How do you persuade someone to do what you want them to do?
A whole world of marketing exists around us trying to do that every minute of the day. Do you even notice it anymore or, like your prospects, have you subconsciously set up a system of “radar defenses” against the daily bombardment of marketing messages?
Take a minute and count up the advertising methods which fight, for your attention (and money) every day. Just the basic list includes:

Yellow page ads

Newspaper and magazine ads

Postcards, catalogs, and direct mail circulars in your
“snail mail” box

Radio pitches interrupting the flow of your favorite songs

TV ads - about 20 minutes worth per hour now

Hundreds of storefronts, “mega” malls, and strip malls

Highway billboards by the thousands

Circulars hung on your doorknob

Illegal signs on stop signs and telephone poles

Legitimate email messages

Spam email or UCE (unsolicited commercial email)

Just these 11 sources can overwhelm your brain with
marketing messages. Like trapped rats, people develop
defenses against this never-ending onslaught. They throw up
a wall or a “radar defense” that goes into action the minute
they smell a “pitch” or a sales job. Don’t blame them. We
all do it!

So how can you get around this psychological wall against
the constant sales and marketing messages? Well, the answer
does NOT lie in hitting people with more frequent and
obnoxious advertising or sly, sneaky tactics. You might get
them to trust you for a minute, but it will backfire in the
long run.

You must do two things instead:

1. First, you must establish credibility for yourself and
your business as an expert.

2. Second, you must reduce their fears about doing business
with you.

Doing these two things will get you past their defenses and
allow you the opportunity to persuade them to buy your
product.

So how do you accomplish these two “simple” things? What
will win someone’s attention, raise your credibility, and
lower their fear factor all at the same time? The one-word
answer really applies to most everyone.

Trust!

If a seller can get behind your defenses with information
which makes you trust them, then that credibility will carry
over into a sale much of the time.

How can you get this credibility?

Well, take this next fact as online marketing “gospel,” for
many people have proven its effectiveness.

Fact: Publishing and promoting with free articles gives you
one of the most powerful opportunities available to tip the
buyer’s credibility scale in your favor.

How can we prove this works? Quite easily actually. Take a
break from reading this and go check out a newspaper or
magazine for a minute.

Which do you trust more, the ads or the articles? Most
people will choose the articles hands down. Why? Because
the articles don’t try to “sell” you anything. Instead, they
hand out useful information for educational or other
practical purposes.

Most of us grew up in a culture which says we can believe
and “trust” what appears in the standard “news” or
“information” format. In other words, if it appears in
print, then we can believe and trust the author.

So go ahead! Use this lifetime of conditioning to your
advantage in selling your products and services!

Very few things will create an atmosphere of trust and
confidence in people as reading one of your articles on a
subject that greatly interests them. It shows you know your
business. It also demonstrates you will do more than just
try to sell them something.

Publishing articles literally lets you fly under their
advertising “radar defenses.”

So remember these points when deciding whether or not to use
articles to promote your business:

1. Few things create as much trust and confidence in the
minds of potential customers as reading an article you wrote
on a subject which specifically and intensely interests
them.

2. Articles establish credibility quickly because, right or
wrong, we’ve all been trained to trust the “news.”

3. An article, or series of articles, will differentiate you
from the competition, who bombard people with nothing but
sales messages.

4. Providing content-rich, non-sales-oriented articles will
also help build and solidify your relationship with existing
customers so they give you repeat business. Need MORE TRAFFIC to your website or affiliate links? “Turn Words Into Traffic” reveals the secrets for using FREE articles to drive Thousands of NEW visitors to your website or affiliate links… without spending a dime on advertising! Click Here>

Will the Bell System Survive? A Massive Transfer of Wealth from Bell to VoIP Is Underway.

The “Internet Revolution” has brought us e-mail, the World Wide Web and quick, convenient ways to communicate that we’ve come to take for granted. And now it’s reached consumers who are looking for a more economical, more flexible way to talk on the phone. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), also known as Broadband Phone or Internet Phone, now allows consumers to use their ordinary telephone to talk over the Internet at rates 50 to 60 percent below those charged by the Bell System, and with robust features that Bell cannot offer.

The Bell System has been our primary “channel” for connecting with friends, relatives and business associates for the last 100 years. Yet, in July, 2004, Michael Powell, the past Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates the telephone industry, made this dramatic statement: “VoIP will irreversibly alter the world of communications. VoIP is the most significant paradigm shift in the entire history of modern communications since the invention of the telephone.“

Powell was quoted in Forbes Magazine, but why did he speak about VoIP in such striking terms?

For starters, the courts have ruled that VoIP — voice services over the Internet — are information services, not telecommunications services. As such, VoIP is not subject to the many taxes, regulatory fees and tariffs that Federal, State and local governments have piled onto the phone company over the years. Take a look at your latest phone bill and you’ll see that 30 percent or more of the monthly charge comes from these “junk fees.” Moving to VOIP phone service eliminates them, except for a trifling 3 percent Federal Excise Tax.

Second, unlike the phone company, VoIP service providers don’t have to install and maintain central offices, millions of miles of copper wire and fiber optic cable to carry your voice from point to point. The Internet is “already there,” just waiting to send your voice as a digital packet stream alongside other digital traffic. This huge savings on infrastructure costs, plus the elimination of “junk fees” translates into a savings of 50 to 60 percent per month, every month. A typical $65 per month phone bill usually costs about $25 per month with VoIP; saving a residential customer with a single phone line nearly $500 per year. For homes with two lines, savings can approach $700 per year.

Third, VoIP delivers sophisticated new features the phone company cannot. For example, Find Me service allows you to designate up to five phones that will ring in sequence, or simultaneously, to find you when you’re out of the office. Enhanced Voicemail lets you listen to voicemail from any web-connected PC or Mac, and to forward them as email attachments to anyone who might need to hear the voicemail. A web-based Call Manager lets you build a list of contacts you can dial simply by clicking on the person’s name. These conveniences not only increase productivity for busy people; they’re fun and easy to use. And of course all the features you already use - call waiting, caller ID, call return, etc. — are included in the standard VoIP service.

These factors working together have led market research firms, including Frost & Sullivan and the Yankee Group, to predict that consumers using VoIP phone service will increase from around one million now to over 18 million by 2007. Other estimates range as high as 30 million by 2007. Losing 18 to 30 million customers in the next few years is very likely keeping conventional phone providers awake at night.

The impact of the Internet on communication is pervasive. In July, 2005, the US Congress voted overwhelmingly (410 to 20) to reform the Postal Service to save it from a “death spiral” brought on by rising costs and declining business due to the impact of the Internet. The next few years should bring more challenges to the Bell System as millions of people drop their phone service in favor of the lower cost, richer features and convenience of VoIP communication.

How Does VoIP Work?

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) simply means using your broadband Internet connection — either cable or DSL — to speak to anyone in the world over your ordinary home or office telephone. If you’ve never heard of VoIP, you’ll be glad to know that it lets you make unlimited long distance calls using the Internet, instead of your local phone company and the Bell Telephone system circuits.

To use VoIP phone service, all you need is a broadband connection to the Internet and an inexpensive Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) - also known as a “VoIP box” — a small box about the size of a paperback book. You plug the VoIP box into your modem or router, and plug your phone into the VoIP box. Pick up the phone and you’ve got dial tone. It sounds just like the Bell System dial tone and it works much the same. Simply dial the number you want and hear a crystal clear connection to the person at the other end. But after that, there’s a huge difference.

With VoIP you can call on an unlimited basis throughout the USA and Canada with no restrictions, no per-minute charges. It’s no more expensive to call across the country than it is to call across the street. And, you can call internationally at rates as low as 2 cents per minute. In fact, if your international partner is also using VoIP, you’ll have a free call - with no per minute charges.

What’s more, the features you get from the Bell System - either as a bundled package, or that you pay extra for each month — are generally free with VoIP phones. Call Waiting, Caller ID, Call Return, 3-Way Calling and many others are simply part of the VoIP package. VoIP telephone service gives you far more service for far less money each month.

As Michael Powell predicted, VoIP phone service will drive the largest shift in personal communication since the invention of the telephone. And what’s more, as people continue to make the change to VoIP, the billions of dollars now going to the Bell System each will begin flowing to VoIP providers. Therein lies the “transfer of wealth.”

David Brin, in his landmark sci-fi novel, Earth, envisioned the entire planet being interconnected by what he called “The Net.” He began writing the novel in 1987 and set the story in the year 2038. We’re a couple decades ahead of Brin’s best predictions - a rarity in the world of incredible sci-fi imaginings. The Internet is truly becoming the way we all communicate - via the web, by email and now by VoIP phone. Jump on board!

Allan Ramsay is a 25-year veteran of the I.T. industry and principal at http://www.VoIP-USA.net, providing voice over IP phone service, landline, long distance plans, cellular phones, cellular calling plans, broadband access to the Internet and a host of Internet and telecommunication services to residential, SOHO and small business customers nationwide.

An astounding and unexpected number of people are dropping their (POTS) plain old telephone system, for the latest trends in phone service, VoIP. According to Frost & Sullivan there were 100,000 VoIP users at the end of 2003. Just halfway through 2004 the number jumped to more than 500,000.

The draw to such a change is most often cost related. Traditional phone companies charge use fees and by the minute charges, coupled with long distance fees. VoIP companies are charging a flat fee somewhere between $15.00 to $30.00 US per month, for unlimited calls to anywhere in the US and Canada.

VoIP works by digitizing voice signals from your phone and sending them over the Internet via your home or business computer. While people are scrambling to make the switch and begin to count the money they are saving, they may not realize that there is a good possibility that they are cutting the link between their alarm system and the monitoring station. Another link that is lost in most cases is traditional 911 services, as VoIP does not capture data for emergency response.

When your alarm goes off due to an attempted break in, is no time to find out that the monitoring response that you have been faithfully paying for is not available for you. The Alarm Company has no way of knowing that you switched services. You should be sending a test signal monthly, to assure yourself that the system is working properly, no matter who you are connected through. Be advised that if you are using VoIP and the signal goes through, it does not mean that it will always be as clear. The volume of traffic on the Internet can and will vary the quality of the digitized signal it sends.

If you find yourself intrigued by this revolution in phone services and are dependent on alarm system dispatch as part of your security plan, you should consider the pitfalls and options.

* If power fails to the premise it is likely that your VoIP will fail also, unless your PC has a backup power source.

* You may not be able to use 911 services.

* Your signal may go through giving you a false sense of security, as it may not work next time.

* You may have already switched to VoIP and not realize that your alarm is not being monitored.

I myself have elected to utilize VoIP to save money on long distance. I also maintain a standard limited use phone line to take care of my security communications, 911 and phone backup should power fail. The (limited use) phone line, cost me less than $15.00 per month and is offset by the savings on my long distance bill.

Cellular communicators are available that will make your alarm call over any available cellular network. The device will have to be purchased for about $200.00 to $500.00, and an additional fee of approximately $10.00 per month is added to your monitoring bill.

Some alarm companies offer radio signal transmitted monitoring services, which do not depend on phone lines of any sort to transmit your alarm signal. The availability of such services is limited and depends where you live.

Alarm companies of all sizes are working with manufactures and providers of VoIP services to find ways to properly integrate Alarm Systems with these phone communications industry changes. I would expect many changes in the near future as this does not seem to be a passing fad. Be on the lookout for information on these changes, so that you can always make an informed decision.

Online website banners usually come in 2 formats. First of all, you have the conventional advertisement banner, ordinarily used as a means to drive visitors to a website, as clicking on the banner takes you to the promoted site. The second form is found at the very top of a typical site - the website header location. This location usually ushers in an individual to the website with a main title, possibly a secondary strapline, and of course imagery to assist in theming the website. Advertising and header banners serve crucial purposes in both bringing visitors to a website, and making a website keep each person for a longer period of time on the site - by instructing them plainly with what the website is about, and influencing the individual to read the website more, using persuasive graphics and strapline text.

How to make banners in the first place? There are numerous web banner makers which are able to aid you with this task. Also many give you banner hosting as well. Simply key in some words such as make a banner into Google and you’ll discover a myriad of online services.

What information to place in your banner? Well, if you are selling products, it’s a good idea to arrange the payment providers your site uses for taking payment, as it hands to individuals a visible cue that your site is an e-commerce website and also lets the individual know how items can be purchased on your site. Place some graphics of the items you are selling too, as this is yet another visible clue as to what types of products you vend. Finally, the strapline phrase is important too. Make sure the strap line clearly and briefly posits what the site is about in just 4 to 8 words.

As evident as all this may be, an error numerous sites make is to take for granted each visitor will know such information before-hand. One can’t assume that each visitor knows such information, so you must grab every visitant’s hand in those essential first 3 or 4 seconds they visit your website.

As with so many sky-rockets to fame, the Perricone Prescription — better known as the green tea diet — came to worldwide attention on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Her guest was the highly respected Dr. Nicholas Perricone, writer of many books, including the Perricone Prescription that described the medical research behind the astounding fat burning properties of green tea and green tea extract.

The Oprah green tea diet has captured the hopes of dieters worldwide. Dr. Perricone and Oprah unwittingly unleashed another fad diet waiting to happen. The internet has seen a high-velocity rise in green tea weight loss products, similar in intensiveness to the acai berry diet phenomenon. Fad diets should be viewed with circumspection, particularly when high-priced products featuring quick results are being offered. Fad diets can hurt the consumer not only by their high cost and unfeasible promises, but also by being stressful on the body. Rapid weight loss programs and crash diets are in most cases unstainable (the weight loss will eventually come back) and can put the body into one of many nutritional imbalances that can do the dieter far more harm than good.

Oprah’s green tea diet is not a weight loss miracle as the green tea weight loss industry would have you think. Nonetheless, this in no way lessens the fact that green tea can be a beneficial addition to your weight loss diet program. Dr. Perricone’s advice to replace coffee with green tea is a wonderful piece of wellness wisdom. His assertion, however, that a green tea diet alone can effect spectacular weight loss is, unfortunately, a disservice to the millions of dieters who are looking for a magic bullet.

Bottom line: Yes, go get some green tea or green tea extract. Look for low cost bagged tea products or bottled green tea extract ($8 per bottle). Drink or drop your green tea every day. It has relatively low levels of caffeine, so it is safe to drink (diluted) throughout the day. If you are looking to lose weight, don’t fall for the idea that the green tea will do it for you. Real, lasting and safe weight loss only results from dietary changes and regular exercises.

Botulinum medicine (shortened to B.tox) has become established amongst up-to-date Sydney society in fact it is fast becoming an essential part of grooming for a lot of people in Sydney.

Visit and visit this one of a kind resource for Botox Sydney advice.

Even so I never cease to be surprised when I listen to the various half truths which have originated around the treatment. Here are some of the more myths that I hear everyday in my work as a doctor at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Mistake no. 1: B.tox can freeze all my expressions!

Research indicates there are around sixty muscles beneath the skin of your face. These muscles normally work in harmony, however from excessive movement wrinkles may appear. When excessive B.tox has been used the facial expression can become less expressive. Most doctors would use comparatively small quantities to make you appear less tired, yet you will continue to be every bit as animated.

Indeed a carefully calculated quantity of B.tox in the right site means you can achieve a softening of any lines without compromising facial expression.

Mistake no. 2: Botulinum is a toxic substance!
This to a small extent is correct. Its scientific name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In massive doses it can end up in loss of muscle tone or may even make one really sick.

However to help you understand the reality of the situation - an ancient pharmacist’s expression is that ‘everything is poisonous - it all depends on the dose’. All medicinal drugs in a large amount will make you sick. If you drink too great a quantity of water it can result in death.

Mistake no. 3: B.tox will sting!
The hypodermic needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. Many patients have stated that the treatments aren’t worse than a bug bite. It for certain is less painful than something like a vaccination.

Mistake no. 4: B.tox will deaden my face!
False. Botulinum medicine works on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, not sensate nerves. Only the ability to relax your muscles is impacted by B.tox.

Mistake no. 5. Once you begin getting B.tox you need to continue or else the lines become more pronounced!
This is also untrue.

You can expect B.tox to be effective for in the region of 3 months. Any treatments after the initial visit should be effective for a few weeks more. Eventually as muscle strength builds up again the lines will return bit by bit. But they will certainly be no more noticeable than when you began.

Even should you don’t have B.tox shots ever again - any wrinkles should be better than if you had not undergone the procedure. This, of course is chiefly because you have given your skin a ‘wrinkle holiday’ for a few months.
