Blog Update

Sorry guys I made a mistake, I was experimenting with a new service and I misunderstood what I was doing and blogger's policies. As a result my blog is subject to deletion. I am requesting that this will be changed, and I have made adjustments to ensure that this blog is not automated, I will instead be saving all these relevent articles as drafts, so that way from now on I can hand select the ones that I think you will find useful, and I will also generally comment on them to give you my opinion of why so that it is unique content, and provides a unique perspective. In addition, I will make an effort to provide my own unique posts as much or more often then you receive other articles. There is however lots of useful information already so in an effort to not reinvent the wheel, I will be selecting some tidbits from relevent articles as many people can explain some things better than I can.

I hope that this blog is not deleted, and I apologize to my readers for my carelessness.

Tips for Trading Ascending Triangles Short

By Jeff Cartridge

The ascending triangle chart pattern is a very well known pattern that has been used by many successful traders over the years on the long side, but is not always traded short. An ascending triangle is formed when the price action is contained within two lines. The top line is close to horizontal while the bottom line slopes up towards the top line.

Ascending Triangles Can Be Traded Short

Most ascending triangles would be expected to break up and most of the time this is true, but 36% break out to the downside making it possible to trade on the short side. Just 44% of these breakouts are profitable and on average the profit per trade is only 0.31% over a period of 9 days. The ascending triangle is not one of the best chart patterns when it breaks to the downside, but applying some filters can make this pattern more attractive to trade.

Refine Your Entries

Short breakouts from ascending triangles work better in falling markets which is clear from the results that were achieved in 2000, 2002 and 2008. The best short trades occur at market turning points. The market and the stock should be in an up trend or consolidating, with the sector consolidating or falling for the best results when trading ascending triangles short.

A breakout from an ascending triangle is best if it occurs later in the pattern, in fact all the way to the point of the pattern is good, but not near the start. The best trades occur when a down side break occurs after the stock bounces off the lower boundary and drops back before hitting the upper boundary.

If volume supports an ascending triangle breakout then the profitability of the trades improves. For volume to support the breakout, volume when the stock is going down should be greater than volume when the stock is going up.

Short Trading Ascending Triangles Can Be Profitable

Incorporating these simple changes when selecting ascending triangles to trade short, dramatically improves the results. With an average return per trade of 1.07% in 10 days and a hit rate of 52% it is possible for ascending triangles to be traded short successfully.

Note: Statistics for this article have been provided by Patterns Trader after analyzing over 60,000 chart patterns on the Australian market from 2000 - 2008.

Customized Signs Are The Way To Go

By Sam Peterson

With how fast our society moves these days, businesses can really benefit from a sign to catch the attention of their potential customers flying by. Custom signs have proven to be one of the most effective ways of catching this attention. Custom signs can literally take the form of anything you can think up and put to paper.

Having a business in a strip mall can also pose a signage issue. Since every other shop will be having the same issue, you will be wise to attempt to stand out - but in a good way, of course! Strip malls tend to be located off the busy streets and can also be angled in a way that is difficult to see from a car as you go by. Get yourself a sign that catches the eye, but is not a turn off for your potential customers.

Custom signs are a great way to get customers in your place of business. The bolder, the more creative, the better! Many people won't even give your business a chance if they think your sign looks tacky or if it isn't visible. If it isn't visible from the street, customers could miss your business and go elsewhere. If your sign is unique customers will be more likely to remember your business and tell their friends about you.

A more elegant sign can also play a huge role in not only catching people's attention, but also their respect. Made from solid acrylic, these signs can very closely resemble granite, giving them a very elegant look. They even come in a variety of colors such as cobalt blue, maroon, white, black, and jade green. If you're looking for a change from the traditional florescent sign, these are a great alternative.

The sign that you use for your business can really give your customers their first impression as they approach your office doors. With custom signs, you have the ability to play a big role in what that first impression is. Ordering a sign from a custom sign company (rather than just a regular sign company) can also enable you to have the personal touch of having your very own company logo on the sign.

You can also create a sign for something other than a business. Many people will create signs that are against things like soliciting or littering. These signs are less tacky than your conventional "do not" signs. Customized signs are really a great alternative.

The industry of custom signs is growing larger every year, so it will be beneficial for your to do your research before purchasing. It may be a good idea to ask around as well. Maybe you've seen a sign on a building that you loved. Don't be afraid to ask them where they got it. Doing the footwork before the final decision can certainly save a lot of time and money.

So, whether you need a sign for "no trespassing" or a sign that has your business logo, custom signs are sure to give you the options you need to get the desired outcome.

Investor Visas; How to be Eligible

By Sam McDougall Turner

Relocation to the United States of America can be a very difficult process. However there are several ways that you can vastly improve your chances of being granted a visa. One of the most common of these is to opt for an investor visa. There are two basis types, temporary and permanent.

The temporary investor visa is called the E-2.

The E-2 visa is popularly known as the Temporary Green Card. The reason for this is that there is no upper limit to the visa term and therefore extensions to your stay and visa renewals can be granted on a limitless number of occasions, provided that the qualifying investment is still in existence and all other conditions for the E-2 visa are still being satisfied.

This visa is for foreign people who have made investments in a US business or businesses to move to the US in order to oversee and direct the businesses that they have invested in.

You may be eligible for this visa if you are the investor, or if you are an executive, manager or essential employee of the foreign company that made the investment and you and the major shareholders of the company are the nationals of a country that has an ongoing Treaty of Trade, Friendship and Commerce with the United States.

Executives and other essential employees must be from the same country as the corporation to be eligible for the E-2 visa. You will have to show that you are in the process of making an investment or that in investment has already been made.

The E-2 visa may be suitable for those who wish to invest a significant sum of money in order to either purchase an existing business or to set up a new business. The E-2 visa is not suitable for silent investors as the investor is required to play an active role in the management and direction of the investment enterprise.

Because of the unique complexities of investing in a U.S. business, it is highly advisable to seek competent legal advice on the types of investment that may qualify for an E2. After receiving such advice, the next step is likely to be to contact a reputable business broker that has an awareness of the requisite criteria for making a qualifying E-2 investment.

A good Internet marketing plan should consist of educating the network marketer on HOW to properly build their own business online using techniques like blogging, ppc, Facebook/myspace, twitter, and many others. Of course to No fault of Financial Destination Inc to NOT teach this because when there are so many distributors wildly promoting; there is bound to be a trouble waiting to happen when those new to the business start breaking rules they are unaware of.

So to protect their business from new reps or those with low business values, FDi has no choice but to NOT teach these types of marketing techniques.

This is where a Financial Destination Inc rep savvy enough to understand the power of the Internet plays a hand. Those with the foresight to educate themselves on correctly advertising their home business online will have an audience that is essentially thousands more than their own personal social circle of influence.

There is the correct way to building a FDi business without chasing distributors.

By Richard Joseph

Many often feel that it is not worth purchasing promotional torches.

However, you those that think of them as useless and an unrequited expensive could not be more wrong.

When you order a promotional torch, you must realize that, although it is not a torch that can be used by a plumber or electrician, it is a promotional torch that will be used and shown to family, friends and co workers.

A promotional torch can be designed in any shape, style or color.

Evolution And Growth Of Printing Services

By Vanessa Smith

Print medium even in this age is a very sought after mode of disseminating information to a vast range of people. The printing services industry has seen massive growth over the decades and continues to grow at a steady rate even in the present. Today it can address almost any need of the clients associated with printing and its ancillary requirements.

Large volume printing services through relief printing technology started during the 1400's when the world's very first printing press was invented by Gutenberg. In this style of printing the printed image appears elevated from the background of the material, as it is in a rubber stamp. Relief printing is scarcely in use these days, though there are still some situations where it is used.

Printing techniques have transformed greatly down the years, and these transformations have been brought about by upcoming of latest technologies. Modern printing methods have developed to a great extent, and each method has its own uses. Most clients are in fact bewildered by the plethora of printing options before them.

Of all printing techniques in the market today, offset printing tops the list in popularity. In this method, the image is transmitted onto paper from a metal plate on which the matter is first printed by the use of small amount of ink. This method is best for mass printing, as it is both quicker and cheaper than other techniques in the market.

Other printing methods that have come up with advancements in technology are electrostatic printing, which resembles photocopying, and thermal printing, which follows a procedure of selective heating of coated thermal paper.

However, digital printing is the latest technological advancement in this field. As the name tells you, in this method, images are created on a computer, which are then checked for correctness and are then printed. This method is flawless and quick, but it is appropriate only for a limited number of prints. The possibility of customized printing with this method has given rise to computer form printing, where a fixed format is used to print items like bills and invoices whose contents differ in tune with the different requirements of each print.

The use of the internet in printing has been another huge leap for the industry. There are a lot of companies in the market now, who allow you to place orders and modify prints directly through their websites, which is providing excellent convenience to the clients.

Technological advancements have always brought about major positive changes in printing techniques and the quality of the prints. The good news is that this trend of progress is going to continue in the future as well, bringing favourable advancements to improve performance and lower costs.

Oil Painting Lesson: How to Get Biggest Safety With Wholesale Paintings

By Anne Wang

Our lives are getting very busy, and with that comes very little time to maintain housing projects such as painting. It is much more convenient to hire a painting contractor. By hiring a professional, you will get a higher quality paint job, as opposed to a do-it-yourself project. Your next step is to find the perfect painting contractor. It can be very tricky finding a professional whom you can trust to get the job done correctly.

The first place to start looking is within your circle of friends or your family. They can help give you ideas of who the best painting contractors are and who they have heard is the most reliable. Your co-workers might also have suggestions about professional painters. Keep in mind that each person has their own idea of quality, and you should examine the work done on their house so that you can determine if it is the quality that you want.

The customer satisfaction is very important when choosing a professional through references. While their quality of work is important, the way that they treat their customers is also important. The fact that you are hiring a person to do the job proves that you want the experience to be as stress free as possible. In return, you want to pick a professional who is pleasant to work with, as well as courteous to all of your questions or preferences. When inquiring with your friends or family about the professional painter that they used, you should also ask if the contractor arrived on time each morning.

If your friends, co-workers, or family have no recommendations then there are other options. Try inquiring with a person at your local paint store; this does not include a home improvement center. Many professional painters will purchase their supplies from a local paint store because of the valuable prices. The person at the paint store can let you know the type of paint that the professional usually chooses, and if it is of the highest quality.

The Better Business Bureau is another place that you can find a professional painter. Contractors who are reliable and responsible will join the Better Business Bureau. Search for painters who have had no judgments made against them or bad comments. You can call your local office or visit the website. The Better Business Bureau keeps all records on file for 3 years.

After you have a list of prospective painting contractors, your next step should be to call each one. Most importantly, ask about a paint warranty. Three years is usually acceptable for an expiration of a paint warranty. After you make arrangements with the painter, make sure that you get everything in writing. Try to narrow all of your choices down to three painters. Do not be afraid to ask a lot of questions. Make an appointment and examine how courteous they are with your questions and if they are very professional.

Once you have chosen a painter, ask for a written proposal of what will be done during the job and what products the painter will be using. This should include the amount charged for the surface preparation, the priming, what type of primer will be used, the caulking, and the brand of paint that is being used. A professional painter will also have a description of the paint manufacturers product line.

The proposal should also list how many coats of paint will be applied in order to finish the job. Go with your gut instinct about which professional painter to choose. The only way to truly tell if the person is reliable is to have a face-to-face meeting before committing to any project, and never pay for the entire job up front.

Suggestively Upsell Your Products

By Amy Anderson

Ways to Upsell Your Products.

If you are at all looking for a way to augment your product sales by as much as possibly even 40%, then you must practice some of the suggestive sales that are add-on sales in your own direct sales business.

What do I mean by suggestive selling?

Suggestive selling is nothing more than appealing to a customer to add on an extra product accessory to his product. After that you have got the customers order either in person or through the phone.

The item that you sell should coincide with something that the customer orders from you.

Take for example: let us say that you sell some scrapbooks and now your customer orders some of the 12x12 scrapbooks and also some of the scrap booking papers also from you.

In order to upsell some other product to your customer along with those products, you should say something like, Jincy, would you not like to also put in an order for paper glue? We do have some glue dots and also some double up stick tape on sale for $5.00?"

2 things that you have to remember:

- The products must be for less than 10 dollars that you are trying to sell the customer.

- The products should have a little to do with that of which they are ordering and that will match the products that they have ordered.

One of the suggested ways to do suggestive selling is by practicing at home in front of the mirror. So when you get into the practice of suggestive selling, you will be able to sell more and more products through upselling. So do practice suggestive selling to increase your upselling and thus increase your margin of profit.

The Fundamental Elements of Web Design

By Anne Torres

The basic elements and principles involved in web design are true for all other types of design. These principles will show you the most effective way to put together the various design elements to come up with a good and effective site.

A good company emphasizes the fact that web design is not simply about slapping all those HTML tags on the page, but it involves the use of principles to build a pleasing and useful design. Your company will need you to make the most aesthetically attractive and effective web design, so make sure you keep these elements in mind:

Balance:

Web design Balance is the equal distribution of the heavy and light elements on a singly page. Balance in your web design is concentrated in your page layout. You must achieve visual balance in your web design all throughout the page, not only in the initial view. You web design company might commonly suggest you to center the text and all the other elements on your page. It is also very common to set your page on an invisible grid system to create the balance that you need. There are three types of balance that can be achieved when designing a page.

Symmetrical. This is achieved by placing all the elements in an even fashion - a heavy element on the left is matched with another on the right. Be careful with symmetrical balances as you do not want your site to look flat or plain boring. Asymmetrical. These are more challenging to build, but there are strategies to achieve this which can include the varying texture, color and image positioning and size to arrive at a pleasant looking page. Discordant. Symmetrical. Web sites that are off-balance suggest action or motion, so you can create a discordant design on purpose. This type of designs make viewers uncomfortable or uneasy, so they are best used for sites that are intended to make people think.

Contrast:

Web design contrast is more than just about colors and black or white, but also involves contrasting shapes, sizes and even textures. You can take full advantage of contrast by changing font size, weight and family to provide textual contrast and varying sizes of images and elements. However, be careful not to blast your readers or scare them off with contrasting colors which are way too loud. The links on your content should be contrasted well to draw most attention.

Emphasis:

Web design emphasis involves the main points where the eye is drawn into in a design. One of the mistakes that your web design company may warn you not to make is to have everything in the design stand out. Keep in mind that if everything in the design has equal emphasis, the entire page will tend to appear too busy for comfort and may end up unappealing.

What you should focus on instead is to create a visual hierarchy in the web design - to put emphasis only on the right elements. You can use semantic markup to provide emphasis even without the use of styles; change the font size of image size in order to emphasis or lessen emphasis on them; or you can use contrast in colors for added emphasis.

Marketing In Tough Times: Improve Website Conversions

By Michael Fleischner

Marketing online takes a good deal of experience. This is especially true as marketing budgets become smaller and are asked to do more. Internet marketing requires skillful management of multiple audiences, campaigns, and more. By using the proper data analysis, and implementing some best practices, you can get more from your online marketing.

For businesses that have a mature online marketing program, improving website performance is a constant struggle. In the last few months, you may have seen fewer visitors to your website or fewer conversions. To improve your top line, you need to better leverage your visitors and turn them into customers.

In the last few months, I have experimented with a number of methods to better leverage the traffic I receive to my website on a regular basis. Having to do more with a smaller marketing budget, implementing new methods for improving conversions is essential. The techniques I use are simple to implement and can begin working immediately.

Provide an informational giveaway. When visitors enter your website, provide some valuable information in exchange for a name and email. This capture of information is essential for marketing your products to web site visitors. Once they offer their information communicate with them on a regular basis.

Use an automated communication stream. Auto responders are great for moving your prospects through the purchase process. After visitors sign up for free information, you can automate the process of speaking with them on a regular basis and providing information that is timely and relevant.

Create a reason to come back. Another great technique is to change up your free offers on a weekly basis. This is easily done if you offer a course covering a new topic each week. Let users know that by coming back to the site, they can access new information, transcripts from a recent conference call, or access to expert information.

Think about other resources you can produce on a regular basis to pull browsers back to your website. One common method is a newsletter. After individuals sign up for your newsletter, you can have a dialogue with them on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Make sure to save copies of your past newsletters online and require registration to view them.

Improving website conversions is more important than ever. It may take some time for the economy to turn around. As a result, you need to try new methods of converting browsers to purchasers. The best way to do so is by offering free content in the form of an informational download or online newsletter. Try different things and measure the results. Once you have found something that works, stick with it.

As you experiment and find new ways to convert your visitors, communicate with them regularly and continue to create value. Over time, these individuals will convert into full paying customers.

Easy Ways to Build a Website

By Chad DeBolt

There are a lot of people out there that want to build a website. To go along with that, there are a lot of different reasons for a person to want to build a website. These reasons can range from marketing, to social networking, to personal reasons. Originally the internet wasn't intended for personal pages but in spite of that the popularity of the personal webpage has skyrocketed beyond belief. You will see all sorts of things out there, from webpages about a person's life, to a person's cat. It all depends on what they want, and because of that there is no limit to what you will see.

Most people get so anxious about getting a site that is flashy, and looks like a major website, that they get confused. So the best thing that you can do for yourself is to make sure that you start off basic and work your way up as you gain more experience.

There are many different sites that are on the internet that will allow you to read tutorials and watch videos on easy ways to set up a website. It's not hard to find information on setting up a website, all you have to do is to get out there and find it.

If you are one that is sitting telling yourself that you would like to start a website but aren't sure where to start then you are in the right place. The best thing for you to do is to make sure that you have done the research, and taken the proper steps to ensure that you understand how to do this. The best method in my opinion is to make sure that you get a book from the library that will teach you the easy steps of setting up a website via HTML. HTML allows you to code the site yourself which means that it is totally customizable to the way that you want it set up. This is a key to you because most sites use various methods that you sometimes can't change them and you have to go by how they have it set up and not you. So get a book, and learn the basic HTML, and it is important to understand that you just need to know the basics, you do not need to know all HTML code.

Now some people are bit lazier and would rather just go by a site that sets up a template for you so that you do not have to mess with HTML. HTML really isn't that hard once you learn it. But if it isn't what you would like to do you, can always visit a site out there that will give you a template to go off of so that it is easier for you to do. Some of these sites will allow you to use your own HTML, but beware because they also will likely at least keep their header on the page.

When trying to learn how to build a website, you will be quick to notice just how much there is to learn about creating your very own. The best thing you can do for yourself is to make sure that you get out there and do all the research necessary. Not only will that be the best thing you can do so that you understand it, but it will allow you to create a site that will be even more efficient than originally.

Whether you take the Do-it-Yourself route or not, you should be well aware of the plumbing pipes and system as well as their installation.

For example, copper pipes which were used in old days, needs to be soldered with the help of a torch which can be dangerous if not handled with full care. So, it is advisable to hire a professional plumber or go for some other material.

The latest plumbing systems however, do not require a torch. They make use of chemicals like PVC etc. which again should be very carefully used.

At the same time, many of these systems are one-step systems, which makes it a much easier and faster process to install these pipes when compared to installing copper piping systems with a torch.

Lawmakers And Houston Foreclosures

By Moises DaSilva

Capitol Hill Lawmakers has recently passed a bill to assist families with avoiding Houston foreclosures. The bill will allow homeowners to refinance their current loans and re-mortgage the loans to other loans that are backed by the government. Some of the homeowners in Houston are currently taking the steps to prevent their property from becoming another of Houstons long list of foreclosed property.

It is a sensible step for homeowners, since the economy is uncertain. With the economy, the way it is and the interest rates, fallen people are looking every day for Houston foreclosures. Some people however are renting some of their living space to others to save their home. Despite of the efforts the economy is suffering and the debt market rates are increasing, which is making it difficult for homeowners to repay their mortgage.

Our economy is suffering dramatically because of the greed that is surfacing. Bills are increasing, which is making it difficult for people to stay erect. Thus, people in Houston have to rent some of their living space just to make ends meet.

Nationally, people are renting some of their living quarters as well just to make ends meet and to avoid going on the foreclosure list. Some homeowners however do not have the option to rent space. Some of the newer areas will not allow homeowners to rent to others, since the deed they had signed prohibited this option. What do these people do to avoid foreclosure?

Many of them lose their homes because their options are limited, which is why we see a long list of foreclosed property in Houston. Houston is located at the southeastern parts of Texas and it is the seat of Harris County. It is located at the head of the Houston Ship Channel, which links the city to the Gulf of Mexico. The inland seaports are where the chief financial, manufacturing centers and distribution is seated for the United States. Texas was one of the largest cities in Texas and the fourth largest in the United States. People believe that everything is big in Texas so they migrate there to enjoy the new style of living. With cowboys and girls, they join. If you are looking Houston foreclosures now is the time to get started. Buying homes for 20 to 40 percent at discounted prices is no big thing in Houston Texas.

The Human Animal And Real Estate Investing

By Doc Schmyz

How come anytime you walk in to a book store and find your way to the business or financial books all the views that are expressed in the titles are very similar??? In one way or another they all call out for a monetary version of bloodshed. I mean think about the titles: "How you can crush the other guy"or "it's not personal its business", "How to come out on top" etc etc. When I got into the real estate investment game I spent hours trying to find the one book that would teach me how to become that REAL ESTATE INVESTING GOD I knew I could become. After reading most of the popular books at the time I actually would feel beat up over the content. I mean did I have to be a "take no prisoners" type of investor? Did I have to prey on some one else's misfortune?? The answer was no. So I set out to build a list of my own investment rules. I think we each should have our own set of investment rules. Doc's Rules for investing:

1) Set up some personal guidelines: Define and follow these guidelines. This is the most important rule I have. . Things to include, but not limit you to, are: Top dollar amount and lowest dollar amount. Type of investment you want to deal with. Period of term for investment.. Etc etc. (You can even have a guideline about the amount of time you will work per-day)

2) Remember a family is behind the deal you're working on. Simply put,whoever you are dealing with has mouths to feed. Just because you can get a great deal on a house because the current owner is in a facing some sort of adversity that is causing them to sell below market value, DOES NOT give you license to kick them when they are down. Treat everyone with dignity and respect. If the price they are offering still falls within the personal investing guidelines you have set for yourself ,don't use your position to abuse the seller. If you?re getting the house for .40 cents on the dollar,don't be a jerk and push for .20 cents. Always remember...it could be you in the sellers postion. (This rule DOES NOT come in to play when dealing with a bank owned property)

3) Always ask for what you want. Why can't you ask for something in an investment deal you like, For example. You're looking at a piece of real estate,ask the seller if they would be willing to throw in new carpet to the sale. I met a investor who was looking at a house that had been on the market for several months. When he went to talk to the seller he happen to see a 1954 Merc Coupe in the garage, so he asked if it was included in the deal. The deal eventually closed for the house AND the car. 4) Make bird dogs. I always give several of my business cards to anyone I do business with and offer them a portion of any profit I make from any investments they help me locate. You would be amazed at how many people will help you make money when they get a small part of it. (And if you follow rule #2 you will be amazed at how many of those bird dogs will sing your praises from the highest mountains)

Just some ideas of things to keep in mind when you're working on your investment mindset. I have used these rules over the years,and in many cases they, have gotten me more return and repeat networking opportunities then I can count.

Succeed in Working at Home: Some Things to Consider

By Art Basmajian

You do not have to miss anything, if you are working at home, and you make cash while you're at it. However, fraud is always on the horizon. After all, when there's money involved, someone will always be after it.

From zero to hero

Unfortunately , the most sure technique to get rich fast is to win the lottery, and you know that is's not very likely to occur. If you'd like to spend the rest of your life working at home, don't believe people who would guarantee you the globe. Possibilities are you're being tricked, so run the other way!

Fast buck schemes are nearly always too good to be true. So it anyone guarantees you big greenbacks without much effort and time needed, you are definitely looking at a flop. Scammers will always capitalize on this, regardless of what, and it's all up to you whether they succeed with you or not.

What you must learn how to accept in each corporation is that there will always be some chance of loss and there are no absolute guarantees. A contingency plan is therefore in order. You can look for an opportunity that will get you working at home in niches that capture human interest. These apply to the basic human prerequisites of food and clothing, as well as the very popular subjects of love and money. It is simply a matter of finding your own little niche amongst the many available.

Research, Research

Think about the sides of your life your venture will affect. Of course , life isn't all about just money, although this is awfully necessary since your investment will not come inexpensive. As earlier discussed : there will always be risks, but you can judge for yourself how much risk you are willing to take for your solely to start working at home.

Whether you will be putting up a business by yourself of joining a group, do your homework. It's fantastic to find a niche that seems unique, but do find out if there is, in reality, a market for it.

It's All Up To You

This is a worthwhile effort, especially if you are trying your hand at working at home for the 1st time, but it is usually possible that you may end up with additional questions than you started with. Be down-to-earth about your limits and capabilities before boarding on what could be a long, lonesome, and very expensive journey.

In the best eventuality, you earn money from something that you truly enjoy. In the worst, you learn something from it.

The Trust Factor

If you join a company, you let it in your life. Ensure you are comfortable before you commit to anything. It's your cash, and at about that point, anything can become private. It's also critical that any business investment you make just to start working at home should have the support system that can see you thru.

Achieve Your Creative Endeavor Dreams With A Marketing Mentor

By Leigh-Ann Lemire

Linking up with an advertising and promotion guide to help you sell your artistic creations can be a great boost to your success as an artist, and that's what this little piece of writing is about.

Specifically, you will learn:

-at the beginning, selling your artistic creations may not be easy.

-how to find a "marketing mentor" who wants to help artists, to get you through the difficulties.

-the necessity of getting your mentor to inform you about time management.

Your dream in the arts can become actuality. Use the information in this article to find the right person to help make it reality.

When you are just starting out trying to sell your works as a creative individual, you will come across family and friends that encourage you. You may come across some folks that have bright ideas that give you a boost forward. You may know some techniques of marketing and selling that get you some sales, too. This will get you started.

That will get you started, but what you really want to do is quit your day job. How do you make the leap from selling an artwork once in a while to selling enough to pay the bills and prosper?

Where do you find a person who can tell you want to do? What do you have to do to make a success of yourself as an artist?

There are many mentors for marketing that are very skilled. What you need to do is find a marketing mentor that is focused on helping talented folks.

A sign that you may be getting close to a person who can help you is if you've found a person who is also a talented artist and successful in his/her field. You don't want a guide who hasn't even tried what s/he is telling you to do. A prosperous painter, actor, musician, etc., will know what to do because he or she has done it and it worked.

A successful artist who makes a living through art and also has time to help you is indeed gifted in time management. Learn everything you can about the subject from your chosen mentor, lest you find yourself doing only advertising, promotion and selling with no time to actually create art.

You can see if your chosen mentor is a successful artist - does he/she support himself or herself by selling art? That would be the basic question.

If the person you are asking has a successful career and also can help you, the person is doing the right things. You want to copy that. You can make a living with your art, but you don't want to spend all your time doing advertising and selling and marketing and have no time left over to create.

Bring about your ideal scene in the arts. Do a little searching and questioning and find the right mentor for you. It would be well worth your while.

The reason why the title is so important is because it gives you an opportunity to display your keywords first.

The first headline that appears on your site should include your most important keywords. It is best to have your title display with an H1 tag. An H1 tag provides emphasis and signals each search engine that you deem the content as important. Other titles on your web page should be displayed using an H2 or H3 tag, indicated once again, the importance of the keywords being used.

Do Not Forget To Optimize Your Meta Tags. Search engine optimization professionals continue to question the true value of meta tags. I know that meta tags are based on a number of core tags but can include many more. The core tags are for a page title, description and keywords. These tags are less important than in years past but should still be included.

Meta tags are used as a starting point and reference for search engines seeking to rank your website. Your meta tags need to be aligned to web site content and include your most important keywords. I suggest limiting your keywords to twelve and limiting your description to about 150 words. By doing so you eliminate the chance that a search engine considers your content as questionable.

Optimize your keyword density for Google. Creating a keyword rich content page is essential but do not get carried away. Your keyword density should be around 3 or 4 percent, no more. Some people believe that you could go as high as six percent for Yahoo! optimization but Google seems to like pages that have a smaller keyword density. From my perspective you are better off focusing on the placement of your keywords and the type of emphasis you provide. Remember to focus on H1 and H2 tags and place keywords at the beginning, middle, and end of your web page. In addition you should have an instance of each keyword phrase in bold, italics, and underlined. This variety again reinforces the value of your links.

Vary Your Keywords. The last piece for us to focus on in the area of on-page optimization is keyword density. Instead of cramming your web page with the same keyword phrase again and again, you must use variety. A great way to do this is by adding a word or two before your keyword phrase and after it. This strategy is important because it shows search engines that your website is focused and not trying to manipulate the rankings.

The most important part of any search engine optimization campaign is to make your site appear natural, present valuable content, and follow on-page optimization best practices. If you use the above suggestions as a guide, you will be well on your way to a fully optimized website.

Give A 30-Days Notice Of Your Utah Rental Home

By Britnee Nguyen

As a tenant of a rental home, your contract may be ending soon. The usual protocol is to give a 30-days notice of whether you will be moving out or renewing your contract. Landlords like this time frame because it gives them time to market their rental home if you're leaving or reassures them they don't have to look for a new tenant. KeyRenter is a Utah property management company that handles notices for tenants and landlords of rental homes in Utah.

A 30-days notice could be verbal, but this isn't the best way to give the notice. It should be writing so there is a hard copy of proof what the agreement was and the date it was signed. This way both parties can't misunderstand what and when the 30-days notice was given.

It doesn't need to be the first day of the month to give a 30-days notice. It is helpful though so you don't have to pay extra pro-rated rent. So you could give a notice in the middle of the month, but since it's for 30 days, you'll have to pay for the extra days, even if you're not living there anymore.

If you decide to move out and that's what you tell the landlord or Utah property management like KeyRenter, then they will be advertising their rental home to find new tenants when you move out. You may have people knocking on your door to take a look at the home. You don't have to let them in unless the landlord is with them, and even then the landlord should give you an advanced notice if someone is coming to look.

When giving your 30-days notice, if you are moving out, discuss the terms of what needs to be done when you move out. This includes how much the last rent check should be, how you'll get your security deposit back. Discuss what day you'll be out and by what time and also any cleaning you will do.

If you say you'll be staying in your 30-days notice, discuss this with your landlord. Talk about renewing the contract which means printing it out and signing it again. This is also a time when you can negotiate any terms of your contract.
