Member You - Susie Simplifies Her Life And Regains Control Over Her Finances
A one-page website is better than a hundred page website if it makes more money! It’s not a matter of numbers, it’s a matter of effectiveness. You have to make your site effective, and the way to achieve that is to provide every single page with a purpose. That purpose should be to make your visitor do something, even if it just to read and move on to the next page you want to lead them to. Ultimately, they should be led to purchase something.If you have a web page containing a form and perhaps a couple of ‘Click Here’ buttons, you will not get much response if you open the door and just show them to your visitors. Tell them what to do. Tell them to fill in the form to receive the special offer you have described. Tell them to click on that button if they want to buy your product and get all the offers they can download immediately they do so. Tell them they have limited time to do it.Don’t just provide the button. Call them to action. Tell them to ‘click on this button’, then present the button. There is then no doubt about what they must do.Tell them to ‘Provide your first name and email address on this form’, and then ‘They will be used only to send you information and special offers’, and then, ‘So fill in this form now!’That is one example of a call to action. For another example of a call to action read Part III.

Here are some fundraising event tips on raising more money when you do an event. The two keys are attracting a big crowd and providing multiple ways for them to support your group.Getting publicityMedia coverage is essential to drawing a big crowd. Step one is putting together a press release describing your event with a newsworthy angle. Newspapers, radio and television stations are all looking for stories of interest to their readers, listeners, or viewers.Follow the standard who, what, when, where, why, and how press release format, but focus your summary paragraph on the most compelling storyline behind your event.That storyline might be the good work your charity does for a specific cause because human interest stories are always popular. Or, it might be the local celebrities that are attending or the live entertainment that is scheduled because those people are newsworthy in themselves.Other news angles might be the fun aspect of the event, an unusual theme or setting, a grand prize drawing from a raffle, or an auction item which is newsworthy in it's own right.Press release tipsStep two in getting publicity involves distributing your press release and accompanying photographs, preferably pictures focused on the newsworthy aspect of your event, to the media contacts in your market.It's not enough to just send out the press release. Make follow-up phone calls to important outlets such as television stations and major newspapers.Have a purpose behind the call. Offer interviews with key figures from your organization or event. With a television station, offer a strategic camera angle f
Sipping on a cappuccino from a bowl shaped cup at my usual coffee shop I read the newspaper, updated my schedule on the cell phone, and stirred my coffee amidst a cacophony of giggles. "What now?" I mumbled.
I should have known my friend Susie, who runs her own business fixing up houses prior them going to the market, would be the one giggling and tapping me on the shoulder. In months prior was always on the late side, but the past couple of weeks she'd been meeting me right on time. This meeting proved to be no exception. Looking at my watch in fact, Susie was ten minutes early. I told her that and she chided me, "Now Bob you make things so complicated. But don't feel bad. I was the same way and so are half my clients."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's society. Everyone is doing so much these days. Not only are my clients asking me to fix their homes, but some are asking me to fix their lives. I'm not a miracle worker. What I'm noticing is most folks want to simplify their life like me. They want to get back to basics and prioritize. I mean look at you, you're a perfect example, Mr. Has To Have The Latest Gadget Himself."
I defensively said, "Not so, that's Ronnie. You got us confused."
"Sure Bob. Your friend starts it and you follow. It's the classic keeping up with the Jones which gets you in debt and too stressed."
"But I like keeping current. Besides technological things aren't built for the long haul, most manufacturers expect a year of use and that's it.
Fitting is one of the important criteria for consumers in their buying decision. Every garment manufacturer have target segment with certain demographic characteristics, defining consumer profile. For getting the best fit and size dimensions, manufacturer spends big chunks of money. Best range of sizing can be a key success factor for manufacturers. To implement this many companies are using advanced technologies and strategies to device sizing systems and sizing categories.Following are the issues central to the sizing problem:Collecting data on age, body structure and ethnicity: Data can be colleted by sample survey method that can represent the population as a whole. Selection of sample is very crucial as these are bases to arrive at conclusions. Various statistical tools can help in getting range and variation of sizes found in people. Now-a-days companies are better equipped with technologies such as automated measurement and 3D body scanning. These tools facilitate more effective and affordable data collection for garment manufacturing companies.Demographic Data: Data such as age, income, education, lifestyle and socio-economic status are also important factors affecting sizing, but unfortunately very few manufacturers work on such data.Idea about fittings: Patternmakers, graders, designers and customers themselves- all have different perceptions about the best fit. Designer has his idea about match between size of outfit and body dimension that will give the perfect look. Patternmakers seek to maintain this look over a range of bodies. Customers have their personal preferences and perceptions about which size gives

There is a firestorm of negative press regarding LookSmart's recent marketing stumbles via numerous discussion groups, including two of the oldest and most influential, I-Search and I-Advertising Digests. Most of the critiques center on LookSmart's inability to develop viable programs for SMB/SME ("small to medium business or enterprise"), the difficulty in managing their new pay per click "Small Business Listings" advertising program, and their overall lack of customer service responsiveness.Many of us in the agency/marketing services world relied upon LookSmart's directory in the early days; especially as an offset to Yahoo's "my way or the highway" attitude when they became the 200 pound gorilla in the marketplace So, it's sad to say, but LookSmart appears to be morphing to just another portal with little marketing awareness of how to work effectively with the tens of millions of SMB companies that have rapidly embraced a web-centric business model. Their overall terms of services are geared for big companies and their SMB programs appear to be an afterthought at best!One of the core issues that frustrates many small businesses is the difficulty in getting a listing that actually describes their company, products, and/or services accurately - to add insult to injury, you have to pay in some cases twice to have your listing upgraded. Apparently, LookSmart's editorial staff can't keep up with the demand, or is so pressured to maintain some internal quota their descriptions suffer accordingly.LookSmart's new Small Business Listings program is simply not "small business friendly." It is a complex program with lots of important det

Well here is some good news; in no other human endeavor does the over achiever have more of an advantage than in entrepreneurial pursuits. The over achiever who is willing to press on and remain committed and dedicated to persevere in their mission will indeed excel past their peers and fly over the nay sayer who proclaimed their mission impossible.Over achievers in sports, business, politics, war and academic achievements are often scrutinized and attacked, but in entrepreneurial pursuits they often get a free pass as they grow their companies. A little community service, public relations and publicity and the over achiever can launch an entrepreneurial business into orbit. How might I know this? Well, as an over achiever, I have started many an entrepreneurial company and having done so, well I have some interesting insights to share with you, hence the title of this book.If you are an over achiever you will be amazed how easy it is to take your high-energy and stick-to-it-ness and apply it to your business. Many over achievers burn out working in corporations because they end up doing all the work without the rewards of more money while others take credit for all they do and whereas this is quite typical, this does not happen in fast moving entrepreneurial companies or a company that you start yourself. In an entrepreneurial company you will receive your just rewards or fall on your butt if you fail. For most folks this might be scary but for you it is a challenge.I certainly appreciate you reading this article hop

"But I like keeping current. Besides technological things aren't built for the long haul, most manufacturers expect a year of use and that's it. My purchases make economic sense."
"Bob, I'm not saying to forego buying a computer or the latest cell phone. I just got a new cell phone last week and a new computer a couple of months ago. These were necessary business expenses. My main point is it's time to simplify you life. Take a hard look at your finances and spend time rediscovering yourself. It's about eliminating possessions and social activities you've been attending simply out of a sense of obligation when the enjoyment's long passed. It's also about letting go of tasks which have lost their meaning or purpose."
"Susie, I'm not about to go live in some cabin in the middle of nowhere."
"Bob, for most people it's not about dropping out of society and moving to the woods. It's about regaining control over one's life. In the process you'll discover the activities, people, careers, and activities, which mean something to you. As you get into this new way of being you'll let go of the outer definition of self and rediscover your own individuality."
"Wow, Susie. It sounds you swallowed up some self- help book."
"You know me too well. I'm a big fan of the book, Keeping Your Life Simple by Karen Levine. One of the first places I wanted to
