Email marketing has become one of the most inexpensive ways to keep in touch with your customer base without spending any money at all. Not only that but it has also become one of the most lucrative ways to make money online. Let’s take a look at the history.

Most of us jump on our work and personal computers several times each day to check our email. It has become an effective method of communication for work, personal relationships, and marketing.

You may have noticed you get more emails encouraging you to purchase items than ever before. This is because email marketing has come one of the most popular methods of reaching consumers who make purchases online.

Email come into existence in the 1990’s as the internet was starting to become more popular. Businesses quickly figured out this was a great way to reach customers. It was also less expensive than mailing out advertisements to homes.

By 1995 the number of email advertisements sent out that year was more than the number sent out by regular mail. Businesses spend a great deal of money creating email marketing campaigns that won’t be confused with spam.

In fact, email marketing hit a huge road block when spam filters became so popular. Many email marketing campaigns had to be revamped as they were being wiped out by the filters. Businesses were losing money on the marketing campaigns and not getting any results.

However savvy computer programmers and businesses soon learned that effective email marketing titles and headlines as well as using their real email address helped get the emails past the various spam filters.

The internet was once used for research, entertainment and work related functions. The idea of shopping online has become very convenient in our society. After all, it allows you to compare prices in a flash. Most of us are too busy to run from store to store. Shopping online has given those in remote locations the chance to get all the gadgets out there they desire.

It is only logical that consumers are paying more attention to email marketing since this is the method they are using to do a large portion of their shopping. Email marketing has become mainstream. Almost every website gives the consumer the opportunity to give their email address and consent to being solicited with email advertising.

On the other side of the coin are those who hate getting their email filled up with email marketing ploys. This is why every email sent from a business has to include a link that gives the consumer the opportunity to opt out. Businesses have to respect this choice made by the consumer and remove them from the mailing list. This was the result of legislation stepping in when the idea of email marketing started flooding every email address out there.

There are rules and laws in place now to protect consumers against having their privacy invaded. The penalty for violating these laws include expensive fines and the possibility of jail time.

However, with the acceptance of email marketing by consumers comes their demands for effective advertising that meets there needs. Getting the email to the consumer is only half of the battle. The information you send them has to grab their attention and entice them to take the link to your website and make a purchase.

Your email should be a teaser that it going to make the consumer curious enough to go directly to your website at that very moment. There is a lot of competition out there and businesses are having to come up with wittier and smarter email marketing campaigns to keep their consumers interested.

Email marketing will continue to evolve as those sending them have to find innovative ways to capture the attention of the consumer while getting ahead of their competition. Don’t expect email marketing to be replaced any time soon. It is anticipated 2.8 million dollars will be spent on email marketing campaigns in 2008.

With that volume comes more responsibility on the end of the businesses that use email marketing. Not only do they have to follow the laws and regulations set, they have to respect the consumer as well as appeal to them. Businesses know that email marketing is on the rise so they have no choice but to participate in it or be blown away by the competition.

If you do not know what your are doing prospecting leads it can make or break your whole entire business. You have to be strong to go through all the no’s in network marketing. You need to be ready you get chewed up and spit out. Been there done that.

How many times have you done this or had this done to you. You meet with someone or they meet with you, you start talking and the person or yourself won’t say the name of the company or the product involved or what you have to do or what it really takes. You or the other person is instructed to go to a presentation meeting to get all the information.

Not answering questions is a huge mistake, let’s take a look.

First of all if you meet with someone and they do not answer your questions or vice versa at that point people do not want to hear another word, it’s over. If you do not answer the questions it breeds suspicion in the other person and they put the wall up and do not want to hear it, because it sounds like an excuse. There is a sense of mistrust and deception. You have totally lost that prospect.

Not only that but they have probably heard it all before from someone else. So you come along and do the same thing which again turns them off. The wrong way to start an appointment is avoid the questions. People have been doing network marketing for years and failing and dropping out of the business incredibly disappointed because of this.

I personally answer any and all questions I do not avoid the question. You just have to be taught how to answer the questions so you feel comfortable and confident in your approach.

Now a days people are very busy they do not want to drive all over town to a presentation to get all the answers. Husbands and wives and families with kids, people lead such busy lives and may not have the time especially if you are avoiding questions. You can always have them listen into a conference call, it is a lot more convenient. If you can not answer the question get someone who can but do not avoid the question.

Network marketing is probably the greatest business model in business history and people are totally messing it up. Only because they are being taught the wrong way by other people who were taught to prospect the wrong way and so on and so on.

Basically I think why this is happening in network marketing is that there is not a strong sense of belief in the person doing the presenting about what they are doing. There is such a bad stereotype with his business model people are scared to present it fearing the response they will get. If you do not have a strong belief about what you are doing neither will the other person. They sense your lack of belief. Especially with new people who have no experience.

This is a great obstacle to over come for most people in network marketing and most people do not overcome it, they fail and drop out of the business, their dream are shattered. They then tell everyone their experience and the bad word gets around. The way to overcome this is to get the right training and get a real picture of what it takes to make it in this business.

          It is a sad fact but may be very true when you are ready to retire. I think it is pretty obvious that most people can not live on Social Security alone. Unfortunately it is only getting worse.

  Let me explain why.

Just think how many people do you know that live on Social Security and can not even pay their daily bills? Not only that but most senior citizens can not even pay for their monthly medications with Social Security. The golden years do not seem so golden after all.

I know someone who works for Social Security and I hear the horror stories all the time, people suffering and struggling to just get by. Most people who do not deserve it get it and those who need SS can’t get it. The whole system is failing the American people.

How did the system get like this? It is falling apart because back in the 1980s when the saving and loan bailout happened  the government had to get the money from somewhere. They borrowed billions of dollars from Social Security fund which to this day has never been put back. The same thing is happening now with the mortgage banks crashing and now we have to borrow money from other countries just to stay afloat.

Something is very wrong. So it is apparent that you can’t depend on our Government for your standard of living. Who would want to live off Government subsidy anyways? Sadly enough plenty of people.

The economic experts are now saying you will need at least a few million dollars to retire comfortably. Not many people in this day and age have that kind of money saved up. Maybe many years ago a person could work one job and retire with a pension and Social Security. That does not seen to be the case anymore, because most pensions have been replaced with the 401k so big companies can save more money and make more profits.

I was watching the Charlie Rose show the other day and the guest was a former Secretary of State and what he was saying was and I quote  “Social Security will be bankrupt in 10 years.” I know people who work for Social Security and it is already struggling to keep up, it probably won’t even last 10 years. The system is paying out more money than it is bringing in. This is business 101 you don’t spend more than you make you go broke, no business would last. Unfortunately this is what our Government has been doing for years and we will be left with a broken down system.

   So you see if you are in your 30s, 40s or even 50s Social Security may not be there for you and your family. You really need to think about this now and not wait until the last minute. It is far too important. So the question is how do you make enough money for retirement when your job is not enough?

Paychecks just can’t seem to keep up anymore. Inflation is running ramped and the US Government does not seem to be doing anything about it, not surprising. That is why we are in the mess we are in now, Thanks Washington.

So basically oil is at an all time high which means big oil companies are making windfall profits hand over fist. Unfortunately this also brings the price of everything else up also and we are paying for it big time. It effects every aspect of everyday life for everyone, no one is immune. No more endless shopping sprees.

Where are we really headed? Chances are things are only going to get worse before they get better. The so called experts are saying that we have not even hit the bottom of the housing market yet. Sounds like it is going to be a real low bottom. It is a shame that thousands people all over America are continuing to lose their houses. This is not supposed to be happening here in the US the land of opportunity, something is very wrong.

So the real question is how bad is it going to get? Does anyone really know? I think there are people who do know in some think tank somewhere. I usually think of the worst case scenario just to prepare in case the worst does happen. Just imagine if something like the Great Depression happened now it would make the 1920s depression look like a tea party. I am not saying it is going to happen but just imagine if it did.

Let’s take a look at our Government for a minute. What do you think they are going to do to help us, apparently nothing. They are to busy bailing out big banks and keeping their positions of power and prestige. Washington is just sitting back and watching it all happen. They don’t even seem to know what to do.

It is going to take a few years to get things back on track in the housing market and the economy. I guess we will have to see how all this plays out. You basically are going to have to take care of yourself. It is every man and woman for themselves now.

In the meantime Listen to FREE audio that describes the financial condition of America you will not here in the news and that the US Government will not tell you about and “what you can do about it.”

     Getting listed quickly in search engines is something every web site owner wants to do. Lots of site owners don’t really know how to do this, though. Fortunately for them, there are several ways to getting listed quickly, all of which we will go over in this article. These ways include submitting the URL, using keywords, using links, and using blogs to get listed quick.

Tip #1: Submit your URL manually to search engines

Search engines like Google, Altavista and Yahoo all have options for you to manually submit your site. Before submitting, however, it is important to make sure of the following:

1. All pages on your site are complete. Search engine spiders won’t touch incomplete sites.

2. Your site is not full of spam and/or excessive use of keywords. Yet again, spiders won’t touch spam sites, which means your site will be skipped over if it contains lots of spam.

When you submit the site, make sure to submit it only once to each search engine. Submitting multiple times to the same search engine will get you no where. In fact, they might keep your site from ever having a chance at being listed on the search engine.

Tip #2: Use keywords to get spiders to come to your site

Search engine spiders absolutely love sites with good, well-placed and well-used keywords and key phrases. In other newsletters, we have covered the correct use of keywords and key phrases, so you might already be familiar with it. If not, we’ll briefly touch on it right now.

Keywords are words that are used frequently on a site that search engines look for. The key to correct usage of keywords is to make them fit naturally throughout a piece of content and not look like spam. Before writing your content for your site, take

a second to decide what the content is about. Then make a list of keywords or key phrases that seem to fit with the topic at hand. Next, write the content and try to sprinkle in the

keywords or key phrases throughout the content in a natural, non-distracting way. When you are done writing the content, you should count the number of keywords or key phrases. Then divide that by the total number of words in content. If the number you

get is between 1-3%, you’re good to go. If it’s below 1%, try to naturally add in keywords or key phrases. If it’s above 5%, try to take out keywords or key phrases. Aim for the perfect balance of between 1 and 3%.

Tip #3: Use links

Having another site link to you will make spiders that visit the first site come to your site as a result of the link. Many owners of sites related to yours are happy to post a link to

your site on their links page. Some might require what is called “reciprocal linking”. This basically means that if they place a link to your site on their page, they want you to return the favor by posting a link to their page on your site. Doing so helps both sites better gain the attention of search engine spiders and helps them both to get listed quickly.

Tip #4: Install a blog on your site

Blogs are extremely popular and quickly listed by search engines. Places like Google are known to index(or list a site/blog) far faster than they list regular web sites. Blogs

are listed by search engines like Google within days of being created, whereas it can take weeks and months for search engines to notice a site.

Installing a blog on your site is really easy. All you have to do is install a program such as WordPress on your web site and then use that to make blog postings. If you run a sports site, for instance, you could try making twice a week posts on the blog about sports news. Doing so will help your site as a whole get noticed quicker by search engines.

If you apply just one of the tips above to your web site, you will get listed quicker than expected.

What is the Iraq war all about anyways? Is it about freeom and Democracy or just about big muti-national companies making huge profits at the expense of the Iraqi people? I believe the latter. Let’s take a look.

Many people may not know this but the war in Iraq was drafted 8 or 9 months before 911. The maps were drawn up of the oil fields in Iraq. So is this another war over oil? It looks like it. Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was just an excuse to go over there and watch the oil fields. Now as you may have already heard it is all over the news media that the American people were lied to about the cause of going to war with Iraq. The American people do not like the war it is the Government that is keeping it going.

Here are a few more tid bits you may not know about simply because the news media will not tell you or the Government won’t tell us either.

Well we all know about Halliburton the big oil company Dick Cheney used to work for. We have all figured this one out, this is a no brainer. He has positioned his previous company to make billions off this war. My prediction is that he will go work for them again after he is out of office which he should have never been in to begin with. If you are with big oil you do not belong in any official political position period.

Not many people know about this one at all. There are 3 international banks that own the banking system in Iraq. Meaning that the Iraqi people do not own their own banking, money system or even interest rates.. Imagine that they do not control their own financial destiny 3 outside international banks do. I wonder if the Iraqi people even know about this. This does not sound like Democracy and freedom to me. Which means that these 3 outside banks stand to make billions in profits. I bet you have not heard that in the news. Well here in America we don’t even control our own interest rate either.

Here is another juicy tid bit. This may still be in effect or not it was a few years ago. There are no tarrifs for products coming into Iraq. Which means that products and services coming into Iraq are not taxed. Now no country in their right mind would ever let products come in without any tarrif tax attatched to. This is revenue for the country. Every soveirgn country has tarrifs for products coming in. Once again Iraq loses millions of dollars while companies save money by not paying taxes.

Here is one more and the last one for now. If they were allowed to and being allowed to is the operative word here Iraq could pump out more oil than Saudi Arabia. Which means oil prices would drop and big oil companies would lose big profits and Saudi Arabia would lose power and status which would be ok with me. You see Iraq is not being allowed to pump out the amount of oil they want to. They are being controlled not to pump out oil by OPEC and the other big oil producers. They want the oil to stay in the ground. Once again the Irqai people have no control over there own future. It is being controlled by others.

This is only a small piece of the puzzle of how Iraq is losing control over there own destiny. So if they are being controlled how much freedom democracy do they really have? Not much at all, only the amount they are allowed to have. So there are multi-national companies making millions and billions off the Iraq war. I guess crime does pay after all.

Don’y be shy leave a comment.

Oil prices continue to rise each and every week. Nobody knows where it is going to end it just keeps going up. We are told that there is an oil shortage and that is why prices are going through the roof. Is that what is really happening? Let’s take a look.

In Iceland gas is $8.00 a gallon. In Europe it is anywhere from $6.00-$7.00 a gallon. Based on those numbers it does not seem to be too bad here in the US. Either way globally we are all feeling the pinch on our own personal finances. It is effecting everyone in every area of our daily lives and is only getting worse.

Big oil companies and OPEC control the whole entire situation. Who gave these people all the power to control everyone else’s lives? They are the ones who control oil on a global scale. Iraq could actually pump out more oil than Saudi Arabia if they were allowed. Which would bring oil prices down. Which also means that big oil companies would not make as much of a profit.

So there is a ton of oil sitting there in Iraq not being used. That does not sound like a shortage to me. The big oil companies and countries are enjoying history making profits and they are not about to give that up. It is all about bottom dollar profits, profits first, people last. It is a game of power and the average person is losing. More money for them less money in our pockets.

It is true that we are now using more oil than before because of growing countries, the demand is higher. So if the demand is higher why not make more supply available to keep up with demand.

We are led to believe that there is not as much oil as there was in previous decades. Is this propaganda or is it true? Well for one thing there are oil deposits all over the world that are not being tapped into. Here in the US we have oil reserves all over the country not being used with tons of oil just sitting there. There is not an oil shortage at least not right now. There seems to be plenty of oil it is just being rationed out for top dollar profits and for positions of power.

We are basically at the mercy of the big oil companies and there is nothing we can do about it, or is there?

In summary rising oil leads to higher prices at the pump and everywhere else. Every aspect of life is getting more expensive. Just driving to work is costing more without your paycheck going up. Who knows how bad things are going to get. You need to financially prepare.

      Pills                    VS.           Liquid

There are hundreds of nutritional supplements on the market today. The question is how do you know which ones to buy or not to buy? Which ones are the best? It all seems very confusing to the consumer. 

Let’s take a look.

First of all pills are the least effective. Although there are 2 kinds of pills, the hard pill and the capsule. The hard pill being the least effective because there are fillers to keep it’s shape and it takes time to breakdown in your body. There have been studies done and what was found was that most hard pills do not even breakdown in your body they just go right through. They go right through because the nutritional supplements were found in the sewage and obviously have no effect at all. The proof of this was that they found 1000s of supplements in the sewage system still in form not broken down.  Proof that some go right through you.

The capsule form fairs better because it is in powder form which means that it is mostly already broken down and more readily available for absorption by the body. So the capsule would be a better pill form.

Now there are powder form of nutritionals. These kind you mix in with water or some kind of liquid. Which break down much faster for absorption. Anything mixed with water is going to be used by the body faster. This definitely is better than pills form.

Which brings us to the liquid form which is by far the best kind of nutritional supplement. Several reasons for this is that it is already broken down and ready to use right away for the body. The fact that the base is already liquid and our body mostly consists of water makes it the perfect delivery. Which is why it absorbs in the body faster than any other kind of nutrition.

So to sum it up it is obvious that liquid form would be the best. The only question left is what kind of liquid nutritional supplement is the best kind. This is where you have to do your research to figure out what kind of quality standards and process it has gone through.
