Are You a Junk Information Junkie?

I read a Facebook status update the other day that went something like this: "Spent a few hours cleaning up my e-mail inbox. Down to zero unread messages!"

Meanwhile, in the Gmail account I use for work, I have 1,249 unread messages. My personal Gmail account has 5,162 unread messages. The Yahoo account I use strictly to play fantasy sports? I have 28,815 unread messages. Oh, the shame. And I know I’m not alone.

We’re living in an age of information overload. But the problem isn’t just that we’re hamstrung by the sheer volume of the information we’re bombarded with. It’s also the quality of the information we’re consuming. The scurrilous and salacious sells, and we’re gorging ourselves on it. Experts have a name for this. It’s called junk information, and like junk food, it can be delicious – and dangerous.

I’m just as guilty as anybody. And we all know how easy it is to fall down the Internet rabbit hole. An article on Kim Kardashian’s latest selfie leads to an op-ed savaging Kanye West’s recent circus of a wedding proposal, which prompts daily “Kanye is self-destructing” updates on TMZ, so you check out a list of the top 20 craziest things ever said by musicians, and since you’re checking out lists, you click over to a list of the top 27 cutest baby animals… and then, four hours have passed and you’re no closer to getting your work done.

Junk information can be a productivity killer. Clay Johnson, author of the book “The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption,” is on a crusade to get us on a more positive track. He offers a host of tools that can help you cut back on junk information:

Everything in moderation: Since information is something we decide to consume, Johnson says we must be mindful of what we take in. For every lowest-common-denominator rant we read in the comments section after a news article, we should make an effort to read something of high quality, such as the Sunday editorial section of The New York Times or taking an hour to watch the PBS News Hour. The goal is moderation and tempering vitriol, trivial information and wild conjecture – or low quality information – with thoughtful reasoning and cold, hard facts.

Fitness is your friend: Johnson advises to try something called “information fitness,” which is another way of saying put strict limits on your consumption in order to preserve your ability to focus. Tabbed browsing and endless e-mail windows are often the productive office worker’s worst enemy. Try an app like Mailbox or some of the tab management tools available for Chrome and Firefox.

Take a time-out: Set a timer. For every hour your spend working, you can take ten minutes for an unbridled junk information bacchanal, or just to walk around and get some fresh air. Reset. Repeat. The best part? The experts say that these short breaks actually reduce information overload and boost productivity.

Go vegan: Or as Johnson calls it, an infovegan. An infovegan is “someone who makes a deliberate decision to remove a vast amount of news and information sources from one’s diet, sticking to a well-constrained, allowable set of consumption inputs for their own health’s sake.” While this may be extreme for many, it may be the best – and only – option for some of the most diehard junk information junkies out there who are looking to boost their productivity.

Listen folks I have been working online for a while and setting up a presence to be able to tell my story to the world and allow my relatives and friends from all over the world to see what cool and new things I have been doing.  Essentially telling my story...
 

I want to be able to help you believe in yourself and show you that it takes guts to be able to tell your story.  But your story is very important to help the rest of the world in many ways.  I do not know your story so I cannot give you reasons why at this moment, but I want to learn about your story and help you learn how to tell it in a compelling way and make a video about it so the rest of the world can also learn from what you went through and accomplished.

10 Steps to Article Writing for Dummies

Are you an article writer? And you are having challenges and problems meeting your article writing goals that is creating and writing thousands of valuable, relevant and unique articles? Then this article is definitely for you. Most article writers always complain of not knowing what methods and techniques to create quality articles on the web, and always come up with quality article ideas that will always generate human interest and attract high pageviews to your article pages.

In this article, I have suggested several ways you can always generate quality article ideas so, you can easily increase your income especially when you write for sites like Triond that pays you based on pageviews:

1. Increase Your Knowledgebase on Different Topics: Despite how good and knowledgable you are in a particular topic or subject, you will not be able to write tons of quality and unique articles. So the best way to increase your ability to write hundreds and even thousands of articles that are unique, full of quality and value to your readers is to begin to increase your knowledge on either related areas of your expertise or entirely new subjects. For example, if you are knowledgable on Internet marketing, you can learn about other related topics under Internet marketing such as: blogging, WordPress, WordPress themes and plugins, etc or you can learn entirely new subjects such as sports, gardening, journalism or fashion.
Doing this increases your capacity to create a lot of quality articles and helps improve your writing skills and appeal to a wide range of readers and can land you a lot of freelancewriting gigs as a freelancewriter.

2. Research on The Web and Write Review Articles: The Internet is full of interesting websites that a lot of people want to know about in various niche markets online. All you need to do is to research all over the Internet and look for websites you feel offer some sort of cool and interesting features and services or products that is worth talking about and that will interest people online, write short articles about these sites teaching about their products and services and publish them on Triond.

These type of articles are easy to write, all you need to do is to send about one or two hours reading about everything and section on the site, try to sign up on the site if it offers a membership option and get to know about it’s membership benefits and all, summarize everything you have gathered and learn’t about the website in a 500 – 1,500 word article. There are millions of sites that offer interesting products, services and features to the web community in different niche markets/industries that you can write thousands of articles on. You can write your first review article now, don’t go too far, check out sites in your niche market or topic of specialization on Google search engine, spend some time studying each website and summarize all you have learn’t about the site in an article, then you have your review article written. You can review as many websites as you can possibly research on.

3. Personal Experiences: What are your personal experiences in life whether good or bad experiences? You can offer some form of knowledge or advice to other people from your personal experiences in life, love, family, religion, relationship with the opposite sex, job or business.
Writing does not have to be all professional, write about your personal; experiences and you will be amazed how many people want to learn a few things about your experiences as an individual even your personal mistakes can be an article teaching people how to avoid your mistakes. I am about to publish an article on Triond based on my personal experiences on my search on earning a living online. Though not yet published but you can be notified via your NewsFeed when you add me as a freind when the article published.

4. Your Hobbies: A Hobby is an activity you do at your spare time both consciously and unconsciously. You can write an article (or articles) based on your hobby because to a great extent you have some things to share on your hobby that you may not know at the moment. All you need to do is to ask yourself reasons why you choose that particular hobby and what are the benefits you have derived from your  hobby, list them and explain on paper, there you have article in the making, you get the picture? Your hobby can be an activity non-related to your area of profession, career or business, so you see that will be an nice angle to create new, fresh, quality and unique articles that will interest a new group of readers.

5. Other People’s Mistakes and Experiences: What mistakes do people around you and close relatives have made? What moral or personal lessons did you draw from those mistakes or experiences of other people? You can also write them as articles but don’t write the names of those people involved.
Listen to people when they speak about their mistakes and experiences whether good or bad experiences and write articles offering some form of advice on how to avoid those experiences and mistakes especially it caused those people so much pain, regret, anger and financial loss.

6. Re-write Junk Content on Other  Websites: The best way to find junk articles with bad sentence formation, wrong spellings, grammatical errors, wrong presentation of article ideas and article structures is mainly on Article directories and guest post submission sites, under my niche categories, I look for articles that are poorly written, lack concrete facts about the knowledge or information they are sharing with their readers. I print these articles and re-write and do some research and brainstorm on what information or knowledge the authors were trying to communicate with their readers, then I research on the web on more concrete and solid facts to add to the article to make it more unique and quality, then I rewrite the articles and submit on either Triond or other paid site I write for online.
If this process looks clear and understandable to you, you can follow it to create a lot of articles. Why I like this article writing technique is because I don’t have to generate new article ideas, all I do is re-write the junk articles in a unique, smarter, better way and structure with a more professional and catchy title that is keyword optimized.

7. Answer  Peoples’ Questions: There are a lot of question-and-answer websites online where people go to ask unique questions that relates to their various needs. Some of the popular Q&A sites millions of  people visit everyday to ask questions that they need experts to answer those questions. Such Sites are Yahoo Answers, AnswerBag, Mahalo, ExpertBee and Answers.
Visit those websites, register with them. To locate the questions people ask in their niche market or area of specialization, Type in your target niche keyword on the search bar of the website. When questions asked by members of the site appears on the results pages, search for the questions you know you can answer, write an article, publish it on Triond and then submit the article link on the answer site so that members who asked the question can read your article on the topic of their questions. This method can also be used to promote your Triond articles.

8. Keyword Research: As an article writer, keyword research is your “spyglass” to discover untapped markets or keyword industries or niches that you are not meeting with your articles. This technique is needed by Triond writers, bloggers and freelancewriters to find related topics in the area of their expertise or specialization where they can create more and unique articles that are useful and relevant to their readers. Use the Google Keyword Tool to carry out your keyword research online. When you open the tool, type in the particular keyword phrase in the search bar and it will give exact and broad terms related to your keyword niche. When you run out of new article ideas to write in your niche market, use the tool to generate new article ideas without stress. Also, use Nicheaday.com and MarketSamurai Software to carry out keyword research on new keyword niches.

9. Create an Article Series: There are times you have one big article idea that you will not be able to explain in a single article, what you need to do is to create a series for that article idea. This type of article writing technique has the potential to turn your single article idea to tons of  uniquely written articles. All you need to do to create an article series, is to think up a general article idea, divide your idea with the following words: What, How, Where and From into sections and sub-ideas, list your sub-ideas under these words and start providing unique and separate information under each article idea. Then you have created several articles under one article idea.

10. Google Hot Trends: This is just a tool / service by Google to display the top keyword terms a lot of people usually in thousands and even tens of thousands are using to search for a particular information. This is an event based keyword research tool that tells you what thousands of people are searching for at a particular time.

All you need to do is to find out what keywords are trending high (usually events, movies and celebrities), research on the keywords and write articles on them and submit your article on Triond.
When you use these techniques above, I believe you will always come up with new ideas to create unique, relevant and quality articles for your Triond readers. Share this article with your friends and bookmark it for future reference if you find useful and helpful. Share your ideas by making comments.

Listen folks I have been working online for a while and setting up a presence to be able to tell my story to the world and allow my relatives and friends from all over the world to see what cool and new things I have been doing.  Essentially telling my story...
 

I want to be able to help you believe in yourself and show you that it takes guts to be able to tell your story.  But your story is very important to help the rest of the world in many ways.  I do not know your story so I cannot give you reasons why at this moment, but I want to learn about your story and help you learn how to tell it in a compelling way and make a video about it so the rest of the world can also learn from what you went through and accomplished.

3 Favorite Productivity Tools

No two people take notes the same way. But one thing is common among all note-takers: they always feel their system could somehow be better.

Deciding which features are crucial and which can be skipped is why there are thousands of note-taking apps in the Apple App Store alone. Some sync to an online service, some try to pare things down to just black text on a white background, and some have more buttons than they do customers. What’s worth checking out?

Ask a guy (that would be me) who spent five years as a notepad-toting journalist; more than three years writing about, testing, and responding to commenter criticisms of note apps at Lifehacker; and who has since  tried mightily to make his note-taking actually fit into his strange freelance writing habits. I’ve seen and tried it all. Here are my recommendations for three kinds of note schemes:

Computer and iPhone-based notes: PlainText

There are a lot of text editors that use files in the cloud storage service Dropbox as their base. My favorite is PlainText. It’s simple to use and can work with another person if needed. PlainText is an iPhone/iPad-based app, but any text editor that can edit .txt files in a Dropbox account can work with it. Android users can start with Jota+Draft, though there are many other options.

PlainText is uncluttered and reminiscent of paper writing while being relatively easy on the eyes during long editing sessions. If you want to share notes with a coworker or spouse, you can do that as well. A friend of mine with a newborn uses PlainText to sync up baby info between his wife’s iPhone and his own. It also organizes your work in folders without making you feel like you’re in a file system.

So why not Evernote?: Evernote is the Chipotle of cloud-based note systems: popular, full-featured, and seemingly everywhere. But I avoid it because I’m too easily distracted to sort through my “everything bucket.” I don’t want to see gift ideas when I’m trying to write about note-taking apps, and it can be a bit depressing to catch a glimpse of my huge list of to-dos when looking for a dinner recipe. But if you’re an Android user and Jota+Draft isn’t your cup of tea, you may want to check it out.

Paper notebooks: Use colors

For someone advanced beyond grade school and not grading papers, it can seem silly to take the time to color-code your notes. But there are good reasons to do so:

• Colored notes are easier to scan and less monotonous to dig through.
• They separate facts and questions, different sources, and your to-do’s and to-asks, so it’s easy to find the information you need at a glance.
• Coloring does even more to make notes stick in your mind.
  

So, which notebook?: Buy any notebook that feels like a comfortable size for your hand, spacing for your words, and price for your budget. Moleskine, Field Notes, a 99-cent spiral pad from the drugstore—it doesn’t matter. The best notebook, like the best camera, is the one you have with you.

Voice notes: Rev Voice Recorder (iPhone) or Tape-A-Talk (Android)

If you’re an iPhone type, you can do much worse than Rev Voice Recorder. As a simple record-and-save app, it’s pretty good at its job. It organizes and dates your recordings and lets you share them out via email, Dropbox or Evernote, or dump them onto your computer via iTunes sync. The value added is that you can also have longer brainstorms or two-person conversations reliably transcribed for $1 per minute by actual human beings.

Android users should try out Tape-a-Talk. It’s a feature-rich app that records high-quality audio from all kinds of sources, and saves it or sends it to your storage space of choice. For note-to-self sessions, the Pro version ($5) has dictation-style tools to record over mistakes and simple editing tools.

Why not the built-in app on my phone?: Mostly because the important things you record should be saved outside your phone too, because phones get lost, stolen or dropped. And the built-in recording tools often produces weird file names that can make notes difficult to find, while also having  no helpful features to assist with note-taking.

What about you? What tools or methods do you find to be the most efficient and productive for your job or at your office? Let us know in the comments below.

8 Efficient Ways To Set Up A Website.

Selling Something Direct? Use A Simple Means Of Purchase. A middleman service like PayPal is perfectly good to begin with. If you have just a small number of items, their HTML buttons are an effective way to test demand. When you make over $1k a month, acquire a merchant account of your own.

Pay Freelancers To Make Software For You And Give It Away Free. This may work very well indeed. Research the most popular freeware PHP scripts; could you think of a script you could get programmed and have your own link inserted into it?

Put At Least 500 Words Of Paragraphed Text In. If your web pages have duplicate header, footer, left side-bar, right side-bar, and only a sliver of text in the middle, you may incur a duplicate content penalty. You can get a freelance to write 500 mediocre words for $10, or 500 words of marketing copy for a good deal more.

Automate, Automate, Automate! The effort involved in web marketing can be very boring. Prior to getting caught up in some lengthy promotion or submission process, think about whether you can get a software or a freelancer to do it for you. Or whether it should be done that way at all.

Have More Than One Web Host. Have more than one net hosting account if you have many websites. Spread the websites out over different accounts. That way, if one web host goes 'splat', it will be a minor annoyance in place of a twelve-hour slog getting twenty websites back online. You may put the resource-intensive stuff on the good, costly host, and the less important websites on the $5 per month hosts. You may then, using SSH and FTP, backup one site on-server and FTP it to another account directly. This could save a lot of time. It's also much speedier than downloading a backup to your PC and re-uploading it somewhere else. Have you got a 2MB broadband connection? The 2MB is the theoretical download speed. Ever try uploading a fat file? A lot slower, isn't it?

Install A Blogging Software Easily. Wordpress can be installed in moments from the Fantastico section of Cpanel. It allows a non-pro to put their thoughts on the web easily. You should acquire a search engine optimised theme for it; this will make Google index it properly. Such softwares are free; you needn't pay for 'em.

Useful Software:

• 1. Easy Text To HTML Converter. This software might batch convert text files to HTML. See also: dirHtml. WordCleaner may convert Microsoft Word documents to HTML.

• 2. WinSCP. This is a very clever piece of FTP software.

• 3. Putty Telnet/SSH Client. A simple-looking, but sophisticated, freeware telnet and SSH client.

• 4. CGI-Telnet. A cgi script that allows you to run commands on your server, even if your internet host won't give you telnet access.

• 5. AXS Visitor Tracking System. A very high-spec hit counter.

• 6. Port 2096. If you have CPanel on your webhost, https://YourDomain.com:2096 is the net address of your email accounts.

• 7. GetColor! This is a small, simple program to find out the colour code of any page or software on your desktop.

• 8. Arctan Bulk Replacer. This is a rare thing, a search and replace program for the Windows desktop.

• 9. '1-4a Rename'. A batch file renamer.

• 10. Netscape Communicator 4.8. This has a very effective email client (Netscape Messenger) and a decent WYSIWYG HTML editor (Netscape Composer) in it.

A Super-Simple Site: Use a text-to-html generator to make web pages from text files. Then use an index generator to create an index HTML page of these files. Clean these pages up in a WYSIWYG web page editor. Then FTP upload them to your webhosting account. Voila! A super-simple web site. Want something more complicated? Get a web hosting account with Cpanel and Fantastico. Look for the 'Wordpress' option in Fantastico, and install it. Then get a search engine optimized theme for your blog; the default install isn't search engine friendly.

Use Freelances For Jobs You Lack The Skills For. Is money tight? Try scriptlance.com or rentacoder.com. The key to acquiring premium work is to a) be as clear as possible as to what you want and b) write your spec in simple, concise terms. Your work will likely be done by someone who's first language is not English. Most web marketers give a vague specification and get work they're unhappy with. Pick someone who's had a lot of positive reviews recently. Pay in stages. Use the freelance site's escrow facility. Do not expect to acquire more than you coughed up for, and don't be cheap; if someone does a good job, they deserve a bonus, not carping.

Make A Better, Faster, Cheaper Version Of A Popular Product. You can walk a trail someone else has blazed. You may learn from their mistakes. The only down-side is that the opposition will have first-mover advantage and brand-recognition. However, you might also use them to publicise your stuff e.g. "My SnarkWodger 2.1 is faster and cheaper than Big_Name_Brand"; cue controversy, which equals publicity.

Beware The Latest $49/$97/$149 Software. There are many web marketers who've realised that a good method of making cash on the web is to exploit other web entrepreneurs, as there are millions of them. This usually takes the form of packaging up, in a software or service, a trick that was novel six months ago. By the time Joe Webmaster gets wind of it, it's dead. Study it thoroughly before plonking down cash for it. Seek out independent reviews.

Use A Popular, Inexpensive Web Host. Here are a few filtering criteria:

• Google PageRank of at least 5. Send them an email or two. See how long it takes to receive a response.

• They should have a forum (another indication of popularity and customer support).

• Umpteen features offered (MySQL databases, Cpanel, Fantastico).

• Recent positive reviews in webmaster forum.

• Offers Linux servers (Windows costs more, and offers less).

• Cost per month might be as low as $10, and still have all the features above.

Clean Up Your HTML. Dreamweaver adds lots of extra blank space to HTML code, and breaks lines. This is especially annoying in meta tags. Use EditPad's 'Find and Replace' function to get rid of newlines and double blank spaces in your pages.

Submit Articles To Article Directories. What you need is a service or a software that will do this for you automatically. Submission by hand is soul-destroying. Ask in web marketer forums about the best softwares and services.

Submit To The Top Web Directories, like Yahoo and DMOZ, but don't spend much money or time. Only a few are worth a damn for SEO purposes. You'll only get an occasional visitor from these.

Post In Popular Discussion Boards And Blogs, if they'll let you use straight links in your signature. This is a short-term measure if you want to acquire back-links. It's a long-term method if you want to sell to forum members.

Be Controversial; whip a few sacred cows. The web is used by many people who delight in pointing out how other people are wrong. You might use this to your advantage to get publicity. It would help, of course, if you truly believed what you were saying.

Be First With A New, Popular Good (or a smarter second). MySpace wasn't the first social networking site, but they improved the model. They designed it to be viral. Members could compete to get 'friends', and everyone wants new friends, right? Users could put whatever they wished online, even if it looked like rubbish. Censorship was minimal. Result: Huge popularity, without needing the search engines.

Do A Press Release, and consider prior to doing do how you can make it more attractive to journalists. Spammers have lately taken to releasing poor-quality news items to just get backlinks. A better notion would be to investigate how to write a good-quality release and then consider what would be truly interesting to put in it.

Beware Of The Guru! There are lots of semi-famous marketers and their fans out there selling videos, courses and books on how to earn lolly in internet marketing. They're marketing tips on how to do marketing! Nice work if you can get it. The best advice you might get about web marketing is on webmaster message boards. Even then, you need to use your own personal noise filter to winnow out the gems from the dross.

Web Host Technical Support. Technical support is as important as the software a web host offers. Some web hosts charge $10 per month and respond to support enquiries in 20 minutes. Some charge $40 per month and get back to you next day. As long as the query gets answered, this may not be a problem. If the quality of the support declines, however, it isn't. One day you'll need a quick answer to a very urgent problem. You will thank your god you took pains to find, and pay for, a responsive web host.

Webhost Features. Most geeks prefer Unix. It has a longer history, and is more stable. Web hosts offering Unix variants like Linux have always been less expensive. They also seem to offer a wider range of toys. I require SSI (Server Side Includes), SSH (secure Telnet), 10 MySQL databases, Cpanel, PHPMyAdmin and a UK IP number. And you can get this for $15 a month. Things like MySQL databases, Cpanel and SSH access are real stumbling points for many internet hosts. If they're generous with these, you've found a rare jewel.

Useful Freeware:

• 1. NVU Web Editor. This is a pretty good freeware web page editor.

• 2. GIMP Image Editor. This is a good image and photo manipulation package.

• 3. OpenOffice, an alternative to the Microsoft office suite. This can save you thousands if you need to buy multiple licences.

• 4. SimplyMepis. This a Linux operating system package. Like Damn Small Linux, it might be run from a CD; useful in emergencies.

Come Up For Air Occasionally. It's very easy to get mired in the minutiae of this or that web project. There are folks whose lives revolve around fiddling with addons to open-source software. You should keep your eyes on the prize; what do you want and what's the most simple, legal way of getting it?

I hope these few simple tips will be of some use to you in getting a nice-looking website done quickly.

6 Things You Need To Know When Setting Up Your Company

 

Many small companies are classed as sole partnerships or proprietorships. That means that the business is owned by one or two people, sometimes more. Having this classification would be good if the business grows and it earns big net profits because then only the proprietors share in the profit. However, when the business goes bust and has to pay its creditors, the personal assets of the owners may be vulnerable to being seized. Incorporating the business as a distinct 'body' (corpus) means that the liability of proprietors to creditors would just be up to the amount of his/their investment in the business.

Sole Proprietorship: In a small-sized business owned by one, two or more proprietors and classed as either a sole proprietorship or partnership, most expenses incurred (even operating expenses) are considered expenses of the proprietors and can't be used for tax deductions.

Small businesses classified as sole partnerships or proprietorships don't have a separate legal 'personality', so the 'persona' of the company is attached to the 'persona' of the owners. This means they're liable for everything that occurs to the business and to all who suffer damages from such incidents.

Sole proprietorships or partnerships are taxed heavily compared to corporations which have lower taxes imposed. Corporations can also claim a range of tax deductions. This makes a large difference to their profitability.

Small businesss that are unincorporated have to fend for themselves as distinct from corporations which can conceal themselves under the mantle of the corporate cloak. Under this principle the courts will not interfere with the operations and business decisions of a company unless very necessary. The court will only pull back the cloak of corporate independence when it is shown that it is causing harm to other entities.

Small businesss have to look after themselves in terms of getting money for operational and expansion purposes. A corporation has a potentially unlimited source of finance because it has access to various investors who may put their cash in a legal entity like a corporation.

Benefits Of Incorporation:

• 1. You protect yourself and your assets from liabilities that may be accumulated by your business.

•2. You get more tax credits and enjoy more tax deductions.

• 3. You give your company a separate legal 'persona' that is distinct from the owner(s). You protect your company by putting it under a corporate 'mantle'.

• 4. You expand your business beyond your person.

• 5. You lengthen the existence of your business; it goes on even if something happens to you or to the other owners of the company.

• 6. You increase the capitalisation of your business by getting more investors who will share the losses and profits.

Legal 'Personality': Choose which legal personality you wish to give your business. You may choose to make it a limited liability company, general or close corporation, stock or non profit.

Name: Choose a name for your company and have it reserved if you can because another business might register that name before you. Make sure that the name you choese does not have the terms 'insurance', 'college', 'university', 'bank' or other words that are not legally permitted.

Money: Decide on the amount of start-up capitalisation or the amount of shares that would be authorised for the corporation. Also carefully select a financial institution i.e. bank. This will be the place where you keep your cash and is an important decision.

Place Of Incorporation: The state or country where you will form your business is also very critical since there are places that are more business-friendly than others. make sure you choose a country or state that will offer the maximum benefits for your company, tax-wise.

Location: Your business location is critical. This will decide legally how you should run your business and will likewise affect how successful it is. Your company needs a location that improves the chances of success.

Stability: One of the prime errors other businessmen have made in the past is moving their business around too many times. When picking on your business incorporation, you should have a definite location in your head. Likewise your company name ought to remain the same from the start. This will encourage the popularity of your product or service.

Directors: Only file your articles of incorporation after you have decided on your board of directors or board members, depending on the type of corporation you have decided to form.

Research Your Market. The financial success of your company will rely on knowing the service or product you will sell. So as to to grow successfully in any business you must understand your industry. This will help you to pick a strategy and a name for your business.

Marketing: Set down a clear marketing plan. Getting the word out about the possibilities of your service or product is crucial. Whatever way your strategy works, you need to effectively and clearly speed up this important work. If money is an issue, keep your marketing simple; internet, local ads, business cards.

Chamber Of Commerce: Attend local Chamber of Commerce meetings. Many people do not understand that Chambers of Commerce hold meetings attended by local business owners. There could also be other little known business owner clubs. When you are starting off your business's incorporation, these meetings might be very useful.

The Small Business Organization (USA). If you're starting your company the local office of the SBO could be a useful destination. They have loads of info about the business you're starting in, the laws overseeing incorporation, the process of starting your company and the requirements to keep it going.

Secretary of State Office (USA): The job of governing your company as it pertains to state law is done by the Secretary of State, in the state where you live. They'll be able to provide you with all legal requirements needed to maintain your corporation.

Hire A Business Lawyer (USA). Your company incorporation may seem to be a mystery to you. A business lawyer will know each step that should be taken and will know where to file all of the paperwork. In the UK a company formation can be done in minutes at the Companies House website.

You Will Need An Accountant. Financial years, payroll, taxes and benefits; these are just a few of the items you ought to be familiar with to head up your business. They could be handled by a licensed accountant a good deal more effectively than attempting to juggle it all on your own. An accountant can help you in a variety of ways. Not just in making the best financial decisions for your incorporation, but also modifying your financial procedures. This could make a big difference when incorporating. It might bring many financial benefits, particularly in the area of taxation.

Make sure each partner's role, benefits, and responsibilities are clearly defined from the beginning. You ought to also be sure your business has an exit plan for each partner. This will protect all people joining your business.

Your business incorporation is a process with stages. Make sure you do not rush it. Careful planning and going at a moderate pace can help you be more successful.

Keep your business issues and your personal issues separate. Otherwise, you're sabotaging the reasons you incorporated in the first place. If you have partners, it's important to have a specific exit-strategy process in place. It will set down the buy-and-sell boundaries of a partner's company interest. This can prevent serious financial and legal issues from cropping up. Each procedure your corporation will follow should be drafted into the by-laws of your business.

I hope these few handy ideas will assist you in getting a worthwhile company formation quickly and efficiently.

4 Tips On How To Make Money Online

1. Internet success is easy; it just requires a plan. Most webmasters just try anything and everything, randomly. You can get in touch with a wide range of potential clients and communicate with anyone in the world, speedily. You could use your email opt-in list to send data about your newsletters, products and special offers; whatever you believe your prospects want.
2. The hard part of selling online is sticking with the business until it starts to make a profit. You find advice spread all over the Internet, but just how much of it can you trust? Internet scams exist in their thousands, each one designed to attract suckers with the promise of easy money.

1. SEO (search engine optimization) is the means by which you push your website up Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). At least 80 percent of all internet traffic now starts at a search engine. You might hire an SEO expert, but choose carefully; an inexperienced one could destroy your rankings and get your site banned. Always read reviews on leading webmaster forums. A top notch internet marketing firm will work very closely with your server logs, web analytics and any additional statistics they can get their hands on. This helps the setting up and optimisation of any ad campaign.

1. If you're not familiar with search-engine marketing, it's necessary to understand how it works. You use search-engines to drive traffic to your web site. 80 to 95% of your web sites visitors will come from search engines, unless you've got a 'viral' service of your own, or a 'buzzing' forum or blog. Search-engine optimisation can bring benefits wildly out of proportion to the amount of hours and money that you put into them.

1. Social-media should considered seriously. Social media websites are changing the way we connect with one another. Put a person in front of a product and it creates natural human interest. Your success or failure is determined by your methods. The most significant part of a winning social media plan is the content on your profile page. Use this to help your cause. Micro-blogging web sites may have embedded web addresses that tell surfers about products. Free blog networks might assist you in building search-engine optimisation into your websites as well. There are lots of ways to exploit social media. Look to other media types to publicise your wares.

1. Don't only click on every advertisement you see to find revenue sources; try to find cooperative groups of WAHMs (work-at-home moms) who have discovered success in making money online or off and ask them for advice. They might give you some ideas about which programs are actually worth investing in. Investigate discussion-boards and forums. Some forums allow users to post web addresses in the body of a message. Make sure to read all the board policies carefully before trying this, or you could be banned for spamming.

1. Pay Per Click (PPC) could well bring in a good conversion, but each click costs money. Many pro marketing experts will tell you that investment in Natural Search is excellent value for your cash.

1. Toddle over to Clickbank.com to find the latest products. Look for a product that's popular, but make sure it's a product you are familiar with. Likely purchasers discount sellers that are ignorant about the item they're selling, which makes them less likely to buy it.

1. Article writing is a fine method of website or self promotion. You could also write articles for other people for money, but the most site owners will pay is about twenty-five bucks, and often it's a lot less. Article directories allow you to include a blurb about yourself and your website to encouragefolksto visit it. You can also get more customers by creating an e-book and using blogs to promote same.

1. Keywords are essential to your web sites traffic campaign, but how you use them is also significant. Some sites do "keyword stuffing" where they create near-random sequences of words to draw in search-engine bots. Search-engines have algorithms that can catch this and will penalise the offending website.

1. If you have a website created, you need to design it. All your site needs to include is a review page about your product with consumer testimonials declaring that each item works well and is worth buying into.

1. You might try reciprocal linking. This is an agreement between site owners to backlink to each others' sites. It's a good way get a site off the ground, but you need one-way links to get search-engine 'love'. It's a good idea to link to websites that sell compatible but not competing products.

1. Most folks who want to earn cash through the internet start out working part-time to see if it's worthwhile before jumping in and making a big investment. Dropshippinggives you an opportunity to give it a go for little to no money invested upfront. Create a database of sites that have the type of audience your product range requires so you can copy their tips and techniques. In dropshipping the vendor simply sets up the deal and makes money from it when a third party ships it. There's a lot less effort involved and it offers excellent returns if you find your niche. You can build up trust in your product range by sending information about them via email newsletters.

1. Be wary of web marketing cons; they may take every cent you have. Most scams seem good upfront. If you stick to affiliate marketing, you won't go too badly astray,unless you put your lolly in PPC marketing to attract potential customers, and pick worthless keywords.

1. Blogs are handy for gathering interest, but don't think you might get one famous in a few days. As a way into marketing, they are fairly quick and easy to create. Look for internet-based tutorials and related forums. Or you could pay someone else to set up the blog for you. For the time being a hosting account with Cpanel and Fantastico installed will allow you to install a basic blog at the touch of a button.

1. Blogging can draw visitors by co-ordinating link-exchanges with other bloggers and networking within the blogging community.

1. You can do everything from freelance work, such as web-design or writing, to selling items you've sourced yourself online. If you'd prefer work in steady employment you could get into remote administration, telecommuting, and work-from-home opportunities.
2. One-way backlink building is a method to publicize your site. Paid links allow you to get listed in web directories that post high-ranking sites and offer hyperlinks to your sites for a fee.

1. The greater number of visitors you attract the greater your ability to get more sales. Place content-rich pageson each of your web sites and include keywords that will climb to the top of search engine results and increase traffic volumes. Research in advance, don't just work on an ad-hoc basis.

1. Buy a domain name that's very similar to to the affiliate marketing product you're trying to publicise.Don't, however, infringe on the copyright of a brand name. That may annoy the brand owner.

1. An excellent way to make money on the internet is bygenerating and then flipping web sites. You can either sell your own web site, or you can buy a new web site, add to its value, and then sell it on. Site-flipping is not without risk; it calls for a high level of initial investment. Buying and selling websites has become easier. It is considered a regular business venture, and some people are earning good money from it. The market is always looking for good sites. If more traffic is attracted to your web site each day, the perceived worth of your domain will be higher. Before putting a site up for auction, make it look professional-looking. Make sure it satisfies the requirements of possible purchasers. Websites that sell other web sites ask for minimal info about your website, such as how much traffic it draws and how much money you are making from it monthly. The more transparent the infprmation is, the easier it will be for you to sell. When buyers have decided about the quality of your site, they will start bidding.

1. Increase visitor numbers using keywords. You could find lots of keyword suggestion tools that give you a list of keywords on a particular niche. You may use these to draw potential customers to your landing page. Most affiliate marketing opportunities offer up to 75% commission on every sign-up you get for them, so they do all the hard labour, and you make the money! What you are doing is being their sales rep. Salesmen are usually very well rewarded, as they bring the money in.

1. Online marketing is all about brand name exposure.Articles on your website needs to be optimised. Get your brand all over the Internet so that you may attract worthwhile traffic. Targetted traffic is what you're aiming for; if you get a popular video on Youtube about bagpipe-playing, but you're selling mortgages, you won't make much money off it.

1. There are a number of alternatives for learning about web marketing. These alternatives include reading paperback books, reading associate marketers blogs, visiting webmaster forums, clever search-engine queries and studying other successful online marketing efforts.

1. When your business is up and running, if your offer is not making sales, move on and try another. Don't sit on it hoping that it'll sell; it probably won't.

1. Spend time testing out different ideas in order to discover those that work best. Select a business type that you find agreeable and that you are passionate about. Then get educated. Set up your own website or blog. Build a mailing list. Replicated affiliate sites won't provide that to you. Start with what you know.
