Article Description:
Metrics are an important part of any online branding and
advertising strategy. A metric is a unit of information used
to gauge or measure the statistics that are coming in. Views
per week is a metric, as is growth in views from week to
week. The number of subscribers to a site might be important
to one user, but less important than reciprocal linking
rates to another. Given the sheer number of metrics out
there, it comes as no surprise that many tools for gathering
and evaluating the raw data that feeds into such metrics
have been developed. Here are a few.

Building Brand Identity - Monitoring the Numbers
Copyright (c) 2010 Enzo F. Cesario

Metrics are an important part of any online branding and
advertising strategy. Suppose a site gets an average of 1,400
views per week. What does that mean? For a small blog that
updates once or twice per week, with an average ad revenue of,
say, a half cent per view, this might seem all right. For a major
news outlet like Fox or MSNBC, it would be disastrous. The raw
numbers aren't as important as the context the reviewer places
them in; such is the nature of the metric.

A metric is a unit of information used to gauge or measure the
statistics that are coming in. Views per week is a metric, as is
growth in views from week to week. The number of subscribers to a
site might be important to one user, but less important than
reciprocal linking rates to another.

The choice of metric often is defined by the nature of the site
being used, as noted above. Ad revenue sites often base their
metrics on the number of clickthroughs on advertisements they
host, while non-profit channels might prefer raw numbers of
subscribers. Given the sheer number of metrics out there, it
comes as no surprise that many tools for gathering and evaluating
the raw data that feeds into such metrics have been developed.

Hootsuite

For brands that intend to function on all levels of the social
networking zeitgeist, Hootsuite is the go-to tool. It ties into
nearly every element of the social networking arena, working with
Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, WordPress and more.
Hootsuite presents itself as a dashboard from which a user can
control all aspects of his multimedia networking "empire,"
streamlining the process to a central point instead of many
diverse elements needing tending.

In particular, the metric benefit of Hootsuite comes from its
Monitor Mentions function. Specifically, this feature looks up
the number of times a user or his account has been mentioned on a
selected social media site. As a one-click solution that can be
tailored to lists or to keywords, this is an incredibly powerful
tool. Put in the required information, and a user has access to
most, if not all, of the buzz that his site or account has begun
generating over the last few days.

This also allows the user to judge the effect of a particular
campaign. Follow the Hoot mentions after starting up a campaign,
and you can probably figure out whether people are taking the
effort well, poorly or even if they're noticing it at all.

Tweetdeck

Another dashboard management system, Tweetdeck is focused on
helping Twitterers with high-volume accounts manage the
information stream that comes in through their feed.

Twitter is an odd entry into the social media world, one that has
grown faster than any other. Originally intended to be a simple
status update system, it has developed much further than this.
Many brands use it as a means of constantly updating their
followers with microblogging-style reports and advertisements, as
well as to keep track of what those followers are talking about.

Tweetdeck's primary means of organizing this is that it can
quickly split replies, re-tweets and original posts into separate
feeds to be sorted through. To be sure, being able to follow a
re-tweet series stemming from an advertising or announcement
tweet is a vital step in ascertaining just what people's
reaction to the originating tweet was. With large volumes of
followers, this can involve an almost maniac amount of time at
the screen - time that could be better spent elsewhere. Tweetdeck
helps condense the time into more efficient units.

It also can drill down even more specifically. Perhaps a brand
centered around a popular series of cookbooks wants to focus
specifically on its wine-appreciating followers rather than the
community as a whole. Tweetdeck can create a column of all the
people who have been flagged as wine lovers, and exclude the rest
of the community. In short, it allows for precision views in
order to mine for information specific to the need at hand.

These are only two of the tools available to social media users.
They offer specific and tangible benefits to their target
audience, and being familiar with both is a good way to refine
and focus any data that's being gathered for metric uses. There
are other tools out there, including Tweetdeck's alternative,
Twhirl. Other sites offer "social media tools" that are more
specific to Facebook or WordPress. The specific tool isn't as
important as the method in which it's being used.

Twitter feed mentions are important. Being able to measure and
dissect the number of retweets or keyword comments relating to a
brand's new post, is a valuable tool in attempting to
demonstrate the reputation a brand has built for itself through
its overall efforts. However, sometimes this information can lead
to pure number-chasing.

Above all else, keep the focus on the brand and what it has to
offer, rather than abstracted numerical goals. These metrics
should evaluate whether a brand is reaching its intended audience
effectively - they must never become a goal in and of themselves.
Make sure that the brand can stand on its own merits, and that
the use of these tools is a means of pursuing just that goal.

Retire From Your Job With This Internet Business Training Program
Copyright (c) 2010 Ryan Parenti
Build Online Wealth
http://buildonlinewealth.com/crazyfreeoffer



The possibilities with information marketing are limitless -
it's up to you whether you want a five, six or even seven figure
income. Whichever appeals to you most - it is ALL more than
possible with information publishing.

Here is the best plan for information publishing and how to
quickly increase profits with internet marketing.

The most important thing to have is a clear vision and a
strategic business plan to follow. You need to know where your
going and have a solid business plan and strategy to get there.

Here are the steps to that highly profitable businesses take to
increase their profit.

1. First off, you need to figure out yourself before you grow a
business

You need to know yourself and exactly what your good at. This is
important because if you are not good a HTML for example then you
do not want to build and grow your business by doing HTML.

Clearly define, understand, and build a business around your
strengths.

2. You need to find the big money opportunity (the market)

The market will show you where the big money opportunities are.
Look at the market to find out what to sell.

Simply determine what the market wants to buy then go out and
give it to them.

Start to develop a clear vision of the biggest opportunity in
your target market then develop an action plan to take advantage
of it.

3. You need a compelling offer

Your offer (what your trying to sell) must be of high value and
provide a high return on investment. It almost must be positioned
in a way that compels people to take action and purchase your
offer.

Start by creating an irresistible offer that provides a solid
benefit in a believable fashion.

4. Develop a marketing system

Marketing your product or service is the way you get the word
out. Advertisement, SEO and email marketing are all effective
ways to find and keep new prospects.

Discover which avenue of marketing you will take then execute it
masterfully.

5. Build YOUR business with help

Discover what actions make you money then train and employ others
to complete these actions on a daily or weekly basis (if
possible).

You need to scale your business by determining profitable actions
then turning them into automated systems of duplicate-able and
unmanaged creation through the help of smart, dedicated and
qualified employees.

As a very important side note make sure your team members carry
the same vision of business that you have. You are paying for
their mind and creative thinking not brute work.

So make sure that they understand where you want to go so they
can help you get there.

When many people think of hiring help then they of getting the
cheapest labor. The truth is you need to find keep and hire the
right people.

Good people are very hard to find and you need these people if
you want to have a successful business.

6. Everything should be reduced down to a number

You can and should measure every aspect of your business so you
can determine what is working and what isn't. Track sales
conversions, employee performance, how your doing and success
towards your goals.

You can't improve anything you can't measure.

So track everything you can so you can make incremental
improvements to your operational systems like marketing, sales
conversation and lifetime customer value (how much you make per
average customer).

7. Alliance partners increase growth rapidly

The easiest way to grow your business is by leveraging other
people's resources. You can do this by developing relationships
with other related businesses.

Start by creating an affiliate program. This can easily increase
your income times 10.

It is also well advised to structure your business to allow other
people to sell and grow your business with you through developing
joint venture relationships.

8. Develop product creation systems

Set up a team of people to create your products. Perhaps you
might need one person to do the market research to see what
people are buying and to do keyword research.

Once completed they can then hand over the information to a
person who creates graphics and a sales page. Then they can
forward the information to a ghost writer who completes the
product.

This can all happen seamlessly once you develop the system.

Identify which types of products you will create then develop a
team (or a system) to create and market you product for you.

The Best Plan For Online Business Profits That Money Can Buy

Build a business that your completely free from. How?

Develop systems within the business that make sure profitable
steps are taken without you having to do them. Your goal is that
the business will build without you so you can get free of the
business.

Day to day operational issues need to be delegated.

Just go out and start taking action on these steps today and see
your income increase exponentially. But remember...

Avoid getting distracted by the latest fads. Just go and build a
profitable business by following these solid fundamentals.

Blog Writing - Beginner Blogging Mistakes
Copyright (c) 2010 Enzo F. Cesario
BrandSplat
http://www.Brandsplat.com/



Blogging is not complicated, but it is hard. It's the same
theory as lifting up a car - the action is a simple one, but it
requires a great deal of effort to pull off. At the root of it,
blogging is as simple as can be. The blogger logs in, writes a
piece of appropriate length touching on a relevant topic, then
posts and all is done. However, it is painfully clear that most
blogs don't survive the inception phase, and even those that do
manage a few opening posts don't tend to last more than a few
days or weeks.

There are a number of mistakes that beginning bloggers make,
blunders that compromise their blogs and kill their chances of
developing an interested audience. On the other hand, there is
far too much criticism and far too little specific advice on the
web. With that in mind, here are some of the common opening
mistakes new bloggers make, followed by specific steps that can
be taken to avoid them.

Blunder #1 - The Text Wall

Rooted in the dialup age and the period where text was the only
truly efficient medium of communication online, this kind of post
is increasingly inappropriate for the online environment.
Broadband is widely available, having become the norm in many
places rather than the high-priced exception. Cable connections,
DSL and fiber optic specialized systems are all available for
reasonably affordable prices, so more multimedia content can be
included in every kind of post, and this most definitely includes
blog posts.

Avoiding the Trap: It isn't hard to find images or videos
related to a blog topic. Search engines include video and image
functionality in their search terms as a matter of course, and
YouTube is full of material that can be accessed readily. For
smaller posts, a single link or video will probably do the trick,
but for a more involved entry, one image per paragraph is
certainly appropriate. Don't include more than one video unless
the post is specifically about a particularly engaging video
series, however.

Blunder #2 - The Deaf Ear

The audience defines the success of a company. If people aren't
buying, the product is a failure. If people aren't visiting, the
museum is a failure. If people aren't reading, the blog is a
failure. This is an inviolate, absolute principle of all
marketing, and yet there are many blogs that shut off user
commentary or fail to interact with the audience as a matter of
course. Censorship is ineffectual in any case, and
self-censorship is an exercise in absolute stupidity. The blog
that fails to take advantage of the opportunities offered by an
active and positive comments section will not succeed as much as
one that embraces the community mindset.

Avoiding the Trap: Cultivate commentary by rewarding thoughtful
contributors. For example, if a visitor posts in a particularly
eloquent and informed fashion, invite them to make a guest post
on the blog and expand upon their ideas. Consider making the
guest slot a regular feature of the blog. In a stroke, this will
reduce the overall workload on the blog's primary writer and
show the more informed readers that their words are reaching the
authority behind the blog. This also helps quell any din raised
by agitators and malcontents.

Blunder #3 - The Rote Post

Regular content is the key to a successful blog; this can't be
disputed. However, it also can't be disputed that some writers
simply hit a slump and can't go on producing without cessation.
Sometimes the inspiration simply isn't there. A blog oriented
toward news-style stories covering a specific industry might
suffer when the industry simply isn't providing any new stories,
for example. Forcing a post at times like this will be a bad idea
almost universally, because people can tell when writing is
forced or uninspired.

Avoiding the Trap: This is another area where the video function
can come in handy. If a topic just isn't presenting itself well,
a blogger can look up a video series on the topic of their choice
and post it. It's often easier to post a video and add some
commentary on the issues discussed than it is to come up with an
article whole cloth.

Blunder #4 - Missing the Point

This issue ties right back in with the idea of audience feedback
and participation in a blog, as well as finding alternative
methods to rote updating. Consider the idea above, where a writer
strapped for ideas posts a YouTube video related to the blog's
mission and makes a post commenting on it rather than devising an
entire post of his or her own. Suppose this video comment is one
of the most popular posts by traffic and commentary compared to
any others, even though it took the least work. Why would a
writer not take advantage of this? Sadly, this is exactly the
case, and many bloggers miss the opportunity to pick up a new
idea.

Avoiding the Trap: If a crazy or half-baked idea somehow becomes
more popular than the default or normal pattern, consider making
it a series and running with it. This is why observing metrics
such as traffic and the user comments section is such an
important skill to develop. The net is alive, vital and adapting.
Keep a finger on the pulse of it, and be prepared to react to
sudden inspirational shifts.

Work From Home With Internet Marketing For Online Businesses
Copyright (c) 2010 Ryan Parenti
Build Online Wealth
http://buildonlinewealth.com/crazyfreeoffer



Picture waking up tomorrow, not to some amazingly annoying alarm
clock... but to peace and quiet.

After you complete your morning routine of grabbing a little
breakfast, and maybe some coffee, you stroll the 20 something
feet on over to your home office.

And you smile wide as you notice hundreds of dollars in sales
from the night before -- all of them coming in while you were
asleep!

Effortlessly and automatically! Think this is some kind of wild
fantasy? NO -- it could soon be your reality!

Internet marketing for online businesses is easy if you have the
correct internet marketing strategies.

But first a word of warning. Most people who consider themselves
internet marketers are simply lacking any real business vision.

They hop around from the latest fad and hype without a real plan
of how to really accomplish anything. So they buy everything that
comes with a big promise.

This is cause by opportunistic thinking and it lacks real
business strategy.

If you are thinking strategically you have an end vision in mind.
You must know where you are going instead of simply grabbing
unreal opportunities as they arise.

Many people make the mistake of thinking they need to learn more.
In truth you need to determine which activities will make you
money then create and implement a tightly focused business
strategy that creates leverage.

Here are some quick things to remember when creating a plan to
work from home.

The two most important things to measure are cost per customer
acquisition and the lifetime customer value.

You need to measure, test, and improve your results and
systematize your home business.

Then once you have implemented systematization in your business
you can develop systems that automatically scale and duplicate
your systems for you.

But to do this you need to have a solid system of customer
acquisition, ways to increase lifetime value of the customer, and
project management skills for delegating tasks effectively.

Here are three key elements of a solid strategy to make cash
online.

1. Take steps to find new customers

2. Develop processes that increase the amount you make per
customer

3. Scale and improve everything through testing and outsourcing.

The Real Goal Of Internet Marketing For Online Businesses
Prospect And How To Get Customers

Every business needs customers. So developing ways to get
customers is necessary. Here are some of the many ways.

Articles - You can write articles to find new customers and brand
yourself as the expert. This is an effective way to improve SEO
(Search engine optimization) and get new exposure for your
business.

Press Releases - Release news stories such as a new product being
available or a new website to press sources. If you have a good
story with the release you can be syndicated by many press
sources and get wide spread exposure.

SEO - Natural organic traffic from search engines is free and
easy money. Create a blog or static HTML site that provides value
in the form of SEO?d articles.

PPC (Pay Per Click) - Buying traffic from search engines like
Google, Yahoo, and others is an effective way to increase
exposure. If you make more money than you spend you can easily
scale this up for tremendous results.

Banner Ads - Banner ads are usually available for sale on related
websites. You can look for an advertise "here link" and get
your ads placed on these sites.

You need to know how much it costs to get each customer when
buying customers with the above methods.

This is one of the most important stats you can know. So through
all of these activities you need to track the results so you can
understand and improve your cost per customer acquisition.

Making money online becomes much easier when you now how much you
spend per customer.

Then when you know how much you spend per customer you need to
know how much you make per customer on average. This is also
known as the lifetime customer value.

For example a typical customer could buy 5 times at an average
rate of once every other month for a total of $500. Your average
customer value would then be $500.

So you could give away one hundred percent commissions to
affiliate on a front product because you know in the end you will
make your money back plus some.

Develop Processes That Increase Lifetime Customer Value

Sell more products!

If you only have one product the easiest way to increase profits
would be to sell another.

The truth is it is much easier to turn a customer into a steady
paycheck than to try to get a new customer.

If you want to really increase lifetime customer value you need
to provide extremely high quality products as well as generate a
hyper responsive connection with your customer base through
goodwill.

Help your customers and they will love you. Generally provide
value and results in advance.

Make Process Maps For The Things That Work

Creating processes such as how to find a new hot sub niche and
creating a product that people want can have an astounding effect
on your earnings.

It sounds simple but there are many steps to a profitable task
then it simplifies it.

In the above example there are several things you must do before
you hit payday. First you need to do market research. Then you
need to find keywords.

Then you need to create the book. Then you need to create sales
copy and graphics.

To all of this you should create a process map that clearly
defines every step so that you can bring on an outsource staff.

What I am telling you to do is find a process that makes you
money then develop a system through outsourcing where that
process gets done automatically. Once it is set up you will cash
in for life.

Your goal is to clearly define a proper business strategy of
getting customers and increasing how much you make per customer.

Then systematize it through outsourcing so the process is
repeated often and automatically.

To do this you will need to develop project management skills
because most entrepreneurs become project managers as they define
tasks that make them more money than they costs and start to
scale them by hiring employees.

Hey, wrap your mind around this.

Do you think Donald Trump is running his business or do you think
he employs people to run it for him? He has identified what makes
him money and he has systems set up to do this automatically.

This is what you must do on the internet and in offline
marketing. Because business is business.

Now you have a solid vision and end goal in mind.

So avoid the hype and learn solid business fundamentals and you
will dramatically reduce your failure rate.

Get Paid Like An Expert By Developing A USP (Unique Selling Proposition)
Copyright (c) 2010 Ryan Parenti
Build Online Wealth
http://buildonlinewealth.com/crazyfreeoffer



Want to get paid more for doing the same amount of work? Simply
develop a USP to get paid like an expert. Here is how you make
more money now...

Developing a USP (unique selling proposition) is your unique way
of positioning yourself. Your unique selling position is vital if
you want to be paid well. Get paid well here.

It is essential to position yourself in a unique way because you
will always have competition. Even if you have no competition you
are still competing with a your prospects saying "no" to your
offer.

Most people know that they need to position themselves in a
unique way but rarely do you learn how to do this. Here is a way
to set your self above the crowd and get paid like an expert.

You need to map out the desires of your target market. This has
nothing to do with you and everything to do with your market.

What do they want? How do they want to get it? In what ways do
they think they should get it? Who are the people who make up
your target market anyways?

Firstly you want to look at the people who you want to sell to.
The typical person in the market. Who are the types of people
that make up your market?

Start mapping out the these types of answers and group them in
categories. For example the people could be sales people,
executives, human resources people, ect.

So you want to put them all in one group in a visual way on
perhaps a simple piece of paper.

After you know who your market is then you want to figure out
what they want or the role they are playing.

For example do they want rapid business growth or to know more
about business planning? Or both? Put everything they want on a
piece of paper as well.

Then you want to start determine how they are going to measure
their goals. You want to look at what their goals, end results,
and objectives are.

As an example, are they going to measure success by customer
growth, ROI, and/or achieving performance goals?

After that you have a list of who they are, what they want, and
how they will measure how to get there.

The next step is to define the general strategies they will use
and the challenges they will face.

You want to know how they plan on getting from where they are to
where they want to be as well as the roadblocks they will face
along the way.

Learn what they are measuring as well as how they are being
measured. You also want to know what their strategies are as well
as the challenges they have.

Perhaps some techniques they will use are things like marketing,
product improvement, getting better workers and so on.

You are doing all of this so you know what places you can and
should position yourself to help them in.

After that you want to list the problems they will have along the
way. Cashflow, cost control, customer satisfaction and
distribution are all real challenges they might face.

What you have done in a nutshell is find out?

  * Who your market is (the types of people)

  * What they want

  * How they will measure their success to go to where they want
to go

  * The strategies they will take to get there

  * And the challenges they will face

You just want to know everything that is valuable to your market.

Then once you have it all mapped out you want to ask yourself if
your product makes a significant impact on the information you
have collected. After that you want to know in what way or how
you impact the information you collected.

Then all you need to do is find out what your product actually
does for them relative to what they want.

Then you know which areas you can make a difference. After that
you just make your USP based on the areas in which you impact.

This helps you understand what your customers actually want and
how you can really fill a role in their lives. So now you know
how what you do impacts the areas of their life.

This gives you an understanding of the people your marketing to
so you can know how to position yourself in their lives.

You want to have all of your messages directed to what is most
important to your market and how you will effect that.

The best thing you can do is have an understanding of your market
and know the areas that are important to your market that you
want to effect.

So simply take all the data you have gathered and put all of the
areas you impact into a USP unique selling proposition. Here is
the final result:

  "We help sales and marketing people achieve growth and revenue
goals through business planning for increased customer and income
growth all while increasing cash flow, product development, and
competitive positioning."

Here are four more good questions to ask to deepen your
understanding of your USP.

These four questions are good to ask to determine what makes your
business unique.

Why should they listen to you?

Why should the market even care what you have to say. Is there
something special about you or are you just another person trying
to sell them something.

The idea here is to give them a real reason that they should
listen to you instead of your competition.

Why should they do business with you instead of anybody and
everybody else?

Is there any real reason to do business with you? Why should your
prospects do business with you instead of your competition?

What can your product do for me that no other product can do?

What does your product uniquely do that no other service can
claim to do? Or maybe you just do it in a unique way.

Leverage what is is that you do differently so you can give
yourself more exclusive positioning.

What can you guarantee me that nobody else can guarantee?

"Can you guarantee me a 365 day satisfaction guarantee on these
French fries?" Said the man to the clerk. "No, but I our policy
states that if anyone is unhappy with our service their next 7
dinners are free." Now that is a good start for a USP unique
selling proposition...

I will sum it all up in one sentence.

Make yourself unique by having an original claim to give your
potential customers something they can't get anywhere else then
deliver on it.

Marketing for Introverts: Is an Online Business the Cure-All?
Copyright (c) 2010 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



According to a marketing coach I know, an online business is the
peachiest earning situation for introverts. She offers several
valid arguments for her point: You can easily set up the business
in a way that suits you; you don't have to get dressed up to
impress others in person; and you can eliminate stressful
in-person interactions by dealing with clients on the web, by
phone and via email.

However, I'm wary of her overall claim, for these reasons:

1) Most introverts are not anti-social and do not need to
withdraw from all face-to-face contact. Being an introvert just
means that too much social interaction is draining and you need
to recharge your energy alone. I know introverted therapists,
actors, car mechanics, teachers, dentists, carpenters and pastors
who cope very well with a daily work life involving
person-to-person contact. As an introvert, you don't have to
rely on Internet Age technology as your life raft.

2) After you catalog your strengths and talents, you may discover
you find the greatest joy in something that isn't best pursued
online, either for practical reasons or because the customer base
you'd most enjoy serving isn't interested in getting their
needs met online. Why disqualify otherwise appealing professional
options because they're incompatible with the lifestyle of a
hermit?

3) The image of someone who thrives best at a remove from society
can get you to overlook talents you have not yet noticed or have
discounted. For example, it took me decades to realize I can do
very well at public speaking, because my distorted self-image was
of a quiet person who preferred to stay out of the spotlight. On
the contrary, many reserved people do very well in the public
spotlight, from politicians like Calvin Coolidge to actors like
Meryl Streep and broadcasters like Diane Sawyer.

4) Most of us, whether introvert or extrovert, need a degree of
balance. Running a 100 percent online business, using 100 percent
online marketing methods, can be too isolating even for someone
solidly in the introvert column. After all, solitary confinement
is considered an extreme form of punishment, and communicating
with everyone online can be one small step short of that.

In counteracting society's stereotypes of introverts, it's
essential not to fall victim to other unnecessary limits. My
approach involves not assuming what's best for an introvert, but
rather creating the inner and outer conditions for
self-discovery, exploration and effectiveness.

Are you ready to find your unique path to success?

Disaster Preparedness | Safeguarding Your Most Valuable Assets - Company
Knowledge
Copyright (c) 2010 Anne Sych
Novo Help Desk Software
http://www.novosolutions.com/



Nobody likes to have to think about disaster preparedness, and
many do not give thought to safeguarding 'company knowledge',
but among other tangible catastrophic losses, it can mean the
difference between your business making it or going under when a
disastrous event occurs.

We all ensure that we have adequate insurance to cover physical
property loss - but what about safeguarding your company
knowledge? Critical company knowledge must be retained and
readily accessible to return your business to its 'normal'
operating state as quickly as possible.

Some examples of critical company knowledge are:

  * Employee knowledge: In an emergency employees may not be able
to get to work, leaving others to have to step in and perform
their tasks. Documenting standard procedures and vital employee
knowledge empowers others to quickly step in and do essential
jobs.

  * Emergency procedures: Having 'easy to access' emergency
procedures in place is critical to every business. Documenting
emergency procedures for physical facilities, customer and
employee care, financial, and organizational management may not
only help reduce the level of crisis, but for some businesses may
reduce injury and harm. Centralized documentation ensures that
everyone instantly has access to the same protocol.

  * Legal Documentation: A knowledge base is an ideal place to
store electronic copies of tax and legal documents, licenses,
warranties, insurance documents, etc. Should an event occur and
you lose paper documentation, you will have immediate access to
electronic copies.

  * Business Recovery: It is also essential to document what is
involved in restoring your business to normal conditions. This
includes:

employee communications - informing employees of important and
timely information

customer communications - policies on 'what' to say to your
customers 'when'

data communications - protocol for setting up computers and
servers (logins/passwords, etc) in the correct sequence.

When selecting a knowledge management solution, it is essential
that your information is stored on a web-based platform, so that
it is accessible everywhere with a web browser. In an emergency
you may not be able to get to your physical building; anything
stored there may be useless if you cannot access it. In addition,
if you are well prepared you have more to offer the community,
who may not be as prepared as you are. This is one way we can all
support one another in difficult times.

So take the time to ensure your business is fully prepared for
any unexpected disaster, whether it is something as ordinary as a
snowstorm, or disastrous as a tornado. You have invested so much
of your time and resources building your business....ensure you
are protecting your investment.

Use Online Fax To Lower Your Faxing Costs
Copyright (c) 2010 Titus Hoskins
Bizware Magic
http://www.bizwaremagic.com/



Regardless of which business you're operating, cutting down on
operating costs is always a major concern. The same goes for all
your faxing expenses - any program or system which lowers your
monthly costs should be considered. That's where Internet or
online fax enters the equation.

Online fax is the modern way to fax. It uses the Internet and
your email system to send and receive all your faxes. Your faxes
are sent as email attachments and can be easily stored on your
computer and/or in your online account for easy access and
filing. It is paperless faxing which requires no inks and toners,
or even a conventional fax machine for that matter. But most of
all it is a cheaper way to fax.

First, because it is web based your start-up costs are very low
since you don't need an extra fax phone line. And since
everything is out-sourced to a third party online fax provider
you can set-up a local or toll-free number within minutes. Most
of these providers have no set-up fees and most will give you a
30 Day Trial period where you can test out their services. All
this will save you money, especially when you consider the cost
of setting up a traditional fax line and system in your office or
company.

Next, monthly costs of running your new online fax account are
very low, on average these charges run around $7 - $10 a month.
Some services are priced lower and some higher, so it does pay to
shop around to find the service which perfectly matches your
faxing needs, especially when you consider each provider has
slightly different faxing plans (number of faxes your can
send/receive each month) and slightly different rates for overage
faxes.

Then you have to realize, online faxing is completely portable
and available anytime and anywhere you have web access. This
means that your company is virtually open for business around the
clock. This can save you money on commuting expenses especially
if you have workers who work out of their homes, a trend that is
becoming very popular these days. Online fax fits neatly into
this new workplace or workforce, cutting down your operating
expenses.

Online faxing is also completely scalable for any company or
business, you can quickly add or subtract fax lines since there
is no hardware to install. For a growing business this can be a
great money-saver which shouldn't be ignored, especially if your
company depends upon faxing to bring in new sales and clients.

Lastly, online fax is very secure, easy to use, and brings your
whole faxing system into the modern world of the computer and the
net. Your faxes are accessible around the clock, regardless of
where you are in the world. It completely liberates any business
or company from just a physical location and totally modernizes
your faxing, while cutting your operating costs - what more can
you ask for?

Beginner's Guide To Multiple Domain Web Hosting
Copyright (c) 2010 Adrian Aditya
Unlimited Hosting Plan
http://www.unlimitedhostingplan.com/



Gone are the days when you had to open a separate account for
each of your website. Since the past few years website owners
have been able to enjoy the various advantages offered by
multiple domain hosting services.

As the name implies, this kind of hosting plan allows you to host
more than one website under one hosting account. This means there
is no any additional fee required every time you have a new site.
In the long run this can save you a great amount of money.

To add a new domain, what you need to do first is to go to the
web hosting control panel. Then go to a section called Addon
Domains and fill in the boxes provided therein with your new
domain, document root, username and password. Finally click the
Add Domain button. It is that simple!

The username and password that you insert in the above section
will be used to access the files of your website through an FTP
program. In fact, each of your site has its own FTP account.

After that you should create at least one email account for your
new domain name. Once again, you can set up several email
accounts dedicated for a certain domain.

Not only FTP accounts and email accounts, the multiple domain
hosting service also provides one or more statistical reports for
each of your domains. The most common programs used for this
purpose are AWStats and Webalizer. With these features you can
find out how each of your sites has performed.

The same also applies for database. A multiple domain hosting
service enables users to install different databases for
different websites. As you know scripts like WordPress or Joomla
require database to operate. This means you can develop a
different type of websites for each of your domain.

Usually multiple domain hosting providers provide a feature
called Fantastico. Using this tool it will be very easy for you
to install various scripts for all of your sites. From web log to
image gallery, all can be installed with a few mouse clicks with
Fanstastico.

Another advantage of using a multiple domain web host is that you
can use some of your domains for redirection. This can be very
useful to hide affiliate links for instance.

Once again, a hosting service with multiple domain features lets
you host all the sites that you own without having to open
different hosting accounts. It is like opening more than one
accounts, except it is cheaper because what you use for the
additional domains is actually the subfolder of your root
directory.

Although basically multiple domain hostings are offered as shared
hosting services, some providers allow you to use a dedicated IP
for all of your domains with no cost or for a small fee.

Before choosing a hosting company that provides this feature
there are several things to take into account. You should know
how many domains are allowed to be hosted. There are companies
that allow you to host a maximum of 10 domains, while others
allow you to host domain names in an unlimited number.

Another important thing to consider is the amount of monthly data
transfer as well as disk space offered. Generally, the more sites
you want to build the larger disk space and monthly data transfer
you will need.

Clearly, this type of web host is very suitable for you who have
a plan to build numerous sites covering different niches. So if
your business plan incorporates more than one website, multiple
hosting plan is something that you should consider.

How to Improve Your Online Marketing Results
Copyright (c) 2010 Jamie Lee
Conversion Hub
http://www.conversion-hub.com/



Several factors are integral in determining your advertising
campaign success and conversion rates. A good frame work to
assess your campaign would be to base it on the 40-40-20 rule.

The 40-40-20 dictum is that 40 percent of your marketing success
is dependent on your ability to target your audience, another 40
percent is dependent on your value proposition, and the last 20
percent is reserved for everything else, including creatives.

Identify Your Target Audience Segment (40%)

Firstly, to capture the attention of your target audience, you
first need to be able to segregate and identify this group of
people you are trying to reach.

You cannot advertise effectively if you don't know who your
message is intended for. 40% of how your campaign turns out is
dependent on your ability to distinctively target your audience
segments. Clearly marketing beer to pre-school children is recipe
for disaster.

An audience segment is a sub-set of a market that displays
characteristics that cause them to demand similar products or
services based on qualities of those products. Segments could be
identified based on price tolerance, gender or geography.

A true market segment is one that meets all of the following
criteria: it is distinct from other segments, it is homogenous
within the segment, it responds similarly to a market stimulus,
and it can be reached by a market intervention.

Only when you have clearly identified your market segment can you
tailor your advertising campaign to target these people. But
first, you need a sound understanding of your product and the
market segment that the product caters to. Then, you need to
understand your market segment - their demographic and
psychographic characteristics, purchase behaviour, media habits,
and so forth.

Depending on your advertising channel, this targeting can be done
through demographic filters or behavioural filters.

Efficient keyword portfolio management across major search
engines and optimisation of the entire bidding process is
especially important. Managing a keyword portfolio is essential:
analysing each keyword on its individual merit and as a unit.

Chances are, you need to have thousands of keywords to maximise
your ROI through search. However, automation and bid management
tools can save you a large amount in click costs.

Just remember to bear in mind that these tools also need
management, rules setting, objectives planned and control over a
valuable marketing budget often too large to solely place in the
hands of a software device. Also, be aware of the technical
variations and differences in performance of the search engine.

Value Proposition and Funnel Design (40%)

The next 40% depends on your sales funnel design and overall
value proposition articulation. You have a specific goal for your
ad campaign and your advertisements are supposed to serve as a
funnel to drive all incoming traffic into your goal.

The sales funnel begins by capturing the attention of prospects.
Some prospects are convinced to become buyers of the product your
ad campaign is marketing, demonstrating that they have a need for
what is on offer and are willing to invest money to solve their
problem.

The sales funnel continues to nurture the best customers,
filtering out mismatches and refining the specific target
customer, offering them more specialised products and services,
often at higher prices.

By the end of the process the funnel has identified the
highly-responsive customers who purchase everything on offer and
experience the most value and satisfaction from every purchase
made. It is from these responsive consumers that the majority of
profits are made.

More than just selling a product, you want to be seen as selling
a solution.

Because the shift to solutions selling also tends to require
changing customers' perceptions, one of the most crucial aspects
to success is understanding and convincingly communicating to
your target audience the value proposition - the benefits
specific to the customer and to the solution - as well as the
most powerful differentiators that enable that value to be
delivered.

This is depends on how you articulate your overall value
proposition. As always, a compelling message is crucial. That
said, the message is meaningful to a potential customer only if
it is relevant, impactful, credible and clear. Remember these
points while trying to be persuasive.

Advertising Design And Creative Collaterals (20%)

The remaining 20% is a function of design and creatives. Humans
are, after all, visual creatures, and respond better to
visually-appealing and attention-grabbing material. Be it print
ads, TV or radio commercials or viral ads, there's nothing like
creative, smart and clever advertising that grabs eyeballs.

 As we have seen, to create a successful advertising campaign you
have to start with knowing the people you are selling to, then
creating a strategy with your sales funnel design, overall value
proposition and design creatives that is tailored to them.

Anxiety Disorder and Panic Attacks: How Cognitive Behavior Therapy Can Help You
Copyright (c) 2010 Dr Jeannette Kavanagh
Calming Words
http://www.calmingwords.com/



In your journey to conquer anxiety and to eliminate panic attacks
from your day-to-day life, no one approach will be totally right,
but Cognitive Behavior Therapy can be a very powerful part of
your recovery. In this short article, I want to explore what's
involved in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, so that you can make a
decision whether or not you'd like to explore it with your
therapist.

De-Constructing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

When we de-construct the term, we look at each of the three words
separately to increase our understanding of the whole.

Cognitive

The first part of CBT is from the Latin cogito I think. Some of
you might recall those Philosophy lectures about Rene Descartes
and his famous 'cogito, ergo sum' - I think, therefore I am. In
general conversation, we link 'cognitive' with an intellectual
engagement. We hear about cognitive deficits caused by brain
damage, so let's say that the cognitive component of this
therapy involves our brains, our thoughts. It explores how you
think and react to things, and how those thoughts elicit an
anxiety response or start your panic attacks. If you want to
eliminate panic attacks, you have to recognize your role in
creating and maintaining them via what I call unhelpful thinking,
unhelpful habits of mind.

Behavioral Or Even Behavioural

In this treatment model, the behavior component isn't just about
how you behave in the sense of what you do. It's also about how
you react before you do things, and it's also about how many of
those behaviours become a habit and almost automatic. The
behavioural component is also about the range of responses your
therapists make available to you. Your therapist will work with
you to find alternative ways to react, to break down your
automatic responses. Through CBT, when you see that lift
(elevator) door opening, you'll be able to react in a calm way
instead of automatically panicking about using the elevator.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is an extremely interactive approach.

Therapy

The third part of CBT, therapy, is from the Greek therapeía
healing. The healing or therapeutic component is about what you
and your therapist do. It might involve you learning relaxation
exercises, but it's also part of an ongoing conversation and
series of observations about your thoughts, reactions and
actions. My counselling Practice and my e-kit Calming Words
involves helping people to learn to meditate and I encourage
daily meditation as part of building up our reservoir of calm
which is depleted daily by our hectic lives.

Eliminating Panic Attacks using Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Each anxiety or panic attack follows a well-documented cycle. R
Reid Wilson in his book Facing Panic calls it the Panic Cycle.

First step is where you have contact with stimuli which makes you
feel anything from slightly nervous to downright terrified. For
instance, if you have had panic attacks in the shopping Mall,
you'll feel terrified just entering those automatic doors.

In a Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach your therapist would
have you look closely at that initial trigger. You may be asked
to do something that seems paradoxical: you may be asked to
increase the number of times you experience that initial fear.
That's called an exposure-based intervention, and it can happen
in your therapist's office or in the Mall. It's a way of
allowing you to see what you already know at a rational level.
Namely, that there is nothing to fear. Cognitive Behavior Therapy
allows you to think (cognitive) about your fear response
(behavior) so that you can construct a more appropriate response
(heal).

At the end of most panic attacks the anxiety reducing behaviour
of choice is avoidance. You stay home, or you only go to the Mall
with a friend who knows about your problem, or you only go to the
movies if you can sit on the aisle seat - ready for a quick
escape.

You're in charge. However, at both ends of the panic attacks
cycle your reactions (cognitive responses) and behaviour (panic
or escaping) are the cause of your continuing discomfort. Both
sets of behaviour are inappropriate. Both can be discussed as a
way of re-writing the script. What script? The one that says
'enter Mall, feel terrified'. It's your thoughts that evoke
your adrenaline (fear) response. Through Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy, we can help you work with those thoughts and responses
to re-align them so that you change your response to entering the
automatic doors at the Mall - or whatever triggers your fear.

Are Alienware Gaming Laptops Worth Buying?
Copyright (c) 2010 Titus Hoskins
Bizware Magic
http://www.bizwaremagic.com/



Perhaps one of the most discussed questions in gaming circles:
are Alienware gaming laptops worth the price you have to pay for
one of these high-performance rigs? This argument runs along
several viewpoints which are heatedly debated by hardcore gamers.
Close examination of these discussions may prove helpful if
you're looking to buy one of these machines.

First, many gamers suggest buying any laptop, Alienware or
otherwise, for gaming is a totally ridiculous idea. Gaming
laptops are often over priced, they are difficult to upgrade and
because everything is pushed into such a tight space, fan noise
and overheating are common problems which keep arising. Instead,
gamers should stick with a gaming desktop PC which is much
cheaper and don't have the problems as those associated with
gaming notebooks.

However, despite this argument gaming laptops are increasing in
popularity and top brand names like Alienware, Falcon, Rock...
have taken on a "cult-like" status among many gamers. These
maxed-out, high-performance machines are stylized versions of
pure gaming power. They are designed to capture the eye as well
as the heart. And the buying public have signaled their approval
by opening their wallets.

But regardless of how nice they look - are Alienware gaming
laptops worth the price?

Actually, prices have been steadily falling and you can now get
an entry level Alienware at a reasonable price, the extremely
portable M11x even comes in under a $1000. However, for a totally
maxed out system with the highest components, you're still
looking at a 4 or 5 grand price tag. Ouch!

But lets face it, if you want the top-level processors and
top-level GPUs or graphics cards, you are going to have to pay
top dollar no matter if it's Alienware or some other
manufacturer. As long as they get the quality, many gamers don't
mind paying the price. After all, these machines are luxury
items, although they can serve a practical purpose especially if
you want it for video editing or heavy graphic design work.

But many argue that you can get a decent gaming laptop at a lower
price by going with a lesser known brand such as Asus, MSI or
even Toshiba. If you shop around, you will probably find cheaper
gaming rips but they won't be an Alienware machine. Some gamers
just won't settle for anything less than an Alienware laptop.

However, even here, there are opposing views because of the whole
Dell issue, some gamers don't like buying a Dell product.
Alienware was purchased by Dell in 2006, and although Alienware
has kept its own brand since then, it is now marketed through
Dell. Many gamers resent this fact, although in reality, Dell
with its XPS line does produce some half-decent gaming notebooks.

Still, the question remains, are they worth the money?

Probably yes, because Alienware produces some of the fastest and
best gaming laptops on the planet, however, that top style and
performance comes at a premium. In the end, that question comes
down to the eye of the beholder and how deep are their pockets?
If they can afford it, many gamers will still pick Alienware over
a cheaper model, because they simply have to have an Alienware.
That's a good enough reason for many gamers.

Maintaining Adequate Spill Containment Systems In The Workplace
Copyright (c) 2010 Rathi Niyogi
CriticalTool, Inc.
http://www.criticaltool.com/



A work area spill of toxic or hazardous agents can be a scary
state for all concerned. The natural impulse for nearly all
people when they recognize a discharge happening is to do their
best to intervene and try to rectify the problem themselves.
Unfortunately, this is nearly always the incorrect course of
action - workers should in no way put themselves in a hazardous
situation by attempting to actually halt or slow up a unsafe
spill. This ought to be noticeably outlined in the course of
spill containment training sessions with any workers who are
exposed to hazardous agents during the process of conducting
their duties.

Of course there is no replacement for the acceptable equipment.
Spill pallets and spill berms should be on hand and in use as a
primary safeguard against spill hazards. The main weapon that a
risk administrator can deploy against the issues posed by spills
is in the proper management of production and storage areas where
spills are most likely to take place. Transportation corridors
must also receive the similar sort of attention. If a spilled
substance can be safely channeled into secure temporary or
disaster holding spaces that are away from sparks, open flames,
electrical circuits or employees then there is no requirement for
staff to do something other than de-activate their device and
leave the area in the event of a spill.

External storage tanks, be they for oil, gasoline or other types
of chemical storage are often targets for overfilling or
deterioration, both of which can cause leaking. The use of diking
encompassing these tanks in order to collect spills and prevent
the distribution of possibly flammable, corrosive or otherwise
harmful liquids is recommended by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA), and in some conditions may in fact
be mandated by law, depending on the volume of the tank being
used. The need for these types of dikes and barriers can also be
associated to the quantity of vehicular traffic in the storage
space itself. Make sure that OSHA rules do not explicitly
prohibit the installation of dikes near the container, as they do
for those controlling certain chemicals such as liquefied
petroleum gas.

In addition to dikes and barriers, OSHA also suggests the use of
diatomaceous earth when controlling spills. Spreading this
chalk-like substance is a proven technique of sopping up
potentially treacherous liquids. If workers can carefully utilize
diatomaceous earth via proscribed steps as an element of an
disaster response plan that does not put them in any peril, then
this may well be a competent option for containing a spill.

There are also chemicals existing which can be sprayed in the
course of a spill through pressurized applicators that allow your
workforce to keep their distance. These particular materials can
not only hamper the progress of a spreading substance, but also
reduce the effects of any fumes or even completely solidify the
substance in question. At their most efficient, these agents not
only harden a material, but also chemically change its
combustibility so that it can be safely disposed of once the
danger is over. Fast-acting agents can even be utilized to
produce impromptu barriers as they can affect the primary edge of
a spill to swiftly lose its fluidity.

Create Staggering Wealth With An Efficient Marketing Sales Funnel Process
Copyright (c) 2010 Ryan Parenti
Build Online Wealth
http://buildonlinewealth.com/crazyfreeoffer



Did you know a marketing sales funnel process can make you or
break you? It's easy and you can make big bucks online quickly
if you do this right.

First Off What Is A Sales Funnel?

A sales funnel is a way to tier your buyers. A lot of people come
in at the beginning the it leads them down to higher priced
products where you will have less buyers.

But there are a few main elements that many people leave out. The
traditional sales funnel is missing a key competent.

It doesn't show you how you create value for your market. Value
is defined by what the market does.

It is defined by what people are willing to take action to get or
to keep.

The value you provide needs to be in the process not in the
products you sell. That's why an effective sales process is a
step by step process leading a person to make multiple buying
decisions.

What If People Don't Buy?

If people are not taking the next step in your sales process you
didn't provide value earlier in the sales funnel.

So the value is not only in the product but in the entire process
that you lead your customers through. You can measure the value
you give by the actions your customers take.

The truth is the process you send people through is the funnel in
which you coordinate all of your sales.

For your marketing you need finely tuned selling systems, known
as the sales funnel management or marketing sales funnel
processes.

You need to find, get, and keep customers and you do this through
your sales funnel.

If you can find and get people in your sales process you can make
some money but when you master keeping them and selling them more
products then you become wealthy.

Here is an example.

You can look at something like your car. This is a 'system'
that allows you to go from point a to point b.

But if one of the parts goes out, like the axis, the entire
system shuts down.

So every part of your sales process needs to be working or else
the entire system shuts down and bleeds to death.

Where Do You Start The Your Marketing Sales Funnel Process?

The first step is to do some research. Find some markets that you
want to get into.

Then you need products and then you need to advertise.

Look for solo mailings where people have paid to get on lists.
Then look at the offers of the solo lists and then mimic the
their sale product.

You do this because you know what price range to target and what
type of way to position your product to these people.

I am telling you that when you are looking for solo mailings to
advertise in you can then simply mimic the product that they have
already bought because you know they want it.

A suggestion that works!

So What About The Sales Process?

The first step of your actual sales process is to differentiate
yourself. To position yourself in a unique way.

If you are the same as everyone else it will be very difficult
for you to build a extremely profitable business. You need to
develop a USP (Unique Selling Proposition).

After you know how your going to uniquely position yourself you
want to shape and influence your prospect with education that can
help them make a buying decision.

This is how you follow up with people who are in your funnel.
Presell them on your offers and show them why you are uniquely
qualified.

Every time you make contact influence their buying decisions
through education and preselling.

Perhaps make mention of something that your competitors are
missing. When you are educating your prospects you want to plant
the seeds in them to make the choice to do business with you.

You also want to connect what they need, want or wish to the
solutions your offering. Every point of your sales system needs
to move people to the next step on their path..

Are You Flushing Money Down The Toilet?

You have to measure your business. Really, you have to measure
your business.

It is important to say twice because it is that essential to
success.

You need to measure success so you know what to improve. If you
don't measure whats going on you don't know what to change.

This will help you understand what is meaningless and what is
meaningful.

Honestly there is no reason even doing something if you can't
measure it. If you don't know what the results are why would you
even do it?

On the flip side if you can't change something there is no need
to measure it. It is a waste of time and resources.

So focus your resources and energies on things that you can have
an impact on. Then you can do something in these areas to grow
the business. Increase or decrease what you do to impact your
numbers.

Add more bonuses, bundling products, ect.

Here is the easy way to measure if you are doing well.

Measuring customer actions is where you start. Every time you ask
your customer to do something (like buy another product) you can
determine if you are giving value or not by if they take action.

If customers are taking action then you are providing value. If
not then you need to provide more value.

Taking note of customer action is probably the biggest way to
measure how good you are at creating value and giving them what
they want.

The trick is to create a sales process that has value built
inside of it. As a person walks through your sales process you
want to give them exactly what they need at that point in the
sales process.

If you measure your numbers you can tell if you are providing
that to them.

So you need to create a sales process then measure what goes on
so you can look at what it is that you can change and improve.

Do You Know The #1 Thing That Will Increase Your Profits?

If not you need to find out!

When your testing and tracking results your looking for the thing
that is undermining your sales. This is a vital point for
improvement and when you do something about it you will have much
better results.

Listen, if you have a whole as big as a bus in your sales process
then some people are falling through it! So you want to patch up
your leaks and create a finely tuned engine.

So you need to decide out of all the areas that can be improved
what is the one area that you want to focus on.

Look for your weak links because if you improve them they will
give the best results overall. Basically this is saying to find
out what your biggest weakness is and focus your efforts into
improving the sales funnel management.

Marketing to Introverts: Seven Marketing Pitches That Leave Introverts Cold
Copyright (c) 2010 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



According to Dr. Marti Olsen Laney, introverts make up roughly
25% of the population. Yet when you look at high-IQ people and
high earners, the percentage is far higher. So if you hope to
capture the attention and patronage of introverts, it's vital to
downplay or avoid marketing tactics that don't influence them to
buy - or send them running in the opposite direction.

Unlike extroverts, who thrive on social interaction, introverts
recharge their batteries by being alone. They tend to be more
private, quiet and to-the-point than extroverts.

Here are seven types of marketing pitches that are common in
Internet marketing - and elsewhere - that leave introverts cold.

1. Earnings brags. Screen shots of earnings as they appear in a
shopping cart program or merchant account report are pervasive in
Internet marketing promotions. Some proponents of this tactic
claim that this is the only way to prove that the seller is as
successful as he says. Introverts aren't swayed by such
"proof," however, because someone who shows exactly how much
money they made is utterly unlike them. To the introvert, what
such a person made doesn't indicate how much they themselves
might make. The introvert is far more likely to take an interest
in customer testimonials from people who sound like themselves.

2. Name dropping. Introverts make decisions on substance, not on
who knows who, so referring constantly to big-name people as your
friends doesn't influence them at all. Likewise, some speakers
boast that they "shared the stage with so-and-so," but to an
introvert that is no credential - not even a weak one. Trotting
out the names of famous clients and sharing things they said is
considerably worse, because it gets introverts thinking that you
do not respect confidences.

3. Numbers served or sold. A bio in a direct mail piece I
received yesterday starts off: "Dr. XXX currently owns and
operates a clinic in YYY with over 20,000 patients." To an
introvert, this fails to impress at all. Who wants to be one of
20,000? Introverts dislike being part of a herd, following the
crowd or being treated as a number. If this bio said instead that
Dr. XXX deliberately keeps his practice small, so he can give
each patient personal attention, and that there's a waiting list
of several months to see him, that would make him far more
interesting to the introvert.

4. Saying large is small. "We're limiting this seminar to just
150 people, so act fast," said one promotion I heard recently,
but to an introvert that statement is totally absurd. A room
containing 150 people is a crowd, not by any stretch of the
introvert's imagination an intimate event. To the introvert, any
group larger than about 12 is no longer small. It's fine to run
large events. Just don't call them small!

5. Pressure to decide fast. Introverts have certainly been known
to make impulse buys, but since they pride themselves on thinking
things through, they resent and reject pressure to make up their
mind before they're ready. Introverts generally want a lot of
information before pressing the "buy" button, and if you use a
countdown clock saying there's only XX minutes or hours until
the offer goes away forever, they're gone instantly, never to
return.

6. Talking head videos. Since introverts usually love to read and
can read quickly, they feel tortured when a web site conveys
crucial information in a video that could have been conveyed in
text. They don't hate the video medium in itself, only when it
seems to be used out of laziness or self-aggrandizement rather
than to show something that couldn't be as easily communicated
any other way.

7. Too much personal information. Introverts prefer you to get to
the point. Therefore, when you go on and on and on about your
spouse, kids, pets, vacation or new yacht they tune out. If you
want introverts as clients, beware of revealing facts that may
reflect badly on you, even if you believe you've cast them in a
positive light. For example, you may think discussing having gone
bankrupt makes your current success more impressive. The
introvert may not be able to get past your confessing this
failure so blithely, since this is something they'd never abide
others knowing about themselves. For introverts, either minimize
the personal revelations or segregate them in a section of a
newsletter or web site they can skip.

My own clients tend to be about 75 percent introverts, and this
probably has to do with how easily introverts can identify that
I'm someone like them whose success they can model. Take a look
at the personality profile of your own customer base and how you
market, and you may well find some eye-opening patterns.

You may certainly decide to continue to turn off introverts, but
do make that a conscious choice rather than a side effect of
simply following popular marketing tactics.

How to Write a Resume - Simple and Complex at the Same Time

How to Write a Resume - Simple and Complex at the Same Time
Copyright (c) 2010 Rebecca Hawkes
The Resume Builder
http://www.theresumebuilder.com/



Learning how to write a resume is something nearly everyone
learns how to do at one point or another. Whether it be in class,
reading a book, or by mimicking someone else's efforts, it's
something that everyone has done at least once in their lives;
that is, if they've ever applied for a job. Writing an effective
resume is as much a creative art as it is a logical puzzle. How
do you take 500-600 words and make them jump out and scream
"hire me" to an employer? It's a skill that needs constant
refining.

The first thing is to get a professional-sounding email address
if you don't have one already. Many employers today like to take
care of as much as they can over the phone and through email
before actually bringing someone in for an interview. By that
point, the list of candidates is already very short and they're
looking very hard at the people who are left. Your resume is the
key that gets you to that final round, so knowing how to write a
resume is the bulk of the battle.

The hardest part of learning how to write a resume is getting it
noticed. Boilerplate corporate phrases like "results-oriented
professional" or "hardworking team player" are outdated and
generally ridiculed. Companies don't want to hear that you're
results oriented, they want to see it. So, in the
"Accomplishments" section of your resume, make sure to fill it
with all the ways you have saved or made your previous employers
money over the years. You may be a results-oriented professional,
but businesses both large and small are bottom-line driven
establishments. If you show them tangible results, then they'll
show you a healthy salary and a nice corner office.

If you don't know how to write a resume, you're putting
yourself at an extreme disadvantage. Those who can express their
background and accomplishments in words will be ahead of someone
who cannot. It is the resume that leads to the interview, and it
also serves as a thumbnail sketch of who you are. It is important
to be factual on your resume and try not to make yourself out to
be something you're not. If you're caught - even after you've
landed the job--you could be fired on the spot. Save the talk
about shortcomings and weaknesses for the actual interview,
because there you can try your best to minimize, downplay, and
explain them away. By that point, the company might be willing to
hire you anyway if you present yourself to be a compelling
candidate, so work on developing the best possible resume you
can.

Selling to Introverts: 10 Ways to Appeal to Introverts' Marketing Preferences
Copyright (c) 2010 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, you probably have
an unthinking tendency to market to people the way you yourself
prefer to be communicated with and treated. If your target
audience resembles you, that approach succeeds. But if your
target audience differs greatly from you, you're shooting
yourself in the foot when you do that. Worse, unless you've
investigated or learned about the preferences of those with a
different personality, you may not realize the extent of this
disconnect.

For best results, you must market to people the way they prefer
to be marketed to, not the way you prefer to market or be
marketed to.

When you are selling to people who are reserved, quiet,
comfortable with themselves, independent thinkers and not the
life of the party - in other words, introverts - here are 10
important guidelines to keep in mind.

10 Ways to Sell Successfully to Introverts

1. Third-party credibility boosters. Introverts tend to be less
gullible than extroverts, because they're less swayed by
enthusiasm or the desire to follow the crowd. You want to win
their respect, and they respect media coverage, awards,
certifications, credentials and endorsements from industry
leaders who are known as the most competent in their field. Any
relatively objective indicator of excellence influences
introverts to become more interested in what you offer.

2. Confidentiality. Introverts treasure privacy, and they retreat
when they see that you might not keep their patronage of you
private. Coaches and consultants who illustrate their points with
examples from clients raise this suspicion, even if the clients
are identified only by a first name. Likewise, offering feedback
as part of a package but only in public can make introverts hang
back. Explicit reassurances about confidentiality can be crucial
to earn the trust of introverts.

3. Opportunity to ask questions before the sale. Because
introverts are less likely to get swept along by the breathless
enthusiasm of a sales pitch, they value the chance to contact the
seller to clarify something that's important to their
decision-making process. Saying there will be an opportunity to
get questions answered after the sale helps, also. If the
question-asking occurs in private rather than in a group setting,
all the better.

4. No gratuitous videos. Don't force a prospective buyer to sit
through a video in order to access introductory information about
your product. Introverts enjoy watching videos for entertainment
or for demonstrating how to do something, but when you deliver
information on video that that could easily have been conveyed in
text, they'll resent you for wasting their time. Forget about
"talking head" videos for this group.

5. No fluff or filler. Introverts hate hype. They also dislike it
when people don't get to the point. High-content communications
with some promotion woven into it or appended at the end
therefore go over best with introverts.

6. Samples. Because introverts prefer substance to fluff,
they're more eager to buy when they've seen a sample that
impresses them. So if you are selling a book, provide a free
sample chapter; if you are selling a coaching program, make a
sample session available, with the participant's permission
noted.

7. No name dropping. Some marketers like to refer to colleagues
as "my good friend (or buddy) so and so," but if you do that
too many times, introverts may lose respect for you. They'd
rather have fewer, closer friends, and they'll think you're
blowing hot air when you claim to have close relationships with a
lot of people. In addition, the mere fact that you know someone
important doesn't raise your status even a millimeter with an
introvert.

8. Personal attention. Introverts prefer to interact one-on-one
or in small groups. They don't like crowds. So if you offer
seminars, coaching, tours or workout facilities, do so on an
intimate scale. You won't catch introverts yearning to cruise on
a thousand-passenger ship, enjoying stadium-sized lectures or
belonging to a crowded, cavernous gym if they have another
choice.

9. Minimal pressure. If you sell overly aggressively and don't
give an introvert time and space to think through their decision,
they'll duck out and go elsewhere to buy. Deadlines are fine,
but not ten minutes down the line.

10. Practice what you preach. Introverts value consistency.
They're put off by a proofreading service that has a typo in its
marketing copy, a purportedly "green" company that wastes paper
or someone who says he's not selling something yet proceeds to
do exactly that. Make sure you embody the principles you espouse
in the way you promote your offerings and the way you treat
customers.

Above all, communicating in a calm, respectful, content-rich
manner wins over introverts. Be prepared, be succinct, be
substantive with them and you'll be successful.

Help Desk Software: Exploring Deployment Options
Copyright (c) 2010 Clark Tanner
Novo Help Desk Software
http://www.novosolutions.com/



IT professionals of today tend to have high expectations with
regard to the software tools they use to track and manage their
customer issues. Almost everyone who is researching Help Desk
software is looking for the application that has the most
powerful feature set at the best price. Obviously it is easier to
work with prospects who have a very good idea of their core
requirements for the particular project they are focused on. This
allows the sales agent to help them determine whether his or her
particular product offering is a match. And since these calls are
usually coming from IT Managers (or IT staff members who help
manage hardware and infrastructure), it is almost always
"understood" that they are looking for a solution that can be
installed on their own server(s) inside their own IT environment.

Some providers of Help Desk software are now offering various
deployment models for their solutions. This means that there are
additional options that need to be talked about during the
buyer's product research phase. There can be some confusion
around these deployment options, so it is important to be clear
about what is actually available and the various names for these
models. The three main deployment models are In-House
(Perpetual), Hosted (SaaS), and Annual Subscription.

Most everyone has heard of a "Perpetual License" model. This
means that the license has no expiration date associated with it,
so once purchased, it can be used indefinitely by the customer.
We call this an In-House option, since it is installed on a
server inside the customer's environment. While this model
typically requires the greatest initial investment, it is often
still the most popular of the three. The main reason for this is
the current mindset that continues to prevail in the IT world
that says "we want to manage the application internally in our
own environment so we will have ultimate control of the software,
the backend database, the configuration, etc." However, current
trends show that some firms are becoming more open to other
deployment models.

Another well-known deployment model is the "Hosted" model. This
is also often referred to as SaaS (Software as a Service) or
"Cloud Computing" and is becoming more and more popular these
days. This particular model is not installed at the customer
site, but instead is hosted by the provider (so the software
actually runs on a server in the provider's data center). The
greatest benefit of the Hosted model is that there is no
requirement to set up servers or build out infrastructure, which
is typically required for most In-House installations. Cost-wise,
this model is typically the most affordable as it requires the
smallest initial out-of-pocket investment to get started.

Still another deployment type is known as the "Annual
Subscription" model. Some companies who use this term are
referring to a pre-paid 12-month contract on what we previously
referred to as the Hosted model. Other companies offer a 12-month
license that works almost exactly like the In-House model, except
that the license must renewed before the end of the 12 months, or
it will shut down. At Novo Solutions, our Annual Subscription
model seems to be growing in popularity - mainly because it
offers the best of both worlds. The software can still be
installed internally in the customer's own environment, and is
also less expensive than the In-House/Perpetual model. This
option is also drawing more attention because of the current
economic climate and the need to cut back on spending.

This means that everyone can evaluate the various solutions that
are on the market and can determine which software truly is the
best fit for their needs and their IT infrastructure, as well as
their budget. It helps to have an idea of which deployment model
you are focused on at the beginning of a new software research
project. And since some vendors only offer one of the models
described above, this should save time by helping you to narrow
your list before investing lots of time and digging in deep with
product demonstrations and trials.

Researchers who have "done their homework" and have a clear
understanding of what their IT Director is looking for will save
their company time and money by narrowing the playing field and
knowing which vendors to invest quality time with. By
understanding the various deployment models and asking questions
the right questions in advance, a solid "research plan" can be
drafted prior to beginning the project. This can also be a great
way to gain favor with Senior Executives as they will begin to
see who is better at researching and managing software projects.

Developing A Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan
Copyright (c) 2010 Rathi Niyogi
CriticalTool, Inc.
http://www.criticaltool.com/



If you operate a facility with above-ground oil storage capacity
greater than 1,320 gallons using storage tanks, drums,
containers, or utilize equipment that contains oil in excess of
this amount, the EPA requires your facility to maintain a Spill
Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). The facility
should also be non-transportation-related, such as oil drilling
facilities, oil refineries, oil-tanker and railroad-car-loading
facilities, waste treatment facilities, and oil pipelines.

An SPCC plan must go through a process of development, approval,
and certification. Development must be handled by the facility in
question so as to make sure the plan is specific to the concerns
of that facility. Approval must be done by company management,
specifically by a manager authorized to implement the plan. And
finally, the plan must be certified by a registered professional
engineer. Once the plan has passed these steps it must be sent to
the EPA Regional Administrator for review. If the administrator
reviews the plan and find elements of it unacceptable, at his/her
discretion they can require amendments to the plan to bring it
within compliance. The plan developers have the right to appeal
such decisions and submit written arguments to the EPA.

Failure to follow this process and adequately train personnel to
work within a SPCC plan can result in fines of $25,000 per day,
per violation. The EPA Administrator may make on-site inspections
to evaluate use of the plan, as well as the facility's
preparedness.

At the heart of a SPCC Plan is the description of the oil and
chemicals used at the facility, as well as the various media used
to store or transfer the material between areas of the facility.
In question is also the use of containment or diversionary
equipment that is on-site to prevent spilled material from
reaching waterways. Operating procedures should be clearly
outlined, as well as the training and education plans that are
implemented to prevent spills, and re-training programs for
workers after a spill has occurred. Most of all, a SPCC Plan
should specifically outline complete procedures that the facility
will follow in the event of a spill, including spill control
equipment, communications, and clean-up.

Not all facilities who fall into this category consistently
utilize the correct spill control equipment available in the
market. Spill control pallets, spill containment berms, drum
racks, and overpack drums greatly minimize the risks of spill
accidents, provide a strong investment in your SPCC, and
demonstrate your commitment to prevention. It would be wise to
consider all of these products while devising your SPCC and at
the same get management to commit to the budget required to be
compliant.

3-30-3 Rule of Online User Behaviour
Copyright (c) 2010 Jamie Lee
Conversion Hub
http://www.conversion-hub.com/



  * More than 1 Trillion unique URLS online

  * 3-30-3 Rule of User Online Behaviour

  * 3 Seconds before pressing the "Back" button

  * 30 Seconds to evaluate your landing page

  * 3 Minutes to decide to make a particular action

With over 1 trillion unique URLs and 122 million domain names
online, the internet has become a very crowded place.

An effective sales funnel design is instrumental to maximising
conversion. According to Joel, an Internet Strategy Consultant
from Conversion Hub (a Singapore based usability and conversion
optimization consultancy), an average web visitor would give you
a mere 3 seconds before deciding to press the "Back" button of
his browser. If you succeed in capturing his attention, you gain
an additional 30 seconds where he will evaluate your value
proposition. Finally, you will have an additional 3 minutes to
persuade him to perform a particular action.

This is also known as the 3-30-3 rule.

What Is A Sales Funnel?

You should have a specific goal that acts as a funnel to drive
all incoming traffic into your goal. The sales funnel begins by
capturing the attention of prospects. Some prospects are
convinced to become buyers of the product or adopters of the
action your website is persuading. The sales funnel continues to
nurture the best customers, filtering out mismatches and refining
the specific target customer, offering them more specialised
products and services, often at higher prices. By the end of the
process the funnel has identified the highly-responsive customers
who have heeded your message.

Give your visitors exactly what they came to find and you will be
edging them along the sales funnel. This includes an eye-catching
design to draw your target audience's directly to the sales
funnel, a clear marketing message communicating a strong and
clear value proposition, and one or more clear, concise actions
to take.

Measurement And Analysis

An integral step of developing a sales funnel design is
measurement and analysis. Such action will tell you many things
that will help you develop an effective sales funnel, such as
which marketing activities are bringing in the right visitors,
where visitors are losing interest and leaving your site, which
chains of presentations and related visitor actions are producing
your sales and so forth. Conducting measurement and analysis
allows you to drop ineffective marketing activities and messages,
determine which marketing activities are bringing the right
people to your site, where they are dropping out of your sales
pathway and in what percentages. All these means you can squeeze
out more results of your marketing investments. An effective
sales funnel is supposed to be designed to filter out the misses
at each layer, so in that sense, attrition at a certain
percentage rate along the way is both expected and good. This
means that your funnel is focusing on the target audience you are
expecting action from - the customers that have found a reason to
stay on your site for that extra 3 minutes.

Developing your sales funnel or improving on it could be as
simple as the creation of a new top banner or homepage
restructuring to give your visitors a sense of purpose and the
development of a conversion driven goal page.

If your strategies and messages are all over the place, find out
how you can coordinate and synchronise your efforts with an
effective sales funnel design. With 87% of visitors giving you a
very unforgiving 3 seconds to make that first impression, and
only 30 further seconds to evaluate what you have to offer, a
successful sales funnel design could essentially be what makes or
breaks your website.

List Building Tips For The Affiliate Marketer
Copyright (c) 2010 Titus Hoskins
Bizware Magic
http://www.bizwaremagic.com/



If you're into affiliate marketing you will probably already
know how important list building is to your overall success.
However, I sometimes get the feeling from close examination of my
competitor's sites that list building takes a back seat in their
site layout and design. One also gets the general feeling that
list building is not as important as it once was, especially in
the early days of online marketing before the advent of so many
social media/networking sites.

Granted for the ordinary webmaster, in the age of Twitter,
Facebook and YouTube, building your own personal autoresponder
lists have taken a backseat to these social networking sites
which obviously builds your subscriber list for you. But these
are third-party sites controlling your subscribers and while they
more or less eliminates the whole notion of unwanted spam, they
do present issues regarding the use of these lists.

Coming from the old school of marketing, I realized the
importance of my lists from the start. I also realized the most
difficult part of building a list was not getting the
subscribers, but connecting in some way with them and building
trusting relationships with lists in the tens of thousands is not
an easy thing to accomplish.

List building in regards to affiliate marketing is of special
interest to me since I am a full-time affiliate marketer and
anything which makes my job easier I will try. Like most
affiliate marketers, I have created niche sites dealing with the
products and services which I promote. One major component of
these sites is the list building element. On almost all my sites
I try to capture my visitor's contact information to give
follow-up information which lets me market to these subscribers
in a very subtle way.

The important thing here is to offer free ebooks, guides or
e-courses in order to capture this contact information before
these customers are sent along to the merchant's site. This is
the "old squeeze page" which many online marketers use in order
to build their own list of potential prospects for their offers.

This must be a "win-win" situation for everyone involved so I
like connecting these lists to special sales, coupons and deals
which are offered by the merchants. These customers can get
$100's off the price of the products featured so that they end
up with a good deal and you end up with a sale.

All this couldn't be possible if you didn't build your list of
targeted clients or customers looking for the products you're
promoting. List building in this area has proven very effective
for my affiliate marketing, so effective I try to put my
subscriber form or box on all my webpages. So if you're an
affiliate marketer who is sending your visitors directly to your
merchant's site, think again, and see if building or capturing
your visitor's contact information is worth your while? If done
properly, this can be an excellent way of increasing your sales
and commissions.

Another form of list building which I believe too many affiliate
marketers take for granted is the powerful little "cookie". For
those not in the business, a cookie is simply a piece of code
which identifies your referrals as belonging to you or your
affiliate ID, if a sale is made immediately or for any time in
the future you will get credit for the sale because you referred
the customer or client.

Now, the trick here is to pick affiliate products and programs
which have a 90 Day Cookie or more; if a sale is made in those 90
days you get credit for the sale. The longer the length the
better, there are even some products and companies which give
life-time cookies.

Why is this so important you ask?

Well, if you have a popular site you can quickly build up a long
list of potential customers cookied with your affiliate IDs. The
larger the list, the more sales you will make. Affiliate
marketing is a numbers game, the more numbers you have, the
easier it is to succeed. I have found this so profitable that I
try to "cookie" all the lists I build in the process mentioned
above, so that all these potential customers have my affiliate
IDs attached.

So it doesn't take a genius to realize, used in combination,
this can be an extremely profitable form of list building which
every affiliate marketer should be doing if they haven't already
figured out this simple marketing strategy. Build your lists,
cookie your lists, and then sit back and reap the rewards.

Are Anxiety Disorder and Panic Attacks Genetic?
Copyright (c) 2010 Dr Jeannette Kavanagh
Calming Words
http://www.calmingwords.com/



I'm often asked by clients whether or not there's a genetic of
hereditary component to anxiety disorder and panic attacks. That
line of questioning usually leads into a discussion about how
that person's extended family seems to have an abundance of
people with anxiety problems of one sort or another.

Without wanting to sound like a lawyer (Attorney), I have to say
that the answer is yes. And no.

Sorry, but the data are not in on a firm answer one way or
another. Just because you and a couple of your cousins have
episodes of out-of-the-blue panic, or just because you have high
levels of anxiety, doesn't mean that you've inherited those
responses.

Many of the people who come to me with anxiety problems have
extended families filled with exciting, excitable, interesting
and vivacious people with all sorts of anxiety problems. Then
again, just as many clients who have worrying levels of fear of
public speaking or more general anxiety, come from families who
look like they invented the term 'calm' then added 'cool' and
'collected' to it.

In other words, my own empirical data don't support the idea of
a strong genetic pre-disposition either way. As someone who is
scrupulous about research methods, I'm most certainly not
suggesting that my random observations constitute proper research
methods. I'm always cross when I come across someone making
pronouncements based on their unmonitored observations with no
control groups. What I am saying is that for more than twenty
years, my clients have been fairly evenly spread across the
spectrum of people who come from families where everyone is
anxious to those families where they're alone in their anxious
response to life.

The Anxiety Gene

As many of you know, either through your own experience, or as
the friend of someone who experiences them, panic attacks occur
at random and usually out-of-the-blue. Of course if a person
experiences great panic in a particular setting, a cinema (movie
theater) or in an elevator, then there may well be some
predictability about the way s/he'll respond next time they're
in an elevator or they're invited to the movies.

Either way, whether unexpected or anticipated, panic episodes can
really destroy a person's confidence about moving freely in the
world. Early this century, scientists at the Centre for Medical
and Molecular Biology in Barcelona discovered a genetic basis for
most panic attacks. According to an article in irishhealth.com
"Scientists found that a small region on chromosome 15 was
duplicated in 90% of affected family members. The duplicated
region, known as DUP25, contains more than 60 genes, of which
only 23 have so far been identified.

According to the scientists, DUP25 appears to increase the risk
of anxiety disorders. They are now trying to identify exactly
which genes are responsible. This could lead to the development
of drugs that suppress those genes, however this may take a
number of years.

Besides, I'm not at all sure that drugs which suppress genes are
necessarily the best route to take. By all means, I understand
how upsetting and sometimes devastating panic attacks and anxiety
disorder can be. But there are many highly successful strategies
you can use if anxiety and panic attacks are part of what makes
you the wonderful person you are. It's a bit like the world in
the film Gattaca isn't it? Trying to create so-called perfect
human beings via genetic engineering.

If you want to read more, the New Scientist website is a great
place to start. Alternatively, I thoroughly recommend that you
read articles published by "The Anxiety Disorders Association of
America" (ADAA)- you'll find them easily in any search engine.
Dr Reid Wilson's website anxieties.com is another wonderful
source of information and advice about how to tell if your
symptoms are anxiety and how to conquer those inappropriate
emotional reactions.

For now, may I suggest that whether you have a strong genetic
disposition to anxiety or not, the main name of the game is this.
You can conquer anxiety so that it becomes a natural motivating
factor in your life, not a black leaden mass which smothers your
joy. As you'll read in my other articles, your attitude to your
anxiety is the key to the extent to which it has an impact on how
you live your life. Indeed, my counseling Practice and my e-book
Calming Words focus on finding solutions to your anxiety and
panic attacks rather than on trying to work out why you have
them.

Public Speaking Skills: First Principle of Great Communication
Copyright (c) 2010 Dr Jeannette Kavanagh
Conquer Public Speaking Fears
http://www.conquerpublicspeakingfears.com/



We all need public speaking skills, even if it's only the skill
of asking a question at a local meeting of the Parents and
Teachers' Association. Over the years I have seen even very
experienced public speakers forget the most basic principle of
oral (spoken) communication.

Before sharing with you some general advice about principles of
oral or spoken communication, I am assuming that you know that
great presentations take hours, sometimes days, of dedicated
preparation. I do realize that if you make presentations to
clients on a regular basis and it's only the actual content that
changes, you won't have to spend a great deal of time preparing
after the first couple of times.

However, I base all my seminars on the principle that to present
at your best, you must be prepared to prepare. Both your material
and your self.

First Principle: Aural and Visual Communication Are Very
Different

The saying that 'a picture is worth a thousand words' can be
true. Keep that saying in mind when using visual aids. Use a
picture, diagram, flow chart or other image to convey visually
what you'd need a thousand words (or so) to say. Your use of
visuals in a presentation should illuminate the meaning of your
spoken words.

Great presenters support their visual images by speaking in
detail about what is being conveyed visually. That tactic is very
useful and extremely powerful. It focuses the minds of the
listeners simultaneously on the message which they're receiving
both visually and aurally (by listening).

When you show a slide of a rose but you talk about lemons - not
that you'd dream of something as silly as that - but when there
is a conflict between the visual image and what you're talking
about, I need hardly spell out for you the sort of confusion that
follows. Human beings find it difficult to combine aural and
visual media of communication. That is, we find it difficult to
listen to your words (aural communication), while simultaneously
being asked to take in even slightly different information which
you're conveying using on visual aids.

Yet, time and again that is precisely what even the most
experienced public speakers do.

They spend their preparation time really well by distilling some
complex information into a great diagram. By 'great diagram' I
mean one that is clear and easy to understand. They prepare by
creating that great visual and then go on and on and on -about
something else.

Once again, I've often been astounded to pay a huge entry fee to
hear great public speakers present their information to a
targeted audience of people keen to hear them. I'm just relaxing
into the presentation when up on the screen comes a diagram that
looks like a circuit for a computer. Boxes all over the place, a
few arrows going both ways or in circles and a colour scheme that
confuses the listeners even more.

Given my background I'm sorry to have to say this, but
University lecturers have been the worst offenders to date. The
others are the people whose information is extremely up-to-date
and very valuable but they haven't ever invested even a second
of their lives learning how to present their gems.

To quote Dorothy Sarnoff, one of my favourite writers on the
subject of public presentations:

"Speechmaking confidence comes from knowing that you have
something worth saying, and that you can say it in a way that's
worth listening to". (Sarnoff 1981: 42)

My approach to public presentations is inspired by something
Albert Einstein is alleged to have said:

"If you really understand something, you can make it
understandable to a ten year old."

So, be like Einstein: keep it simple. Your words and your
visuals.

There's a related rule I use in my own presentations. You don't
have to follow it, it's just my advice. That rule is:

If your visual aids don't stand alone, or make sense by
themselves, dump them. If you don't discard them, please at
least have a very good second look at them. If your visual
material is going to require lots and lots of verbal explanation,
sorry sweetness, but they're too complex for a public
presentation. You can of course include them in your conference
paper. That's a different medium of communication altogether.

So to sum up that fundamental principle of good oral
communication: never confuse your eager listeners by presenting
difficult-to-follow visuals which in turn, are out of synch with
what you're actually talking about.

Public Speaking Fear Can Mar Your Presentation

A big reason for under par presentations is one with which we all
feel some empathy. The person speaking is a world expert on the
topic but....s/he is has such high levels of fear of public
speaking that it becomes easier to hide in visuals. Worse still,
some very nervous speakers resort to standing there and reading
their presentation. I know from having worked with even the most
nervous people imaginable that everyone can conquer their public
speaking fear. If fear of public speaking is more of an issue for
you than preparing your talks and presenting them using clear and
simple visual and verbal language, I urge you to get the help
that will conquer that fear.

How to Work Well With Introverted Clients: Four Guidelines
Copyright (c) 2010 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



Skittish. Cocooned. Loyal. Disciplined. Introverts are those who
enjoy their own company and need time alone to recharge. They may
or may not be shy, but they don't talk for the sake of talking
and aren't at their best in a loud, crowded situation.

You're more likely to describe introverts as interesting people
than as exciting folks to be around. (To an introvert, that's a
compliment, rather than a put-down.) According to researchers,
the percentage of introverts gets higher as you go up the income
scale, so if you work with the affluent or with those in
professions that attract quiet workers, you're more likely to
run into them. As clients, they may require special interpersonal
measures - particularly if you yourself have backslapping,
chatty, everyone's-a-friend tendencies.

1. Respect the Introvert's Reserve

Introverts understand the need for a handshake as a social
greeting, but don't go beyond that. They dislike social hugs,
and even a casual hand on the shoulder may feel out of line to
them if they regard you as a business associate. Personal
comments, like compliments on what they're wearing or guesses
about the ethnic origin of their name, which might establish
rapport with someone else, can feel intrusive to introverts. A
jokey style that prods them to respond in kind starts off with
them on the wrong foot.

They appreciate it when you get down to business with a minimum
of preliminaries. Allow them to talk without finishing their
sentences for them or interrupting.

2. Respect the Introvert's Privacy

Introverts do not relish the idea of others knowing personal
information about them, unless it's absolutely necessary.
They're the ones who come up "private" on caller ID, who have
unlisted telephone numbers, who bring up the issue of
confidentiality at the outset of a relationship. They may balk at
writing a testimonial even when they're extremely pleased with
how you've helped them, because it exposes something about
themselves.

Don't expect them to carry on business in a packed restaurant,
where the waiter and people at neighboring tables can overhear.
Without their permission, don't disclose even innocuous facts
about an introvert, such as the fact that you saw them last
Wednesday or that they went to Cornell, to others. Reassure them
that everything that goes on in your meetings stays within your
four walls. If you set up a working lunch, choose a quiet place
and reserve a table in a corner - or order in for your conference
room.

3. Deal With an Introvert One on One

Introverts come out of their shells most easily with just one
other person at a time. In a group, they fear looking stupid or
feeling vulnerable. They appreciate having your full attention
when face to face. Don't allow telephone or walk-in
interruptions, and don't "unobtrusively" check your BlackBerry
or your computer monitor. They notice.

If you're advising a pair of clients where one doesn't say
much, don't presume silence means the quiet person has no
questions or agrees with the talkative one. Draw out the
introvert by asking for their input and waiting for them to
gather their thoughts.

4. Don't Pressure an Introvert

Introverts process information better on their own and may need
time and space to make decisions. Expecting them to respond on
the spot may get you nowhere. Impatience with their "what ifs"
will backfire, big time.

In a setting that suits them, introverts can be funny, creative,
warm, congenial, productive and loyal. Create that setting for
them, and you can enjoy doing business with them for years and
years and years.

Create A Chemical Spill Response Plan
Copyright (c) 2010 Rathi Niyogi
CriticalTool, Inc.
http://www.criticaltool.com/



While following all appropriate precautions significantly reduces
the chance of a chemical spill, it is mandatory that any facility
that uses chemicals or chemical agents in the course of
production has a Chemical Spill Response Plan in place. This plan
enables all employees to be properly trained in the ability to
respond to a chemical spill, and as a result they can minimize
the harmful effects a spill would produce.

The first part of implementing a plan is to create a chemical
management protocol, which defines who is responsible for care
and storage of chemicals, and where they should be stored in
relation to where they are used. Making sure that chemicals are
stored in the appropriate safety cabinets, as well making sure
that large distances do not have to be traveled while carrying
chemicals to the work area is crucial to minimizing spill
hazards. In addition, when chemicals do have to be stored,
carried and dispensed, the correct safety can should be utilized.
Refer to the MSDS sheet of the chemical to determine the correct
type of safety can for the chemical. As part of this protocol,
use of spill protection equipment is necessary as well, such as
use of spill pallets ,drum racks for drums, spill containment
berms for tanks, and floor spill mats for taps and other
potential drip spots.

The next part of the plan is to create a first aid procedure for
each chemical in the facility. This is extremely important
because treating all chemical burns the same way can make a bad
situation much worse. All workers using the chemicals should be
well-versed in the first aid procedures of each type, so
providing in-depth training is a must. First Aid Response Kits
should be located in close proximity to where chemicals will be
used and be clearly marked and accessible. For extremely caustic
and dangerous chemicals, workers should work in teams so that a
worker can assist in the application of first aid to an injured
worker.

Next, the plan should have a list of items required for chemical
spill management at your facility. Those items include:

Personal Protective Equipment

  * Chemical Splash Goggles

  * Chemical Resistant Gloves

  * Chemical Resistant Shoe-Covers

  * Tyvek Suits

  * Chemical Vapor Respirators

  * Hazardous Spill Signs

Clean-Up Materials

  * Spill Pillows

  * Spill Socks

  * Neutralizers for Acids, Caustics, and Solvents

  * Polypropylene Brush

  * Polypropylene Scoop

  * pH test papers

  * Waste signs, stickers

  * Seal tape

  * Polypropylene waste bags

Spill Containment

  * Drain Covers and Seals

  * Spill Trays for smaller containers

  * Overpack Drums

The plan should provide training and instruction on communication
of the spill, as well as crowd management. It should clearly
define how to provide defense against the chemical spreading into
other areas first, then focus on applying the appropriate
materials to clean up the chemical.

The final part of the plan is to have it approved and endorsed by
management and give your employees the authority to implement it.
Set up a training program to review the program with employees at
least once a year, and run a drill to make sure that they can put
the plan into practice as conceived.

How to Treat Your Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Copyright (c) 2010 Dr Jeannette Kavanagh
Calming Words
http://www.calmingwords.com/



Next to Depression, one of the most common disorders which
affects an estimated 2.4 million people in America alone, is
anxiety disorder. Anxiety can manifest as a generalized anxiety,
panic attacks, social anxiety and agoraphobia. Anxiety disorder
can be mild or so totally disabling that the person is confined
to her or his home. All forms of anxiety can be extremely
frightening to those who experience it frequently, but many
individuals have found comfort in the fact that anxiety disorders
can be treated.

What are Panic Attacks?

Panic attacks are a sudden flow of overwhelming anxiety and fear,
sometimes amounting to terror, which takes over the individual's
body. During a panic attack, the individual will experience a
pounding heart rate, difficulty to breathing and may also
experience dizziness and a feeling of nausea. In some cases, the
person having an attack may also experience a feeling that they
are going crazy or even dying. If left untreated, these episodes
of panic can result in panic disorder and other conditions which
can make it extremely difficult for the individual to enjoy
everyday life. However, effective treatment is available, and as
with other conditions, the sooner you seek treatment, the better.

In most cases, an episode of panic will strike out of the blue,
without any warning. Often, there seems to be no reason for the
panic attacks. They can occur at times where you're feeling
relaxed or even asleep. For many people who experience anxiety,
an attack will commonly occur when you are away from home as this
is when you will feel less safe and secure. Symptoms can present
abruptly and can last for up to thirty minutes. A typical attack
of panic fuelled by adrenaline will usually see the symptoms
reach their full potential within ten minutes.

Symptoms Of A Panic Episode

The main symptoms are:

  * Shortness of breath

  * Heart palpitations (often the person will think they're
experiencing a heart attack)

  * Sweating, Nausea, Trembling/shaking

  * A feeling of being detached from your body/ out of body
experience; and

  * A fear or feeling that you are dying

Someone who has experienced one or two panic attacks will
continue to live their life without any further attacks. However,
in other cases, people find that through their panic attacks they
have entered what we call the panic attack cycle. That cycle
includes:

  * Anticipating, expecting that a particular place or activity
will lead to an attack because it has in the past;

  * Worry which accompanies that anticipation. The worry or fear
is about experiencing another attack; and

  * Not surprisingly, the anticipation brings on the feelings of
panic and the person wants to escape that intense
adrenaline-fuelled fear.

  * After escaping, or sometimes just avoiding, the person feels
stupid and blames herself/himself for being 'crazy'.

  * Soon merely thinking about things that have caused an episode
of panic in the past is enough to generate those feelings.
Avoidance becomes the way to cope because the person is afraid of
feeling such out-of-control terror.

Agoraphobia

When someone allows that fear of the next attack of fear to take
hold, they can develop agoraphobia which means fear of the
marketplace, or intense fear about being away from home. People
with agoraphobia fear having a panic attack in places where
they've had them in the past and where they feel it's difficult
to escape the situation. Places such as concert halls, Malls,
sports stadiums, going to school meetings, attending lectures at
College - these can all trigger fear. It is for this reason that
people with agoraphobia choose to remain at home as much as
possible. Home is where they feel most safe.

However frightening it may be for someone to experience any of
these conditions, there is security in knowing that they can be
treated. The most effective treatment is called Cognitive
Behavior Therapy (CBT). It works by focusing on the thinking
patterns which trigger an anxiety and panic attacks. This helps
the individual to look at their fears more closely, and changing
their reaction to those thoughts.

If you currently suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, you are
not alone. Nor are panic attacks something you have to endure for
the rest of your life. There are many proven ways to treat all
forms of anxiety disorder. By learning about the condition itself
and the reasons why you experience the panic attacks, you'll be
on the journey out of anxiety and panic attacks back to a normal
life once again.

Article Marketing Tips: How Consumers Read Your Articles
Copyright (c) 2010 Bill Platt
the Phantom Writers
http://thePhantomWriters.com/



If you are an article marketer, or you have entertained the
possibility of writing articles, then keep reading...

In this article, I define the Six Essential Elements of writing
articles that generates traffic and produces sales for your
website...

It will all begin to make sense to you when you step into the
shoes of your readers... Because once you understand how your
readers read your articles, it becomes rather obvious what your
articles need to include in order for you to generate interest in
your article, and successfully deliver visitors to your
website...

Once you understand the "how and why" of writing great
articles, you will have the knowledge necessary to help you join
the ranks of the article marketing superstars... But if you miss
the point of this article, you are instead likely to join the
ranks of the people who whine about how Article Marketing a
scam...

There Are Six Essential Elements of Successful Article Marketing:

1. Title - Many people suggest that you should put your top
keywords at the front of your article title, but I don't
subscribe to that methodology. I do include my target keywords in
the title, when I can, but an article that is well-optimized for
the search engines is worthless if it does not get published...
The #1 goal of your articles' title is to get the article
opened!! You must present a title that is going to get the
attention of publishers and readers; you must present a title
that is going to compel a person to at least open your article to
see if they will want to read it...

2. Opening Paragraph - The title got your article opened, but now
you need your reader to read the article... Tell your reader why
they should keep reading your article and read it to its
conclusion... Any reader who does not reach your website from
your article is a "missed opportunity" to sell your stuff...
Show people why it will be in their best interest to finish
reading your article...

3. The Article Body - The article body must meet the promise of
the Article Title and the opening paragraph... The article body
must retain the interest of the reader to the last word... The
article body should tell a story people want to read, and leave
them wanting more... The article body must successfully carry the
reader to the articles' closing paragraph and to your Author's
Resource Box...

4. Your Closing Paragraph - Ideally, when your reader reaches the
last paragraph of an article, the reader should be happy to have
read the article to its conclusion. This is the first point about
your closing paragraph. The second is that the closing paragraph
should successfully bridge the reader from the article to the
Authors' Resource Box. After all, the Authors' Resource Box is
where the writer will get paid for having invested the effort
into writing the article. When the reader reads the resource box
and takes the action the author asked him or her to take, then
the process of writing has the opportunity to offer the writer
great rewards.

5. The Authors' Resource Box - The Authors' Resource Box needs
to transition the reader from your article to your website, by
offering a compelling call-to-action to get the reader to go to
your website... Tell who you are, but don't go overboard...
People do not care who you are or what you have done - they only
care about what else you can do for them... Jeff Herring wrote a
great article that elaborates a bit further on how to construct
an effective Resource Box here (
http://ezinearticles.com/?id=3624961 )...

6. Your Landing Page - You should never try to sell your products
or services in your Authors' Resource Box. Instead, you should
try to get the reader to your website, where you have an
unlimited number of words, videos, pictures and testimonials to
tell the real story of your products or services. Few vendors
have the ability to sell a product or service in 500 characters,
so you should use your Authors' Resource Box to get the reader
to your website, where you will do the real selling...

Tell A Story People Want To Read

Often, the difference between someone who will try to write an
article for $5 and the professional writer who understands the
value of his or her work can be defined simply...

The person writing an article for $5 will "beat around the
bush" for five hundred words, without ever actually saying
anything of any real value to anyone... The person who works for
$5 an article is just putting words on a page so that he or she
can be paid...

The person who demands $40 to $500 to write an article is a
master of story-telling... He or she will tell a story that
people will want to read, and therefore a story that publishers
will want to publish...

The authors who tell a story that "people are happy to have
read" will find their articles on more high-quality websites,
and they will find more people visiting their websites, as a
result of having read the article...

Words on a page only please search engines, but a story on a page
will ALSO attract readers, visitors and paying customers to your
website...

Interestingly, most online marketing gurus who advise hiring
people to write $5 articles fail to tell the whole truth -- they
fail to point out that articles that pass real link popularity to
a website must have link popularity to pass on to your website...

People don't link to articles that are nothing more than "words
on a page", but people will link to a story that needs
telling... Just like with Jeff Herring's article linked above;
his story is worth sharing with you, and as a result, it has
gained its own links from people who do not know Jeff
personally... (I have never met Jeff Herring or talked to him by
phone or email. It was an honest recommendation for a great
article written by him.)

Jeff's article has gained its own link popularity, by merit of
it being a good story... As a result, Jeff's article will pass
real link popularity back to his website, because it has real
value for readers and real link popularity to share...

Article Marketing Will Not Work For Everyone...

There are a great number of us who have made a lot of money with
article marketing... Then there are thousands of others who have
never made any money at all with article marketing...

When you want to find success with an online business, you should
mirror those people who have been successful...

Article Marketing is no different... If you have ever visited a
website or purchased a product, as a result of having read an
article that mentioned the website or product, take another look
at the article that drove you to action... Try to understand the
"how" and "why" that article worked, and then try to figure
out how you can duplicate the formula for yourself...

Chances are good that you will see my "Six Essential Elements of
Successful Article Marketing" in those articles that you are
reviewing...

Fortunately, you don't have to take my word for what I am
telling you in this article... Whenever you find an article that
moves you to visit the website shown in the Authors' Resource
Box, take another look at the article to see how closely it
matches with the "Six Essential Elements" I shared with you in
this article... You may be surprised by what you learn...

Introverted Business Owners: Don't Believe These Three Myths About Introverts'
Marketing Abilities
Copyright (c) 2010 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
http://www.yudkin.com/



An introvert is someone who needs to recharge their energy alone
rather than with other people. An extrovert is someone who gains
energy being with other people and loses energy being alone.
These definitions come from Carl Jung, whose work formed the
basis for the Myers-Briggs personality test. If you're not sure
whether or not you're an introvert, I encourage you to take that
test.

If you do know you're an introvert, you may believe you're at a
huge disadvantage when it comes to marketing. Many experts define
the "shoulds" of marketing in such a way that introverts seem
to need a personality transplant in order to do the outreach
needed to get their business known. At the same time, much of the
stigma attached to being an introvert in business for oneself
comes from misconceptions about introverts, and that's what
I'll be tackling in this article.

Watch out for these three myths that are harmful to a lot of
introverts when it comes to marketing.

Myth #1: Introverts are shy and don't like to be around other
people. True, introverts can also be shy, but not all shy people
are introverts. These are two different phenomena. Shy people
wish they were better at being around other people and want to be
around other people. Introverts who understand themselves are
content to be by themselves. Shy people are the ones who wish
they were invited to the party, wish desperately to be invited to
dance or talk but hold back. Introverts are often not interested
in going to the party to begin with.

The harmfulness of this myth comes about when you think that
because you enjoy being by yourself, you're shy and therefore
socially incompetent, and then you convince yourself that you
shouldn't pursue any form of marketing that involves social
contact. Keep reading to learn more about why that's wrong.

Myth #2 is related to #1: Introverts have poor social skills and
poor relationships. In fact, introverts can be very good at
getting along with people. They may just have a different style
of getting along with people. Instead of using small talk as
all-purpose social grease, they may be better at having quiet,
meaningful conversations. Introverts tend to relate better one
person at a time than to a group of people. They can be very good
salespeople because they tend to listen well and be interested in
getting at what matters instead of more superficial things. They
may have a smaller circle of friends and clients but have more
intense, loyal relationships with people who matter to them.

In business, this myth is damaging to introverts because it may
get them to discount the less obvious social skills they have.
They may therefore put someone in charge of sales and marketing
who seems to have the right personality but doesn't have the
ability to get down to brass tacks and nail the sale. That's
exactly what happened to me in an ill-fated business partnership
early in my career. It took me nearly two years to figure out
that I, the back-room person, was actually much better at
marketing than my front-room partner who could talk up a storm
but not much else.

Myth #3 is that introverts lack leadership ability. They're not
rah-rah kinds of leaders, but they can certainly inspire the
troops and keep followers committed to the right path. Again,
their leadership style may be different. Introverted CEOs include
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Andrea Jung of Avon, Vic Conant of
Nightingale Conant and many others, by one estimate about 40
percent of CEOs.

Yet in an informal survey on the job site TheLadders.com, 65
percent said introversion is an impediment to climbing the
corporate ladder. That's a matter of perception, not reality.
Introverted leaders may not be the life of the company party, but
they may have vision that gets broad buy-in, integrity that earns
respect, smarts that run rings around the competition, discipline
that gets things done and marketing savvy that attracts no end of
customers.

Socrates said it best: Know yourself. Use that knowledge to
pursue success regardless of whether or not other people think
you have the right stuff!

Article Title:
Developing A Facility Response Plan To Comply With the EPA

See TERMS OF REPRINT to the end of the article.

Article Description:
The EPA has been very proactive in requiring businesses,
both large and small, to adhere to standards that prevent
pollution activities through oil and chemical spills. The
Oil Pollution Act is one example of resulting legislation
that has come from Washington, D.C., and it requires
businesses to file a Facility Response Plan (FRP) with the
EPA.

Developing A Facility Response Plan To Comply With the EPA
Copyright (c) 2010 Rathi Niyogi
CriticalTool, Inc.
http://www.criticaltool.com/



The EPA has been very proactive in requiring businesses, both
large and small, to adhere to standards that prevent pollution
activities through oil and chemical spills. Since August 1990, in
response to public outrage over the Exxon Valdez incident, the
Oil Pollution Act has been a law that puts the responsibility of
prevention on industry. This law includes the requirement for
businesses to file a Facility Response Plan (FRP) with the EPA.

The FRP requirement is specifically designed for businesses that
meet certain conditions:

1.The facility has a total oil storage capacity greater than or
equal to 42,000 gallons and transfers oil over water to/from
vessels; or

2.The facility has a total oil storage capacity greater than or
equal to one million gallons AND meets ONE of the following
conditions:

  * Does not have sufficient secondary containment for each
aboveground storage area

  * Is located at a distance such that a discharge from the
facility could cause "injury" to fish, wildlife, and sensitive
environments

  * Is located at a distance such that a discharge from the
facility would shut down a public drinking water intake

  * Has had, within the past five years, a reportable discharge
greater than or equal to 10,000 gallons

The EPA also considers whether a facility could cause substantial
harm to the surrounding environment in the event of a spill or
discharge or oil or chemicals into navigable waters, shorelines,
or other groundwater. There are several test factors to assist in
determining "substantial harm," including storage of tanks, age
of tanks and drums, drum management, oil and chemical transfer
methods, as well as location.

The most efficient way of providing a sound FRP is to demonstrate
ownership and use of proper spill containment equipment. This
equipment can include overpack drums, spill pallets, oil drum
racks and trucks, and spill containment berms.

Your FRP should include your current oil and chemical management
plan to demonstrate worker training on spill prevention, with
emphasis on their understanding of the correct use of the spill
protection equipment within your facility. These things include
storage of drums on drum pallets or spill pallets, use of drum
racks for dispensing oil into safety cans, as well as working
with oil storage tanks within the confines of a spill containment
berm and the use of overpack drums for older drums and
potentially-leaking drums.

Depending on your facility layout and workplan and your state's
FRP requirements, your FRP may not be exactly the same as another
business. You can contact your EPA Regional Administrator to for
more information to assist in the development of your FRP.

How to Tell the Difference Between Anxiety and Normal Worry
Copyright (c) 2010 Dr Jeannette Kavanagh
Calming Words
http://www.calmingwords.com/



Anxiety is a normal feeling people experience when faced with
threat, danger or stress. Feeling anxious can sometimes be a good
thing. Occasional anxiety is part of normal life. However, for
some people anxiety is a constant factor in their lives. When a
person has anxiety problems, it interferes with their ability to
function normally on a daily basis. Anxiety disorder can cause
people to feel intense, long-lasting fear or worry, in addition
to other symptoms.

Anxiety can actually help you by motivating you to prepare for a
big test or by keeping you on your toes in potentially dangerous
situations. It's very important to realise that one should never
be seeking a cure for anxiety, as in the total elimination of
anxiety from your life. You need anxiety to equip you to get out
of the way of real and present danger, to motivate you to do your
best in school, work and sporting events.

Understanding Anxiety

Problems with too-high a level of anxiety involving unrealistic
fear and worry are very common. It is estimated that that they
affect about 16% to 20% of the U.S. population including people
of all ages, races and backgrounds with one exception. Women tend
to be more likely to have problems with anxiety than men. Either
that, or as with all areas of health, they report their issues
more than men.

Anxiety is a set of responses which everyone has when they
perceive a threat to their safety, that is, when they feel
danger. The human body is hardwired to automatically pump
adrenaline into our system when danger confronts us. That
awareness of a danger signals the involuntary nervous system to
send immediate messages throughout the body, to either 'fight'
(take the situation head on) or 'flight' (escape from the
situation) or 'freeze' (as in a kangaroo caught in the
headlights of hunters). This 'fight, flight or freeze' response
is characterised by:

  * Increased heart rate and blood pressure

  * Increased breathing rate

  * A feeling of fear or apprehension

  * Trembling, shaking or a feeling of restlessness

The anxiety response is essential to deal with dangerous or
stressful situations.

However, if this reaction of fear does not subside when the real
and present danger is over, it can become an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety disorder has a significant impact on a person's life.
The person will feel edgey all the time. They react to situations
in a fear-filled way, even when the situation is not a threat or
a danger. They know at an intellectual level, that their
reactions to situations are inappropriate. They know that they
are not really in danger. That awareness often means that people
with high levels of anxiety criticise themselves for feeling
those fears. If you feel fear sometimes amounting to terror, in a
crowded restaurant, or at the Mall, or in a lecture theatre at
College, it makes sense at one level to avoid those situations.
After all, who wants to suffer through mounting feelings of fear?
That's why it's so important to seek help.

While the first couple of episodes of fear can be tolerated, the
way anxiety disorder and panic attacks develop is an
ever-repeating cycle of (1) eg fear and panic felt at a
concert;(2) next time you're going to a concert, you anticipate
that you might feel that panic again (3) just thinking you might
feel it, almost always guarantees that you will. (4) Not
surprisingly, you want to escape from the situation and
eventually, you (5) start avoiding going to concerts. With the
proper therapy, you can learn very quickly and easily how to
react in a different way to situations that now make you have
panic attacks.

Are You An Overly Anxious Parent?

Being a parent can provide everyone with legitimate moments of
worry and even high anxiety. If your child has a high fever,
you'd have to be made of concrete not to be anxious, fearful and
a bit worried. Many first time parents err on the side of caution
with their very young children whose temperature is often due to
something as unthreatening as teething. It's a balancing act. If
you've raced your two year old to the Emergency Room at the
local hospital with a high fever,which immediately dissipates
after one dose of paracetamol or aspirin, no one would
immediately diagnose you as overly anxious.

If from other symptoms you know that that child is cutting her or
his two year old molars and likely to run a fever, then taking
that child to the ER with every fever spike ( before
administering an aspirin and waiting half an hour, to see if the
fever eases) that's perhaps an indicator that you're overly
anxious. So what? With young children, it's better to be sure
than sorry. Right? Yes. And no. Many of you reading this article
will know that the panicky reactions you had to your two year
old's temperature spikes have never really left you.

You worry excessively if your nineteen year old daughter is even
half an hour late. You constantly nag (or try to motivate) your
adult children about their University assignments. Your adult
children keep many things secret from you because they know your
reaction will be an over-the-top show of concern. You spend far
too many hours worrying and fear-filled about your children's
latest partner: none of whom is ever good enough.

It is normal for parents to worry about their children when they
first learn to drive, and it's even more normal to worry when
children don't come home at an expected time. What I'm
referring to here is once again, a matter of degree. When a
parent is actually becoming so distressed about an adult child
being late that s/he is almost vomiting or getting diarrhea, then
we are looking at anxiety which has become dysfunctional. As with
all anxiety, it can be conquered.
