		<description><![CDATA[Making money online has gotten a terrible image due to the actions of some internet marketers; however, providing great products &#038; service and raising the standards of conduct can help.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>For every person who has attempted to make money online, there is a story, or two, of disappointment regarding the customer&#8217;s expectation either with the marketer&#8217;s product, or with their promises.  The truth of the matter is that for a while now, some internet marketers have over- promised what their products can do and under-delivered on their promised services.  This has led to  a perception that all online marketers are scammers.  That just isn&#8217;t true; there are many ethical marketers out there, but you have to really be willing to look for them.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>So, how does someone who has a great product go about letting it be known that they have a great product and get people to buy without all of that ugly over the top hypey advertising.  How does an honest marketer revolt and let others see what they are doing online to make money in an honest and ethical way?  They do it by being genuine&#8230;they do it by being real; by creating great products your customers can use, and raising the standards of their own conduct and raising the standards of what their potential customers can expect.<span id="more-3006"></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>This is what the <a title="Real Guys" href="http://bitly.com/fpVI5G" target="_blank">Real Guys</a> are doing&#8230;but their product is only available for the next few days until March 31, 2011.  Watch this and see if there isn&#8217;t a part of this message about what they are trying to do with their product and the way that they are getting the word out about how they do business.  They have a great product that teaches targeted traffic methods and list building and includes a private label rights aspect as well. </strong></p>
<p><strong>This video series helps teach people who are looking to make money online at home the best way to do it&#8230;and it includes a product that they themselves can market.  It is a product that provides great content and allows them to market online with every confidence that they are providing real value to their customers. They have over-delivered a quality product with which everyday real people can make money in an honest and ethical way.  The people behind the Real Guys are well known internet marketers who themselves have a strong and loyal group of customers who have great things to say about how each of them conducts their online businesses.  Check it out the program here:  <a title="Real Guys" href="http://bitly.com/fpVI5G" target="_blank">Real Guys</a></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Just so you know&#8230;this article includes an affiliate link&#8230;and should you purchase anything from the Real Guys I would be compensated.  However, that doesn&#8217;t mean that this isn&#8217;t a great product&#8230;because it is a great product&#8230;but it is only available for a few more days.</span><br />

		<description><![CDATA[Video cameras are everywhere &#038; understanding their manuals isn't for everyone,but a program has been created to simplify video editing with training tutorials.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>It is no secret that video is such an important part of our everyday lives these days.  People in their personal lives are shooting videos with their camera phones, their flip cameras and their digital recorders of every size and description.  Life is flying by and no-one wants to miss a minute of it.  With families spread out over the country&#8230;grandmas &amp; grandpas, aunts and uncles, mothers and fathers&#8230;and friends can all be a part of those precious moments.  That doesn&#8217;t even address individuals who use video for business; which increasingly is important to online marketing/advertising and branding. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Businesses who use video to get more online traffic find it to be an effective tool.  Visually connecting with your market is one of the best ways to catch your customers interest.  In fact, your competitors are probably already using video to their benefit.  Therefore, I am sure that you can see the importance of being able to harness the power of video editing.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>In fact, video is used for connecting individuals together for business, family and for entertainment.  So, it is important to know how to, not only capture those moments on video&#8230;but, to be able to know how to edit those videos effectively &amp; professionally; and, to preserve them in formats that are useful to the increasingly technological world that we live in.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Understanding how those cameras work and how to render and upload those videos can appear to be overwhelming.  Reading manuals isn&#8217;t for everyone&#8230;some people learn better from training tutorials and this program called Video Editing Simplified, <a title="VES" href="http://bit.ly/f7yQ82" target="_blank">VES</a>, is done in a wonderful way that breaks down tips, techniques and transitions or special effects into usable videos that actually make it easy to understand.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Each of these 40 training tutorials are from 2 to 14 minutes in length.  They show you what to do with the files and how to edit them to make them interesting and to smoothly showcase your videos in a way that accomplishes your goals whether it be for preserving personal family moments, entertainment, or for business purposes.  Check out the <a title="VES" href="http://bit.ly/f7yQ82" target="_blank">VES</a> program and see if it doesn&#8217;t provide you with the information that you need for editing your digital videos; this program can make you look like a technical genius.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Making money online is one of the biggest niches when it comes to internet marketing searches.  Jeff Wellman, Paul Counts &#038; Eric Holmlund have some great free videos.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Many people are searching the internet trying to discover legitimate ways to make money online.  There are many things that hold people back when it comes to an attempt to pursue a money making adventure online.  For some individuals it is a lack of knowledge.  What should I sell, how do I find customers, how do I get traffic,  what is the most profitable niche online?</strong></p>
<p><strong>These are some of the questions that the guys, behind the program Real Guys Real Money, have attempted to answer with their free videos. The average person getting started in internet marketing, who is looking to do an honest business, is often intimidated by those big name marketing gurus who flaunt their mansions, expensive cars and other material goods.  They may think, that isn&#8217;t my style; I don&#8217;t need all of that&#8230;I just want to provide for my family.<span id="more-2974"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> Many people who consider starting an online business just want to add to their income; or, possibly replace their day job with a career from their online money making pursuits.  Some of their claims of the big internet marketing gurus are so sensational that it seems almost unbelievable. </strong></p>
<p><strong> Does everyone who tries to make money online have to conduct themselves in the same way, with sensational headlines &amp; promises of great financial rewards, to be able to compete in the business?  Can you have traditional values with your internet business and still make money?  Someone considering an online business may even wonder if it&#8217;s even possible for someone new to the market, a little guy, to make a steady stream of money online.  Check out their videos and see what you think.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you are one of those people interested in making money online&#8230;you would be wise to listen in to Paul Counts, Jeff Wellman and Eric Holmlund as they give you some great content in these teaching videos.  You don&#8217;t have to sign up or opt in to hear &amp; see the free videos.  This is some great info&#8230;it isn&#8217;t merely filler videos full of fluff and stuff. </strong></p>
<p><strong>It costs you nothing to click here <a title="Make Money Online Niche" href="http://bitly.com/fpVI5G" target="_blank">Make Money Online Niche</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">*Just so you know&#8230;if you do purchase a product through them in the future&#8230;i may be compensated for referring you.  But remember&#8230;there is no cost to watching the FREE videos! Not only that, but you don&#8217;t even have to opt in to view the videos!  Enjoy and thanks for visiting.</span><br />

		<description><![CDATA[Do churches have an obligation to avoid advertising activities/businesses that conflict with traditional spiritual values? Should they be selling ads on their online sites that are contrary to religious teachings?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I am going to step into some doggy do do here&#8230;but today on my Twitter stream I had someone wanting me to follow them.  It was a pastor from a big church and he had a very large following.  I did what I always do and check their profile and looked at their Twitter stream.  What I saw not only saddened me but it made me mad.  I want to challenge my readers here to think about their church and do a little comparison challenge.   Churches are you sold out for God&#8230;or just sold out?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Within the first few tweets on their page, I saw tweets prompting the reader to &#8220;learn how to play poker&#8221;, to buy a specific insurance, to learn about electronic cigarettes, to team up with a beer company to buy the best T-shirts promoting beer, get a payday loans, promoting certain credit cards&#8230;etc. I understand the need to make money.  I get that churches struggle to raise funds&#8230;but, to me this smacks of leading people into financial slavery, gamboling, destructive health habits, encouraging addictions and gives a stamp of approval to activities that ought not to be encouraged.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> This is a church that is &#8220;sold out&#8221; plain and simple.  If you don&#8217;t get my drift; these are paid ads that this pastor and church are condoning by putting tweets up on their page and trying to make money off of each link.  Understand, this is only my opinion; however, some of these are things that are being promoted are contrary to traditional teachings of the scriptures.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Can I tell you what I didn&#8217;t see on this Pastor&#8217;s Twitter stream?  There was no mention of God,no  Godly things, no tweeting of scripture&#8230;no building up of the spiritual nature of the readers&#8230;no encouragement to seek a relationship with God.  It upsets me&#8230;because I do believe in the power of social media to influence people; because of that, I believe that this pastor and his church are missing the mark.  Not only are they wasting the opportunity to win souls for Christ&#8230;they are in effect&#8230;leading them away from a life that is dedicated to strengthening the readers relationship with salvation and living a life of service for God.</strong></p>
<p><strong>How do you feel when you hear or see such things?  To me it feels like spiritual prostitution.  I would not want to be judged by God for erring in such a hurtful way to the Kingdom of God.  Scripture says that to those that have been given much, much is expected in return.  They have the opportunity to win souls for Christ and they had best be about the Heavenly Father&#8217;s business. It is hard to have respect for Gods values when some teachers, preachers and those in spiritual leadership make it appear as if it is ok to participate in these areas of life that God instructs us to avoid.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you challenge yourself to be authentic to your Christian faith online?  How do you make sure that you aren&#8217;t contrasting what you say you believe with your personal conduct and interactions online?<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />

		<description><![CDATA[Affiliate marketers have discovered sales videos are making them more money than ever when it comes to selling products &#038; services online. Keith Wellman perfected video skinning techniques.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>       Sales videos are all of the rage when it comes to selling products or services online; it has become the number one method of selling online.  Many marketers are intimidated by the idea of using video to sell their wares online, but with a little knowledge and training they can overcome that to earn more this year than ever before.  Keith Wellman has been making a name for himself over the last year or two when it comes to using the sales video to make money online.  This has started a huge trend as others have been watching him and seeing the results.  This technique is no longer a secret as other marketers have been contacting Keith asking for behind the scenes information so that they can emulate his success!</p>
<p>      If you are in business to make money by selling products or services online&#8230;then this is a tool that may be just what you need to add to your income in 2010.  Expensive written sales copy stopped many a beginner entrenpeneur from getting their products or services out there to the masses as they could ill afford to spend thousands of dollars to pay a copywriter.  Sales videos have quickly replaced the need for pricey sales copy; the impact on internet marketing is amazing. </p>
<p>         Sales videos let the customers &#8220;get to know the salesperson&#8221; and make their decision about purchasing the products or services without feeling manipulated by all of the hyped up, over-the-top written sales copy that was the mainstay of marketers in the past.  Customers feel more respected by being spoken to in a real way without all of that manipulation and the sales video results appear to prove that theory of mine.  Since the beginning of time things have been sold and purchased, that is not going to change.  How that process takes place has changed.  I think that the video sales letter improves the relationship between buyers and sellers.</p>
<p>         Keith has been, quietly been behind the scenes, perfecting his techniques and the results are proving that his video skinning formula has really been ramping up the conversion rates.  If you want to know more information so that you too can make more money and get a leg up on your competitors in the affiliate marketing field check out this video: <a href="http://bit.ly/7wQP8j">http://bit.ly/7wQP8j</a> Yes, for full disclosure that is an affiliate link!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Rapid Cash Marketing teaches methods of earning money through internet marketing skills and techniques in a realistic way to add cash to your pockets. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>       This time of year is difficult for many people financially.  It is hard to come up with enough cash to meet all of your needs normally but then you throw in the cost of the holidays as well as the extra money needed to heat your homes during the winter and it can become overwhelming.  Everyday there are people looking to the internet to learn how to add to their incomes.   Job loss and financial uncertainity is frightening when you don&#8217;t know how you will find the cash to pay your bills or feed your family.   For those who have searched seriously for a program or solution to their problem, they have discovered that many of those programs or coaches cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars; if not thousands, that they just don&#8217;t have to spend. </strong></p>
<p><strong>            However, for those that do spend&#8230;.they are quickly overwhelmed when they discover the amount of new skills and knowledge that they must acquire before they can even begin to make lots money&#8230;not to mention the discouragement that sets in when they realize how long it will be before they learn enough to make that huge investment of money back.  It just isn&#8217;t practical to spend thousands and wait 12 months to 2 years to learn enough knowledge and skills to make your money back.  Marketing is a system for selling products or services; and, because it is a system&#8230;that means there are many components.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>          What if you could learn some of the techniques that would bring in enough money to pay an extra bill or two a month?  Would that be a benefit to you?  I am sure that it would.  Rapid Cash doesn&#8217;t promise to make you millions or guarantee that you will be driving a new car in a week&#8230;that is foolishness.  On the other hand, Rapid Cash can add enough cash to your pocket to help take some of the pressure off the average person&#8217;s monthly struggles <strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7">http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7</a> .  <span id="more-2497"></span></strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>       You see, what alot of those big named gurus and their programs promise you is unrealistic when you think about it.  In their sales pages and videos&#8230;they are flaunting their cars, their mansions and piles of money.  Yes it is possible to acquire those things; however, what they often don&#8217;t tell you is that it has taken them years and tons of money to learn how to earn the kind of skills and knowledge needed to make that happen.  It does not happen overnight like that for the average person.  It takes alot of work&#8230;and a whole lot of expert help to get to that level.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>          People are often manipulated by those ads to believe that they can achieve that level of success quickly.  Realistically, learning is a process and everyone has to start somewhere.  I am an affiliate for Rapid Cash Marketing.  <strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7">http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7</a>  </strong> They teach you how to use skills and knowledge to earn extra money while you learn those other things about making money online, learning a proven, in- depth internet marketing system that can lead to a higher level of internet marketing success.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>       There is a team of coaches who are there to teach you how to pick up extra cash to supplement your income with skills that you may already have or can quickly develop.   They are knowledgable in many areas and use these skills themselves to earn money online.    Do you have digital photo experience, interviewing skills, graphic arts skills, writing skills, direct marketing skills, writing sales letters, video skills,  voice over abilities, editing skills, etc?  The list goes on&#8230;but, if you could learn how to use those skills in an effective way to earn enough money to take the edge off of your present financial situation it would be a blessing right?  </strong></p>
<p><strong>          If you are willing to learn and willing to take action towards achieving some financial success online then check out this link:  <strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7">http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7</a>   Yes, I will get a financial reward if you were to purchase&#8230;but, if their program improved your finances; then, I think you would thank me anyway!   I think you will see the wisdom in investing a small amount of money that will quickly repay your investment if you put in the effort to do what the successful internet marketers Jeff Wellman, Dixie Brown, and Paul Counts instruct you to do.  </strong></strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Businesses come and go...what's the secret of a long term businesses staying power?  What components are crucial to growing and maintaining a business presence?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I heard about a business in my local town that has been in business for 100 years.  Wow, that is pretty amazing don&#8217;t you think?  I mean&#8230;think about it, how hard is it to please customers each and every day?  You have to have some pretty happy customers to allow you to stay in business for 100 years.  So, what does the present owner of that business claim is the secret to his company&#8217;s staying power?  He says it is the service and the staff.  Hmmm&#8230;interesting concept hey?  Do you own a business; does it have staying power?<span id="more-2424"></span></p>
<p>How many businesses do you know about who have started up only to go out of business in the first year or two?  Often after investing much time, energy and money; they go out in a flame of glory.  It can happen in small business and it can happen in the world of high finance.  It takes alot of know how to start a business, to nurture it and to direct it&#8217;s growth to a place of prominence.  Knowing when to diversify and when to narrow your focus with your sales or service is an important skill to have.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s world we hear about all kinds of strategies to get your business off of the ground, to keep it afloat, to build it up, and take it to the next level.  What if your business doesn&#8217;t have a long legacy like the one I just told you about who have had a 100 year track record and base of customers; how do you stay in business in today&#8217;s economy?</p>
<p>Well, I think you can try many of the new strategies that other experts are recommending.  If your business is a brick and mortar business&#8230;you can benefit from adding an online presence to harness the power of the web.  You can get creative with your advertising&#8230;but beware, many of your customers are going to be looking to your online presence&#8230;and, if you educate yourself, it doesn&#8217;t have to cost you an arm and a leg.  You can add bells and whistles to your business and the latest and greatest attention grabbing techniques&#8230;.but; if you are wise you will listen to the wisdom of that business owner I just told you about.</p>
<p>You see, he realizes that no matter what you do to draw in your customers&#8230;if you do not provide a commitment to customer service&#8230;you are not going to keep their business if they do happen to purchase your product or services.  You need to hire a staff that cares as much as you do about making the customer feel satisfied not only with what you are providing them&#8230;but, also with their choice of your company as the provider of that product or service.  Once you realize the importance of the &#8220;keeping the customer happy and satisfied&#8221; you will have begun to build the kind of business that future generations will celebrate as having had a legacy of staying power!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people are concerned that Twitter is going to destroy blogging.  Is it possible? How are Twitter and blogging like shorthand or a good novel; or, an all you can eat buffet or a fast food restaurant?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>       I read an intriquing statement on Twitter today&#8230;it kind of blew me away.  Actually, it wasn&#8217;t a statement it was more of a question; it said, Is Twitter destroying blogging?  Wow, that was kind of a loaded question for me.  I love Twitter and I love blogging&#8230;can&#8217;t have my two digital &#8220;friends&#8221; duking it out, ya know what I mean?</p>
<p>       I love Twitter because it is immediate.  It is the thought process and relationship equivillant of instant gratification.  That is pretty addictive for most people.  On the other hand, blogging is the process by which a thought, a statement or an idea is presented in a deep and meaningful way.   It is the vehicle through which a post can be fleshed out.</p>
<p>         I like to think of it this way, Twitter is verbal shorthand.  It is clear, concise, direct and immediate.  Who doesn&#8217;t love that when time is short and people want to connect to others and not feel isolated in the midst of their day.  Blogging is more like a novel or  a streaming consciousness.  It is a full on conversational connection; if comments are encouraged, embraced and followed up on.</p>
<p>Or for those of you who are more visual; think on this:</p>
<p>        Twitter is like fast food and blogging is more like an all you can eat buffet.  Both are tasty, both meet the need and both have their fans.  But, when you combine them&#8230;you get a fullness of good food, tastiness, and service.  Both have their place and serve their purpose. </p>
<p>         Twitter doesn&#8217;t have to replace blogging just because time is short and people have limited attention spans.  After all, there will be down time eventually for longer reads if they are temporarily short on time.  Blogging (or reading blogs) isn&#8217;t always possible because of demands on a person&#8217;s time.  However, Twitter can be a blogger&#8217;s best friend by simply being an immediate word of mouth referral (or an advertising)&#8230;an introduction of sorts.  It is like being invited to a party where you know no-one.  Then, the host of the party (Twitter) introduces you to people who share the same interests as you, have connections that will bless you; and maybe, just maybe, you will discover that your blog and some of Twitter&#8217;s referrals have mutual friends that you both know and love.  That also works in reverse&#8230;your Twitter stream can be enriched by the readers of your blog.  Don&#8217;t you just love it???</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When trying to attract business customers with free offers...give something of value...not some empty, worthless "freebie". Word of mouth is the best advertising.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>         You know in the old days, free stuff was something that people were thrilled to get.  Of course, in business, everyone understood that gimmicks like buy your meal here and get a free piece of cake on your birthday&#8230;was in fact just a way to get your business.  In fact, I remember when&#8230;kids got suckers in the drive thru of my bank and if you didn&#8217;t have kids, but had a dog in the car&#8230;they got free puppy treats!  Now who could turn down such nice freebies.  Were they worth millions no&#8230;but, on a day when the kids were crabby or the puppy was agitated in the vehicle&#8230;those little freebies went a long way towards keeping everyone happy.  Those freebie were worth something to the customer.</p>
<p>         These days, at least online, free is used as a lure&#8230;but, that free item may not have any value to it; in fact, it may be worthless to the customer.  Some online marketers get the latest PLR product or some other item that is passed around by others and use it as a give away without thoroughly checking out it&#8217;s value.  It often leaves the taste of sour milk in the eyes of the receiver.   Whatever is given should be something that is of an extra benefit to them.</p>
<p>           If you are going to &#8220;give&#8221; something away as a freebie&#8230;make sure it is something that they will not only want, but something that they may be excited about using or having; because, by lessoning the value of the free item, you are devaluing the whole idea of a &#8220;freebie&#8221; for your customers or clients&#8230;believe me they notice.  If you are wanting them and their loyalty as a customer&#8230;treat them right; give them something that is worth having!  You want to give the impression of being a &#8220;big spender&#8221; who is generous with those who do business with them; and then follow through with what you promise.  Remember, word of mouth is the best advertising.</p>
