Safety: Operator Training Program
When I was responsible for workplace safety training at a Westvaco plant, I developed operator training programs that not only included the instructions on how to work safely but also, all the instructions on how to do the job or operate the machine.The resulting workplace safety instructions became a much used document instead of just the paper to look at before a safety audit. Or the one you pull out when someone

Resume Writing and Clear Thinking
All too many people set out to write their resume with the greatest intentions and then they appear to feel perhaps inadequate and they doctor it up a bit. The problem we find and this is relatively an innate characteristic is that once a human embellishes one item, they are twice as more likely to do it again, and so on. Meaning that they indeed end up with an over exaggerated resume within no time.This is indeed pr

Have you come across various terms and acronyms in your affiliate marketing business, but not understood what many of them mean? Well here is a brief glossary of commonly used terms that should help

CPA - CPA stands for "Cost Per Action". This usually refers to lead based affiliate programs. In other words: Instead of having to make a sale before you get paid, you instead only have to generate a specific action. Actions could include getting your visitors to fill in their email address, request a free CD, or fill out a credit card application. Once the action requirements are fulfilled, you are paid... whether the visitor actually buys something or qualifies for something doesn't matter. You're still paid because you generated the desired action.

CPC/EPC - CPC stands for "Cost Per Click", and EPC is "Earnings Per Click". You'll find the CPC version of this term used most when you're paying to advertise something, but it's actually used in affiliate program statistics as well. Why? Because it can help you determine how much to spend if you decide to start advertising a given affiliate program, and it can also help you determine if you make more with the affiliate program that you do with a pay per click affiliate setup such as Google AdSense.

Nice Work! Well Done! Keep It Up!
I like to (quickly) thank those who give me good service, and (gently) critique those who don’t.Here’s an easy and effective way to do it.I designed and then printed 500,000 laminated, full-color, wallet-sized cards that say: ‘GOOD JOB! Nice work! Well done! Keep it up!’ on one side, and ‘CHEER UP! A smile costs you nothing, but brightens up everything!’ on the other.There’s a big, bright yellow sun on

EPM/CPM - EPM is sometimes reffered to as CPM: Earnings per million and Cost per million respectively. The "Million" part of this term is a hold over from the more traditional offline advertising industry. In reality, this term is referring to thousands. If for instance, an affiliate program shows you're earning $3 EPM/CPM, that means you're earning - or paying - $3 for every 1000 views you've had on a given ad.

Many affiliates feel this statistic isn't very useful anymore, because not many affiliate programs pay you for the number of views generated on an advertisement. It can be more useful than you might think though. If you have an affiliate program that shows an EPM of $100, you can do the math to figure out how much more traffic you'll need to generate in order to reach a specific goal you've set.

You can also use this metric for comparing two or more affiliate products against each other. If one pays $10 commission for instance, and another pays $50 commission, most affiliates would want to promote the higher commissioned product. If however, your EPM stats show that the $10 commission product makes $100 EPM, whereas the $50 product only generates $25 EPM, you have concrete evidence that you can make much more money with the lower paying product.

CR or C/R - This acronym stands for "conversion ratio". It tells you how well a given affiliate product or program converts visitors into sales. If you send 100 visitors to an affiliate product, and
