  • Online Social Networking - The Right Way
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Networking] Online social networking is the new word of mouth marketing, albeit, in the electronic format. It is like you giving your friends a call and telling them about the amazing beauty treatment that you just got or you could be telling them about this amazing promotion going on...all free of charge, except for the amount that you are paying for your internet services.


  • How Interesting - Are You an Interesting Person?
    [Self-Improvement:Affirmations] Most of us, I am not saying all of us, want affirmation of some sort. I understand that some people may label that either as 'desperado' or 'get-a-life-syndrome' but you know what? It's not. It is actually quite normal for us to want to be interesting to other people.


  • Ways to Stop Yours Readers From Clicking Away
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] One of the best ways to bore a reader to tears if to ramble on and on and on about yourself. Realistically speaking, everyone's a little selfish and this is particularly true in the online, modern world that we live in today. When web surfers read stuff on the internet, they want to AUTOMATICALLY be acknowledged that they are reading it and they are going to gain something out of it. There ARE ways to write in a way that keeps the readers interested.


  • A Good Writer is an Emo One
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] You see, a writer's got to do what a writer's got to do - write. Without prejudice and by stepping into the client's shoes and for that moment, be the client. If a writer can't do that, I just don't see much future for this person.


  • Writer With a Bad Hair Day Can't Take Criticisms
    [Self-Improvement:Techniques] Don't worry too much about criticism. It builds character. I used to beat myself over the head all the time whenever someone thought badly about what I was doing or did.


  • Sowing the Seeds of Love in Web Content Development
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] Sowing seeds of love - that's what web content development is all about. You scatter the seeds around in the field, lovingly nurture them and then you watch them grow, trim off the dying parts, nurture the good parts and one fine day, you will have a farm full of....grapes, or apples, oranges...or corn. Whatever it was that you are planting.


  • Keep at It - Twitter, Facebook, Blogging and Writing
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Internet-Marketing] There is a very good reason people hire ghost bloggers and freelance writers to tend to their websites, web content and blogs and that is to keep things fresh and updated. What's the point? OK, let me illustrate this with a real life experience.


  • Search Engine Reality - You Don't Want to Be Hit
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Search-Engine-Marketing] Ten thousand hits... wow, sounds like a lot. Ten thousand hits in a day is a lot of hits in a month! Gazzilion, maybe. But in today's world, will you be proud of having ten million hits a day if you had fifty images, two banners, one advertiser button, one button to Twitter, the other to your Facebook in every single page of your website because it's all part of your HTML template?


  • Writing Tips to Power Up Your Article Marketing Campaign
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] It may sound like a whole lot to you but being a writer for your own article marketing campaign means that there ought to be some form of commitment. It means setting a deadline and a cap for yourself. Some people power up their article marketing campaign by writing up a storm every single day. One a day...possible but strenuous when faced with a long list of to-dos.


  • The More You Blog, the More Will Come
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Blogging] One of the biggest problems with blogging is that sometimes (well, quite often, really) the well runs dry. I mean, it's hard to try to conjure up interesting ideas about what to write. And if you have been doing for ten years, the well WILL run dry. But here's the thing with professional blogger circuit...you learn how to find inspiration from others. Yes, it's true. These professional bloggers aren't really your competitors unless you see them that way. They are actually your allies and source for material to write about.


  • Where Do You Start Promoting Your Freelance Writing Services?
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] 'How do you promote yourself as a freelance writer for hire when the market is so saturated? Every other day, there is someone out there who can churn a few sentences out starts promoting himself or herself as a freelance writer on the internet!' screams my friend. Can we blame her?


  • Web Content Development is the Long Term Game Plan
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Internet-Marketing] Learning how to create content for your business website is fantastic but in order to see the results of your hard work, you need, first of all, patience. And then you need another dose of persistence. Just because you don't see the result that your web content development strategy should be bringing you within the first few months, does not mean that it is a failure. There is no reason to find another plan yet.


  • Do More Than Conquer the Great Wall of China With Words
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] One of the most amazing things about having the internet is that, while it is not possible for us to conquer the Great Wall of China, it is possible to penetrate far off places with words that we write. Words can touch hearts, and the typed-out words of a good writer can change a decision.


  • Will Your Mistakes Bring You Down Or Propel You Forward?
    [Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] Was anyone else was caught by surprise when heard of the recent entertainment news flash regarding a renowned sports personality's infidelity? Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Snowballed and then flung across the room and splattered all over the walls. Anyway, there is something to be learned in life about stuff like that...about making terrible mistakes.


  • Making Your Articles More Interesting to Read
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing-Articles] Someone recently asked me to review one of her articles...something she wrote for one of her clients. Beats me why she would ask me to review her articles but in the end, I did. The article wasn't bad....not too bad at all because I've seen and hired freelance web content writers in the past and they did terrible jobs. So, this girl's got a semblance of a future ahead.


  • Are You My Mother?
    [Home-and-Family:Motherhood] I once read somewhere that when you are adopted, you end up living a life not knowing where life started for you. You grow up yearning to know who made you, what does your mother look like, what your father worked as and if you had your father or mother's smile. You end up wondering if that crooked front tooth was genetic. It probably isn't but, as someone who is adopted, you may start wondering that despite the silliness of it all.


  • Find Out What Your Clients Think of You As a Freelance Writer
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] People say that the most difficult part about being a freelance writer or an online business owner is collecting money. Whilst there is truth in that, I think there is something else we have left out of the list of 'things we should do/know but don't do/find out'. What our clients think about us, that is.


  • Sing a Song on Social Media About Freelance Writing
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Media] In all honestly, when you look at freelance writing, social media via the internet would never come into the picture. Writers use words and we go through great lengths to ensure that we write in a manner that it is easy to understand. We also write to impress, inform, educate and sometimes, amuse. Internet social media minimize words, if I dare contend in that way...


  • I Did One of Those Things a Freelance Writer Should Never Have Done
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] Wrote the wrong article. And with a looming deadline too. Nothing could be worse. Things are bad. This could be the end of everything. I am going to have to burn a few midnight oils for this mistake. Nah. Don't have to. You see, here I am writing this article for myself after all. Want to know how it was done? Repurposing the article, of course!


  • In Need of a Few More Nerve Cells?
    [Home-and-Family:Parenting] I think single mothers are heroes of the world. No, I think mothers are heroes of the world.


  • Scrolling Past the Bad News
    [Self-Improvement:Happiness] It is true when they tell you that your own happiness is, literally, in the palm of your hands. It is also true that it is entirely up to you to see the cup as half empty or half full. It is absolutely correct when you hear people say that the door is open, and it is entirely up to you to walk through the way. Positivity versus negativity - is it something we learn, inherit or adopt to.


  • Women Dreams Vs Men Dreams
    [Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] Men probably dream about racing a car or making money or traveling all around (for free) while women (me, generally speaking) dream about falling off the edge of a plank, losing a loved one, getting trapped in a place that I am unfamiliar with and, more recently, dreamed that buildings were crumbling like crackers all around me...and I stood on the only last remaining solid building in the whole...whatever that was.


  • Needle in a Haystack - Finding a Good Copywriter Online
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] If you have been searching for a copywriter online for some time, you would agree with me when I say that it is almost as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. Hang on, finding a copywriter is not the problem, finding one who really works for you, is disciplined, reliable, professional and possesses a flair for the English Language is quite another.


  • The Perfect Email
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Email-Marketing] With the rising number of users who have hopped onto other online marketing methods, it leaves us questioning whether email marketing via a mailing list continues to be as effective as it used to be. Well, most online marketing experts agree that while many have hopped onto other quicker marketing methods that cost less money. However, this leaves us that small margin number of people who are still a little more old school in their thinking. Are they worth your time?


  • Terrible But True
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] Was doing my regular surfing and researching for materials that I can use for my articles. Boring stuff. But things pick up when I start writing, of course. I Google things up here and there hoping to find something useful that I can add to the article and then I got frustrated.


  • Writers Have the Upper Hand on the Internet
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] If not for the internet, many of us would never have made it as writers. Some of us would probably be stuck in a boring job in a kitchen or driving trucks from state to state or teaching in a kindergarten. Whilst there is nothing wrong with those professions, it's wrong when deep inside, there's a dire need to write and share what we know or a story with everyone else through the written word. Writing is like an itch. It needs to be scratched.


  • Break it Up For Your Audience
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] Swine flu is everywhere although no longer as life-threatening and panic-inducing as it used to be, it's still here. You find people quarantining themselves just from sitting in the same elevator as someone who had the sneezies. Ah-Choo! and ten days at home. How convenient.


  • Spring Cleaning Your Blog
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Blogging] Many of you out there, like me, have been blogging for ages. Even before blogs or vlogs were introduced, when Twitter was considered a distraction for businesses instead of a useful marketing tool, when email was the only way of communicating with a list of customers....we were there FIRST!


  • The Thirty-Something-Year-Old Little Girl
    [Self-Improvement:Happiness] Watching celebrity interviews, goggling and Googling young, hot celebrities and reading children's books... I'll admit that it is not something that a thirty-something woman does with her free time. Well, you know what? I'll continue doing it until I don't feel like doing it anymore because doing these things makes women like me feel younger.


  • On Love and How it Works
    [Relationships:Love] Love is a very funny thing because it's an all-encompassing emotion that can literally take over a person's life and make all their decisions for them. For instance, you fall in love with a man/woman and you could be digesting your own stomach linings and not feel a thing.


  • Refining Your Technique
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] This is what happens when a writer has been writing on a freelance basis for a period of a decade...they get, more or less, a little cocky about the way they present their work. College programs? Hah! Not for me. A teleseminar for freelance writers? Don't need it. Not for me. I know better. All these thoughts infiltrate the mind and when it does, there's a problem.


  • Is That YOU Writing, Or Someone Else?
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] I tried to write like Enid Blyton once because I love Enid Blyton books....I loved them when I was five and I still love them today. There's something very endearing about gnomes, pixies, brownies (I thought they were the edible kind at first) and also those naughty little boys having their faces frozen mid-scowl when the wind blew - mind-blowing. You remember that one? Yeah, it's fantastic and out of this world. The world could end and Enid Blyton books would still be selling like mad cakes out of the oven.


  • If Bird Can Shoot, You Can Flow
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] One great writer once told me that some people have it, some people don't. And then you have Larry Bird, one monstrous, awkward cement mixer in the middle of the basketball court. He should be just standing there and get paid, you know what I mean? He's an OBSTACLE not a basketball player! And yet, he's one of the most amazing players known to man. Apart from that lithe speed-of-light Jordan guy. Phew!!


  • Let it Go
    [Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] Do you even know what it's like to let everything go, not care and worry about responsibilities anymore? Sometimes, when you take a good look at your life, do you sit there and wonder how amazing it would be if you could be a kid all over again? Kids have the best lives ever! They need to know that and I tell my kids all the time - that they need to be carefree and not stress out of minor things.


  • Google's Baby YouTube Needs Help
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Video-Streaming] Google's adopted some babies in the past and it's really interesting. I can't name them all but I sure can name you the biggest few. YouTube (of course), Blogger (another of course!) and Picasa.


  • Writers Should Do What Bloggers Do With Article Marketing
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] As opposed to a conventional copywriter who tend to mull over each comma, sentence, word or decimal point whenever they write, bloggers are freer and better at writing out nice little articles or blog entries that contains substance. The difference between what a writer produces and what a blogger produces is this - the length.


  • Brutal Honesty About the Freelance Writing Business
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] I would love to say that it's possible for ANYONE to make it as a freelance writer, no, seriously, SERIOUSLY, I would. But honestly, it's not true. I would be lying to you and at the end of the day, you're going to hunt me down and spew curses down my throat for misleading you.


  • Define a Successful Freelance Writer
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] That's success - to me. But that brings me around to thinking about defining success as a writer. I mean, I am a freelance writer and if I want to promote myself, I can, by all means (right?) promote myself to the Holy Highness of the CEO who is running my whole life. I could also be the Optimus Prime of the Autowriters. Hah! Beat that!


  • Respect the Readers and the Search Engine
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] It's lucky for some of us who started out with the whole web content writing thing when it was still raw out of the fridge. We're lucky because we see how NOT to do things now. Back in those days, web content writers were rare and we didn't really know how to capture the audience we wanted, so we wrote...


  • Beating Writer's Block
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] Can you think of one instance whereby you're just staring at the keyboard and willing yourself to type something... ANYTHING out?! You're just staring at it and wishing that there was something you could do about that empty page on the computer. I know. It's horrible, that feeling.


  • The Secret to Article Marketing - Hard Work
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] I laugh whenever people ask me for article marketing secrets. Why? That's because it's really no secret at all that there are no real secrets to article marketing, THAT's why. The same way you would market a moisturizer, a book or a video CD, that's pretty much the same way you should market your articles. You write them and then push them out to as many people as possible through as many viable and affordable avenues as possible. Is that article marketing secrets? Nope. Hardly.


  • First You Write it - And That's the Easy Part
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] Most people concur that writing is not always easy - especially when you're not wired that way. Most people would imagine TALKING a much better, more convenient form of communication. It takes effort to write. But for strange, weird people like me, writing is easier. That is... before this whole online social networking thing took it a few steps deeper.


  • Linking to Others, Why? Why Not?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Link-Popularity] Some people are just really sticky about posting links to other sites just because it's a requirement when you use their articles, videos or images on their blogs or websites. They're thinking, 'Why should I? Who's to know? Why should I share the traffic with this guy....he can do his own marketing, can't he? I've worked hard for my readers!' BE NICE!


  • Scared of Making Mistakes
    [Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one - John C. Maxwell. The above statement cannot truer even if I tried to make it untrue. But let's face it, fearlessness is something that kids are really good at. They see a swing, they don't see the sharp edges sticking out of the wood, they don't hear the creaky sound that it makes when they swing too high on it, they don't think, even for a minute, that it could fall off.


  • Why is There a Limit For Tweeters on Twitter-Verse?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Media] While the world of internet gives many of us the much-longed-for opportunity to promote ourselves and network with others of like-mind, there are people who will manipulate the system. And THAT is why there is a limit on the number of people you're allowed to follow on twitter. What people do to get attention...


  • Facts For Fragrance Shopping
    [Shopping-and-Product-Reviews] There's an air of recklessness in the air....or it's more like, there's a scent in the air and it smells like something you would smell really sexy with. The fire of impulsiveness burns deep inside of you.


  • The 'YOU' Brand
    [Business:Branding] You've heard it said many times before but my question would be... did it sink in? Whether you're a professional copywriter, an engineer or a HR manager, you're selling yourself. In every aspect of your life, you're selling either products, ideas, yourself, your company, services, your friendship, your leadership... and your own brand. In the business terms, you're basically selling products and service via enhancing how people perceive your company. A good branding exercise will help your customers see you in the right light.


  • Social Media Marketing - Italian Cooking System
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Media] So you've got Facebook. And then you've got Twitter, then you've got stumbleupon. Have you mentioned Digg, Delicious, MSN Live, Buzz......er.....did we leave anything else out? I bet but I am not going to even try to remember? Recently, I went for a cooking class where I learned from an established chef how to cook real Italian food the real Italian way. Little did I know that I was in for a huge surprise.


  • Simple, Short, Sweet - Yet on the Spot
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing-Articles] There's no secret to effective writing, be it copy writing or article writing. To write effectively, your article or copy needs to be as uncomplicated as possible - end of story. You see, it depends on what kind of feelings and emotions you're trying to evoke in your readers. Do you want to amaze them with your writing style? Bowl them over with your content and stunning display of wide vocabulary? Or do you intend to send them a message and propel them into action?


  • Google Loves Words
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:SEO] "A picture paints a thousand words" - we've all heard this one but on the Internet, while Google remains to be King of the top search engines in majority of countries all around the world, this is not the case. Google prefers words and text. This is a concept that not many people can understand and familiarize themselves with because we're still stuck in the conventional world of illustrating our message across to our target readers through pictures and elaborate drawings. But if you want yourself to rank highly in Google, it's simple - feed it what it wants and that's words and text.


  • The Weaker Sex Can Pack a Mean Business Punch Too!
    [Business] Article prompted by the deflated ego of a friend who gave up a business even before the business began! Statistics reveal that women are MADE for the business world and we have more than we think we have to make it in the business world.


  • Say Something Smart Because Everyone is Talking!
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Networking] Are they going to lose business to their competitors just because they're more private? Nah! Don't worry about it. It's not the end-all and be-all. Just because everyone on your friends list don't know the name of your dog, what's your favorite color and you personally don't like Obama does not mean that you're going to lose anything. There are ways to get around it.


  • Hiring a Writer Who is Professional With Connectivity and SEO
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] The economy is in a slump and people are turning to the internet to make some money. As a professional freelance writer, I sincerely feel that while it's great that the internet is providing many people a rope to cling on during this troubling time, businesses trying to find professional freelance writers for their web content or online marketing methods should be cautious about it.


  • What Makes a Good Ad Copywriter
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] A good ad copywriter is someone who can and dares to put their foot out of the box of convention. Conventional ad copywriters don't make heads turn...this is a fact. People who actually write good advertisement copy are people who are not afraid of being laughed at when they present their ideas to the client.


  • How to Get Ahead of the Article Marketing Game
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] If you are wondering how to get ahead of the article marketing game, here's some food for thought. Don't stop writing Don't. Stop. Writing. EVER. That's my advice. I have a client who does not understand the concept of article marketing and when I told him that we've got about eight articles in a popular article directory, he said, 'OK, we've got enough there already.


  • What Happens When the Shine in the Knight's Armor Dulls Out?
    [Relationships:Love] A woman in her forties is sitting out in her yard, waiting for the school bus to arrive home with her kids in them. The edged life that she's lived is written all over her face, particularly around her eyes and her mouth where webs of wrinkles surrounds them. She is a beautiful woman with dark, splendidly wide eyes and a pouty mouth one would liken to Jolie...


  • How to Link and Not Link
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Link-Popularity] While I was still under employment with the dotbombs that forms a huge part of my career today, I was told that it was MY RESPONSIBILITY to understand and remember all the characteristics of ALL the search engines there were in cyberspace. I remember feeling like someone was holding a machete to my neck. Horrid, simply horrid. But a punch was delivered and I rolled with it. During that time, some search engine marketing experts contended that placing links in all sorts of websites, including link farms, was an essential part to the game plan.


  • Eye of the Hurricane in Social Networking - Update Your Status
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Networking] Was bumming around like I have a lot of time on my hands...like DUH?! In today's dull economy, I imagine I am the only few people left on the planet that dare bum around on the Internet. But I do. Bum around, I mean. And I bummed into something interesting.


  • What to Expect Online For 2009
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Internet-Marketing] I'll start with the most basic and OBVIOUS...which is that companies will continue to shrink their budgets for marketing and promotions. This is the kind of Catch 22 situation that happened a long time ago during the Great Depression. Hang on a minute, it happens all the time - yeah, you shrink the budget, no marketing; no marketing, less/no sale. It's hard to toss this one out but in this modern age today, we have something that those business people back during the Great Depression didn't.


  • Article Marketing is Not an Overnight Thing
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] Throughout my years working as an internet marketer, I am often dismayed with the reaction some people give me whenever I talk to them about what I do...essentially article marketing. That's just a small part of what I do, but still...as I try to explain to them, they're wary whether such a simple method can ACTUALLY work? And then they try it. Yes, they went ahead and tried it.


  • Social Media Marketing - Oops! I Found You
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Networking] If were to close my eyes and think about social media marketing right now and try to conjure an image of what social media marketing would be like IF it were a human being, I think it would be someone like this - someone who runs for his or her life whenever he or she encounters another human species that cannot be clicked on, cannot be deleted, and if this other human species is talking, as opposed to typing, life is over. It's over.


  • Do Not Abuse Social Networking
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Networking] The first time I read about 'web 2.0', something sort of popped inside of my head! I went like 'Whoa! This would be so cool as a marketing tool. Imagine, I can make all kinds of friends there and they would all have access to all the stuff that I do, my life, my writing, my advertisements, my graphic design works, my kids, my dog, the stuff I knit - awesome!'


  • No Less of a Woman
    [Womens-Interests] What kind of a woman am I, if I qualify? Accordingly, at this age, 35 (I am not going to even bother to hide it!), I should be dressed in high heels, off the red carpet dresses, my face should be caked with make-up and I should - SHOULD accessorize myself because I am beyond the age where people think of me as 'youthful' when I dash out of the door in the clumsily ironed blouse and jeans.


  • Hard Facts About Making it As a Freelance Writer
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] I've received many messages from my friends and visitors of both my blog and websites asking me for advice on how to get started as a freelance writer. One of them asked me, point-blank, no-holds-barred, 'How to get clients ah?'


  • In-Your-Face Website Design Advice
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Web-Design] At most, you will have six to eight seconds to keep your website visitor from clicking away and it all depends on one thing and one thing only....your website design. Whilst it's great that you have a great color combo going on there, there are many other elements that work together to either hold or push away your website visitors. It doesn't even matter if you're downright upfront...


  • What's the Difference Between a Press Release and an Article?
    [Business:PR] An Incredible Difference Between The Way Articles And Press Releases Work. 'I've been writing up a storm of articles, I don't need press releases written', said a friend of mine who was assuming that he got it all correct in the online marketing front. Although article marketing is an incredibly powerful online marketing tool, it's not the end all and be all. Remember, it's extremely easy to hire someone to write articles for you establishing you as an authority or a credible source.


  • Time to Move on to Other Alternatives
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online] According to experts, the economy is headed downhill. If you think 2008 is bad, they're telling us that we should all hang around and wait for 2009....it's going to be even worse. However, this is just one group of people talking about how our ailing economy is not going to recover so soon.


  • Basic Rules to Using a Mailing List - Five Never to Be Flouted Rules
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Email-Marketing] Mailing lists or newsletters is an extremely useful method of online promotion...not to mention that they're free, of course. This form of marketing was aggressively used by viral marketers back in those days when I first started out online businesses.


  • Market Yourself For Fun, Profit Will Tag Along
    [Business:Marketing] I don't like the fact very much that people, modern people living in our society today, has become increasingly materialistic in their outlook about life. I try to veer against the strong tide of materialistic wave, but most of the time, I fail. I DO love the idea of living in a bigger house, you see. However, as a basic humanistic principle, I don't let money dictate how much fun I have.


  • Hitting Everywhere Or Where You Want to Hit Now That the Giants Are Amongst Us
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online] People get too easily excited about 'traffic' and 'how many hits are you getting per month?' these days. It's almost as if they wake up every morning at five and the first thought that infiltrates their mind is 'how many hits did I get myself last night while I was sleeping'. Frankly speaking, as an internet marketer, I don't linger too long issues like that.


  • What People Want to See in Your Website Copy
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Web-Development] This is an absolutely relevant question when you're looking for a web content writer who can write influential content that can incidentally convince your potential customers to purchase something from you. But there is a difference between the role of a copywriter and a web copy writer. I am going to highlight the difference here in this article.


  • Yoga and Meditation Centers You
    [Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] If someone shot me a sales pitch about meditation and yoga ten years back, they would have been sent teetering out of the room with a shoe mark on their bottom! That was how big a skeptic I was about being involved in yoga and....*scoff scoff*....meditation. I mean, come on....get real. This is life that we're talking about here, what's meditation and bending of limbs got to do with life and living?


  • Dealing With a Mean Teen
    [Home-and-Family:Parenting] I was a mean teen. Yeah, I gave my mother heart palpitations and drained my father's pockets when I was younger - and then gave them a mouthful whenever they tried to 'advice' me against making foolish decisions. After a couple of years trying to pummel sensible thoughts into my head, my father finally came up with this - "You're an adult now. You make your own decisions. You bear your own consequences".


  • 1 Good Article is Better Than 10 Mediocre Ones
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] Ever since article marketing became a trend, it's common to see one person posting in article directories, up to ten or more articles into these websites. It's great to have a lot of content because it means more links to the website...and some to different pages of the website as well. But if you asked me, here's what I think of article marketing.


  • Using the Space on Your Walls Creatively
    [Business:Retail] Unless you own the shop that you're running your business in right now, chances are, you'll be moving. It could be five years down the road, it could be next week. If you already have a slatwall display system up on the walls of your shop, displaying all your products in a creative and unique manner right now, you're going to get a headache when it's time to move.


  • Link Me, Link Me! - Please?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Link-Popularity] Ever since Google and other major search engines like Yahoo and AOL changed their search algorithm in determining how to display search results according to the number of links coming into their websites, people like me have been scrambling around, trying to find ways around this new link marketing phenomenon. But it's an interesting change, to say the least.


  • So Which One is THE BEST Online Marketing Secret?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Internet-Marketing] As a new online business owner, you're probably wondering what it would take to bringing business in from the website that you've painstakingly designed and built. If you are anything like me when I first started out my website, you would have dug through thousands of websites looking for online marketing secrets....well, at least something that would bring you tons of traffic and truckloads of money within a couple of months. Weeks, if possible.


  • Will Blogging Actually Help Mothers De-Stress?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Blogging] I've known a lot of mothers who have problems with stress simply because they are or become inevitably ostracized from the rest of the world. For most of them, it's not a matter of choice, but more a matter of time. Being cooped up all alone at home dealing day-in and day-out with a demanding baby can drive a mother, just about anyone, for that matter, crazy!


  • What is Your Website's Personality?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Web-Development] There are so many avenues to marketing a business on the internet today that, frankly speaking, it's got me puzzled as well. And I've been doing this for more than ten years. Recently, a couple of people wanted to start an online business and asked me help out with their websites - I agreed. And I ask them the very same question that I ask all my graphic design and website development clients.... 'So, what do you want your customers to see as?'


  • So, is it Going to Be For the Readers Or the Search Engines?
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing-Articles] Whenever I sit down to write an article, I face a dilemma. I have to think about writing according to a personality. It's important for a writer to think about whether it's going to be a search engine article or an article written for the readers. A writer would have to adopt two completely different writing styles when writing for one or the other.


  • How to Promote Your Small Business With Soft Selling
    [Business:Small-Business] If there's one thing I learned about being on my own and earning a decent income from doing something that I am passionate about, it's this one. It has something to do with small business promotion. Basically, what promoting a small business entails is a long list of small time offers, some begging, and efforts in trying to get your name out there, off and online.


  • Finding Ideas and Inspiration For Your Articles Or Blog
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] I can understand completely how a writer, even a really creative and adrenaline-pumped blog writer or freelance writer, can just run dry on ideas. It can come to you....just like that! Out of the blue. It's just like waking up and asking yourself, "Hey, where'd my nose go?" Experienced freelance writers, web content producers or blog writers know that writing is a little bit like Kung-Fu. You have to keep at it, keep practicing and also never let your own head get too big.


  • Don't Be Selfish, Share the Love
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] Everyone's born to be selfish unless you're born a little funny...like me. Scientifically, it's proven that everyone's got their own defense mechanism which is designed to kick in whenever you're under threat or potential attack. This self defense system is part of how we react to the outside world and when it does, we become a little selfish.


  • The Trouble With Picking the Right Writer - Professional Writer Dilemma
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] Professional writing services is completely different from hiring an SEO writer or a copywriter. Here's what I think....an SEO writer have a very specific objective...the search engine. A copy writer ALSO has a very specific agenda on his or her own mind - to bring in the sale or to capture the attention of the target market. Although generally speaking, they're both provide professional writing services, their skills and experiences are based on a different ball-game.


  • Three of the Most Amazing Traffic Generating Internet Marketing Strategies - EVER! For Now?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Internet-Marketing] Three of the most important internet marketing strategies (not new ones but some forgotten ones) are revealed (and reminded) in this article. Use them diligently and watch the traffic soar!


  • How to Use Article Marketing Correctly As Part of Your Marketing Strategy
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Article-Marketing] There's something very different about article marketing when compared to writing something....say, like a sales letter or a brochure copy or when I am copywriting for a company's profile or sales pitch - and that is you don't sell yourself. Instead, through article marketing, you're selling something completely different but it relates to bringing in the sales as well.


  • A Serious Internet Marketer Like Me Don't Have Time to Waste on Facebook
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Social-Networking] Facebook was made for kids, singles and students. Serious Internet Marketers don't use it. Or do they? Should they?


  • Always Moving Forward
    [Self-Improvement:Inspirational] In times like these, when everything looks to be heading downwards, we should all be cutting back. Cut back on spending, cut back on traveling, cut back on luxury items. But does this mean we should cut back on PERSONAL GROWTH as well?


  • You Don't Know They've Grown Up Till They're Too Heavy
    [Home-and-Family:Parenting] It's like, one fine day, this mother woke up to find that her kids have grown so big that they've become too heavy for her to use her morning wake-up trick anyway. This article serves as a reminder to all parents to be more aware of our growing kids before it's too late.


  • How is it Like Being a Korea Contract Writer?
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] There's a lot of difference in the way you write as a Korean contract writer than when you're really freelancing with companies in other parts of the world. The Korean culture, as with many other Asian countries, stands tall and proud. In order to write for a Korean company, we have to understand and respect that.


  • Is Your Website Sticky Enough?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Site-Promotion] Many years ago, I heard the term 'website stickiness' and thought of bread and honey. If you were not around when this term was created, perhaps this article will explain a little bit more about how and why you should make your website as sickly sweetly sticky as possible.


  • Turning Into a Website Mascot
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:SEO] I've just turned myself into my website's own mascot. When it comes to online business marketing, things have changed. It's time to take a look....a really serious one, at how it has changed the world of online marketing and maybe take a few pointers from mega promoters like GoDaddy's Bob Parson.


  • The Dream of Being a Travel Freelance Writer
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] What happens when you love to travel, get to travel for work and yet you harbor dreams of being a freelance writer? Well, maybe you have flair when it comes to writing. Perhaps your family and friends or colleagues have always piled praises on how well you can express yourself with written words. I am pretty sure you would have started wondering if you could actually pursue a career or alternative career as a travel freelance writer.


  • Client Crisis
    [Business:Solo-Professionals] Having been in the freelance writing world of business for the past nine years, I've seen my fair share of clients and it never fails to amaze me how different they all are. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it drives me to drink. The secret to a successful freelance writing business...no, wait....success to just about any business is to stop, look and feel a little whenever....


  • The Voice of Doubt
    [Self-Improvement:Success] I love anything fun and exciting; in fact, I revel in change and challenge. Therefore, it's safe to say that I've tried a myriad of things in the past and have failed or failed to follow-up with what I started throughout my thirty-odd years of living. I leave a debris-strewn past behind me, trailing miserably and reminding me of past misdeeds and could-have-beens. But it does not stop me from pursuing things that means something to me.


  • The Real Deal About Starting a Home-Based Business
    [Home-Based-Business] From the outside, it may look like the perfect ideal that anyone wants. For example, I've had people tell me that I've got the best of both worlds; that I have a home-based business as a freelance writer and I get to be with my kids all the time. They perceive that my freelance writing career comes with no worries, there's not much 'running around' to do because my home-based business is a pretty 'straight-forward' one and that my kids are angelic all the time.


  • 8 Reasons to Outsource the Writing Job to a Writer
    [Business:Outsourcing] Imagine you're neck high with work and the ALERT red light's been blinking like a siren all day long and yet you know you've got to sit down to write a bunch of articles. You're gobsmacked out of ideas on how to make things work now! This is a common problem for small business owners or home-based businesses. You can't be everywhere at the same time. But here's what you can do...and it's a no brainer, actually. You outsource the writer part of your work to a credible and reliable (and professional....


  • Giving Hypnosis a Chance to Work
    [Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] I would love to believe that it's possible to get rid of a sickness or disease through hypnosis. I would love to believe that if someone's heart was broken by a mean-spirited ogre, she will find the strength to pick herself up and get on with life through hypnosis. I would also love to believe that I can stop smoking via hypnosis, lose weight or gain weight (depending on which side of the scale you're standing on) through this method of healing.


  • Two Legs, Two Hands - No Die
    [Self-Improvement:Success] There's this Chinese saying that really makes perfect sense to me. Two legs, two hands, No die. What does it mean? I'll illustrate it with a gloomy example or a hypothetical situation you might not like to imagine yourself in. But OK, you asked for this. Now, imagine this.... a twister takes your home, your father suffers a heart attack then your sister tells you that she is declaring bankruptcy, then your child falls ill, your best-friend loses his/her job...worse yet, your business collapses.


  • Five Reasons Why You Should Never Hire the First Freelance Writer You Chance Upon
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] The world of freelance writing has warped out of control recently because of a marketing method we all call 'article marketing'. As long as a person can credibly spin a web of words together, whether it makes sense or not is another matter, they would launch themselves off as a freelance writer for hire. Should you hire the first freelance writer you chance upon without giving others a glance?


  • Why Hire Writers For Your Blog When You Can Very Well Write For Yourself?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Blogging] This is a question that commonly plagues the mind of a small business owner who doesn't have millions to splurge on marketing and advertising campaigns. Having a blog is the way to go these days because every one knows that the world is all about interactivity and not merely 'activity' anymore. With an online business that has a popular blog, you'll find yourself more connected to your readers, site visitors and potential customers.


  • What is SEO and How Does it Work?
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:SEO] Mention the word SEO and people automatically assume that it's a complicated and expensive process when, in actual fact, it is not. For those who are unfamiliar with the word SEO, it stands for search engine optimization. SEO is very different from search engine marketing because search engine marketing covers a wider range of methods than search engine optimization.


  • The Flavor in Each Word & Each Musical Note
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] Amy is eighteen and she has been spending months, five to be precise, practicing this one song that she would be performing the music school's concert. She toils over each note, each dynamic, each tone meticulously and to everyone else, she plays the song PERFECTLY. And yet, Amy's not satisfied with her song. She laments to her mother, "But it's NOT perfect. There's something missing about the song".


  • I Have a Small Business, Should I Advertise?
    [Business:Small-Business] First of all, let me give you a pat on the back for taking the bold step forward. As a person who has been through it myself, I know making the decision to start your own small home-based business is not an easy one. So, congratulations, from the bottom of my heart, is in order.


  • If Michael Jordan Needed Help, So Do You
    [Self-Improvement:Motivation] I am not intentionally manipulating the famous basketball player's name but I am trying to emphasize a point here and I need to use someone really big and SUCCESSFUL as an example. I remember in one interview, the interviewer was unloading praise upon praise on Michael Jordan for performing so well, giving Chicago Bulls their xxxth win. The humble and extraordinary basketball player took the compliments gracefully and then added, "I couldn't have done it without Pippens and Rodman".


  • How to Have a Good Relationship With Your Freelance Web Content Writer
    [Business:Small-Business] Have you ever hired a freelance web content writer only to find out that whatever he/she has been producing for you is not....in the style or format that you desire...much less want? This is a common problem. The reason is because all of us have different styles. Personally, my style is very 'personal'. If you want me to write a 'reporter' style piece of content, I'm probably gonna suck at it really bad! But perhaps, if you've hired a web content writer who has been in the journalism scene a lot, then you're going to get good results.


  • Have Yourself a Dream Book
    [Self-Improvement:Motivation] People should be big on dreams, the way I am. Then again, maybe a lot of people have dreams and personal goals too and don't know where to start moving forward. Each and every one of us should live every single day as if it's our last. Imagine that we are being handed each second that we are allowed to be alive, one second at a time. You'll never know when the 'maker' decides to say, "Hey...


  • Online Business and Stage Fright
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online] If you're a person who hates to even think about getting up on stage and performing for an audience, you may have some understanding of what it is like for some to consider starting their own online business. Having a website or starting an online business is...scary business. As easy as it is to start a money-making endeavor online, moving it in the right direction, sourcing, out-sourcing, marketing, promotion, advertising, content development, product development, forming affiliation...the likes, it's a lot for one person to take on.


  • Forty-Something is Too Late
    [Self-Improvement:Inspirational] Call it midlife crisis, call it depression but I know of a forty-something man who hit it, wallowed in it and considered suicide as a means to an end many times over. Each time the thought entered his head, he entertained the idea, mulled over each detail carefully, planned out each stage carefully and practiced it. And each time the time came for him to carry out his plan, his plans were disrupted. Most of the time, an unplanned event intervened.


  • The Internet is a Wrinkled Web of Words
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online] I don't know how long it was but I know it wasn't short. I spent close to two hours trying to explain to a local client why she wasn't getting the kind of web traffic she wanted. She spent a considerable amount of money working her website to perfection. On many levels, it was probably perfectly pretty...with flash and all.


  • SEO and the Law of Averages
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:SEO] If you want to succeed in your online business, the first thing you'd need to understand is this....search engines will bring you tons of traffic ONLY IF you know how to work the game. You can be standing at the front doorstep of a local mall handing out brochures or call cards for weeks and you don't get the same results or success rate as selling yourself or your online business through the search engines.


  • You're Throwing Money Away If Your Headlines Aren't SHOUTING!
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] In most articles, regardless of whether it's an online article, a web content or something that you see in the newspaper, the headline of the article or the prelude to a particular part of the content plays a pivotal role in drawing people in. I've been asked before, 'How do you write a headline that grabs at peoples' attention?' I don't have a magical wand to do that and the rules to how to write such a headline changes all the time, so, but there are some rules that I follow when writing headlines.


  • Ghostwriting Is A Game Sans The Name
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] The game of being a ghostwriter is this...you get to play the game but if you win it, you're not the one to stand on the podium. Someone else gets to be there to claim the prize. Of course, when you're a freelance ghostwriter, you'd have to know that if something goes wrong during the game, you don't take the blame, the person who hires you does. In case you're not familiar about how this ghostwriting game works, I'll give a couple of low-downs.


  • On A Mission To Find A Child's Unique Difference
    [Home-and-Family:Parenting] "I hate the piano, it's not what I want to do but she keeps forcing it on me and making me do something that I don't like", wailed a frustrated teenager about her mother forcing her to practice her piano. She laments this in front of me, but says nothing to her mother. Her own mother harbored dreams of playing the piano, like me, but never got the chance to, like me. While I would not impose piano-playing on my kids if they told me that they hated it, this mother did the opposite.


  • Horror Stories About Motherhood - True Or Lies
    [Home-and-Family:Motherhood] Before I became a mother, I read a lot of motherhood stories and heard a lot of horror stories about how one would literally lose their lives after becoming a mother. I never knew how far the truth was, to be honest. I've, of course, watched my mom carry the weight of being a mother to us, three monstrous (but lovable) kids and also babysat for many other people's kids at the same time!


  • Don't Let Life Pass You By
    [Self-Improvement:Motivation] Life in the fast lane can really take a toll on you and if you're not careful, you'd be inviting many different types of uninvited guests into your lives; namely, stress, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, and many other types of illnesses. Working hard is a good thing and many experts have said that a little bit of stress in our lives is a good thing. But do you know your threshold? Do you know when to stop or when to slow down?


  • SEO, Life On The Fast Lane - How To Fast Track Exposure
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:SEO] "It was just there last week!" screamed my client over the phone as I held the receiver as far away from me as possible. "Why isn't the listing there anymore? Why isn't it on the first two pages? Why has it fallen off the face of the earth? I thought I did the right thing already!" The thing is that I write some stuff for this client, some search engine promotion related stuff and he's been pumping his blog and website like mad now.


  • Different Approaches To Writing For Different Readers
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] I've read my fare share of articles, web content, stories and newsletters in my lifetime and frankly speaking, I remember very few of them. But the ones I do remember are the really good ones. Being a freelance writer, I read what others write because it is always refreshing and even though I've been freelancing as a writer for so many years, there's still quite a bit, I've discovered, to learn...even from novice writers!


  • Those Moments
    [Home-and-Family:Motherhood] Sit back and relax; and then when you're ready, can you think of moments whereby you can classify as the perfect motherhood moment? Be it good or bad ones, there are bound to be many memories that you can dig up from your sub-conscious mind that you will realize has helped shape you into what you are today. I dare say being a mother has definitely defined me as a person and developed me into a better business person...


  • Small Business Owners - Time To Hire A Writer
    [Business:Small-Business] It was a brilliant idea, really, that my friend had and I offered her my full support and encouragement when she suggested starting a cake-baking recipe tutorial and advice site. Then one day, she sent me an email. "What do you write when your brain is dead?"


  • Writers Should Learn From American Idol
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] If you've been watching American Idol, you will know who Simon COWell is. If you know this masochistic fellow, you'll know that his, often, sarcastic remarks are based on the fact that the contestants were too 'copy-cattish'...and that they try to sing and do the songs in the way the original singers did it. In all honestly, I would have to admit that Simon Cow (love him, by the way but think he ought to shut his trap once in a while) is right...that if one chooses to sing a song by Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey on American Idol, you're headed for doom because unless you do it better than them (0.000019% chance in Hell anyone could), you're better off roasting yourself on a BBQ pit.


  • Which Copy Do You Like More?
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Copywriting] Before I start writing for my clients, I make it a habit to ask them 'what style do you want?' Some of them give me perturbed answers like, "What do you mean...what style? I don't know. Normal style, I guess. What style is there to choose from?" making it sound picking the yellow blouse over the orange raglan tee!


  • You Don't Have To Write A Book To Be An Author
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] You can be a author without being a writer. An author and writer are two completely different titles because some authors don't actually produce their own books! It's a well-known fact that some authors hire their what we have come to know as ghost writers who are paid a certain amount of money to produce the work for these authors. These ghost writers are bound...


  • Don't Listen To Your Teachers If You Want To Write For A Living
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] I remember having my English teacher as my favorite teacher in the world when I was in primary school. We had a love-hate relationship back then but it was her, I remember vividly, who unleashed my passion for writing. We had a love-hate relationship because I had more than a dozen books hidden in my drawers confiscated by her and because she caught me reading while she was teaching!


  • Defining Me
    [Self-Improvement] Am I an over-ambitious person with no conscious? Or am I a fun-loving and adventurous person who is up for challenge from the moment I am awake till the moment I nod off? Am I mother who has a compassionate side to me that is deserving of awards, recognition and accolades? Or am I all of the above. In order to define me, I need to think about every single aspect and corners of my being and I have set out to do so in this article.


  • Drawing The Line Between Work And Home For Work at Home Mothers
    [Home-Based-Business] A positive attitude can take you very far and this is particularly true for mothers, whether you're single or married, who are keen on working from their homes. When you have a positive outlook on the future and the way things can potentially work out, you will achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve in the shortest period of time. But let's get real for a moment here.


  • How To Keep Your Readers Enthralled With Your Articles
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing-Articles] Many people don't have problems putting their thoughts into words - that is precisely why the market for freelance writing is so competitive. With basic grammar skills, knowledge and the willingness to learn, just about anyone can make a decent living with a freelance writing career. But the difficult part is writing a piece that both the writer and the real owner of the article can be proud of. Something that can keep readers from running off into the great beyond.


  • The Simpler The Article, The Better
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing-Articles] When I look at my kid's phone and compare it to my bulkier but funkier PDA, I thought to myself, "You know, I think I like the simplicity of my son's phone when compared to my own expensive PDA". Sure, I bought the PDA because I needed to use the calendar and reminders and I DO use it! But sometimes, the simpler things are, the better they are. That's how your articles should be like.


  • Making Your Customers Buy From You Without Begging
    [Business:Customer-Service] Admittedly, I've done a lot of begging in the past. Begging for business, then begging for payment, then begging for more time. But this is business and things can get even rougher when your business is online. Ecommerce is a huge and profitable business - but only if you know how to take advantage of human emotions. One of the things that successful online business owners take advantage of is impulse purchases.


  • Outsourcing Your Articles For Your Small Business
    [Business:Outsourcing] No man is an island - I've said this a lot of times and I would like to say it again....just for good measure. Take it from me, if you're a small business owner and looking for a way to market yourself via article marketing or trying to gain some exposure for your small business, there's no better way than to write some articles and post them into your website and other websites like article directories. But what happens when you feel as if you've stretched yourself too thin?


  • Search Engine Optimization Gone Askew
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:SEO] It's painful... to have a website and be sitting there waiting for people to find you and consider the stuff you have to offer there. The process of waiting can be shortened with extensive search engine optimization done to the website. This process involves working some articles into the website, tweaking the META tags of each and every one of the pages, researching on the keywords related to your industry that you think your potential customers or clients will or might use to find your website, exchanging links with others in the industry and doing some social networking.


  • Articles By The Bunch - Content Is Not To Be Bought Like Bananas
    [Writing-and-Speaking:Writing-Articles] I started my writing career on freelance with sites like GetaFreelancer. If eBay was the site people went to for cheap stuff, then this is the site people went to for cheap services. That's how started my career as a freelance writer... producing really cheap writing materials. There was one time I wrote 100-word articles for about less than $1 a pop! No seriously.


  • The Right ATV Tire For The Right Type Of Terrain
    [Automotive:ATV] Different terrains or tracks require different types of ATV tires and before you head out on your next excursion, we should change the ATV tires to the right one before heading out. If you're not sure what kind of ATV tire is suitable for the terrain, ask your local ATV tire dealer, look it up on the Internet or even a common mechanic can tell you something about the right kind of ATV tire to use. The wheels of the quad should correspond to the type of traction and friction of the surface of the track.


  • Teaching Kids To Be More Responsible Towards Our Environment Through ATV Trail Riding
    [Automotive:ATV] There's nothing quite like taking the kids out to a national forest reserve during the holidays or even during the weekends riding out the trails. In fact, I completely recommend this activity if you're looking for the chance to bond with your kids. ATVing is a passion that can be shared with the next generation and although a lot of parents think that ATV riding is unsafe for the kids, we beg to differ.


  • Tweaking Your Web Pages For Search Engine Optimization
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:SEO] It takes more than just writing articles to get your website to rank well in search engine. I know it sounds complicated and you're not even going to continue reading this because this article sounds like a very technical article already. But hang on a minute here, it's not complicated, I promise you.


  • Guideline To Safe Purchasing of ATV Stuff Online
    [Automotive:ATV] Once bitten, twice shy....this is something a friend of mine told me recently. He went ahead and bought some ATV apparel for his kids online from an online retailer of some of the most reputable brands in the market today. Well, to cut the long story short and without revealing the name of the website, he didn't get his order and customer service was unhelpful. Therefore, today, if you asked him to purchase ATV stuff or anything, in fact, online, he would rather you take his eye out.


  • Do What Branding Did To Martha Stewart With Your Own Online Marketing Campaign
    [Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Internet-Marketing] Many people have asked this question before and I've spent a lot of time explaining to them why online marketing should be a part of every business' marketing plan - whether you're planning to spearhead a local market or trying to penetrate the global souk, online marketing should be an integral part of the business strategy. "Why should I do some online marketing promo when I only want to sell local?" they ask me indignantly and protective of their stash of cash.


  • Important Things to do Before Letting your Kids Ride Mini ATVs
    [Automotive:ATV] As I've asserted a lot of times before, riding mini ATV for kids is a healthy activity. Nevertheless, without taking proper precautions, it can be dangerous. Such is the case when misinformed or negligent individuals allow their kids to ride an ATV that is not meant for kids or letting kids ride without proper protective gears. In most cases, the kids get off without incident. In some cases, it may prove to be a negligent mistake.


  • Riding ATV is Good for the Kids
    [Automotive:ATV] Many parents....too many of them view ATV riding as something dangerous....which is something that I find a little depressing. Riding an ATV is good for the health! Especially for kids. We live in an ultra-modern society whereby we're surrounded by radio waves emitted from the personal computer, the television, the radio, cell phones, microwave ovens, etc.


  • Why Isn't Your Web Content Converting Into Sales?
