The Cold Turnkey

These days Google is much more than a search engine, and although their search engine is by far their most important product, more and more Google is coming out with by products which are generating a lot of interest. During the course of this article I am going to cover a number of these by products in more detail.

Google Earth

Google Earth is a free to use program that allows users to explore a virtual world with incredible detail. Google Earth streams satellite images over this virtual Earth and allows users to zoom in on any part of the world. All of the major cities are covered in detail and it is possible to zoom right in on a place of interest.

Gmail

Gmail is Google’s answer to hotmail, Yahoo mail or any other web based email program. Rather than being your run of the mill web based email service, Gmail offers a number of unique options such as searching emails instead of sorting them, huge amount of storage space and a top notch Spam filter. If you don’t already have a gmail account, get one.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar is Google’s newest product, and while it may seem to be a strange one, there is no doubt that Google has revolutionised calendars. You can import your Outlook calendar into Google Calendar, Google Calendar has many more features. Among the best feature in my opinion, is the ability to share calendars with friends and family and allow them editing privileges. You can now keep in touch with friends and family from your Gmail account.

Among the other excellent offerings from the Google Plex is the Google Toolbar, Gtalk which works excellently with Gmail and Google Desktop which allows you to search your computer while giving you relevant information such as the weather conditions in your location.

Ronan Menton is the webmaster for a number of travel related websites and has been for some time in Ireland, associated with search engine optimisation in the Irish travel industry. He spends two months a year in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and now sees it as his second home. Among the many sites he is currently working on are the following: hotels in Galway and hotels in Cork.

“You know, I really do love fish!”

My friend Steve came up with this profound comment as we
were about to tuck into the gastronomic offerings before us
in a crowded downtown restaurant. I raised my eyebrows.

Well, on the face of it, Steve sure wasn’t kidding. He lost
no time in matching words with action as he attacked the
luscious fried sole with cream sauce with unbelievable
gusto.

But I know my friend is a philosopher at heart, and I wasn’t
going to let him get away with it so easily.

“Steve,” I said. “You’re doing a great job with
that fish. I
envy your efficiency. But…”

“But what?”

“What do you mean that you LOVE it?”

“I sure do,” Steve assured me. “Could eat it
for breakfast
lunch and supper. I believe I could almost live on it.”

“Yeah,” I retorted. “And for the sake of your
unquenchable
love, the lives of how many fish are sniffed out every day?
Steve, you don’t love FISH. You love YOURSELF.”

And my friend was forced to admit I was right.

Now, let’s switch focus a bit. Let’s talk a little about
Pete, another good friend of mine.

(OK, OK, I’ll come clean. In real life, I don’t have a
friend called Steve nor one called Pete. If I did, I
wouldn’t be gossiping about them like this, would I? I hate
gossip. Fortunately, though, I’ve a reasonably good
imagination, and I’m trying to put across some pretty
important concepts here…

Forgive me? Good…)

Couple who are always squabbling

Pete has been married for ten years or more, and he and his
good wife, Jane are almost always squabbling.

To tell the truth, I’ve never known anything like it. It’s
either he insulting her, or she insulting him. In private or
public, it seems to make little difference; each trying to
find a juicier epithet still to hurl at the other.

And yet…

Ever since I’ve known him, Pete has been protesting that he
loves Jane dearly. And you know something? He does. I should
know. He’s MY friend.

True, at one time, I was skeptical. If Pete said he loved
his wife, I could hardly doubt it, but I thought it was like
Steve and his beloved fish. Now I know better.

Good - so how do I know? Alright, I’ll tell you.

A few years ago, something of a medical nature was
apparently bothering Jane a bit, so off she went to her
doctor for a check-up. She wasn’t expecting anything
particularly dramatic, but what she heard from the physician
that day was a bombshell, to put it very mildly.

“Jane, I don’t like to frighten you, but this is life
threatening. Very , very serious. However, time is still on
our side. The next two months will be critical. You must
follow the treatment program to the letter, and get plenty
of rest. And keep praying…”

Do you think there was any bickering in Steve and Jane’s
household during the following two months? Not on your life!

Blissful feeling of intimacy

Pete’s single-minded concern for his wife’s health and
comfort, if predictable, was complete. And if a pain wracked
Jane did allow an occasional hurtful remark to pass her
lips, he found it pretty easy to ignore it.

Ironically, this was, in some ways, the happiest period of
the marriage. A blissful feeling of intimacy, such as
neither partner had ever dreamed possible, enveloped the
unsuspecting couple. Pete’s obsession with Jane’s welfare
left him with no time for extraneous thoughts, and Jane’s
appreciation and admiration grew stronger day by day.

Two month’s later, they were back at the doctor’s. Can you
imagine the overwhelming relief when he pronounced: “The
danger’s over!”?

Business as usual…

And the next day - business as usual! Petty bickering,
name-calling, all kinds of verbal barbs and arrows. Well, if
that brings them a little contentment in life…everyone to
their own taste!

But seriously, what makes them do it? Can they really be
contented that way? More pointedly, how could a couple that
had reached such great heights slip back overnight?

It all boils down to a critical three-letter word.

We call it the EGO.

Is the Ego really so bad? Not always. If by “ego” we
mean
“self-esteem”, it’s indispensable. Many people say that
we
can’t start to love others until we love ourselves first.
That’s perfectly true - IF we’re talking about the right
kind of self-love.

But if my Ego means my needs, my honor, my sensitivities,
always come first (and probably middle and last), boy,
we’re playing with dynamite!

Sure, Pete loves Jane, and Jane loves Pete. Always did,
always will. If one would disappear from the other’s life,
he or she would know all about it!

So what’s the problem?

Then what’s the problem? Why does it take a medical crisis
to create a little bit of peace and harmony in their home?
What prevents this at other times?

And what about US? What blocks the harmony that we seek in
our homes, the peaceful cooperation we want in our
workplaces?

The Ego that insists that I’m right, that will not yield on
the most trivial issue. The Ego that demands the honor
that’s due to me. The Ego that pursues justice at all costs,
irrespective of everything it knocks down on the way!

And for the sake of that pompous ass of an Ego, we’re
prepared to sacrifice everything!

A very good question, “are water filters important?” In today’s society, life is very fast passed, so much to do and so little time to do it. Between work, family and all the things in between, we sometimes overlook the simple things that can make a big difference in our lives. Most people are health conscious these days, we try to eat right and exercise and drink a lot of water, which is good. But most of the time, people end up buying very expensive bottled water and don’t realize how much they are really spending, a bottle here, a bottle there, it adds up quick! There have been reports that bottled water isn’t even all that good for you, having impurities and even toxins from being stored in plastic. There is an alternative to this highly expensive way of getting our drinking water and that is finding a good water filtering system.

When you take the time to look at what options exist for filtered water, you will see that it isn’t all that complicated to figure out and you will save a lot of money compared to what you spend on bottled water. Some people get scared when thinking of purchasing a water filter system. Maybe the price of the unit seems too high or the thought of having to install the unit and then do the maintenance turns people back to the easy way of just throwing their money away on bottled water. Let us examine this further and see if that way of thinking really makes sense or if purchasing a good water filter system is the way to go. We will ask the questions: How do I know what unit is the best for my situation? What are the costs of owning a filtration unit and how will it save me money? What are the benefits I will receive from using water filtration over tap or bottled water? Are there different types of water filtration? We will look at these questions and see that the difference is great and filtering your water is the way to go.

First, there are many different water filter manufacturers out there and it is important to find an established company that has a good reputation. Since there is such a great push to being healthy and drinking plenty of water, there are many companies getting into the market and copying what good manufacturers have already put out there. A little research will help you to know the difference. Once you have found a good water filter company, it’s just a matter of deciding what you want out of your filtering system. Do you want to filter all the water coming into your house with a whole house unit, or just filter at point of use, such as the kitchen sink using a counter top unit or faucet filter, maybe a shower filter or a combination of filters. Regardless of what you want to filter, a good water filter manufacturer will have what you need and be able to walk you through the process.

The cost of owning a water filter system can vary quiet a bit depending on the type of set up you want. Some people just want filtered water for drinking and cooking, in that case going with a counter top or under sink unit is a good way to go and there are many variations to choose from ranging from around fifty to a couple of hundred dollars. If you are just looking to filter your shower water, there are very good shower filters at very reasonable prices, most around thirty to fifty dollars. A lot of people are looking to filter all the water coming into their house; this is called point of entry. There are many types of units for this purpose and a lot depends on the home you are putting the unit in, such as what type of water comes into the house, well or city water. Also, how big the house is, number of bathrooms and so on. These units can range from as little as a couple of hundred dollars to a few thousand. The money you will save by purchasing a water filter system is great! You will have an endless supply of clean filtered water for only pennies a gallon, the water filter will pay for itself in no time when you add up all the wasted money on bottled water. A whole house unit can save you an untold amount of money by protecting your water pipes and all the appliances that use water by keeping sediment, lime and calcium build up and rust out of the system.

Other benefits of filtered water over tap are many. Of course your water will taste better and be healthier for you by taking out the chlorine, fluoride and other chemicals that are added to city water, but there are even more benefits to talk of. A good shower filter will make your skin and hair softer and smoother, good for people with sensitive skin or allergies. The human body is made up of over 70 percent water and showering in unfiltered water allows the body to absorb harsh chemicals like chlorine and THMs that are harmful and the steam from using hot water causes chlorine to be inhaled if no filter is used. Also, your clothes will be brighter and softer especially if used with a water softener.

There are different kinds of water filtration, the most popular are a system that uses filters or a reverse osmosis unit. A traditional water filter system has the most options of filtration as there are sediment, carbon, fluoride and media packed cartridges. It is important to use a filter that has GAC (Granulated Activated Carbon), KDF-85 and KDF-55. It is easier to develop a system that will best suit your needs. Reverse Osmosis usually will cost more and does have some limitations. It requires more maintenance and is limited to a certain amount of water it can produce per day and may end up wasting more water than it produces. Although, many people say that the water has a better taste and this is because reverse osmosis water filter system also removes dissolved mineral contents which can cause a bitter taste in some water.

A water filter system can greatly affect your life in many positive ways, most importantly by giving you better health, it will also save you lots of money from purchasing bottled water and keeping your pipes and appliances in good working order.

“One Way To Honor and Build Trust in Your Relationship and
Each Other”

There are things in every relationship that are sacred. One of these
things that we think is most sacred is the trust that can be
developed if both people in the relationship honor that thoughts
and feelings, whether they are of a positive nature or negative,
will be shared first with each other.

Here’s an example from our own lives to show you what we mean…

Both of us, in our previous relationships, felt the need to talk to
friends and not always our spouses about what was really on our
minds. We often chose to tell our inner most secrets and frustrations
to our friends and omit this information when we talked with our
spouses.

Although this wasn’t the primary reason both of these relationships
ended in divorce, we think that it was one way that trust was eroded
and not built in those relationships.

When we got together in our relationship, we figured out that if we
hoped to have a relationship built on trust and deep connection that
this type of intimate sharing with others was a pattern of behavior
that had to stop.

If there was conflict, disagreement or challenges that came up, we
agreed that we would talk to each other instead of venting our frustrations
with a friend or co-worker. This was our sacred agreement with each
other.

We just love Bruce Springsteen’s song, “If I should fall behind”
because it says exactly how we have chosen to be in a relationship
with each other. In the song he says, “Let’s make our steps clear
so the other can see.”

To us, this means telling the other person what we are thinking as
soon as we have sorted it out ourselves. We don’t feel like we have
to hide or sugar-coat our truth about a situation or unload on a friend
how we are truly feeling without first telling each other.

This doesn’t mean we never talk to friends and other family members
about our thoughts or what’s happening in our lives. Quite the
contrary.

What we are saying is that we have agreed to tell each other first,
things that are personal and feelings that come up about the other
person.

If you find that you have been complaining to other people about your
partner or someone close to you and you are not telling your partner
how you are feeling, stop.

By talking to others first about your issues instead of the person
involved, you will continue to erode the safety and trust in your relationship.
By talking to others about your issues instead of the person your conflict
is with, you could be playing the role of the victim or martyr.

Believe it or not, you may actually be enjoying the sympathy and
attention from other people that you are getting from complaining
about the situation with your partner.

If you want to build trust and create a close, connected
relationship, we’ve found that this kind of behavior has to stop.

Choosing to let your partner know where you stand and what is
going on inside you is not only a way to build trust but also a way
to deepen your connection as well…

As a blog or site owner, you can make some cash with Google’s AdSense pretty easily. To maximise your potential earnings, here are some tips that may help you:

1. Create Well-designed Sites

People are impatient and will not tolerate poorly designed websites. Make sure that your site’s colour scheme is overly gaudy, glaring, or plain hard-to-read. Use a readable font size, and always make use of bulleted lists, dividers and make your paragraphs short whenever possible.

Never create an overloaded website and always focus your content. Ensure that your navigation is easy to understand and that the user will intuitively know where to click to get to where he wants. A good well-designed website is the first step in attracting more visitors.

2. Place AdSense Ads On Pages With Content

Content in this case means text, because images and other media may not return targeted ads. Only text is used by Google’s targeting technology to determine what kind of ads will be served.

3. Make Them Prominent

Put your ads in a place where your visitors will have a high chance of looking at them. For example, place them in the middle of your content, or above the fold of the page, where they can see your ad before scrolling down.

4. Customise Your Ad Colours

Google allows you to customise the colour of ads, so why don’t you? There are two schools of thought here: You either make the ads look like part of your site, or make them look very outstanding. For variety’s sake, you can even rotate up to 4 different color palettes for a particular ad.

5. Use Appropriate Ad Formats

AdSense has a number of ad formats available for you to choose from, so make use of them to create ads that suit your layout best.

6. Double-check Framed Ads

If your page uses frames, check that you have selected the Framed page checkbox on the Ad Layout page. Otherwise, AdSense cannot gather the proper information about your site and will not be able to serve targeted ads.

In fact, I highly recommend that you place this line in the AdSense code of all your ads anyway:

google_page_url = document.location;

It’s just for the simple reason that while your site may be frames-free, someone might have clicked through to your site while in someone else’s frames, and your ads may not be showing targeted ads anymore.

7. Use channels to track performance

Channels are the best tool to analyse your ad performance. Use them to determine the performance of a page or site. Test your colour schemes, placement and formats with channels to tell which are the performers that you want to keep. Remember to give your channels descriptive names that you will be able to understand.

His goal is to provide practical information based upon his years of experience to help webmasters, website designers, and self-employed people achieve their goals in today’s competitive Internet. At his site, you can learn how to make money online.

Here are a couple of exercises to force yourself to come up with some brand new ideas. These methods can be used to give your business an edge, to overcome creative blocks, or just for fun - to prove to yourself that you can have some great ideas.

Method 1: “It’s X meets Y”

Many movie critics use the “It’s X meets Y” formula to help them quickly and accurately describe what a movie is all about. For example, the film Open Water was described by one critic as “It’s Jaws meets Blair Witch”. Anyone can now guess that the film involves sharks (or other water-dwelling monsters), and is a horror film filmed in a realistic way.

You can also use this formula to create brand new products, which can be easily understood by the potential market.

Choose 2 products from your industry (or choose 2 at random), with different features and audiences. Combine the two and consider the result. This is your brand new product. Do this a few times to create 5 different new products and then evaluate them to see which to go with. For example “It’s Pop Tarts meets AllBran” could give you the idea to make a toastable breakfast health snack, or mini-Poptarts that you pour into a bowl and eat as a cereal.

Funnily enough, this method works really well with new movie-script ideas.

Method 2: “Redesign This”

This method allows a product to be developed very quickly.
Consider an existing everyday item and improve it. Write down the item’s main essential features - no more than the essentials. Then write down all the extra features you would personally like to see in the perfect version of this item. Then sketch out some ideas which have all the features you have though of.

If we consider a Kettle, what essentials features does it need? The ability to heat liquid, to be safe, easy to pour, easy to fill.
If we think of it like this we could design a kettle that can have variable settings for different liquids - one to boil water, one to heat baby’s milk, one to make hot chocolate (though it would have to be easy to clean!). Or we could make a more traditional style kettle, but with an extra wide spout to allow it to be filled without having to remove the lid.

These new ideas appear only when we strip an item down to its absolute essentials and start again from scratch.

Is your business as targeted as it could be, or are you providing unwanted features? Could you bring out some new redesigned products to complement existing ones?

It is very satisfying to improve an old classic.

Using Kate’s first name and Spade, her husbands last name, she created a new line of Kate purses that were very unique and stylishly chic.

Handbags designed by Kate spade, although fairly new to the purse market, seem to have grown in popularity to the point where they are comparable to Gucci handbags.

Many experts say you can’t lose if you put your money into Property. Not true. Hundreds of investors who have lost their savings through property investment tell a different story. Nothing is a foolproof investment - including property.

Learn why some fail in property and prevent it happening to you:

• Reason 1 - They don’t give it the time.
  The complaint is that the person has a job and family and therefore very little time to devote to this investment opportunity. The truth is, if they cut down on wasted time, such as watching television, or surfing the Internet, they would have the time to put into creating financial independence for them and their family in the future.
• Reason 2 - “They don’t know how to start.”
  The excuse is that you don’t have the knowledge to get into this business. The reality is that most people who have investigated property investment would have done some study or talked to successful people. The best way to learn is to read books, or take seminars or join up courses.

  The other thing is to enlist the help of others. Henry Ford once said, “I don’t need to clutter my mind with information when I have experienced men around me who can supply that type of knowledge when I need it.” You don’t have to know everything yourself, but you need to have people you can call on who will help you while getting started.

• Reason 3 - “They don’t have the cash”
  The complaint is that you need money to make more money. The truth is that if you find the right property deal, the money will find you. Lack of funds is never an issue with the experienced investor. Lack of a good deal, however, is. If you can find a good deal and negotiate a good price on a property there will be plenty of people willing to put up the money.
• Reason 4 - “They don’t have good credit”
  The excuse is that you need good credit to buy houses. The reality is that good credit does help, but you don’t need it if you want to make money in real estate. There are other options, such as owner financing or lease options that are creative enough to allow you to buy real estate without credit. You can always use a partner with good credit to get into investment.

  There is also the other opportunity of borrowing money from the non-traditional lending institutions, even though it may cost more in interest. While all this is happening, you can work on fixing up your bad credit so you can use it as an asset in your future dealings.

• Reason 5 - “There is too much competition”
  The complaint is that there are too many people buying into houses, to find a good deal. The truth is that there are far more deals available than people. At any time there are many properties available in the marketplace, waiting for the right investor. The truth is most people who say they are investors sit around waiting for a property to pop up. Don’t be one of these people. Go out and create your own opportunities and make your own deals.
• Reason 6 - “The real estate people are hard to deal with”
  The complaint is that real estate agents don’t like cooperating with property investors. The truth is that if you find the right agent, he/she can be your best asset in your investing business. The agent is after commission. If you are successful they will be involved in the deals you do. This means they will create income for themselves, while helping you. Make sure you have one or two agents you work with and let them know you will be giving them business over and over again, as you increase your property portfolio.
• Reason 7 - “Too many people say it doesn’t work”
  This is true only if you have chosen to believe the lies. It’s easy for you to convince yourself that anything won’t work. Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right.”

  Many people criticize moneymaking ideas because they are too lazy to do something about it. It doesn’t matter what the opportunity is, if you listen to the pessimists and the critics, you will convince yourself it won’t work. It’s a good idea to keep away from these people because they cannot offer anything of value to you if they haven’t done it themselves. Make a point of not taking financial advice from anyone who makes less money than you, or is less successful than you.

• Reason 8 - “They say that a recession could be coming”
  The complaint is that because of the impending economic woes of the world, everything will go down in value in due course. The truth is that if everyone felt this way, nothing would happen. When the economy is down retailers will change their prices to attract customers. If prices are falling, buy below the market price and sell just below the market price. If rental vacancies climb, then offer freebies, such as cable TV or free lawn mowing etc to attract tenants.

  There will always be people who cast doom and gloom on any situation. They are the ones who never achieve anything. Stay clear of them and go with the optimists, because the optimists come up with creative ideas to generate wealth.

• Reason 9 - “They don’t want to take the risk and lose their property.”
  The excuse is that real estate is very risky. The reality is that real estate is one of the safest investments you can get into. With other investments, such as shares or managed funds, you have no control. You are dependent on others and how successfully they run the company or the fund they manage. At least with real estate you have a concrete asset in front of you that you can touch and do with as you please. The more you educate yourself about investment, the less risky the real estate option becomes.

There is risk in everything. The key is to minimize your risk by educating yourself and taking small steps.

Many people dream of owning a successful internet business,
however very few people ever succeed.

Why is that? My answer is simply, many people get into the
internet business, without any planning at all. They just
jump into it and hope that after placing a few free ads here
and there they will eventually start earning that most
coverted six figure monthly or even better yearly income.

For example, let’s say you decided to drive from New York
to Los Angelos for the first time ever, without a road map.

How many times do you think, you will get lost?

How many times do you think, you will become frustuated?

Definetely more times, than if you had a map to guide you
to take the right routes, at exactely the right time.

That is exactely why it is very important, you set a simple
plan to follow inorder for you to achieve the success you
dream of with your own internet business.

Here’s a simple 5 step plan, I set for myself…

1) Build your list

No matter what you sell, you should always build your own
opt in list, right from the get go, this is your most

- Give away something free (report ebook etc)

- Promote an affiliate program through your own page for example my webiste http://AmazingCashStrategies.com

2) Have your own product to sell

With your own product, you can develop your own affiliate
program and be able to recruit your own team of affiliates.

- Create your own product or service

- Or you can buy rights to a very good product.

3) Learn how to get “good quality traffic”.

No traffic = No sales. You need to learn strategies &
techniques to drive t.argeted free traffic to your site.

- I recommend - http://www.GuruTrafficSecrets.com

- 14 top internet marketers show you how to do this.

4) Create a backend system, to sell to your customers

Your customers, already have trust in you. It is much
easier to get them to buy from you again and again.

- Always give them a special discount,

- keep them happy they usually keep buying.

5) Build strong relationships with other Netpreneurs

Especially those that have made it it big “the gurus”, in
your particular “niche”. They can help you succeed.

- Get on their lists, reply to their comments & suggestions & very soon they will start to recognize your email when it pops up in their inboxes.

There it is, you are welcome to adopt my paln for yourself.
