Micrsoft’s new Mesh gives you 2 GB of free online storage space. Using a web browser you can upload one file at a time which is a pain in the butt. BUT they have a download program that intergrates with windows explorer. Once you chose a folder(s) it will automatically keep those file synced up with the online storage. Even better you can install it on multiple computers and add each pc as a user and keep files synced across different pc’s or between a work group thats working on a project. For a Beta application it seems to work rather good on my Vista OS.

I’m so impressed that you are only thirteen and already have done such extensive research regarding business ventures. In my opinion, the first option you listed seems unique. Which is good. I would encourage you not to let the cost of web design to discourage you. After all anything that has ever been done has been written in a book.

Consider learning computer programming as a hobby. Research the ideal platform for your website and go from there. One book at a time.

Discuss your plans with your parents. Ask them to buy the book for you. If that is not an option, consider going to the library and checking out programming books. The only problem with this option is the fact that you will need to keep checking out the same book in order to complete the activities.

There are plenty of other business ideas that you may not have considered. Read the articles listed below to get some more ideas.

Hi suedoo

I am on-line marketing for quite some time and have never heard of a hosting company called Successful Marketing Strategies.

You must have heard that Internet is full of scam and hype and the thing you have been pulled into looks like nothing but another get rich quick scam.

Thankfully there are several ways to earn money on-line. You just have to find what is the best for you, but keep in mind that big fat 90% of all Internet “get rich” solutions are waste of time and money.

You’ll find plenty of list brokers and maybe an email service provider if you don’t already have one.

Jere answers:

The emails you are receiving sound like borderline spam, while it’s acceptable to send a promotion for someone else’s product to an email address you have a relationship with, it’s not considered ethical to share email addresses with other companies.

There are email list brokers, often the same companies that collect snail mail lists too. Many list cost thousands of dollars. Spam Can regulations specify that emails are to be send only with the recipient’s permission, internet postmasters are on the lookout to halt multiple mails from a single source. You might look into buying ad space in targeted emagazines.

Marketers will set up campaigns solely for the purpose of creating their own email list to which they send useful information, promotions for their own products and products of joint partners who swap mailings. Marketers may value their mails list ot be worth $1 per person, per month. The email sign up campaigns will generally offer an enticement, like a 20 page report that people have to sign up for, later a first contact email is sent asking them to verify that they have signed up to the list, this best practice is refereed to as double opt in emails.

Services that automate the email marketing process and also improve email delivery rates called auto responders, aweber is the biggest name in the field, charging $20/mo to send out predefined sequences on emails.

Jere answers:

For that you probably need a auto responder service like aweber or get response.

If you are using something like zencart to make sell products, then there is a plugin available for that.

You should first give your potential ( clients) a lot of good valuable content before singining up, after signup.

I think a lot of money can be made on the Internet.

For example, I joined on CashCrate and filled out some free offers and its going very well. And there are no fees to join. It is totally free.

Http://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=102685

This may not sound like much, but for every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn. And for every person that one of your referrals refer to CashCrate, you get 10%. It may take some time to build up the number of referrals necessary to make a lot of money, but in time–this could be a great source of income–making money while other people are in a sense, working for you.

And by the way–never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn’t need to charge you.

I am not advertising this site. Just answering the question.

Jere answers:

This is an interesting question, but I will speak from personal experience. I started my coaching practice using the name Courageous Living. Then, after just a few months, I started realizing that no one cares about your business name unless you are a BIG business. I stayed away from using my name at first, because it is long and easily misspelled. Most online marketers use their name, and here’s why. People buy from people, when you are a solo-preneur you want people to connect with you, get them to know, like and trust you and you’ll quickly develop an audience and a following.

I find being authentic in your business is the best way to go. Do what you feel in your heart is the right thing for you. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. You are going to have critics no matter what you do, so if your family googles you – let your light shine. You have every right to be out there marketing yourself. Critics will only arise because they don’t have the courage to do what you are doing.

Best of luck!

Jere answers:

A true business credit card is a line of credit that is taken in the name of the business, under the business’ credit. Activity, whether good or bad, is reflected on your business’ credit report through D&B and other financial institutions, and the liability for any debts incurred and bills owed is with the business.However, some companies out there offer “business” credit cards which they require a person guarantee for. These institutions will often ask for a personal guarantee, and will almost always ask for a social security number from the person applying for the card. If this is the case, the credit card is not a business credit card, but is simply a personal credit card which is used for the business. The business is not liable for bills and debts – you are.When applying for a credit card for your business, watch out for areas asking for your SSN (and not your TaxID or EIN) and be wary of any credit card that asks for a personal guarantee. By ensuring that your credit card is in the name of your business, you can help to build your business’ credit, while avoiding creating problems with your own.

Many companies offer a list of credit cards that are issued under the business name only. Those lists typically run $300-$900, depending on the quality of the information inquiring. I would suggest starting your search online via google or yahoo. Search for “strong business credit” (just like that in quotes) to find services that sell the information.

Good luck,

Consider an internet based business since you have low start up funds. One of the best recession proof business you can align yourself with is one that truly fills a need. Most small business owners desperately need help getting promotion online. If you can show them how to get traffic, leads and sales at an affordable cost you can do very well.

One of the easiest to start with is Viral Coop. You can get paid instantly for helping small business owners and marketers get traffic to their websites. There is no cost to get involved.

Jere answers:

Get a sample lease from the landlord. In a strip mall, you’ll be exclusively leasing the space which you occupy plus a non-exclusive use of the parking lot, garbage container, landscaping, etc. The charges for maintaining these things are called “Common Area Charges” and are paid for by the tenants each months as a function of the percentage of the center which you occupy.

In addition, you’ll be paying a pro rata share of real estate taxes and assessments, if any. All the above things are paid for by the landlord and charged back to all the tenants. The landlord does not make any money off of these. Also, he has to pay for management to the tune of about five percent of gross income.

What the landlord gets from the tenant is “net rent”. What the tenant pays the landlord is “gross rent” which includes what goes to the landlord plus the common area charges. Now what’s to negotiate? Just the amount of rent per square foot you’ll pay monthly, any cost-of-living charges the landlord wishes to include, tenant improvements should the landlord be willing to put them in for you in order to customize the space to your use and free rent to both entice you to occupy the space and to allow you time to fix the space properly to start your business.

A comprehensive answer to which I’ll add: Shop around to assure yourself that the landlord is charging market rents and that his strip is located such that you can have a viable business.

LOL! Women and girls do not belong to anyone, ever.

When you only treat women like an object they tend to dislike that. You only want to do your biz up in their nethers, and then walk them to the door and be done with them – its the way you’d throw away kleenex after you’ve blown your nose into it and now its good for nothing else, as far as your concerned.

Usually, after they hook up, women like to hang our, cuddle, talk, it is an emotional thing for them.

If you’re up front that you’re only looking for a fvck-buddy, rather than wooing them and making them think that you’re interested in them as a person, then you’ll get the women who are like you, hedonistic and only in it for the nut. Then those women will be glad to walk away once she is as done with you as you are done with her.

It’d be like you need a job and some guy who owns a store is all interested in you. You show up for work, the first thing is he needs you to unload a truck – so you do it. Then you go to him to see what is next and he walks you to the door and sends you on your way because he no longer wants to be bothered by you. His needs have been met, so bye bye…

How would you feel? He just used you to unload his truck, He was never interested in you.

Start with a search engine and a company name.

You want to talk to a person without having to fill out some email- “contact us and we will contact you,” kinda form.

You want to find an address too- not a PO Box, but a physical address. Usually I would Google Earth the address and look at the company’s front door- if they have a concrete sign out front they are planning to be around. If they have a paper sign taped to the door then…. Well that doesn’t look good.

Are they North American bound, or in another country? Not that the US or Canada has the best enforcement of these things, but some countries have no enforcement. And if something goes wrong fighting a company internationally is impossible while US bound companies can be sued.

Contact the city and get licensing information.

Do they have a Wiki page (just thought of this one)?

What about the BBB? Consumer Affairs? Business magazines like Inc are a great source.

The first nine out of every ten you should figure them as scams in the first ten minutes of research, while that one will take a little longer. Generally I did a few minutes of looking, crossed them off the list and moved on, if they did not get crossed off in ten minutes then come back to them.

Its my experience that about 99% are scams, so take care of your personal security first (SSN and computer).

When you decide say no the first time you talk to a salesmen and see what they do- if you get no call back then that is a good sign, if you get hounding calls every day you are talking to a company that does not care about you.

I hope that helps, if you need some help or maybe a lead on something that I know is legit then drop me an email and I will see what I can do to help you out.

A Keyword Driven Domain Name for your business. Since you are thinking of a local pool business think of something that will tell your clients where and who you are

A website created from a blog like wordpress. Give advise to people on how they can treat there pool and stuff like this. This will get people in your area to notice that you are a pro and seek out your advice

A hosting account to host your business

Merchant account or someway for you to take credit cards. You might be able to use paypal and have your clients locally pay you online.

Some marketing tools to hand your door to door clients.

A unique way you do business. Give your clients a reason why they should use your business over the other businesses in your area

Be sure you are ‘pinging’ the search engines so they know to come crawl your site.

how will your cards be different?

Jere answers:

It depends on how complicate you want it to be. If you just want a little picture or some lettering, then you can do it on most printing website. And how many are you printing?

You can print business card by yourself using MS Word. Avery (the paper company) sells the pre-cut business card, and you use the template to print off your own printer.

When you get fancy, you can use photoshop or whatever software to make PDF file, and you can use it to print. Make sure you have high enough resolutions.

Jere answers:

Paypal is not the best. Whenever there is a dispute they usually take the side of the consumer, and not the business owner (seller).

The tips that a small business owner should know about is to have the client make the purchase through a web portal custom made for your business. Use strong language and make the client opt-in a few times to suggest that he/she understands that the transaction is about to go through.

Additionally, offer a refund policy and an easy way to reach customer relations office.

To learn more about these types of business tips visit strongbusinesscredit.com or google for other “all business” websites on the web.

For your online purchases, Paypal is the best. You need not have a credit card for this. A free debit card will do. It is also very safe. Read more and apply for a paypal account through here: http://outsourcing-jobs.blogspot.com/2008/01/use-your-odesk-accounts-to-make-money.html

Contacting a Online business and asking them would be a good start.

But another thing you need to figure out is, what is the scope of your business, what do you hope to sell or what service will you provide? Market your website towards that and then it’ll be easier. As for the banking side of things paypal can take care of you, also I believe that amex has an online merchant site.

Ask the DA if you can have it expunged, and be upfront with him and let him know you can not afford the higher insurance for the speeding ticket, They will usually work with you.

Before you can become a Certified Residential Appraiser you will need an associate degree. As a trainee you will make less than minimum wage for 2-3 years. The when you get your license, you will have a hard time finding work, due to most AMC want at least 3 years of licensed experience. Since the HVVC came into effect, lenders are not allowed to order an appraisal from the appraiser. They all are using Appraisal Management companies, that take 30-60 percent of the fee. So what we use to get paid for a standard 1004 around $400-$500 per report, we now get $200-300 per report. Then you have your software fees around 100 per month, E&O insurance around $700 per year, car insurance, fuel, computer and office supplies, the list go on and on. Also lender will not let a trainee inspect any property or sign any report. It is really hard to find a mentor to teach you so you can get your license. If you don’t get certified and only get licensed the you can’t even get on the FHA roster and most AMC’s want certified appraisers and some states do not even have licensed. See below for what it takes to become certified in WA. Good luck

Experience
Before you may take the examination, you must:

find a certified appraiser willing to supervise your work experience as a trainee.
Work under the supervisory appraiser to get a minimum of 2 years’ real estate appraiser experience (24 months and 2,500 hours). Hours may be treated as cumulative in order to achieve the necessary hours of appraisal experience.
Education
To be eligible to take the examination, you must successfully complete:

an associate degree or higher in any field or 21 semester hours in specific subject matter courses, including:
English composition
Principles of economics (micro or macro)
Finance
Algebra, geometry, or higher mathematics
Statistics
Introduction to computers: Word processing/spreadsheets
Business or real estate law
AND a total of 200 classroom hours of approved real estate appraisal courses, including all of the following:
Subject Hours required
Basic appraisal principles 30 hours
Basic appraisal procedures 30 hours
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) 15 hours
Residential market analysis and highest and best use 15 hours
Residential appraiser site valuation and cost approach 15 hours
Residential sales comparison and income approaches 30 hours
Residential appraiser report writing and case studies 15 hours
Statistics, modeling and finance 15 hours
Advanced residential applications and case studies 15 hours

Jere answers:

I am sorry, but the GPA is too low for the schools you mentioned. I highly suggest my alma mater, Sonoma State, which has a very strong psychology department.

You must have three years of math classes, which qualify for the CSU admission requirements, with grades that are acceptable to CSUs or you will not meet the minimum math requirement for admission and admission will be denied if the minimum math requirement is not met. You appear to need to make up the geometry classes. Make sure that taking them on line will count for high school graduation and CSU admission. They should be taken at a regionally accredited school, which includes all public high schools and community colleges in California. They should not be taken at a school that has only national accreditation, which actually is a lower level than regional accreditation.

You do not need any IB classes for a CSU and your efforts should be devoted to raising your GPA, not to taking IB classes. A student should never take an IB or honors class unless the student strongly expects to be able to earn an A in it. It is much better to receive an A in a regular class than a B in an AP or honors class, as the B indicates that the class was too difficult for the student.

Best wishes.

If you are using an auto-responder like aweber or constant contact, you can log into your account and see the open rates for html sent emails. (does not work for text messages). That gives you some information, but the better strategy is to create more than one version of each email you send and test them against each other to see which one gets more opens.

The key element will be the SUBJECT of the email, and that is what you want to test.

I use Aweber and they will give you a lot feedback on how likely you email is to be delivered, as well as the actual delivery results. In fact they guide you through the process extensively. This does not work as a solution if you are trying to a mass mailing to people who have not opt-ed into your list. In fact, that is probably a real waste of time and resources.

The best way to make a mailing, if you do not have a list, is to contact newsletter owners (writing about your niche) and pay for them to drop an email(s) for you to their list. Just check out their readership counts to make sure you are getting what you pay for.

Good luck!

Hi Sharon
I am not totally surprised by what you are saying about that email harvesting software your web guy gave you, there are lots out that are way to complicated and just don’t work.
The software I use lets you do a complete search and save plus use the data completely free, so worries about wasting money on duff software.
When you first install the software it pops up a wizard that guides you through the process but it is really just typing in one box, so not rocket science.
If you are looking for thousands of email addresses then you can import a merge list which will increase the number of searches done.
Try it and I will be shocked if it doesn’t work you.

Honestly, one of the best uses of your marketing dollars is to spend them on trade shows. Do your research to find the right convention for your business and have well-designed, attractive trade show exhibits, and you are sure to get an excellent ROI.

Jere answers:

Most marketing firms do a lot of direct marketing. One might even suggest it’s traditionally the bread and butter of a marketing firm’s income. However, in order to properly manage a direct marketing campaign your firm will need to have adequate direct marketing support services, including lettershop services. These support elements will do the grunt work in your direct marketing campaign.

Direct marketing support services many involve such things as printing, mailings database management, and campaign management. While lettershop services handle issues tied to the distribution of your direct marketing campaign. This includes many mundane tasks such as labeling, presorting, folding, tracking and so on. However, as mundane as these tasks may be they are critical to the completion of a successful direct marketing campaign.

In most direct marketing campaigns, direct marketing support services, and lettershop services are handled by an outside vendor. As with the selection of any outside vendor, we suggest you do your research. But there’s a problem with this. Obviously, competitive marketing firms may be loathe to give you any information about the companies they use for direct marketing support services, and lettershop services. But we have found a way around that one, and it may sound silly but it actually works.

Call your congressman.

Stop laughing. We are serious.

Why, you may ask, we are not trying to get a bill passed? We are just looking for some good vendors for direct marketing support services and lettershop services, how could our congressmen help with that? Well, it is quite simple, political candidate do a lot of direct mailings, and they usually use local companies. Also, you are a small business in your congressman’s district; he will have a reason to help you.

Okay, so now you have found a good company to handing your direct marketing support services and lettershop services. Are there any other pitfalls? Of course there are. As with many other outside vendors, those dealing with direct marketing support services and lettershop services make money on volume. Meaning that quality control, though a priority, may not be their top priority. So you need to be especially carefully that all printed material, databases and instructions are given both verbally and in writing.

In our experience, if you have never worked with the vendor, we suggest you do this in person. Although thanks to digital printing a lot may be done via phone, FTP and email, we still feel that these initial contacts should be done in person. And do not give this job to a new hire or an intern. That is just asking for trouble. This needs to be done by someone who has been at your firm for at least a year. Someone who can think on his or her feet.

Another important thing about vendors who offer direct marketing supports services and lettershop services is that they see direct marketing campaigns every day. They have a sense of what works and what does not. If they question some aspect of your campaign, listen to them. They probably know what they are talking about. And, as you and vendor build trust; you may find them giving you pointers that they only share with valued customers. We might add that the referral from you congressman, might also help grease the early client vendor relations. And you thought that was a crazy suggestion, right?

Direct marketing channel is the method of selling directly to the end buyer from the manufacturer with no middle man or intermediary involved.
Farmers approach direct marketing in a variety of ways using single or multiple channels. The goal generally is to develop a strategy to sell all the product they produce. This can be through one marketing channel or several. Farms may also add additional direct market channels as the business grows. For instance, many farmers begin with selling through a farmers’ market or a roadside stand. As the business grows they can add other direct channels such as a CSA, grocery or restaurant sales. Direct sales channels for specific crops or a segment of a crop may be combined with wholesale channels. The options are nearly endless.

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK – lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.

Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Even if you buy books on “how to get grants” or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same – hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.

Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

“The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments.”

Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business — THERE’S NONE.
Http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show

Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. Minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program

Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women’s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women’s business center that will train women entrepreneurs

I suggest you read the following books to get ideas of how to finance your business:

Financing Your Small Business (Barron’s Business Library Series) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764124897/powerhomebizguid

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center’s Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It’s a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for “students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices.” Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don’t have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

There are some on-line business networking sites where businesses like yours are members and where, when you’ve built up some relationships, the people in your network recommend you to their network. (Send me an message and I’ll send you an invite to one that I belong to.)

Don’t forget the opportunities to promote what you do off-line. Again, one of the best ways is recommendations through networking. Check out what groups there are locally. We know an IT guy who uses this as a way of increasing his business and it works very well. People in his network will call him when they’re with one of their clients who mentions they’re having IT problems.

Jere answers:

A true business credit card is a line of credit that is taken in the name of the business, under the business’ credit. Activity, whether good or bad, is reflected on your business’ credit report through D&B and other financial institutions, and the liability for any debts incurred and bills owed is with the business.

However, some companies out there offer “business” credit cards which they require a person guarantee for. These institutions will often ask for a personal guarantee, and will almost always ask for a social security number from the person applying for the card. If this is the case, the credit card is not a business credit card, but is simply a personal credit card which is used for the business. The business is not liable for bills and debts – you are.

When applying for a credit card for your business, watch out for areas asking for your SSN (and not your TaxID or EIN) and be wary of any credit card that asks for a personal guarantee. By ensuring that your credit card is in the name of your business, you can help to build your business’ credit, while avoiding creating problems with your own.

Many companies offer a list of credit cards that are issued under the business name only. Those lists typically run $300-$900, depending on the quality of the information inquiring. I would suggest starting your search online via google or yahoo. Search for “strong business credit” (just like that in quotes) to find services that sell the information.

Good luck,

Absorbance of the stain creating substance directly affects the nature, and chances of removal of the stains.
If the substance can get absorbed very quickly then chances of its removal will be lesse.
However cetain steps are suggested to remove the stains from clothes:

-Blot any excess substance causing the stain when it happens.
-Promptness is very important. Aging, heat, and laundering before pretreatment can permanently set some stains.

-If you have determined the article should be dry cleaned, be sure to inform the profession cleaner what the stain is. For example, grease stains sometimes have iron in them from the cooking utensil and may need extra treatment. Also see alcohol below.

-Repeating the procedure or soaking overnight is often necessary. Soaking for long periods may cause possible dye shifting in silks and dark or bright colored garments.

-When removing stains, use a weak solution of the chosen product first and test it. Rinse well, several times if necessary, to be assured all traces of the solution are removed.

-Do not mix chemicals. Chlorine and ammonia will form toxic gases if mixed. Follow directions on labels of all commercial products. Have respect for chemicals.

-It is best to work a stain out from the opposite side or underside. This means apply the stain remover from the underside as well.

-Cold water as a stain remover will not set the stain. However, it might damage some fancy delicate fabrics.

-Stain removal can be impossible on some stains, especially chemical stains that are caused by substances like furniture polish, bleaches, fertilizers, medications, comestics, dyes, etc. This is because many foods contain dyes or retain chemicals fro processing. Today’s fabrics are more complex and many synthetic fabrics have chemical finishes.

-Many stains are difficult to remove. Do not expect an instant miracle. Time can be your friend. Repeating the procedure may be necessary.

If you have good business sense you need to work with something rare and/or a necessity.

I just recently got involved with the best one I have ever seen! A fortune 250 company bought out a network marketing company for 190 million! It’s structure is a uni-level structure. It doesn’t sell a product because it is the line of energy/electricity/power in other words utility bills we already pay for. People pay there utility bill before they even pay their mortgage/rent. It is a NECESSITY.

It takes part in the deregulation of energy so that the monopoly utility companies can have competition. There are five active states right now: NY, NJ, PA, CT, and IL with TX coming soon. Nearly all states are to be deregulated by 2015. The company launched in January of this year. Warren Buffet invested nearly 1 billion into it in December 2011.

In order to rank advance you need to help your team members advance, so there is no stepping on people to get to the top. You can actually even surpass your own up-line if you are growing faster and helping your team. The second to top position only requires that you have 6 people you personally enrolled and 20 of your own customers for the most part. So it is quick to work your way up if you help your team.

Your doing the right thing – just keep at it and you will see results soon – I would advise you to concentrate on one method but this isnt the way to go as you will need a variety of sources for your backlink building strategy.
What I mean by this is that its important to use all the methods you mentioned and some more – if i was doing my seo work then for the offsite work I would be doing the following

article marketing
blog commenting
forum postings
rss feed sumissions
directory submissions
profile backlinking
web 2.0 account creations-such as hubpages -squidoo lenses
blog creations
Bookmarking
software submissions

just to name a few – please stay away from link farms and devalued directories – Also its not a good idea to do reciprocal linking.

When you create your backlinks use your keywords as the anchor text. Also you will need to make sure you have optimised your pages properly – so pay attention and use your keywords in your

title
meta description
meta keywords
heading tags
body text

Also make sure you have a sitemap and use latent symentic indexing. Its also advisable to make sure your internal linking structure is good

hope this helps

Just google networking marketing and start joining. Most will fall under internet marketing and they won’t let you post your site exept for a Signature box and that only after so many post.

You will get kick of many before you get the rhythm of how to do this.

If you’re submitting unique and relevant articles to article directories you’ll be just fine. I’d also suggest posting your orginal article to your site or blog first, then submit it to the article directories a few days later.

However, if you’re using article directories to push out huge amounts of content, then you may be in jeopordy of being penalized. Bottom line is anything you do to try and game search results will eventually be penalized.

Yes. It still works.

They changed to a new server to speed up the processes they use.

The new forum for Warrior Forums is…
===> http://www.warriorforum.com/

You will be required to setup a new account, and relink to all the topics you are interested in following. Be sure to check out their blog options that they have added. Their pretty sweet if you ask me.

Also, consider using the SEO & Beyond forum. It’s new, but with myself being the moderator, it is my intention to make it the best Internet Marketing forum available on the Interenet. It may indeed take some time for that to happen, but I’m willing to work toward that goal which will be more attainable as others chose to join.

Your best bet is to start a blog page so you can drive traffic to it. Always think traffic.

Once you start your blog post, write a post every day so you can start getting attention. Make sure your keywords are relevant to your content. This will help you in getting you to the top of the search engines. Also make sure you ping your blog every time you post.

You will also want to think about social bookmarks so you can get your posts on other social networking sites.

I have tutorials at no cost for the first three in the series. These are for beginners and will pretty much get you positioned to understand how to use the power of word press and have it act as your platform for a site.

Once you start getting your target market to your blog site, you will want to be sure to have an opt-in box so you can have your visitors sign up for a news letter or free guide. This will now give you a way to stay in contact with them through emails. Please do not spam your list once they sign up. That will not be a good thing.

You will now have two ways to let your prospects know about your great forum! You can let them on your blog post and you can remind them through emails.

Feel free to snoop around on my blog page and get some tips on how to conduct yourself and how to get traffic to your site in a more in depth manner. I also have some video tutorials posted at no cost.

Best of everything to you and good luck!

Jere answers:

I was unable to find a recent report of deaths associated with Lipitor. I have included a link to the London Times that was reported on 03/06/05 discussing deaths associated with lipid medications in general.

Http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1512613_1,00.html

There seems to be a lot of hysteria associated with lipid-lowering medications commonly referred to as ‘statins’ of which Lipitor or atorvastatin is one. The main complication associated with these medications is a degenerative muscle condition called rhabdomyolysis – though actual cases of this is extremely rare. The main reason people discontinue cholesterol medications is due to general muscle aches – despite no objective lab studies to indicate a problem. It is known that these cholesterol medications can affect the mitochodria (powerhouses of the cell) in some people. It is surmised that this effect is the source of muscle aches – though muscle aches are a common general complaint. Additionally there may be interactions with other medications at the level of the liver enzyme pathways.

So why do people are people prescribed these medications if there are risks? The answer is the overall significant reduction in mortality – especially noted in people who at risk for coronary artery disease, heart valvular disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. The risk reduction of dying from these diseases far outweighs the increase risk of taking the medications. I have attached a few abstracts of medical journals below that are pertinent to your question and my answer.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

There were 871 reports of statin-associated rhabdomyolysis in the 29-month time frame examined, representing 601 cases. The following number of cases were associated with each of the individual statins: simvastatin, 215 (35.8%); cerivastatin, 192 (31.9%); atorvastatin, 73 (12.2%); pravastatin, 71 (11.8%); lovastatin, 40 (6.7%); and fluvastatin, 10 (1.7%). Drugs that may have interacted with the statins were present in the following number of cases: mibefradil (n = 99), fibrates (n = 80), cyclosporine (n = 51), macrolide antibiotics (n = 42), warfarin (n = 33), digoxin (n = 26), and azole antifungals (n = 12). The reports of 62.1% of cases were classified as expedited. Statins were designated as the primary suspect in 72.0% of the cases. Death was listed as the outcome in 38 cases. The majority of reports (n = 556) were from health professionals.
Ann Pharmacother. 2002 Feb;36(2):288-95

Lowering of LDL-cholesterol by 25 to 30% with statins resulted in a highly significant reduction of coronary event rates in 2 large primary prevention trials. In the West of Scotland Primary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) hypercholesterolemic asymptomatic men were treated with either 40 mg of pravastatin or placebo, in the Airforce/Texas Coronary Atherosclerosis Prevention Study (AFCAPS/TexCAPS) 6605 men and women with average levels of LDL-cholesterol and low levels of HDL-cholesterol were treated with either 20 to 40 mg of lovastatin or placebo. Moreover, in the WOSCOP study a marked reduction of total mortality was observed which approached the level of statistical significance. Several groups of experts have recently developed guidelines for the use of statins in prevention of atherosclerotic vascular disease. There are major differences in the goals for lowering of LDL-cholesterol and in the levels at which initiation of lipid lowering by drugs is advocated. In most of these recommendations graded target levels for LDL-cholesterol are suggested which are guided by the level of global risk. According to the recommendations of the American National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) LDL-cholesterol should be lowered below 130 mg/dl in asymptomatic individuals at high absolute risk and below 160 in individuals with a moderate increase in risk. The Joint Task Force of European and other Societies on Coronary Prevention recently developed guidelines, which suggest that in primary prevention lipid lowering by drugs should be restricted to individuals whose 10 year CHD risk exceeds 20% or will exceed 20% if projected to age 60. In these individuals LDL-cholesterol levels should be lowered to less than 115 mg/dl. The International Task Force for Prevention of Coronary heart disease recently published recommendations which suggest, that LDL-cholesterol should be reduced below 100 mg/dl in asymptomatic individuals at very high coronary risk, while it should be lowered below 135 mg/dl in individuals at moderately increased risk and below 160 mg/dl in subjects with a small increase in risk. In conclusion, results of 2 landmark trials in primary prevention of coronary heart disease demonstrated that lowering of LDL-cholesterol by statins is one of the most effective strategies to reduce coronary risk. It should be applied most aggressively in subjects at the highest overall risk. Nevertheless, non-pharmacologic measures are still considered as the preferred strategy for the reduction of coronary risk in the setting of primary prevention.
Wien Med Wochenschr. 1999;149(5-6):129-38

A total of 289 (23.7%) patients in the atorvastatin group compared with 333 (27.7%) patients in the usual care group experienced a primary outcome (hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval 0.71 to 0.97, p = 0.02). This reduction in morbidity was largely due to fewer non-fatal myocardial infarctions (4.3% vs. 7.7%, p = 0.0002). Levels of LDL-C were reduced more (34.3% vs. 23.3%, p < 0.0001) and National Cholesterol Education Program goals (LDL-C <100 mg/dl) more likely met at end-of-study visits (72.4% vs. 40.0%) in patients receiving atorvastatin compared with those receiving usual care
An aggressive, focused statin therapy management strategy outperformed usual care in health maintenance organization and Veterans Administration clinic patients with Coronary Heart Disease.

No problem, Japan has been buying Chinese debt for months now…China’s economy is in shambles. They, the Chinese, use the yuan so that it will float to its actual worldwide value without having to directly devalue their currency.

This is a positive situation for the global currency exchange, IMF and World Bank.

China’s currency has been artificially supported at unrealistic levels for years.

In all states, the process is almost the same;
but NEVER EVER take the RE courses on line; here is why!

Students have questions and answer as they understand;
that is helpful for other students to hear and listen to reasons.

Fiduciary is an odd animal and
language in real estate is both simple and complicated.

By doing stuff on line, you get no guideance. That is horrible.

Real estate is both very static and very dynamic. IF you mess
up at the oddest time, you are liable for a fine. OR you can be
sued.

Do as much as you can in person

application

private RE school attendance

pass their test[s]

apply to state for license

get finger print card

take state contracted test

pay license fee

from start to finish, allow 1 mo but it can be done in 3 weeks

for me, I studied like a crazy man between the end of the
school test and the state test.

When I was ready for the broker’s test 3 yrs later,
I found a CD AFTER I passed the school’s test.

I took the CDs tests 16 times
then I took the state test and passed it

then you have to decide

do you want to be a listing agent
dual agent [dumb as a rock but still legal]
buyer’s agent

commercial agent
ag agent
cemetary agent
time share agent
biz broker

and do you want to join NAR [very expensive and useless]

luck to u

yes, I can guide you further if desired

land
cemetary plots
time shares
biz

Good for you for signing up for classes. A lot of people on Yahoo! Answers just want to know a magic way to ::pop:: suddenly become famous (not everyone, but still…). You recognize that it takes time and work (and you didn’t even ask how to become famous. Yeah!). The Cinderella stories are the popular ones because everyone wants it, but the majority of singers, performers, etc. Work long and hard before they have a secure job. And even then, show biz is not the most stable work. Be prepared.

Make the most out of the classes you signed up for. LISTEN to the teachers and your classmates. Constructive criticism is something that everybody asks for, but no one really wants to accept. At least that’s been my experience. Your teachers and peers aren’t out to tell you how horrible you are, they want to help you get better at what you love to do. Accept their thoughts for what they are worth and then decide what works best for you. Remember these are suggestions. In the end it’s your job to decide what you think is best.

Keep practicing. Get more lessons. Sing whenever you can. Join choirs, hire out for weddings (or even offer to sing for free), call up radio stations and ask if/when they will be recording those little jingles and send them your resume. You’ve got to get your name out into the community and start looking for jobs. Ask other area singers how they find jobs. I’m a theatre person and in my area there’s an emailing list you can join that sends out all auditions, tech jobs, etc. Networking is a wonderful thing. Keep track of the names and numbers of everyone you meet. You never know when they might be able to help you.

Audition, audition, audition. That’s all I can say. I don’t know much about the agent stuff, but I know how best to get the education and experience needed to then take the next step.

Good luck!

FYI: I went back to look at the other answers. Bwlobo’s answer is actually a list of things NOT to do. Seriously, it’s one of those email things, like: “You know you’re from Nebraska when…”. Don’t listen to a word, though you might try doing the opposite of them. ^_^
