The Secrets Of Chat Room Marketing Exposed

May 28th, 2008

Chat Room Marketing is the use of online chat rooms to
promote your product or service. Chat rooms are usually
broken into categories. Find the right chat room where your
targeted audience would gather. Create a chat room profile
with your ad, business info, or signature file in it. Announce
to everyone in the chat room something interesting or free
that’s offered on your web site. This will draw visitors to
your web site. Always be aware of chat room rules before
engaging the visitors in a sales pitch that could be considered
SPAM.

Send electronic messages to target people in the chat room
that would be interested in your products or services. Start a
conversation with them. After a few moments indirectly
bring your sales pitch into the conversation. This is a great
way to do one-on-one selling electronically. Do not directly
SPAM them with your messages.

~Marketing With Your Web Site’s Chat Room~

Just having a chat room on your Web site can create an
online community and bring visitors to your Web site. Host
a free online seminar in your chat room about a subject of
your expertise. Use a chat room to meet with current
customers if they have any questions or problems. Regularly
schedule free events in your chat room. Schedule experts to
speak in your chat room.

Host other people’s chat rooms as an expert. Charge for
doing this to earn extra money or just do it for free to gain
publicity. Make sure your spelling and grammar is correct
when chatting, so people understand what you are typing.
Use some chat room emotions and acronyms to help people
understand you’re typing.

Use ” :D ” to show your laughing

Use ” :) ” to show you are smiling

Use ” BTW ” which means “by the way”

Use ” FAQ ” which means “frequently asked questions”

Use ” IMHO ” which means “in my humble opinion”

Use ” LOL ” which means “laughing out loud”

Use ” TU ” which means “thank you”

Marketing your products or services in chat rooms is a
more personal way to gain new customers. Prospects are
actually communicating with you instead of reading your ad.
You may even make a few friends along the way.

Are You the Cause of Your Lower Back Pain?

May 28th, 2008

The most common cause of lower back pain is muscle strain associated with heavy physical work, lifting, bending and twisting. It is usually experiences as sudden, sharp, persistent, or dull pain.

It is always advisable to get a medical check-up if the pain persists for more than a few days following rest. A thorough examination will assess your medical history, posture, the range of spinal movement and possibly a neurological test to determine the state of your reflexes.

Some questions they may not ask in an examination.


Have you ever been asked at a treatment or examination if you know the location of you hips joints? Sounds a bit odd doesn’t it! But in many cases of lower back pain it can be a tremendous help and once you can learn to move from the most appropriate places. The amount of stress on the lower back can be reduced dramatically once you move as nature intended.

Poor posture is recognised as a factor in lower back pain, but why do so many adults suffer from it - some studies estimate 80%! Modern life presents us with many pressures - work, finances and spending long hours sitting at desks or in cars. This sort of lifestyle for most adults leads to an increase in muscle tension resulting in the familiar neck, shoulder and back pain and other general aches and pains. Ultimately it will change your body dynamics and alter the way you move.

Habits you are probably unaware of will influence the way you move and your concept of how you body works. Due to the nature of habit it can be difficult changing them but it is not impossible. A course in re-education can help to correct your body concept and get you moving as nature intended again. Some exercises may help but they will not change your habits associated with standing, sitting and moving - these may well be the cause for your lower back pain. Yoga and tai chi can be very effective re-education methods and there are many recorded cases of how they help with back conditions.

In my view, both from a past back pain sufferer and now as a professional, one of the best methods to change your habits is The Alexander Technique. It is one of the few disciplines that recognises the role and nature of habit in lower back pain and many other general disorders. Until your concepts and habits relating to your movement changes, your condition will stay untouched.

Back pain, the driver and the mechanic


A man takes his car to a garage with a faulty gearbox. The mechanic identifies the fault and replaces a number of components. A few months later the man returns with the same problem, so again the mechanic replaces the suspect parts.

Not long afterwards the same car is towed into the garage after a breakdown. The mechanic assumes there must be a design fault with this model but cannot recall seeing many similar faults. If the design was suspect then everyone would have the same problem, therefore it must be something the driver is doing wrong. He replaces the gearbox and asks the driver if he could accompany him on a drive. The mechanic notices how poorly the man drives the car particularly when changing gear. He suggests to the driver that a few lessons might help to improve his habits. The driver follows this advice and eventually the problems with the gearbox cease.

He did not learn to drive like this. His bad habits developed gradually due to lack of attention to his driving whilst pre-occupied with other matters. He had never been a passenger to observe how other people drive. The mechanic could not identify the root of the problem by just looking at the car - he had to observe the driver and car in action to diagnose the cause.

We know that habits can be harmful to health. The end result of more obvious habits such as smoking and over-eating are easy to see. But what about the habits we do not know we have? Applying excessive effort to everything we do can be just as damaging. Your lower back pain may be due to your driving habits.

Your Internet Business Frustration - Exposed

May 27th, 2008

Are you bombarded with 100 money making opportunities every single day that confuses you ?

And once you have given this internet business thing a try, I bet you might be thinking as to why this ebiz thing is not working for YOU, while it is making millions for others ?

I will tell you a secret that probably no one will tell you.

“YOU are not ALONE” - That’s right. Each and every internet business entrepreneur passes through these stages of ups and downs and finally cracks code of making millions online. They won’t tell you this.

Here are some MYTHS that lead you on a wrong path to making money online…

MYTH 1 - It is really EASY to make money online.

Even though I have told this statement in many of my previous articles, but the fact is that it is easy for those who are really committed to do what it takes to make real money online.

When I got started creating my first website, it was next to impossible for me to write the very first word.

I wasted near about 6 months and $1000 on my first website which ultimately bombed, never made a single dime.

Being successful in your internet business is a slow process. You have to be committed to do the work involved along with a whole lot of patience to see fruitful returns in future.

It is not EASY to create a successful internet business, but it isn’t so difficult too nor is it a rocket science.

The fact is very few people are prepared to do what it takes to succeed online and many quit before even they get started.

MYTH 2 - You can Make Millions Overnight.

You Won’t. The fact is that it is impossible to become wealthy overnight, especially on the net.

Your odds of playing a lottery and making millions overnight would be far better than waiting to make millions overnight on the internet.

MYTH 3 - Once Your Site is Up it Will Make Autopilot Profits Instantly.

No, it won’t. You have to kick your site really really hard to see some decent traffic pouring in after few months of creative efforts.

Just putting up a site on the web is similar to a shop in a desert that even birds don’t pay a visit. So don’t ever dream that once your site is up you will make tons of money from Day 1.

MYTH 4 - I Can Start a Business Online for FREE.

Starting a business on the net may be less expensive than starting a business offline.

But don’t ever think that you can start a wildly profitable internet business for FREE.

Starting your internet business, or any other business, without putting in any money, simply shows that you are not serious about your business.

The fact is you have to put in a decent investment in few automation systems that will run your business and help you to pull in huge autopilot profits in future.

You will also have to market your business in some profitable areas like pay per click search engines, ezine ads, etc. Not testing and investing some money in these low cost advertising sources simply means that you’re prepared to fail.

While it is true that things are not so easy nowadays, but the fact is that internet has the horse power to create millionaires and YOU can be one of them if you stick to it.

Endometriosis And Cancer

May 27th, 2008

Although Endometriosis affects one out of seven women throughout the world, not much is known about the disease. It occurs when tissue that is usually found inside the uterus appears in other parts of the body. The cause of endometriosis is unknown, though researchers have several theories.

Endometriosis is often compared to cancer since both are characterized by cell invasion and unstrained growth. Other similarities between the two diseases include the development of new blood vessels and the decrease in the number of cells undergoing apoptosis. Doctors have debated since 1925 and researched the idea that endometriosis transforms into cancer without reaching a conclusion.

Recent research has found a possible connection between endometriosis and cancer. It has been found that women suffering from endometriosis are more susceptible to some forms of cancer including ovarian, endocrine, brain and breast cancer. Although doctors agree that this risk exists, further research is still needed since no conclusive proof has been found.

The studies done so far suggested that the cancer risk for women suffering from endometriosis is only slightly higher than average. Also women who had a hysterectomy at or before the time endometriosis was diagnosed did not show increased risk of cancer.

The main difference between endometriosis and cancer, of course, is that endometriosis is not deadly, whereas cancer invariably kills unless treated for life. Endometriosis per se can be very painful, and it can be associated with other conditions, such as problems with the pelvis, but it is not cancer. You can get endometriosis treated with pain management, laparoscopic surgery, and/or hormone treatments.

Endometriosis provides detailed information on Chronic Endometriosis, Endometriorsis And Infertility, Endometriosis, Endometriosis And Cancer and more. Endometriosis is affiliated with Male Menopause.

What’s That In My Food!

May 27th, 2008

If you drop a bomb, you kill not only your enemies but your friends as well. This is the effect food additives have on humans.

Man has existed for thousands of years, and only started using additives at the start of the industrial revolution, when women were set free. Most animals eat their food when and where it is grown. Not humans. Man, because of his concentrated urban areas, was forced to ship and process his food.

Food additives are any substances added to food which may have some “useful” purpose, such as protection from deterioration or spoilage.

Additives are also used to improve taste, flavor, texture, and appearance to restore nutritive value and to aide in processing and packaging. There are at least 704 additives used in the processing of our food.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, manufacturers have to prove that the additives are necessary.

Additives kill bacteria of all living organisms in the food, so there is no decay. There is nothing to prevent them from harming body enzymes and organs.

Milk is a good example. Calcium chloride is added to canned and evaporated milk. It is also used to melt snow and causes metal parts to disintegrate. Milk substitutes contain an array of acids and gases.

Choose your bread carefully. It takes five times the chemicals to make whole wheat bread than white bread.

Sugar is pumped so full of acids, then boiled several times, which makes it the deadest and most dangerous product on the market. Meat has about 13 different additives, ranging from dyes to acids to buffers.

Then to find out what’s in your food-read labels and check with the FDA.

Choosing the Right General Contractor

May 25th, 2008

There are many decisions to be made when it comes to improving the look and feel of your home, but few decisions are as critical as the choice of the right general contractor. Choosing the right contractor is the best source way to ensure a smooth, seamless and cost effective addition or improvement to your home. Choosing the wrong general contractor can make your long awaited home addition into your biggest nightmare.

Determine what you need

The first step in finding a great general contractor is to determine just what your needs really are. Be sure to scope out and identify the project before you begin contacting general contractors. If the job is a small one, only one type of professional, like a carpenter, may be required. If a home addition, or extensive remodeling, is needed, it may be necessary to hire not only a contractor but an electrician and plumber as well.

If the job is a complicated one, it is important to hire a general contractor who is able to handle all the additional work, and deal effectively with any subcontractors he or she needs to hire.

Make a list

It is important to make a list of general contractors who operate in your area, and to check that list carefully. It is important to carefully check the background, and the references, of all the general contractors. Ask around for references, and be sure to carefully check any references given to you by the contractors themselves.

Be sure to get an estimate

Entering into a relationship with a general contractor without a good estimate in hand is simply asking for trouble. It is important to get at least three general contractors to bid on the project you have, and to spend time with each bidder in order to find the best one.

Before seeking an estimate, it is important to provide a firm project in order to assure an accurate estimate. Be sure to describe the project clearly and in great detail. It is also important to ask each contractor when they can start, and how long they expect the job to take. Remember that general contractors have their busy seasons, usually in the spring and summer months. If you hit the contractor during a busy time, he or she may not be able to get to your job for some time. Be sure you know the start date, and projected completion date, before agreeing to the project.

Seeking Safety: How To Buy Treasury Bills Commission Free

May 25th, 2008

Did you ever hear of the food pyramid? Well, there is also the investment pyramid. This pyramid applies to all investors–the novice and the experienced. What is says is that the safest investments (less risky) should form the base of your investment pyramid. What separates a conservative investor from a speculator or risk taker is that the base of the pyramid for a conservative investor will be much larger than for the speculator. As you move-up from the base of the pyramid your investments get more risky. The apex of the pyramid would form the most risky of your investments (potentially larger returns).

This article deals with only the base of the pyramid. For those who want their base to be composed of the safest investment on the planet, they should consider purchasing either three or six month Treasury Bills (T-Bills). These should be purchased directly from the U.S. Treasury, not from a stockbroker, banker, or financial planner. These people will charge you a fee or commission while the U.S. Treasury does not charge a single penny for purchasing T-Bills.

The question then becomes how do I purchase T-Bills directly from the U. S. Treasury? You do this by opening-up a Legacy Treasury Direct Account with the U. S. Treasury. Once you have done this, you can purchase T-Bills directly over any touch tone phone. The simple steps involved in opening a Legacy Treasury Direct Account are listed below.

 First call the U. S. Treasury at (800) 722-2678 and order the form for opening a Legacy Treasury Direct Account.

 The information you will need to complete the form

1. The name on the account
2. Your checking account number and the nine digit bank routing number, name of bank, phone number of bank
3. The address of the person on the account
4. The social security number of the person on the account

 T-Bills are bought in multiples of $1,000.00

 LastlyWhen buying T-Bills always enter a non-competitive bid.

Currently, six month T-Bills are yielding about 5% state income tax free. In high tax states like California that is about 5.25% compared to a fully taxable CD. You can get the current yield by looking at the financial pages of the Wall Street Journal or your daily newspaper. T-Bills are not supposed to make you rich. They are bought for complete unadulterated safety.
