What options do you have for avoiding bankruptcy? More than likely, there are several options available to you that you have not even considered. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, before doing so, consider these solutions first. With a bit of work, you can avoid the hassle of filing bankruptcy, the cost of hiring attorneys and the black mark on your credit report.

Debt consolidation may be one option for you, for example. You can avoid bankruptcy by consolidating all of your loans into one monthly payment. Then, you have just one payment to make each month, therefore making it less likely you will miss payments or be charged late fees. Another solution available to some is to use equity that they have in their home. By cashing out some of that equity, you can pay off your debt and avoid having to file bankruptcy at all.

With the help of bankruptcy prevention services, you can work out a settlement or debt agreement with lenders, too. This means you will pay one lump payment to settle the debt and be done with it. For some people, this is the best way to get out of debt even faster. Take a few minutes to contact a service to help you find solutions to avoiding this black mark.

As you walk through the patio and into the observatory of my house, you will notice a three seater metal bench placed just at a tiny corner of the covered patio. Coated in green, how can such a lifeless-looking cold metal structure be providing me with immense satisfaction and joy almost daily?

I remembered its humble origins. I never had this metal bench all the while. It was on a very dark day to begin with that my best friend Peter Duss brought it in to the house. Peter said it was a gift to me, and he carried it onto the patio with his wife during that slightly breezy evening.

That day was one of the darkest days of my life. It was so because I had just returned from the hospital, with news of the results of the blood tests for my son who was diagnosed with almost complete bone marrow failure. There would need to be an international search for a bone marrow donor, as this auto immune disease would quickly wreck his health. I was crying.

Peter told me the metal bench placed on the patio would allow me time to sit there to spend with my son when he would be discharged from the hospital. It would be a great place to bond with my son again, and to enjoy the ambience of the evenings together on the patio, to watch whatever was happening around together and to enjoy the breeze, and the sounds of the night together with my son.

This was exactly what we did.

The metal bench was to be the focus place where father and son would be together for many nights, just being together to face the difficulties ahead.

In the end, after numerous sessions of chemotherapy, and treatment, my son was blessed with a recovery, and the green metal patio bench remained in its place.

It is now 4 years past this episode, and the patio chair is still providing that opportunity to bond with anyone in the family and with friends.

If ever you wish to give a gift to someone dear, to someone you love, consider that a patio chair can give immense meaning and provide opportunities for family bonding.

I know… this green metal patio bench did exactly that, and both the gift and the giver have a special place in my heart.

The Money Is In The List:

I am certain you have heard the online marketing Super Quote ‘The money is in the list’. I can guarantee you there is no greater method that will bring you greater success online than this method.

For those of you who have not heard of this quote before, I will give you the basic outline for what is involved in starting an autoresponder email service yourself.

1. You sign up to an autoresponder service. A large proportion of these services are free. But each service differs in the services that they provide. For example, the format that is available for sending your autoresponder messages in e.g., text or html format. The choice in providers of autoresponder services is up to you. I won’t give you any biased links here, but please do the research and make a decision, decided around the ideas and/or requirements you want to create in this exact task.

2. Set up your autoresponder messages in a sequence that you want your prospects to receive them. (A more detailed mention shortly about this important task.)

3. Cut and paste your html code etc, provided by your autoresponder service. So that your prospects can sign-up to your email list from your website.

This is a basic 3 step process which gives you an outline of just how simple this set-up process is.

The real skill, mentioned in step 2 above, although not difficult, is in writing the autoresponder messages you are going to send to your signed-up prospects. There is a need for a real structure and purpose in the way you attempt this task. And I will tell you how right now! So lets begin.

We all from an early age have been trained as consumers. From the first moment for example, we saw our first 30 seconds of television, we were instantly introduced to the wonderful world of both ‘Direct and Indirect Advertising’. Both these words direct and indirect are very important when it comes to online marketing. In my opinion direct advertising does not work online at first, and should not be attempted until later. This direct advertising may have worked online initially in the past, but thanks to such online issues as spam, this method is not effective at all in the beginning. Indirect advertising however is what should be used, and this provides a ‘Conditioning’ phase for your potential buyers who have newly signed-up to your autoresponder list.

When targeted potential customers visit your website for the first time, they arrive because they are searching for specific information. And secondly, they may choose to purchase an item or service from your website, as a pure result of the information you are providing, in order to complete or complement the provided information contained on your website.

The structure of the information you provide in your autoresponder messages should therefore follow this same ‘Cause & Effect’ structure. Simply put, you are providing information that will complete or complement a product or service you are promoting indirectly. In online marketing you will hear the word ‘Pre-selling’ mentioned a lot, and this is what pre-selling is, a simple providing for a cause and effect event.

I must mention the word ‘Trust’ at this point, because it is an absolute needed commodity on the internet, and leads into the whole concept and purpose of ‘Branding’. We have all heard of the bad things that can happen online with credit card fraud etc, its a long list. And it is absolutely 100% certain that your potential customers have also heard of these facts. So you should be aware that every person who visits your website for the first time is already on the back foot. So it is your job to build a potential customers trust in your website, so that when they may visit your website again, they have a feeling of complete ease. And let me assure you this trust does need to be earned on your behalf and you should be aware of this always. I will add at this point the statement, ‘If you are not serious about the product or service you are promoting then just don’t bother doing it in the first place’. If you are not committed, you as a result, have no set purpose for what you are trying to achieve. If your customers suffer your website will suffer. So how do we build ‘Trust’?

Branding is a tool by which we associate trust. Think of a brand name product. Ask yourself the question how do you feel about that product? Do you feel at ease buying that product? If the answer is yes, then it is for the reason that you know and trust that product. Why? Because you know when you buy it, you know exactly what to expect. If you answer no, it would be mainly for the reason that the product is unreliable, because you are not sure about what to expect. This idea of branding is essential in your autoresponder messages, because you have the task to condition your potential customers to positively associate your website, business name or logo etc, to what they should positively expect from your website and its products.

(Note: If a customer or website visitor sends you a question etc, you should always respond ASAP. If there is a problem work out a solution ASAP. Treat your customers etc, the exact way you want to be treated yourself. This note is absolutely essential, if you want to retain your brand image)

So how do I use all this information in my own autoresponder messages? Good question, so lets answer it! What I have discovered that works effectively, lies in the exact structure of your autoresponder emails.

1. Introduce yourself, both personally and the website ideas you represent.

2. Send your subscribers only value information which helps their own website or internet purpose. These emails need to be set-up in an autoresponder process multiple times. Over time through this strategy, you are making your subscribers feel completely at ease. By constructing informal high value informational autoresponder messages, you are indirectly consistantly associating your ‘Brand Name’ with a feeling of ‘Ease’ and ‘Trust’.

3. Once you have established point 2 effectively. You can begin to indirectly pre-sell different products. Why? Because your subscriber is now at ease and your subscriber trusts exactly what you are saying, because you have conditioned this behavior. Value informal information supplied at first simply lets a potential customer associate your brand with exactly what it represents.

4. After a set period of time you can at this point ‘Direct Sell’ a customer, because they absolutely know your brand and trust your purpose. And if you have been effective from points 1 through 3 your strategy will have a maximum effect in sales.

The big players online have email lists that consist of up-to and over 300,000 subscribers. How did they achieve these numbers of subscribers?

Subscriber lists can be gained from numerous traffic means. Search engines, PPC, e-Book links, forming joint ventures, word of mouth, this list can just go on and on. But no matter what means you use in gaining traffic to your website, a very large proportion of website visitors will be untargeted. In that they will have little interest in what your website provides, they are just simply surfing the net and/or do not know what they are looking for. This is wasted traffic and a pure waste of potential customers, but only if you are not aware of this. So it is essential, I have found to position your autoresponder subscribe box on multiple website pages, and I try to use a (1) x (2) format.

(1) Is the question that I pose to my targeted traffic so that they may sign-up for further information.
And (2) are the 2 seperate questions that I pose that are open and appeal to a larger audience.

For example: (1) Learn exact answers to effective affiliate marketing methods by subscribing here. (2) Making an income online is easier than you imagine when you gain these skills. (2) Free - This is your complete guide to show you how to create a real online income stream.

This is only a general example guide, but gives you an exact idea of my own 1 x 2 strategy. It is open in its format, and just does not only appeal to your target audience who may just be interested in affiliate marketing. But is also open to untargeted traffic who may have never even considered the idea of being able to make money online.

Tip: Free Manual traffic surfing sites are ignored by most as a source of website traffic of any value, and so they should be if they are not approached with purpose. But they can be a real source of potential subscribers. Build yourself a webpage containing your subscriber box and write content within the page that appeals to all who may read it. Use this page as you would with your first autoresponder message. Introduce yourself and your website purpose. I myself have built a very large responsive email list using this exact strategy.

*The Absolute Ultimate Autoresponder Tip:
Provide your autoresponder messages with a link where potential customers can simply download your messages in a pdf format. Why?

1. This gives your sign-ups the opportunity to gain an online solid product that they download to their own computers desktop. Your pdf document may even remain on their desktop for quite a while. PDF is harder to discard, you have to manually move it to your trash can. Plain Email messages are just read once and are very easily discarded as you know.

2. You can give your potential customers the opportunity to use your pdf documents in there own autoresponder messages or on their own websites. Thus you have created an effective form of viral marketing, simply because you should have at least your website address embedded in the pdf document. There are many ideas in the ways you can use pdf format. I am certain you will come up with hundreds of new ideas in the way you can use effectively this exact method.

I hope that the information provided in this not so quite short article is of a real value in your own internet marketing efforts. Selling online in all forms, is a task that requires an immense ongoing knowledge and effort if you plan to be really successful, but this task should always remain fun, this is exactly how I treat it. Internet marketing as a general topic has so much value information readily available, and I challenge you at this point to go and seek it out. Try differnet ideas and methods, try completely new ideas of your own. Find that system that simply works well for you and expand on it. Remember always, there are no limits in your life or online, only the limits you place upon yourself. So go, seek and succeed.

A small ad can generate a greater return on your investment than
any other type of advertising. You can also use it in a variety
of media. For example, I often get profitable results from the
same small ad in all of the following:

* Internet - posted as a classified ad at websites and in email
newsletters (ezines). * Print - run as a classified or display
ad in magazines. * Direct Mail - printed on a postcard and sent
to targeted mailing lists. * Email - added as a “signature” to
the bottom of my email messages.

A small classified or display ad doesn’t provide enough space to
generate sales directly from the ad. Instead, use the ad to
generate inquiries from prospects seeking more information or to
generate visitors to your store or website. Apply your usual
selling procedure to close sales when you get the inquiry or
visitor.

A SIMPLE 4 STEP PROCEDURE

By trial and error I developed the following 4 step procedure
for creating successful little classified or display ads. You
can follow this same simple procedure to successfully create
your own profitable little ads.

STEP 1: PROMOTE ONE PRODUCT TO ONE TARGETED MARKET

Select one product or service to promote and tailor your ad to
one targeted market. You can develop ads for many different
products and target them to many different markets. But each ad
will be most effective when it promotes one product to one
targeted market.

STEP 2: DEVELOP A HEADLINE WITH YOUR STRONGEST BENEFIT

The headline is the most important part of your ad. It captures
the reader’s attention and provides a compelling reason to read
your ad. The most effective headline clearly promotes your
strongest benefit to readers in your targeted market. For
example, “How To Build Your MLM Downline Fast” will immediately
attract the attention of most network marketers. It offers the
solution to their biggest problem… how to build their downline
sales organization.

STEP 3: REINFORCE YOUR HEADLINE WITH BODY COPY

Keep your body copy brief. Include a few power words to
reinforce the benefit promoted in your headline. For example,
“Quick! Easy! Immediate results guaranteed!” could be used as
body copy to reinforce the sample headline in Step 2.

End your body copy by telling the reader exactly how to respond
to your ad. Keep it simple and make it easy. For example, “Call
1-800-123-4567 for FREE information TODAY!”

STEP 4: REVISE AND TEST — OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Keep trying to increase the number of responses from your ad.
Test different headlines, different body copy, different media.
Test even minor changes in your ad. I’ve seen ad responses jump
dramatically after simply enclosing the headline in quotation
marks. I’ve also seen ad responses to a different ad drop after
making the same change. The only way to know if something works
is to test it.

Test only one change at a time or you won’t know which change
produced the new result. Be sure to code each version of your ad
so you can track the results from it. Whenever a new “test”
version of your ad produces better results than your standard
version, make it your new standard version. Continual testing
enables you to gradually increase the response rate and
profitability of your little ad. I once built the response to a
recruiting ad printed on a postcard from 3 percent to over 20
percent this way.

Use this simple four step procedure to create your own small
ads. If you already use small ads, apply this procedure to your
existing ads to increase their effectiveness and profitability.
The results will surprise you.

Not sure where to begin when planning for your honeymoon? When wedding planning, you should start discussing ideas with your spouse-to-be. Will you travel domestically or internationally? What type of honeymoon do you desire? Will it be part of a destination wedding? If you’re thinking along the lines of exotic beaches and ethnic foods, you most likely will want to plan to travel abroad.

If you’re looking for a quaint, quiet, lazy, get-away you may opt to plan for a scenic bed & breakfast overlooking the mountains somewhere domestically. Regardless of where you decide to go, the following tips will help you get there safe and unscathed from mental anguish:

1. Use the services of a travel agent. Their expertise and knowledge of packages and deals will help you save an ample amount of money as well as time.

2. Start planning your trip early. This will give you sufficient time to research your trip and find the exact accommodations that you want. Some places reserve up to a year in advance for popular seasons and resorts!

3. Before you book your trip, decide where you’re willing to splurge and what things you’re willing to skip out on. This will assist you in your planning and budgeting.

4. Take advantage of any agency that’s willing to provide free information; whether it be a website or toll-free number. Nevertheless, beware of agencies that offer promises that sound too good to be true. They most likely are.

5. Make arrangements in your maiden name if you haven’t had time to change all of your legal documentation with your new married name. This can be especially frustrating if you’re travelling abroad and the name on your passport and birth certificate do not coincide with your travel ticket. It’s better to play it safe and make sure that your name matches on every document you have until you return from your travels.

6. Expect the unexpected. You can have a plan and a budget written, that doesn’t always mean that everything will go according to plan. Carry a sense of humor and good spirits. You’ll have to remain cool and collected. After all, this is your once in a lifetime honeymoon. Why let the small stuff get to you?

7. Bask in all of your glory! Let everyone know that you’re on your honeymoon! You’ll most likely receive complimentary champagne, mints, candies, or a even gift basket in your room. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

It’s hard enough to be a teenager but if your teen is suffering from acne and adolescence at the same time you may have some questions. Acne and adolescence may go hand-in-hand but there are ways to improve the situation.

If acne and adolescence have become a problem at your house, read on.

Many people feel that acne and adolescence happen because the teen does not keep their face clean enough. This is not necessarily true. Sometimes acne and adolescence happen even when the teen washes his face faithfully. You could try a wash that is made for acne.

Acne and adolescence also is linked to diet. Reports vary on this topic with some believing that if the kids cut out chocolate, fried and fast foods all will be well. Others say that acne and adolescence have nothing to do with the diet.

Acne and adolescence can be minimized at times with a visit to the local drugstore. Chat with your pharmacist and see what she recommends for acne and adolescence.

Acne and adolescence can be improved when you see a dermatologist. A dermatologist may be able to work with the acne and adolescence situation and bring about great improvement.

Acne and adolescence can be made worse by certain medications like birth control pills.
You should also avoid greasy creams and lotions if adolescence and acne are causing problems for your teen.

Make sure that the acne and adolescence problem is really not a reaction to allergies to food, cosmetics or other products.

Acne and adolescence may go together but it can be less of a problem with the correct solutions.

The mind spins from one task to another and half the time, you are trying to remember what it was that you forgot. In fact, you’re not even sure if you actually forgot anything! And the kids are screaming for you all the time and you feel yourself losing grasp of life, of living…of control.

An ordinary day of a mother.

It’s amazing, if you look at the way a mother spins from one chore to another, how they (we) keep sane. I sometimes sit down after the kids have gone to bed and wonder how I survived the day. I wonder if there is a rope that kept me hanging in there to keep me falling into the dreaded pits of insanity. Sometimes, giving up or running away seems like such a wonderful solution! It’s scary.

But there is a way to keep sane. And that is to remind ourselves that we love ourselves and we love our kids!

It sounds so elementary, right? And it sounds as if I am rattling off about nothing, right? Wrong.

Let’s imagine the laundry is spinning in the washing machine and there’s another pile waiting to be loaded. Imagine that you’ve just finished washing up all the plates, cups, forks and spoons after dinner…and now, there’s ANOTHER pile there. Imagine that the floor is sticky because the kids spilt syrup at the dining table but stepped over it and spread the stickiness all over the house. Imagine that you’ve got a report to finish tonight because it’s due tomorrow - and if you don’t hand it up tomorrow, your boss is going to have a fit. And the kids are screaming because Kid 1 just accidentally bumped Kid 2 off the bed and they’re yelling for you to become umpire…AGAIN.

Such a frantic life, we live.

Now, here’s what you do. At this point, you feel like breaking everything or maybe just…break away from this chaos. But hang in there, stop yourself from going over the edge by breathing. Ok, now that you’re breathing again, walk slowly into the kids’ room where they’re fighting. Resist the urge to scream or kick up a fuss. Check to see if anyone’s injured and then talk to them slowly and gently. This takes effort, I tell you but it WILL work.

Then, you will slowly feel the pain and frustration ebb away. The throbbing is less now. Look your children in the eye and feel them. Look at them. And I mean LOOK at them. Look into their eyes and remind yourself that they’re only xx age and they’re acting their age.

And then reach out to hug them.

I know this is easy but hard…but it CAN be done! The whole time we’re caring for our kids and spouse, how many hours or minutes do you think we spend enjoying our kids? In the whirlwind of the day, we forget that they are kids and we love them. Frustration overshadows that love and affection. Only when we make an effort to calm down and reflect on their age and their character and the role that they play in our lives will we truly enjoy them.

It’s extremely important that we enjoy our kids because they are not ours forever. They are their own and we are only borrowing our kids for the time that they need us…and they won’t need us forever. Soon, there will be a void in our lives and in our hearts. So, don’t let frustration and the angst of everyday life stop us from enjoying our kids while they still need us.
