1. A Few Easy E-mail Rules To Avoid Spam Complaints

A Few Easy E-mail Rules To Avoid Spam Complaints

E-mail marketing has become the most efficient and cost-effective method to build and maintain relationships with your customers. But most people dread using email marketing because they fear being called a spammer. These fears can now be put to rest quickly by understanding the rules. This article will inform you how to conduct an e-mail campaign the correct way and help you avoid the worst thing that can happen to a marketer "Blacklisted by your ISP"

The Privacy Policy

Always continue to assure your clients and customers that the relationship with them is sacred and personal, and any information they share with you absolutely will no be disclosed to any third party. By using statements like "We respect your privacy," or "Your information will remain confidential," or "We'll never disclose your e-mail address" you will instill a feeling of trust among customers.

The Opt-In Method

One of the basic ways to obtain subscribers for your e-mail marketing subscriber list is the opt-in method. The Opt in list may also be called a permission based e-mail list. There are two kinds of opt-in lists: the single opt-in, wherein a person has to provide his e-mail address only once, and he's included on your list. Then there is the double opt-in approach, which is much preferred for preventing spam complaints.

With this method, after providing an e-mail address, a prospective client must click on a link in the e-mail , or form sent by you or your auto responder. Only then is he added to to mail list to receive e-mail from you. Both methods of sign up are appropriate, but it is usually the best idea to go in for a double opt-in method. Though you might lose a few clients who don't bother to click on link in the e-mail sent by you, it keeps your business safe from spam attacks.

The Unsubscribe Link

All potential subscribers and subscribers must be given the right to opt out of your e-mail marketing list. An unsubscribe link is required for this. This link is usually placed at the bottom of all the e-mail communications you send out. Giving customers this option makes them realize that you respect them, which in turn, translates into your gaining their confidence. More confidence means you get more business from them.

Avoid Words That Might Trigger Spam Filters

Words like 'free,' 'guaranteed,' 'cash,' or '$$$',also no { },( ) ,[ ] # % ,in the subject line often set off spam filters. Never attempt to copy and send a webpage or copy the web page code into an e mail. Sometimes too many punctuation marks might result in your e-mail being labeled as spam. Keep your language very simple, and avoid often repeated spam words, and you will avoid most of the pitfalls.

Play By The Rules

Learn the rules of your Internet Service Provider, best yet, use a mail sender program. This is important because not knowing them could get you banned from the server, if you fall into a spam trap. These were just a few simple ways to prevent being called a spammer. Now that you know them, you can implement them and start your e-mail marketing campaign with confidence.

Online Help for the Little Guy!


Have you been laid off due to the recession? Do you need additional money to pay your bills? Are you tired of your boss giving you a hard time everyday? Do you want to make money online but don't know how? Now there's hope for the "newbie" and the "little guy."

Building a presence on the Internet has never been easy, and even now, with the advent of high speed access and a level of intuitiveness that has never existed before, the Internet is still a very scary place for those who lack the necessary knowledge and technical skills to navigate the web. Yet even the totally uninitiated are beginning to understand that there is opportunity to be had in cyberspace, and they want to be a part of it. The question then becomes; how can they?

In our race to technological supremacy a few have been able to “get on top” of this broadening field and stake a claim for their piece of the pie, but there is a growing knowledge gap between the “techies” and those of us who are still looking for a way to take the first step to get started. Traffic Wizard Promotions was created specifically to address this growing demographic.

As a small but very agile Internet strategies and automated promotions business, we happily provide services that are designed to help those who are not familiar with the “ins and outs” of the Internet and the wired world of websites and ecommerce. Providing easily understandable and affordable services that the non-technical person can readily understand is our total focus. As the masses of non-professionals expand their effort to join the “information revolution”, and otherwise become participating members of the new “gold rush mentality” that the Internet has become, we at Traffic Wizard Promotions intend to become the much sought after alternative to either doing nothing, or paying the extreme high price of entry that exists today.

The march to the Internet starts with the ability to access it and even that can be a daunting task for some, but not with the tools and methods offered at Traffic Wizard Promotions. Beginning with TWP Ultra5 Easy Website Wizard, a site where almost anyone who has a computer and Internet access, can apply the services that are essential to Internet presence and potentially Internet stardom and success, and that is the establishment of a website and having it hosted on the Internet. Then, once that presence is established, help the Internet new comer to understand how to capture the power of that web presence through the use of free online video trainings and simple automated website submission and promotion tools. In addition to these powerful tools, The Traffic Wizard Promotions eStore is a one stop discount shop for all the incidentals that are part of the Internet scene, from domains, to hosting services, to specialized mailing and tracking products for the serious Internet marketer.

Above all, Traffic Wizard Promotions has totally embraced the plight of the “little guy” and will always strive to make the journey to the Internet as painless and profitable as possible. Toward that end, new and exciting tools and systems that will meet the needs and expectations of our customers and associates and further their capabilities will always be in the works.

5. Visualizing Success for the Newbie!

Visualization Marketing for the Newbie!


Visualize success in your life.....and it will happen.

Have you ever dreamed of having a successful online business? Most of us have, at one time or another. However, statistics show that less than 5% of individuals using the internet actually make money. This computes to 95% of the people who are online....don't make money. They are spending their money on junk....get rich quick schemes. They are chasing a rainbow....to find that the mythical pot of gold doesn't exist.

Why do so many people fail on the internet? It’s really a simple answer. They believe all the hype of getting filthy rich, then spending the rest of their life laying on the beach on some beautiful island and never working again. Be realistic folks. Who do you know that has accomplished this incredible feat? Nobody! Human beings dream of getting something for nothing and that’s what they get....absolutely nothing.

You’re not alone in your desires to become successful in life. All of us have that desire in one form or another. The difference in those who become successful and those who fail is quite elementary. Visualization! You must visualize your success....to become successful. If you don’t visualize success....you’re destined to failure.

I have had the honor to be a student of Butch Hamilton's and train with the "Master" in SEO procedures. I read one of Butch Hamilton’s articles recently on Visualization Marketing. What an eye opener. Butch stated “"I believe that visualization is the first step in achieving desired success. It is simply the act of thinking about what you wish to accomplish.” If this doesn’t change your outlook on Visualization Marketing, then your battery is probably already dead.

I applaud the statement Butch made “what we think is what we become”. How true this is. If we visualize success in our life....success will happen. Conversely, if we think we are going to fail....that's exactly what will happen in your life. You are what you think!

There have been numerous articles and books written about this concept. It’s nothing new....it’s just we don’t follow through on good advise most of the time. A book written many years ago....Think and Grow Rich…is a good example. Positive thoughts breed success. On the other hand Negative thinking not only affects you, but is contagious to everyone around you. Negative thoughts can be the death of your actions today....or your chances of success in the future.

You are the only one who can change a your negative thoughts. Surround yourself with positive individuals and see the immediate difference it will make in your life. Positive thoughts build confidence....and will create good things happening all around you. Negative thoughts will....immediately destroys any chance of future success.

The art and science of online marketing is all about visualizing your success. Don’t just think about it. Do it! This process is not an overnight happening. Depending on your abilities and efforts you put into your dreams....will forever impact the end results of your success.

Change your attitude....think positive....and visualize where your online journey will lead you. Whatever obstacles you must overcome....make it happen, commit to make that change right now. If you are around negative people....get new friends. If you need to get training....find the information to change your situation right now. Don't take advise from a looser and expect to be a sucess....it just won't happen.

Our group of professionals can help you in your “quest for success” with free, recorded and/or live online training. We'll teach you how to apply effective marketing tools to your venture which will automatically submit your product or service to over 2 millions sites, individuals, businesses, message boards, ffa's and more.....every single day. We will automatically post your site to search engines that provide the information to 98% +/- of all searches made each day by your potential clients.

Another quote from Butch that pretty well sums it up. "When I speak to others about visualization, this can act as the opposite just as effectively. If you are consistently thinking that you cannot be successful, cannot make money, cannot pay your bills and that you cannot achieve any type of success, then you will be exactly right. Your self talk can be your best friend, or your worst enemy." It’s your future that’s a stake here....you must make the right choices....or suffer the consequences of your decisions.

7. Learn theRight Way to Market your Business Opportunity

Learn the Right Way to Market your Business Opportunity!


Learn from your past....study new ideas today....make informed decisions about your future!

If you think back to your child hood for a moment and recall the dreams you had back then....what you wanted to do when you grew up....it’s kind of humorous sometimes isn't it? Each of us had a different dream. Each of us had a goal of what we wanted to become when we grew up. Most of the time the outcome of our lives is totally different than what we once thought it would be in our younger years. Why does this happen? The answer if very simple, because we don’t really know....where the journey of life is going to take us. We had no direction, we didn't’t know of all the things that would happen to us as we grew older. The old saying “older and wiser” is so true in most cases. Life situations has a dramatic impact on the outcome of our golden years.

We’ve all been guilty of trying to find that magic button....hoping to win the lottery....or find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....only to realize that it’s not going to happen. Sure there are some people who may have won the lottery or happen to be at the right place at the right time, or got lucky in some venture that made them a lot of money, however, think for a moment of how many people you know personally who this has happen to. Most of us don’t know anyone personally that has been so fortunate. Most of us have had to work hard to get where we are today.

In this modern world of technology, you can make a difference in your outcome in life. With the cost of living going up every day, we soon realize that sometimes we all need help to meet the everyday challenges life brings us. Expensive health care, food prices going up, children’s education expenses....rising gas prices....will it ever end?? NO!! How does one cope then? Many individuals are turning to the internet to generate additional income in these hard times. Many of the senior citizen community are getting involved in online marketing to supplement their retirement income they once thought would be adequate.

Most people don’t have a clue of where to begin an online marketing venture. How does a person get started in this vast world of the internet technology? These are fair questions, but where do you find the answers? Have you wasted money on junk programs that didn’t work? Most of us have gone thru the process of looking for the right niche market, and paying someone else to build a website and then found that no one came to the site and no one has bought your product or service. There is a reason that happens....no one knows that you exist in the vast maze of online marketing. You must make your presence known....how do you know which is a right way or wrong way? Ask a professional to advise you on the right marketing programs and help you implement a realistic plan that will assist you in accomplishing your personal goals and needs.

As a Search Engine Optimization Consultant, every day I am honored to help people just like you who needs help with some direction in their efforts to succeed on the internet. If you are one of those individuals who need’s direction, "we need to talk". You can visit some of my site and see for yourself some of the marketing tools that I use on a daily basis in my personal marketing efforts. Don’t try to do it alone, let the professionals help you in your “quest for success.”

Right now is probably the best time in the history of the internet to get involved in a profitable business of online marketing. With the new automated systems available today, you can achieve online success quicker and more effectively than you ever thought possible. Your childhood dreams are in the past....this is in the now....your future begins at this very moment. Make the right choices and enjoy the rewards of your own online business.

10. Veretekk offers a FREE Silver system!

Tips to Start your own Home Based Business!


When considering an online career, you must address some important issues before making that big plunge into the unknown world of online marketing. One question I often hear is....”where do I start?”

If you talk to 10 different people online, you’re going to get 10 different deals thrown at you quicker than you can blink an eye. Most of these deals don’t make money on the internet....they con family and friends or anyone else who might stumble onto their email web of hype and false promises.

Statistics show that less than 5% of the people on the internet make money. WHY? First of all most people are jumping from one program to another trying to find the Magic Button you hear about on TV. Let me tell you, my friend....success on the internet doesn’t happen that way. You must “learn the process.” It’s a process that takes time and devotion to become a reality in your life.

You may have an idea of what product or service you want to market on the internet. Do your due diligence and make sure whatever venture you get involved in is not a fly by night deal that is being hyped as the best thing since sliced bread. Ask yourself a few important questions. Does that project have a good track record? How long has it been in business? Can you verify results? If the answer is no to any of these questions…my advise is....don’t get involved.

Second you must have some knowledge of the venture you are pursuing. If you don’t have the facts…don’t try to fake it....”you must learn…before you can earn.” There is an organization who will teach you the process of becoming successful on the internet. The company I found and recommend to all my clients, is the Veretekk Marketing system. Veretekk offers more than 40 premier marketing programs, plus free online live training. The two main ingredients for online success are offered from one proven, affordable, successful, marketing company.

If you don’t have marketing knowledge....don’t buy it....you can get it for free. You can sign up for a Free Veretekk Silver system, attend the FREE training sessions and see if this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for, before you ever spend a nickel. Take advantage of their free training. If you like what you see, then you make the choice of whether to upgrade to their Gold program which covers all aspects of effective marketing. No one will try to push anything on you or sell you something. This is how you can learn a process of marketing effectively, that you can use for the rest of your life to generate multiple sources of income on the internet. Now you can get out of the corporate rat race and control the quality of your life and provide better things for those you love.

Success does not happen overnight....you must be committed to spend the time and to learn the process of effective online marketing. Without a commitment....you will never fulfill your dreams of online success. Make your dreams come alive, and enjoy the benefits of owning your own home based business. Experience the joys of no boss, no time clock, never be passed up again for a promotion or be discriminated against because of your age, color or faith. You become the one who controls your life and future of your family.

I invite you to visit some of my sites within the Veretekk system and see for yourself the quality of programs that will be yours when you join the Veretekk Silver. Veretekk is the leader in effective online training and marketing programs. These programs will become the tools of your future success. Only you can make an informed decision about your future.

Have you ever sat down and tried to figure out what it takes to own your own home based business? How much time will it require? How much money will it take?

These questions can go on and on as we sit and try to put together all the facts to make it work, but still don’t have a clue of what to do.

Did you finally recognize that, by the time your done thinking about all the negative things about starting your own business....you’re out of the mood. This is human nature. It takes a special person to hear about an opportunity....weigh the features and benefits....and then make a commitment to do something about it. Some make the choice rather quickly and others never make the decision to proceed. In all cases the decision is made with facts you know about this venture that will affect your future. Bad facts will lead to a negative choice. However, with the right information and facts, a positive choice will occur. Either way….you must make a decision. It’s your choice....make it wisely.

13. Mini Massesue Store Press Release

Mini Masseuse Store PRESS RELEASE:

TITLE:

The Mini Masseuse Company, has Forced Online Retailers with minimum Retail Price Fixing...OR ELSE!

Summary:      Mini Masseuse Co. of Walnut Shade, MO has set the minimum selling price for all Online Retailers, or the Company will NOT wholesale products to the dealer. ebay Dealers and other Retailers are exempt

For_Immediate_Release:

United States of America (Press Release) November 3, 2008 -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Melbourne Beach, FL

Milmacinc, the parent company of Mini Masseuse Store has just announced they will no longer market the Mini Masseuse massager after their current inventory is depleted. Accessories will be available by visiting our website. There are some disturbing factors that has brought about this unfortunate business decision.

On October 13, 2008, Shane, the sale representative for Mini Masseuse Company called the office of Mini Masseuse Store and demanded that the prices on Internet Retail Sales must be raised to a minimum of $119.95 for the Pro Series, or Mini Masseuse Store would not be able to purchase products wholesale from the Mini Masseuse Company. Mini Masseuse Company is the only wholesale source you can buy these units from.

Mini Masseuse Store is an independent dealer and has been purchasing wholesale from Mini Massesue Company and has been selling the massage units online since Sept 2004 for $59.95. Mini Masseuse Store has been very comfortable with their profit margin since beginning their affiliation with this company. The wholesale pricing has been constant and acceptable.

To be dictated by your wholesaler that an Independant Retailer make an extra $50.00 profit on each unit became very disturbing to the principles of Mini Masseuse Store. Mini Masseuse Store will not tolerate price fixing. Thus the decision to discontinue their relationship with Mini Masseuse Company is hereby announced.

Mini Masseuse Store has reduced their prices back down to the original price of $59.95 per unit until all the units are sold. Accessories will continue to be available by visiting our website.

Mini Masseuse Store was built on the marketing concept of a quality product for a fair price and service second to none. Even though wholesale prices have remained constant and the cost of doing business has increased, the Mini Masseuse Store had maintained their fair retail pricing in these hard economic times. Raising prices in a bad economy does NOT make sense.

The spokesperson with Mini Masseuse Company also stated that “this price increase demand was only for Online Sales and not for any eBay dealer or kiosk dealer in a Shopping Mall operation.” It was the opinion and feeling of the Mini Masseuse Store staff that they were being discriminated against.

Mini Masseuse Store wants the general public to be aware that Mini Masseuse Store does NOT endorse; nor will they tolerate price fixing (retail or wholesale), price gouging, or discrimination under any circumstances.

Mini Masseuse Store has filed complaints against Mini Masseuse Company with the Florida Attorney Generals office and the Missouri Attorney Generals office and is currently waiting on counsel as to whether other States, or the services of other agencies will be included in this action.

Mini Masseuse Store Staff will continue to support the value of the Mini Masseuse products. The products are excellent and the staff of Mini Masseuse Store will continue to represent the value of the Mini Masseuse Company products in a positive manner.

A Mini Masseuse Store spokesperson states “It is with deep regret this action must be taken since small business operations such as Mini Masseuse Store is the lifeblood of the American dream.”

Knowledge Equals Success on the Internet


Knowledge about marketing on the internet is imperative if you want to succeed on the internet!

Every morning when I go online and open my email box, there seems to be another “to good to be true” offering being made by some internet guru. With statements like, "It's a limited time offering and available only on the internet." In other words....it's another scam. As a layman, how do you tell what is good and what is bad?

As a SEO Consultant (search engine optimization consultant) I'm honored to talk to a lot of people about their future, and most of these individuals and businesses admit they have spent an incredible amount of time and money on what turned out to be nothing more than....you guessed it....another scam. One gentleman I talked to this week told me he had spent well over a thousand hours reviewing program after program and has yet to find a program that did what the advertisements say they will do.

Don’t feel bad, my friend, we’ve all been there and done that. Without the passing of stronger regulations on the internet, this process will continue on and on.

15. Marketing Online....Need Help?

Need Help...Marketing Online

If you are just getting started in the intriguing business of internet marketing, you are probably like most of us asking the question. “Where do I start?” This is a fair question that deserves an answer much longer than we can write in this article today.

I will share with you a couple of things that you must put at the top of your list to do, and do immediately before you waste a lot of time and money. Make this your #1 priority.

First of all be very cautious about believing all the hype of the guru’s that flood your mail box with statements like....”You can become a millionaire in a matter of days!” Don’t fall for this type of hype. It’s not going to happen. The time frame of becoming successful on the internet varies from person to person. With some folks it may take a year or two…with others it may take longer. Don’t put a time frame on your success.

Next, find a marketing plan that offers training in the art and science of marketing. You can spend thousands and thousands of dollars and an incredible amount of time looking for that magic button, which does not exist in the real world. With your limited experience you may find a program that you think may fill the bill, only to find that the program is so limited you need to purchase another program to pick up where that one leaves off. This cycle can go on and on and soon you will find that you have spent lots of your hard earned dollars on nothing but junk. Don’t feel bad…we’ve all been there and done that.

My name is Larry L. Miller, and I am a Search Engine Optimization Consultant. With my background in finance as an investment broker, I learned how to do the due diligence necessary to make informed decisions when making a commitment to purchase any product or service.

I had reviewed in my internet career literally hundred of marketing programs and I always come back to the Veretekk System. Why? Because the Veretekk Marketing System …works exactly as advertised.

The moderators are successful internet marketing professional who are willing to share with others, their personal ideas on successful marketing techniques. No one will try to promote you to join their business in these sessions. Recruiting is strictly forbidden in any training session by any instructor.

Proper marketing tools are an important ingredient to your online success.

With Veretekk you will be introduced to a whole tool box of effective marketing tools that are designed to promote any business venture you may be involved in.

19. Your First Step...to become a success on the Internet!

Your First Step....to become a success on the Internet!


Just having a good looking website on the internet is not going to get you noticed on the internet. Nobody knows who you are or, what your business is all about. You probably won’t make any money either. I am not trying to discourage you in any way. I’ve been right where you are....not knowing what to do or how to do it. I had no one to guide me. I didn't have the right marketing tools. I was like a dog....chasing it tail. Getting nowhere fast. Does this sound familiar at all?


You must work consistently and effectively if you want to show up in Google when someone is looking for your product or service. Since more than 70% of all individuals and businesses use Google to search for something....if you’re not in top positions with Google your not going to get noticed. No one knows that you or your business opportunity even exist unless you let them know.

20. Earn as you Learn

Earn as you Learn!

The art and science of online marketing is a process that each of us must learn. Without some form of guidance in this venture you are destined to spend an incredible amount of time and money on learning the process the hard way.

There are professionals who are willing and well informed who will help you in your “quest for success”. However, many of these individuals charge unheard of prices.....to tutor you in learning the process. Each of these individuals has a different take on what you should do and not do in order to accomplish your marketing goals.

How do you choose the right person to help you in this learning process? Call and talk to them one on one and ask some very important questions that you may have regarding your goals on the internet. If they won't talk to you or you can't get hold of them.....forget them and go to the next one. Listen carefully to the answers to you questions and then make an informed decision. You might want to talk to several marketers before making a choice. Many of these people are out for one thing and that is to talk you into their particular program. One must be very careful not to believe all the hype some of these marketers tell you. If it’s too good to be true.....it probably is. Due your due diligence before making your choices.

There is a company I found that offers Free Live Online Training. Veretekk Marketing has over 100 professionals who have learned the process of marketing online and are willing to share their knowledge with the new kid on the block.....you. These classes are voluntary and you can set in on a particular class of your interest as long as you like at… NO charge. You can even record the presentation if you like for your future reference. Did I mention the classes are.....FREE!?

I have been privileged to earn the right to be one of these instructors. Within the Veretekk Marketing system you can pick and choose the classes and instructors you like. Rest assured.....there is NO recruiting allowed in these classes. Recruiting you into one of their programs in any class is strictly forbidden. These classes are for information purposes only which will assist you on the proper way to market your product or service.

I invite you to visit some of my sites and see for yourself the kind of programs that Veretekk Marketing provides. If you decide to sign up in any of my sites, I would be honored to point you in the right direction so you can learn the process as soon as possible. Knowledge is golden.....so use the knowledge and.....Earn as you learn!

Thank you for your interest in learning the process the right way. Let me know if you have any additional questions or if you need some personal mentoring. I’ll be glad to help.

21. Need Help....Starting your own Home Based Business?

Need Help....Starting your own Home Based Business?

Promoting on the internet is not for everyone. Promoting takes a commitment of time, money and a lot of studying to make it all come together.

Those who are caught up in the fun things of life will need to put priorities on their daily activities in order to become successful on the internet. Forget about all of the get rich schemes being hyped on the internet today. “If it sounds too good to be true.....it probably is.”

One thing that has made this nation so great is all the hard work that people have dedicated their lives to. Nothing comes easy.....never has been and never will be. There is no easy button as you see on TV. There is no get rich scheme that I’ve found that will make you a millionaire overnight. It requires work…and lots of it. It takes a lot of learning to understand the process of making money on the internet.....it don’t just happen. Only you can make it happen.

You can search the web until your blue in the face and find all kinds of widgets, programs, and ideas that may sound like.....just the thing you need to make the difference in your life. Who knows? It just might be that missing link or the last piece of the puzzle.

As a Search Engine Consultant, I am blessed to be able to review many different offerings on a daily basis. I look at these offerings from the inside out.....doing the due diligence necessary to make an informed opinion. Most programs are flawed, limited and many times not worth reviewing at all. However, there are some exceptions.

One such exception is the total marketing program being offered by Veretekk Marketing. I’m not trying to sell you anything here.....I’m just sharing with you some critical information that could make the difference between success and/or failure in your future.

There are 41 marketing portals within the Veretekk system that covers everything you need for promoting your business opportunity to new and exciting positions on Google. Since over 70% of people search Google for information…it makes sense to learn the process from the Veretekk experts on how to gain those top positions on the search engines. Free live online training by over 100 certified instructors is included with the Veretekk system. Learn at your own pace. Attend classes over and over until you get the concept. There are no extra charges for attending these classes time and time again. Knowledge is power.....”learn to earn” with the experts. Sign Up for FREE!!

I invite you to visit some of my sites to see exactly what I’m talking about. Just click on any link and it will take you directly to my personal sites. Stay as long as you like and review the entire site.....make some notes and review again if necessary. If you still have some questions or need some personal mentoring you can contact me at the contact information listed below.

Thank you in advance for allowing me to be a part of your future success on the internet. Internet marketing is the wave of the future…why not be one of the masses that are joining this exciting frontier every day? You owe it to yourself to be informed, before making any commitment that will affect you and your family for the rest of your life.

22. Work from Home!

Work from Home


Working from home is the desire and goal for many people who are tired of the rat race in the everyday workplace.

There has been a lot of hype recently about this new trend in the media. As expected there are advertisements making some unreal statement about how easy you can make a million bucks a year….with no investment….no effort…..just sign up 2 people and within a short period of time you will be sitting on the beach on some exotic island sipping the latest and greatest tropical drinks. Think about it....before you get involved in any deal. Due your research....and make your choices wisely.

The old saying “if it sounds too good to be true…it probably is” couldn’t be more true. Anyone with the brain the size of a pea....should recognize this fallacy immediately. However, there are many people who get sucked into such scams and pay their hard earned money to some con man who is laughing all the way to the bank.

Just remember....”your success is a direct result of your efforts to make something happen”. It is not going to happen overnight. Depending on your ability to absorb information on a particular subject, you may be able to accomplish your goal very quickly. If you’ve not been exposed to the latest technology it may take you a lot longer than someone who has worked in the industry for a while. Don’t get discouraged in your efforts. Make a plan and follow that plan until you achieve the success you desire.

There are several companies who are legitimate and will provide you the help you need to get started. One such company that I found is the Veretekk Marketing system. The whole concept of Veretekk is to help the little guy or gal succeed in their business by using the proper marketing tools and training. With over 40 marketing tools in one package you can learn the process of marketing at your own pace. Veretekk has over 100 trainers who teach you the art and science of marketing for free. You check the class calendar and attend the classes that are important to you. You can attend these classes as often as you like. Did I mention....it’s FREE?

I invite you to visit some of my sites, and see for yourself the types of marketing portals that Veretekk offers. After your careful review you can contact me if you have any additional questions. If you need personal mentoring, I can help you in that area also. I can point you in the right direction to accomplish your goals quicker than if you try to learn everything before making that important decision to get started.

Now is a perfect time to get involved in the latest trend of working from home. Learn the right way with Veretekk and enjoy the personal rewards you deserve. Work your own time schedule....take your vacation when you want to and for as long as you like. It’s your life....enjoy it to the fullest. Call me at 321-594-4405 to set a no obligation appointment to discuss your future.

23. Home Based Business...It's NOT for everyone!

Home Based Business....It's NOT for everyone!

Many individuals today are considering an alternative to the normal 9 to 5 jobs that most of us have come to accept as the norm. More and more people are taking a close look at the possibilities of some type of a home based business. Working for yourself....not having to waste gas going back and forth to work. No fancy suits to buy....no springing for lunch for a co-worker who is out of cash. The list goes on and on. You know the drill!

There are a few things one must consider before making a commitment to take the plunge and work for yourself.

  1. Are you willing to make a commitment and devote the necessary time to work for yourself? Many individuals can never make that transition from working for someone else and punching a time clock everyday to the no time clock concept. If you can’t make that transition then you will probably not be able to succeed in this type of endeavor. Time management may have to be learned in order to be successful in your “quest for success” on the internet.

  2. Are you willing to devote the time necessary to get the proper training to market on the internet the right way? Just being on the internet doesn’t mean that you are going to make money. Less than 5% of the people on the internet make money on the web. How do those few individuals succeed….and other can’t? Because they have learned the art and science of internet marketing. They devoted the time to learn the process. This does not happen overnight. With some it will come easy and others of us it may seem like a straight up climb. If I can do it….anyone can.

  3. Without the knowledge of how to market you won’t know what tools you need to market effectively. Having the right tools is one of the most critical ingredients of successful marketing. Most of us have been guilty of spending an incredible amount of hard earned money on worthless marketing programs that promise the world….and then don’t live up to the promises made when you bought that worthless junk. Don’t feel bad….we‘re all guilty of this same “to good to be true” trap.

  4. Good ethics is something that comes from the heart. If you have questionable ethics….please do not join us on the internet! There are too many shady characters on the net already. If you’re interested in promoting smut on the internet….please….go away. We don’t need anymore smut jocks promoting their filth.

As an SEO Consultant, I found a company that I highly recommend to all of my clients. 1)Veretekk Marketing, is a company that teaches you the art and science of internet marketing. 2) They will teach you how to manage your time. 3) They will share with you the right marketing tools. 4) They will teach you how to hone your ethics and skills in internet marketing. There are over 100 professional trainers offering free live online training on subject matters covering all aspects of marketing. From the beginner to the professional….”you’re never alone with Veretekk.”

Veretekk Marketing shares with you a marketing blueprint that will permit you to make an informed decision of whether the idea of working for yourself is a good idea …..or not.

You can visit some of my sites, and see for yourself exactly what I’m talking about. After you have finished your review....you can contact me if you still have some questions. If you need personal mentoring feel free to contact me at the contact information below.

25. Lead Geneation made easy...with proper Marketing Tools!

Lead Generation made easy....with proper Marketing Tools.


Learn the process of marketing effectively and earn the financial rewards you rightly deserve!

Internet marketing is an art and science that only few people have mastered. How do you know that....you ask? Surveys show that less than 5% of people on the internet make money. This means that over 95% of the individuals on the net are spending the money.

Each of us is guilty of spending an incredible amount of money on the internet....trying to find that magic program that would make us rich. How much money have you spent on junk programs? Don’t feel bad....we’ve all done the same thing. The only difference is that some of us have found the only way to make money on the internet is the old fashioned way....work hard to learn....and then earn it. Make a personal commitment to LEARN THE PROCESS.

Every day I receive hundreds of junk e-mails....promising “become wealthy in 30, 60 or 90 days” with no work. Just sign up and we do all the work....and you will get these big huge checks deposited in your bank account! That's BULL!! and you know it. How many people do you know that has accomplished such a remarkable feat? No one!?!....I thought so. Let’s face it....it doesn't just happen. It takes work....I mean to consistently work the correct methods of marketing in order to make money on the internet.

Most of us never had the opportunity to learn the process. We didn’t know where to look. No one shared with us there was a right way and a wrong way to market on the internet. I know....for over 5 years I searched and bought every available program I could find trying to find the one program that would do the job I needed get done. That was to generate quality approachable leads.

One day while surfing the net....I stumbled on a free program that sounded like it was exactly what I was looking for....There was no hype....just facts about the program and what it was designed to do....that was to generate leads. You know as well as I do....if there are no leads....there are no sales. You may have the most beautiful website with all the bells and whistles....but without sales leads you business is doomed for disaster. The free program I mentioned earlier was the incredible Blastomatic program with Veretekk Marketing.

I used the free Blastomatic program (blasting 12 million ads per day) for a few days and then saw the value and the results I was getting by using this free system. I then upgraded to the Leadsomatic ad blaster (for only $10/month) and started blasting my business opportunity to over 2 Billion (that's right with a "B") sites per day. Within days....I started to get orders. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Marketing your product or service and aking money on the internet?

After such remarkable result....using the two Veretekk lead generating systems, I decided to really get serious about my marketing endeavors. I enrolled in the complete marketing system with Veretekk and I now use all 41 of their programs to promote my business opportunities. I make a living on the internet....using the no bull…no hype....marketing system with Veretekk.

I invite you to visit some of my sites....and see for yourself what true marketing is all about. I am not going to call you and twist your arm to do anything. I’m not going to sell, share or trade you personal information with anyone. I am here to help you in your “quest for success”. I am a Search Engine Optimization Consultant and if you're truly serious about your succes on the intennet, you can contact me for a free consult about your business opportunity and where you want your business to go.

28. Going for the Gold

Going for the Gold


Learn the art and science of "Going for the Gold" in your business career. Make a commitment to your future. Only you can make those choices and make it happen.

With the 2008 Summer Olympics starting in a couple of days, I sit and wonder what makes 100’s and 1,000’s of athletes from around the world converge on one location to compete to be the best in their field. Would you believe it’s a medal made of Gold on a colorful strap around their neck that they will probably never wear again in public once they leave that venue. Why would anyone work for years, 5, 10, 15 hours per day for weeks, months and years just to receive a medal worth just a few hundred dollars of gold as a prize? They could have worked a normal job and saved their money and been able to buy more gold than is in the medal and been able to enjooy the Gold jewelry every single day.

These individuals are driven by desire....to be the best in the world. Each one knows when he or she goes to these events they can be eliminated by someone who is better than they are. What drives them to be so successful? They have a dream, a vision if you will. They are focused, determined to be the best. Their success just don’t happen, their success is a result of a daily thought process of visualizing a goal, commiting to make it happen and practicing every day for hours on end, doing the same thing over and over until it becomes second nature in their thought process and actions.

Those who started the process and wasn’t driven enough to follow a discipline schedule didn’t make the cut. We can’t all be a winner. Even in Biblical times is states that all must run...some will run well, however, there can only be one winner. That person who is the best in the world....has earned the right to be called the best. It didn’t just happen. You are the only one who can make that decision regarding your future in life. What you did yesterday is history....today is a current event....and tomorrow is the future which is a direct reflection on the foundation you laid today. Make the right choices!

When marketing on the internet the principles of good work habits will bring success to those who are willing to put forth the efforts that breed success. Just because you started your internet marketing journey yesterday with a fancy website and lots of money to purchased the latest, greatest, get rich quick scheme to promote your opportunity....isn’t enough to become the winner overnight. Each of us must follow a similar process as the athlete who has committed his or her life if necessary to become the best of the best. Be willing to give blood, sweat and tears if necessary to make it happen.

Every single athlete at the Olympics has a coach. Each of these individuals must be willing to take the advice of someone who has earned the right to teach the process of becoming a successful athlete. The athlete must trust the coach and his or her judgment and instructions to help build not only the physical part of the process but the mental process to become the best in the world. You and I must also rely on a mentor who has been right where you are today and is willing to help you gain the instructions necessary for you to become successful in your marketing endeavors.

Just like the athlete, the process of successful marketing does not happen over night. You must have the same commitment as the participants in this remarkable event to become successful in your dreams of success. Butch Hamilton-SEO Master wrote several articles recently on visualization marketing. Think about where you are now....then visualize where you want to go with your career. Then commit to a plan....a dream if you will, of where you want to take this marketing venture. If you’re not willing to put in the time of learning the art and science of marketing....then don’t waste anymore of your time chasing rainbows. No commitment....No Gold.

As an SEO Consultant, a question that is often ask….”how quick can you get me a top position on Google?” The answer is very simple. There are no guarantees. Just like the contestants in this wonderful worldwide event....it’s going to take time, effort, practice and most of all commitment on your part to make it happen. Sit down and consult with a professional and follow their sound advice. Let someone coach you in your “quest for success”. If you need some personal mentoring....you can give me a call. Let’s talk about where you are now and where you want your future to go. Let’s agree on a time line to get started and a plan that is realistic regarding your personal goals and then get started on that journey together. Do not put a time limit of becoming successful....it will automatically happen when you have followed the process.

You can visit some of my sites to get a better idea of some of the marketing tools I use every day to help me accomplish my goals. This gig is not for everyone....only the serious marketers should consider this learning process. You too, can be one of the 5% of the people who make money on the internet. If I can do it....so can you. If you have additional questions you can contact me at the following contact information.

29. Free Marketing Tips

Marketing Tips!!


Getting started on the right foot....and learning the process of marketing your business opportunity on the internet is vitally important to your success! Learn some simple yet effective tips that will accelerate your learning process!

Most of us have been through the process of searching the web for that outstanding program that will make us millions of dollars. You know....the one where we can than retire in the islands and drink those fancy island drinks. The program that is the most wonderful thing since sliced bread! The one that you don’t have to advertise, make phone calls or do any recruiting. That type of poppycock....insults my intelligence.

How much money have you wasted on this kind of garbage? Everyone I talk to has been thru the same ridiculous procedure. I was in a meeting the other day and one of the individuals in the meeting had spent over $10,000 buying junk programs that was hyped to make them rich quick. If you don’t remember anything else here today, remember this one statement....There is NO legitimate get rich scheme that will make you rich overnight!! It takes work and dedication to be successful on the internet. Everything else is a lie.

Just making a fancy website with a lot of flash and hyped up content will ruin your chances of success on the internet. The search engines are not interested in flash, pictures and junk content. They are interested in one thing....and that is good keywords, and relevant content about your product or services being offered. By adding good content on a daily basis, search engine like Google will push your site to higher and higher positions. I reviewed a survey the other day, stating that 78% or more of the people who are doing a search for a product or service will Google the topic, business or individual that they are researching. Most people won’t go past page 2 of Google to research their interest. If you’re not positioned on page 1 or 2 of the search engines…you may never be found on the internet.

By consistently writing new articles with good keywords and content, Google will position you in their rankings so that people will find you quicker than if you just have a lot of glitz and glamour on your site. I reviewed a site this morning for a potential client who couldn’t understand why his site (which was well designed for looks) was going nowhere. When I reviewed the source code....there was NO keywords....NO meta tag description....and NO links. Plus there had been NO new content added since the site was built in June of 2005. It doesn’t take a take a rocket expert to figure out what’s wrong with that picture. However, if you don’t have the expertise to investigate the source, how would anyone ever know to look at the inner structure of the web site. You wouldn’t. Without proper training you probably don’t have a clue where to look either.

Most individuals don’t know how to go about building an effective, search engine friendly site. They don’t know where to turn to get the answers and learn the process. My name is Larry L. Miller and I am a Search Engine Optimization Consultant. I have found in my experience, there is one company who has designed marketing programs with the little guy and gal in mind who wants to learn the art and science of marketing on the internet. The name of that company is Veretekk Marketing.

Veretekk Marketing offers over 40 marketing portals (websites) designed for every aspect of effective marketing. Veretekk provides effective marketing programs without all the hype and false promises. This is a company that will teach you how to become successful on the internet. Remember the old saying “give a man a fish and feed him for the day”….teach a man to fish and feed him for the rest of his life”!! This is the concept of the Veretekk systems. Butch Hamilton said it best…”all roads lead to Veretekk.”

There are free live online classes being offered to every Veretekk subscriber. There are over 100 teachers who are well trained and are successful individuals who use the Veretekk system to market their own business opportunity. Cross recruiting is strictly forbidden.

30. Writing effective content to promote your busines

Writing to promote your opportunity

Writing articles is sometimes an arduous task that we all despise. Consistently writing articles with keyword specific content and posting those articles on the internet is the key to successful marketing. Individuals surfing on the internet are looking for information about a product or service they may be interested in at that particular moment.

Short, precise updated information is what it’s all about. Don’t try to hype a product and go on and on about your opportunity being the latest and greatest widget. Shoppers don’t like smoke and mirrors when looking to purchase an item. Shoppers are looking for straight forward information....about their interest at that moment.

The potential client will normally follow the cycle of human behavior. They will scan the content looking for words that will trigger additional interest in what they are already looking for. You must submit short articles with keyword specific meaning to stimulate that individual’s attention to the point of purchasing what you have to offer.

In my marketing experience…..I follow the 3 to 4 second rule. Get the potential clients Attention....spark an Interest....create a Desire ....and influence that individual to take Action. A decision will always follow the AIDA process. The decision to purchase my product or service....or go elsewhere. Be very specific....informative....and truthful, the rest will fall into place. Shading the truth will always come back and bite you where it hurts. Don’t succumb to take the fateful path of shadowing the truth....always tell it like it is.

Proper marketing tools will help in your “quest for success.” I recommend the simple, yet effective marketing tools being offered by Veretekk Marketing. There are over 40 marketing portals (websites) within the Veretekk system....that will help you market your opportunity for the world to see. Click on the following link to view my sites and review the affordable approach to marketing your business opportunity.

31. Visualization Marketing

Visualization Marketing


Visualize success in your life.....and it will happen.

Have you ever dreamed of having a successful online business? Most of us have, at one time or another. However, statistics show that less than 5% of individuals using the internet actually make money. This computes to 95% of the people who are online....don't make money. They are spending their money on junk....get rich quick schemes. They are chasing a rainbow....to find that the mythical pot of gold doesn't exist.

Why do so many people fail on the internet? It’s really a simple answer. They believe all the hype of getting filthy rich, then spending the rest of their life laying on the beach on some beautiful island and never working again. Be realistic folks. Who do you know that has accomplished this incredible feat? Nobody! Human beings dream of getting something for nothing and that’s what they get....absolutely nothing.

You’re not alone in your desires to become successful in life. All of us have that desire in one form or another. The difference in those who become successful and those who fail is quite elementary. Visualization! You must visualize your success....to become successful. If you don’t visualize success....you’re destined to failure.

I have had the honor to be a student of Butch Hamilton's and train with the "Master" in SEO procedures. I read one of Butch Hamilton’s articles recently on Visualization Marketing. What an eye opener. Butch stated “"I believe that visualization is the first step in achieving desired success. It is simply the act of thinking about what you wish to accomplish.” Visit: http://visualizationmarketing.com to read Butch’s article. It is so powerful. If this doesn’t change your outlook on Visualization Marketing, then your battery is probably already dead.

I applaud the statement Butch made “what we think is what we become”. How true this is. If we visualize success in our life....success will happen. Conversely, if we think we are going to fail....that's exactly what will happen in your life. You are what you think!

There have been numerous articles and books written about this concept. It’s nothing new....it’s just we don’t follow through on good advise most of the time. A book written many years ago....Think and Grow Rich…is a good example. Positive thoughts breed success. On the other hand Negative thinking not only affects you, but is contagious to everyone around you. Negative thoughts can be the death of your actions today....or your chances of success in the future.

You are the only one who can change a your negative thoughts. Surround yourself with positive individuals and see the immediate difference it will make in your life. Positive thoughts build confidence....and will create good things happening all around you. Negative thoughts will....immediately destroys any chance of future success.

The art and science of online marketing is all about visualizing your success. Don’t just think about it. Do it! This process is not an overnight happening. Depending on your abilities and efforts you put into your dreams....will forever impact the end results of your success.

Change your attitude....think positive....and visualize where your online journey will lead you. Whatever obstacles you must overcome....make it happen, commit to make that change right now. If you are around negative people....get new friends. If you need to get training....find the information to change your situation right now. Our group of professionals can help you in your “quest for success” with free, live online training.

Another quote from Butch that pretty well sums it up. "When I speak to others about visualization, this can act as the opposite just as effectively. If you are consistently thinking that you cannot be successful, cannot make money, cannot pay your bills and that you cannot achieve any type of success, then you will be exactly right. Your self talk can be your best friend, or your worst enemy." It’s your future that’s a stake here....you must make the right choices....or suffer the consequences of your decisions.

32. Commitment, Planning and Writing to Win

Commitment, Planning and Writing to Win

Writing articles….and publishing good keyword rich content on a consistent daily basis is imperative to earn online success. It takes a commitment to write an article that will have new meaning and effectiveness day after day. The more you write, the better you become at writing. Learn to write....by writing. Write as if you are talking to someone, and your own style will become powerful.

Having a strong Spiritual foundation makes this process manageable for me. The first thing I do everyday....read the Bible for at least 30 minutes with no interruptions. After my meditation....my mind is clear and in gear, and refreshed for my work activities for the day. Put first thing first in your life. The rest will fall into place like a puzzle.

Have a regular time slot for research....writing....and posting articles. This must be a top priority in your daily activities. One of the biggest pitfalls is to put off your writings until later in the day. Not writing the first thing in the morning, results in the failure to write at all. Commit to write early in your daily routine, otherwise all the other cares of life take over your time. Without consistent new content being written and published daily....your marketing endeavors will cease almost immediately.

Every time this part of my daily structure is interrupted....my day is out of step....for the rest of that day. My next step is to get my important e-mails out of the way. Don"t spend time on reading junk emails. Stay focused. Take care of business by making a list of events that need to be accomplished. Put activities in order of importance. Stay focused on that project until the project is complete. Then go to the next project.

Devote some time during your daily routine to learn something new, and then phase that new idea or procedure into a regular part of your daily routine. After a few days that new idea becomes an unconscious part of your daily activities.

If I don’t follow this simple plan, I become stagnant in my efforts to stay focused on the procedures and routines I have established. It takes discipline every day to keep the mind sharp and focused. If you don’t stay focused....its like a dog chasing his tail. He can’t catch his tail and he gets dizzy and has to quit this stupid act. May we all learn from that simple example! Stop going in circles and focus on the goals you establish for yourself. Stop chasing rainbows and get rich quick schemes.

The key to your success lies firmly in your hands. You can flounder all over the internet and waste a lot of money....looking to find a Magic Button. Forget it my friend....there is no such thing. It takes effort to make it happen. Commit the time necessary to make it happen. Each of us is different and our learning curve is sometimes challenged....however....we each need to sit down and talk to ourselves and evaluate exactly where we stand today and where we want to go in the future. Where do you want to go? Are you happy with your accomplishment of today? Re-evaluate your position and make the changes necessary to accomplish what is important in your life. Without good direction you will loose your way quickly. We will end up like the dog chasing his tail, right back where you started from. Dizzy....confused and the need for a plan....which you still have to implement. Stop wasting time and money and "get r done".

Make a plan….follow that plan, until the plan needs some adjustment. Patience is a virtue. Rome was not built in a day....neither will your success on the internet be happen overnight....be patient. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you run into an obstacle or loose your way. There are individuals who are trained and willing to help you succeed in your online marketing challenges.

The company I found to be the finest in live online training, is the Veretekk Marketing System. They offer over 100 successful professional trainers who are knowledgeable in all aspects of internet marketing. Don’t attempt to tread this road alone. Let the professionals with Veretekk help you in your “quest for success”. View some of my sites and see how effective marketing tools can help you succeed in your marketing dreams. You can make it happen.

33. Learn to Write Effective Articles

Learn to Write Effective Articles


Do you want to promote your business opportunity on the internet? Learn the art and science of writing effective articles.

The internet is all about information. When you want information about a particular product or service, what is the first thing most of us do? We Google it! We look for information that will be helpful for us to make an intelligent decision. Where is all this information coming from? From individuals just like you and I who have written article about a particular subject matter, and posted that information on the web for the world to see.

When writing an article, one must always keep in mind the very basics of writing. Don’t over complicate the process. The items you must cover in your article are quite simple, and they are often referred to as the 5 W’s….. who, what, when, where and why. You can put as many words in an article as you wish; however, most of us get bored after a few paragraphs anyway. Keep you information to the point and always be sure your comments are honest and verifiable. It only take one bad post to ruin months and even years of credibility.

There are free online live classes within the Veretekk Marketing system which will teach you the art and science of effective writing. These classes are taught by Dr. Gwen who is renowned for her no nonsense writings. Once you learn the basics, you can then put your own personality into your writings and make the articles focused on the subject matter of your choice. The one key ingredient to successful writing is to “start writing”. Write from the heart. No BS….just the fact as you see them. Write like you talk. Your personality will immediately show through into your writings and people feel the sincerity of your thoughts. You will find the more you write the better you become in your writings.

Butch Hamilton-SEO Master taught me…..there is one commitment you must make, if you want to become successful on the internet. This commitment never changes…..You must write at least one article every day about something. Hand index your article to Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines. You will soon see that your opinion does count. Soon you will see your articles start to appear on the internet. This gives you credibility with your readers. The more you write the better your articles will develop into effective reading material. People will start looking forward to reading your articles. Why? Because it’s good relative content that makes down to earth common sense…and NO Bull!

One word of caution….don’t try to sell a product or service in your writings, just give good keyword rich, relative content about your product or service. People searching for information will make up their own mind from the quality information you provide. The potential client will not make a positive decision to participate in your business opportunity from a bunch of hype you may be tempted to include in your article. Keep it simple....with informative....interesting....keyword rich....content.

Start writing today and….remember the 5W’s….who, what, when, where and why. Send me some of your articles and let me help you build them into effective marketing strategies and techniques. Let someone you trust, read your writings and get their opinion, whether good or bad. Use that constructive criticism to your advantage and become a writer with passion and commitment. This concept will evolve into your successful future on the internet. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

34. Watch your Search Engine Positions

Watch your Search Engine Positions


Monitoring your position on the Search Engines

When marketing on the internet, consistency in publishing keyword rich articles is important to your success. However, there is a critical step most of us overlook….which is monitoring our position on the search engines. .When was the last time you checked to see where you rank in standings with Google? If you’re going to put forth the efforts of publishing articles, and promoting your business opportunity, then you should religiously check and monitor your positions with the search engines.

A number one position in your category with Google is the dream of most marketers. Only one person or business can enjoy position one at a time. Most individuals are content with a page one ranking. If you already have accomplished that goal and satisfied with where you currently stand, then you probably won’t want to continue reading this article. However, if you have a flicker of hope in obtaining higher positions then read on. It takes work and dedication to obtain and maintain top positions with all search engines.

I am a Search Engine Optimization Consultant, and when I’m dealing with a new client, or existing client, my number one recommendation is to…..write at least one short article per day regarding your business opportunity. It is imperative to use…..good keywords and make sure you have used relative content about your offering. Google and other search engine spiders….love new content and this is one of the elements that the search engines uses to move you up in position on the search engines positions. Make sure your content is original…..don’t try to take a short cut and copy and paste someone else’s work. The search engines frown on the use of other peoples work unless you are quoting that individual. If your going to quote someone else's work make sure you give the author the credit they deserve by including the authors name and other pertinent information about the source of the quote.

Learning the art and science of search engine optimization is a process. For some of us the learning curve may be steeper than for others. If you’re willing to learn, and apply the principles of marketing using the search engines as a tool, then you can succeed.

A question that clients often ask, is; “where can I learn such procedures?” There is one company that I highly recommend that offers FREE training on all the procedures of effective internet marketing, including search engine optimization. The company’s name is Veretekk Marketing. They have earned the distinct honor of being the premier company on the internet, who offers an all inclusive marketing concept, used by beginners, ordinary marketers and even the seasoned professionals. Veretekk offers over 40 marketing portals covering every aspect of effective marketing. Some of these programs you may use more than others. They offer the opportunity in one of their programs where you generate sales leads in your own marketing system. What a concept!! Check it out…..it’s called the Leadsomatic Lead Generation system.

The FREE online live training is for all Veretekk Gold subscribers. There are more than 100 teaching instructors who are successful individuals that use the Veretekk marketing concept to successfully and effectively promote their own primary business. There is absolutely no cross recruiting in these classes! These classes are for instructional purposes only, and mentioning a business opportunity by the moderator or student is strictly forbidden. "Learn to earn" on the internet with the proper training with Veretekk.

39. Top sites on Google

Top sites on Google

Some months ago I was privilidged to do some research regarding the common thread of some top site on Google. At that time I only studied the first 2 page of Google, which was the top 20 successful sites of the catagory "leads".

The purpose of this study was to pinpoint the common factors that all of these sites had in common which had put them to the top of their catagory. There are 290,000,000 positions in the search catagory; "leads". This research showed that there are over 50,000 inquiries per month of individuals searching the term "leads" on Google.

Since there are 40,000,000 people who use the internet per month to find a product or service, it makes sense for an individual to try their very best to get their personal opportunity ranked as high as possible on Google . Since Google is the #1 search engine on the internet, when looking for information, why not strive to become one of the few to obtain a page one ranking with search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and others?

When you're in the market for a product or service, the first thing you do is Google that product or service or individual who your going to be dealing with to see what is the best information you can find. Keywords without a doubt are the main reason companies get a high ranking with Google. When searching for an item you will type in keywords or keyword phrases. With this information you will see any number of businesses and individuals making all kinds of claims regarding their business opportunity. Be cautious of the hype...misleading statements, and rediculous "to good to be true" promises some of these site proclaim. Quality, truthful information is what individuals are looking for, not hype!

If you're not experienced in the art and science of promoting on the internet and want to learn, there is a company that specializes in teaching you the correct ways to market your business opportunity. The Veretekk Marketing system is the premier of all marketing programs. With over 40 portals within their Gold system, covering every aspect of marketing, you can target the catagory of individual or business that best fits your opportunity.

Use the internet to your advantage, but do it in the correct way. Overstating your business with false or incomplete information will always come back and bite you where it hurts. By doing your research, publishing to the internet and follow up are three ingredients that will help you get off on the right foot when marketing on the internet.

I invite you to visit my sites within my Veretekk system and see exactly what true marketing is all about. These are sites I use everyday to promote my primary business, as well as helping my clients build their business. As an SEO Consultant, I encourage all my clients to get their own Gold system with Veretekk, and experience the quality of marketing they deserve.

Effective marketing is a vital part of any business. I get emails every day proclaiming to be the "latest and greatest revolutionary marketing sytem ever designed." Many of these programs are over hyped before they ever hit the market. Some of these programs haven't even been built yet. This scenario appears to be quite the norm on the internet today. An individual must be very careful not to get caught up in all the hype….unethical….false claims…..and pre-launch bologna. We’ve all seen it, and many of us may have been caught up in some of these "become a millionaire overnight" hogwash at one time or another.

My name is Larry L. Miller-SEO Consultant, and many of my clients ask…”Should I get in involved in this new get rich quick program?” My questions to my client is always the same. What kind of a track record does the company behind this offering have? How long have they been in business? Does it have a track record of successful marketing tactics? I have a question!!! How can a company know a program is so good, if the program being offered has never been on the market for the average marketer to prove? There are so many scams out there and these are questions one must ask, before jumping into any latest, greatest, questionable marketing venture.

There is one effective marketing program I have proven time and time again. This company has been around for over a decade…..and will not endorse any form of hype or spam.

Veretekk Marketing....the leader in effective marketing programs will train you in the art and science of marketing on the internet. Free training to all Gold subscribers. Join today!!

When searching the internet for a product or service, a high percentage of people Google that item. Recent studies show that about 67% or more of individuals prefer Google over other search engines to find their product or service. If the item your searching for is not on the first page when you search for an item, how many time do you go to page two or higher? Not to often.....right?

If you’re like most of us….you won’t look any further than page one to find any item. My point here is…..if you‘re in business on the internet, and your not on page one, most people will never know that you exist.

Not everyone can be on a top position with Google, so how do you get a high ranking? It takes a lot of work. There is no easy way to accomplish this daunting task. It takes a commitment on your part. You must have a plan and follow that plan till you accomplish your marketing goals. If you don’t know how to market on line, then you need to get the proper marketing tools and live training to learn the process of how to market effectively.

There is one company that teaches you all you’ll ever need to know about marketing effectively on the internet.

46. Work from Home!

Work from Home!


Three crucial attributes in life that contol our destiny!

Did you ever dream of owning your own business? Did you dream include....not having to go to a job with an irritating boss? Have your dreams included working from home, making money and not having to fight traffic to and from work? This may seem like the impossible dream to you …..however, it doesn’t have to be a dream anymore….you can make it a reality.

Build a business that you control, plus build a residual income is what it’s all about. An income that will grow in proportion to the efforts you put into that endeavor. Success doesn’t just happen. Success means different things to different people. Some very wealthy individuals may not be successful. They may know how to make money…but don’t have a clue about what success means to you and I. Success or failure is a mindset that each one of us must address as we approach the next step in our lives.

Wealth and success are the rewards of successful thinking. Failure is nothing more than a by product of successful individuals.

There a three things that we each control in our lives that will affect our outcome in life.

A positive attitude is imperative. In a recent article I quoted a very compelling statement. “If you hang with people who are positive, your attitude will become positive to. However, on the other hand, if you hang around with people with a negative attitude, you will be become very negative rather quickly!” Only you can make the choice of the type of individual you want to associate with. You can’t choose your family, but you can choose who you associate with. Attitudes….good or bad….is contagious.

Character is an necessity you must possess to become successful. In this day and age of anything goes….you need to think outside the box and consider whether your actions reflect a strong character. In this personal review, your actions must be unquestionable. Most of us are very conscience of whether what you’re saying is a lot of hot air, hype or untruthfulness…..or if what you’re saying is sincere and from the heart. Don’t try to BS you way through this business. Accept inabilities and learn to change the negative aspects of your life. Always be truthful in whatever you’re saying or doing. If you’re lying…..it will always come back to haunt you. This brings us to the next step.

Having a strong work ethics will definitely make the difference in success or failure in your future. If your work ethics has been questionable in your past…..you will probably not make it in this business very long. You must be a self-motivated individual and be able to control your time…..the time you’re willing to devote to your online activity. If you’re not willing to devote the time and training necessary to become a success, then waste no more of your time. I’m not being harsh here folks, but I have seen this scenario time and time again. I can’t stress enough, the importance of time management.

Veretekk Marketing has designed an effective system…..”To empower the self-employed, underemployed, unemployed, unemployable, senior citizen, disabled, single parents and the disenfranchised of our society." Veretekk offers a complete portfolio of marketing tools that addresses every aspect of effective marketing on the internet. This includes free online training to every Gold subscriber with Veretekk.

47. Marketing effectively with Veretekk!

Marketing effectively with Veretekk!


Change your mindset....learn the art and science of marketing....and become successful on the internet!

When promoting on the internet, an individual must be persistent in effectively advertising your business opportunity. With the ten’s of thousands of advertisements that comes up when you Google any category on the web, you can get lost in that maze very quickly. If you don’t understand what effective marketing and advertising is all about…..then read on to the end of this article.

When starting a new business, an individual will first make a website, post to the net and then just set back and wait for people to beat the door down to purchase their product or services. On TV that may be how you see it happen , however, in real life it doesn’t evolve that way. The only thing that happens on the internet is the things you make happen by the efforts you put forth. Do nothing…..nothing happens.

Promoting on the internet is an art and science. You have to want success, before you can achieve success on the internet. If you don’t think that you could be successful on the internet, you’re probably right. I think Butch Hamilton, SEO Master said it best. “Whatever you’re thinking right now, you’re probably right”! Think about that for a moment! You are what you think! If you think you’re going to fail…..you will.

Mindset is a very controlling aspect of our everyday life. Hang around with a person who is negative all the time….and you become a negative person also. Be willing to think outside the box. Change your mindset if necessary. Think about everything in a positive light, and you will see your life make a sharp turn for the better. The same philosophy holds true with your business endeavors. Hang with winners and your chances of become successful is enhanced substantially. Be around losers all the time and you will become a loser rather quickly. Success and failure are both contagious.

My name is Larry L. Miller-SEO Consultant. In my research I found one winning team that I whole heartedly recommend to all of my clients.

These are people who are willing to learn and then apply what they learn to make a difference in their life and the lives of others around them.

Veretekk has a very strong philosophy….they not only preach……but practice….”No one is left behind with Veretekk!” If you’re willing to put forth the effort….you will have all the help you need to succeed.

The Veretekk Marketing systems covers every aspect of marketing you will ever need to accomplish your marketing goals. This is not an easy process, however, if I can do it……anyone can.

48. Learn to Earn!

Learn to Earn!


New to the internet? Some simple suggestions that will help you get started on the right track in your marketing endeavors! Right mindset....use the proper marketing tools....get the training...."learn to earn" on the internet!

Wouldn’t it be nice to sit down at your computer each morning and not find junk mail? When I turn on my computer in the morning, there are literally hundreds of emails offering everything you could imagine. What really is upsetting is all of the adult sites that are promoting their junk on the internet. What a waste of talent by those smut promoters. Why can’t they use their skills for promoting something that would benefit all of us? Needless to say.....I use my delete key a lot. My interest on the internet is simple....good quality information regarding how I can market my business opportunity appealing to the masses on the internet.

If you’re new to the internet, there are certain issues you must address early in your marketing venture. I will share with you some very important basics you must implement into your daily activities if you really are serious about your future on the web.

In recent articles I’ve shared with you the importance of a good mindset. You might have been told by some “would be guru” on the internet how you can replicate his website and become a millionaire overnight. It didn’t work….did it??? As a SEO Consultant, I have spent an incredible amount of time in research, I have yet to see a replicated website that is worth taking a second look at.

You must be able to control your content in your own website. This doesn’t mean that you can’t take an affiliate program and in your own control panel (if available within that system) make the changes that are important to promote your primary business effectively. There are companies out there that permit you to do so. The company I recommend to all my SEO client’s, is the Veretekk Marketing system....the leader in effective marketing programs. You are invited to visit my personal Veretekk sites I use daily, to promote my online business.

The Veretekk Marketing system is the one marketing program that I have found to do a complete job in getting your business on line and getting recognized by Google. Veretekk offers a complete arsenal of marketing tools to effectively market your business opportunity. There are over 40 different marketing portals that you configure and input your own information about your business. The Veretekk system offers support if you have a problem. They offer free, live, online training classes to help you get off to a fast start. Training is Free to all Gold subscribers.

The process of becoming a success is not a quick process. Depending on your ability to spend the time to learn the process of effective marketing depends on your personal schedule. It's going to take some time on your part. Your ability to comprehend this process, will be a determining factor on how quick you will start making money on the web. Anyone who says your going to get rich in the next 30…60…90 days.....is a liar. It just doesn’t happen. There is no easy button!

Lead generation is imperative if you want to see results in your marketing efforts. Without good quality approachable leads, you're doomed for failure. With Veretekk you have several different marketing portals that are designed specifically for generating sales leads. You generate sales leads in your own marketing system. These are fresh leads….not some recycled leads that have been sold to other marketing companies before you got your list.

Summary: Be willing to change your mindset from the old traditional ways of marketing to the new updated methods. Work with a marketing company like Veretekk, who has established their niche in the marketing industry. Take advantage of the free online training Veretekk offers. Set your mind, that you are going to devote the time, money and effort to gain the knowledge to become a success in your business venture.

Gaining top positions on Google doesn't just happen. You must promote your opportunity the correct way to be effective in your marketing endeavors. Let the pro's of Veretekk assist you in your marketing efforts.

How do you go about promoting your new business on the internet? Most individuals think that just putting a website on the web and it will be successful….and that’s all you have to do…. is not true. When it comes to internet marketing you must promote your business opportunity. The old saying…”if you build it they will come” doesn’t apply to the internet. You must promote your website to get it recognized by the search engines.

You can have the most attractive website ever designed; however, if no one ever views your site, all your efforts are worthless. When you Google a particular word or phrase, did you ever notice there are actually hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of sites listed for that particular category word search. Every high rank site has done massive promotion to get where they are. The question is how did they get that high ranking?

The answer is quite simple…..it took a marketing plan and an incredible amount of time for someone to gain a top position on the major search engines. If you’re not willing to devote the time, money and effort to achieve top positions then you’ll never be successful in gaining a top position.

If you don’t know how to promote your site, but you’re willing to spend some money….then hire the professionals to do the work for you. If your time is money, then let the professional promote your business opportunity the right way.

My name is Larry L. Miller-SEO Consultant and a website design specialist, I have been able to help numerous individuals and businesses succeed in their marketing efforts. If you have some questions regarding this specialty business, feel free to contact me at the contact information below.

51. Marketing Plan for Beginners

Marketing Plan for Beginners


A simple success formula for internet marketing....made easy....with the help of Veretekk Marketing.

When considering a career on the internet there are certain things you must consider before you begin your journey. There are some choices you should seriously consider before you make that plunge into internet marketing.

First of all you need a plan. Let’s refer to this as a blueprint if you will, because you definitely need a viable plan to make this venture happen. You wouldn’t attempt to build a home or any building without some kind of a blueprint. You wouldn’t start on a long journey without consulting AAA or some other travel service. You would a least purchase a road map and plan how you are going to get where you want to go. You can consider this internet journey in the same way, you must have a plan and then work that plan.

The first thing most of us consider as the number one priority would be….what kind of a product or service am I going to try to sell on the internet? You must have a plan before taking this step. There are all kinds of products and services that one can consider, however, how do you narrow down your choices and make an intelligent decision? Most affiliate and self replicating websites are not recommended. Sometimes it may be necessary to contact a SEO Consultant, who will give you an unbiased opinion and point you in the right direction.

Having the right marketing tools is imperative if you’re truly serious about marketing on the web. If you Google the keyword term of “marketing tools” you will find there are 25,100,000 choices you have to make. Going through this maze of information would be overwhelming and time consuming. How do you make a choice with all those choices? If you’re lucky you might stumble onto a program that may help you accomplish your goals. It is highly recommended to consult with a professional who would listen to your marketing goals and expectations and then make some recommendations regarding your future.

Training is important. Having the knowledge to correctly market is crucial to your success. Trying to learn the art and science of marketing on your own is not recommended. There are organizations that provide free training on how to correctly market your product or services. We will talk about that in a moment.

Having a good work ethics, is the only thing that you can personally be 100% responsible for. If you’re work ethics are questionable, then do all of us professionals a favor, and stay off the internet. We have enough questionable organizations, smut brokers and unethical individuals and businesses on the internet already. We don’t need anymore. I say this with all the love I can. It amazes me how can people with so much talent, be so consumed with unethical ignorance….. what a waste of time and talents.

As a SEO Consultant, I help individuals just like you….to make informed choices in this overwhelming information business called the internet. I work full time on the internet and I constantly hone my skills to accomplish the most effective strategies of marketing on the internet. These skills did not happen over night, it has taken countless hours of intense study and application to learn the science of marketing on the internet. With the knowledge and hands on experience I've acquired, I may be able to recommend some ideas to help you make intelligent choices regarding your future.

My recommendation to all my SEO Clients, get involved in a complete marketing program called Veretekk Marketing. There are over 40 different marketing portals (websites) within this remarkable system that are designed to empower the little guy or gal to learn how to make this journey in marketing a successful venture. You can check out some of my personal Veretekk websites that I use every day to market my primary business on the internet. Learn from the professionals how to do it and do it right.

Free Training by the Professionals at Veretekk will help you in your "quest for success".

Finding the right niche market may or may not be the approach you want to pursue when considering expanding your efforts on the internet. If you have been following my writings, you know that I like to see what…. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia…has to say about a particular subject. The following is an excerpt regarding what a niche market really is.

“A niche market is a focused targetable portion (subset) of a market.

Online niche marketing

An often used technique for affiliate marketers. By seeking out smaller segments of larger markets, a website can be developed and promoted quickly to uniquely serve a targeted and usually loyal customer base, giving the affiliate a small but regular income stream. This technique is then repeated across several other niche websites until a desired income level is achieved.”

If you’re considering participation in a affiliate program, make sure you do your due diligence before committing a lot of time, money and efforts in that process. Normally, the only people who make money with an affiliate program are the ones at the top of an up line. Replicating websites is not the answer if you want to succeed on the internet. A gentleman from the UK called me the other day and stated…..”he had several duplicating websites for over a year now and made zero dollars…..what am I doing wrong?” I was able to consult with him and point him in the right direction to learn the process of effective marketing on the internet.

If your going to be one of the few who survive on the internet, you must learn the art and science of marketing your product or service correctly. How does one learn to market on line?? Let the professionals help you learn the process. This will take some time on your part to learn the steps of marketing effectively. Don’t jump from program to program or company to company trying to find the easy way to learn. There is only one way to learn the process correctly, and that is to find a system that offers live online training by individuals just like you and me who have learned the process and are willing to share with you the formula for success. Success is not going to happen overnight. You must be committed to take what ever time is necessary to learn the art and science of effective marketing strategies.

As a SEO Consultant, I have spent countless hours online trying to find a company that offers training of this nature. Veretekk Marketing offers freeee online training to every Gold subscriber enrolled in the Veretekk system. There are over 100 certified instructors within the system that use the Veretekk Marketing programs daily in their own personal marketing endeavors. Each of these instructors have proven the systems works and are willing to volunteer their time to share their knowledge with others. There will never be anyone cross recruit you to their businesses.

Veretekk offers some affiliate programs which you can participate in while learning the process. You can “earn while you learn from the professionals.” You are invited to visit some of my personal Veretekk websites to see the quality of programs offered by Veretekk. If you have further questions, or need personal mentoring, contact me at the contact information listed below.

Knowledge|Marketing Tools|Internet Success


Helpful hint when starting a new business on the internet. Let Veretekk Marketing help.

When considering starting a new business venture in your home town or on the internet, the planning should be well thought out. We are going to discuss in this article only the internet aspects of marketing online.

In your planning stage of internet marketing you should first consider a product or service you feel would be appealing to the general public and profitable for you. A product or service you are familiar with; will shorten your time frame of getting on the web. Possibly your vocation in life selling a product would be an asset because you already have the knowledge about the item you are going to put on your website. If you’re going to market a new product or service, be committed to study and understand every aspect of what you are going to market. Knowledge is imperative.

Then choose a name for your product or service. A cute name or catch phrase may raise some eyebrows, however, if that name or phrase is not a keyword to your business your site may go nowhere on the internet. Google likes keywords and keyword phrases relative to your product if you want top Google listings.

You should concentrate on a couple of important items when you construct your website. Search engines are not interested in flash and pictures. Google, Yahoo, MSN and other fine search engines look for content. Clear, precise, relative content is the secret to get your website recognized. Pictures are nice to look at, however, make sure those pics are relative to your business opportunity.

When you get the proper title for your business and website…..get the website built and post it to the internet…..then your next question is probably….”when will I get my first hit to my website?" No one knows. You can have the best looking website on the internet with all the glitter, flash and loaded with jokes….famous sayings….and all kind of other hype and still not see any results. What is the problem then? You must promote your site to the search engines before anyone will see your site.

Hand indexing your URL to the search engines is the quickest way to get recognition on the internet. With Google, MSN and Yahoo hand submission is the way to get your site moving to page one position with these fine search engines. Statistics show that most people when searching the internet for a particular product or services will not go past page one or two on any of these search engines. Not everyone can be number one, however, the higher position you can attain, the better your chances for someone viewing your opportunity will be.

If you’re really serious about success with your new venture, then you need to learn the process of marketing on the internet. There is a company I recommend all of my SEO clients, that covers all the marketing strategies you will ever need to promote your business opportunity. The company is Veretekk Marketing. With the marketing programs offered by Veretekk, even a beginner can learn the correct way to approach this whole marketing scenario. You can visit some of my personal Veretekk sites and see some of the marketing site I use daily to market my primary businesses.

If you need personal mentoring, you can contact me at the contact information below.

55. Helpful hints when promoting your business opportunity!

Helpful hints when promoting your business opportunity!


When trying to promote your business opportunity on the internet there are a few things you must understand and implement into your presentation.

You must make sure your content is accurate in any article or website. This is particularly important if you are quoting someone. If you do use someone else’s content make sure you put their words in quotation marks and give that individual the credit they rightly deserve.

Use good keyword and keyword phrases in your article. This will get recognition by search engines like Google to pay attention to your article or website. I read an article the other day that 78% of all searches on the internet are done through Google. Thus the term "Google It."

Make your article clear and precise for the reader. Don’t get over technical or try to impress your reader with your computer skills. Not everyone is turned on by computer geeks.

If you’re really serious about marketing on the internet, you will need effective marketing tools. There are several marketing programs you can purchase, however, do some due diligence before putting your hard earned money on the line.

My name is Larry L. Miller-SEO Consultant, and I recommend to all my clients, a company that offers the most effective marketing tools I've found on the internet to date.

2. Tips for Business Success in Today's Tough Market Place
By Storm Castle

Does your company do business to business prospecting? Have you ever considered using an outbound telemarketing company? If you are wondering if your business will be able to endure the current economic troubles, this article is exactly what you need to read. There are six tips that can help your business find success even in a bad economy.

The following six tips are ways your company can not only survive, but thrive during tough economic times. Increasing your marketing budget, using the power of leverage, focusing your efforts where they will be most effective, properly training your employees, providing excellent customer service and keeping a positive attitude are all ways to keep your business profitable in difficult economic times.

The first way for increasing profits during a recession may sound backwards, but increasing the amount of money you spend on marketing your business instead of reducing it is one thing that can help your business make a profit during a recession. Countless businesses make the mistake of considering their marketing an expense instead of an investment and wind up destroying their businesses by cutting back in this area.

The second tip is to use the power of leverage by hiring a business to business prospecting company to do outbound telemarketing for your business. This helps your team use their time more wisely.

The next tip is to focus your efforts where they will be most effective, which is spending time closing sales. When the telemarketing programs do their job effectively your team can spend the majority of their time making sales which means increased profits for you.

The fourth tip involves properly training your employees to work with the highly qualified leads they receive from these lead generation companies. Proper training will help them make the most of these leads and sales will go through the roof regardless of what is happening in the economy.

The fifth tip for business success in tough economic times is to provide excellent customer service. Getting repeat business is much more cost effective and profitable than having to constantly prospect for new business so it is vital to keep your current customers happy.

The sixth and final tip for business success in tough economic times is keeping a positive attitude. People have a tendency to create the exact amount of success they believe they will and your positive attitude will be reflected in your employees' attitudes and achievements as well as your own.

Implementing the six ways listed above can help your business to increase profits during a recession. Business to business prospecting is one area to concentrate your marketing efforts in since this will make four of the six ways happen. Then all you have to worry about are the last two ways including treating your clients to outstanding service and maintaining an optimistic outlook.

4. Secret Exposed: How the Google Search Engine Really Works
By Henry Zeng

While we don't often think about - or even care - how the Google search engine works, it is very important for an online marketer who is using search engine optimization, or natural search marketing for their online business to understand the basic principles that drive Google.

There are three main parts to Google: Googlebot, The Indexer, and the Query Processor. Each of these three parts is crucial to online businesses, believe it or not. Let's take a deep look at each of these Google elements to see how they work.

Googlebot is the search engine spider that comes to your website and spiders your pages. It isn't an actual spider, of course.

It actually works more like a web browser by calling a server and requesting pages, and downloading them - just as you do when you open your browser, type in an URI, and then the web page loads.

Googlebot, however, is run by big number of computers and performs this task much faster than one user could on their home or work personal computer. And Googlebot doesn't know if a website exists until a URL is put into their Add URL form, or until they find a link point to that site on another web page.

When Googlebot comes to a page, they take all the links from that page, and put them in a queue for crawling, and repeat this process over and over again. Once Googlebot has found a link, and downloaded the page, it hands that page off to the Indexer.

The Indexer stores the pages in Google's Index Data base. The Index then sorts all of the pages in its data base, alphabetically, by looking at all of the keywords on the pages. The Indexer does not pay any attention to what Google calls stop words, such as is, on, or, why, how, etc. It just pays attention to more important keyword type words.

The Indexer, after Indexing pages, waits for the Google Query Processor to ask it for a list of documents. A keyword is given to the Query Processor, which in turn asks the Indexer for a list of stored websites contain that keyword.

The Indexer then supplies the Query processor with a list of the documents, and the Query processor presents the documents to the user who requested the keyphrase.

You see, each element is important to the others. It all starts with the Googlebot finding your web page link on another site, or by you going to Google and using the Add form to submit your site.

8. Adelaide Small Business Need SEO
By Dr S Ausman

There are no secrets on how to rank high with the major search engines because effective search engine optimizations are now immense. What is search engine optimization? Before we discuss that thing, you have to understand first how search engines work and a bit of know-how.

Search engines are into providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was used. They are sophisticated pieces of technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase. Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn't relate to the search term, or if the results are old. People expect the most up-to-date and fresh information that is useful to them.

Updating your website everyday and adding some materials will help you get noticed by the search engines. So, if you are going to sell any type of product or service online, you have to optimize your website for the search engines, in order to boost traffic and sales. It is because over 90% of your business will likely come directly from search engine results. And for that reason, it is absolutely important to optimize your site for search engines for you to have the greatest deals in the entire world.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process by which webmasters or online business owners utilize strategic copy to augment their website's status. It is certain that the internet has grown so fast over the years and the competition for the best search engine position has created an enormous market. Therefore, better understanding the fundamental elements of Search Engine Optimization is vital for an online business' success.

Making use of effective search engine optimization techniques will improve the page rank of your website. There are many tricks that can be used to increase page rank; the most effective method is to provide high quality content consistently. This seems like a simple concept but there are many websites that fails to provide content that visitors find interesting. Sites which provide content that are interesting, well-written and regularly updated create highly engaged visitors who are more likely to return to the website in the coming days. So, if you can set your website apart from those boring, lifeless sites then do it. You'll surely have a step closer to achieving high page rank through search engine optimization.

The next significant factor for an effective search engine optimization is to include keywords and phrases within your content. To make sure that you are properly targeting your market, you have to make sure that the keywords and phrases you have on your site are the keywords and phrase that your site is actually optimized for. The more keywords you use in your content, the more likely it is that online visitors will find your site when they do some research with those words. If you are unfailing with these techniques, then your overall search engine optimization will increase, boosting your page rank.

You should also have to develop a linking strategy as a part of your search engine optimization. Not only does this provide free advertising for your site, but it makes the impression that your site is imperative because of its affiliated links. For each link that you have pointing back to you, that is another chance for your potential customer to find you. The more inbound links that you have pointing to your site, the higher you will be ranked in the search engines.

Another is to develop a content stratagem. People who get to search from the internet are looking for information. The more information you provide for them and the more helpful it is, the more likely you will make the sale. Writing articles is the most effective way to build up content for your site. When writing articles to post on your site, make sure that you develop a clear means of arranging their content. You can do this by simply adding a new page to your site. This will allow room for extra articles to be added as you write them, and will allow you to build up an archive of articles which will maintain to draw online visitors. Make sure also that you have included your archived articles in a directory that is next to the root web of your site so that the search engines will catalog your online articles.

Always keep in mind that search engine optimization methods are important in developing your site's status. With that thing in mind, make sure that you write high-quality, keyword rich content and link your site to and from a deliberate family of other sites. These things will help improve your site's popularity and coerce increased business through your online business.

10. Get More Business with Autoresponders
By David Jessee

These days, most everyone is familiar with an autoresponder, although many don't know why they are beneficial to businesses. If you aren't familiar with autoresponders, you would probably find yourself amazed with them. An autoresponder can help your business by automatically emailing your clients and customers with a preset message that will help to increase your sales.

An autoresponder can help your list of clients grow, even send each one of them their own personalized email message. If you choose, you can also follow up each individual email with repeated emails, varying the content whenever you wish. These programs will also allow you to keep track of conversations, and send out broadcast email messages whenever you have news or new products to offer your clients.

As research in the past has shown, personalized email from autoresponders is a great way to boost your business. When you send a personalized email to one of your clients, the autoresponder by can address him or her by their name - which always makes a customer take notice. While you could do this yourself using traditional email, it could take you a few hours if you have a long list of customers.

Autoresponders make sending personalized email a snap. All you need to do is set up your email template, then select where you like the name to go. You can add everyone in your customer list to the autoresponder, which makes sending emails a snap. Once you have everything ready to go, all you need to do is send out the emails with one simple click. Best of all, you don't have to set it up again when you need to send out broadcast messages.

Although there are some people who will buy products after one or two emails, most people require about seven or eight emails before they will purchase anything. Autoresponders can really help you there, as they will do all of the emailing for you. You dont have to keep sending manual emails or anything like that. All you need to do is set up the email address, type in your preset message, and then feel free to send it as many times as you like.

Through the use of an autoresponder you can really boost your business. If you run an Internet marketing business, this tool will prove to be invaluable. You can spend less time sending messages and more time doing what you enjoy. If you've never tried an autoresponder before, you owe it yourself to check out everything they will do for you and your business. Online businesses can get a lot of emails on a daily basis, which is where the autoresponder will really start to shine and show you just how great of an asset it really is.

12. Adwords Management - 7 Keys to Success: Part 1
By George Kristopher

Most people advertising in Adwords today don't realize that they are losing tons of customers and leads all due to the fact that they don't know the 7 Key things they must do to set up a successful adwords campaign. If you follow these 7 key steps to setting up your adwords campaign, not only will your ad show up a lot higher in Google, but you'll also pay less per click than people advertising below you! Applying these 7 Crucial Steps will increase the amount of clicks you're getting per day and at the same time decrease the amount of money you're having to spend now!

Optimize Your Campaign For Google Are all of your keywords stuffed into one or just a few adgroups? Google hates it when campaigns are like this and determines that your campaign has 0 Relevancy! I know this strategy works, so for all of my clients I make their campaigns Super Relevant by taking each individual keyword and putting it in ad adgroup all on it's own! I know, it's days worth of work, but it reduces their click cost by an incredible amount! If you don't follow crucial step #1 you're going to be slapped! This means that Google will charge you insane amounts of money for your clicks and give your ads horrible placement.

Optimize your ads for Google The structure of your ads play a huge role in determining how much you pay per click. Just like in step #1 Google is obsessed with "Relevancy". Google's idea of a perfect ad actually has the keyword that was searched on show up twice in the ad; Once in the ad title, and once in the ad text. If Google see's that your ad displaying for the keyword, "injury attorney" actually has the keyword "injury attorney" appearing in your ad title and inyour ad text then Google is going to reward your ad for being perfectly relevant to the keyword that was searched on.

Google is going to reward you in two ways, 1) by charging you less per click and 2) by giving your ad a higher ad placement! But that's not all! Who searches on the keyword "injury attorney" will be more inclined to click on your ad because the actual keyword they searched on shows up twice in your ad! That means that by optimizing your ads you get more clicks, you spend less, AND you get higher ad placement! It's a win win situation!

You might ask, "Well how will I ever have time to write a super targeted ad like that for every keyword I have? That seems impossible!" Well, if you don't have time you should make time. My company write a super targeted ad for EVERY keyword that you have! It's a huge load of work, but we've found it's definitely worth it for our clients. Stay tuned for part 2 of this article series, on "Optimizing your site for Google and Keyword Swiping".

16. Google Gets Voice
Google GrandCentral has grown all up is being relaunched as Google Voice. This service will continue in beta testing with many new features. Grand Central was a start up "one-number access" telephone service that was purchased by Google soon after its debut.

This service will be styled similar to the Skype telephony business model, in that some of the calls are free, and international long distance will be offered at attractive rates way below what normal phone charges would be. As an example, calls to Canada reportedly will be one cent per minute.

This will be a great service for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small office/home office workers, which now includes distance workers, telecommuters and digital nomads. Get in line and queue up for a free Google Voice number.

From The Blogosphere:

Google Voice Blog: Moving to Google Voice!

We are happy to announce that we have made a number of improvements to GrandCentral and are relaunching the service as Google Voice.

17. Depression Cooking Teaches
Check out Google Trends this morning, and you will see that Great Depression Cooking tops the charts. The television news anchors are starting to own up to the fact that we are in a depression, and not just your ordinary run of the mill recession.

Imports are down 24% and the economy in the US alone shrank over 6% in just one month. If you think there is any good news in this, it probably is only the fact we need to learn to individually become self reliant again. We can't sustain an economy where the only growth is in government.

If you have already lost your job, and are scratching your head as to what you will do when the unemployment insurance runs out, you may have figured out that it probably won't be a job like you had before. We are headed back to a more mercantile style society, where we each make and trade goods and services. Do you believe you can now start your own small office-home office based on new skills found learned and linked on the Internet?

If you are on your own SOHO quest, you may want to consider investing in and learning about working online. In many ways it is a quite separate and parallel economy. Almost unrelated to what is happening in the real world sector.

An alternative avocation is taking up the art of Depression Style Cooking.




18. SpiderWeb Will Rock the Web
Whoa Baby! This blog is getting whiskers. Anyone that has followed my path will know that I now have been heavy into educating myself about Internet marketing. Thus, the reason for no posts.

But I have been busy investigating. One of the schemes is a beta program known as The SpideWeb Marketing System. If you have seen it in passing, but did not consider it...keep looking. This had the potential to be the next big monetizing scheme for the web.


Many have tried to create a self-sustained or auto-pilot system. This supposedly started out with 12 streams of income, but now has 22. I have a gut feeling you have to work it like any other business.

It still is in beta, so don't hope for much. I had numerous conversation with the owners and management team of this system about creating an inner circle training program. Alas, everyone wants something for nothing. You can generate free leads, but then you have to know what to do with them.

Check out my blog on the subject, too, at "The SpiderWeb System Information and Reviews".


19. How to Produce 365 Videos in One Year
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you have been involved in the blogosphere for long, you know that many bloggers are gravitating towards video aka Video blogs, Vlogs, Vidcasts, or a Video Podcast.

This is a heads up on Mark Wielgus at 45n5.com. Mark is on top of online trends, and I am here to tell you that he researches, tests, and reports on things you will come to appreciate on a daily basis. All the information in this post was gleaned from 45n5. My belief is that Mark combines some marketing savvy with geekdom knowhow. He even writes simple, but useful utility programs and then gives them away for free on the blog. Here is a recent link to one he dubs "Keyword Scrubber".

45n5.com has turned into one of the few blogs I simply must check out on a daily basis. Now Mark is committed to deciphering Affiliate Marketing as a top priority. Another project he is combining with this effort is his personal mission to produce and post a video every day in 2008.

I think with 365 videos in the planning, his little experiment is one to watch for trends, plus the techniques, tips and tricks he is bound to uncover along the way. So, if you want to make 365 videos in one year, watch this guy in 2008 and I think you will learn something.



20. Prioritize Your Blogging for 2008
(Archived in: Social Media Marketing Social Media Optimization)

Welcome to the New Year! I have been spending the last week planning for 2008, which has included changes to my blogging style. If you follow my blogs, you know that I have decided to concentrate on Digital Nomads and The Rugged Notebooks Blog as my main focus for blogging, and with less frequent posting to this blog and The Sovereign Journey.

This is not for a lack or loss of interest, but merely a necessity of time management. Regardless, my blog niche revolves around the central theme of mobility and using technology to be independent. So, you can always check back here and/or catch my more frequent updates at the Rugged Notebooks or Digital Nomads sites. My plan this year is to move to private domains.

One thing I have been doing is writing more focused posts...themed, if you will, or a series of posts on a subject of interest. Recently, this has had a major slant towards telecom, and in particular new gadgets like MagicJack and VoIP telephoney solutions like Google GrandCentral.

I am finding that being more focused on a particular subject area makes it easier and more interesting to research, test, review, and write. I think my readers appreciate it a well and it is helping in the SERPS.

If you are still blogging, drop me a line and let me know how you are getting on. There seems to have been a drop in the number of friends I met online in 2007 that have continued to blog, or scaled back like I have. -Digital Nomad


21. Twelve Step Program for Email Addicts
(Archived in: Online Usability Reviews)

I saw this over at the BigString 2.0 website and thought it was good advice. BigString is an interesting concept in itself, which I will let you discover for yourself. These 12 items have been edited somewhat, so not to get dinged for duplicate content. There were some typos in the original text anyway. Enjoy.

1. Do not send email when you are angry. Wait until you calm down before you send that email. Feelings and thoughts can be difficult to interpret and easily misconstrued.

2. Never send a sarcastic email that could be taken out of context. Sarcasm and email do not mix. You can easily offend someone in an email without intent to do so.

3. Do not send email gossip. You never know where the email will end up. Just make a commitment to yourself not to participate in any gossip.

4. Never end significant relationships via email. Email is the equivalent of an electronic paper trail. Not good for any sour ending, whether business or personal.

5. If you don't want your boss or coworkers to see it, better not send that email from work.

6. Never put anything in writing that may come back to haunt you. A good overall policy. Not just for email.

7. Never, ever, hit ‘Reply to All’ when you just want to send an email to one individual.

8. Don’t email pictures of yourself to others. Especially, online acquaintances and complete strangers.

9. Don’t make promises or commitments via email that you cannot or will not keep.

10. When you send attachments, be sure that you have selected the correct files and documents.

11. Good advice from New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, “Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email.â€

12. Try BigString recallable email. If you do happen to make errors...the recallable, erasable, and non-forwardable features will help to correct such mistakes.



22. How to Build 10-Minute Affiliate Website Mashups
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you are searching for ways to be innovative with your online marketing, then here is another plug for many of the ideas featured at 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. No, this is not a paid post.

This is the good stuff, it's an addendum to the post on "30 Websites in 30 Days", and Mark calls this his YouTube-Ebay-Amazon Affiliate Website Mashup Thingy.



I have had a few email exchanges with Mark, and these are a few of his cautionary thoughts by way of how he has explained the ideas behind how it should work. Most people will not succeed with this mashup concept, or any other website scripting without the underlying concept and knowledge (or experience from learning) of how to build such a niche site.

Cranking out "out of the box" and rubber stamp solutions is what everybody else is doing. Doing the same thing that everyone else is doing online will bring the same results...which happens to be not making any money online. This also happens to mirror Einstein's theory of insanity, and he was no dummy. It's also making many people wealthy for some pretty worthless online information products.

So, if you use the script out of the box, most of your money will be made from luck or successful keyword research (aka) what words and topics you use to build these niche minisites in mass production.

Now is the time to learn. Take the time to consider doing it right. - Digital Nomad


23. A SOHO Reprise of Honest Riches System
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

A 25 Year Old Entrepreneur Making a Living Online from Home


You probably have read about or heard of The Rich Jerk and Chis X of Day Job Killer. If not you better stop and do a Google search right now. About 2 years ago, Holly Mann, a young mother started to successfully market directly against high profile Internet marketing gurus like these guys.

Living in a foreign country with no job and few resources, Holly decided she could research, design, and deliver a kinder and gentler approach to online marketing. Evidently she found her niche selling "How-To" information, because she has become successful in a short period of time (well, a couple of years).

"Honest Riches 2" is a 95 page proven guide. Holly shows all the techniques she has used to make money online through affiliate programs starting with no website and no start-up money, then on to free websites that can easily be setup with little or no experience, including free advertising that most people don't know or think about.

Yes, it seems possible to make money online and work from home just about anywhere (Holly lives in Thailand), but don't quit your day job just yet. You need a system and you need the right tools and knowledge to be successful. Changing your career is a life altering decision.

Before taking the leap, do plenty of due diligence and adequate research for information and resources about starting an online business and becoming an online entrepreneur. This e-book is geared for beginners, but is a valuable resource for all online marketers. No "get-rich-quick" schemes here....like any real business endeavor, it involves some effort and some work. But you will learn strategies and techniques to start making money right away.

24. John Chow Calls It Quits on Agloco
(Archive in: Weblogs and Business)

After many attempts at beating a dead horse, everyone involved in the Agloco fiasco can now uncross their fingers. It ain't gonna happen. Even John Chow has finally admitted defeat along with almost 30,000 signed up in his Agloco network.


Here is a partial screenshot of his last post on the subject, and here is a link to the post about the Agloco demise at TechCruch. Like John says...it shows that all those MBAs don't always muster up success, even the second time around. For posterity, watch the video on the Agloco viewbar attributes, and think about all the gurus that were on board for this.



25. How to Build 30 Websites in 30 Days
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Online Usability)

It may sound implausible, but it is not impossible. Follow this Digital Nomad and you know that just feeding the blogs is not going to cut it anymore. Blogging should be part of your online marketing network, but not a diversion.

I have been searching heavy for the folks that are making it online and not the wannabes. One such source is 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. This guy tells it straight. You have to hunt an peck to find the good stuff, and you will have to piece it together, but I think a good start is on this website.

Mark will show you how to find a niche, create a website in 10 minutes, and then shove it in the pipeline with some SEO tricks. Theoretically, there is no reason why you could not do this everyday for a month and then have 30 minisites up and running for affiliate programs in thirty days.

American Jobs: Going, Going...
Jane Birnbaum
2005
Reprinted from: AFLCIO.org

Corporations are escalating efforts to ship out jobs that pay well and build the middle class—and now they are aiming their axes at workers in the nation’s fast-growing white-collar sector.

The U.S. recession that began in March 2001 officially ended in November 2001, say the National Bureau of Economic Research and other analysts.

So why are so many workers still out of jobs?

“We’ve declared victory over the recession, and we’re still laying off a couple hundred thousand workers a month,” says Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.). “If it weren’t so painful for so many people who are out of work, it would be hilarious. But it isn’t.”

The U.S. economy has 3.2 million fewer jobs today than it did when President George W. Bush took office, including 2.5 million fewer manufacturing jobs. Bush appears headed for the dubious distinction of being the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a decline in total employment during his term in office.

In the past three years, nearly one in five U.S. workers was laid off from the job, according to The Disposable Worker: Living in a Job-Loss Economy, a Rutgers University¡V University of Connecticut report released in late July. Among workers laid off from full-time work, roughly one-fourth were earning less than $40,000 annually, the report finds.

In July, a total of 15 million U.S. workers were either unemployed, underemployed or too discouraged to job hunt, according to the Labor Department.

In contrast, within a year after the official end of the last recession in March 1991, the nation had embarked on six straight months of solid job growth.

This time, say economists, there are crucial differences: Companies are sending well-paying manufacturing and service jobs to countries with few, if any, protections for workers and the environment. And these jobs are probably not coming back.

“The movement of jobs and production overseas is handcuffing the recovery,” according to Mark Xandi, chief economist at Economy.com, as quoted in the New York Times.

“With NAFTA, the World Trade Organization and other trade deals of the last decade, American corporations are now tapping into a global supply of workers who can be trained to do everything from design to production, maintenance to marketing,” says Jeff Faux, economist and founding president of the Economic Policy Institute. “And while these workers become more productive, their pay doesn’t rise, because in many of these countries, to be a labor organizer means you risk winding up in a ditch with a bullet in your head.”

American jobs sent out of the country aren’t likely to return anytime soon. “As long as employers can take advantage of much lower labor costs in other countries, there’s no compelling reason to bring back many of these well-paying jobs,” says Ron Hira, an engineer and assistant professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. “Policymakers seem to be at a loss as to what to do about this problem.”

Meanwhile, the Bush administration directs multimillion-dollar tax cuts to the wealthy while supporting trade laws that encourage offshore outsourcing. And even as Bush opposes unemployment insurance extensions for some 1 million Americans who have exhausted their benefits, his administration refuses to embrace job-creating programs that would repair the nation’s infrastructure and help balance devastated state budgets.

“The Bush administration doesn’t seem to care about jobs,” says Center for Economic and Policy Research co-founder Dean Baker. “To retain and create jobs, there have to be policy changes, and I don’t think this administration is willing to make them.”

Manufacturing: America’s Foundation Is Crumbling

“American taxpayers...do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs.”
—USWA President Leo Gerard

Manufacturing jobs traditionally have provided high wages and good benefits that allow workers to care for their families. But 2.5 million manufacturing jobs have disappeared since President Bush took office in early 2001.

Multinational corporations are transferring jobs to countries where workers earn low wages and have few or no protections. And small U.S. businesses are laying off workers or shutting their doors because they can’t meet foreign competitors’ prices.

African American workers have been hit particularly hard. Because of manufacturing job losses, the unemployment rate among African Americans is rising twice as fast as it is for whites and faster than in any downturn since the mid-1970s. “The number of jobs and the types of jobs that have been lost has severely diminished the standing of many blacks in the middle class,” says William Lucy, president of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and AFSCME secretary-treasurer.

Manufacturing job loss starts the downward spiral

The loss of good manufacturing jobs has ripped apart communities and permanently lowered living standards for families throughout the United States, including in Rockford, Ill., 70 miles from Chicago. The northern Illinois city is historically second only to Cleveland as a center for machine tooling, the making of tools used in machine manufacturing.

Machine tooling, which traditionally employs the most highly skilled manufacturing workers including members of the Machinists and UAW, is the bedrock of America’s manufacturing industry.

But the bedrock is crumbling. The Rockford area lost more than 20 percent of its manufacturing jobs—about 10,000—between May 2000 and 2003, according to MBG Information Services President and Economist Charles McMillion’s analysis of Department of Labor data.
General manufacturing jobs have been among those lost in Rockford, including jobs held by Steelworkers Local 745 members at the Goodyear tire plant. USWA members at Goodyear now number 750, down from 1,650 in 1999, before the corporation shipped the jobs to Asia and South America.

But most manufacturing jobs lost in Rockford have been in machine tooling. At Greenlee/Textron, which makes drill bits and tools for electrical contractors, about 180 Machinists now represented by IAM Local 1553 are employed today, down from about 900 in the late 1980s. The 112-year-old crown jewel of Rockford machine tooling—Ingersoll International—declared bankruptcy this spring and laid off 300 employees in Rockford and 70 in Michigan, leaving only skeleton crews of managers and a few contract workers.

“The lesson of Rockford,” says Faux, “is it disproves the free traders’ argument that America could afford to lose manufacturing jobs in areas like textiles and steel because we would ultimately triumph in global competition by making the things hardest to make. In fact, those things are machine tools—and we’re losing them.”

A loss of manufacturing jobs reverberates throughout the community—and ultimately the nation. When manufacturing factories aren’t being built, maintained or expanded, jobs disappear in areas such as construction.

“Our union has about 30 percent unemployment,” says Mark Bramble, business agent for Electrical Workers Local 364 in Rockford. “Guys burn through their unemployment, lose all their benefits, get divorced and then go where the grass looks greener or settle for working as a greeter at Wal-Mart.”

A question of national security

There’s a sense of betrayal in Rockford these days. “Free trade was sold to America with the line that it helps us export more goods,” says Eric Anderberg, who manages his family’s 37-year-old machine tool company, Dial Machines Inc. “But what’s happened is the exportation of our jobs and means of production so multinational corporations can exploit foreign labor and sell their goods back to us.”

Today Dial employs 40 workers, down from 75 in the late 1990s. It recently lost work to a lower-bidding Czech Republic manufacturer that nabbed a contract making parts for a supplier of General Electric Wind Energy Corp.

Anderberg and other Rockford employers worry that a Chinese government-owned machine tooling company, which already has bought two divisions of Ingersoll International, may now be poised to buy another—one containing intellectual property, including high-level research and design and military technology. “I cannot understand how our government can justify not only the debasement of our manufacturing industries but also our national security in a time of war,” he says.

The Rockford community and U.S. national security would get a boost from Buy America provisions House Armed Services Committee Chair Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) added to legislation authorizing the 2004 Pentagon budget.

Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), who represents the Rockford area and helped write the bill, says, “The Pentagon wouldn’t care if everything it buys is made in China.” Joined by armsmakers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the White House says the Buy America provisions are “burdensome, counterproductive and have the potential to degrade U.S. military capabilities.” But the administration does not mention jobs.

“American steelworkers are also American taxpayers, and they do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs,” says USWA President Leo Gerard.

White-Collar Jobs: America’s Growing Export

Ask anyone which sector of the U.S. economy comes to mind as the most likely to be shipped overseas, and chances are he or she will say manufacturing.

But though the United States lost 2.5 million manufacturing jobs since the Bush presidency beginning in 2001, U.S. corporations now are racing to outsource white-collar jobs—including work in computer sciences, engineering, entertainment, financial and medical services—to countries where workers earn far less.

Terry Antisdel was a Chicago-area engineering associate for Lucent Technologies Inc. and its predecessor AT&T for 35 years until his entire 42-member International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 81 was laid off in July. He figures his job will end up in India or China. “The words management used were a 'less-expensive offshore site,’ ” recalls Antisdel, who estimates Lucent will send a total of about 5,000 U.S. jobs offshore this year. “I feel let down,” he says. “Companies used to provide jobs for people, but now they’re just there to give money to executives, board members and shareholders.”

In late July, the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (WashTech), a Communications Workers of America affiliated group that helps high-tech workers win a voice at work, released a tape of a conference call in which IBM’s top human relations executives discussed transferring 3 million U.S. service jobs to countries such as China and India by 2015.

Testifying in June before a House Committee on Small Business investigating the globalization of white-collar jobs, AFL-CIO Department for Professional Employees President Paul Almeida said, “If these cost-saving jobs shifts are taken to their logical extreme, even American corporations should be wondering where their future consumers will be located and how they will buy the goods and services.”

A Forrester Research study predicts U.S. employers will move about 3.3 million white-collar service jobs and $136 billion in wages overseas in the next 15 years, up from $4 billion in 2000.

White-collar jobs going and gone

The jobs already are leaving. By the end of this year, General Electric will have sent a total of 20,000 aircraft and medical research and design jobs to India and China, according to Business Week. And the Accenture consulting firm, which incorporated in Bermuda after splitting from Enron accountant Arthur Andersen, plans to send 5,000 accounting and software jobs to the Philippines in 2004, the magazine says.

According to WashTech, Microsoft plans to eliminate at least 800 full-time call-center jobs near Dallas and shift the work to India and Canada in the next fiscal year. It would be the largest one-time firing of full-time Microsoft employees in the company’s history. WashTech says a Microsoft senior vice president recently urged company managers to “pick something to move offshore today,” though Microsoft publicly has repeated it will not lay off U.S. workers and send the jobs offshore.

While the Bush administration remains silent about offshore outsourcing, states such as New Jersey are considering corrective measures. New Jersey legislators acted after the state outsourced the electronic administration of welfare and food stamp benefits to a company that then sent the jobs to India. When New Jersey citizens called to ask about benefits, they were connected with Indian workers who gave Americanized names.

A bill authored by state Assembly member Linda Greenstein (D) would have required such offshore subcontractors to disclose to New Jersey residents their employers’ true names and locations. But even this common- sense measure had no chance in the face
of massive opposition launched by Indian and American corporate interests, such as Verizon.

“We got a copy of an e-mail Verizon sent managers in New Jersey, thanking them for sending 1,800 e-mails opposing the bill,” says Don Rice, CWA’s New Jersey legislative coordinator. Activists and legislators hope to bring the bill to a vote before the legislative session ends this year.

U.S. security at stake

Offshore outsourcing of white-collar work also raises security concerns. U.S. firms are sending mapping and other such work to India, Pakistan, China, the Philippines and other countries with lower labor costs, says John Palatiello, administrator of the Council on Federal Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services.

“This practice raises issues regarding access to data about the location of¡Kcritical infrastructure by individuals in foreign countries who have not been through any degree of security clearance and where control of access to data simply does not exist.”

Bush’s January 2002 State of the Union address made clear the danger of access to data by unfriendly foreign operatives: “Our discoveries in Afghanistan confirmed our worst fears....We have found diagrams of American nuclear power plants and public water facilities¡Ksurveillance maps of American cities and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America.”

Activists are demanding Congress review trade and tax policies that encourage white-collar offshore outsourcing. Without government intervention, warns Almeida, “short-sighted corporate policy focused on saving a few bucks in the short run will have an enormous deleterious impact on the entire U.S. economy.”

Low-Wage Jobs: Betray America’s Workers

Photo Credit: Ernie Englander/The New Press

Laid-off U.S. workers thrust into a hostile job market are discovering another ugly part of the American economy: low-wage work that pays too little to keep even a small family out of poverty.

Nearly a quarter of all U.S. workers labor in jobs that pay little but are essential to society. Sixty percent of these workers are female, and many are people of color. They care for nursing home patients and clean offices at night. They prepare food, answer call-center phones and care for our children.

These jobs generally pay less than the $8.85 hourly wage the U.S. government says it takes to keep a family of four out of poverty. Even so, many low-wage jobs offer only part-time hours, with few or no benefits. And workers in low-paying but essential jobs often are treated as disposable, quickly fired if they get sick or stay home with a sick child.

As more good jobs leave the country, the percentage of low-wage jobs keeps growing. By 2010, about 30 percent of working Americans won’t be making even poverty wages, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A Labor Department list of the 10 occupations likely to show the largest job growth this decade is dominated by jobs that typically pay poorly—food preparation, customer service, office clerking, security and food service.

This world of low-wage jobs and the workers who do them is illuminated in The Betrayal of Work: How Low-Wage Jobs Fail 35 Million Americans, published on Labor Day by the New Press. “Traditionally, there was a promise in this country that if you worked hard, you could take care of your family,” explains author Beth Shulman, an attorney and former United Food and Commercial Workers vice president. “That promise has been broken¡Kand we have built our national prosperity on their backs.”

No job is inherently low wage

Workers in low-wage jobs frequently are labeled as lacking skills and in need of training to move into better-paying positions. But while education is a traditional route to higher pay, Shulman contends no job is inherently low wage.
“Take autoworkers, who had horrible jobs that became good ones because of unions and social legislation,” she says. “The same thing must happen with currently low-paying service- sector jobs. In Las Vegas, for example, the housekeeper represented by the Hotel Employees Restaurant Employees has decent wages and benefits thanks to unionization.”

Low-wage jobs tend to imprison the workers who perform them because of what Shulman calls a “piling on” of hardships. Workers in low-wage jobs are unlikely to have sick leave or health insurance or make enough money to afford reliable transportation or child day care. At the same time, they are likely to be in inflexible situations in which being late or missing work can result in a quick firing.

“It’s not just that you make less money in these jobs, but you have none of the basic things many of us take for granted, such as health insurance, time to care for a family member, adequate child care, some kind of retirement security, even a telephone,” Shulman says. “And this applies to one in four U.S. workers.”

Gap is growing between U.S. rich and poor

As low-wage work continues to replace jobs that pay well, the U.S. economy increasingly resembles that of a less-developed nation, with a wide gulf between rich and poor. Among all western industrialized nations, the United States has the greatest income and wage inequalities, with the best-paid 10 percent of workers making 16.6 times the amount made by the lowest-paid 10 percent, according to a 2003 analysis by the United Nations Development Program. “That’s the way we’ve been moving for some time now and continue to move,” says Heather Boushey, a Center for Economic and Policy Research economist.

To reverse this trend, the United States needs to change the rules of the game, according to Shulman. “For starters, we should immediately raise the minimum hourly wage to the poverty guideline for a family of four—$8.85 an hour versus the current $5.15 hourly federal minimum wage—and then have automatic increases so there’s not a big political battle every time it needs raising. Then, all Americans should have access to affordable health care. There are a variety of ways to do this, and we should just get it done.

“Finally, all American workers should be able to care for their children—to have access to affordable child care, and to stay with them when they’re sick or go to a PTA meeting without getting fired. The consequences for the children of today’s low-wage workers are enormous—they’re following their parents into this low-wage world.”


Companies in India celebrate
"loss of American jobs"
Mike Crane
December 2004
Reprinted from: Southern Party of Georgia website

In our previous article we reported how various companies in India were employed by the Republican National Committee and the Bush Re-election campaign (see: India claims big election victory and laughs at Americans).

One interesting comment that was documented in that article was:

As Vivek Paul, Wipro VC, said after the Presidential poll, “The elections are over and so is the rhetoric; it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans.”

Well a little research has found some estimates from within India about what that meant. First and foremost, it means that India is celebrating the "loss of American jobs." Folks, that is the jobs of friends, family or perhaps even your own.

Specifically on November 4, with time zone changes, roughly a day after the polls close the following was published in the India Times:

The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

And that is why they believe that "it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans." Does this mean that American companies put their plans on "hold" to minimize the impact on a close election?

But the folks in India gloat a little more:

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

A brief look at these numbers show what they call a documented American job loss of 48,237 for the first quarter of 2004. On an annual basis this would be 192,968 American jobs. And they expect American companies to now - step out - with their outsourcing plans.

Some will say that 192,968 jobs is not very many. But as you will see in coming articles that is just what is called BPO and is not the whole picture.

Lets look at the effect of three policies that affect American jobs:

  1. Outsourcing - In this article it has been shown that it is at least close to 200,00 jobs a year for the BPO segment and expected to increase
  2. H1-B visa program - allows high tech foreigners to take American jobs here without being counted in immigration totals. Used by many companies to train personnel for their foreign outsourcing programs. There are roughly a million H1-B visas active today.
  3. Legal immigration of about 1 million a year and illegal immigration of about 3 million a year resulting in lower American wages and increased social costs.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are paying the salaries of the elected and appointed officials who are doing this to you. Is this what you want to pay for? If so, why are you reading material on this web site?

If not, you are being ignored!

It should be obvious to all that this trend can not continue forever. Are there any signs that it is getting better:

A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

That should answer that question beyond a reasonable doubt. Interesting that 15% of the outsourcing chief executives favor Red China! Remember these are the folks that make the big campaign contributions that have so much influence on many of your elected officials. How will you feel when YOUR job is sent to Red China?

If you do not agree with these policies you are being ignored and your elected officials are representing special interests more than you! If you believe that this is a serious problem it is time to get involved now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be stop these destructive trends.

The BPO and your elected officials are doing offshore calculus, are you?

BPO biggies do offshore calculus
TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2004 02:13:09 PM]

India’s silicon valley is delighted to move out of the limelight. The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

BPO bigwigs are already computing the gains from mega-offshoring plans on hold waiting for US presidential race to be over.

Though most of the industry majors refuse to comment on who will safeguard their interests better, they feel that economic benefits of transfer of jobs to low cost destinations will now overshadow the political rhetoric against outsourcing in the run up to the US poll.

The US presidential election was fueling the protests against job losses due to transfer of jobs.

“American law will remain the same and the outsourcing will go up irrespective of who wins. Already, we see our clients getting ready for bigger offshoring plans,’’ says head of a leading Delhi-based BPO firm. Insiders also feel the American clients might be more open to talk about their outsourcing plans to low-cost destinations like India now.

Though Kerry’s tax proposals that seek to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas could deter fence-sitter, analysts feel they are no more than short-term sentiment dampeners. After initially branding the shipping of jobs to countries like India and China as a threat to the US economy, Kerry has gone on record saying he can’t stop outsourcing.

Clearly, what is of greater concern is that a clear decision comes soon, irrespective of whether it favours Bush or Kerry. Though Bush is more popular, the $ 2.6 billion BPO industry is convinced that “it will soon be difficult to differentiate between Democrats and Republicans.

Obviously sector’s fate is closely tied up with the US elections, with US accounting for over 70 % of India’s IT exports. A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

 


Costly Trade With China
Millions of U.S. jobs displaced
Robert E. Scott
October 9, 2007
Reprinted from: Economic Policy Institute

Contrary to the predictions of its supporters, China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed to reduce its trade surplus with the United States or increase overall U.S. employment. The rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 1997 and 2006 has displaced production that could have supported 2,166,000 U.S. jobs. Most of these jobs (1.8 million) have been lost since China entered the WTO in 2001. Between 1997 and 2001, growing trade deficits displaced an average of 101,000 jobs per year, or slightly more than the total employment in Manchester, New Hampshire. Since China entered the WTO in 2001, job losses increased to an average of 353,000 per year—more than the total employment in greater Akron, Ohio. Between 2001 and 2006, jobs were displaced in every state and the District of Columbia. Nearly three-quarters of the jobs displaced were in manufacturing industries. Simply put, the promised benefits of trade liberalization with China have been unfulfilled.

As a matter of policy, China tightly pegs its currency's value to that of the dollar at a rate that encourages a large bilateral surplus with the United States. Maintaining this peg required the purchase of about $200 billion in U.S. Treasury Bills and other securities in 2006 alone.1 This intervention makes the yuan artificially cheap and provides an effective subsidy on Chinese exports; best estimates are that the rate of this effective subsidy is roughly 40%. China also engages in extensive suppression of labor rights; it has been estimated that wages in China would be 47% to 85% higher in the absence of labor repression. China has also been accused of massive direct subsidization of export production. Finally, it maintains strict, non-tariff barriers to imports. As a result, China's exports to the United States of $288 billion in 2006 were six times greater than U.S. exports to China, which were only $52 billion (Table 1). China's trade surplus was responsible for 42.6% of the United States' total, non-oil trade deficit. This is by far the United States' most imbalanced trading relationship. Unless and until China revalues (raises) the yuan and eliminates these other trade distortions, the U.S. trade deficit and job losses will continue to grow rapidly in the future.

Major findings of this study:

  • The 1.8 million jobs opportunities lost nationwide since 2001 are distributed among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with the biggest losers, in numeric terms: California (-269,300), Texas (-136,900), New York (-105,900), Illinois (-79,900), Pennsylvania (-78,200), North Carolina (-77,200), Florida (-71,900), Ohio (-66,100), Georgia (-60,400), and Massachusetts (-59,300) (Table 2A).

  • The 10 hardest-hit states, as a share of total state employment, are: New Hampshire (-13,000, -2.1%), North Carolina (-77,200, -2.0%), California (-269,300, -1.8%), Massachusetts (-59,300, -1.8%), Rhode Island (-8,400, -1.8%), South Carolina (-29,200, -1.6%), Vermont (-4,900, -1.6%), Oregon (-25,700, -1.6%), Indiana (-45,200, -1.5%), and Georgia (-60,400, -1.5%) (Table 2B).

China's entry into the WTO was supposed to bring it into compliance with an enforceable, rules-based regime, which would require that it open its markets to imports from the United States and other nations. The United States also negotiated a series of special safeguard measures designed to limit the disruptive effects of surging Chinese imports on domestic producers. However, the core of the agreement failed to include any protections to maintain or improve labor or environmental standards. As a result, China's entry into the WTO has further tilted the international economic playing field against domestic workers and firms, and in favor of multinational companies (MNCs) from the United States and other countries, and state- and privately-owned exporters in China. This has increased the global "race to the bottom" in wages and environmental quality and caused the closing of thousands of U.S. factories, decimating employment in a wide range of communities, states, and entire regions of the United States.

False promises

Proponents of China's entry into the WTO frequently claimed that it would create jobs in the United States, increase U.S. exports, and improve the trade deficit with China. President Clinton claimed that the agreement allowing China into the WTO, which was negotiated during his administration, "creates a win-win result for both countries" (Clinton 2000, 9). He argued that exports to China "now support hundreds of thousands of American jobs" and that "these figures can grow substantially with the new access to the Chinese market the WTO agreement creates" (Clinton 2000, 10). Others in the White House, such as Kenneth Liberthal, the special advisor to the president and senior director for Asia affairs at the National Security Council, echoed Clinton's assessment:

Let's be clear as to why a trade deficit might decrease in the short term. China exports far more to the U.S. than it imports [from] the U.S….It will not grow as much as it would have grown without this agreement and over time clearly it will shrink with this agreement.2

Promises about jobs and exports misrepresented the real effects of trade on the U.S. economy: trade both creates and destroys jobs. Increases in U.S. exports tend to create jobs in the United States, but increases in imports tend to destroy jobs as imports displace goods that otherwise would have been made in the United States by domestic workers.

The impact of changes in trade on employment is estimated here by calculating the labor content of changes in the trade balance—the difference between exports and imports. Each $1 billion in computer exports to China from the United States supports American jobs. However, each $1 billion in computer imports from China displaces those American workers, who would have been employed making them in the United States. On balance, the net employment effect of trade flows depends on the growth in the trade deficit; not just exports. Another critically important promise made by the promoters of liberalized U.S.-China trade was that the United States would benefit because of increased exports to a large and growing consumer market in China. This market, in turn, was to be based on an expansion of the middle class that, it was claimed, would grow rapidly due to the wealth created in China by its entry into the WTO. However, the increase in U.S. exports to China has been overwhelmed by the growth of U.S. imports, as shown below.

Growing trade deficits and job losses

The U.S. trade deficit with China has increased from $50 billion in 1997 to $235 billion in 2006, an increase of $185 billion, as shown in Table 1. Between 1997 and 2001, prior to China's entry into the WTO, the deficit increased $9 billion per year on average. Between 2001 and 2006, after China entered the WTO, the deficit increased $30 billion per year on average.

While it is true that exports support jobs in the United States, it is equally true that imports displace them. The net effect of trade flows on employment must look at the trade balance. The employment impacts of growing trade deficits are estimated in this paper using an input-output model that estimates the direct and indirect labor requirements of producing output in a given domestic industry. The model includes 200 U.S. industries, 86 of which are in the manufacturing sector (see this paper's methodology appendix for further details).3

The model estimates the labor that would be required to produce a given volume of exports, and the labor that is displaced when a given volume of imports is substituted for domestic output.4 The job losses presented here represent an estimate of what sectoral employment levels would have been in the absence of growing trade deficits.5

U.S. exports to China in 1997 supported 138,000 jobs, but U.S. imports displaced production that would have supported 736,000 jobs, as shown in the bottom half of Table 1. Therefore, the $49 billion trade deficit in 1997 displaced 736,300 jobs in that year. Job displacement rose to 1,000,000 jobs in 2001 and 2,763,000 in 2006. Prior to China's entry into the WTO, an average of 101,000 jobs per year were displaced by growing trade deficits between 1997 and 2001. After 2001, an average of 353,000 jobs per year were lost.

Growth in trade deficits with China has reduced demand for goods produced in every region of the United States and has led to job displacement in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as shown in Table 2A and Figure A.6 More than 100,000 jobs were lost in California, Texas, and New York each. Jobs displaced due to growing deficits with China equaled or exceeded 2.0% of total employment in states such as North Carolina and New Hampshire, as shown in Table 2B. An alphabetical list of job losses by state is shown in Table 2C.

Figure A

Table 2c

Growing trade deficits with China have clearly reduced domestic employment in traded goods industries, especially in the manufacturing sector, which has been hard hit by plant closings and job losses. Workers displaced by trade from the manufacturing sector have been shown to have particular difficulty in securing comparable employment elsewhere in the economy. More than one-third of workers displaced from manufacturing drop out of the labor force (Kletzer 2001, 101, Table D2). Average wages of those who secured re-employment fell 11% to 13%. Trade-related job displacement pushes many workers out of good jobs in manufacturing and other trade-related industries, often into lower-paying industries and frequently out of the labor market.

Some economists have quibbled with job-loss numbers extrapolated from trade flows, based on the presumption that aggregate employment levels in the United States are set by a broad range of macroeconomic influences, not just by trade flows. There is a grain of truth to this—the trade balance is but one of many variables affecting aggregate job creation in the United States.

That said, the employment impacts of trade identified in this paper can be interpreted as the "all else equal" effect of trade on domestic employment. The Federal Reserve, for example, may decide to cut interest rates to make up for job loss stemming from deteriorating trade balances (or any other economic influence), leaving net employment unchanged. This, however, does not change the fact that trade deficits by themselves are a net drain on employment.

Administration officials and other economists have argued that the capital inflow that is the mirror-image of trade deficits supports jobs in the United States by keeping interest rates lower than they would be absent this inflow. During the late 1990s, for example, these capital inflows fought rising trade deficits to a draw in terms of aggregate employment effects, and, through much of the 2000s recovery, interest-sensitive industries (housing and construction, for example) have surely expanded more than they would have absent foreign capital inflows. While these claims may be correct from a simple accounting standpoint, they do not support assertions that trade flows are a useless indicator of job loss.

First, and most simply, it is just not true that foreign capital inflows always make up trade-induced employment losses one-for-one. In the 2001 recession and the jobless recovery following, growing trade deficits accompanied aggregate job loss, even as interest rates scraped historical bottoms. Clearly, low interest rates do not always translate into enough growth in investment and consumption in interest-sensitive sectors to always sterilize the impact of growing trade deficits.

Second, the job-loss numbers identified in this report are a good measure of just how unbalanced the U.S. economy has become due to rising trade deficits. Tradable goods industries have hemorrhaged jobs, while interest-sensitive, often non-tradable, industries have seen rapid growth. At that point in the future when trade deficits begin to close (and this will happen—it is only a question of when and how), the U.S. economy will need to return many of the jobs displaced by rising trade deficits out of non-tradable and into tradable industries. Moving millions of workers back and forth between sectors is no mean trick, and accomplishing it without a recession in between will be hard; trying to do it after another couple of years of deficit growth—and an even more lopsided U.S. economy—will be even harder.

In short, while aggregate employment in the United States may well not respond job-for-job with the numbers reported in this paper on trade deficits with China, these numbers provide insight into how much harder other macroeconomic influences have to work to eliminate the employment drag from these deficits, and they provide a good (and ominous) measure of how lopsided employment growth in the U.S. economy has become owing to the unbalanced U.S.-China trade relationship.

Conclusion

The growing U.S. trade deficit with China has displaced huge numbers of jobs in the United States, and been a prime contributor to the crisis in manufacturing employment over the past six years. The current U.S.-China trade relationship is bad for both countries. The United States is piling up foreign debt, losing export capacity, and facing a more fragile macroeconomic environment. Meanwhile, China has become dependent on the U.S. consumer market for employment generation, has suppressed the purchasing power of its own middle class with a weak currency, and, most importantly, has held hundreds of billions of hard-currency reserves in low-yielding, risky assets, instead of investing them in public goods that could benefit Chinese households. Its repression of labor rights has suppressed wages, thus subsidizing its exports and making them artificially cheap. This relationship needs a fundamental change: addressing the exchange rate policies and labor standards issues in the Chinese economy are important first steps.

Methodology

This analysis utilizes an input-output model to estimate the relationships between changes in trade flows and production that could support domestic employment. The analysis covers trends in goods trade, which is dominated by manufactures. Services trade is not considered because of problems with the data, and because many of the services traded involve returns to capital and intellectual property that have little or no direct effect on employment. In addition, goods trade dominates the nation's international accounts.

This study uses the model developed in Rothstein and Scott (1997a and 1997b). This approach solves four problems that are prevalent in previous research on the employment effects of trade. Some studies look only at the effects of exports and ignore imports. Some studies include re-exports (transshipments)—goods produced outside the United States and shipped through this country to other nations—as U.S. exports. The trade data used in many studies is usually not adjusted for inflation. Finally, a single employment multiplier is often applied to all industries, despite differences in labor productivity and utilization.7

The model used here is based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment requirements tables, which were derived from the U.S. input-output tables that are published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. These tables are adjusted to 2000 price and productivity levels (BLS 2007b), in real, chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A base year with 2000 employment requirements was used to estimate the employment content of trade in all years covered in this study. This assumption was needed to control for the effects of technology. This technique isolates the effects of trade on employment from pure technology effects. This model is used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in goods trade flows in each of 200 industries. This study updates the 1987 input employment requirements table used in earlier reports in this series (Rothstein and Scott 1997a, 1997b).

This analysis requires four-digit, trade data based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (U.S. International Trade Commission 2007), deflated with industry-specific, chain-weighted price indices (BLS 2007a), which were updated using industry-specific producer price indexes (BLS 2007b).8 Trade data were downloaded from the U.S. International Trade Commission (2007) Web site in NAICS format. The data for 2006 are preliminary estimates; this report will be updated and expanded when the final 2006 trade data are released in June 2007. State-level employment effects are calculated by allocating imports and exports to the states on the basis of their share of four-digit, industry-level employment for 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau 2001).

The trade data were converted into chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A domestic employment requirements table for a particular base year was used to estimate the employment effects of trade in each year of the analysis, holding technology constant. The domestic employment requirement calculates the labor required to produce all of a given product within the United States. Thus, it reflects the complete labor content of output, including jobs indirectly supported in service industries. The base year of 2000 was chosen for this study because it was an approximate mid-point in the data covered in this study.

CPS data on employment by industry by was collected for each of the detailed sectors in the model. These data were used to calculate each state's share of national employment.

But for these purchases, the reduced demand would have put significant downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. A substantial depreciation in the dollar would begin to improve the U.S. trade deficit within a few years.

3. See Ratner (2006) for a more complete, technical description of this model.

4. For the purposes of this report, it is necessary to distinguish between exports produced domestically and re-exports—which are goods produced in other countries, imported into the United States, and then re-exported to other countries, in this case to China. Since re-exports are not produced domestically, their production does not support domestic employment and they are excluded from the model used here. See Table 1 for information about the levels of U.S. re-exports to China in this period.

5. This model assumes that everything else is held constant and the results are counterfactual estimates.

6. See the methodology appendix for computational details.

7. Other studies—see California State World Trade Commission (1996), which finds 47,600 jobs created in California from increased trade with Canada alone—have allocated all employment effects to the home state of the exporting company. This is problematic, because the production—along with any attendant job effects—need not have taken place in the exporter's state. If a California dealer buys cars from Chrysler and sells them to China, these studies will find job creation in California. However, the cars are not made in California; so the employment effects should instead be attributed to Michigan and other state with high levels of auto industry production. Likewise, if the same firm buys auto parts from China, the loss of employment will occur in auto-industry states, not in California.

8. Industry-specific producer price indices are unavailable for certain industries between 2005 and 2006. In order to construct price deflators for all 200 BLS industries, we used a combination of commodity PPIs and industry PPIs. For instance, NAICS-based industry 3331 (which maps to BLS industry 72) is composed of agricultural, manufacturing, and mining machinery manufacturing. To compute a price index for this industry, a trade-weighted average of the commodity indices for agricultural machinery and construction machinery was used as a proxy for the industry PPI. Industry PPIs were used wherever available.


Outsourcing Not the Culprit in Manufacturing Job Loss
Wes Iversen
December 9th, 2003
Reprinted from:Automation World
Productivity gains spawned by factory automation are driving a worldwide decline in manufacturing jobs, even in developing nations, says researcher.

For many Americans, the word “outsourcing” conjures up images of manufacturing job decline. But the United States is far from alone in losing manufacturing employment, points out Dan Miklovic (shown above), vice president and research director at GartnerG2, the business research arm of Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. “Recent studies show that manufacturing jobs are declining everywhere,” said Miklovic, during a Nov. 17 panel discussion on outsourcing, part of a Global Media Summit sponsored by Rockwell Automation, Milwaukee.

Over the past decade, U.S. manufacturing jobs have declined by more than 11 percent, Miklovic noted. But at the same time, Japan’s manufacturing employment base has dropped by 16 percent, while the number of manufacturing jobs in countries including Brazil have declined by some 20 percent, he pointed out. “And one of the largest losers of manufacturing jobs has been China,” Miklovic added. “We like to pick on China and say that all of these jobs are going to China, but they’re losing jobs in manufacturing as well.”

The reason for the job losses? Miklovic summed it up in one word: automation. Through automation, he said, “we are really doing a good job of improving the productivity of people.”

Miklovic reminded media attendees at the panel session that 25 percent to 30 percent of the U.S. population was at one time involved in agricultural jobs. But today, only 3 percent of Americans work in agriculture, yet they have turned the United States into a net agricultural exporter, he noted. “The same thing is now happening in manufacturing,” Miklovic said. “Through automation, through improved productivity, we’re driving the number of jobs down on a global basis.”

Job loss in India

Confirmation came from another panel participant, K. Muralidharan, senior general manager for Sundram Fasteners Ltd., a major Indian automotive parts manufacturer. In India, he said, growing use of automation is holding down manufacturing job growth despite the large amount of outsourcing work that is flowing to the country. “I find that outsourcing in India has actually cost jobs in Indian industry, though in the long term, it will probably have a positive effect on employment,” Muralidharan said.

Manufacturing employment remains at about the same level in India today as it was during the recession of the late 1990s, according to Muralidharan. “The Indian economy is booming now, and it is predicted that in the next five years, the curve will only be upward. But still, the jobs and employment are not really growing at the same pace,” said Muralidharan. “The economies of scale that have been created due to outsourcing from developed countries have forced Indian industry to take on automation heavily, which was not the case about 10 years back,” he said.

GartnerG2’s Miklovic noted that the use of automation contributes to a cyclical situation in many industries. When a U.S. manufacturer develops a new product, for example, the company has first-mover advantage for a time. But in the next phase, when other manufacturers enter the market, competition often shifts to price. In response, some U.S. producers may move manufacturing offshore to developing nations, to take advantage of lower labor costs. However, said Miklovic, they frequently find that the level of automation and technology available in developing nations is less than that of the United States.

This means that U.S. manufacturers who then invest in sophisticated automation technology at home can gain the upper hand for a time over lower-priced imports, thanks to the higher quality product allowed by the automation, said Miklovic. But the automation technology used in the developing nations eventually catches up, giving products produced there the advantage, he added.

“We see this in semiconductors all the time,” Miklovic said. “Semiconductors typically have been produced in Japan and Taiwan. But now there is a booming semiconductor market that’s starting in China.” While the density and sophistication of semiconductor chips produced in China cannot yet match that of Japan and Taiwan, said Miklovic, China’s technology is moving in that direction.

“Automation only works for a period of time,” said Miklovic. The lesson for manufacturers is that they must continually reinvest in automation and innovation, he said. “If you stand still, ultimately you lose.”


Inetekk a USA company

Corporate Site: Inetekk.com, Inc.
Inetekk was built in America by Americans!

All programming done by Americans
Sure it cost us more to build the Inetekk technology by ourselves and outsourcing to US programmers and US software developers. The prospect of sending our work abroad was never a consideration. Primarily doing so we lose the security of proprietary development to another country were we have little if any legal control regardless of how cheap that option could be. Then quality and communications is another factor, but we are also sensitive to doing business within our culture because of the process of getting what we are looking for and having the ability to have laws in effect that protect our interest in getting just what we are paying for.

Customer support by Americans
We are constantly getting offers to do our work at deep discounts by these foreign nationals, primarily India, but we are not cheap price motivated. Even our support service is run by Americans in America. We may ad to our support from Australia, but that is because they can offer the needed time frame for that region, not a cost consideration, so we can offer 24/7 seamless support for our clientele. Plus we have many Australian and New Zealander subscribers using our services and we love their accents.

Collocation in San Jose, CA USA
When we first started building the Inetekk systems, we went from a shared server in Florida to needing our own servers. We could have co located our servers in a foreign company for 1/3rd the cost but we realized by doing so our proprietary technology and secured databases would be at risk. Not a good idea. So we contracted with a well know company in San Jose. This was expensive but a very good decision. As the Internet has grown, the necessity to keep your data well secured is of the utmost importance and again, keeping this service local has proved to be a very good decision.

Servers built in USA
As we started building our server farm, again quality and service were the key issue. We went to a local shop in San Diego and hired them to build them. The first server, unaware to us, was built from foreign parts and within weeks the server started having failure issues. From then on we have demanded that all parts be US made as best we could and we have never had issues since. Our farm now runs with US made servers like NetAps, Intel, etc.

IT services by Americans
As with any server farm and web systems, having good IT professional's is imperative, and again, we hired US IT database engineers and server engineers. Same reason as our security is key and far more important than cost. For example, to use foreign IT services cost around $10 per hour. US costs are around $150 per hour. In my humble opinion, you get what you pay for.

The bottom line is future forecasting. I subscribe to the belief that our customers deserve the very best. Not only in the quality of the service, or the best customer support, but also security and the dedication to keep Inetekk around for the long run delivering the very best.

It seems the the big corporations in the US have lost sight to this fact and are all heading for serious issues as they continue down this road to losing control of their companies to the quest for seeking the lowest prices regardless. Take the Mattel toy company for example. Not long ago all their toys were US built. Today, they have lost major market share because the toys the sell now coming from Red China are toxic and low quality. It is scandalous that our children are getting toys painted with lead paint.

The future is at risk.

Your job is secure if you are your boss
Bill Repp
October 14, 2007
Reprinted from: commercialappeal.com

Q: I've been out of work for nearly five months, and the prospect of getting a job in my field (mechanical engineering) doesn't look good -- unless I want to move my family across the country. I've always wanted to have my own business, but I'm worried about the comparative lack of job security that goes with it. What's your opinion? I'm over 50 and in good health. -- Deidre N.

A: You have a lot going for you: you've always wanted to have your own business, you're over 50, and you have good health. Security? You don't have it now, and you didn't have it when you got laid off. I don't think there's anything more secure today than working for yourself. Companies will cut any costs they have to just to stay in business, and the popular trend for the past several years has been to cut staff -- fast. And consider this: when you work for someone else -- big company or small -- only a few people -- your boss and one or two more managers -- control your future security. But with your own business, if you lose a few customers, you still have others to back you up. I've always thought that having my own business gives me more security, not less, than I'd have if I worked for someone else.

Another stunning fact of life: at 50, you're more likely to be more successful at hiring yourself than trying to convince someone else to do it. Fortune magazine once ran a cover story: "Finished at Forty," detailing the corporate trend of hiring younger people. As one CEO put it: "Why should I hang on to someone who's over 50? He's tired of the long hours and wants to spend more time with his family. He probably hasn't kept up with the newest technology. I have to pay him $75,000 a year or more, and he argues with me. I can hire someone in his 30's and pay him $35 to $40,000. He'll work 60 to 70 hours a week without complaining, and he won't argue with me. This is a no-brainer."

What Do YOU Want?

My best advice: do what feels right for YOU. When you're motivated and committed to a career you really like, the money and security usually take care of themselves. There's a big difference in putting in 50-60 hours a week into a job you love, and one you just feel so-so about. If you don't look forward to going to work when you get up in the morning, you're in the wrong job. Life is too short to work at a job you don't like.

Think carefully about how you want to spend one-third to half of the rest of your life (your waking hours). It you really think it's time to have your own business, then write your answers to these questions. They'll also form the foundation for a good business plan -- an absolute must if you want to succeed.

How would you describe your business (name, location, product/service?)

How would you describe your total target market -- the customers who will be willing to pay you for your products/services?

What industry, local, or consumer trends or needs will you react to?

How would you analyze, and then describe your competition (how many; current prices; their strengths/weaknesses)?

What are your marketing and business goals?

What are your first-year growth problems -- and how will you solve them?

What finances will you need to start the business and keep it going until it can stand on its own? How will you get them?

What's your operating plan for the next five years? (At least half of the new businesses started each year fail within the first 12 months. You must plan for a long-term business.)

What's your management plan to control and develop your basic operation/service?

What equipment, inventory, labor, space, overhead do you need?

Talk to Your Banker

Once your business plan is ready, prepare your personal financial statement (all your assets and liabilities). Next. prepare a projected balance sheet and profit and loss statement for your business -- at least for the first year. Then it's time to meet with your banker.

A good banker can advise you on the likelihood of your succeeding in getting a loan. He or she can point you in the right direction to get additional information. An excellent source for learning about starting your own business is on-line: Search for "sba.gov" and you'll discover a site that has all you need to know to write your business plan and finance your business. You'll even have models of nearly 100 business plans to study and benefit from. The rest is up to you -- and your energy and commitment.

Today I got #20 out of 438 million for submit or post on Google, #1 for submit or post classifieds out of 56.7 million and for submit or post classified I got #'s 1,2,5,21,26,27,39,41,45, and 46. I get good results also for submit or post classified ads, submit or post classified ads free, and submit or post classified ads free, online.

For the keywords free premium email leads I have the first 5 returns and the 10 return on page 1 of Google. I am anxious to see what this will start doing for me. This really is working!

Lonny Heiner


I am amazed at finding my website at the top of the list in Google. Try keywords "premium leads verified" to find my press release and my PremiumLeads.biz website. I also use the Veretekk SEO training to get my wife's website at the top for the key words "art and fine craft front range". Her website is Rosahnda.ws I thnk Veretekk is the best in teaching SEO and I do not find anyone else doing it. Other website builders give me the feeling that it is "optional" and they do not tell you where to get the training. Score a big one for Veretekk!

Veretekk Internet Marketing At Its Best

Today I had a pleasant surprised whilst researching for an article on the importance of personal branding to improve SEO results. I discovered that as a result in putting into practise what is preached by the trainers in Veretekk and by use of the Veretekk Search Engine Marketing Portals it is possible to get prominent positions in Google.

I was a Silver Veretekk member for two years before I discovered the power that lies within the Veretekk Marketing System. It is not an easy system to understand but with the expert help of trainers such as Butch Hamilton and Leo Silvestri, I began a journey which is leading me on the road to my goals.

My business is growing with out having to send out emails, surf for hours, join traffic exchanges and safe lists. My sites are taking on a life of their own and people are contacting me, and as this success is growing, I am able to pass on what I am learning to others and it is most rewarding.

I still have much to learn in this ever changing Internet world but can honestly say there is nothing to match the Veretekk Marketing System
