~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Internet Tip Of The Week ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem Solving
Have you ever run into a problem with your computer that brought up an error message? You're really lucky if you've never had to deal with that. Well, when it happens, wouldn't it be nice if you could just capture that error message and send it to someone else so they could help you figure out what's wrong? Well, there's a way.
Find the Print Screen and Alt buttons on your keyboard and you'll be all set. The PrtScr button is located on the right hand side of your keyboard right next to the Scroll Lock key. (It's also right beside the F12 key on most keyboards). If you hit the Alt and PrtScr keys at the same time, your computer will take a "snapshot" of the active window (which would be the error message). Now, if you want to get a shot of the whole screen, push the Shift key along with the PrtScr key and you'll have it.
Once you have that image captured, you can go and paste it in another program and then send it to your "computer expert" for advice. You can put it in MS Word, Notepad, Wordpad or even an e-mail. It's up to you. Once you have the program you want to put it in open, paste the screenshot. Along with the image, you can type out a description of what you were doing when the problem occurred. That will especially help if you're sending it to someone else to look at. With both the screenshot and the description, they should be able to lead you in the right direction to get things fixed. Having all of that information documented helps if you have to call on some professional tech support.

Are DVD Information Products Profitable?
Robert Gneissman
It's common knowledge that information products have high margins. Information in all forms (books, ebooks, CDs, DVDs, online videos, etc) commonly sells for multiples of 10, 50, 100 times the unit cost of manufacturing the product. It's no wonder there are so many information marketers. Those healthy margins tend to attract a crowd.
There are many mediums from which to choose for information products but DVDs might be the best way to go. Don't listen to the misguided fools who'll try to tell how difficult is to make a DVD, how you'll have to buy expensive software, and how you'll have to deal if inventory & shipping nightmares because none of that is true. The reality is those people are too lazy to look around and see how simple it is to create a DVD information product.
The fact is that DVDs are very simple to make and don't require investing in expensive software. In fact, I create DVDs without spending a nickel. Yes it does require a few software programs but the ones I use are freely available on the Internet and they work incredibly well. In fact, the software I use to convert avi files to DVD files comes with an incredible support forum that answered my questions within 24 hours. That's better service than a lot of products I've actually paid for.
Shipping & manufacturing are easily outsourced saving you much hassle. Kunaki offers a great service that will create and ship your DVDs as they receive orders. At $1.75 per DVD (including cover) plus a nominal $3 handling fee on each order, Kunaki's rates a very competitive. Kunaki also ships internationally to almost every country as well as to any US address. Expedited shipping is available for customers who want to get their product overnight. Simply use Kunaki's proprietary software to upload your product to their facility and you're ready to go. It's very quick and easy.
There are lots of great reason for information businesses to love DVDs. Consider the higher perceived value of DVDs when pitted against books or ebooks. How much does a book cost? For $20 or less anybody can go to their local bookstore and pickup a book on just about any topic imaginable. You're nuts if you think your book will sell for much more than that. It's not unusual for DVD information products to sell for more than $100...and Kunaki only charges about $2 to manufacture your DVD. The profit margins on information products can be gargantuan. And since Kunaki allows you to self-publish your DVD, you keep 100% of the profits for yourself.
The service I use also provides the option of putting a UPC code on the product. This may not seem like such a big deal but this makes it incredibly easy to sell your DVD on Amazon. Talk about instant credibility. While most information marketers are schlepping their DVDs on homemade websites, yours is available on Amazon so it must be better.
There's no requirement that your DVD be a video product either. Data DVDs containing software programs as well as many other types of data and information are both popular and profitable. And we haven't even gotten started yet. One article can do justice to all the fabulous reasons for creating your own DVD info product.
FREE <a href="http://www.createdvdproduct.com">dvd software</a> give you the power to quickly & easily create your own DVDs without spending a nickel...100% Guaranteed!

ASK THE ADMISTRESS - CLUES 4 SUCCESS Text - Plain & Simple Copyright © AdMistress 2008
============
Many marketers use plain text for creating their newsletters and email promotions. But different email programs will display these mailings... differently.
Email programs will break a line of text after a specific number of characters. This could ma ke your text appe ar something a little like this paragraph!
So a good rule of thumb is to keep your lines at 60 or 65 characters (including spaces). Do this by pressing the Enter key after the 60th (or 65th) character. This is called inserting a hard return.
Bear in mind that you can't 'justify' (align) plain text. You can use the space bar to indent paragraphs or headings - up to about five spaces is 'safe', any more spaces might make your text split into two lines. Do not use the Tab key.
Furthermore, you cannot format plain text ie no bold, italics or underlining. But... when you want to emphasize certain words, you will need to use CAPITAL LETTERS or *asterisks* or you can get creative and find >>> other <<< ways to call attention to specific words.
Symbols and special characters may not show up as you intend them to, so always check before you send a mailing to your readers. Try to use only standard ASCII characters as these will display correctly in all email programs.
You should always send a copy of your mailing to yourself first, and (if possible) view it in different email programs. This won't guarantee that your readers will all receive a perfect version of your mailing, but it will give you a better chance of seeing what most of your readers will see.
=====================================
Clue # 366 - Even a simple email needs care and attention. If you want someone to spend time reading what you've sent to them... put in some effort!

Web Log Analysis
By Sharon Housley
Everyone who understands Internet Marketing will tell you to analyze your web logs... but what does that really mean? What particular things should you pay attention to when analyzing your web logs?
Errors - Page Not Found
How many visitors to your site experience an incorrect or invalid URL? Perhaps you have links on your website to a page that no longer exists. Reviewing the number of "page not found" listings in your web logs will help discern if you have any pages that are not accessible to your visitors. If that is the case, you can then either replace the missing page, or implement a system to automatically redirect the visitor to an appropriate alternate page.
Top Referrers
Where is your traffic coming from? Reviewing the sources of web traffic allows you to assess what advertising campaigns have resulted in increased web traffic.
Top Exit Pages
Where are you losing your traffic? Are there specific pages on the website that bleed traffic? This means that, for whatever reason, website visitors choose to leave your website after viewing a specific page. Evaluating which pages lead visitors to leave your site might mean that the content you are providing is not what the visitor expected. Perhaps small changes can be made to specific webpages to capture traffic and retain the website visitor's interest.
Top Incoming Pages
What pages are bringing visitors into your website? Perhaps you have a webpage buried deep within your site that unexpectedly generates a significant amount of traffic. Perhaps you have an obscure page in your site that contains odd or unusual phrases that perform surprisingly well in the search engines. Can the results be reproduced by using a related phrase on a similar webpage?
Top Search Words & Phrases
What keywords and phrases are customers using to find your website? The keywords that do not appear prevalent in the web logs can be just as important. Are there specific phrases you are attempting to optimize for, but are not generating the desired traffic? Perhaps renewed effort needs to be applied to website optimization.
Unique Visitors
How many unique visitors does your website receive? Is the trend increasing or decreasing? The number of unique visitors (note: not the number of hits) can be a good indicator of a website's popularity, and any trends that might relate to that popularity.
Average Time Spent And Page Views
How much time is spent on the website? How much time is spent on a specific webpage? Webmasters will often attract traffic by using catchy titles, but then the actual page content fails to deliver, and the website visitor ends up simply clicking away. Take a close look at the length of time your website visitors spend across a website and on specific pages. Consider what tweaks can be made to better harness and retain that web traffic.
Browsers
Evaluating the various web browsers being used by your website visitors can tell you two things - what browsers you should be testing your website in, AND, what Operating System your customers have. Are you getting a lot of Mac traffic but only offer a windows product? Maybe you can partner with a competing Mac product and capture some of that market.
Country of Origin
The country of origin might be helpful if you are considering localization. It can also be helpful if you see a lot of PPC (Pay Per Click) traffic coming from a country that does not generate a lot sales. This means you are paying for traffic which is NOT resulting in sales.
Log analysis is an ongoing process. Pay particular attention to trends and traffic patterns. Understanding web logs will give you an insight into what is working and what is not working. The numbers seldom lie -- statistics gleaned from web logs can give a true picture of how a website is performing. By critically analyzing the numbers, webmasters can effectively optimize their website to better capture and hold on to web traffic.
While the information contained in web logs is very helpful in discern what designs are working, and what path users take in your website, keep in mind that the MOST important information to evaluate is the traffic that results in sales. Work with your order processing company to determine what keywords and advertisements lead to sales. The goal of any advertising campaign is not to just bring web traffic, but to bring web traffic that ultimately decides to buy your product or service.

Foistware
When you buy software, more often than now, it will also come with demo or trial version of one or more other programs. They are simply a type of advertisement for these other programs, but they are not actually purchased by you.
Sometimes, the demos automatically install themselves onto your computer, followed by the installation of the program that you did buy (this is called foistware). Another commonality on some software is a list of the other programs on the installation interface.
These types of demos can often cause confusion if you accidentally run one of the trial programs and think, "Hey, I paid full price for this software, what's with the 15 day trial"?
If you happen to run into this probe lm, just start over and make sure you run the installation of the program you paid for. If you keep a close eye on what your computer is installing, you will be able to get the right thing downloaded and the full version of the program should work just fine.
If you get caught in the demo trap, don't worry. It happens to the best of us. You can just go back and start again to get where you really want to be!

~~~~~~~~~ Article ~~~~~~~~~
The Ability to Respectfully Disagree
By Michael Angier
A critical key to success in your career and in your life overall is developing and maintaining good relationships. In fact, "Relationships" is number five of the Ten Pillars of a World Class Business.
Our relationships with coworkers, suppliers, spouses, clients, bosses, siblings, employees, competitors and parents affect everything we do. Our success is highly dependent upon these relationships.
And it's not enough to be likable. Being agreeable and good natured are admirable traits. But in order to effect real change--in order to be a leader--one must often go against the norm. To make a difference, we often have to disagree with people and take different positions. Just going along with everyone will not work.
People are often surprised at how diverse my friends and business associates are. I have good relationships with people who are liberal and conservative, religious and secular. I seem to be able to get along with people from different cultures, with dissimilar philosophies and even divergent values.
I credit this to usually being tolerant and respectful. I like people and I learn something from almost everyone. I don't need to be right--even though I like to be. I also don't believe there is only one way, one path, one right answer.
The trick is to be able to disagree without being disagreeable. We want to respect others and have others respect us.
I think it starts with respecting others enough to listen to their points of view--and to do this regardless of whether or not we agree with them. The more you understand, the more you validate their viewpoint, the more likely it is they'll respond in kind, and you'll have a better relationship.
There's real truth in the old adage, "people don't care how much you know until they know how much we care." And I love Stephen Covey's profound maxim, "seek first to understand."
We all know that a response to someone's viewpoint like, "That's stupid!" is near the worst end of the spectrum. Here are a few on the other side. Be aware: they require you to be sincere and won't work unless you are.
"That's an interesting viewpoint. You must have a good reason for thinking that way. Do you mind telling me what it is?"
"I think I understand what you're saying, and could you tell me more about how you arrived at your opinion?"
"That's interesting. And I see it somewhat differently. May I explain?"
"I see what you're saying. I have another way of looking at it . . ."
There are many more. The point is to respond with respect, courtesy and honesty.
Action Point Commit to improving your ability to talk about controversial things in a responsible, respectful and tolerant fashion. You'll get better with practice, but you won't practice and experiment unless you're committed to doing it well.
Then do it. Respond, don't react. Be considerate without being abrasive. Speak your truth with compassion.
After discussions, think about how you might have responded better--how you could have listened better, demonstrated more respect and been more tolerant. Don't make yourself wrong for it; just notice what you do, then resolve to do it better next time.

============
Within the last year Google, Yahoo!, and MSN have all begun returning "blended" results for some percentage of the searches that people conduct, where a combination of one or more specialized search result types, like news, images, and videos, appear along with traditional web pages on the search results page.
Before Google launched what it initially called "Universal Search" in May 2007, this type of specialized content was only returned as a result of a specifically targeted "vertical" search.
Blended, or universal, search provides several new opportunities to get yourself listed in the search engines.
Search engine marketing firm iProspect has just published the iProspect Blended Search Results Study.
The study was conducted by JupiterResearch and amongst its key findings, the study shows that:
- 36% of search engines user click "news" results within blended search results, while only 17% click a "news" result after conducting a news-specific search
- 31% of search engine users click "image" results within blended search results, while 26% click an "image" result after conducting an image-specific search
- 17% of search engine users click "video" results within blended search results, while only 10% click a "video" result after conducting a video-specific search
While images are the most clicked type of result after a vertical-specific search, news items are the most clicked type of result within blended search results.
Consider the content of your website. What other forms of searchable content could you provide?
News items? Images? Videos? PDF files? Music clips?
Then focus on optimizing all your content, not just the text.
=====================================
Clue # 367 - Capitalize on the benefits provided by blended search. This is a great opportunity to claim more search page space!

~~~~~~~~~ Article ~~~~~~~~~ Three Killer And Profitable Traffic Sources
It seems these days that everybody is looking for the best way to drive traffic to their website. From paid sources, social networks, forums, blogs and other sites there are a myriad of ways to accomplish this task, but what techniques really work when it comes to making sales? In this article I am going to look at some of the better sources of converting traffic currently available on the net.
Paying For Traffic
Pay Per Click (PPC) is a huge business... In fact some of the largest players on the net today have gotten into selling PPC traffic. Unfortunately traffic tends to be an industry that has a lot of scams and fly by night companies selling fake clicks and traffic so be on the lookout. To really excel in the pay per click advertising arena you are going to need to create large keywords lists related to your target market and start with a small budget and cheaper traffic when starting up a new advertising campaign. You can also shop around to smaller providers if you are working in highly competitive markets.
Web 2.0 And The Social Scene
Social networks and bookmarking sites are all the rage these days due to the massive amounts of traffic that can be achieved especially when directing to content sites like blogs. Unfortunately most of this traffic can be very short lived and you absolutely must track the profitability of this type of traffic from each social bookmarking site used otherwise you can end up spending a lot of time achieving lots of traffic that does not convert into sales.
The Power Of Article Marketing
Article marketing is an awesome strategy for pulling in highly qualified traffic for a couple of reasons. First you are delivering an article right to your target market that shares an interest or passion in the topic of the article. Secondly the resource box or about the author byline generally will allow you to link back to your sites and this helps with initial direct traffic from people reading your article but also has the added benefit of increasing search engine ranking.
Above all it is very important to keep in mind that no matter what traffic generation techniques you are using you should always be carefully tracking each of your traffic sources to make sure that it is profitable otherwise you can end up feeding an alligator which delivers low quality traffic that won't convert. With the availability of software tools on the market today like Google analytics this task is incredibly easy to do.
Jim Sansi brings in tons of super frickin targeted traffic using the methods from the <a href="http://www.articlesintotraffic.com">article marketing course.</a>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Internet Tip Of The Week ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do you choose a good password?
Most people use passwords that are based on personal information and are easy to remember. However, that also makes it easier for an attacker to guess or "crack" them. Consider a four-digit PIN number. Is yours a combination of the month, day, or year of your birthday? Or the last four digits of your social security number? Or your address or phone number? Think about how easily it is to find this information out about somebody. What about your email password—is it a word that can be found in the dictionary? If so, it may be susceptible to "dictionary" attacks, which attempt to guess passwords based on words in the dictionary.
Although intentionally misspelling a word ("daytt" instead of "date") may offer some protection against dictionary attacks, an even better method is to rely on a series of words and use memory techniques, or mnemonics, to help you remember how to decode it. For example, instead of the password "hoops," use "IlTpbb" for "[I] [l]ike [T]o [p]lay [b]asket[b]all." Using both lowercase and capital letters adds another layer of obscurity. Your best defense, though, is to use a combination of numbers, special characters, and both lowercase and capital letters. Change the same example we used above to "Il!2pBb." and see how much more complicated it has become just by adding numbers and special characters.
Don't assume that now that you've developed a strong password you should use it for every system or program you log into. If an attacker does guess it, he would have access to all of your accounts. You should use these techniques to develop unique passwords for each of your accounts.
Here is a review of tactics to use when choosing a password:
Don't use passwords that are based on personal information that can be easily accessed or guessed Don't use words that can be found in any dictionary of any language Develop a mnemonic for remembering complex passwords Use both lowercase and capital letters Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters Use different passwords on different systems

Strengthen Your Blog In a Single S.W.O.T.
Is there anything that could be improved on the blog your run? Do you even know if there is something that needs to be improved? Try taking the MBA stance by performing a S.W.O.T on the blog to get to what really needs adjustment? Now what the heck is S.W.O.T you say? All it is, is an acronym for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Just about every Fortune 500 company you can think of performs this self check to see where they stand so why shouldn't you?
Get started by taking a look and jotting down your strengths. Are you proficient in online marketing? Are you producing high quality products? You may find that you undervalue your business. Performing this piece of the analysis should give you a mental boost when it comes to progress you have made in the time your business has been up and running.
The next piece may be a little painful at first however, it will help you strengthen your weakest links. Where are your weaknesses? Are you posting infrequently? Are you producing enough products? Is your article writing campaign building back links? Each weakness recorded is also a chance to enhance your current business plan so be certain to be as thorough as possible.
Now that your weaknesses are recorded it is time to turn them into opportunities in the next portion of your S.W.O.T. analysis. You will want to review your weaknesses as well as any other opportunities that come to mind. Is it possible to expand your product line? Is it an option to offer some services in addition to the products offered? Can you expand your target market to build additional profits? Are you relying on pay per click to draw in visitors? Can you implement more permanent forms of marketing? Continue to ask yourself questions and answer them as intricately as possible to get the best possible rewards.
The grand finale is analyzing the potential threats that could wipe out your business or decrease its overall value. Are there similar blogs to your own? Could the products on these blogs cut into you profits? Have you created such a narrow marketing scope that your customers are a small few? Are you losing money on pay per click campaigns? The more threats identified the easier it will be to contingency plan and bullet proof your business. Take these observations as an opportunity to differentiate and break away from the pack. Every few months rinse and repeat this cycle to stay on top of your business.
