Pressure Washing of Paving Equipment and The EPA
Many pressure washing companies will be glad to take on additional work when a company calls them up to come and wash, but the days of cleaning asphalt compactors, steamrollers, paving equipment with diesel fuel are gone forever. If you are caught doing it the old fashioned way it's a $1,000 fines in the United States, fist offense and you

This article was born out of frustration and anger... anger aimed at affiliate program administrators who have very little concern for hard working affiliates.

I have had the rug pulled out from underneath me on several occasions, and frankly I am fed up. If you are considering joining a 2 tier affiliate program and the only payment option the administrator of the program has to offer you is PayPal, BEWARE!

By using PayPal as a processor for a 2 tier affiliate program, the merchant is in violation of PayPal's terms of service and will eventually have to shut down the second tier. This creates a bit of a predicament for affiliates who put quite a bit of effort into recruiting other affiliates.

Advertising isn't something you can simply pull the plug on at will, causing everything to come to a complete standstill. Ads you have placed in the past, some of them paid for out of your own pocket, can go on producing results for months or even years.

This is the part that angers me the most!

By not offering affiliates an alternate payment method, merchants can go on reaping the rewards for quite some time without actually having to compensate their affiliates.

If you happen to own a web site you are also faced with the task and cost of making modifications. Either that, or continue to send free traffic and create affiliate signups for a merchant who is no longer willing to pay you for this service. Each new affiliate who signs up not only becomes a potential money earner for the merchant by making sales, they are also added to the merchant's personal mailing list and therefore becomes a potential customer as well.

Personalization - Individualized Customer Service
Today’s small businesses are finding new ways to interact with their customers. These interactions can be as simple as providing an interesting bit of how-to knowledge or as complex as developing a way of rapidly identifying a returning customer. The first challenge is to personalize the interaction with each customer. Personalization is the

What Do Others Say About Your Meetings?
Most executives truly believe that they know how to lead effective meetings.At least that's what they'll tell you.But if you ask a member of their staff, the response may be nervous laughter. Or a cough. Or maybe a letter like this one."Years ago I worked for a man who LOVED meetings. The more we had and the longer they

This is one sweet deal for the affiliate program administrator... not so good for the affiliate.

Another very unfair practice concerning affiliate programs that is very wide spread on the internet is the placing of affiliate signup links on sales pages. There are actually times when I have seen two links on a sales page, one at the top of the page and one at the bottom.

I have sent countless emails to affiliate program administrators in an attempt to put an end to this practice; a practice which very effectively robs affiliates of their hard earned affiliate revenue. To be fair, most comply, but trying to persuade some is like beating your head against a brick wall.

Creating a separate landing page for affiliates to send traffic to is, in my opinion, a simple solution to the problem.

This is a subject I am very passionate about, and something that many other Internet Marketers and I have been fighting to put an end to for several years.

Granted, things are changing, but very slowly.

With networking, you don't always have to help people in a significant way (like finding them a job or helping them make a sale). In reality, people also appreciate little acts of kindness (like making them feel good about themselves, opening doors and paying for meals). While these details may seem trivial to you, they are important factors on how people perceive you and your networking style. Pay attention to how you interact with others because you want to make a good impression. Over time, these acts of good behavior will be second nature to you (unless they already are).

Tell people the point or focus of your web site. Explain to them what things they can do or which goals they can accomplish while visiting your site.

I'm going to assume that these internet marketing experts have tested and tried out their sales pages, and then come up with the highest possible conversion. And a lot of times I will send traffic to these websites and I will get 1% conversion rate, which is actually fine for a $100 product. However, I can send out my own sales pages and get anywhere from a 2% on up to 10 or 15%, depending on the product and the price point, etc etc. ....
