Potty Training a Dog: How to Do it easily

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
by Donald Travolta

All dog owners should be responsible enough to learn the necessity of potty training a dog. This activity considered to be a useful task is vital if you want to maintain the cleanliness of your home even with a pet dog roaming around.

If you think that potty training a dog is not an easy task to fulfill, you will be amazed to find out that there are some steps that can make it easier. You will soon uncover that following these steps can turn your home into a clean one. At the same time, it is also the key to avoid repetitive cleaning dog’s messy poop and pee. This is very applicable if you have puppies at home.

Remember that the best age desirable for potty training a dog is during the younger years; precisely during their puppy days. You can start by training the dog to go to the same spot where is allowed to poop or pee. Take him to that spot whenever he needs to void so that he will get used to that spot. Thus, prevent the incidence of seeing poops or pees anywhere inside the house.

For you to be able to take him to the spot, you should be watchful on the dog’s action indicative that he needs to poop or pee. This signal signs are essential to take account of when potty training a dog. Once you notice that he unceasingly sniffs the floor or seems to be restless walking to and fro, try to take the dog to his “voiding spot.” When he voids, then you have to remember that action as a signal that the dog needs to poop or pee.

Next step is to familiarize the dog about a specific command that you will utter every time you observe that he needs to urinate or defecate. This is often carried out when you have observed that the dog is now accustomed to where he needs to go for a poop or pee. Try to say this command phrase every time you see the indicative signals for voiding. One phrase that you can use as a command for voiding is “Go out and poop/pee.”

When potty training your dog, you as the dog owner or trainer should be patient enough until you achieve the results you wanted to see. Never shout or show any signs that you are frustrated with the dog whenever he fails to comply with your instructions. At times when he poops or pees inside the house keep your temper and just clean the mess and keep on with the task of potty training your dog. The dog will eventually learn later on.

On the other hand, never forget to commend the dog for a job well done. You can give him a reward, which can either be food or just words of commendation just to show him that you are proud of him for his flattering actions. This tip is one effective approach when potty training a dog.

Potty training is one of the most challenging tasks that dog owners should be well-aware of. If you are interested to learn more read my blog about potty training a dog.

How To Get More Opt-Ins To Your Email List

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
by John Anghelache

If you have a big enough list you can write your own ticket.

Internet marketers often complain they are not getting enough opt ins. The main reason is their websites don’t sell visitors on joining the list.

So, in this article, I’m going to share a proven way to generate leads. I’ll even give you a perfect example. You can modify it to drive traffic to your website.

You’ll get the details in a moment. First, let’s clarify a couple of things. People don’t join email lists for the heck of it. They want a valuable exchange to give you an email address.

Offer a free report… or audio… or video. Or a combination. Make it relevant to the prospects. In fact, make sure the free info solves a problem.

That’s how you deliver value.

The other thing is, make it a cinch to get on your list. Don’t ask for too much personal info. Your best bet is to just get their email address. That’s it.

Third, in addition to the free report or whatever, make sure the prospect knows you’ll be sending periodic emails. Otherwise, people will join your list just for the freebie. Then they unsubscribe. Keep them on the list by offering a free ezine along with the free report. This is just basic lead generation marketing.

Let’s put this in a practical frame. Say you want to build a list of bodybuilders. Here’s the copy for a simple name squeeze page that will do the job…

Would you like to beat the stock market?

Free Reports Reveal Five Proven Ways To Create Fast Profits!

If you want to boost your cash flow almost overnight… then… you’ll want to read these five reports. Because they reveal…

How to add 10 to 25 pounds of pure muscle mass on your frame in less than 90 days.

2. How to get free pay per click website visitors and boost search engine rankings at the same time.

3. How to tap into hot email lists made up of perfect customers… and… only pay for access if and when you make a sale.

4. How to use offline media to flood your website with visitors.

How to get an insider’s edge on projected price activity 30 minutes before the stock market opens.

These reports will be sent to you by email. Fill in your email address below right now. In a few minutes you’ll get to read these reports… and… gain a big advantage over other traders.

The Truth About Integrity

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
by Kenrick Cleveland

“The most important persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity.” –Zig Ziglar

As a teacher (and a father) it’s my fervent hope to impart in my students and children the things in life that are most important which I learned the hard way. Where persuasion is concerned, this is especially the case. I’m not acting as a cop or judging or attempting to monitor my students. I am, however, hoping that the error of my ways can be avoided. A huge part of that is acting and living with integrity.

My sincerest hope as we move forward with these social influences skills, is for you to always apply ethics and integrity.

Integrity and ethics go hand and hand with congruity. Being congruous is a key component of persuasion. When someone really screws up and apologizes, you can tell when they’re really sorry and when they’re not. You just feel it in your gut.

When we come from a place of integrity and ethics, it allows us to use these powerful skills for good. We have a clean, clear conscience and people feel easy and comfortable trusting us. Integrity is something I discuss often in my coaching and teaching. It’s integral to the process of persuasion. I encourage and promote these without being preachy, but I do so earnestly because I know how important they’ve been for me in my progress as a persuader.

My belief is, that without ethics, integrity and congruity, a sales person will never rise above mediocrity.

One of the most valuable perceptions a prospect can have of us as salespeople is trustworthiness. When we’re in line with integrity, there’s no need to fake it.

When I really started living my persuasion life with total integrity, I noticed amazing things start to happen for me and for my business. I began to draw more of what I wanted to me, I began to draw higher end clients and students who were also trustworthy whereas previously many of my clients were not people who I really wanted to do business with.

Having built up that aspect of my personality, having an abundance of integrity in the bank is like having built up my ‘f-you’ money. I absolutely know that I can walk away from any situation which is not comfortable because I no longer “need” to take on just anyone but could be very selective in my processes. Consider the benefits of integrity in that you never have to compromise yourself again. It’s an amazing feeling.

Revitalize Your Approach to Attract the Best Leads

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
by Cathy Yeatts

Are you working yourself dizzy trying to build your mlm business, but feel like you?re getting nowhere with your prospects? Maybe it’s time to pause, take a breath and rethink your approach.

The ability to answer the following questions and to effectively put those answers into practice is essential to achieving the growth you desire for your home business.

1. Who is my target group, and what are their needs?

2. What am I marketing?

3. How am I marketing this?

The answer to Question 1 really just involves some basics of human interaction. Everybody loves to feel understood. You’ll get a lot further with your target market if you understand what they’ve been through and what their needs are, but first, you must clearly establish who this target market is. Are they young women looking for the newest breakthrough in skin care that will help give them greater confidence? Are they those who have suffered with health problems and are seeking a new answer in nutrition? Or are they stay-at-home moms needing to earn money from home? Identify these things, and you can establish yourself as they answer they need.

It’s a good practice to put yourself in the place of your target market. What frustration have they met with? Try to empathize with what they might be feeling. Empathy is a wonderful tool, in life and in business.

Never undervalue the role that emotions play in buying and selling. Don’t worry that it is unethical to appeal to emotions in marketing. It is simply realistic. Actions almost always follow emotions.

How did you answer Question 2? If you said, “I’m marketing my company’s products and business opportunity,” you need to shift your thinking. You actually need to be marketing your number one commodity, YOU!

If you doubt that, consider that there are over 28.7-billion* people out there selling business opportunities right now. Your target market could just as easily go with any of them. So the important aspect in your marketing isn’t the product or the opportunity, but the why.

Give your prospects a reason to link themselves to you. Show yourself to be a leader in your field by providing authoritative content. Make yourself available by including your contact information on your site and on the advertising you put on the net. Be quick to return emails and phone calls. Isn’t that the kind of sponsor you’d like to work with?

The final thing to consider when setting up your marketing is, “How am I presenting this?” Well . . . that is a topic that would take many articles to write about! But I can give a few pointers here.

First of all, make use of all the free advertising space on the Internet. YouTube and Squidoo are just a couple of the avenues you can use to make your face, your name and your business familiar on the web. You could also invest in banner ads that appear on certain sites, or use a pay-per-click service, such as Google Adwords.

Articles are a great way to promote yourself and your business. As you’re writing, keep in mind the types of keywords your target audience might be typing into the search engine boxes and incorporate those words or phrases often into your text.

If article writing is not your cup of tea, outsource your writing projects using a service like Elance or Shelancers. (Yes, there are people out there who like to do the things you consider a drag.)

Disperse your content through the Internet using one of the many article directories available, like GoArticles, or EzinArticles.com.

Reassess your marketing techniques often and use these tips to give your network marketing business the jumpstart it needs.

Cash Gifting - Three Characteristics that Lead to Success

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
by Ron Fara

Cash Gifting can ultimately change the lives of people for the better. It is powerful in the fact that in order for a business to succeed in Cash Gifting, it takes a unique person that has a combination of three specific traits. Therefore, people with these three traits can surely be successful in pursuing their passion for helping others and themselves.

Anyone who is knowledgeable and organized can run a business. Whether that business fails or succeeds is another story. However, if your calling in life is to run a Cash Gifting business, you will automatically possess these three unique qualities.

A person who is considering starting a Cash Gifting program has probably already been blessed with these three characteristics. These three characteristics are: empathy, determination and faith.

The important characteristic you must have is empathy for others. Cash Gifting is all about helping others while helping you. You must have empathy in your heart in order to truly become successful in this business and to help others with their financial burdens in life.

Consideration is an essential quality in this business. You must be considerate of those who are having financial difficulties and are not able to live quality lives because of their financial situation. You must have consideration in your heart, in order to portray a sense of caring to the people you wish to invite onto your Cash Gifting team.

Without consideration, you will lack the ability to move forward. People will not follow you, nor will they care what you have to offer. You must show consideration for their feelings, lives and financial situation.

Drive is an important quality to help you move forward and grow your business. Once you have that consideration for others, you will begin to feel a drive within you that will motivate you to do what you can to help these people, while in the process, you will help yourself.

Confidence is another important quality you must have in order to grow in this business. You must have confidence in the legal gifting program that you choose, confidence in the people you invite to your team, and confidence in yourself. This quality is critical in your success. Without confidence in all of these areas, you cannot succeed.

These traits are unique in the fact that a person must have all three in order to succeed in the Cash Gifting business. Compassion, motivation and trust are all important separately. However, a person blessed with all three traits will have the power to succeed and the power to change the lives of others and their own for the better.

This internet business gave us our financial freedom

Saturday, August 30th, 2008
by John Wallen

I walked across the field where we were having our campfire to get a better look at the summer stars, and there it was our milky way with the big dipper hanging there in the Minnesota sky, bigger and brighter than ever. It’s an incredible view, thousands of stars in every direction.

It stays so light for so long up here it’s easy to forget the time, just put more wood on the campfire, kick back with an ale, and contemplate the day we all had, and before you know it you realize it’s midnight. It happens all the time when your up here doing this with your friends.

I want to get up and take a walk in the morning. The road out front follows the lake for a couple of miles, and it feels good to get out after coffee and get some exercise before getting the boat ready for a day of walleye fishing. This lake is called Shagawa, and I always have good luck.

When the week is up we’ll head down to the north woods of Wisconsin for a few days and hang out in one of those parks. The weather is getting hot, we will probably put the fishing gear away for a while and find a remote sandy beach where we can go swimming and take in some trails.

We do things like this all the time, we live for the summer, and have made a pack to keep creating the income needed to have this kind of financial freedom. About six years ago we started to help each other learn the various ways of making money with internet marketing.

This was the best decision we made. After a while we were leaving our going no where jobs where we got only one to two weeks vacation, and got serious making some plans. Now we’re all working from home, and as we kept putting our heads together we started making more money.

We found ourselves a business that taught us the skills to become expert marketers, and now make a fantastic income marketing that affiliate opportunity, and the marketing software that comes with it. We make money in this internet business even while were out hanging around.

All the money we are making is directly deposited into our bank accounts. You never have to wait for a check in the mail. They always keep this fresh and new, and keep going the extra mile, it’s amazing. We have something that really works well for us. Where are we going next.

Online Video Advertising Methods and Formats - An Overview

Friday, August 29th, 2008
by Mark Robertson of ReelSEO.com

With the incredible rapid growth that online video sharing and video search sites are realizing, more and more advertisers are pumping money into video advertising. According to the latest research, online video advertising revenues in the US are expected to reach $7.1 billion by 2012 which is a 72 percent compound annual growth rate for the next five years. In 2008, the projections are just shy of $1billion.

Since video sites have been realizing more and more traffic growth, they have had a unique opportunity to innovate and test various different online video ad formats. And the advertisers as well are more than happy to experiment as they are looking to these leaders to develop the most effective online video advertising formats. Traditionally, pre-roll, mid-roll, or post-roll ad formats (aka in-stream ads) have been favored by advertisers due to the availability of inventory and prominence of the advertisement itself.

Pre-Roll Format - Ads, typically videos in duration of 15 or 30 seconds are streamed before the video itself plays. This make the advertising incredibly prominent but causes plenty of issues with regard to user friendliness and many studies show this format to be unpopular with users.

Post-roll Video Ads: In post-roll ads, just like pre-roll, a 15 or 30 sec clip is streamed at the end of a video itself. This is usually launched in conjunction with pre-roll as well as often times, the advertiser never gets their ad seen as users most often only watch part of the video.

Mid-Roll Format - With mid-rolls, a short clip is streamed in the middle (sometimes every X minutes) of video content that is playing. This tends to be less annoying to users as they are acustomed to this format in television advertising.

As stated earlier, due to the demand, many of these video websites have begun to test and offer new, innovative ad solution for video. One of these experimental format is the In-Player ad: With in-player ads the player skin itself can be used to place relevant images or text content for the advertiser so that the ad is displayed for the entire time that the video is played.

Contextual in-video advertising seems to be the way of the future with many different sites attempting to match videos with advertisements that are most relevant to the subject matter. Users like this format more as well as it does not disturb the experience of watching the entire video. This quality of the format makes it one of the most promising advertising formats for the future and there are many diverse ways in which to serve either images, clips, or text ads.

Some of the video sites like to go through the video and include only relevant in-video text advertisements, which match the contents of the video and at the same time it does not disturb the process of video watching by the viewer. Youtube was one of the first sites to adopt this format as a standard and it is called Overlay Video Ads.

I have given you a brief overview of the most common formats of video ads that are being tested and utilized at the moment. That being said, with growth being what it is, and video discovery as new as it is, we will certainly see many different companies innovating in regards to developing new and exciting formats for online video advertising.
