 accounting and software jobs to the Philippines in 2004, the magazine says.

According to WashTech, Microsoft plans to eliminate at least 800 full-time call-center jobs near Dallas and shift the work to India and Canada in the next fiscal year. It would be the largest one-time firing of full-time Microsoft employees in the company’s history. WashTech says a Microsoft senior vice president recently urged company managers to “pick something to move offshore today,” though Microsoft publicly has repeated it will not lay off U.S. workers and send the jobs offshore.

While the Bush administration remains silent about offshore outsourcing, states such as New Jersey are considering corrective measures. New Jersey legislators acted after the state outsourced the electronic administration of welfare and food stamp benefits to a company that then sent the jobs to India. When New Jersey citizens called to ask about benefits, they were connected with Indian workers who gave Americanized names.

A bill authored by state Assembly member Linda Greenstein (D) would have required such offshore subcontractors to disclose to New Jersey residents their employers’ true names and locations. But even this common- sense measure had no chance in the face
of massive opposition launched by Indian and American corporate interests, such as Verizon.

“We got a copy of an e-mail Verizon sent managers in New Jersey, thanking them for sending 1,800 e-mails opposing the bill,” says Don Rice, CWA’s New Jersey legislative coordinator. Activists and legislators hope to bring the bill to a vote before the legislative session ends this year.

U.S. security at stake

Offshore outsourcing of white-collar work also raises security concerns. U.S. firms are sending mapping and other such work to India, Pakistan, China, the Philippines and other countries with lower labor costs, says John Palatiello, administrator of the Council on Federal Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services.

“This practice raises issues regarding access to data about the location of¡Kcritical infrastructure by individuals in foreign countries who have not been through any degree of security clearance and where control of access to data simply does not exist.”

Bush’s January 2002 State of the Union address made clear the danger of access to data by unfriendly foreign operatives: “Our discoveries in Afghanistan confirmed our worst fears....We have found diagrams of American nuclear power plants and public water facilities¡Ksurveillance maps of American cities and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America.”

Activists are demanding Congress review trade and tax policies that encourage white-collar offshore outsourcing. Without government intervention, warns Almeida, “short-sighted corporate policy focused on saving a few bucks in the short run will have an enormous deleterious impact on the entire U.S. economy.”

Low-Wage Jobs: Betray America’s Workers

Photo Credit: Ernie Englander/The New Press

Laid-off U.S. workers thrust into a hostile job market are discovering another ugly part of the American economy: low-wage work that pays too little to keep even a small family out of poverty.

Nearly a quarter of all U.S. workers labor in jobs that pay little but are essential to society. Sixty percent of these workers are female, and many are people of color. They care for nursing home patients and clean offices at night. They prepare food, answer call-center phones and care for our children.

These jobs generally pay less than the $8.85 hourly wage the U.S. government says it takes to keep a family of four out of poverty. Even so, many low-wage jobs offer only part-time hours, with few or no benefits. And workers in low-paying but essential jobs often are treated as disposable, quickly fired if they get sick or stay home with a sick child.

As more good jobs leave the country, the percentage of low-wage jobs keeps growing. By 2010, about 30 percent of working Americans won’t be making even poverty wages, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A Labor Department list of the 10 occupations likely to show the largest job growth this decade is dominated by jobs that typically pay poorly—food preparation, customer service, office clerking, security and food service.

This world of low-wage jobs and the workers who do them is illuminated in The Betrayal of Work: How Low-Wage Jobs Fail 35 Million Americans, published on Labor Day by the New Press. “Traditionally, there was a promise in this country that if you worked hard, you could take care of your family,” explains author Beth Shulman, an attorney and former United Food and Commercial Workers vice president. “That promise has been broken¡Kand we have built our national prosperity on their backs.”

No job is inherently low wage

Workers in low-wage jobs frequently are labeled as lacking skills and in need of training to move into better-paying positions. But while education is a traditional route to higher pay, Shulman contends no job is inherently low wage.
“Take autoworkers, who had horrible jobs that became good ones because of unions and social legislation,” she says. “The same thing must happen with currently low-paying service- sector jobs. In Las Vegas, for example, the housekeeper represented by the Hotel Employees Restaurant Employees has decent wages and benefits thanks to unionization.”

Low-wage jobs tend to imprison the workers who perform them because of what Shulman calls a “piling on” of hardships. Workers in low-wage jobs are unlikely to have sick leave or health insurance or make enough money to afford reliable transportation or child day care. At the same time, they are likely to be in inflexible situations in which being late or missing work can result in a quick firing.

“It’s not just that you make less money in these jobs, but you have none of the basic things many of us take for granted, such as health insurance, time to care for a family member, adequate child care, some kind of retirement security, even a telephone,” Shulman says. “And this applies to one in four U.S. workers.”

Gap is growing between U.S. rich and poor

As low-wage work continues to replace jobs that pay well, the U.S. economy increasingly resembles that of a less-developed nation, with a wide gulf between rich and poor. Among all western industrialized nations, the United States has the greatest income and wage inequalities, with the best-paid 10 percent of workers making 16.6 times the amount made by the lowest-paid 10 percent, according to a 2003 analysis by the United Nations Development Program. “That’s the way we’ve been moving for some time now and continue to move,” says Heather Boushey, a Center for Economic and Policy Research economist.

To reverse this trend, the United States needs to change the rules of the game, according to Shulman. “For starters, we should immediately raise the minimum hourly wage to the poverty guideline for a family of four—$8.85 an hour versus the current $5.15 hourly federal minimum wage—and then have automatic increases so there’s not a big political battle every time it needs raising. Then, all Americans should have access to affordable health care. There are a variety of ways to do this, and we should just get it done.

“Finally, all American workers should be able to care for their children—to have access to affordable child care, and to stay with them when they’re sick or go to a PTA meeting without getting fired. The consequences for the children of today’s low-wage workers are enormous—they’re following their parents into this low-wage world.”


Companies in India celebrate
"loss of American jobs"
Mike Crane
December 2004
Reprinted from: Southern Party of Georgia website

In our previous article we reported how various companies in India were employed by the Republican National Committee and the Bush Re-election campaign (see: India claims big election victory and laughs at Americans).

One interesting comment that was documented in that article was:

As Vivek Paul, Wipro VC, said after the Presidential poll, “The elections are over and so is the rhetoric; it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans.”

Well a little research has found some estimates from within India about what that meant. First and foremost, it means that India is celebrating the "loss of American jobs." Folks, that is the jobs of friends, family or perhaps even your own.

Specifically on November 4, with time zone changes, roughly a day after the polls close the following was published in the India Times:

The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

And that is why they believe that "it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans." Does this mean that American companies put their plans on "hold" to minimize the impact on a close election?

But the folks in India gloat a little more:

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

A brief look at these numbers show what they call a documented American job loss of 48,237 for the first quarter of 2004. On an annual basis this would be 192,968 American jobs. And they expect American companies to now - step out - with their outsourcing plans.

Some will say that 192,968 jobs is not very many. But as you will see in coming articles that is just what is called BPO and is not the whole picture.

Lets look at the effect of three policies that affect American jobs:

  1. Outsourcing - In this article it has been shown that it is at least close to 200,00 jobs a year for the BPO segment and expected to increase
  2. H1-B visa program - allows high tech foreigners to take American jobs here without being counted in immigration totals. Used by many companies to train personnel for their foreign outsourcing programs. There are roughly a million H1-B visas active today.
  3. Legal immigration of about 1 million a year and illegal immigration of about 3 million a year resulting in lower American wages and increased social costs.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are paying the salaries of the elected and appointed officials who are doing this to you. Is this what you want to pay for? If so, why are you reading material on this web site?

If not, you are being ignored!

It should be obvious to all that this trend can not continue forever. Are there any signs that it is getting better:

A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

That should answer that question beyond a reasonable doubt. Interesting that 15% of the outsourcing chief executives favor Red China! Remember these are the folks that make the big campaign contributions that have so much influence on many of your elected officials. How will you feel when YOUR job is sent to Red China?

If you do not agree with these policies you are being ignored and your elected officials are representing special interests more than you! If you believe that this is a serious problem it is time to get involved now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be stop these destructive trends.

The BPO and your elected officials are doing offshore calculus, are you?

BPO biggies do offshore calculus
TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2004 02:13:09 PM]

India’s silicon valley is delighted to move out of the limelight. The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

BPO bigwigs are already computing the gains from mega-offshoring plans on hold waiting for US presidential race to be over.

Though most of the industry majors refuse to comment on who will safeguard their interests better, they feel that economic benefits of transfer of jobs to low cost destinations will now overshadow the political rhetoric against outsourcing in the run up to the US poll.

The US presidential election was fueling the protests against job losses due to transfer of jobs.

“American law will remain the same and the outsourcing will go up irrespective of who wins. Already, we see our clients getting ready for bigger offshoring plans,’’ says head of a leading Delhi-based BPO firm. Insiders also feel the American clients might be more open to talk about their outsourcing plans to low-cost destinations like India now.

Though Kerry’s tax proposals that seek to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas could deter fence-sitter, analysts feel they are no more than short-term sentiment dampeners. After initially branding the shipping of jobs to countries like India and China as a threat to the US economy, Kerry has gone on record saying he can’t stop outsourcing.

Clearly, what is of greater concern is that a clear decision comes soon, irrespective of whether it favours Bush or Kerry. Though Bush is more popular, the $ 2.6 billion BPO industry is convinced that “it will soon be difficult to differentiate between Democrats and Republicans.

Obviously sector’s fate is closely tied up with the US elections, with US accounting for over 70 % of India’s IT exports. A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

 


Costly Trade With China
Millions of U.S. jobs displaced
Robert E. Scott
October 9, 2007
Reprinted from: Economic Policy Institute

Contrary to the predictions of its supporters, China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed to reduce its trade surplus with the United States or increase overall U.S. employment. The rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 1997 and 2006 has displaced production that could have supported 2,166,000 U.S. jobs. Most of these jobs (1.8 million) have been lost since China entered the WTO in 2001. Between 1997 and 2001, growing trade deficits displaced an average of 101,000 jobs per year, or slightly more than the total employment in Manchester, New Hampshire. Since China entered the WTO in 2001, job losses increased to an average of 353,000 per year—more than the total employment in greater Akron, Ohio. Between 2001 and 2006, jobs were displaced in every state and the District of Columbia. Nearly three-quarters of the jobs displaced were in manufacturing industries. Simply put, the promised benefits of trade liberalization with China have been unfulfilled.

As a matter of policy, China tightly pegs its currency's value to that of the dollar at a rate that encourages a large bilateral surplus with the United States. Maintaining this peg required the purchase of about $200 billion in U.S. Treasury Bills and other securities in 2006 alone.1 This intervention makes the yuan artificially cheap and provides an effective subsidy on Chinese exports; best estimates are that the rate of this effective subsidy is roughly 40%. China also engages in extensive suppression of labor rights; it has been estimated that wages in China would be 47% to 85% higher in the absence of labor repression. China has also been accused of massive direct subsidization of export production. Finally, it maintains strict, non-tariff barriers to imports. As a result, China's exports to the United States of $288 billion in 2006 were six times greater than U.S. exports to China, which were only $52 billion (Table 1). China's trade surplus was responsible for 42.6% of the United States' total, non-oil trade deficit. This is by far the United States' most imbalanced trading relationship. Unless and until China revalues (raises) the yuan and eliminates these other trade distortions, the U.S. trade deficit and job losses will continue to grow rapidly in the future.

Major findings of this study:

  • The 1.8 million jobs opportunities lost nationwide since 2001 are distributed among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with the biggest losers, in numeric terms: California (-269,300), Texas (-136,900), New York (-105,900), Illinois (-79,900), Pennsylvania (-78,200), North Carolina (-77,200), Florida (-71,900), Ohio (-66,100), Georgia (-60,400), and Massachusetts (-59,300) (Table 2A).

  • The 10 hardest-hit states, as a share of total state employment, are: New Hampshire (-13,000, -2.1%), North Carolina (-77,200, -2.0%), California (-269,300, -1.8%), Massachusetts (-59,300, -1.8%), Rhode Island (-8,400, -1.8%), South Carolina (-29,200, -1.6%), Vermont (-4,900, -1.6%), Oregon (-25,700, -1.6%), Indiana (-45,200, -1.5%), and Georgia (-60,400, -1.5%) (Table 2B).

China's entry into the WTO was supposed to bring it into compliance with an enforceable, rules-based regime, which would require that it open its markets to imports from the United States and other nations. The United States also negotiated a series of special safeguard measures designed to limit the disruptive effects of surging Chinese imports on domestic producers. However, the core of the agreement failed to include any protections to maintain or improve labor or environmental standards. As a result, China's entry into the WTO has further tilted the international economic playing field against domestic workers and firms, and in favor of multinational companies (MNCs) from the United States and other countries, and state- and privately-owned exporters in China. This has increased the global "race to the bottom" in wages and environmental quality and caused the closing of thousands of U.S. factories, decimating employment in a wide range of communities, states, and entire regions of the United States.

False promises

Proponents of China's entry into the WTO frequently claimed that it would create jobs in the United States, increase U.S. exports, and improve the trade deficit with China. President Clinton claimed that the agreement allowing China into the WTO, which was negotiated during his administration, "creates a win-win result for both countries" (Clinton 2000, 9). He argued that exports to China "now support hundreds of thousands of American jobs" and that "these figures can grow substantially with the new access to the Chinese market the WTO agreement creates" (Clinton 2000, 10). Others in the White House, such as Kenneth Liberthal, the special advisor to the president and senior director for Asia affairs at the National Security Council, echoed Clinton's assessment:

Let's be clear as to why a trade deficit might decrease in the short term. China exports far more to the U.S. than it imports [from] the U.S….It will not grow as much as it would have grown without this agreement and over time clearly it will shrink with this agreement.2

Promises about jobs and exports misrepresented the real effects of trade on the U.S. economy: trade both creates and destroys jobs. Increases in U.S. exports tend to create jobs in the United States, but increases in imports tend to destroy jobs as imports displace goods that otherwise would have been made in the United States by domestic workers.

The impact of changes in trade on employment is estimated here by calculating the labor content of changes in the trade balance—the difference between exports and imports. Each $1 billion in computer exports to China from the United States supports American jobs. However, each $1 billion in computer imports from China displaces those American workers, who would have been employed making them in the United States. On balance, the net employment effect of trade flows depends on the growth in the trade deficit; not just exports. Another critically important promise made by the promoters of liberalized U.S.-China trade was that the United States would benefit because of increased exports to a large and growing consumer market in China. This market, in turn, was to be based on an expansion of the middle class that, it was claimed, would grow rapidly due to the wealth created in China by its entry into the WTO. However, the increase in U.S. exports to China has been overwhelmed by the growth of U.S. imports, as shown below.

Growing trade deficits and job losses

The U.S. trade deficit with China has increased from $50 billion in 1997 to $235 billion in 2006, an increase of $185 billion, as shown in Table 1. Between 1997 and 2001, prior to China's entry into the WTO, the deficit increased $9 billion per year on average. Between 2001 and 2006, after China entered the WTO, the deficit increased $30 billion per year on average.

While it is true that exports support jobs in the United States, it is equally true that imports displace them. The net effect of trade flows on employment must look at the trade balance. The employment impacts of growing trade deficits are estimated in this paper using an input-output model that estimates the direct and indirect labor requirements of producing output in a given domestic industry. The model includes 200 U.S. industries, 86 of which are in the manufacturing sector (see this paper's methodology appendix for further details).3

The model estimates the labor that would be required to produce a given volume of exports, and the labor that is displaced when a given volume of imports is substituted for domestic output.4 The job losses presented here represent an estimate of what sectoral employment levels would have been in the absence of growing trade deficits.5

U.S. exports to China in 1997 supported 138,000 jobs, but U.S. imports displaced production that would have supported 736,000 jobs, as shown in the bottom half of Table 1. Therefore, the $49 billion trade deficit in 1997 displaced 736,300 jobs in that year. Job displacement rose to 1,000,000 jobs in 2001 and 2,763,000 in 2006. Prior to China's entry into the WTO, an average of 101,000 jobs per year were displaced by growing trade deficits between 1997 and 2001. After 2001, an average of 353,000 jobs per year were lost.

Growth in trade deficits with China has reduced demand for goods produced in every region of the United States and has led to job displacement in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as shown in Table 2A and Figure A.6 More than 100,000 jobs were lost in California, Texas, and New York each. Jobs displaced due to growing deficits with China equaled or exceeded 2.0% of total employment in states such as North Carolina and New Hampshire, as shown in Table 2B. An alphabetical list of job losses by state is shown in Table 2C.

Figure A

Table 2c

Growing trade deficits with China have clearly reduced domestic employment in traded goods industries, especially in the manufacturing sector, which has been hard hit by plant closings and job losses. Workers displaced by trade from the manufacturing sector have been shown to have particular difficulty in securing comparable employment elsewhere in the economy. More than one-third of workers displaced from manufacturing drop out of the labor force (Kletzer 2001, 101, Table D2). Average wages of those who secured re-employment fell 11% to 13%. Trade-related job displacement pushes many workers out of good jobs in manufacturing and other trade-related industries, often into lower-paying industries and frequently out of the labor market.

Some economists have quibbled with job-loss numbers extrapolated from trade flows, based on the presumption that aggregate employment levels in the United States are set by a broad range of macroeconomic influences, not just by trade flows. There is a grain of truth to this—the trade balance is but one of many variables affecting aggregate job creation in the United States.

That said, the employment impacts of trade identified in this paper can be interpreted as the "all else equal" effect of trade on domestic employment. The Federal Reserve, for example, may decide to cut interest rates to make up for job loss stemming from deteriorating trade balances (or any other economic influence), leaving net employment unchanged. This, however, does not change the fact that trade deficits by themselves are a net drain on employment.

Administration officials and other economists have argued that the capital inflow that is the mirror-image of trade deficits supports jobs in the United States by keeping interest rates lower than they would be absent this inflow. During the late 1990s, for example, these capital inflows fought rising trade deficits to a draw in terms of aggregate employment effects, and, through much of the 2000s recovery, interest-sensitive industries (housing and construction, for example) have surely expanded more than they would have absent foreign capital inflows. While these claims may be correct from a simple accounting standpoint, they do not support assertions that trade flows are a useless indicator of job loss.

First, and most simply, it is just not true that foreign capital inflows always make up trade-induced employment losses one-for-one. In the 2001 recession and the jobless recovery following, growing trade deficits accompanied aggregate job loss, even as interest rates scraped historical bottoms. Clearly, low interest rates do not always translate into enough growth in investment and consumption in interest-sensitive sectors to always sterilize the impact of growing trade deficits.

Second, the job-loss numbers identified in this report are a good measure of just how unbalanced the U.S. economy has become due to rising trade deficits. Tradable goods industries have hemorrhaged jobs, while interest-sensitive, often non-tradable, industries have seen rapid growth. At that point in the future when trade deficits begin to close (and this will happen—it is only a question of when and how), the U.S. economy will need to return many of the jobs displaced by rising trade deficits out of non-tradable and into tradable industries. Moving millions of workers back and forth between sectors is no mean trick, and accomplishing it without a recession in between will be hard; trying to do it after another couple of years of deficit growth—and an even more lopsided U.S. economy—will be even harder.

In short, while aggregate employment in the United States may well not respond job-for-job with the numbers reported in this paper on trade deficits with China, these numbers provide insight into how much harder other macroeconomic influences have to work to eliminate the employment drag from these deficits, and they provide a good (and ominous) measure of how lopsided employment growth in the U.S. economy has become owing to the unbalanced U.S.-China trade relationship.

Conclusion

The growing U.S. trade deficit with China has displaced huge numbers of jobs in the United States, and been a prime contributor to the crisis in manufacturing employment over the past six years. The current U.S.-China trade relationship is bad for both countries. The United States is piling up foreign debt, losing export capacity, and facing a more fragile macroeconomic environment. Meanwhile, China has become dependent on the U.S. consumer market for employment generation, has suppressed the purchasing power of its own middle class with a weak currency, and, most importantly, has held hundreds of billions of hard-currency reserves in low-yielding, risky assets, instead of investing them in public goods that could benefit Chinese households. Its repression of labor rights has suppressed wages, thus subsidizing its exports and making them artificially cheap. This relationship needs a fundamental change: addressing the exchange rate policies and labor standards issues in the Chinese economy are important first steps.

Methodology

This analysis utilizes an input-output model to estimate the relationships between changes in trade flows and production that could support domestic employment. The analysis covers trends in goods trade, which is dominated by manufactures. Services trade is not considered because of problems with the data, and because many of the services traded involve returns to capital and intellectual property that have little or no direct effect on employment. In addition, goods trade dominates the nation's international accounts.

This study uses the model developed in Rothstein and Scott (1997a and 1997b). This approach solves four problems that are prevalent in previous research on the employment effects of trade. Some studies look only at the effects of exports and ignore imports. Some studies include re-exports (transshipments)—goods produced outside the United States and shipped through this country to other nations—as U.S. exports. The trade data used in many studies is usually not adjusted for inflation. Finally, a single employment multiplier is often applied to all industries, despite differences in labor productivity and utilization.7

The model used here is based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment requirements tables, which were derived from the U.S. input-output tables that are published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. These tables are adjusted to 2000 price and productivity levels (BLS 2007b), in real, chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A base year with 2000 employment requirements was used to estimate the employment content of trade in all years covered in this study. This assumption was needed to control for the effects of technology. This technique isolates the effects of trade on employment from pure technology effects. This model is used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in goods trade flows in each of 200 industries. This study updates the 1987 input employment requirements table used in earlier reports in this series (Rothstein and Scott 1997a, 1997b).

This analysis requires four-digit, trade data based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (U.S. International Trade Commission 2007), deflated with industry-specific, chain-weighted price indices (BLS 2007a), which were updated using industry-specific producer price indexes (BLS 2007b).8 Trade data were downloaded from the U.S. International Trade Commission (2007) Web site in NAICS format. The data for 2006 are preliminary estimates; this report will be updated and expanded when the final 2006 trade data are released in June 2007. State-level employment effects are calculated by allocating imports and exports to the states on the basis of their share of four-digit, industry-level employment for 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau 2001).

The trade data were converted into chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A domestic employment requirements table for a particular base year was used to estimate the employment effects of trade in each year of the analysis, holding technology constant. The domestic employment requirement calculates the labor required to produce all of a given product within the United States. Thus, it reflects the complete labor content of output, including jobs indirectly supported in service industries. The base year of 2000 was chosen for this study because it was an approximate mid-point in the data covered in this study.

CPS data on employment by industry by was collected for each of the detailed sectors in the model. These data were used to calculate each state's share of national employment.

1. These purchases financed about one-quarter of the U.S. $857 billion current account deficit in 2006 (the broadest measure of all U.S. trade and income flows). But for these purchases, the reduced demand would have put significant downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. A substantial depreciation in the dollar would begin to improve the U.S. trade deficit within a few years.

3. See Ratner (2006) for a more complete, technical description of this model.

4. For the purposes of this report, it is necessary to distinguish between exports produced domestically and re-exports—which are goods produced in other countries, imported into the United States, and then re-exported to other countries, in this case to China. Since re-exports are not produced domestically, their production does not support domestic employment and they are excluded from the model used here. See Table 1 for information about the levels of U.S. re-exports to China in this period.

5. This model assumes that everything else is held constant and the results are counterfactual estimates.

6. See the methodology appendix for computational details.

7. Other studies—see California State World Trade Commission (1996), which finds 47,600 jobs created in California from increased trade with Canada alone—have allocated all employment effects to the home state of the exporting company. This is problematic, because the production—along with any attendant job effects—need not have taken place in the exporter's state. If a California dealer buys cars from Chrysler and sells them to China, these studies will find job creation in California. However, the cars are not made in California; so the employment effects should instead be attributed to Michigan and other state with high levels of auto industry production. Likewise, if the same firm buys auto parts from China, the loss of employment will occur in auto-industry states, not in California.

8. Industry-specific producer price indices are unavailable for certain industries between 2005 and 2006. In order to construct price deflators for all 200 BLS industries, we used a combination of commodity PPIs and industry PPIs. For instance, NAICS-based industry 3331 (which maps to BLS industry 72) is composed of agricultural, manufacturing, and mining machinery manufacturing. To compute a price index for this industry, a trade-weighted average of the commodity indices for agricultural machinery and construction machinery was used as a proxy for the industry PPI. Industry PPIs were used wherever available.


Outsourcing Not the Culprit in Manufacturing Job Loss
Wes Iversen
December 9th, 2003
Reprinted from:Automation World
Productivity gains spawned by factory automation are driving a worldwide decline in manufacturing jobs, even in developing nations, says researcher.

For many Americans, the word “outsourcing” conjures up images of manufacturing job decline. But the United States is far from alone in losing manufacturing employment, points out Dan Miklovic (shown above), vice president and research director at GartnerG2, the business research arm of Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. “Recent studies show that manufacturing jobs are declining everywhere,” said Miklovic, during a Nov. 17 panel discussion on outsourcing, part of a Global Media Summit sponsored by Rockwell Automation, Milwaukee.

Over the past decade, U.S. manufacturing jobs have declined by more than 11 percent, Miklovic noted. But at the same time, Japan’s manufacturing employment base has dropped by 16 percent, while the number of manufacturing jobs in countries including Brazil have declined by some 20 percent, he pointed out. “And one of the largest losers of manufacturing jobs has been China,” Miklovic added. “We like to pick on China and say that all of these jobs are going to China, but they’re losing jobs in manufacturing as well.”

The reason for the job losses? Miklovic summed it up in one word: automation. Through automation, he said, “we are really doing a good job of improving the productivity of people.”

Miklovic reminded media attendees at the panel session that 25 percent to 30 percent of the U.S. population was at one time involved in agricultural jobs. But today, only 3 percent of Americans work in agriculture, yet they have turned the United States into a net agricultural exporter, he noted. “The same thing is now happening in manufacturing,” Miklovic said. “Through automation, through improved productivity, we’re driving the number of jobs down on a global basis.”

Job loss in India

Confirmation came from another panel participant, K. Muralidharan, senior general manager for Sundram Fasteners Ltd., a major Indian automotive parts manufacturer. In India, he said, growing use of automation is holding down manufacturing job growth despite the large amount of outsourcing work that is flowing to the country. “I find that outsourcing in India has actually cost jobs in Indian industry, though in the long term, it will probably have a positive effect on employment,” Muralidharan said.

Manufacturing employment remains at about the same level in India today as it was during the recession of the late 1990s, according to Muralidharan. “The Indian economy is booming now, and it is predicted that in the next five years, the curve will only be upward. But still, the jobs and employment are not really growing at the same pace,” said Muralidharan. “The economies of scale that have been created due to outsourcing from developed countries have forced Indian industry to take on automation heavily, which was not the case about 10 years back,” he said.

GartnerG2’s Miklovic noted that the use of automation contributes to a cyclical situation in many industries. When a U.S. manufacturer develops a new product, for example, the company has first-mover advantage for a time. But in the next phase, when other manufacturers enter the market, competition often shifts to price. In response, some U.S. producers may move manufacturing offshore to developing nations, to take advantage of lower labor costs. However, said Miklovic, they frequently find that the level of automation and technology available in developing nations is less than that of the United States.

This means that U.S. manufacturers who then invest in sophisticated automation technology at home can gain the upper hand for a time over lower-priced imports, thanks to the higher quality product allowed by the automation, said Miklovic. But the automation technology used in the developing nations eventually catches up, giving products produced there the advantage, he added.

“We see this in semiconductors all the time,” Miklovic said. “Semiconductors typically have been produced in Japan and Taiwan. But now there is a booming semiconductor market that’s starting in China.” While the density and sophistication of semiconductor chips produced in China cannot yet match that of Japan and Taiwan, said Miklovic, China’s technology is moving in that direction.

“Automation only works for a period of time,” said Miklovic. The lesson for manufacturers is that they must continually reinvest in automation and innovation, he said. “If you stand still, ultimately you lose.”


Inetekk a USA company
Thomas Prendergast

Corporate Site: Inetekk.com, Inc.
Inetekk was built in America by Americans!

All programming done by Americans
Sure it cost us more to build the Inetekk technology by ourselves and outsourcing to US programmers and US software developers. The prospect of sending our work abroad was never a consideration. Primarily doing so we lose the security of proprietary development to another country were we have little if any legal control regardless of how cheap that option could be. Then quality and communications is another factor, but we are also sensitive to doing business within our culture because of the process of getting what we are looking for and having the ability to have laws in effect that protect our interest in getting just what we are paying for.

Customer support by Americans
We are constantly getting offers to do our work at deep discounts by these foreign nationals, primarily India, but we are not cheap price motivated. Even our support service is run by Americans in America. We may ad to our support from Australia, but that is because they can offer the needed time frame for that region, not a cost consideration, so we can offer 24/7 seamless support for our clientele. Plus we have many Australian and New Zealander subscribers using our services and we love their accents.

Collocation in San Jose, CA USA
When we first started building the Inetekk systems, we went from a shared server in Florida to needing our own servers. We could have co located our servers in a foreign company for 1/3rd the cost but we realized by doing so our proprietary technology and secured databases would be at risk. Not a good idea. So we contracted with a well know company in San Jose. This was expensive but a very good decision. As the Internet has grown, the necessity to keep your data well secured is of the utmost importance and again, keeping this service local has proved to be a very good decision.

Servers built in USA
As we started building our server farm, again quality and service were the key issue. We went to a local shop in San Diego and hired them to build them. The first server, unaware to us, was built from foreign parts and within weeks the server started having failure issues. From then on we have demanded that all parts be US made as best we could and we have never had issues since. Our farm now runs with US made servers like NetAps, Intel, etc.

IT services by Americans
As with any server farm and web systems, having good IT professional's is imperative, and again, we hired US IT database engineers and server engineers. Same reason as our security is key and far more important than cost. For example, to use foreign IT services cost around $10 per hour. US costs are around $150 per hour. In my humble opinion, you get what you pay for.

The bottom line is future forecasting. I subscribe to the belief that our customers deserve the very best. Not only in the quality of the service, or the best customer support, but also security and the dedication to keep Inetekk around for the long run delivering the very best.

It seems the the big corporations in the US have lost sight to this fact and are all heading for serious issues as they continue down this road to losing control of their companies to the quest for seeking the lowest prices regardless. Take the Mattel toy company for example. Not long ago all their toys were US built. Today, they have lost major market share because the toys the sell now coming from Red China are toxic and low quality. It is scandalous that our children are getting toys painted with lead paint.

The future is at risk.

Your job is secure if you are your boss
Bill Repp
October 14, 2007
Reprinted from: commercialappeal.com

Q: I've been out of work for nearly five months, and the prospect of getting a job in my field (mechanical engineering) doesn't look good -- unless I want to move my family across the country. I've always wanted to have my own business, but I'm worried about the comparative lack of job security that goes with it. What's your opinion? I'm over 50 and in good health. -- Deidre N.

A: You have a lot going for you: you've always wanted to have your own business, you're over 50, and you have good health. Security? You don't have it now, and you didn't have it when you got laid off. I don't think there's anything more secure today than working for yourself. Companies will cut any costs they have to just to stay in business, and the popular trend for the past several years has been to cut staff -- fast. And consider this: when you work for someone else -- big company or small -- only a few people -- your boss and one or two more managers -- control your future security. But with your own business, if you lose a few customers, you still have others to back you up. I've always thought that having my own business gives me more security, not less, than I'd have if I worked for someone else.

Another stunning fact of life: at 50, you're more likely to be more successful at hiring yourself than trying to convince someone else to do it. Fortune magazine once ran a cover story: "Finished at Forty," detailing the corporate trend of hiring younger people. As one CEO put it: "Why should I hang on to someone who's over 50? He's tired of the long hours and wants to spend more time with his family. He probably hasn't kept up with the newest technology. I have to pay him $75,000 a year or more, and he argues with me. I can hire someone in his 30's and pay him $35 to $40,000. He'll work 60 to 70 hours a week without complaining, and he won't argue with me. This is a no-brainer."

What Do YOU Want?

My best advice: do what feels right for YOU. When you're motivated and committed to a career you really like, the money and security usually take care of themselves. There's a big difference in putting in 50-60 hours a week into a job you love, and one you just feel so-so about. If you don't look forward to going to work when you get up in the morning, you're in the wrong job. Life is too short to work at a job you don't like.

Think carefully about how you want to spend one-third to half of the rest of your life (your waking hours). It you really think it's time to have your own business, then write your answers to these questions. They'll also form the foundation for a good business plan -- an absolute must if you want to succeed.

How would you describe your business (name, location, product/service?)

How would you describe your total target market -- the customers who will be willing to pay you for your products/services?

What industry, local, or consumer trends or needs will you react to?

How would you analyze, and then describe your competition (how many; current prices; their strengths/weaknesses)?

What are your marketing and business goals?

What are your first-year growth problems -- and how will you solve them?

What finances will you need to start the business and keep it going until it can stand on its own? How will you get them?

What's your operating plan for the next five years? (At least half of the new businesses started each year fail within the first 12 months. You must plan for a long-term business.)

What's your management plan to control and develop your basic operation/service?

What equipment, inventory, labor, space, overhead do you need?

Talk to Your Banker

Once your business plan is ready, prepare your personal financial statement (all your assets and liabilities). Next. prepare a projected balance sheet and profit and loss statement for your business -- at least for the first year. Then it's time to meet with your banker.

A good banker can advise you on the likelihood of your succeeding in getting a loan. He or she can point you in the right direction to get additional information. An excellent source for learning about starting your own business is on-line: Search for "sba.gov" and you'll discover a site that has all you need to know to write your business plan and finance your business. You'll even have models of nearly 100 business plans to study and benefit from. The rest is up to you -- and your energy and commitment.

I became Gold Veretekk member in April 2007 and just recently started working on SEO. Today I got #20 out of 438 million for submit or post on Google, #1 for submit or post classifieds out of 56.7 million and for submit or post classified I got #'s 1,2,5,21,26,27,39,41,45, and 46. I get good results also for submit or post classified ads, submit or post classified ads free, and submit or post classified ads free, online.

For the keywords free premium email leads I have the first 5 returns and the 10 return on page 1 of Google. I am anxious to see what this will start doing for me. This really is working!

Lonny Heiner


I am amazed at finding my website at the top of the list in Google. Try keywords "premium leads verified" to find my press release and my PremiumLeads.biz website. I also use the Veretekk SEO training to get my wife's website at the top for the key words "art and fine craft front range". Her website is Rosahnda.ws I thnk Veretekk is the best in teaching SEO and I do not find anyone else doing it. Other website builders give me the feeling that it is "optional" and they do not tell you where to get the training. Score a big one for Veretekk!

Veretekk Internet Marketing At Its Best

Today I had a pleasant surprised whilst researching for an article on the importance of personal branding to improve SEO results. I discovered that as a result in putting into practise what is preached by the trainers in Veretekk and by use of the Veretekk Search Engine Marketing Portals it is possible to get prominent positions in Google.

I was a Silver Veretekk member for two years before I discovered the power that lies within the Veretekk Marketing System. It is not an easy system to understand but with the expert help of trainers such as Butch Hamilton and Leo Silvestri, I began a journey which is leading me on the road to my goals.

My business is growing with out having to send out emails, surf for hours, join traffic exchanges and safe lists. My sites are taking on a life of their own and people are contacting me, and as this success is growing, I am able to pass on what I am learning to others and it is most rewarding.

I still have much to learn in this ever changing Internet world but can honestly say there is nothing to match the Veretekk Marketing System
