Welcome to Flo's Business & Fun Blog
The weekend is here and I'm looking forward to my day off tomorrow .. I have no special plans but to relax and enjoy it!
I have a visitor from Edmonton Alberta till next Tuesday so I'm hoping to do something different with my friend. I enjoyed the horse buggy ride... I'll mention it and hopefully my friend will be interested of seeing some country scenes and have a great day.
It's Friday today .. I'm sharing part 4 of "General Superstitions" provided by Craftie Linda an Adland Friend. It's interesting and some are very funny...

General Superstitions
by Craftie Linda

When making the bed, don't interrupt your work, or you will spend a restless night in it.
A swarm of bees settling on a roof is an omen that the house will burn down.
The sound of bells drives away demons because they're afraid of the loud noise
When a bell rings, a new angel has received his wings.
If you blow out all the candles on your birthday cake with the first puff you will get your wish.
The Blarney Stone is a stone set in the wall of the Blarney Castle tower in the Irish village of Blarney. Kissing the stone is supposed to bring the kisser the gift of persuasive eloquence (blarney.)
To protect yourself from witches, wear a blue bead.
Touch blue and your wish will come true.
Before slicing a new loaf of bread, make the sign of the cross on it.
A loaf of bread should never be turned upside down after a slice has been cut from it.
If you say good-bye to a friend on a bridge, you will never see each other again.
Do not lean a broom against a bed. The evil spirits in the broom will cast a spell on the bed.
If you sweep trash out the door after dark, it will bring a stranger to visit.
If someone is sweeping the floor and sweeps over your feet, you'll never get married.
Never take a broom along when you move. Throw it out and buy a new one.
To prevent an unwelcome guest from returning, sweep out the room they stayed in immediately.
If the first butterfly you see in the year is white, you will have good luck all year.
Three butterflies together mean good luck.
If a candle lighted as part of a ceremony blows out, it is a sign that evil spirits are nearby.
If the first calf born during the winter is white, the winter will be a bad one.
Keep cats away from babies because they "suck the breath" of the child.
A cat onboard a ship is considered to bring luck.
If you get a chill up your back or goose bumps, it means that someone is walking over your grave.
It is bad luck to light three cigarettes with the same match.
Evil spirits can't harm you when you stand inside a circle.
If a clock which has not been working suddenly chimes, there will be a death in the family.
Clover protects human beings and animals from the spell of magicians and the wiles of fairies, and brings good luck to those who keep it in the house.
It's bad luck to pick up a coin if it's tails side up. Good luck comes if it's heads up.
To drop a comb while you are combing your hair is a sign of a coming disappointment.
Cows lifting their tails is a sure sign that rain is coming.

Google's Video Store Premiers
Welcome to Flo's Business & Fun Blog
What a day yesterday, it rained all day! By 4:00pm it started to snow big flakes, by 9:00pm the traffic on the hwy 17 was moving very slow... quite slippery with the mixture!
Today the trees, fences are so beautiful to look at .. they are so full of snow. It's amazing how theirs so much beauty outside right now, but with all that beauty out there... I have to do some shoveling !!!
Today's article details what truly is a turning point for virtually everyone trying to sell ANYTHING to ANYONE online. This is a REAL "turning point" in the history of the Internet because this is when the most powerful Web technology just got EASY for all us little guys (who don't have a huge company, an IT dept. or a big budget).
What Jim talks about will do for ONLINE VIDEO what Amazon did for books and what eBay did for auctions... it's that HUGE!

The trend for selling video on the Internet "vending-machine-style" got a huge boost with the announcement by search giant, Google, that their online video store opened for business.
On the surface, it appears they'll just sell old episodes of the "Brady Bunch," "Twilight Zone" and NBA games you missed.
However, on closer inspection, Google's online Video Store represents a whole-scale shift in communications power.
For those of you who might have missed it, let me quickly catch you up.
Last year, Google started publishing TV news content on their http://video.google.com site.
A short time later, they started accepting content from anyone with a video camera and something to show.
In very little time, Google started developing a huge grab bag of everything from community access TV clips to video game instructions to yoga tips - all on video streaming over the Internet.
In my opinion, this first stage served the purpose of gauging market interest and whether enough people would submit /watch video to make it worth taking the next step (selling video online).
Obviously, Google thought enough people had enough interest in consuming video online, because Friday, January 6, 2006 they announced the opening of their Video Store at http://video.google.com.
The store functions like a virtual vending machine, allowing visitors to stream video right on their computer screens.
If the copy protection is turned off, Google also enables users to download some paid video to their iPods and Sony PSPs to view on the go.
The individual publishers of the video content determine whether the copy protection gets turned on or off.
Also, content publishers determine the prices for their videos but, at the moment, most video still comes free of charge.
I will say, however, that Google's video service isn't perfect, but it works and, like everything else they do, it will get better because they operate with enough cash to make it work (if consumers want it).
With that said, what does all this mean to the individual content provider / information marketer?
What does this mean for distribution and consumption of video content?
First, it opens up a distribution channel for small content publishers (1-man shows) who could create excellent content, but, until now, lacked the technical expertise or server resources to deliver the video over the Web.
Second, it allows content providers to target micro-niche audiences who cannot be reached profitably through traditional advertising or distribution channels (Wal-Mart doesn't carry "Chihuahua Training Tips" videos).
Third, it creates a unique outlet for individual creativity like never before and will expose consumers to a whole new world of thought and content.
Though the service has its detractors, the video isn't high-definition, and the system has some kinks to work out, Google Video's approach will win out in the end.
Google's model has always been to "keep it simple!"
By making it simple for consumers to find and view video, as well as making it simple for content providers to upload and distribute video, Google will find itself at the center of an online video revolution comparable to the "golden age" of television in the early 1950s.

Simple Survey Leads To Big Profits Online
Welcome to Flo's Business & Fun Blog
Yesterday the wind was coming from the west and it was wicked !!! I'm surrounded by lakes so when it comes from over Lake Huron... it's cold. Spanish has a nice port for tourists, in the summer I like walking, watching the boats come in. Many times throughout the summer theirs a lot of excitement at the port... it makes it a special day with lots of fun!
In today's article it's about how any business can benefit from conducting a survey. The information You get is priceless if You operate a business, it's a fastest way to do it! Simply asking your customers and prospects what they want and then give it to them.
When conducting a survey (online or offline) Jim is sharing how it's critical to remember three points...

Success online follows a simple formula...
"Ask and you shall _______."
Most people fill in the blank with "receive". Not only is it a well-known phrase from the Bible, but it's also a very powerful online marketing principle.
If you operate a business and want to sell massively more products and services quickly, the fastest way to do it is by simply asking your customers and prospects what they want... and then give it to them.
In the past, gathering critical research information through customer surveys represented a very time-consuming, expensive and labor-intensive process available only to large organizations.
However, with inexpensive online tools, even a one-person business can now quickly and easily conduct powerful surveys to discover exactly what customers want - and then give it to them.
Virtually any business can benefit from conducting a survey because the information you get is priceless for your planning purposes.
Do you know what your customers plan to purchase next? (If you did, you could be the one to sell it to them!)
Do you know why they've purchased from you in the past? (If they've bought once, they'll buy again for the same reason!)
Do you know what other products and services they have purchased from your competitors and why? (So you can be the one they buy from next...)
Knowing the answers to those three questions could literally transform your whole business plan (and wallet) overnight!
The sad fact is most business owners just *guess* what their customers want. Sure, they might make an educated guess based on past experience, but it's still just that -- a guess.
By conducting a survey you don't guess what people want -you *know* what people want!
When conducting a survey (online or offline) it's critical to remember these three points:
1. Keep your survey short and sweet.
People don't want to spend more than a couple of minutes answering your questions.
I personally try never to ask more than 6 questions and they are always "yes/no", multiple-choice questions that don't take much time.
Short questions also allow you to get instant "gut-level" reactions from people, which is helpful in figuring out what people will buy. People purchase on emotion, so a fast response will show you their true feelings on a subject since they don't have time to think about it.
2. Give people a "bribe" for taking the survey.
You will increase response rates by 1,500% (15 times) or more by offering people a reward in exchange for 2 minutes of their time to take your survey. With so many time constraints, giving people a "perk" for giving you some of their valuable time will make the difference between getting a dozen responses and getting several hundred.
3. Use simple, easy-to-understand questions.
When first surveying any group, you simply want to know what they like/dislike, will/won't buy in the future, have/haven't bought in the past.
As you get to know a group better, you can ask more detailed questions, but also make sure you offer better bribes if you expect people to take even more time answering your questions.
When choosing an online survey tool to help you administer your survey, make sure it meets the following criteria:
· It should require no programming on your part. You want to just plug in your questions and have it generate all the code, etc. so you can copy and paste it into a web page and send it out.
· It should automatically calculate all survey results for you in 'real-time' so you don't have to manually calculate responses. Do not get stuck doing "number crunching" because your survey tool doesn't automatically calculate results.
· It should send a "thank you" letter to people taking your survey so you can send them a "gift" for participating.
Thanking people for participating goes a long way toward leaving them with a favorable impression of you, as well as setting the stage for both your next survey and your next sale.

You NEED to Know!
5 Things You NEED to Know About Your AOL 9.0 Subscribers
Welcome to Flo's Business & Fun Blog
Hope You had yourself a great night! It's not a very nice today and I need to drive to Elliot-Lake to do some business. Anyhow, I've decided to post the "General Superstitions" on Friday's... I have 5 parts to post so I think the last day of the week is a good idea.
Today's article is good information for the want to be webmaster that will have a newsletter and the novice webmaster that sends out newsletters to their lists. I myself did not know this information .. I don't have AOL mailbox! When my site is publish and I send out my newsletter, I will be prepared for my AOL subscribers so they may also receive my newsletter.
Alexandria is sharing a few things you should know to make sure that your AOL subscribers are receiving YOUR e-mails...

5 Things You NEED to Know About
Your AOL 9.0 Subscribers
by Alexandria K. Brown
"The E-zine Queen"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
In Fall 2003, America Online (AOL) released its brand new AOL Version 9. (Have you noticed all the TV ads?) AOL estimates that up to 50% of their users were using the new version by the end of December 2003.
The biggest new feature with AOL 9 is its aggressive method of reducing unsolicited e-mail (spam) for its users. Basically, AOL wants users to customize their own inboxes and view or receive only the messages that they choose.
While the crackdown is a noble endeavor, it puts legitimate e-mail publishers in the crossfire -- people like us who have worked hard to ensure that everyone on our list has opted-in and given us permission to contact them repeatedly.
To make sure that your AOL subscribers are receiving YOUR e-mails, here are a few things you should know.
1. All Your Graphics Are Blocked by Default
AOL has taken the drastic measure of blocking all graphics from being displayed in HTML e-mails, as well as deactivating the links for any new messages sent to an AOL 9 inbox. The system is also designed to "learn" what messages are repeatedly marked as spam, and they will eventually be sent to the junk folder automatically, once it maps the user's behavior.
When an e-mail is received in AOL 9, users have to click a link at the top of each message to view any graphics within your e-mail ("Show Images & Enable Links"). If this action is not taken, images (e.g. pictures, logos) and links will not be displayed or enabled.
2. Your Open Rates Are Likely Affected
If your e-mail publishing system uses "open tracking" to count how many people open your e-mails, you will start seeing lower numbers because the new AOL 9 also blocks open tracking tools by default. (Read on to learn how to improve your results.)
3. Ask Your Subs to Add You To Their Address Book
At the top of each issue you send, remind those AOL folks to put you in their AOL address book. For example, "AOL 9 users: Please add Alexandria@EzineQueen.com to your address book so you'll be sure to receive every issue of our e-zine".
Once a user puts you in her address book, all your future e-mails will automatically show images and functioning links. This will also allow the e-mail to be tracked properly as "opened" on your end.
4. Make Sure Your FROM Address is Consistent
This shouldn't be a problem unless your list server/e-mail publishing program generates a different FROM address with each e-mail you send. For example, today I got an issue of an e-zine with this FROM address: 16863-return-90-86968736@lb.bcentral.com. But when I looked at the LAST issue of the same e-zine two weeks ago, the return address had some different numbers in there.
This is BAD, because even if the AOL user adds you to her address book, every issue you send will be categorized as from a new sender. By having a consistent FROM address, you'll allow your AOL 9 subscribers to add your e-mail address into their address book, and all future e-mails you send will be easily received and tracked.
NOTE: There is a difference between your actual FROM address and what some call the "from LABEL". My e-zine's actual FROM address is Alexandria@EzineQueen.com, but it's labeled as from "E-zine Queen".
If you use Outlook or Eudora, you know what I mean. In your inbox list, you see all the from LABELS and not the actual e-mail addresses. For example, you see "John Smith" instead of jsmith2000@hotmail.com.
AOL does NOT show its users your from label, it only shows your true FROM address. You can usually access and change these settings in your e-mail publishing program. If you're not sure how to do this, talk with your vendor.
5. Bottom Line: Never Rely on Images to Convey Your Message
You can be sure that not all your AOL users will bother to put you in their address book, or understand how easy it is to do.
So here's the bottom line: Have fun with graphics and images in your HTML e-zine, but never rely on them to get your message across. Once each issue is complete and ready to send, look at it and pretend all the graphics are gone. Can your readers still instantly recognize it's a publication? Do they see it's from you? Is it obvious to them this is what they signed up for? If not, be sure to add text at the top to make things crystal clear.
I also recommend that if you don't have AOL yourself, get an account and put that e-mail address on your subscriber list. This will allow you to see how the new AOL 9 works and how your e-zine appears.

You can be sure that not all your AOL users will bother to put you in their address book, or understand how easy it is to do.
So here's the bottom line: Have fun with graphics and images in your HTML e-zine, but never rely on them to get your message across. Once each issue is complete and ready to send, look at it and pretend all the graphics are gone. Can your readers still instantly recognize it's a publication? Do they see it's from you? Is it obvious to them this is what they signed up for? If not, be sure to add text at the top to make things crystal clear.
I also recommend that if you don't have AOL yourself, get an account and put that e-mail address on your subscriber list. This will allow you to see how the new AOL 9 works and how your e-zine appears.

General Superstitions

To wash in water, which has been previously used by someone else means that you will quarrel with him, unless you clasp your hands together over the water when you have finished.
Never pour water into a tumbler which already holds some, for it is an invitation to evil spirits to visit you.
Never pour water into a tumbler which already holds some, for it is an invitation to evil spirits to visit you.
Women should not whistle, for it encourages evil spirits to visit them.
Spilling wine is an auspicious omen, if it is done accidentally; while to drop a glass of wine and break the glass is a token of a happy marriage and enduring affection.
When you are talking to someone, and if you should both happen to say the same word or sentence at the same time, you must each clasp the other's little finger and wish. Then, if you do not disclose your wish, it will be fulfilled.
People once believed the soul could escape from the body when a person sneezed. To stop this from happening, people ask God to bless and so to protect the person who sneezes.
People with hiccups were once thought to be possessed by the devil.
Yawning is caused by the devil so evil spirits enter your body when your mouth is wide open. Covering your mouth stops the evil spirits.
Watching someone else yawn makes you to yawn.
An itchy nose means your going to have a quarrel with someone.
Spit on your hands for strength. This originated from seeing animals lick their wounds, making people think saliva had some magical healing power.
To get rid of a cough, take a hair from the coughing persons head, put it in between two slices of buttered bread, feed it to the dog, and say - eat well you hound. May you be sick and I be sound.
To stop cramps, carry certain animal bones on your body. Another cure is to lay your shoes on your stomach, across the cramp.
Cross your fingers to make wish. Bad luck is trapped at the point where the two fingers meet so when we cross our fingers, we stop the bad luck from escaping and allow our wishes to come true.
Fingernail clippings must not be left behind. Fingernails can be used to cast spells on their owner, so they must never be left around for the evil spirits to find. They should be burned or buried instead.
An acorn should be carried to bring luck and ensure a long life.
An acorn at the window will keep lightning out.
Amber beads, worn as a necklace, can protect against illness or cure colds.
Seeing an ambulance is very unlucky unless you pinch your nose or hold your breath until you see a black or a brown dog.
Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.
If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.
To predict the sex of a baby: Suspend a wedding band held by a piece of thread over the palm of the pregnant girl. If the ring swings in an oval or circular motion the baby will be a girl. If the ring swings in a straight line the baby will be a boy.
Spit on a new bat before using it for the first time to make it lucky.
If you make a bedspread, or a quilt, be sure to finish it or marriage will never come to you.
Placing a bed facing north and south brings misfortune.

General Superstitions

To let fall an egg and smash it foretells good news; but if the egg is undamaged or merely cracked, bad luck is to be feared. When you have finished eating an egg it is a safeguard against misfortune if the empty shell is crushed with a spoon. If you burn eggshells, the hens will cease to lay. It is unlucky to take eggs out of, or bring them into, a house during the hours of darkness. Eggs laid on Good Friday never become stale.
When eating a fish, you should begin at the tail and work towards the head.
To cross two forks accidentally is a sign that slander will be spread about you. To drop a fork foretells the visit of a woman friend. To stir anything with a fork is to stir up misfortune.
It is a warning of treachery if a person's garter comes undone. If a girl loses a garter, a proposal of marriage at an early date is foretold.
To break uncolored glass in any form but that of a mirror or a bottle is a fortunate omen; but if the glass is red, future trouble and anxiety are implied. If green glass is broken, bitter disappointment will be your lot.
If you knock your hand accidentally against a piece of wood or a wooden article, it is an indication that you are about to have a love affair. If you knock your hand against iron, however, it must be taken as a warning against treachery.
Tying a knot in one's handkerchief is a means of warding off evil.
Finding a horseshoe is an assurance of good luck, but if you give it away or throw it away, your luck will leave you.
If after leaving your house, you turn back to fetch something, you must sit down when you get indoors and count backwards from seven, in order to avoid ill luck. It is unlucky to move into a new house during the months of April, July, and November.
If, before you retire to bed, you chants Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Bless the bed that I lie on, it will keep away evil spirits and ensure your good health.
If someone is lying dangerously ill, a lighted candle should be placed in a shoe, and all other lights in the room turned out. Then the name of the complaint from which the person is suffering must be written on a piece of paper and burned in the candle flame, and at the same time the following rhyme should be said three times: Go away death! Go away death! Life from the flame Give new breath I the candle must then be snuffed with the fingers.
The dropping of a knife foretells the visit of a man friend in the near future.
If someone lends you a pocket-knife, return it in the way in which it was given; that is, with the blade open or shut, pointing away from you or towards you.
Lightning will never strike a person when he is asleep, nor will it visit a house in which a fire is burning.
The days of the week on which it is considered most lucky for women to make any important decision or to undertake any great tasks are Tuesday and Friday. For men the fortunate days are Monday and Thursday.
To spill matches is a very lucky sign, and if a girl accidentally upsets an entire box it will not be long before she becomes a bride. Crossing two matches by chance implies that joy and happiness await you.
When you have occasion to turn the mattress of a bed remember that if you turn it from foot to head, you'll never wed, and also that this task should never be performed on a Friday.
If a girl's petticoat or slip shows below her dress, she is loved more by her father than by her mother.
Always pick up a pin when you see one lying on the floor, for See a pin and pick it up All the day you'll have good luck; See a pin and let it lie Luck will surely pass you by. To upset a box of pins foretells a surprise, so long as some of them are left.
If you give anyone an empty purse he will never be blessed with riches. Place a coin inside it for luck.
Breaking one blade of a pair of scissors is an omen of quarreling and discord; if both blades are broken at once; a calamity is to be feared. . Scissors should always be sold; they should never be given.
A seventh son possesses many talents and is predestined for worldly success. The seventh son of a seventh son is gifted with the art of healing. The seventh daughter of a seventh daughter possesses the power of second sight.
If you do not present a new pair of shoes to a poor person at least once during your life, you will go barefoot in the next world.
If your shoelace persists in coming untied, take it as an omen that you are about to receive a fortunate letter or some kind of good news.
To sneeze to the right is a promise of money, but sneezing to the left means a disappointment will soon come.
If soot bums in a ring at the back of the grate, pleasure and happiness are on their way to you.
Malice and envy are to be feared when sparks jump out of the fire.
Dropping a spoon means that a child or young person is going to call on you. To cross a spoon over fork presages happiness cut short by grief.
To put on your stockings or socks inside out is an omen that you will shortly receive a present. If your stocking comes down, your lover is thinking of you.
If thirteen people sit down to dine, the last to rise will meet with ill fortune.

General Superstitions
by Craftie Linda
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You'll 'cut off' fortune if you use scissors on new years day.
Coral beads are said to change color indicating whether the wearer is ill or well.
Nails should be bitten, not cut, for the same time, for that would make them thieves.
If you go to the bathroom in the night with no clothes on, insects will fall on you.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.
If you want to see a friend again, then don't ever say goodbye to them on a bridge.
Never take a broom with you when moving house - buy a new one.
If you see a chimney sweep then shake his hand so that some of his good luck rubs off onto you.
Seeing a single crow is very unlucky. But 2 mean good luck! 3 means health, 4 means wealth, 5 is sickness & 6 mean death!
If your ear is burning, then someone is talking about you. To determine whether what they are saying is good or bad, remember this rhyme, - Left for love, Right for spite!
If the palm of your right hand is itchy, then it foretells that money is coming to you, but don’t scratch it as that stops the money from coming! If it’s your left palm that is itchy, then scratch away, as that means that you'll soon be paying out money.
If you see a magpie, remember this rhyme - One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a girl, Four for a boy, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret, Never to be told.
How you start the year is how you will end it, so you must ensure that you are wearing new clothes & looking your best, have paid off all your debts & are with your partner (to ensure that you are still with them at the next New year). Also you must open.
Dropping a pair of scissors is said to warn that a lover is unfaithful.
Never place shoes on a table as it means bad luck for the remainder of the day.
A bride must sew a swan’s feather into her husband’s pillow to ensure fidelity.
You must knock on wood 3 times after mentioning good fortune or the evil spirits will ruin things for you.
See a penny, pick it up; all day long you’ll have good luck.
Don’t break a mirror, or you’ll have seven years bad luck.
Don’t wash clothes on New Year’s Day, or somebody in your family will pass away.
Don’t walk under a ladder, or somebody will have an accident;
Don’t hit anyone with a broom, or it will make him or her lazy.
IF YOU BELIEVE IN A SUPERSTITION, IT WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW YOU!
If the head of a bed is placed towards the north it foretells a short life, towards the south a long life, the east riches, the west travel.
Bad Luck: to leave bellows lying on the table or on the floor, since in such a position they presage domestic quarrels.
One's life is prolonged if, in later years, a visit is made to one's place of birth.
If you burn beef bones by mistake it is a sign of much sorrow to come on account of poverty. To burn fish or poultry bones indicates that scandal will be spread about you.
To cut bread in an uneven manner is a sign that you have been telling lies.
The best time for cutting one's corns is when the Moon is on the wane.
If a front door does not face the street, ill luck will attend the house. You should always close a front door with your face towards it.

Welcome to Flo's Business & Fun Blog
We sure had a bad day yesterday .. it rained all day and it made the roads and everything else very slippery! I went to Espanola which is 40 minutes away and the roads was not nice at all. When I came home at 5:00 pm the roads were getting covered and a little dangerous .. in my driveway I almost got stuck!
Here's my own scoop...
Provided by James Washington an Adland Friend

In today's article Jim is sharing some "scoops" on the web .. quite interesting! It's a "grab bag" of several interesting stories, including how You can now do "video conferencing" through the Web...

* Sony Offers "VoIP" *
Electronics giant, Sony, jumped on the VoIP (Voice over IP) bandwagon recently to offer long distance calls through the Internet.
They join a long list of providers competing for your Internet phone call business, including: Skype, Google, and AOL.
Sony claims their service includes a video component that rates superior to all other offerings.
Their IVE (Internet Video Everywhere) can also make video calls to video enabled mobile phones, telephones and other devices intended for video conferencing.
In fact, the IVE "Meeting Room" enables you to hold video conference calls with up to six users just as you would a regular telephone conference call.
Users also receive a unique "video phone number" which other users can call and, if you don't answer, leave you a video message.
The basic plan comes free of charge and goes as high as $20 a month for the group calling and video "meeting" room features.
* Camtasia Alternative *
Camtasia software rates as the 800-lb. gorilla of the screen-capture software market.
It enables you to capture your screen, narrate the action, and publish your videos in multiple formats (including publishing to FLASH for streaming on the Web).
Unfortunately, Camtasia comes with a stiff $300 price tag which often inhibits the casual user from getting the software.
A less expensive alternative can be found at www.AimOneSoft.com which publishes the Aim One Screen Recorder.
This software captures either the full screen, window, or a fixed region of your screen as an AVI or WMV video file.
This type of software can make the creation of software tutorials and other computer training a breeze.
The one drawback to the software is that it does not convert to flash, so that limits your video delivery over the Web to the WMV file format (which will exclude MAC users).
* Urban Legends Reference Page *
Log on to www.Snopes.com and find a wealth of just the type of information that nobody should pass along to anyone else.
Bill Gates giving away a million dollars if you forward this email to 12 people?
AOL offering free housing to all Web designers?
Yahoo and Google founders set for a mud-wrestling match next Saturday with a live simulcast on both sites?
Do you need to drink 8 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration?
The Web makes it almost too easy to create and pass along rumors, legends and outright falsehood (along with destructive "info-viruses" that cause people to delete important files from their computers and encourage unwitting friends to do the same).

When I came home at 5:00 pm the roads were getting covered and a little dangerous .. in my driveway I almost got stuck!
Here's my own scoop...
Provided by James Washington an Adland Friend
*Cell Phone DO NOT CALL LIST

* Sony Offers "VoIP" *
Electronics giant, Sony, jumped on the VoIP (Voice over IP) bandwagon recently to offer long distance calls through the Internet.
They join a long list of providers competing for your Internet phone call business, including: Skype, Google, and AOL.
Sony claims their service includes a video component that rates superior to all other offerings.
Their IVE (Internet Video Everywhere) can also make video calls to video enabled mobile phones, telephones and other devices intended for video conferencing.
In fact, the IVE "Meeting Room" enables you to hold video conference calls with up to six users just as you would a regular telephone conference call.
Users also receive a unique "video phone number" which other users can call and, if you don't answer, leave you a video message.
The basic plan comes free of charge and goes as high as $20 a month for the group calling and video "meeting" room features.
* Camtasia Alternative *
Camtasia software rates as the 800-lb. gorilla of the screen-capture software market.
It enables you to capture your screen, narrate the action, and publish your videos in multiple formats (including publishing to FLASH for streaming on the Web).
Unfortunately, Camtasia comes with a stiff $300 price tag which often inhibits the casual user from getting the software.
A less expensive alternative can be found at www.AimOneSoft.com which publishes the Aim One Screen Recorder.
This software captures either the full screen, window, or a fixed region of your screen as an AVI or WMV video file.
This type of software can make the creation of software tutorials and other computer training a breeze.
The one drawback to the software is that it does not convert to flash, so that limits your video delivery over the Web to the WMV file format (which will exclude MAC users).
* Urban Legends Reference Page *
Log on to www.Snopes.com and find a wealth of just the type of information that nobody should pass along to anyone else.
Bill Gates giving away a million dollars if you forward this email to 12 people?
AOL offering free housing to all Web designers?
Yahoo and Google founders set for a mud-wrestling match next Saturday with a live simulcast on both sites?
Do you need to drink 8 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration?
The Web makes it almost too easy to create and pass along rumors, legends and outright falsehood (along with destructive "info-viruses" that cause people to delete important files from their computers and encourage unwitting friends to do the same).
The next time you hear something that sounds odd (such as Microsoft is preparing to market the "iLoo", and Internet capable toilet), you should log on to Snopes.com and check it out before taking it as "truth."
A few keywords in the search box will let you track down any errant stories and check your facts before passing along the message to your friends.

More of a Team!
You Have More of a Team than You Might Think
Welcome to Flo's Business & Fun Blog
Hope You had yourself a great night !!! Today we are having rain .. it will not be pleasant later when it will freeze!
I've been taking my nights off the computer these days for more time to myself. I find it's working out real good .. I'm more refreshed and I think much better than when I work very long hours. So if You stay on the computer for long hours than consider cutting your time... you'll see a big difference when returning to work.
Today's article is about solopreneurs that often don’t feel part of a team .. most don’t even think they HAVE a team. Michael shares how You may not be as alone as You thought !!! Even if you're a solopreneur, You DO have a team see for yourself...

Many of our subscribers and members are entrepreneurs and small business owners.
And unlike people who work in larger organizations, solopreneurs often don’t feel part of a team. Most don’t even think they HAVE a team.
But they do.
Here at SuccessNet, we have only two employees. The rest are all independent contractors. But even then, there are others on the team that you might not think of at first.
Our accountant, banker, joint venture partners, affiliates, advisors and mastermind partners all round out the SuccessNet team.
When I first started almost ten years ago, I invited some trusted friends and associates to be on my advisory board. And I’ve almost always had a mastermind team with whom I meet weekly.
It may not take a village, but it does take a team.
I’ve never heard an honest person get up and take all the credit for any success. They know their success is the result of the efforts of many others. They thank their families, their coaches, agents, assistants and many more. The days of accomplishing anything of import without the support of others are gone.
Who’s on YOUR team? Think about everyone who contributes to your operation. The person who works on your computer and your network, your suppliers and even your cell service representative are important pieces of your organization. There may be dozens who you may not have considered part of your team.
When you start thinking of them in this way—and get THEM thinking like this—you'll be able to make even more progress. In addition, it will help you not to feel so alone.
Action Point
Enroll every member of your team in your vision and your mission. Make sure they understand what you want and why you want it. Think of them—and treat them—like team mates. It’s part of the new economy and the new business paradigm.

In today's article it's about ways to increase your website traffic with other people's traffic. Jim is sharing his secrets that helped him make many sales and build his large lists very quickly and with zero cash up-front...

Skyrocket Website Traffic With "OPT"

If you are looking for an immediate increase in your website traffic, and you don't want to shell out a lot of money for pay-per-click search engines, I'll let you in on a secret that has helped me make many sales and build large lists very quickly with zero cash up-front: it's called "OPT" (Other People's Traffic).
Other website operators have the targeted website visitors you need right now - you just have to convince them to funnel some of it your way. Your mission is to find people who can refer you their traffic either for a percentage of the sale, a flat fee, a trade for services, or on a per-click basis.
NOTE: I prefer to pay people a big percentage of the sale -as much as 50% - because it has the lowest risk for me as the merchant. I only pay when a sale is made and, therefore, I make it well worth someone's while to work with me. That's the whole idea behind a successful affiliate program.
The quickest way to find people who can refer you traffic is to take inventory of whom you know. Who operates a site drawing the type of visitors you need?
For example, if you have a website that sells fishing lures, then you want to find ezines, websites, and discussion groups dealing with fishing rods, tackle boxes, fish hooks, fishing trips, fishing supplies, etc.
Get the picture?
Once you have exhausted the list of people you know, go to the search engines and do a search for the keywords that would bring targeted traffic to your site. Make a list of the websites that rank well in those searches and approach those individuals with related, but non-competing sites about a traffic deal.
To continue the above example, that means go to the search engines and do searches for "fishing rods", "fishing trips" and related keywords to your site to find others who already have the traffic you need, but who don't directly compete with you.
Try to work all your agreements on a traffic trade or per-sale basis first so you won't have to pay any cash out of pocket until after a sale is made.
If you don't have any traffic to trade, or they don't want to get paid by the sale only, then you should negotiate a per-click or per-signup deal.
Paying by the click or by the signup means you only pay when a visitor comes to your site or signs up to receive your newsletter or other information. With this structure you only pay for performance and don't waste any money on advertising that doesn't directly result in bringing visitors to your site.
You have 3 main choices for funneling another site's traffic to yours: endorsed mailings, pop-up windows, and link trades.
1. Endorsed Mailings
Endorsed mailings are by far the best way to funnel traffic from another site. A well-written endorsement letter by a website operator who already has a relationship with people who can buy from you is often worth its weight in gold. An effective endorsed mailing can result in traffic, sales, and money in your pocket within just a few hours of sending it.
2. Pop-Up Windows
Focused "pop-up" windows represent the next fastest way to funnel traffic to your site. When used incorrectly, pop-up windows create an annoying distraction for web surfers. Make sure your pop-up windows are relevant to exactly what visitors came to your site for in the first place!
My experiments have shown that a "pop-under" works best. This is where your website pops behind the other person's page. Go to www.7dayebook.com for an example. You'll see my other ebook, "eBook Secrets Exposed," pop *under* the 7 Day eBook site.
When the visitor is finished viewing the main page and closes it... your page is right there!
TIP: For maximum sales, make sure that your page is closely related to the page that is referring traffic to you.
3. Link Trades
The next way to funnel traffic from other sites is using "Reciprocal Links" - which is a fancy way of saying trading links with someone. Make sure you negotiate a high profile spot for your link on the other person's site.
Creativity is key when negotiating with other websites to steer some or all of their traffic your way. Show them how sending you traffic will make them money through affiliate commissions, how their readers will appreciate being introduced to new and valuable products (yours), or how you can open a new stream of income for them by paying them a few cents for every unique visitor they refer to you.
They win by making extra money and making their customers happy. You win by attracting traffic to your site that is focused and highly targeted to your offers.
Creating win-win scenarios like these will cause people to jump at the chance to work with you and send you all the "OPT" you can handle.
