Take The Power Back
Far too often these days I run into people that are allowing technology to control their lives when it doesn't have to be that way.Put bluntly, a blackberry, a laptop, a cell phone or a PDA shouldn't be controlling your life. If they are, it may be time to take the power back.In fact, I'm only in my early 30's and I can remember a time when we didn't have automated voice-mail or call waiting. And a cell phone was a luxury. But guess what, even back when people didn't have cell phones if the car broke down on that road so far from home, they still survived.

Sending Digital Images to Your Friends and Family by Email the Correct Way!
The other day I received a few digital shots from my sister down Tampa way by email. Boy were they huge! I had to scroll down the page to view the picture. Don't do this. It's annoying and for some, can take a long time to open. Anyway, if you're using a free email service like Hotmail, it won't let you do it if the file is too big. Here's what you need to do.When you bought your digatal camera, it came with an editing software which I hope you installed on your computer. Before emailing your digital image or images, you need to crop your image to remove any unnecessary

Wow! I just finished sending out my ezine and I'm exhausted. For something I do for free and is suppose to be a labor of love, it sure has turned into a full-time job.

When I started ezine publishing about five years ago, it was fun. You could send out a mailing by 9:00 and have sales rolling in by noon. It's not like that anymore. Heck, sometimes you wonder if half of your subscribers are even getting your ezine, let alone taking the time to actually read it. And to what do we owe this pleasure to? Email filtering. Yes, that's right -- filtering (which was started to keep out that "4 letter word" I can't even print for fear this article will go straight to your trash bin) has made every ezine publisher across the globe jump through hoops to make sure their issues are getting through.

The customers you already have could be your biggest lead source, and you may not even realize it.Think about it this way, every customer you have, most likely has brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, and friends, so why not tap into it.Here are a few ideas to draw leads out of your current customers.1. Whenever you come in contact with one of your customers, give them two of your business cards, and tell them directly that one is for them and the other is so they can refer someone to you.Send them greeting cards on their birthday and on holidays wi

He Got a New Job - A Really Great One!
I wasn't sure what to think when my husband called to tell me he got a new job. I guess I had really gotten used to the fact that his current job from home would mean that he was always here when I needed him. Now everything has changed.I start to think about things like picking the kids up from school, or doing the shopping with the 4 of them in tow instead of having him here to watch most or all of them.The money is great. Our income has just tripled. But in the long run will it be worth it? How do we cope with missing each other? Maybe we'll have to buy 2000 e

Create a Magic Connection with Clients, Leads, and Business Associates -- Part II
Part I of this article explored how Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) pinpoints ways to gain instant rapport with clients, leads, and business associates, and more specifically, how we can use physiology, matching and mirroring to create instant magic communication.Part II examines how NLP uses tonality and words to establish rapport.TONALITYWhile physiology accounts for 55% of communication among humans, tonality accounts for 38%. Most people have had the experience of someone saying, “I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong.” While the words on the page seem to indic

I still publish in text format but you'll find a lot of publishers publishing in HTML. Sure, it looks pretty, but with HTML email many times it's blocked by the end user or interpreted to be "junk mail." It has a higher chance of being "killed" as it's often seen as a possible virus by many virus checking programs.

Some say why not publish in PDF and send it out as an attachment? Again, not something filters like. Attachments may be a virus, so again, your message may be deleted before hitting your subscribers' inboxes. Also, PDF files are usually quite large in size, which many subscribers may not like clogging up their mailboxes.

So what's a publisher to do? Many have t

Having been in the Franchising Industry and set up franchised units in 23-states and 4 nations, which did business in 450 cities and 110 major markets, we learned early on that once we had set up the initial marketing Bonzai and Blitz mission that most of our franchised outlet’s business came from word of mouth, not on-going advertising.
