The Beginning Of Wisdom In Internet Marketing

The beginning of wisdom in internet marketing is to know that whatever else you do is useless unless you have high quality visitors who come to see what you offer. And that for you to get high quality visitors you must offer high value.

It is a law of nature that people of value go to places of value. You don't expect to get the most distinguished persons in your country in a ghetto joint. Go to those distinguished places and you'll see them without much ado.

This is the beginning of wisdom online: That if you offer somet
ing of massive value, yes, many tire-kickers will take advantage of it but those who cherish things of great value will reward you massively.

This is the beginning of wisdom if you intend to succeed as an internet marketer. Do give high value first if you want to achieve anything of value in your online endeavors.

It is an insult to give people trash. You don't serve your guest dinner with your dog's plates. That will be insulting. So don't give your site visitors anything less than what you demand when you are on other sites.

Just look at your bookmarks in case you do not understand what I mean by delivering high value. What do all the sites there have in common? Did you see any scrappy sites. Did you see any trashy site?

So why do you expect to get high quality traffic that you can convert in amazing ways when all you offer your visitors is trash?

The beginning of wisdom online is to first get something of high value to offer then go out and show them a bit of it. And when they come, show them some more and yet more until they deliver your most wanted response.

Dynafold AF300 Desktop Electric Paper Folding Machine Review

The Dynafold AF-300 desktop electric paper folder is an easy to use light volume folding machine.This review will take a look at the strengths, features, weaknesses and limitations of the AF300 paper folding machine.

Overview:

• The Dynafold AF-300 desktop electric paper folder is an easy to use light volume folding machine.
• It is designed for folding letter or legal sized paper and can be configured to fold documents in half, into a letter fold, in a zig zag fold or with a fold out.
• This review wil
  take a look at the strengths, features, weaknesses and limitations of the AF300 paper folding machine.

Strengths / Features:

• For such an inexpensive paper folding machine, the Dynafold AF300 is actually fairly feature rich. It is capable of folding sheets that are letter size, A4 size or legal size and can set to fold custom sizes of paper as small as 4" x 6".
• The AF-300 can be set to do one of four primary folding patterns including a half fold, a fold out, a letter fold or a zig-zag fold. However, the fold plates on the AF-300 are set manually and thus can be configured for custom folds that are different from the four preset folds.
• The folder operates at a speed of up to 4000 sheets per hour or can be set to fold documents manually. It can even fold sets of up to 3 sheets of paper through the manual feed slot.
• The AF-300 has a feed hopper capable of holding up to fifty sheets of 20lb paper at a time. However it is best to keep it to about half that many in order to prevent feed problems and paper jams.
• The AF-300 also comes with a convenient desk stand and a metal paper catch bin that is ideal for setting the machine on your desk or beside your postage meter.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• The fold plates on the AF-300 need to be adjusted manually. You have to loosen the set screws and move the paper stops to the correct positions. This can be pretty tricky and it can take a while to set the folder up so that it folds correctly. One trick to remember when setting up the fold plates is to use the manual feed knob on the side of machine to feed the paper through the machine. Pay attention to the paper as it hits the paper stops. If the paper stops are crooked the machine won't fold straight. The AF-300 can take as long as 10-15 minutes to set up. This makes it ideal for users who just need to do just one style of fold.
• The AF-300 is not designed for folding heavy or glossy paper stocks. It is a great option for folding standard copy papers but will have difficulties feeding heavier stocks through the fold rollers of the machine.
• The AF-300 is really best suited for low volume folding. For users who need to fold a few hundred documents a week this machine is probably a reasonable solution. However, it is important to understand that using this machine you WILL have paper jams and if you try to fold a lot of paper it will be a headache. This is true of all paper folders in this price range. It is something that many users simply don't understand before purchasing this type of unit.

Recommendation:

• The AF-300 is a fairly flexible low cost paper folding machine that provides the user with the ability to fold several sizes of paper into a number of different patterns.
• However, the AF-300 is really best suited for users who are looking to primarily fold documents with one folding pattern and for users who need to fold a few hundred sheets per week.
• Attempting to use the AF-300 for higher volume folding applications is not recommended and will most likely end up in both frustration and headaches.

Risk Inclination - How Do You Compare To Others?

Risk inclination research provides interesting information about dealing with risks in life and in business.

Based on Proprietary Research

Ever wonder how risk inclined you are?  And how you compare to others.

As a part of my forthcoming book, Seize Opportunity - A Practical Guide to Taking Advantage of Opportunities, I conducted some research on risk inclination.  The research involved people self-assessing their risk inclination in a variety of areas.

Participants were first asked to indic
te their general risk inclination on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being Very Risk Averse and 10 being Very Risk Inclined.  They were then asked to be more specific by similarly indicating their risk inclination in the following areas.

• Physical Risks - Activities that involve some risk of injury. Riding a motorcycle, river rafting, rock climbing or skydiving are some examples.
• Career Risks - Risk such as job changes, taking on new responsibilities or seeking promotions.
• Financial Risks - Your risk tolerance in investing, borrowing and lending money.
• Social Risks - Risks like introducing yourself to someone you don't know or putting yourself in an unfamiliar social situation even at the risk of possible embarrassment.
• Intellectual Risks - Things like your willingness to study a difficult topic, pursue information that challenges your convictions or read an intellectually challenging book.
• Creative Risks - Risks such as painting, drawing, taking on a writing challenge or pursuing an unconventional design.
• Relationship Risks - Risks such as a willingness to pursue a new relationship, spend time with someone despite an uncertain outcome or make a relationship commitment.
• Emotional Risks - Willingness to be emotionally vulnerable.
• Spiritual Risks - Willingness to place your trust in concepts that may be unprovable or you do not fully understand.

Having assessed their willingness to take these nine different types of risk, participants were then again asked the first question about their general risk inclination again.  Here are the results of the research so far.

Averages and Ranges of Assessments - On average, people placed their Balance Point for all types of risks between 5.9 and 7.7. I find it interesting that the averages are all above the midpoint on the assessment scale.  It is also of interest that the range is so relatively small with less than two points between the lower and higher averages.  This seems to suggest that people, as a whole, consider themselves moderately risk inclined and they see their risk inclination in all areas as reasonably similar.

Individually, the range of risk inclination for the specific risks varied the maximum possible.  Some people had self-assessed risk inclinations ranging all the way from 1 to 10.

The range of averages of all risks for men was 6.2 to 7.8.  The average risk inclinations for all risks for women were lower but broader ranging from 5.0 to 7.6.

Highest Assessment - Both as a whole and when broken down by gender, respondents indicated they were most comfortable taking intellectual risks.  This could be due to people seeing the downside of taking intellectual risks as more acceptable than negative outcomes from other risks such as financial, relationship or physical.  Put another way, intellectual risks are private in nature and usually taken without anyone being aware of the risk except the person taking the risk.  As such, a negative outcome, should it occur, is likely known only to the risk-taker.

Lowest Assessment - Overall, people identified financial risks as the ones where least comfortable taking.  The average age of the respondents being in the mid-forties likely influences this result.  Men assessed their risk inclination in both financial and emotional risks as their lowest.  My guess is that many will not be surprised to learn that emotional risks are among the least comfortable for men.  This strikes me as consistent with the way men are often socialized in our society.  Women identified physical risks as the ones they were least inclined to take.

Gender Differences - Men and women's inclination to take social and creative risks was essentially identical.  The greatest difference in risk inclination between men and women came in physical risks.  The average inclination to take physical risks for males was 6.9.  For females, it is 5.0.  This range of 1.9 is the greatest difference in risk inclination that occurs when comparing results by gender.

There are two type of risks for which women indicated a greater risk inclination than men.  Can you guess which ones?  Women expressed a higher inclination to take both relationship and emotional risks than men.

Revised Overall Risk Inclination - One of the points of this exercise is to encourage people to look at their risk inclination more broadly.  That's the reason respondents are asked to assess their Overall Risk Inclination a second time after assessing their inclination to take risks in a variety of specific areas.  I am pleased to report that many respondents revised their Overall Risk Inclination upward as a result of completing the survey.

Two out of five people moved their Balance Point to the right, towards more risk inclined, the second time they were asked to assess their Overall Risk Inclination compared to their response to the same question when they first responded to it.  That's powerful and means that simply looking at their risk profile more broadly allowed them to revise their Overall Risk Inclination upward.  For women, this effect was even more dramatic.  Fully half of the women taking the survey increased their Overall Risk Inclination.  One in three men did the same.

Two in five taking the survey did not change their Overall Risk Inclination.  For men, those with unchanged Overall Risk Inclinations were 44 percent.  For women, it was 36 percent.

Some people revised their Overall Risk Inclination downward as a result of taking the survey, but only one in five.  It's refreshing to see that only half as many people moved their assessment downward compared to the number who moved theirs upward.  For women, only 15 percent moved their assessments downward, while 24 percent of men did the same.

So, to review, two out of five moved their assessments of their Overall Risk Inclination upward.  The same proportion kept theirs the same and one in five moved theirs downward.

More Influential Risk Inclinations - I have long suspected that we allow our comfort level with certain kinds of risks to disproportionately influence our perception of our Overall Risk Inclination.  One of the goals of this survey is to look for correlation between the first assessment of Overall Risk Inclination and risk inclination in the various specific areas that would provide evidence of such disproportionate influence.

Based on countless conversations, I have sensed that many people allow their comfort level with physical risks to significantly influence their perception of their Overall Risk Inclination.  But I have been wary to assert this due to the fact that most of the people who have indicated this to me are aware of my inclination to take physical risks by skydiving.

Their comments often start with a statement such as, "I could never do what you do.  I'm not a risk-taker."  This seems like a pretty clear reference to physical risks such as skydiving. Given time, I will explore with the person making the statement areas of their life where they are more risk inclined.  Once we can disconnect their perception of their Overall Risk Inclination from their comfort with physical risks, they will often revisit their initial statement.  I love when that happens!  They conclude the conversation feeling a bit differently about themselves.

So, how much correlation did we find between respondents first assessment of their Overall Risk Inclination and their physical risk inclination?  It depends on what group of respondents you are looking at.  For males, the assessments are almost identical.  My suspicion was confirmed.

For females, there is a lot less correlation, so the same theory does not seem to apply to women.  For women, the highest degree of correlation with the initial assessment of Overall Risk Inclination is with financial risks.  For both genders combined, the highest correlation is with emotional risks.  I leave it to you to discern the significance of these correlations.  Nothing in particular has yet occurred to me.  If something profound comes to mind, send me an email and let me know.

Impact of Age - One of the questions I get most often on the topic of risk inclination is how it changes with age.  Research has shown that most people become more change adverse as they age.  But comfort with change is only part of the risk equation. So, what can we glean from the responses to the surveys about how risk inclination changes with age?  There are some insights, but I would not consider the conclusive without a lot more data. There are, however, some interesting patterns.

My guess is that if you were asked, based solely on intuition, whether people become more or less risk inclined as they age, you would say less.  I agree and think most people would say the same.  But we are not necessarily correct.

The responses to the survey show that, for the population surveyed, there is not a statistically significant change in risk inclination based on age.  But things change when we look at the responses by gender.  Men show a reduced inclination to risk as they age, but women do not!  The women in the population surveyed showed an increase inclination to risk as they age. This is a fascinating observation that bears more research.

At this point, we can only speculate as to the causes of this increased risk inclination.  It could be attributable to the fact that the women I asked to respond to the survey are, by my observation, reasonably financially secure.  I would be inclined to suggest that some types of risk inclination increase with financial security.

Another factor that could be contributing to this increased risk inclination with age in women is a possible latent desire to enjoy activities and take advantage of opportunities that were difficult for them to pursue earlier in their lives due to the obligations of raising a family.  Some sociologists have suggested that may women spend the first half of their lives tending to the needs of others and the second half of their lives addressing more of their own needs.  That concept could be related to the survey results.

Both of these possible explanations are just supposition until validated by further research.  But women's increased risk inclination as they age as indicated by the survey population is still quite thought provoking.

Yours Alone

While it is interesting to know how your risk inclination compares to others, please do not let it influence you too much. How you compare to others is really not that important.

While we can learn from observing what others do well and poorly in this realm, comparing yourself to them is just not helpful.  Your natural level of risk inclination - the position of your Balance Point at this moment ( is a result of a multitude of factors that are unique to you.  It is influenced by the person you were at birth and all your life experiences since.  Like you, it's unique.

It is an interesting reference point - and possibly a starting point if you choose to set about intentionally changing it.

Home Working Jobs Are All Scams

At times like these good quality home working jobs are what we need. And the ability to spot one, amongst all the fakes, is what this article is all about. With a government that's about as useful as a chocolate fire guard and an economy that only reflects the interests of the very rich few, what can you do to help yourself and your family?

 

Top earning home working jobs could be the answer. However most sites offer trash and expect you to pay for it. Worse still some are actually trying to involve you in criminal act
vity. There are more scammers in the home working jobs market than there are fleas in a dog pound. Nonetheless there's a fantastic income to be made online and a lifestyle to go with it.

 

In this article we'll tell you what the worst scams online are and how to avoid them before revealing some of the genuine gems that could really change your life.

 

Home Working Jobs Scam:

 

If anyone offers you an opportunity to earn a second income stuffing envelopes forget it. When you apply they'll ask you to pay a small registration fee (kiss that goodbye) and then they'll try to sell you on the idea of placing an ad just like the one you've just answered. Not only is this a pyramid selling scam it's also potentially illegal.

 

Another age old home working jobs trick is the home assembly scam . A company will offer you the opportunity to assemble there products in your own home, usually citing a quite convincing argument that this saves on their production costs. They then promise that, once you've returned the completed product, they will sell the item and share the profits with you. Again you pay your fee and receive some appalling self assembly kit which you complete then return to the distributer only to have it rejected or mysteriously lost in transit. This is always your fault and you are always asked to buy another kit at a reduced cost (as a favour and sign of goodwill). Some people buy three or four before they realise they've been scammed.

 

Beware of home working jobs directories that say they have the contact details of the best money making opportunities on the Internet. They haven't. What they've actually got is an expensive load of links, and most of them are dead, to sites that promise you riches in return for stuffing envelopes etc. I think you get the picture.

 

Other notable scams include companies offering you money for 'home product testing', theres a registration fee and the products you'll test (if they ever send you one) will be worth about 5% of that fee. Then there are other beauties like proof reading texts, data entry or even so called 'Internet research' where companies claim they'll pay you for surfing the Internet. If it sound too good to be true then it probably is. In general avoid 'registration fees'. Online businesses do not have the same administrative overheads as traditional offices so why do they need a 'registration fee'?

 

Avoid The Home Working Jobs Scams:

 

As a general principle remember “caveat emptore” (buyer beware). There are plenty of decent people offering genuine value and high quality service but there are also a lot of sharks. You should keep your guard and carefully consider what people are telling you. Don't be too eager to believe the hype.

 

Firstly there is no quick and easy way to get rich, well none that's legal anyway. The only way is through your own time and effort. Anyone who tells you that you can be rich without working for it is lying – pure and simple. Secondly any legitimate company will be more than happy to offer you references, provide full contact details (which you should verify) and will answer any queries you may have. They'll also have a clear and unambiguous refund policy; will offer you concise 'terms of services' (often called 'Terms and Conditions') which you should read carefully.

 

If the home working jobs involve selling products than do some research into the potential markets. You can do this through search engines, forums and social networking sites. If you and those you know wouldn't buy it chances are no one else will either. Similarly if the work involves some sort of production line assembly be clear exactly what the company will pay you for each item you produce. If they say it depends upon many other factors don't buy into it.

 

Genuine Home Working Jobs:

 

So what are the genuine opportunities and how can you find them. The most important point here is to do your research. Search widely through the search engines and directories. participate in forums and related social networks and groups. Ask other people what they've found effective. Read independent review sites and check out the blogs.

 

Also consider that the Internet is a reflection of the wider real world. If somethings makes money in the real world then their likely to have potential as possible home working jobs. Probably the best opportunities at the moment combine conventional high paid activities with the market accessibility of the Internet.

 

Advertising is increasingly moving away from traditional media to the Internet. Affiliate marketing takes full advantage of this and there is some big money to be made here. Again research is everything but there are some excellent courses you can access to learn the techniques you'll need to succeed. Similarly because of the collapse of the established exchanges and financial trading houses there is an increasing opportunity for sole traders on the Internet.

 

Added to this are the more accepted ways to make money online. Setting up your own online store or selling through auction sites like eBay can be very rewarding especially if you can find decent wholesale suppliers. There are many more opportunities than those listed here but all have one thing in common. They all take time and effort to perfect. All require that you learn some basic skills and marketing strategies.

 

Those that succeed at making money online really do work 4 hours a day for a 6 figure income. But that's because they've worked really hard to get there. They have achieved the 'dream lifestyle' and so can you if you are prepared to put the work in to your home working jobs.

Tracing An Email Tricks - The Importance Of Tracing An Email

The Internet has created many important tools for personal and business users including email. Unfortunately spammers have also abused emails, and those wishing to hide behind them in order to spread gossip, undermine business dealings and communicate in secret. It becomes necessary to trace an email in order to find the source of the email especially where a crime has been committed using email.

Email trace reports can be used to provide such information as city, state, country, the general longitude and latitude and quite possibly th
street or area of the origin of the email.

Trace email services can help individuals trace any email that originates from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the U.S.A., and the UK among other countries.

Emails although they are fast and seemingly to disappear as soon as you press the send button, linger on company computers; on servers and on the receiver's computer, just waiting to be discovered by a trace. Emails that individuals send while at work actually are the property of the company and even if the individual has deleted the email, the company can obtain a backup copy.

Emails are often used as evidence, which speaks of the importance of tracing them. A good example would be the emails used in Microsoft's anti-trust case where four-year old emails were recovered and used as evidence.

Tracings can become difficult if the sender is using an Internet Proxy. This can however be overcome by detecting the proxy and still returning a correct location. Another situation, which makes a trace difficult, is if the sender is using a dial-up Internet connection over a long-distance telephone call. In these cases it is still possible to get an accurate trace if the individual's ISP allows users access from anywhere in the country by routing the connection over the telephone network first, this way the correct country still will show up but the city or town will not. This will make the location less accurate but you will still get the correct country of origin. If the ISPs have expanded and have a new batch of numbers it may take a few weeks for the new numbers to be recorded which may throw off the results of the trace (this is rare). Despite these difficulties email traces are still an important part of dealing with email fraud and misuse.

Making Money On The Internet From Scratch Is Not Easy...but Does Hype Help?

If you are anything like me when you first heard that there is masses of money to be made on the Internet you thought ok, let's have some of it then! You perhaps 'googled' Home Business Opportunities – or Make Money – or 'I want loads of Dosh' (there are more than half-million entries for that! – amazing!) – or whatever…And then you must have thought – oh heck! (or words that effect!!!)
How Many????

How do you choose from all the millions of 'biz ops' out there…?

I know I'll go for the ones th
t promise me lots of noughts for only a few minutes a day of work? Of course that's what we want so you/we send off our $47.00 here and $27.00 there and if you/we are particularly gullible even the occasional $97.00 here and there! And all we end up doing is making big money for other people (but that was not the idea though was it?) and getting an electronic library full of books all telling us (in so many words) the same thing!

Yes, the Internet does have countless millions of people logging on every day
wanting information, entertainment, news, products and – yes, home business opportunities! – but also there are millions of people all trying to sell the same stuff to these people. The competition is pretty intense for their dollars – or pounds or euros – or whatever! And of course people being people - they will try anything to gain your/my attention for the goods, information and services they are trying to sell.

And so as we surf and search for our ideal home business opportunities we come across some of the most amazing HYPE (highly exaggerated advertising/claims) ever invented!

So a little bit of advice – don't take too much notice of any ads you may see that claim -
"You will Explode your Income" (unless, of course, it's from a pyrotechnics company!)

Then there is the
"Earn $100.000.00 in 4 months – risk free" (yeah right!)
or
"Create an Unstoppable Avalanche of Eager Buyers"….(eh? - Think about that one?)

"Use my Marketing System exactly as I describe and with some time and effort on your part you can earn some money" may not sound as sexy as -

"My Marketing System will Launch your Earnings into Orbit" (what does this mean? - unless it's from NASA inviting you to put your savings aboard the next space shuttle!)

but it is a much more realistic expectation. The second headline is just meaningless hype. And I HATE Hype don't you?

Another trick that really gets my goat – is the buy now or loose offer – if you don't buy today you will have pay double because I will put the price up – (yeah sure!) months later – or even years in some cases – you hit the same website and guess what…yep - the offer is still EXCATLY the same!
Of course it is!!!

The final thing I need to mention here before I get to the main reason for this article is how do Internet Marketers come up with the values for their products? My e-book is worth $97.00 but you can have it free!….eh? Do you know anybody in this World who would go into a regular bookstore and pay $97.00 for a book? I'll tell you I don't that's for sure! And if the book is REALLY worth $97.00 do you think you would get it for nothing…?

Ok, the idea for this article is not to be negative – there ARE thousands and thousands of good online home businesses available on the Internet – but I promise you this, you will not make any money in any of them without any effort.

If you are looking to start an Online Home Business and you want the best piece of advice that I can give you… Whatever you choose to do (even if it takes you lots of trail and error to decide) just STAY FOCUSED. Persistence, honestly, is the ONLY attribute you need to be successful online.

Making money on the Internet from scratch is NOT easy – do not believe anyone who tells you it is – but it is easier if you do one thing at a time – and do not hop about from one enticing and exciting program to the next being taken in by all the hype – like I did. Yes, you my gain some useful experience doing this – but you will also quickly become very frustrated and end up pointlessly spending too much money and getting nowhere.

Of course, I understand the Marketers requirement for Hype – but is there anyone out there who actually likes it – and is there not a better way of selling?

Business Process Management Consulting

This article provides useful, detailed information about Business Process Management Consulting.

Decision-making is the primary task of a manager. While making decisions, it is common that managers consult the existing organizational policies relevant to the decisions. Policies provide the basic framework that managers operate in. Policies exist at all levels in the organization. Some may be major company policies affecting the whole organization, while others may be minor in nature affecting the departments or sections with
n the departments. Thus, in business process management consulting policies are intended to provide guidance to managers in decision-making. These policies are a one time standing decision, in the light of which, so many routine decisions are made.

In the absence of appropriate policies, managerial decision-making may be analogous to \"reinventing the wheel\" every time. For example, a policy on internal promotions greatly helps the manager in filling the vacancies. Whenever vacancies arise, he simply goes by the existing promotion policy of the organization. Sound policies, thus save lot of time in decision-making and avoid confusion.

When talking about business process management consulting, policies specify the boundary conditions of decisions. Thus, when decisions are actually made, they conform to the policy relevant to the decision. If the policy of an organization is to face competition with quality products, the emphasis naturally will be on issues relating to improving the quality of the product. All the decisions that affect the product quality are normally taken in the light of the explicit policy. Policies developed carefully and understood perfectly result in consistency in planning.

Policies help to ensure that all units of an organization operate under the same ground levels. They facilitate coordination and communication between various organizational units. This is possible because policies make consistency in action possible. In view of the importance of policies in guiding executive behavior, they have to be formulated carefully.

The Relevance of Store Metrics

Store metrics are important in achieving positive store performance and customer satisfaction. Implementing an efficient system can do wonders for your business.

Being a store manager is not an easy job at all. The job comes with a lot of tasks, responsibilities, and decisions to make, which can very much determine the overall success of the store or the business. Thus, there is a need to develop and implement equally efficient store metrics. One very distinguishing characteristic of store metrics is that they hold much po
er and influence when it comes to making decisions.

Let us take a look at the coffee shop scenario, for instance. Let us suppose that you are the manager here. You survey the crowd on a Tuesday night and speculate that it would be a slow night. Suddenly, at half past midnight, a huge crowd drops by your coffee shop, ordering lots of beverages and pastries. You quickly lose track of time because you go about the tiring process of taking and serving orders. Just then, you are informed that you are running out of milk, which is very essential in preparing the beverages your customers are ordering. You quickly call your commissary, only to find out that there is only one case of milk left in stock. To make matters worse, you ask for the expiration date of the milk in question, and you learn that it's already past expiry. What do you do? This is a tough scenario for any store manager. But with the implementation of store metrics, the whole decision making process could be made easier.

From that scenario, let us move on to PRISM or Pioneering Research for In-Store Metric. This is a research project that has been funded by approximately forty retail businesses and companies. Some of these companies include multibillion dollar corporations, such as Walt Disney, Procter and Gamble, Miller Brewing, Coca Cola, 3D, and Kellogg. These companies are also sharing whatever data is collected by the project in its entirety. The project is aimed to determine the purchasing behavior of customers. With the launch of the project, infrared rays have actually been installed at the counters of a few branches of the stores of these companies. These infrared rays were installed for the purpose of counting how many people have walked behind that particular counter. With this calculation also came the calculation for the subsequent purchases that have been made by the customers.

The project was actually launched in the year 2006. At the time, it was just a dry run that was implemented. Ten stores were included n the dry run. With the success of the dry run came the full launch of the whole project. From the original ten stores, roughly 200 stores have now been installed with these infrared mechanisms.

With store metrics being focused on the purchasing behavior of customers, the management can now focus their efforts on how to maximize from the data that have been collected over time. What's more, the system can work efficiently in determining just how the store can improve, towards the goals of stronger performance and customer satisfaction. And this is not just about gaining more profit, you know. Store metrics can also be used in determining just how you can improve the shopping performance of your customers. This way, your business will become more appealing to their eyes.

Virtual Professionals - 2003 Snap Shot

Virtual professionals are a relatively new phenomena in the workforce, and all indications are that it could potentially become the norm in the 21st century. The information age presented technology that allows people to work for anyone, anywhere, assuming the right infrastructure is in place. Although some of us were working virtually prior to the turn of the century, a full eighty percent did not begin working that way until 1999. This wave corresponds with the availability of computer technology and affordable, high speed Internet access.
Nearly everyone interviewed was the owner or co-owner of their own business, and nearly seventy percent of these virtual professionals became entrepreneurs simultaneously with becoming virtual professionals.

So, who are these virtual professionals? The majority of people working virtually were in the 36 to 45 year old range, with the twenties close behind making nearly eighty percent between 25 and 45 years old. Although the survey was conducted across a broad range of business related forums, a number of respondents said they were virtual assistants (VAs), a relatively new industry in its own right. Building on the concept of secretaries and administrative assistants in the traditional workforce, VAs perform business services and administrative tasks for other professionals. Virtual professionals were also consultants, web designers, programmers, graphic artists and writers. The trades which typically are creative, intellectual and autonomous lend themselves to virtual professions. It will be interesting to see in the future whether the number of other professions entering the virtual world grows to meet the vast number of virtual assistants prepared to help them!

Scott Allen, a multi-preneur and About.com Entrepreneurs Guide, managed distributed teams for an enterprise software company prior to setting out on his own. Suzette Flemming, Flemming Business Services, transitioned into her 100% virtual business from part time telecommuting as a teacher and office manager. Most virtual assistants worked in offices, as secretaries and assistants, and already had the right skills to be able to deliver services before pulling the plug and going to work virtually. Indeed, most virtual professionals had a career which in some way prepared them for this way of life and work - even Blaine Hilton, a computer consultant, said his brief stint as a carpet cleaner provided the motivation for wanting to be self employed!

Not surprisingly, ninety-six percent of the virtual professionals were based in home offices. This is not unusual for small businesses; for some this is a stepping stone and for others, a permanent lifestyle. Many had home offices already set up and found the transition easy once the Internet technology became available. Some, like Janice Byer at Docu-Type Administrative & Web Design Services, had both the corporate and entrepreneurial experience working for her dad but "didn't want to 'go out' to work when he retired." The majority of virtual professionals are solo entrepreneurs without any employees.

Thirty percent of the virtual professionals said that child care was the major factor in starting their business, and for sixty percent, their business provides their sole income. Women working at home with small children in the background have their own unique challenges, but imagine the education their children will get about entrepreneurship. Renae Bolton, owner of Triple J WordProcessing Co., left the office to fix her son a snack and he called out "Mom - one of your clients is blinking you!" when an Instant Message came in.

A virtual professional can be anywhere on the planet, again assuming the technology is available, and for that reason, the survey purposefully did not collect geographic information from the respondents. However, the survey respondents came from global networking environments online in order to get a diverse response. Although the United States was a leader, a significant number of virtual professionals were from Australia and Canada.

Working virtually can be a challenge, and without the right technology, it can be downright impossible. In the next two articles of this series, we will look at the perks and perils of working this way, and later, what tools and technologies are popular amongst virtual professionals in 2003.

Make Big Money Fast - Get The Money In The Middle

On December 12, 1900 a thirty eight year old Charles M. Schwab set into motion a speech that would inevitably lead to convincing Banker J.P. Morgan to buy out the Steel Baron Andrew Carnegie and form the billion dollar enterprise - the United States Steel Corporation of which Charles was made president.

No money was required by Schwab to apply his passion and draw people together. One single idea was all he needed and was able to convert that into a fortune. One idea is all you need to make big money fast and get the money in the middl
. This is to say, that if you have the skill to connect two people together for the purpose of doing business, then you can profit from that connection.

Can you think of some ways people already profit as middlemen (intermediaries)? One way to do this would to be an affiliate marketer. As an affiliate marketer, you can take advantage of introducing buyers to a seller for a profit.

One such strategy is to sign up on clickbank, pick something you want to promote or sell, create very well written sales copy that sends the customer to your seller's site and you collect a percentage or set commission.

All you need to do is find a way to get customers over to your site and from there; you introduce them to the seller. This can be done best by researching a variety of problems that the customers are experiencing that your seller solves through his or her product or service. Then, write about these solutions in order to attract traffic and convert viewers into buyers.

Business Coach Emphasizes Soft Skills to Improve Performance

Categorized as "soft skills," the structure of the EQ powerhouse includes objective self-awareness, effective self-management, and the use of social/communication skills that help facilitate understanding and collaboration with others...

It's not how smart you are; it's how connected you are. The business coaching industry is increasingly looking at developments in the understanding of peak performance to help leaders and managers develop
heir skills. Valedictorians and technical experts are toppling from their pedestals as a large amount of research confirms a new formula for stardom in the workplace. The qualities of EQ, or one's "emotional intelligence quotient," turns out to be twice as important as IQ or technical expertise in determining who will succeed in the workplace.

Categorized as "soft skills," the structure of the EQ powerhouse includes objective self-awareness, effective self-management, and the use of social/communication skills that help facilitate understanding and collaboration with others. In Working with Emotional Intelligence, author Daniel Goleman confirms the importance of EQ with an exhaustive review of research on top-ranked managers throughout the business world. Outcomes show conclusively that those with higher EQ consistently surpassed colleagues with deficits in "soft skills," despite the presence of superior IQ and technical expertise among the latter.

Since these skills are not commonly addressed in formal education, their development is arbitrary for many. Fortunately, there are solutions. WealthBridge Connect, an elearning company that focuses on productivity solutions for businesses and entrepreneurs, focuses their training programs around EQ development in today's workplace. Co-founder and Chief Learning Officer, Dr. J. Gregory Gillum, launched his personal journey of self-discovery through the coaching process, and it changed the course of his professional life. Recalling the moment of self-awareness, Gillum remembers looking at his business coach as he said, "I want to do what you do." His coach responded, "Why don't you?" Eight months later, Gillum became an entrepreneur in the coaching world. Prior to his role at WealthBridge Connect, Dr. Gillum served as the Chief Executive Officer of humanfusion, an award winning coaching and consulting firm that focused on leadership and management development.

Gillum's mission as a business coach involves teaching the skills of EQ to individuals aspiring to realize their full potential. His ideas follow the findings of Goleman's research: "If you can develop core competencies in this area, you will enhance your ability to rise in any organization." Gillum's unique approach to EQ training utilizes the integration of EQ into the four life domains, all of which are essential to success. Taken together, they encompass elements such as the organization of physical space, time management, effective focus, an objective awareness of strengths and limitations, and the cultivation of a sense of gratitude and accountability to the community and world at large. Gillum reports that as clients began to practice the disciplines within each domain, they experience a powerfully expanded sense of vision and possibility.

Gillum enthusiastically describes transformative outcomes with the coaching process. In addition to enhanced self-awareness and expanded vision, clients can anticipate dramatic increases in productivity. "I coached a group of realtors, and every top performer dramatically increased their productivity during the coaching process. One first-year real estate agent landed in the top 25 (of over 300) for her geographic area. She was astounded," Gillum said. "I have had similar success with financial planners, small business owners and other entrepreneurs. Coaching has a dramatic impact on performance in any field."

Gillum addresses the area of management with a technique he learned in the pharmaceutical industry called assimilation, an intervention designed for managers with work performance problems. The initial steps involve individual sessions with the manager and interviews with workplace associates who can provide additional perspective on the problem. The coaching strategy culminates in a powerful, live version of the 360 evaluation in which all parties involved in the problem assemble together. With the support of the coach, the manager must decide how to handle issues concerning employees and workplace issues. Gillum summarizes the benefits of this high-impact learning experience: "It creates public accountability and also requires everyone's participation in getting to solutions. The manager's performance improves, and the resulting 'buy-in' strengthens the sense of community."

A critical part of the coaching experience is client behavioral assessment. To address this critical success factor, Gillum uses the Winslow Dynamics Profile (WDP), thought to be the gold standard of assessments by behavioral psychologists worldwide. WDP measures 24 critical traits, including the individual's emotional intelligence. WealthBridge Connect is one of the few companies in the Midwest licensed to use the WDP.

Apart from his own passion for the work of WealthBridge Connect, Gillum is confident about the future of coaching. "Coaching is rapidly being legitimized in the business literature, as well as through personal and organizational validation with objective outcomes. Rapid changes in the workplace will necessitate the need for coaching as we move deeper into the information age, with knowledge workers becoming more in demand. The new work environment will require a visionary style of management, which gives employees permission to explore, question, and participate in the development of their own potential, and to contribute meaning and significance to the mission of their organizations."

Cufflinks are not just fashion accessories for men. These little cufflinks are also good investments. Thats because cufflinks are very valuable especially if they are decorated with precious stones. It is not surprising to see that some are collecting cufflinks not just as a hobby but as an investment. If you are a serious cufflink collector should always have cufflink boxes. The cufflink storage will protect your collection from possible damages.

For the serious collectors of cufflinks, their collection will not become complete
f they cannot store the cufflinks in safe cufflink storage. It is very unprofessional and hazardous also if the cufflinks are lumped together in a bag or pouch.

Link Building Company - Boost Your Web Hits With Effective Online Marketing

Link building is one of the most effective and affordable online marketing strategies available. In times of economic recession, you should be seeking out the services of a link building company to ensure you keep your name front of mind for potential customers.

Link Building is Highly Recommended

If you've done any reading of the business pages lately, you've probably found lots of tips on how to survive the recession. The consensus across these articles is that you should not give up on your efforts
to market your company. Your competitors will quickly take over any ground you give up in the publicity race.

So, how can you continue to market when you have a limited budget? Try search engine optimization (SEO). A recent article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer provided some great tips on how to use simple SEO techniques to improve your company's organic search engine results. (Organic indicates that you appear high in search engine rankings naturally, and have not paid to be there.) The article suggests that you improve your Web site content and also build a web of links from other sites.

One thing the article does not mention is that link building is becoming an increasingly important factor in SEO. In fact, writer Ron Callari believes that in 2009, Google will shift its algorithm to 90% links and only 10% page content.

Clearly, link building is the way to go. But how do you get started? A few years ago, a simple link exchange with partners and clients was considered a good way to begin. The situation has changed in the last little while, and link building is considerably more involved than it once was.

Link Building Companies Have the Expertise You Need

A link building company can advise you on the most effective methods for increasing inbound links to your company's Website. If you have a strict budget, they can tailor the solutions to your finances. They may use a combination of any of the following techniques, outlined in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer article:

Maps - Get a listing in map sites like Google Maps. With Google turning to universal search (listing everything from Web pages to images to news items in its search engine results), a map listing not only provides a link, it may also be included in search results.

Social Media - Use the many social media sites out there to build a profile for your business and create links to your site.

Blogs - Start a blog for your business. Use it to communicate and create links to your site.

Articles - Write content (with links) for online article and press release databases.

Sounds straightforward, so why do you need a link building company? Here are just a few reasons:

The content and links must contain keywords that are relevant to your business. Solid keyword research is needed before you can start building links.

It is not enough to just write an occasional article or blog post. You need a detailed plan for continual generation of content. The more you have, the more often you will be found by search engines. The more you are found, the more relevant you are deemed to be. The more relevant, the higher the search engine ranking.

Some databases require payment. A link building company can advise you which ones are worth paying for so you can avoid the trap of spending money on something that offers little return.

Link building is critical to successful SEO. With a link building company on your side, you can take advantage of this highly targeted and effective marketing method.

Internet Advertising : What is an Advertising Website?

The key to increasing the volume of sales on your website is to increase the number of visitors you get by effective use of internet advertising. The advertising must not only reach many people, it must reach many of the right people.

Turning casual visitors into paying customers

Logic will tell you that if you receive more visitors to your web site, you will also receive more paying customers.  Internet advertising can help to increase the number of casual visitors and the number of paying c
stomers. The best way to increase the number of visitors is to advertise on the internet.  This can be accomplished by more than one method, but definitely an advertising website helps to focus attention on your product or service and on your web site. The number of times your site advertisement is accessed helps to control the rank of the page itself.

Increasing the volume of visits to your website

In the final analysis, your internet business is driven by the level of traffic that arrives there.  Because there are millions of web locations on the internet, all working for the business of customers, you must have a web site that draws attention.  In this way, your website will be noticed as one that people visit when they are looking for the product that you sell or the service that you provide.  An internet advertising site is a one of a kind marketing tool that promotes your business over other similar business sites.  The increased visits to your web site help your new business to be visited by web crawlers and indexed much faster than otherwise.

Target your audience

Internet advertising like any other type of advertising depends upon reaching the right people.  If you set up your advertising on web sites that are visited by the type of audience who would use your product anyway, you will find increasing sales almost without trying.  The key is to understand who your audience is and what products or services they will use.  The understanding you gain will allow you to place advertising correctly and to say the right words that will reach this targeted group of people. 

More visits and more sales

When you have a new business on the internet, it may take a while to get noticed, especially if there are other businesses that sell similar products or services at about the same price.  One of the ways to overcome the disadvantage of being just one of the crowd is to take an active role in your internet advertising so that you are creating a way to bring more visitors to your site.  This will encourage a higher page rank for your web site which in turn brings even more visitors.

Advertising links

Advertising links created by internet advertising of your product or service to your own web site help to bring more visitors and, by extension, more sales to you.  The trick is to select advertising links that reach members of your target audience at high numbers.  Reaching the right audience with your advertising links is at least as important as reaching any audience at all. Web sites devoted to advertising create lots of interest and activity amongst the search engine spiders, because there is a variety of products, hopefully all in the same general field or service type.
