When Does a House Become a Home?
When you buy a property, you buy a house. You may have bought it as an investment to be traded in again – “flip it” if you like – to make profit. You may have bought it for renting; others may rent it from you and make it their home – but for you it is still a house.You buy a home to live in with your family. Before you move in, you visit it a number of times and plan the decor of the rooms, plan how

Was it just a few short years ago that life on the internet began to take on a life of its own?

Was it just a few short years ago that I thought that a 2GB hard drive would be all I’d ever need?

Well, in terms of the internet, it probably seems like a long time, but in actual fact, I purchased my computer in 1997, just 10 years ago.

I thought I had all the bells and whistles, I was pretty proud of my new machine. I logged online and learned how to surf and how to chat and how to do internet marketing.

Flash forward ten years and I am still surfing and still doing internet marketing, but I have encountered a problem, which is beginning to be a major problem for me and many others like me. I HAVE DIAL-UP!

Everyone seems to be going to video and audio streaming, which leaves me sitting like a dork at my computer wondering what is going to happen and when. I get stuttering voices and pictures on hold and I wait 20 minutes for a video to load which then takes about 60 seconds when it finally makes it.

The cards that you can send to your friends have flash cartoons. Try that on dial-up! Again, you wait and wait to see if it is something you want to send to your friend. By the time it loads you could have gone to the store, purchased a real card, attached the postage and mailed it out.

When I first started on the internet, everything was text based and underneath the pictures there was a description, so you could actually surf with the graphics off and turn them on when you wanted to see something.

Killing Them Softly
The world has woken up to ethical issues in corporate governance & accounting practices. Corporate heads that were not guillotined were forced hang their heads in retrospective shame. The heads that fell were the victimizers, and the axe that fell, fell too late, and the punishment received, was way too little compared to the suffering, pain and financial losses that the organizations’ stakeholders suffered.

Consolidation Debt Reduction - Go For Reduction, Go For Debt Consolidation

Add to that the necessity of paying bills for utilities such as power, gas, telephone, cable and Internet. When the bills are mounting, it can be difficult to scrounge up the money to settle them all. And when they cannot be settled immediatel

Getting Started In Home Business
If you're like most people, it's hard to make ends meet with just one income. If you are married, both partners must work, spending countless thousands of dollars on childcare and business clothes. To offset their monetary deficit, many people are looking into getting started in their own home business. Both full-time and part-time home businesses can be operated from the comfort of your own home.Some

Case Study - Me to We - Re-Branding a Non-Profit Group
It is essential that when you start a non-profit group that you fully consider all the implications of the message you send out. A simple catchy slogan can destroy all the good will intent if done incorrectly. Let's look at a case study shall we?The "Me to We Organization" was started to help the Children of the World, its headquarters are in Canada, but like many non-profit organizations it will glad

Not anymore. Voices start stuttering as soon as you start loading a page and there is no shut off box. So, you end up having to make a choice….sit and wait for the page to load to see if it is something you want to really listen to, or close the page. Who knows, perhaps that page had the information you needed to change your life, but it took tooooooo long to load.

I realize that high speed is the way to go, and man I love it when I download at the office or at my boyfriend’s place. 5MB is a BIG file for me to download at home and forget about downloading any of the MP3 files. For anything over the 5MB I send a link to my boyfriend’s email and then when I am at his house I download and put it on my stick.

Remember that 2GB hard drive I had back in 1997? Well now I have a 2GB stick for transferring documents. Wow. Who would have thought it would come to this.

I don't plan to give up yet. I still have hopes that high speed will reach me someday soon....either that or maybe I'll move somewhere that has high speed, but that would mean giving up my 2 acres in the country. Hmmm, a hard choice.

My new computer is loaded up with 300 GB of hard drive, a CD/DVD burner, a floppy drive, a USB port, a good video card, cool blue lights and dual processor. I continue to do internet marketing, am continuously working on my webpages, and I am still waiting for high speed to come to me. However I live in a rural area and the cost of the satellite systems hasn’t come down enough yet for me to choose that route. So until then I will surf the best I can and download at my boyfriend’s place.

E-mail marketing of course is the process of sending promotional and marketing e-mails to members of your opt in e-mail marketing list. One of the most difficult things about e-mail marketing is learning how to write effective e-mails. Your e-mails must be compelling, interesting, and induce the reader of the e-mail to click through to your website. However, your e-mails must also not be so strong that if the reader does not like the e-mail or the Web site which they click through, that they stop opening your future e-mails. So you have to have a balance between e-mails that are compelling and effective, and e-mails that are too strong and induce unsubscribes or they induce people to stop reading your e-mails. So how do you write an effective e-mail? The first thing to remember when writing effective e-mail is that you must write your e-mail ....
