I'm a great fan of article marketing -- and of reading articles. But I'm always amazed how much money most authors leave on the table, because they fail to properly execute the two most vital parts of the operation.These are: The headline and summary paragraphsThe signature box or resource box The reason these are so vital is they are the two important "gateways" you have to move the reader through to achieve the purpose of your article.First, let's be clear about your purpose: the prime purpose, among several, is to attract qualified visitors to your web site.With this in mind, it's obvious you have less chance than the proverbial snowball in hell, if your article headline and teaser copy doesn't stand out among all the other articles on the article bank or web site. The way many article banks display their articles, the headline is all you have to "sell" your article. So it's no exaggeration to say you have ten seconds in which to live or die!So it will pay you handsomely to bring some of the tricks of copy writing -- which is really psychology in words -- to your articles.The reason is this: your headline is just as crucial as the headline on any sales letter -- generally agreed to be 80% of the whole. The purpose is the same, because you are also selling a product: your article. So your efforts must be equally strenuous. A good tip -- which us copy writers always follow -- is to write as many headlines as you can think of. And then leave them for a day or so, sleep on it and then choose, or further modify, the best one. It really is that important!The summary copy is almost as important, because, when this is also
Utility fuel managers compete with a few handfuls of fuel brokers for the best price break. Utilities complain about the unwelcome speculators who’ve entered the market. and utility spokesman predict a long-term price about one-half of the US$122/pound price indicator announced in Nuclear Market Review this past Friday (another consulting service chose $125/pound for their ‘price indicator’). Some uranium miners forecast a price racing past $200/pound. Who is gaming whom? Or is this all part of the negotiations process between producers and end-users?
Meanwhile, more immediate price transparency seems to appear at Mestena’s regular spot uranium price auctions than in the much larger, but secretive uranium marketplace. Yet, the amount this private uranium producer has sold is far less than one percent of the uranium consumed in 2006. The present spread between spot and long-term uranium pricing has raised eyebrows and led some to question the credibility of the spot price.
Mestena’s next auction reportedly takes place on May 30th, or at least that’s when offers to buy the U3O8 are due. This time Mestena will have a bit of competition. An unnamed hedge fund has contacted potential buyers to solicit offers for 200 thousand pounds U3O8 and 100 metric tons U as UF6 – two days after Mestena opens the magic envelopes. As more material is offered to the market, perhaps the spot and long-term price will narrow to a more logical spread. Perhaps, instead, this spread will close when utilities and investors reach a consensus on Cameco Corp’s Cigar Lake project, Rio Tinto’s Namibian expansion and resolution of the March flooding in northern Australia, and a firm date on BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam expansion.

You've bought all your cleaning supplies and equipment, told everyone you know that you have started a cleaning business and now you are ready to start bidding on jobs and getting down to work. So your next step is to meet with potential clients and put together a bid for their cleaning services. But how do you know what to charge for cleaning your potential client's building?Start off by remembering that you are in business to make a profit and earn a living. Sometimes the tendency is to price our services low in order to get our foot in the door. Pricing your services too low may mean you will end up working for very little per hour. And more importantly, will have little left over to reinvest in the growth of your company. There are cleaning companies that charge more than others and have all the work they can handle and there are companies that have lower fees yet are struggling to find work! Don't sell yourself short or you will not be able to earn a living off your cleaning business.The rates for commercial cleaning vary widely depending upon the area you live. Hourly rates are anywhere from $15 to $40 per hour depending on the type of services that you provide, whether or not you're doing the work yourself, and your company's overhead and expenses. Monthly square footage rates could run anywhere from $.05 to $.20 per square foot depending on the type of building you are cleaning and the frequency of cleaning. You'll be able to bid a higher square footage price for medical facilities versus office buildings due to more specialized cleaning needs. You'll likely bid a lower square footage price for large buildings versus small buildings. For example, you may bid $.08 per square foot for a 50,000 square foot building versu

The Internet is a race – a race to see who can acquire the most content on their website or blog in the shortest period of time. Whether it’s text, images, data or video; the sites who obtain the most content are the ones who will generate the most traffic and ultimately sell for millions of dollars to larger corporation like Yahoo, Google, Fox or Microsoft.Let’s look at MySpace, which sold to Fox a few months ago for 580 million and YouTube, which recently sold to Google for $1.65 billion. How was it possible that these sites were so valuable and sold for that much money? Well, it comes down to many factors but one of the primary reasons is the breadth of content that both of these sites contain. MySpace, an online social networking community, has generated well over 120 million members and YouTube has already grown to serve more than 100 million video views per day and receiving more than 65,000 new video uploads daily – this is why!Looking at what these two sites have done in such a short period of time is simply amazing and it’s going to be very difficult for any of us to produce the same results in 20 years that both MySpace and YouTube have done in only a few short ones. Now don’t get discouraged because there are still many websites and blogs that are popular, receiving great exposure and valued at well over a million dollars.As I state in many of my articles, it all comes down to content. These larger companies look for websites or blogs that will generate more exposure for their company. The more content you have on your website or blog the more traffic you’re going to receive and the more your website or blog is going to be desired and valued.

The kind of internet marketing which has a specific target audience is known as direct email marketing. In this kind of email marketing is directed towards specific individuals. It is not an open ended marketing tool like the bill board or television advertisements. While it's a very effective means of reaching out and popularising the products you are selling, there are some negative sides to it as well.The most important advantage of direct email marketing is that you can easily assess your success rate. That is to say, if you send emails to one hundred people with promotional material and forty five people respond, you can immediately see how successful or unsuccessful your email campaign was. In case of a hoarding or advertisement on the television, on the other hand, it is much more difficult to accurately find out the success rate. At any rate, it takes a longer period of time. Therefore, direct email marketing is also a good way to evaluate your marketing techniques.Direct mail marketing can also be risky. It must be remembered that spamming is to be avoided at all costs. Spam will not be appreciated by most of your potential customers, and putting them off will obviously backfire. Spam is very common on the internet and there are several laws in various countries making marketing through spamming illegal.Well, so it boils down to the most important question of all: is using such a marketing technique worth it after all? We have given you the pros and the cons. Now It is upto you to decide whether you will use it or not.

First of all, effective negotiation skills will NEVER make up for poor selling skills or attitudes. With that as a given, let’s look at some of the negotiation problems common to many salespeople today. Let me give you four basic negotiation concession concepts/premises, and then a little more detail on them.1. Don’t advertise your willingness to make a concession before you are asked.Many salespeople offer to discount a price, give better terms, etc. before they are asked by the prospect or client to do so. For example: does your price sheet say something like ‘suggested price’? You just advertised your willingness to make a concession before you were asked.2. Use the set-aside technique when necessary.Often prospects bring up an issue in a negotiation at an inopportune time. The set-aside defers this until a later time when it might be more favorable to discuss it. For example, the prospect asks the price before you have had a chance to build perceived value. The set-aside says something like, “That’s a valid concern (question – whatever). Can we come back to that in a few minutes?”3. When asked to make a concession, ask for a bigger one in return.You want to avoid playing ‘concession’ ping-pong. The prospect asks for one you give in, in varying degrees and then he asks for another one and on and on and on. When a prospect asks you to make one, say something like, “I can give you a better price, but I’ll need a bigger deposit than is customary.”4. 80% of the concessions made are made in the last 20% of the negotiation time.It’s called time pressure. The person under the most time pressure will tend to give away the most concessions. So, don’t let the prospect/client create th

The widely heralded ‘fiat uranium’ trading at the highly publicized NYMEX ring moves forward, but the exchange is still searching for participants, and it is about as entertaining as watching grass grow. In lower Manhattan, this commodity exchange was not only the first commodity forum to offer trading on platinum more than 40 years ago, but in early May began offering ‘paper’ uranium trading. The public can play the paper chase, but not for the real McCoy – U3O8.
In mid-town Manhattan, near Grand Central Station, a lesser known ‘commodity exchange,’ run by New York Nuclear, has real-time screen trading every Wednesday morning between 7:30 A.M. and 9:30 A.M. And the screen trading is for the real thing – the physical delivery of U3O8. The processed uranium is offered for delivery within a 30-day period at a licensed uranium conversion facility. Real product trading in real-time by real professionals, who mine uranium, consume uranium or act as a broker for either side.
No, the public is not invited to this clubby function. One must be a certified market participant to bid for or sell U3O8 through New York Nuclear’s Uranium Online. While NYMEX paper trading is open to amateurs and professional traders, Uranium Online only permits recognized persons to bid or offer uranium for sale.
“We have all categories as players,” New York Nuclear’s Joe McCourt told StockInterview.com. Those who have signed up to trade physical uranium on his online screen system include uranium producers, hedge funds, fuel brokers and utility fuel managers. “These are the major players in the physical uranium market,” McCourt added.
Our chat with Joe McCourt was quite enlightening. Later in an email exchange with Uranium One chief executive Neal Froneman, we were told Joe is a ‘heck of a nice guy.’ Others in the industry echoed his sentiments.
In a few words, Joe explained why uranium price transparency is presently out o
