1. Why I'm Thankful
Dear Speed Seduction® Student, http://beta.url-lite.com/h_vay9l It would be safe to say I don't much care for the "thrice damned" Holidays. After all, the notion that we have to set aside a special day to be thankful, or to generous or whatever is pretty damned limiting and pretty damned silly a piece of social programming. However, when in Rome….do like the Romans. Or DO a Roman. Hard. In the "culo". In any case, here is what I am most grateful for, this morning, on Thanksgiving Day. 1. The female body. God, I just love WOMEN. Not just their bodies, mind you butt.. There is just something so amazing about a firm, gorgeous, female ass. Now don't you go writing to me about what a "pig" I am. I do NOT see women as just butts, or boobs, whatever. As I have said for years, I always strive to see women as a whole. 2. My spanky cats, Taz and Tabby Jean. . Now, just what IS a "spanky cat"? A spanky cat is a cat who is ALWAYS being naughty. Always chewing power cords, connecting wires, phone lines. Always climbing the drapes. Always biting my girlfriends. Always pooping the carpet, rocketing around the house at midnight, dancing on the keyboard(and deleting what I've written), always shedding fur everywhere. And always keeping me entertained and educating me every day on what it is like to REALLY have an attitude of "no apologies for what I desire". My cats keep me honest and in perspective. God, I truly love my fur babies. 3. My friends. You know, I have some amazing people in my life. They are all of them odd-ducks; marching to a different beat, seeing life in a unique way. I learn from all of them and they are all incredible people, gems in my crown. I can't tell you how lucky I am. 4. My parents, who are still, despite many, many health challenges, still alive and kicking. Listen: this year was very challenging with my Mom and Dad. I really thought I was going to lose them both, many times, and in fact, there was not a single time I went out of town to teach a Speed Seduction® Seminar in 2005 when one or both of them was NOT in the hospital. But they always both encouraged me to go do my job. In fact, this past September, my mother was so ill, we had her in a hospice program to help her pass from this world. When I left for England to teach, I did not know if she would still be alive when I returned home or able to recognize me. But when I asked her should I go, she said, "Go..and you better do a good job. Don't make excuses". Thank God she bounced back and is with us to celebrate Thanksgiving today, as is my Dad. 5. This job. There is no greater satisfaction to me than knowing that I am changing lives profoundly for the better, knowing that the pain I went through wasn't for nothing, but that it was fuel for the fire that burns here. 6. My students. I can't tell you how much I learn from you guys, as I teach, I learn. 7.And finally, I'm so very grateful to all the many, many girls who rejected me over and over and over again so many years ago. Ladies, were it not for you, none of this would be here. I would probably be 20 years into being married, 3 kids, and working as a lawyer somewhere, being absolutely miserable. And none of this would ever have come about. Shudder. Now, how about you? Is this holiday screwed-up or is life pretty great for you? Well, if you are experiencing lots of "challenges" as some would put it, get excited. Because it is really from my challenges that I have learned and grown the most. There truly is a gift in there my friend. But it takes compassion for yourself, first and foremost, to find it. And if you can't manage that, just try to remember what the Chinese say: "If you can't be grateful for what you have, be grateful for what you've managed to avoid!" Piece and peace during the thrice-damned Holiday Season, RJ P.S. Don't you want to be thankful for lots of success, choice and power with the women you really want…without begging or bullying? Just go here: http://beta.url-lite.com/h_vay9l P.P.S. I forgot to mention that I am very thankful to and for all of my siblings, and very thankful especially for my sister Marion's sons, my incredible nephews, Ari, Gideon, Gabe(the girlfriend stealer) and David Eitan. These beautiful, incredible young men are more like my brothers than nephews. And watch out for Gideon and Gabe-these two young p*mps in training are already studying their Speed Seduction Courses and may one day take over the franchise! They are especially fond my of Gold Walk Up DVD: http://beta.url-lite.com/h_vay9l P.P.P.S. Don't get me wrong: I love all of my nieces and nephews. It's just these kids(and their Mom) have a special place in my heart. It's a great thing to be part of their "manicomio". (That's "madhouse" for those of you who do not speak Espaniol!) http://sweetpickuplinesinfo.com/

3. A tip to Increase Ranking and drive more leads to your website

If you are to drive more leads into your small business, it is worth cataloguing

the basic principles to be enforced to increase website traffic and search engine rankings.

 

  • Create a site with valuable content, products or services. Give your potential lead something of value for free.
  •  
  • Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25 words in your page content and spread them evenly throughout the document.
  •  
  • Research and use the right keywords/phrases to attract your target customers or leads.
  • Use your keywords in the right fields and references within your web page. Like Title, META tags, Headers, etc.
  • Have a form to capture the email of your leads so you can keep in touch with your new prospect = your new leads.
  •  
  • Keep your site design simple so that your customers can navigate easily between web pages, find what they want and buy products and services.
  •  
  • Submit your web pages i.e. every web page and not just the home page, to the most popular search engines and directory services. You can submit your url for free at leads o matic. But it is wise to submit to Google manually it does not take long.
  • Once you start to generate leads build a relationship with them build trust by giving them good information.
  •  
  • Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and accordingly modify your web pages so your search engine ranking remains high. Use online tools and utilities to keep track of how your small business website is doing.
  •  
  • Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content, keywords, etc.
  • Use reports and logs from your web hosting company to see where your traffic is coming from.
  • Analyze your visitor location and their incoming sources whether search engines or links from other sites and the keywords they used to find you.
  • Make your customer visit easy and give them plenty of ways to remember you in the form of newsletters, free reports, reduction coupons etc you work hard to get these leads so be sure to demonstrate your industry and product or service expertise by writing and submitting articles for your website or for article banks so you are perceived as an expert in your field.
  •  
  • When selling products online, use simple payment and shipment methods to make your customer’s experience fast and easy.
  • When not sure, hire professionals. Though it may seem costly, but it is a lot less expensive than spending your money on a small business website which no one visits.
  • Don’t look at your website as a static brochure. Treat it as a dynamic, ever-changing sales tool and location, just like your real store.
  • If you need live training to help you develop your on line marketing skills you can get free training from Veretekk and tools that can help you to build your link popularity 


4. Leads and the small business

If you been on the internet for any length of time now you most have notice that are untold numbers off business offers

 The question is which small Business to choose which one will send cash to your account rather than take cash from your account.

Not only that once you decide to start a Business you will need leads for your Business

And again there are so many possibilities how do you know which one to use with out losing your money and wasting your time?

 
There is no easy answer to these question one suggestion that I have once you find a business that appeals to you go to Google write the name of the business in the search box and see what comes up.

 
You are likely to find people who have try that business out.

See what the are saying about it do a who is check on the owner of the Business to find out about the person   as far as the leads company are concern you can do a similar check to find out more there are a lot of good Business out there you need to find one that suits your personality and of course the Business most be one that as a real product are service no pansy schemes.

Remember any business that you run will need some time from you at the start at least  time in this sense = work you will need to work if you know you are not going to work for get it

You get nothing for nothing every thing as to be paid for example if you go to my free

Leads sit where you get up to 2 thousand leads a day you pay by giving me your email address your information is not sold but I am likely to give you a call on the phone and send you my email. Online quit often you pay with your email information

 
Why is this because the money is in the list that is why every business will give you something for free it is not quit free you are just paying a little differently and that is far once you understand that is what you are doing you need leads in your business and giving something of value is one way to get those leads.

 
As I said earlier you get nothing for nothing and yet it is perfectly ok to use the word free

Free is such a powerful word. you just need to know what it is you are paying if you give your e-mail are you giving it to a company who will then sell it to many other marketers are is it exclusive to the person that offers you the free stuff ?

 
Some company and small Business will tell you if they sell your email are not

Get 2 thousand free leads a day for free.

 
Where do these leads come from they come from people who place a ad on one of ffa website

You are then able to send them one e-mail asking them to confirm there email address

 
If they do you have a confirm leads added to your list the people that use these sites know what they are doing what they don’t expect is to get thousand of unwanted emails coming at them that is why you have to get a confirmation.

5. Getting new leads takes up a lot of time.

To develop your Business you  require a constant flow of "leads", or potential customers, you can use lead vendors that is always a bit of a gamble because you never know how high

The quality of the leads is it; you might find your self getting spam complaint even after paying out your money for the leads.


One of the best ways to know what quality leads your dealing with is to produce your own.

You might think this is a difficult task, but if you start with ads using leads o matic this is a quick way to start getting leads to your Business! Like any mass marketing, it begins with excitement and eye-catching appeal why do I use the word mass marketing because with leads o matic you are blasting your ad to 2 billion website now that is a lot of website.

The excitement can die if you do not write your ad correctly you need to be key word pacific

In order to get the search engines to pick up your ad and push your web site ranking up that is the way you will be found think of this submitter more as  a SEO tool use it in that way and reap the benefit.

The leads o matic system gives you the possibility to blast your newly written ad to the major

Search engine and also the possibility to check if your key word written ad is rang with the search engines and this function is free so you could use leads omatic in this way but you would be missing out on the great benefit of seeing your website rise rapidly to the top of the search engines

6. Once you get your leads what then?

Luckily veretekk as plan for that as well you see you can keep in touch with your leads using E-mail that is one way and now a days it is not quite as effective as it use to be

Because of the various spam protection soft ware your E-mail does not always get through even when it is a legitimate E-mail  the spam soft ware cant always tell the difference between spam and not spam.

You can keep in touch with your leads using conference rooms from veretekk they are a good way to teach and training your prospect and show your potential leads your business.

 If you have no leads you can even get free leads from veretekk 200 a day now where else can you get a deal like that yes you do have to fill out a form with your email address but

Your information is only given to the system operator and is not resold you can also opt out of the list any time you want to.

 

I have paid $20 a month for leads and those leads were not as good as the free leads from veretekk. Why do I say that? When you get leads from any source it is good  to get the E-mail address confirm this way you are protected from spam.

 

Because some leads company harvest leads from the internet and sell them knowing this I highly recommend that you get your leads confirm before you start to send out any kind of emails.

 But as I said at the start of this article it is good to have some form of VOIP system

And veretekk as just that to help any Business to get the leads they want.

7. veretekk Lead with leads

There are a lot of videos and books about how to build your list
And drive more leads into your business.

 Some of these videos and books are really good stuff but what happen to a lot of these teaching material they end  up catering cyber dust on your computer.

 And if you read them most of the time most of the good advice is never put into action even with the best intention.

 With Veretekk you have live training to help you but just as important you have 20 + traffic portals you can start giving away and build your list getting real leads into your business these traffic portals are things that people want they are design to attract certain kind of people with different interest so you can drive targeted leads to your small business.

 No where else will you find "real" lead-ing edge marketing technology like you will receive from Inetekk's Veretekk service.

Traffic Portal marketing is one, such innovation. While the rest of the industry is still trying to figure out how to effectively build legitimate, massive email lists, Inetekk's established email verification system allows the company to pursue loftier markets.

If you're looking for the future in online lead generation, it is through Traffic Portals. In recent years there have been numerous methods for generating business prospects online - including things like FFA pages and bulk emailing. These techniques have proven quite effective for generating large numbers of leads... but times are changing. People have become desensitized to the massive amount of bulk email and SPAM that finds it's way to their mailbox each day. After all, who cares if you have a gazillion addresses if none of the recipients will ever read anything you send to them!

So how are Traffic Portals different?

Simple - because at the heart of it, Traffic Portals allow you to offer something of real value to a prospect. This then allows for an increased level of communication between you and that prospect - setting you further and further apart from the masses of bulk email they receive. Your ability to offer more and more of these valuable services to the prospect continues to widen the gap so that eventually you develop a very strong sphere of influence.

Inetekk has developed a large flotilla of unique, valuable web based services on a large array of subjects and domains. Just as incredible, this large and growing portfolio of Traffic Portals, is easily managed with Inetekk's intuitive management system. Each Traffic Portal is equipped with it's own set of automated advertising and marketing tools too. It is all push button easy and it just gets better. Each Traffic Portal has been designed to have it's own custom type of viral marketing flare.

But, it is the viral nature and potential of Traffic Portals that will allow you to truely explode your business. Veretekk's Traffic Portals are designed so that they are not only valuable to your prospect in a direct way... they compel the prospect to use the service in such a way that they are effectively promoting your Traffic Portals for you! Inetekk coined this online marketing phenomenon as Viral Marketing years ago. Imagine 1,000s of people attracted to you through these Traffic Portals... not only for the direct value potential it represents... but also for the value they perceive in actually promoting your services to other people. This allows you to turn 1,000s of prospects into promoters for you!

11. Search Engines Work To send leads to your small business opportunity.

 

Search Engines are one of the best ways to get leads to your web sit.

But what is a Search Engines?

 

They are special sites on the Web that are designed to help people find information stored on other sites. There are differences in the ways various Search Engines work, but they all perform three basic tasks:

 

ü      They search the Internet - or select pieces of the Internet - based on important words,

 

ü      They keep an index of the words they find, and where they find them, and

 

ü      They allow users to look for words or combinations of words found in that index.

 

Early Search Engines held an index of a few hundred thousand pages and documents, and received maybe one or two thousand inquiries each day. Today, a top Search Engine will index hundreds of millions of pages, and respond to tens of millions of queries per day that is a lot of leads for your small business opportunity.

 

(It is true that you won’t get all those leads but if you work your key words correctly then you will get your faire share.)

 

Before a Search Engine can tell you where a file or document is, it must be found. To find information on the hundreds of millions of Web pages that exist, a Search Engine employs special software robots, called spiders, to build lists of the words found on Web sites.

 

When a spider is building its lists, the process is called web crawling.

 

In order to build and maintain a useful list of words, a Search Engine's spiders have to look at a lot of pages. How does any spider start its travels over the Web? The usual starting points are lists of heavily used servers and very popular pages. The spider will begin with a popular site, indexing the words on its pages and following every link found within the site. In this way, the spidering system quickly begins to travel, spreading out across the most widely used portions of the Web.

 

Once the spiders have completed the task of finding information on Web pages, the Search Engine must store the information in a way that makes it useful. There are two key components involved in making the gathered data accessible to users:

12. Protecting leads In Your Small Business

By Protecting Search Engine Rankings

 

Your website's ranking on Search Engines is a vital element of your overall marketing campaign to drive leads to your small Business, and there are ways to improve your link popularity through legitimate methods. Unfortunately, the Internet is populated by bands of dishonest webmasters seeking to improve their link popularity by faking out Search Engines.

 

The good news is that Search Engines have figured this out, and are now on guard for "spam" pages and sites that have increased their rankings by artificial methods to get leads to their small Business. When a Search Engines tracks down such a site, that site is demoted in ranking or completely removed from the Search Engine's index.

 

The bad news is that some high quality, completely above-board small Business sites are being mistaken for these web page criminals. Your page may be in danger of being caught up in the "spam" net and tossed from a Search Engine's index destroying you’re the possibility to drive leads to your site, even though you have done nothing to deserve such harsh treatment.

 

But there are things you can do - and things you should be sure NOT to do - which will prevent this kind of misperception and damage to your small Business.

 

Link popularity is mostly based on the quality of sites you are linked to. Google pioneered this criterion for assigning website ranking, and virtually all Search Engines on the Internet now use it.

 

There are legitimate ways to go about increasing your link popularity to get more leads to your small Business, but at the same time, you must be scrupulously careful about which sites you choose to link to. Google frequently imposes penalties on sites that have linked to other sites solely for the purpose of artificially boosting their link popularity.

 

They have actually labeled these links "bad neighborhoods."

 

You can raise a toast to the fact that you cannot be penalized when a bad neighborhood links to your site; penalty happens only when you are the one sending out the link to a bad neighborhood. But you must check, and double-check, all the links that are active on your links page to make sure you haven't linked to a bad neighborhood.

 

To make sure you do not damage your small Business and the  sure way to drive leads to your small Business.

 

The first thing to check out is whether or not the pages you have linked to have been penalized. The most direct way to do this is to download the Google toolbar at http://toolbar.google.com.

 

You will then see that most pages are given a "Page rank" which is represented by a sliding green scale on the Google toolbar.



13. Your Link Popularity mean leads

 

Search Engines are the gateway to the Internet; they are the first tool that potential Leads use 

to find the products and services they need. 

This is why link popularity is so imperative

If the Leads do not find your website, you have no possibilities of making any sales.

 

You're probably wondering what the blazes are popular about a link! 

Well, in a word - plenty! Link popularity refers to the ranking assigned to your website by the Search Engines, 

and it determines the ranking your page gets when keywords are entered into a Search Engine. So, you're leads find you.

You're probably wondering, how do I make my link popular?

 

Search Engines are discretionary, 

giving status and ranking to sites that have links to their pages from related,

quality sites. It's a simple formula, but a very important one. 

Google created the system, and now virtually all the most popular 

Search Engines employ it to rank your web pages in their indexes.

 

The more commonly used your keyword is, 

the harder it will be to achieve link popularity, 

but without achieving this step, it is almost certain your site will never rank highly on 

any Search Engine. But don't be discouraged; there are tried and true ways of 

achieving link popularity using the most competitive keywords to drive leads to your site.

 

So let's get to what you need to do to achieve supreme link popularity and improve

your rankings to stellar status on all the popular Search Engines.

 

The simplest way to start is to use Leads o Matic this system blast your ad to 

2 billion website you might be asking what as that to do with link popularity?

 

It as a lot to do with it,when you send your ad out write it key word specific  to be sure that the search engine pick it up.

 

In your title be sure to use your key word and in your description 

of your web site and of course place your link back to your website in the ad...

 

Think about this your ad is going to 2 billion website now they may not be all 

appropriate to your business but even if only half of them are quality links that is a lot of link in just one press off a button.

 

A other way to get your foot in the door, is to get a listing in a popular 

directory, such as Open Directory Project and Yahoo. 

If your site is business-related, you will want to be listed on Yahoo, 

and despite the fact that it will cost you around $300 a year,

it will be money well spent. If your site is non-commercial, 

the listing will be free, but it will take time and follow-up to actually get it listed. 

Open Directory is gives you a free listing whether you are business-related or non-commercial, 

but be prepared to make a lot of follow-up inquiries before you see your site listed.

 

You can also use Veretekk to do your link campaign.

The veretekk marketing system as all the tools you will need to do an effective linking campaign.



14. Leads O Matic As One Way To Build Link popularity

Leads O Matic As One Way To Build Link popularity

 

Use Leads o matic as a tool to drive leas to your website with link popularity.

this will enable you to clime to a top position in the search engine.

Search Engines are the vehicles that drive potential customers to your websites

But in order for leads to reach their destination - your website - you 
need to provide them with specific and effective signs that will direct them right to your site. 
You do this by creating carefully chosen keywords.

 

Think of the right keywords as the “Open Sesame!” of the Internet. 
Find the exactly right words or phrases, and presto
Hoards of traffic = leads will be pulling up to your front door. 
But if your keywords are too general or too over-used, 

the possibility of visitors leads actually making it all the way to your site - 

or of seeing any real profits from the visitors that do arrive - decreases dramatically.

 

Your keywords serve as the foundation of your marketing strategy. 

If they are not chosen with great precision, no matter how aggressive your marketing campaign may be,

the right people may never get the chance to find out about it. And you want leads that have an interest for what you are offering

So your first step in plotting your strategy is to gather and evaluate keywords and phrases.

 

You probably think you already know EXACTLY the right words for your search phrases. 

Unfortunately, if you haven't followed certain specific steps, you are probably WRONG.

 

It's hard to be objective when you are right in the center of your business network, 
which is the reason that you may not be able to choose the most efficient keywords 
from the inside. You need to be able to think like your customers your potential lead. 
And since you are a business owner and not the consumer, your best bet is to go directly to the source.

 

Instead of plunging in and scribbling down a list of potential search words and phrases yourself; 
ask for words from as many potential customers as you can. 
You will most likely find out that your understanding of your 
business and your customers' understanding is significantly different.

 

The consumer is an invaluable resource they will help to find the right words to get the leads you want.

You will find the words you accumulate from them are words and phrases you 
probably never would have considered from deep inside the trenches of your business.

Push Button Automation


Traffic Portals are the Heart of your system:


The Traffic Portal's main objective is to produce highly qualified entrepreneurial prospects that arrive in an exclusive relationship to you the Veretekk subscriber. By offering products and services of real value to prospects you are able to passively initiate positive relationships with other people, and in so doing broaden your personal sphere of influence. This allows you to build trust and credibility with your prospects rather than forcing your sales pitch on them from the start.

This all important one on one relationship marketing paradigm is what you have before you today. This new generation of Portals exploits the very essence of viral marketing making each portal extremely attractive to the Internet entrepreneur by rewarding them for aggressively distributing your Portals to the masses.

Every portal is designed to benefit unique vertical markets. By building a large portfolio of diverse services and sites, your sphere of influence grows exponentially within the expanding market of the Internet.

One does not have to be an academic professional nor have deep philosophical beliefs to recognize the benefit that these Portals represent. By re-establishing credibility as the way business is conducted, character, once again becomes the central theme in the orchestration of commerce.

There are 2 types of Traffic Portals within the Veretekk system:

We know that your success is also ours. Below we take a look at 2 alternative systems one of those system is veretekk

You can learn more simply by reading on

This is the first in a series taking a look at different ways to generate leads
paying or doing it yourself  I Look at two ways one as a free silver system and a Gold system that as a monthly cost
the other as a monthly cost.

Generating or purchasing quality leads is the question that many ask them selves or simpley
paying an online bulk mailer to send out your info material for you. I desided to test out  2 systems

paying one online company $24.99 a month to post to there list of 2.5 million opt-in leads.

The company that offers this service is called integrant. They have a support team
Which are easily reach online there is always some one to answer your questions.

When one log in to their back office you are able to do what is called a regular mail out 
to their list and at the start you get access to a credit mailer 
with 50 leads that is a one time mail out you then have to join
the credit mailing service to mail to more leads
you are able to track through their system how many of your mail are getting through.

They have afew more offers such as blog blaster.
Blog blaster service can only be used if you join them extra
Some are for free others you have to pay.

The result from their services is not very impressive mailing to 2.5 million opt-in leads.
And only getting 6 hits are less the most that I have personally experience is 16.
Hit with this kind of result I have to wonder where all these email goes to.

Is there any actual leads out there are is this just sending leads into cyberspace?

 
The next system that I used to get leads is from Veretekk Free leads 60 leads a month
At no cost People can down load their leads every day.
If you join the veretekk system which cost
$41.95 a month for a Gold Veretekk system you can get a silvers system for free.

The free leads that you get are not yet double opt in leads 
they need to be verified you are able to do that using the veretekk system 
are if you are with any other marketing system that allows you to verify emails. 

Veretekk as an excellent verification system that take away any risk of being accused of spam
once your leads are confirmed you can post your info to them once a week in the Veretekk back office.

If you have a Veretekk system silver or Gold 
it enable you to get the information from every one that signup  
for the free leads portal those people become your leads.

they sign up through a double opt in system giving you their  email country and telephone.
You also have your own auto responder and can send out a email series and send them in either HTML or text. 

If you encounter any problems with signing up for Veretekk 
or while configuring and using your portal, there is plenty of online free training available.  
You will also have the complete contact information for your Veretekk sponsor

 
 I've never had any problems with my free ffas Portal, or any of the other Veretekk services, 
 Although I am in contact with my sponsor from time to time through Skype  

I am also in contact with other people from Veretekk Because in veretekk you have a great chance 
to develop good business relationships and  teams that help each other in the process of getting leads

Free training is available to help you get the most out of your veretekk system.
You have also Got the ability to track your emails are to track your articles and websites.
 

In my experience with tracking emails  I get as much as a twenty percent response in my mailing.

Although I am not mailing to millions the results are much better with Veretekk
Than with
integrant the free ffas are just one aspect of the veretekk system which empower you to generate leads

One of the main difference with using veretekk is you start 
to generate your own leads they are unique to you and 
you are able to make contact with them when ever you Want  

You are only able to do one mass mailing once a week 
but you have your
auto responder which can send mails out as much as you want to.

29. leads lead genaratung with the masters
Leads generating leads with the masters when I first hared

I could become a member of the team for lead somatic master distributors

I did not just jump at it because I new it would take a lot of work and time to learn the

Skills required. But then after some consideration 

I said to myself this is really a great opportunity let me give it my best let me take part

Because where else would I get such a chance most internet Gurus are charging an arm and a leg to teach and they were often not as good as these guy


Learning to be a leads|lead  master.
At the start of our training we were given certain basic task 
within in a set time limited to accomplish every one got through the first hurdle.

Then came the second week  we were given new task I got a bite worried as
I had plane my holiday for some weeks before I took on the commitment
to be come a lead|leads master would I be mercilessly thrown out?

No I was able continue after my week holiday and am still in the team.
You are asking  which  task were you given ?

I will tell you one we
have to write an article for the ad submit forum every day at least one but not only that
for a blog that we all submit to as a team. It was going well when our blog simply disappeared.

We suspected that the competitions got worried. And started to try and sabotage our efforts.

And that is just the start of our training take a look at the article I wrote a little earlier about
the training to be a master leads |lead generator below.

Tom Pendergrass and Butch Hamilton are in the process of training 

a number of Veretekk subscribers to become Master Distributors for leadsomatic.

The training is now in it third week. A number of the members of left the training
For various reasons, the work load is heavy for any one that is doing a full time job then
Get home and have to put in at least 2 hours to get the task that are been set for them don

You can understand when a member of the group say’s no it is too much this time round.
The good thing with that is no one is seen as failing simply that at this time 
they are not able to carry out the work load that is required to become a master distributor.

“We all new from the start that this was no easy road perhaps
We did not know just how much of a challenge it would be.
And how much of our time it would take to learn and apply the skills we are being thought.”

 Said one of the Master Distributors trainees

But as the training go on we see that only those who really want to learn the 
skills needed to become a master distributor will go the long Hall.

When a fellow trainee decide against continuing it is a bit sad but we know that 
they are still able to continue their training at as lower rate  at veretekk as 
Veretekk offers training around the clock for free to all its members.

It is true that it is not the same as training with Tom and Butch these guys know so much
About CEO that if they were to charge for the training it would cost thousands of dollars and the work would be no less.

Even in this short period of time the people who started the training 
have learnt a lot and can much better promote a web site and get it to the top of the search engine.

This is in fact a great adventure in the art of internet marketing and working with a team to achieve a common goal.

How before I go any further let me tell you a bit about leads omatic what it is and what it is about.

Leadsomatic is one of the portals from Veretekk and the function of leadsomatic
is to help the average Joe /Jane to produce high quality leads for their Business.

 
The leadsomatic system send out 2 Billion ad across the internet in an instant, 
plus you are able to submit your website to many of the top search engine for free 
with the click of a button and start generating leads for your business.

Leadsomtaic has also an affiliate program the enable the people that subscribe to leadsomatic service, 
free are paid to earn a commission from leadsomtic while getting leads for their business.

Paying members pay $10 monthly to be able to blast their ads across the net.
Many member of leadsomatic often find that the system pays for it self with very little promotion 
because leadsomatic is a service that is wanted by many home base businesses.

33. Don't have any MONEY???
Don't have any MONEY???
By Brett Rademacher

some people say they want to make money online
but they just don't have the money.
Think abaut that for a while.

On a fairly regular basis, I get emails or phone calls
from people who say they want to have a home based
business or be successful in network marketing.

BUT they don't have any money.

Most times these people just quit.

Or they go from one deal to the next, looking for the
pie in the sky opportunity that will NEVER appear.

They use the EXCUSE that they don't have ANY money as
the reason why they can't do network marketing or home
based business and have success.

When I hear people say that they can't do network
marketing because they don't have any money, the first
thing that comes to mind is.

"You don't REALLY want to do this."

Because IF you REALLY wanted to do this, you would FIND
a way.

"Brett, how can you say that?", you ask..

Say I challenged you by saying, "If you come up with
$500 dollars by next Monday, I will give you $100,000."

What do you think the odds are you would have $500 by
next Monday?

100%?

You see it's NOT about whether you have money, it's
about whether or not you are motivated ENOUGH to
TAKE ACTION.

Let me give you an example.

I live in Alaska.

Let's say I wake up in the middle of the night and I
want some ice cream.

But it is the middle of winter. It's 10 degrees outside
and there is snow all over my car. If I really want ice
cream I am going freeze my tail off, shovel off the
snow and drive to the store in a car that does not have
time to warm up.

But if I don't REALLY want ice cream bad enough to go
through all the effort and discomfort, I am just going
to roll over and go back to sleep.

I didn't really want ice cream. I was just WISHING for
ice cream.

And there is a BIG difference between WANTING something
and WISHING something.

MOST people are just WISHING for money, a better life,
and nicer things. But they do not want to go through
the EFFORT and DISCOMFORT of acquiring them.

They have bought into the lie that success is easy or
happens like winning the lottery.

And all they do is look for reasons WHY they can't do
something.

The problem with that approach is it becomes a way of
life. And the only way you are going to change things
is if ONE day you wake up and say.

ENOUGH!

NO MORE!

THAT'S IT!

I am going to do SOMETHING to change my life NOW.

And I am going to START TODAY.

And I am going to do WHATEVER I need to do, to
accomplish MY DREAMS. Because no one else is going to
do it for me.

There are ALWAYS going to be EXTERNAL obstacles and
forces that tell you, that you can't do something.

But YOU have to KNOW what it is DEEP down inside that
YOU really want.

Because without that you do NOT have FUEL to keep the
FIRE burning HOT enough and LONG enough, to make the
journey from FAILURE to SUCCESS.

So if you are saying, "I don't have any money."

Then my response to you is.

"That is EXACTLY why you should be doing network
marketing or have a home based business.You need the
money MORE THAN I DO. And therefore you MUST find a way
to do this business."

Think about this.

37. Lifeworks make Money Continuously with no Extra Effort

If someone buy your  Information Product more than once it is prabably an acident,

Because no one buy the same thing twice.

the question then is,

How would it be possible for YOU to Make MORE from the same customer?

While including affiliate links in your Information Product
can boost your chances of making additional money online
from the same customer, but how far can you really get financial-wise?

And how can YOU make money continuously – every month –
from the same customer without having to create another product to appeal to him?

Here are some great ways so consider the following!

Membership Site

---------------
You can start your own membership site and charge a recurring bill to your customers.
As long as you deliver the benefits as promised,
you are almost guaranteed a life-long customer who will stay subscribed to your membership site!

Web Hosting

-----------
Now, this is HOT business. Every web site needs a place to call home.
In other words, people need domain name and web hosting when they want to start a web site.

While web hosting is a competitive business,
you can earn recurring income by billing your repeat customers every month.

If one customer pays you $5.00 per month for web hosting, for example,
and you have 100 customers, there is your $500 every month!

Recurring Affiliate Commissions

-------------------------------
If starting your own membership site or web hosting service is too much of a hassle,

you can be an affiliate or Joint Venture with someone else
who is already providing web hosting or membership service
and include your affiliate links in your Information Product.


That way, you can still earn back-end recurring income every month,
every year!

So you see earning recurring income from the same customer
without any extra effort is easier than just possible!

40. How to Run A Successful Affiliate Program

 

How to Run A Successful Affiliate Program

by: Adam Waxler

Copyright 2004 Adam Waxler


If you are promoting an affiliate program give people what they need free valuable stuff you can get them  to give away
http://silveradigun.veretekk.com

you will also need leads get 2000 leads a day here.

There are many people who log onto the internet everyday looking for a way to make money online.

They start with all the best intentions, but unfortunately, before they know it they are getting bombarded with information and are simply spinning their wheels.

I completely understand this. There is so much internet marketing information online and once you get started it seems like “information overload”.

Therefore, I will try to keep this as simple and short as possible.

Many people will sign up with an affiliate program promoting the affiliate’s product or program. This makes sense. Starting as an affiliate marketer is probably the easiest way to get started online. There are many affiliate programs out there that will give you everything you need to promote their products or program…Well almost everything.

You see, many of these affiliate sites will give you a website, but you don’t own the site. It is a gateway site. You don’t even own the domain name for that matter.

Being part of one of these programs is not bad though. I belong to several. SFI is a perfect example. I joined their program and have several sites that they gave me to promote their products and their affiliate program.

But if you are truly going to make money with these types of sites you are going to have to do a lot more than simply sign up for their program.

It is simply unreasonable to think that people are going to just stumble upon your site and sign up for your program and start making you money.

There are a few things you need to do if you truly want to make an affiliate program work.

First of all, you must have your “own” web page with your “own” domain name and your “own” host. You will then have links from your “own” site to the other “gateway” site(s). You will promote your gateway site it, but you will promote it through your own site.

There are so many reasons for this I couldn’t possible fit it into this one article, but basically the site is yours to run the way you want to. Think of it this way…it is “your” store and you are selling “their” product.

Your web page could be designed as a short sales letter that focuses primarily on this one program if that is what you choose. Or, you could focus on several affiliate programs and products within the same market. For example, a sales letter with the top 3-5 money making opportunities.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: Either way, promoting one program/product or promoting several, you will not only want to own your own site, you definitely want to be able to “drop in” on potential customers from time to time. What I mean by that is you want to capture email addresses of people who visit your site.

To do so you need to give something away that is of enough value that people are willing to give up their email address and receive something from you week after week or at least month after month.

A newsletter/ezine is perfect for this. Send out a weekly or monthly newsletter on your topic that includes articles, tips, e-courses, bonuses etc. This way you can plug your programs over and over again (not just once).

I know this sounds like a lot…design your own web site and your own newsletter.

However, there are programs available that actually set everything up for you, including a website, an autoresponder, a pre-written newsletter, and even unlimited support.

Plug-in-Profit (PIPS) (http://www.money-teacher.com/pluginprofitsite.htm) is a perfect example. You can have a web site that site is 100% yours to change however you wish. The site comes ready to promote 5 different programs. You could work with as many of them as you want and you can also add your own.

You also get a pre-written newsletter and autoresponder that is also 100% customizable. The newsletter is obviously designed to promote the programs that come with the web site, but you can change it however you wish.

PIPS may or may not be what you are looking for; however, if you truly want to be successful online you will definitely need your own web site and your own newsletter.

41. Make Money Online: Work from the Comfort of Your Own Home
Make Money Online: Work from the Comfort of Your Own Home
by: Harley Darby
Copyright 2005 Harley Darby

With so many ways to make money online, what is the best way to work from the comfort of your own home without breaking a sweat?

To make money online requires skill and patience. This article will reveal the essentials required to work from home as a full time "Megapreneur."

Quick riches lead to quick losses -- therefore the term "Megapreneur" relates the mindset required to analyse short, medium and long term goals required to accumulate wealth and build lasting profitable relationships on and off the web.

The key points to make money online start with capturing leads 
http://silveradigun.veretekk.com generated by promotional activites and following up with those leads. If this is not done traffic to your site is unlikely return. Some people may make the impulse buy, but most require adequate information to complete thier purchase. Repeat visits and repeat customer follow ups are essential for longevity of any work from home e-business venture.

To find customers, customers need to be able to find you. This can be achieved by being ever present at customer meeting spots and drawing thier attention. Pay per click, Search engine optimization,
http://silveradigun.webcatch.netFree offers, Article writing and Press releases such as this one provide the opportunity to present goods and services to cater to a prospective customers needs and wants.

Copyrighting skills help to convey critical points and features to the prospect . The copy should also aim to overcome objections and to persuade readers at the same time. This same copy should also invoke feelings in the reader. The two most common are curiousity and urgency.

Risk reversal is also another powerful tool which can gain sceptical readers trust. Using the above tactics have been proven to turbo charge conversion rates. At the time of conversion an opportunity also arises for cross selling and upselling which further increases profits.

Next step is to start an affiliate program to reward people who can give you even more sales than would have otherwise been achieved. Offer a generous commission so your affiliates remember you as the best person to compensate them for thier efforts.

Joint venture partnerships can be forged if you are able to create a synergy which is mutually beneficial to both parties. What can you offer somebody that they are unable to achive without you? What can you gain by having them onboard your campaign? Answer these questions and your chances of making a JV deal will increase greatly.

This is just a sample of the actions required to be a successful "Megapreneur". And with the rise of information products comes the opportunity for common marketing techniques to be applied to an unlimited number of niches, so that people from all walks of life can make money online, if they have the staying power to succeed.

42. Happy as You Want to Be
Happy as You Want to Be

Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy'
by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying
its message of being happy to everyone.

Bobby Mcferiin's simple message surely made a lot of people
by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful,
and is also good for your health.

Being happy actually protects
you from the stresses of life.

Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease,
cancer and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is -
'The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change',
and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to.

Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation
we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness.
People are different, accept people for who or what they are,
avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments.

If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort
to understand the situation and you might just get along with well with

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to
make a life more wonderful and also more healthy.

To be happy is relatively easy, just decide to be a happy person.
Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time
can choose how happy or stressed,

how relaxed or troubled,how bright or dull their outlook to be.

The choice is simple really, choose to be happy.

There are several ways by which you can do this.
 
Being grateful is a great attitude.  
We have so much to be thankful for.

Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely,
thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who
cleans your windows.

Also thank the mailman for bringing you your mails,
thank the policeman for making your place safe and thank God for being alive.

News is stressful.

Get less of it. Some people just can't start
their day without their daily dose of news.

Try and think about it,
99% of the news we hear or read is bad news.

Starting the day with
bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A religious connection is also recommended.

Being part of a religious group with its singing,
sacraments, chanting, prayers and meditations foster inner peace.

Manage your time.

Time is invaluable and too important to waste.
Time management can be viewed  as a list of rules that involves scheduling,
setting goals,

planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing.
These are the core basics of time management that should be understood
to develop an efficient personal time management skill.

These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer
points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.

Laugh and laugh heartily everyday.  
Heard a good joke?

Tell your friends or family about it.
As they also say -'Laughter is the best medicine'.
 
Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you.
They will most likely reciprocate your actions.
Try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations,
this is bad for your health.

Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.
 
Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction.
It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks.
Accomplishments are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value.
Work on things that you feel worthy of your time.
 
Learning is a joyful exercise.
Try and learn something new everyday.  
Learning also makes us expand and broaden our horizons.

And could also give us more opportunities in the future.

Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made for.
Feel alive.
 
Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.

These are the few simple things you can do everyday to be happy.

And always remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, he says that,
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."


43. Can you earn money online with dreams?

Can you earn money online with dreams?

 

May be you can I don’t know about that, what I do know Dreams are a connection to our inner world and they often give us pointers in our life as to where our focus should be at a particular point in your life.

 

We all dream I mean in this case sleep dreams.

 

I use to have a dream as a kid where I would go to a place it was a path that people would walk along, and in this path

I would always find money could coins it was such an exciting feeling.

 

When I awoke I would often go to the place as it was a real place in the village that I lived

. I would search for the coin but never found any I was 6 or seven years old, and did not understand that dreams were speaking in a symbolical language.

 

What was so important was not so much the money but rather the feeling off discovering the treasure. Often in life it is the discovery are of something wonderful that gives us the feeling that we so relish when we first succeed at something

That is when we feel the most pleasure then we become accustom to the feeling and we seek out new adventures.

 

What was that dream purpose It was pointing to a treasure the treasurer was within me and it

It could be found when I start to walk the path the path lead away from the main road

So my path did not follow the main stream it was a inner journey.

 

Only in my later years did that path begin but I was given notice of it in my youngest years.

It is often so in life that we are give hints of which direction to go in life in the moment maybe you did not realise it only on reflection you say yes that was already hinted at in your life

And now you understand it.

 

So the question is have you been given a hint in your life that show you in which direction

Look and reflect May you will just see in what direction to go look at your dreams learn there language

44. living in the moment

This morning I thought I would writ about something different.

Not about how to make money online or earn money online

But rather about living in the moment and the pleasure therein

 

I usually do a morning walk to start my day at that

Time of the day it is usually quite and I fined it

Easer to just be where I am in the moment and simply enjoy being.

 

Any way as I was walking this morning the idea came to mined

 That I could writ a about being in the moment or see if it

Is possible for me to do to write about being in the moment now?

 

I mean when one is in the moment there is only what is.

 

Ok what is the point of writ a about being in the moment?

It is an experiment.

 

If you have a little time you can travel along with me.

If not we will meet in my next article which will be in some way about

Marketing online or earning money online.

 

If you have read this far and starting to feel a little disappointed

You can go to veretekk for live training in all different aspect

Of internet marketing and it is free here is the link http://silveradigun.veretekk.com

 

 Living in the moment

 

You know as I write this I realise to write like I am doing now

I could still write about any thing I like and still be in the moment. And I could tell you anything

About my life are about marketing are what ever and I would Still be in the present.

 

Because I am telling it from The present moment I would only be away from the moment if

I got lost in the story I am telling leaving the moment behind

 

But as long as I keep conscious of the moment then I am in the moment

You might be wondering what it is I am talking about.

And I don’t blame you because I am thinking this out as I go along so please bear with me.

 

There might be no reasoning in what I am saying.

You might be saying you are always present in the moment so

Let me define what I mean by living in the moment or in the

Present moment.

 

It is to be where your body is in the moment to be aware of what is in your environment

And at the same time what you are feeling inside your body.

To be living conscious inward and out wards at the same time.

 

That is not to be in your memory of things gone by are in

The future thing of things to come but to see what you see

Hear what you hear feel what you feel from moment to moment.

 

It is a letting go every moment

With your whole being just to be there now reading this.

Then when you walk away from the computer you lave it not thinking

About past or future but conscious

 

Because the moment as move on though you can still use the information that

You gather here.

It is in you and part of you if it as any value for you and if not Then you don’t need it.

 

If you could imagine the moment moving at super speed to keep with

It you need to be still need it is always moving.

 

We usually leave the moment by trying to hold on to the past

Or to get rid of the things we don’t like.

 

We worry about the things that can happen to us on the journey into

Life and so we leave the blessed moment luckily the moment is always there it never laves us

Behind all we have to do is turn our attention back to the moment when we notice we have left it.



45. Internet Gold Rush

About every 30- 50years there appears to be a great possibility for a lot of people to get rich easily and quickly.

 

When one look at history you will see that in t1845 was the gold rush in the 19th century oil boom,

In the 1920's the stock market hustles, in the 1950 and 60 the get rich-quick mail order schemes 

And now the internet gets rich quick hype in the late 1990’s and early 21st century. 

 When people notice or think others or getting rich doing something that appear to be effortlessly or with little or no effort,

The all want a piece of the cake and why not? Seeking fame and fortune.

But usually the ones that get rich are the
exception rather than the rule.


Unfortunately, people perceive those "exceptions" as the rule, rather than the special cases they actually represent.

But, if you're determined that you can be one of the "chosen few" who get rich online, 

The following tips will save you years of frustration.

** Little gold mines**

Don't try to get rich online with one gold or oil "strike!"

 operate stock income targeting multiple niche markets  if you don’t know what sock income is there is a book written

By David Gray About the concept you can get it Here

others sell many products and make their money by creating multiple streams of income rather
than depending on a single website to stake their claim for online riches.

** Solve Problems **

People go online to solve problems.

Whether they need to improve their job interview skills or find a winter coat and hat for their
Chihuahua, they want to find products or knowledge they don't currently possess.

The more pressing the problem, the easier and faster these people will buy.

The easiest way to make a fortune online involves finding the most severe problems you can and charging for the solutions.

** Sweat, Not Money **

Most people want to throw money at a problem and hope that will get them what they desire.

This fact keeps the "get-rich-quick" schemers in business.

However, the best way to make money online involves the dreaded word work, learning a
market inside and out, discovering what they want to buy and why, and then selling it to them.

Have Fun And Know Your Why

It is important you choose something you have fun doing and may be even more important is to know your why
why you doing it away from the fact that you will make money it is said if your why is not big enough you
wont make it but will easily get distracted along the way. Know your why and go for it.



46. Don't Mistake Activity For Achievement
Don't Mistake Activity For Achievement

Don't Mistake Activity For Achievement

Have ever felt frustrated at the end of a day because you were busy the whole day
but when you take a look at what it is that you achieve that day you see that it was nothing more
than time wasting? I know you don’t even want to think about it.

It is important to learn how to take conscious action
effective action rather than just being over active and getting nothing done.

I have notice that I can literally waste a day doing a lot but not been really effective
checking my email more times than I need to.

Over clicking on the send/receive button looking for new
messages that say something like "Congratulations You Have
Made Another Sale.

It is so easy to constantly log into a program and check my
stats over and over. What's the point? If they do change it
isn't enough to even merit the time it takes to do it over
and over.

Reading or starting some new program that I think will help my ad campaign
but not doing the things that need to be done each day to develop my business

it is so easy to get distracted but I am not telling you anything new you know that already
like the saying goes been there don that.

But how do we keep our focus so that we are effective not just active doing a lot of nothing?
it is so easy to  mistake activity for  achievement.

This can apply to our everyday lives or any thing we are trying to achieve
and more directly to our internet marketing careers. As we all work hard to make
money online and make money at home you should ask yourself
this question everyday, "Is what I'm doing right now going
to help me move my business forward?"

is it brining me to my stated goals?


How about this one.
Reading posts in forums until your eyes
are blurry. That's o.k. if you are involved and making some
posts as well. You might as well get your link out there
and posting is a great way to learn something as well as do
that. But you have to post once in awhile too.

Here's the key to getting yourself past the activity mode
and into the achievement mode.

Write down 5 specific things you want to accomplish
everyday to help you make money on the internet. Here is an
example of this.

1. Blast my ad out from
http://silveradigun.veretekk.com
2. Develop my links popularity
with by drilling out my ads to 
http://silveradigun.ffafarm.com
3. Write article for my blog
4. Down load my leads from
http://silveradigun.freeffas.com
and get them verified
5. Call 6 of my home business prospects

Now what is the key to these 5 things on my list? Well for
starters they are written down. Next it is an advertising
and marketing driven list.

If you aren't spending 80-90% of your time on advertising
and marketing your home business then you have no right to
complain when you aren't making any money. It is that
simple.

You have to write down action items for the day and the
majority of those action items have to be doing something
to advertise and market your business.

Every one of us has different amounts of time we can spend
everyday working to make money online. It isn't how much
time you spend, but how you spend it that will determine
your long term success.

49. the most powerful marketing tool ever devised

The internet is the most powerful marketing tool ever devised.

But how to use it? Well at first I just surf around reading things I am more passionate about

Mostly to do with god and the spiritual way.

 

I also became aware of the possibility to make money online.

How to do that I did not have a clue I tried a few ready made business

They all flop.

 

Why I did not know how to market online until I came across veretekk that was the beginning

Of my marketing education. I have learnt a lot still have more to learn

But now I am, earning money as I learn.

 

To earn money as you learn how to get even more skilful as a marketer is definitely a motivation for me.

 

I use my veretekk system to promote my OBA business which is a excellent business for any one who is just starting out.

Online you only need $5 to start and after that you need not pay any more money out of your pocket you because you can earn $5

When you earn enough money to invest in the next vase of the business.

 

The amount you earn is completely your decision and the good thing with it is once you are at a certain level every

Thing is on autopilot.

 

If you are considering starting a business join my team I will show you exactly what I have been doing to earn as I learn you can do the same.

 

I always dream of having the money to do the things I enjoy to go where I want when I want and to live where I choose this as now become a real possibility for me.

 

As I start to generate more income through my on line activities .

It is also great  NOT TO HAVE A BOSS.

 

Interest

And I love to dance and do so regularly.

Favourite film

The Matrix and I enjoy science fiction films gnarly and comedy being my self an comedy entertainer.

Something you will learn about from some of my other writings.

 

Favourite music

Soul reggae and what is now as world music

If it rocks I will enjoy it.

 

Favourite book

Know yourself by Barry long- Daughter Of Fire by Irina Tweedie "Science of Getting Rich" - Wallace D Wattles

Awakening the World by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

I do love to read so this list could go on for a while I leave it at that for now.




50. Sorry I must have angered the writing Gods

Sorry I must have angered the writing Gods

Because today I am quteing somebody article in a big way. Why? well I am we are having fantastic weather right now in Berlin and I don’t want to spend the whole of my time in front of the computer. And this is an interesting article about freedom from worries not just money worries either .take a look see what you think.

I really wanted to write about making money online.

Instead of writing about making money online I let this author give you his insight on freedom from worries. And I will write about making money a other time what do you think about that.

In case after reading my money less article you don’t feel too good are find yourself still worrying then a have a few freebies for you plus a great business offer starting at only $5

Wow I here you say well you might say wow just check it out.

[“There is some man in your own town whom you have always admired and about whose evident freedom from worry and care you have always wondered. You know him to be a successful man and you almost envy him. At least you would like to know the secret of his apparent success and happiness. The next time you meet him on the street, stop him and ask him. Such a man is always glad to impart the secret of his success to any worthy person.

And when this man has told you the secret it could be summed up in these words: He knows how to save; he saves physical effort, mental effort, tangible things such as food and clothing and--money.

It was some years after the Declaration of Independence before this Country became really free and independent. It may take some of us a few years after the declaration to realize absolute freedom and independence, but those who have the courage to make the declaration will finally win and those who have not the courage will be like the seven members of Congress, who did not sign the Declaration of Independence. Most of us do not even know who they were; they have passed into oblivion.

"Men do not have their choice whether they will accept life or not; but they can choose how they will live."--Emerson.

CHAPTER VII

"Freedom hath a thousand charms to show, that slaves how ever contented never know."--Cowper.

INDEPENDENCE in the full sense of the word means absolute freedom. "No man is free, who is not master of himself" and no man is master of himself who is a slave to any man or thing.

A man may be "free, white and twenty-one" and still be an abject slave. He may be a slave to a habit, a slave to fashion or a slave to his job.

51. making money online

making money online

 

There seem to be tens of thousands of offer to help you make money online.

Every day there are new offers coming into your email telling you just signup no need to do any thing and the money will come rolling in..

 

it is however not that simple . yes you can make money online but you do have to work  you have to plan

And you have to put the time into your business no matter what it is.

 

The internet is a great medium to communicate with each other no matter where you are baste in the world.

This opens up the possibility for us to make money in a way we could not do be for.

How ever we do still need to use our common sense no one is going to send money to you just because you sign up in a program you will have to put the time in that is just the way it is.

 

Having said that how do you make money online? Many people have found ways to make money online?

Not only that, but their incomes are significant and growing, due to the low cost of entry. If I can do it, then there is no reason why you can't.

 

There are many, many, opportunities online, but here are the 5 factors you really need to consider, to guarantee your success:

1. Set your goals.
As with any business you need to set goals. Goals help you visualize where you want to go, and keep you motivated when you get up in the morning. You goal may be to earn $200 or $10000 a month, it may be to take that dream vacation, or it may be to give up your job. These are all great goals. It is imperative that you write them down and reread them often. You need a short term goal - e.g monthly goal, to keep you motivated from day to day and a longer term goal 1-2 years - to keep you on track and prevent you from 

chucking it in. I am confident that if you adopt a positive attitude and embrace your goals then you will soon be making money online.

2You may have read some of the books telling you how to attract what you want.

They do sound very lovely.

 

You have to change you thought about money imagine you have a lot of it  feel it believe it and the money will start rolling in. 

 

I came across a nice little experiment  here it is get yourself a glass of water put it on the table in front of you and imagine that the water come to you with out you taking the glass into your hand.

 

if the water don’t miraculously  enter into your mouth with out you doing any thing

you could try praying to the water if that does not work you could get pretty angry with the water  and really shout some abuse at it

 

May be that will help. Well I hope you get the point it is not enough to image what you want to have the good feeling you have to take action so what you need is clear vision with action to make that vision real

So imagine it feel it act as if it is so but take the necessary action every day in day out in this way you will make money online or offline if you so choose.

 

2. Take time to research.
As I alluded to earlier there are people making money online - and there are thousands of different businesses that you can try. 

The internet is Full of information and “making money online” opportunities are not difficult to find. 

However you will need to decipher the genuine opportunities from the scams. 
Many online promises are just methods to extract money from you. 
There is a very good book that tells you about some of the scam that are being used on line
it is worth a read it is called  stop being a victim in the mean time here are Some do's and don'ts

 
DON'T fall for the “get rich quick schemes” that promise huge returns in record time
DO try and email or telephone for more information
DO search online for feedback on the opportunity e.g. try name of opportunity + scam
DON'T part with money without consulting a friend you can trust and/or sleeping on it.

3. Find something that you like.

Do a who is check on the company are person
You're the boss now - so do yourself a favour and choose something you enjoy.

This will greatly enhance your chances of success. A few things to consider:
Do you enjoy writing?
Do you enjoy talking to people?
Do you enjoy working on the computer?
Do you have a flair for sales?
Are there particular things that you are passionate about e.g sports, music?
Do you want to be contactable 24x7?
Do you want to have flexible/fixed hours?
Personally I like to work on my computer on my own time and my choice of internet business matches this.
Find out what suits you, and you can weed out the business ventures which are not for you. 
Don't settle for second best - choose something you are comfortable with.


4. Find something worth your while.
While it is a good idea to avoid the sales pitch that promises the sun, moon, and stars; 
it is also important that you don't take the safe option - 
that guarantees $5 an hour for sending emails, filling our surveys, or licking stamps. 

These amount to you underselling yourself, 
because the opportunities of making money on the internet are so much greater. 
Look for systems which offer a good monthly return for a few hours work a day - 
if you find something with a residual income all the better.


5. Anything for an easier life!
One of my motivations for venturing into internet marketing was to create an easier life for myself. 
As I sat in my day job I used to think - “There must be easier ways to make money” - 
and there are! Earning a living online means that you have the luxury of working from home and choosing your own hours. 

It is important that you can exploit these perks, by being able to take time off, 
take extra vacations and spend more time with your family. You need to avoid the 40-50 
hours a week for the sake of your sanity It is easier you will still have to work and 

have a work routine which you do ever day are at least 5 days a week
when you just get going because there is a lot to learn don’t wan't to go on too much about 
this but I feel it is important to know this too few people speak of this 

may be because they think it is obvious are they are anxious to sell you something..

You have taken the first step by reading this article - you now just need to act upon it. 

I wish you the very best in your online endeavours.

53. Lifeworks the thought of making money kept us goin

When I started out as street performer the First 3 month I had to train every day.

But the thought of making money kept us going

My partner and I were doing a physical show we trained every day,

And at the same time we develop a show a routine.

We went to a friend of mine who was working as a clown

She spent ½ a day with us helping us to improve our routine

But I am jumping a head that came a little later down the line.

We spoke about what it would be like when we started to make money when

People would throw money into our hat till it was full

With this in mind we developed our own routine

Then after 3 months of hard work we took our show to the public to the street.

Why am I telling you all this? Well it seem internet marketing is a little like this

You need to develop your ideas make your plan then take it to the public to the net

You will quickly know where you are at. 

If any one is seeing your offer and as important are they buying what you are selling? 

Back to my street performing

We took our Show to the place in London where street perfumers gather

To do there show one after the other all day long we book our spot

Then came the moment of truth we started our show.

We first we manage to pull

A small group of people to watch our show may be about 5 people including

a couple of my nieces.

Don’t laugh it was our first time.

When I started my first internet Business I don’t think I got one person to look at it.

I put it up and waited for the money to come rolling in was that a joke.

Only then did I realise I had to learn how to pull a crowed and that meant learning.

So I bought e-books that told me how to do it but found it difficult to put what

I read into practice so after many e-books and month wasted.

I finally came across Veretekk that is where 

I started to learn how to pull a crowed with their live training

Which was also free couldn’t get much better 

but it did because I came across OBA

They fitted perfectly with my concept of team work.

Any way it took 3 month to develop a show for the street  on line it took 3 month 

just to find out you cant just put a resale’s webpage online and then the money just come rolling in.

With my first street show I started making money straight away even if it was only 2 pounds 50. 

Online I started losing money straight away till I learnt how to get people to take a look

at my offer.

Only after finding Veretekk and OBA did I start making money on line..

 

 P.S you can always take a look at my clown webpage here it is in German but there 

is a couple pictures of me in costume.




54. Lifeworks Start making money online with cooperative
Start making money online with cooperative I have come to the conclusion from some experience and study the Way to succeed is to form a cooperative a partnership with other like minded people. I know this is obvious to many but it took me a while trying to go it alone to realize this simple fact. So why not join Together a group of like minded people work towards the same goal. In OBA there is Great Spirit of team work. OBA is a great place to experience team work, where you can help and t devolve your team. I’m talking about a team that is independent of any particular business. I mean if you have been on line for any leant of time you most of notice that there are many business models that work with down lines. So why not join with a group that work together as a team? Helping each other, our business is our group we have to keep in touch meet online. At least once a week, the power is in the group. We work together to build team in OBA to a certain level of profit we know that the more We help others to succeed the more we succeed. This is the way to start making money online. There are some good education programs online We could have a look at other possibility. We should be independent of any particular business. They can decide to close their doors then we have to start again Or to change the rule in the middle of the game then we may have to start again but if we have our own independent group we can quickly move our group to another project. It might be a bit inconvenient but we would have our business which is our group. It goes without saying that to be a member of the group doesn’t cost any money I said it any way. You need to be willing to stick with your team and work together in cooperation. The way it works is this each person in the cooperative has 3 people that they work with directly. Example I have my three partners so we are 4 totals my 3 partners each have each time totalling for in each mini group which farm the larger group we help each other. That means my 3 partners are also my Maine communication to the group any changes Are new projects I communicate to my 3 partners they do the same with their 3, remember Each person as their own 3 partner to work with this way communicating is quick and easy. Things can be communicated amazingly quickly in this way plus we meet in the OBA forum Regularly to exchange ideas with each other. . OBA is the best place to start building a team because the structure is already in place for us If you Like the idea and would like work with me in creating such a team let me know Or just let me here your comment about this concept. Start making money online with OBA. Skype me My ID: Adigun silver If Skype me Let me know where you found me because Skype also as spammers When I don’t From where you come I tend to block the call. If you want to know more about OBA just go to my website you will find more information.

55. Lifeworks Pulling a crowed

 Pulling a crowed

 What as street performing to do wit marketing on the web?

Well a street perfumer most get the attention of the public the street perfumer as to pull a crowed!

When you marketing online you need to do a similar thing to pull in your prospects

A street perfumer might use any numbers ways to get the attention of his audience.

The street performer might simply shout show time to get attention or performing an 

acrobatic stunt to get the attention of the right audience for his show.

 

So too online we might shout that would be like sending out e-mails to 

people that didn’t ask for it and hope for the best.

 

Are anther way might be to use a click for traffic page, being a bit more targeted.

Are like I am doing here write a blog about some thing you know and 

relating it to your key words this will bring traffic to your website.

 

I ‘ll have more to say about street performing and making money on the web in the

Future.

 



56. Lifeworks forming a Cooperative
Hi welcome to my blog. Lifeworks


Cooperative


I have come to the conclusion from some experience and study the
Way to succeed is to form a cooperative a partnership with other like minded people.

 I know this is obvious to many but it took me a while trying to go it alone to realize this simple fact.

So why not join Together a group of like minded people work towards the same goal.
That is making money on line of one sort or another.

I mean if you have been on line for any leant of time you most of notice that there are many business models that work with down lines.
So why not join with a group that work together as a team?

Helping each other, our business is our group we have to keep in touch meet online.
At least once a week, the power is in the group.

There are a lot of MLM companies online we could work with if they meet certain requirements for us to join them.

It goes without saying that to be a member of the group doesn’t cost any money I said it any way. You need to be willing to stick with your team and work together in cooperation.

The way it works is this each person in the cooperative has 3 people that they work with directly. Example I have my three partners so we are 4 totals I help my 3 partners to get 3 partners each they help their 3 and so on.

That means my 3 partners are also my Maine communication to the group any changes
Are new projects I communicate to my 3 partners then do the same with their 3 remember
Each person as their own 3 partner to work with this way communicating is quick and easy.
Things can be communicated amazingly quickly in this way.

57. Hi welcome to my blog. Lifeworks
Hi welcome to my blog. Lifeworks Cooperative I have come to the conclusion from some experience and study the Way to succeed is to form a cooperative a partnership with other Like minded people. This is a group of people who join their resources Together in order to earn a living online if you have been on line for any leant of time you Would of seen many offers where you are told you can make money if you build a down line. That is you get 3 people and they get 3 exedra. These are mostly mlm companies instead of joining a program then trying to build Down lines why not build your team first? Join our cooperative. You don’t have to pay anything to join only willing to stick with a team and work together in cooperation. The way it works is this each person in the cooperative has 3 people that they work with directly. Example I have my three partners so we are 4 totals I help my 3 partners to get 3 partners each they help their 3 and so on. This is an example of how it works taken from Investworks 1) Unite with your team, review all suggested programs and create your own InVeStworks “online mutual fund” InVeStment portfolio. Invest works requires each person to have 3 investment partners who will commit to invest $1 a day in 3 companies and stay connected. Get together with 3 of your friends and make a commitment to help each other. 2) Review several companies. There are thousands of networking companies that will pay you a commission for your sales and/or referring others. Product based companies and service based networks that will help you grow plants, share recipes, educate you in business and finances, offer discounts on gas, health care, legal assistance, auto leasing, vacations, web sites, shopping malls, connecting musicians, and more. Use my companies or select your own. Nearly everything you desire can be found on network programs that also pay you a commission to shop with them! Select companies with simple compensation plans, good reputations and good mission statements that manufacture their products in ecological balance with the planet. We certainly can’t stay in business without a life-sustaining planet to live on. 3) Reduce the selected programs down to the minimum requirements. You do not care about being a super star in any company. Just begin at the minimum level to tap into the residual income. When you reduce things down to the lowest common denominator you can’t help but create the largest multiplier. This is the Billionaires Secret! It’s the difference between an expensive department store and Wal-Mart. More people can afford to shop at Wal-Mart, thus Wal-Mart is exponentially times richer than any elite department store by sheer volume of mass sales. By participating in each company at the minimum level and by using your same 3 investment partners, you can afford to have a portfolio that is far easier to manage than any other business or investment opportunity. And your profits will grow exponentially, just like Wal-Mart’s. Each person is only responsible for managing his or her 3 investment partners. Try to select companies where you do not need any more than 3 personally sponsored recruits to receive residual income. Did you know that you could reach over a billion people in just 19 days by 3 telling 3 in one day? Word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising! I am actually with a company where your start up is only a one time payment of $5 if you join me I’ll give you more details about it you. The credit for this idea goes to Suzanne she develop Investworks if you would Like to become part of my team get in touch send Skype me My ID: Adigun silver Or send me a email to: sterling.hayden@gmx.de with the subject Lifeworks You can also go to my website and join my mailing list.

58. Lifeworks Why did you start your own internet business?
Why did you start your own internet business? Most people immediately respond, “For the money!” However, this is not the real reason. No one subjects themselves to the hard work of building a business just for little pieces of paper with the faces of dead presidents. The truth is you work in order to obtain what those little pieces of paper can bring you. The first thing you need to do is to find the reason WHY you are marketing online. Is it the freedom to choose whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it? Maybe you are looking for a different lifestyle. If there is one thing that is critical to your online business success, this is it. If you don’t have a reason, there is no motivation to succeed. In other words you need to know your why really think about it Find out what it is. Your why as to be strong enough to take you through the times when the odds seem to be against you. You can try going it alone online with your business but that is a Shore way to failure you need to work in a team you have to net work even if you write your own book and selling it others. To really succeed you have to get the help of others. If you are a net work marketer a network marketing business is a teaching and coaching business. If you don’t like interaction with other people, a network marketing business probably is not for you. There’s a concept that most network marketers just can’t seem to get a handle on. You do not sponsor “reps,” you sponsor “people!” If you have to find a reason why you are building your network marketing business, on the internet then doesn’t it stand to reason that other people will have to do the same thing? If that’s the case, then why is it that network marketers continually focus on how much money your prospect can earn? There’s no way you are going to convince “Joe blog,” to get out of his Lazyboy recliner unless you find out what his motivation is. Most network marketers literally pound in the amount of money Joe can earn. They bombard him with message after message about how “Successful Sam” has just purchased his 10th Porsche, refurnished his 25,000 square foot cottage and promise Joe that he can do the same! Just how realistic is this approach? Joe isn’t stupid. He works long, hard hours at his job in order to provide for his family and truly believes that the best thing he can hope for is saving enough money by summer to pay for a camping trip. Then here you come, promising Joe that he can have everything that Sam has and he can have it if he will just sign that piece of paper making you his sponsor! You will probably sponsor a few people that way, but if you are in business for the long haul you need to change your approach and do it fast. The proper approach is so simple, but in your rush to sponsor another “rep” instead of helping another person, all too often you talk yourself into and straight out of sponsoring the Joes of the world. God gave you two ears and one mouth and he did it for a reason. We are supposed to “listen” twice as much as we “speak.” Instead of pouncing on Joe with the latest and greatest network marketing program of all time, find out what Joe wants and needs. Ask him questions, lots of questions. In fact, in your first meeting with Joe, don’t even mention your business! Yes, that’s what I said. Don’t even bring it up. Remove yourself from the super duper network marketing persona and spend time making a new friend. You see what you want to do is build a team that you can work with Over long period of times may be years and the way to do that is to concentrate on helping others and showing them how to do the same. Follow these recommendations and you are set to grow your internet business as large as you want. All the best

59. Lifeworks great weather in Berlin
We are having great weather in Berlin at this time and I enjoy it when I go for my morning walk. I just love this spring weather the temperature is just right for me not too warm and not cold.

60. Lifeworks 4 in every 100 affiliates actually make
Any way I am sitting at my computer again. So I had better write something that might be of help to you. I read that only 4 in every 100 affiliates actually make more than a few dollars. This is a truly awful statistic, but one that can be easily changed. The reasons as to why this phenomenon of awful sales occurs are numerous. In this article, I will be dealing with resell rights e-book packages, as the sales example item. However overall this article, can be applied, to any sales product. I mean if you are spending you time and money online why are you doing it? You want to make money online right . So let’s look at some of the mistakes people are making because of lack of knowledge.

61. Lifeworks number one reason why sellers fail online
The number one reason why sellers fail online is caused by a lack of knowledge, as how to advertise their products. FFA's are a good example of this. Visit any ffa page on the net and you will see people struggling. Thousands of affiliates and other sellers use these methods as their sales vehicle. It is certain you will fail if you use these type of methods. The only people who will ever see these type of sites will be other sellers. And it would have to be one brilliant product, to be able to make a successful sale, to another seller via this method. The second main reason, are products which are sold with pre-built sales pages. This whole process promotes a system, by which sellers think they can promote and provide websites, built-up totally with single web sales pages, and make easy money as a result.

62. Lifeworks initially purchased by sellers
The resell products, themselves, mostly are initially purchased by sellers, because of a main sales pitch of 'You Will Make Easy Money'. The product itself becomes second best. Potential income becomes the sellers main driving point and this simply misses the mark totally. This is a real online marketing trap. All this provides is a one page sales pitch without the backing of any real substance. This substance can only be given by the backing of a real website, with your resale products built in, as part of it. And the products you sell should always be a necessary part of the topics covered by your website.

63. Lifeworks never sell items with standalone sales pages
Remember always; never sell items with standalone sales pages, without a reference point. And this reference point should always initially be found exactly, in the beating heart of the pre-sale that can be found on your own website. We will get to this point in more detail further below shortly. As a further proof of another form of this lack of substance. Some people do not even read the product that they are selling I know I was guilty of this myself at the start. Actually I was pretty green I would buy a resale’s right product with the standard webpage set it up with some difficulty and wait for the money to roll in.

64. Lifeworks I know what you are thinking .
I know what you are thinking . Yes I can read mind’s how can any one be so *!%&’*”!!!! you see I got it right didn’t I. LOL in the mean time I have learnt you have to know what you are selling or prompting because you don’t want to sell people rubbish sell something you believe in you know its quality and you can stand by it. You can honestly say to some one This will help you to do or get what you want. I have found this to be a good policy, it gives me a good feeling to Know what I am doing is helping others to get what it is they want. So how do you succeed online with real success? Firstly if you want to make money online consistently you need, as stated earlier, a real website. If I would not have gone through the experience myself, I would be amazes at how many sellers just don't even have a real website of there own. You need to show potential buyers what motivates you in what you do.

65. Lifeworks Provide a website of substance
If you have a website system of single web sales pages. You are never going to achieve any success online. Design a website around what motivates and excites you. Build information that you have written yourself, and quality information written by others, that has real information value. Provide a website of substance that aligns itself to great informational links. Always Align your website, with other websites that have the same commitment, with exactly the ideas you hold most valuable. Show a potential buyer or even just that website visitor cruising the net. That you know exactly what you are talking about, and promote your products around this knowledge.

66. Lifeworks Secondly learn exactly how
Secondly learn exactly how to promote your website successfully. Seek out the knowledge of others who are successful online and take in all the information that they offer. The reason why in the previous paragraph, I mentioned the need for a real website before this topic of advertising, has other benefits as well. If you have a real website you will get indexed well in the search engines. Getting indexed well, will gain you quality targeted traffic, that costs nothing. So build a good website, submit it to the engines, and simply let time take its course. For example to get into Google it is going to take about 7 months there is no way

67. Lifeworks Can You Really Make Money with Surf for Cash Programs
Lifeworks Can You Really Make Money with Surf for Cash Programs? May be, I think it is time consuming way to make money online with very little return. It might seem like the easiest way to stare making money but is it? Some of these pay to surf programs don’t even pay you for all your effort. A Better Way to Make Money Online It seems that even IF you find legitimate Surf for Cash program, it will take ages to get even a $30 payout. I still think it is much easier to start your own online business there are a number of programs out there online the question is which one is genuine and not some kind of scam. Buy the book Stop Being A Victim? It only cost $5 and gives good information about scamps online plus the book itself offers you a simple way to start your own business on line. You can also sell other people’s products and services via an affiliate program. If you are up to it you can sell your own products this gives you full control of your business. To do this you will need your own website, register your own domain name, select a web hosting company and learn how to get traffic to your site. Are You Wasting Time It's time to ask yourself, "Am I wasting time on the Internet?" and "Does it really serve me to do what I am doing?". If we are doing the same old things and not getting the desired results, it may be time to shift our thinking and open up to new ideas, or do some of the stuff we know we "should" do but have been to lazy to do it. And start making money online.

68. Lifeworks Scams
We fall pray to these scams because so many need and want more money and they need or want to make that money quickly. So they believe, or hope that what the scammer is telling them will be true. But understand this; even the greatest, largest companies in the world took time and work to build. So, how do we spot the scams? Well, if you are serious about operating your own home based business there are things you can watch out for. Sort of the red flags of the business opportunity world. Let's have a look at some now. - Charging you for information about their business opportunity. It's pretty plain and simple. A so called business opportunity tells you all you have to do is go to your mail box pick up the checks and cash them, but first you must send them a check to get the information on how this is done. I'm of the thinking that your check is going to be the only check getting cashed here. This type of ad appears all over the internet. But if their business opportunity is so good why must you pay to find out what it is. Would it not make more sense to give you that information for free so they could get you interested in their product? I would think so! And unfortunately many people get scammed into sending these frauds the money they ask for. Then if they receive the information they paid for they will often find it pretty much useless and often they are require to send more money for more information. Stay away from these types of ads; they will not get you a successful home based business! I f you check out the book don’t be a victim it goes into details about the kind of scamps that are rampant on the internet the book only cost $5 dollars if you press my link you will find it ´there

69. Lifeworks Scams
We are bombarded day after day with get rich quick schemes telling us how easy it is to make money online without any effort just sits back and watch the money roll in. Our e-mail in box gets full with these offers of quick money We are told make money while you sleep or may be while you relax on the beach. These people know their business they know we could do with the extra money that we don’t want to work to make others rich , we want to spend more time with our family do the things we feel are worth while being our own boss. But these schemas don’t deliver on their promises the millions don’t come rolling no matter how hard you try.

70. Lifeworks Scams
The world is full of people who feel they can take advantage of others to obtain their goals in life. Fraud, Deceit & Scams happen in the real world every day. Just tune into your local news to hear about them. But, Fraud, Deceit & Scams also happen in the virtual world as well. And one can easily fall pray to the scammers the have slick campaigns create looking web pages and promise you the world. They know what you want, offer you a chance to make money with out effort they know you well.

2. Tips for Business Success in Today's Tough Market Place
By Storm Castle

Does your company do business to business prospecting? Have you ever considered using an outbound telemarketing company? If you are wondering if your business will be able to endure the current economic troubles, this article is exactly what you need to read. There are six tips that can help your business find success even in a bad economy.

The following six tips are ways your company can not only survive, but thrive during tough economic times. Increasing your marketing budget, using the power of leverage, focusing your efforts where they will be most effective, properly training your employees, providing excellent customer service and keeping a positive attitude are all ways to keep your business profitable in difficult economic times.

The first way for increasing profits during a recession may sound backwards, but increasing the amount of money you spend on marketing your business instead of reducing it is one thing that can help your business make a profit during a recession. Countless businesses make the mistake of considering their marketing an expense instead of an investment and wind up destroying their businesses by cutting back in this area.

The second tip is to use the power of leverage by hiring a business to business prospecting company to do outbound telemarketing for your business. This helps your team use their time more wisely.

The next tip is to focus your efforts where they will be most effective, which is spending time closing sales. When the telemarketing programs do their job effectively your team can spend the majority of their time making sales which means increased profits for you.

The fourth tip involves properly training your employees to work with the highly qualified leads they receive from these lead generation companies. Proper training will help them make the most of these leads and sales will go through the roof regardless of what is happening in the economy.

The fifth tip for business success in tough economic times is to provide excellent customer service. Getting repeat business is much more cost effective and profitable than having to constantly prospect for new business so it is vital to keep your current customers happy.

The sixth and final tip for business success in tough economic times is keeping a positive attitude. People have a tendency to create the exact amount of success they believe they will and your positive attitude will be reflected in your employees' attitudes and achievements as well as your own.

Implementing the six ways listed above can help your business to increase profits during a recession. Business to business prospecting is one area to concentrate your marketing efforts in since this will make four of the six ways happen. Then all you have to worry about are the last two ways including treating your clients to outstanding service and maintaining an optimistic outlook.

4. Secret Exposed: How the Google Search Engine Really Works
By Henry Zeng

While we don't often think about - or even care - how the Google search engine works, it is very important for an online marketer who is using search engine optimization, or natural search marketing for their online business to understand the basic principles that drive Google.

There are three main parts to Google: Googlebot, The Indexer, and the Query Processor. Each of these three parts is crucial to online businesses, believe it or not. Let's take a deep look at each of these Google elements to see how they work.

Googlebot is the search engine spider that comes to your website and spiders your pages. It isn't an actual spider, of course.

It actually works more like a web browser by calling a server and requesting pages, and downloading them - just as you do when you open your browser, type in an URI, and then the web page loads.

Googlebot, however, is run by big number of computers and performs this task much faster than one user could on their home or work personal computer. And Googlebot doesn't know if a website exists until a URL is put into their Add URL form, or until they find a link point to that site on another web page.

When Googlebot comes to a page, they take all the links from that page, and put them in a queue for crawling, and repeat this process over and over again. Once Googlebot has found a link, and downloaded the page, it hands that page off to the Indexer.

The Indexer stores the pages in Google's Index Data base. The Index then sorts all of the pages in its data base, alphabetically, by looking at all of the keywords on the pages. The Indexer does not pay any attention to what Google calls stop words, such as is, on, or, why, how, etc. It just pays attention to more important keyword type words.

The Indexer, after Indexing pages, waits for the Google Query Processor to ask it for a list of documents. A keyword is given to the Query Processor, which in turn asks the Indexer for a list of stored websites contain that keyword.

The Indexer then supplies the Query processor with a list of the documents, and the Query processor presents the documents to the user who requested the keyphrase.

You see, each element is important to the others. It all starts with the Googlebot finding your web page link on another site, or by you going to Google and using the Add form to submit your site.

8. Adelaide Small Business Need SEO
By Dr S Ausman

There are no secrets on how to rank high with the major search engines because effective search engine optimizations are now immense. What is search engine optimization? Before we discuss that thing, you have to understand first how search engines work and a bit of know-how.

Search engines are into providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was used. They are sophisticated pieces of technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase. Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn't relate to the search term, or if the results are old. People expect the most up-to-date and fresh information that is useful to them.

Updating your website everyday and adding some materials will help you get noticed by the search engines. So, if you are going to sell any type of product or service online, you have to optimize your website for the search engines, in order to boost traffic and sales. It is because over 90% of your business will likely come directly from search engine results. And for that reason, it is absolutely important to optimize your site for search engines for you to have the greatest deals in the entire world.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process by which webmasters or online business owners utilize strategic copy to augment their website's status. It is certain that the internet has grown so fast over the years and the competition for the best search engine position has created an enormous market. Therefore, better understanding the fundamental elements of Search Engine Optimization is vital for an online business' success.

Making use of effective search engine optimization techniques will improve the page rank of your website. There are many tricks that can be used to increase page rank; the most effective method is to provide high quality content consistently. This seems like a simple concept but there are many websites that fails to provide content that visitors find interesting. Sites which provide content that are interesting, well-written and regularly updated create highly engaged visitors who are more likely to return to the website in the coming days. So, if you can set your website apart from those boring, lifeless sites then do it. You'll surely have a step closer to achieving high page rank through search engine optimization.

The next significant factor for an effective search engine optimization is to include keywords and phrases within your content. To make sure that you are properly targeting your market, you have to make sure that the keywords and phrases you have on your site are the keywords and phrase that your site is actually optimized for. The more keywords you use in your content, the more likely it is that online visitors will find your site when they do some research with those words. If you are unfailing with these techniques, then your overall search engine optimization will increase, boosting your page rank.

You should also have to develop a linking strategy as a part of your search engine optimization. Not only does this provide free advertising for your site, but it makes the impression that your site is imperative because of its affiliated links. For each link that you have pointing back to you, that is another chance for your potential customer to find you. The more inbound links that you have pointing to your site, the higher you will be ranked in the search engines.

Another is to develop a content stratagem. People who get to search from the internet are looking for information. The more information you provide for them and the more helpful it is, the more likely you will make the sale. Writing articles is the most effective way to build up content for your site. When writing articles to post on your site, make sure that you develop a clear means of arranging their content. You can do this by simply adding a new page to your site. This will allow room for extra articles to be added as you write them, and will allow you to build up an archive of articles which will maintain to draw online visitors. Make sure also that you have included your archived articles in a directory that is next to the root web of your site so that the search engines will catalog your online articles.

Always keep in mind that search engine optimization methods are important in developing your site's status. With that thing in mind, make sure that you write high-quality, keyword rich content and link your site to and from a deliberate family of other sites. These things will help improve your site's popularity and coerce increased business through your online business.

10. Get More Business with Autoresponders
By David Jessee

These days, most everyone is familiar with an autoresponder, although many don't know why they are beneficial to businesses. If you aren't familiar with autoresponders, you would probably find yourself amazed with them. An autoresponder can help your business by automatically emailing your clients and customers with a preset message that will help to increase your sales.

An autoresponder can help your list of clients grow, even send each one of them their own personalized email message. If you choose, you can also follow up each individual email with repeated emails, varying the content whenever you wish. These programs will also allow you to keep track of conversations, and send out broadcast email messages whenever you have news or new products to offer your clients.

As research in the past has shown, personalized email from autoresponders is a great way to boost your business. When you send a personalized email to one of your clients, the autoresponder by can address him or her by their name - which always makes a customer take notice. While you could do this yourself using traditional email, it could take you a few hours if you have a long list of customers.

Autoresponders make sending personalized email a snap. All you need to do is set up your email template, then select where you like the name to go. You can add everyone in your customer list to the autoresponder, which makes sending emails a snap. Once you have everything ready to go, all you need to do is send out the emails with one simple click. Best of all, you don't have to set it up again when you need to send out broadcast messages.

Although there are some people who will buy products after one or two emails, most people require about seven or eight emails before they will purchase anything. Autoresponders can really help you there, as they will do all of the emailing for you. You dont have to keep sending manual emails or anything like that. All you need to do is set up the email address, type in your preset message, and then feel free to send it as many times as you like.

Through the use of an autoresponder you can really boost your business. If you run an Internet marketing business, this tool will prove to be invaluable. You can spend less time sending messages and more time doing what you enjoy. If you've never tried an autoresponder before, you owe it yourself to check out everything they will do for you and your business. Online businesses can get a lot of emails on a daily basis, which is where the autoresponder will really start to shine and show you just how great of an asset it really is.

12. Adwords Management - 7 Keys to Success: Part 1
By George Kristopher

Most people advertising in Adwords today don't realize that they are losing tons of customers and leads all due to the fact that they don't know the 7 Key things they must do to set up a successful adwords campaign. If you follow these 7 key steps to setting up your adwords campaign, not only will your ad show up a lot higher in Google, but you'll also pay less per click than people advertising below you! Applying these 7 Crucial Steps will increase the amount of clicks you're getting per day and at the same time decrease the amount of money you're having to spend now!

Optimize Your Campaign For Google Are all of your keywords stuffed into one or just a few adgroups? Google hates it when campaigns are like this and determines that your campaign has 0 Relevancy! I know this strategy works, so for all of my clients I make their campaigns Super Relevant by taking each individual keyword and putting it in ad adgroup all on it's own! I know, it's days worth of work, but it reduces their click cost by an incredible amount! If you don't follow crucial step #1 you're going to be slapped! This means that Google will charge you insane amounts of money for your clicks and give your ads horrible placement.

Optimize your ads for Google The structure of your ads play a huge role in determining how much you pay per click. Just like in step #1 Google is obsessed with "Relevancy". Google's idea of a perfect ad actually has the keyword that was searched on show up twice in the ad; Once in the ad title, and once in the ad text. If Google see's that your ad displaying for the keyword, "injury attorney" actually has the keyword "injury attorney" appearing in your ad title and inyour ad text then Google is going to reward your ad for being perfectly relevant to the keyword that was searched on.

Google is going to reward you in two ways, 1) by charging you less per click and 2) by giving your ad a higher ad placement! But that's not all! Who searches on the keyword "injury attorney" will be more inclined to click on your ad because the actual keyword they searched on shows up twice in your ad! That means that by optimizing your ads you get more clicks, you spend less, AND you get higher ad placement! It's a win win situation!

You might ask, "Well how will I ever have time to write a super targeted ad like that for every keyword I have? That seems impossible!" Well, if you don't have time you should make time. My company write a super targeted ad for EVERY keyword that you have! It's a huge load of work, but we've found it's definitely worth it for our clients. Stay tuned for part 2 of this article series, on "Optimizing your site for Google and Keyword Swiping".

16. Google Gets Voice
Google GrandCentral has grown all up is being relaunched as Google Voice. This service will continue in beta testing with many new features. Grand Central was a start up "one-number access" telephone service that was purchased by Google soon after its debut.

This service will be styled similar to the Skype telephony business model, in that some of the calls are free, and international long distance will be offered at attractive rates way below what normal phone charges would be. As an example, calls to Canada reportedly will be one cent per minute.

This will be a great service for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small office/home office workers, which now includes distance workers, telecommuters and digital nomads. Get in line and queue up for a free Google Voice number.

From The Blogosphere:

Google Voice Blog: Moving to Google Voice!

We are happy to announce that we have made a number of improvements to GrandCentral and are relaunching the service as Google Voice.

Google Voice Speaks of World Domination

Google Voice is a free service that offers "one number for life," so I recently came across your blog and have been reading along.

Get Ready For Google Voice

The folks over at Google are working on a new project called Google Voice. According to the Google Blog site the first beta testing will be for GrandCentral [...]




17. Depression Cooking Teaches
Check out Google Trends this morning, and you will see that Great Depression Cooking tops the charts. The television news anchors are starting to own up to the fact that we are in a depression, and not just your ordinary run of the mill recession.

Imports are down 24% and the economy in the US alone shrank over 6% in just one month. If you think there is any good news in this, it probably is only the fact we need to learn to individually become self reliant again. We can't sustain an economy where the only growth is in government.

If you have already lost your job, and are scratching your head as to what you will do when the unemployment insurance runs out, you may have figured out that it probably won't be a job like you had before. We are headed back to a more mercantile style society, where we each make and trade goods and services. Do you believe you can now start your own small office-home office based on new skills found learned and linked on the Internet?

If you are on your own SOHO quest, you may want to consider investing in and learning about working online. In many ways it is a quite separate and parallel economy. Almost unrelated to what is happening in the real world sector.

An alternative avocation is taking up the art of Depression Style Cooking.




18. SpiderWeb Will Rock the Web
Whoa Baby! This blog is getting whiskers. Anyone that has followed my path will know that I now have been heavy into educating myself about Internet marketing. Thus, the reason for no posts.

But I have been busy investigating. One of the schemes is a beta program known as The SpideWeb Marketing System. If you have seen it in passing, but did not consider it...keep looking. This had the potential to be the next big monetizing scheme for the web.


Many have tried to create a self-sustained or auto-pilot system. This supposedly started out with 12 streams of income, but now has 22. I have a gut feeling you have to work it like any other business.

It still is in beta, so don't hope for much. I had numerous conversation with the owners and management team of this system about creating an inner circle training program. Alas, everyone wants something for nothing. You can generate free leads, but then you have to know what to do with them.

Check out my blog on the subject, too, at "The SpiderWeb System Information and Reviews".


19. How to Produce 365 Videos in One Year
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you have been involved in the blogosphere for long, you know that many bloggers are gravitating towards video aka Video blogs, Vlogs, Vidcasts, or a Video Podcast.

This is a heads up on Mark Wielgus at 45n5.com. Mark is on top of online trends, and I am here to tell you that he researches, tests, and reports on things you will come to appreciate on a daily basis. All the information in this post was gleaned from 45n5. My belief is that Mark combines some marketing savvy with geekdom knowhow. He even writes simple, but useful utility programs and then gives them away for free on the blog. Here is a recent link to one he dubs "Keyword Scrubber".

45n5.com has turned into one of the few blogs I simply must check out on a daily basis. Now Mark is committed to deciphering Affiliate Marketing as a top priority. Another project he is combining with this effort is his personal mission to produce and post a video every day in 2008.

I think with 365 videos in the planning, his little experiment is one to watch for trends, plus the techniques, tips and tricks he is bound to uncover along the way. So, if you want to make 365 videos in one year, watch this guy in 2008 and I think you will learn something.



20. Prioritize Your Blogging for 2008
(Archived in: Social Media Marketing Social Media Optimization)

Welcome to the New Year! I have been spending the last week planning for 2008, which has included changes to my blogging style. If you follow my blogs, you know that I have decided to concentrate on Digital Nomads and The Rugged Notebooks Blog as my main focus for blogging, and with less frequent posting to this blog and The Sovereign Journey.

This is not for a lack or loss of interest, but merely a necessity of time management. Regardless, my blog niche revolves around the central theme of mobility and using technology to be independent. So, you can always check back here and/or catch my more frequent updates at the Rugged Notebooks or Digital Nomads sites. My plan this year is to move to private domains.

One thing I have been doing is writing more focused posts...themed, if you will, or a series of posts on a subject of interest. Recently, this has had a major slant towards telecom, and in particular new gadgets like MagicJack and VoIP telephoney solutions like Google GrandCentral.

I am finding that being more focused on a particular subject area makes it easier and more interesting to research, test, review, and write. I think my readers appreciate it a well and it is helping in the SERPS.

If you are still blogging, drop me a line and let me know how you are getting on. There seems to have been a drop in the number of friends I met online in 2007 that have continued to blog, or scaled back like I have. -Digital Nomad


21. Twelve Step Program for Email Addicts
(Archived in: Online Usability Reviews)

I saw this over at the BigString 2.0 website and thought it was good advice. BigString is an interesting concept in itself, which I will let you discover for yourself. These 12 items have been edited somewhat, so not to get dinged for duplicate content. There were some typos in the original text anyway. Enjoy.

1. Do not send email when you are angry. Wait until you calm down before you send that email. Feelings and thoughts can be difficult to interpret and easily misconstrued.

2. Never send a sarcastic email that could be taken out of context. Sarcasm and email do not mix. You can easily offend someone in an email without intent to do so.

3. Do not send email gossip. You never know where the email will end up. Just make a commitment to yourself not to participate in any gossip.

4. Never end significant relationships via email. Email is the equivalent of an electronic paper trail. Not good for any sour ending, whether business or personal.

5. If you don't want your boss or coworkers to see it, better not send that email from work.

6. Never put anything in writing that may come back to haunt you. A good overall policy. Not just for email.

7. Never, ever, hit ‘Reply to All’ when you just want to send an email to one individual.

8. Don’t email pictures of yourself to others. Especially, online acquaintances and complete strangers.

9. Don’t make promises or commitments via email that you cannot or will not keep.

10. When you send attachments, be sure that you have selected the correct files and documents.

11. Good advice from New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, “Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email.â€

12. Try BigString recallable email. If you do happen to make errors...the recallable, erasable, and non-forwardable features will help to correct such mistakes.



22. How to Build 10-Minute Affiliate Website Mashups
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you are searching for ways to be innovative with your online marketing, then here is another plug for many of the ideas featured at 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. No, this is not a paid post.

This is the good stuff, it's an addendum to the post on "30 Websites in 30 Days", and Mark calls this his YouTube-Ebay-Amazon Affiliate Website Mashup Thingy.



I have had a few email exchanges with Mark, and these are a few of his cautionary thoughts by way of how he has explained the ideas behind how it should work. Most people will not succeed with this mashup concept, or any other website scripting without the underlying concept and knowledge (or experience from learning) of how to build such a niche site.

Cranking out "out of the box" and rubber stamp solutions is what everybody else is doing. Doing the same thing that everyone else is doing online will bring the same results...which happens to be not making any money online. This also happens to mirror Einstein's theory of insanity, and he was no dummy. It's also making many people wealthy for some pretty worthless online information products.

So, if you use the script out of the box, most of your money will be made from luck or successful keyword research (aka) what words and topics you use to build these niche minisites in mass production.

Now is the time to learn. Take the time to consider doing it right. - Digital Nomad

(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

A 25 Year Old Entrepreneur Making a Living Online from Home


You probably have read about or heard of The Rich Jerk and Chis X of Day Job Killer. If not you better stop and do a Google search right now. About 2 years ago, Holly Mann, a young mother started to successfully market directly against high profile Internet marketing gurus like these guys.

Living in a foreign country with no job and few resources, Holly decided she could research, design, and deliver a kinder and gentler approach to online marketing. Evidently she found her niche selling "How-To" information, because she has become successful in a short period of time (well, a couple of years).

"Honest Riches 2" is a 95 page proven guide. Holly shows all the techniques she has used to make money online through affiliate programs starting with no website and no start-up money, then on to free websites that can easily be setup with little or no experience, including free advertising that most people don't know or think about.

Yes, it seems possible to make money online and work from home just about anywhere (Holly lives in Thailand), but don't quit your day job just yet. You need a system and you need the right tools and knowledge to be successful. Changing your career is a life altering decision.

Before taking the leap, do plenty of due diligence and adequate research for information and resources about starting an online business and becoming an online entrepreneur. This e-book is geared for beginners, but is a valuable resource for all online marketers. No "get-rich-quick" schemes here....like any real business endeavor, it involves some effort and some work. But you will learn strategies and techniques to start making money right away.

24. John Chow Calls It Quits on Agloco
(Archive in: Weblogs and Business)

After many attempts at beating a dead horse, everyone involved in the Agloco fiasco can now uncross their fingers. It ain't gonna happen. Even John Chow has finally admitted defeat along with almost 30,000 signed up in his Agloco network.


Here is a partial screenshot of his last post on the subject, and here is a link to the post about the Agloco demise at TechCruch. Like John says...it shows that all those MBAs don't always muster up success, even the second time around. For posterity, watch the video on the Agloco viewbar attributes, and think about all the gurus that were on board for this.



25. How to Build 30 Websites in 30 Days
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Online Usability)

It may sound implausible, but it is not impossible. Follow this Digital Nomad and you know that just feeding the blogs is not going to cut it anymore. Blogging should be part of your online marketing network, but not a diversion.

I have been searching heavy for the folks that are making it online and not the wannabes. One such source is 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. This guy tells it straight. You have to hunt an peck to find the good stuff, and you will have to piece it together, but I think a good start is on this website.

Mark will show you how to find a niche, create a website in 10 minutes, and then shove it in the pipeline with some SEO tricks. Theoretically, there is no reason why you could not do this everyday for a month and then have 30 minisites up and running for affiliate programs in thirty days. That's if you want to have a website between you and the merchant.



I am finding that you maybe don't even need a website to market affiliate programs, but you do have to commit to spending some money for Google Adword campaigns. Better have a pad and pen ready.

There is always something to learn. Take the time to learn something new each day. - Digital Nomad


American Jobs: Going, Going...
Jane Birnbaum
2005
Reprinted from: AFLCIO.org

Corporations are escalating efforts to ship out jobs that pay well and build the middle class—and now they are aiming their axes at workers in the nation’s fast-growing white-collar sector.

The U.S. recession that began in March 2001 officially ended in November 2001, say the National Bureau of Economic Research and other analysts.

So why are so many workers still out of jobs?

“We’ve declared victory over the recession, and we’re still laying off a couple hundred thousand workers a month,” says Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.). “If it weren’t so painful for so many people who are out of work, it would be hilarious. But it isn’t.”

The U.S. economy has 3.2 million fewer jobs today than it did when President George W. Bush took office, including 2.5 million fewer manufacturing jobs. Bush appears headed for the dubious distinction of being the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a decline in total employment during his term in office.

In the past three years, nearly one in five U.S. workers was laid off from the job, according to The Disposable Worker: Living in a Job-Loss Economy, a Rutgers University¡V University of Connecticut report released in late July. Among workers laid off from full-time work, roughly one-fourth were earning less than $40,000 annually, the report finds.

In July, a total of 15 million U.S. workers were either unemployed, underemployed or too discouraged to job hunt, according to the Labor Department.

In contrast, within a year after the official end of the last recession in March 1991, the nation had embarked on six straight months of solid job growth.

This time, say economists, there are crucial differences: Companies are sending well-paying manufacturing and service jobs to countries with few, if any, protections for workers and the environment. And these jobs are probably not coming back.

“The movement of jobs and production overseas is handcuffing the recovery,” according to Mark Xandi, chief economist at Economy.com, as quoted in the New York Times.

“With NAFTA, the World Trade Organization and other trade deals of the last decade, American corporations are now tapping into a global supply of workers who can be trained to do everything from design to production, maintenance to marketing,” says Jeff Faux, economist and founding president of the Economic Policy Institute. “And while these workers become more productive, their pay doesn’t rise, because in many of these countries, to be a labor organizer means you risk winding up in a ditch with a bullet in your head.”

American jobs sent out of the country aren’t likely to return anytime soon. “As long as employers can take advantage of much lower labor costs in other countries, there’s no compelling reason to bring back many of these well-paying jobs,” says Ron Hira, an engineer and assistant professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. “Policymakers seem to be at a loss as to what to do about this problem.”

Meanwhile, the Bush administration directs multimillion-dollar tax cuts to the wealthy while supporting trade laws that encourage offshore outsourcing. And even as Bush opposes unemployment insurance extensions for some 1 million Americans who have exhausted their benefits, his administration refuses to embrace job-creating programs that would repair the nation’s infrastructure and help balance devastated state budgets.

“The Bush administration doesn’t seem to care about jobs,” says Center for Economic and Policy Research co-founder Dean Baker. “To retain and create jobs, there have to be policy changes, and I don’t think this administration is willing to make them.”

Manufacturing: America’s Foundation Is Crumbling
Photo Credit: Bill Burke/Page One
“American taxpayers...do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs.”
—USWA President Leo Gerard

Manufacturing jobs traditionally have provided high wages and good benefits that allow workers to care for their families. But 2.5 million manufacturing jobs have disappeared since President Bush took office in early 2001.

Multinational corporations are transferring jobs to countries where workers earn low wages and have few or no protections. And small U.S. businesses are laying off workers or shutting their doors because they can’t meet foreign competitors’ prices.

African American workers have been hit particularly hard. Because of manufacturing job losses, the unemployment rate among African Americans is rising twice as fast as it is for whites and faster than in any downturn since the mid-1970s. “The number of jobs and the types of jobs that have been lost has severely diminished the standing of many blacks in the middle class,” says William Lucy, president of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and AFSCME secretary-treasurer.

Manufacturing job loss starts the downward spiral

The loss of good manufacturing jobs has ripped apart communities and permanently lowered living standards for families throughout the United States, including in Rockford, Ill., 70 miles from Chicago. The northern Illinois city is historically second only to Cleveland as a center for machine tooling, the making of tools used in machine manufacturing.

Machine tooling, which traditionally employs the most highly skilled manufacturing workers including members of the Machinists and UAW, is the bedrock of America’s manufacturing industry.

But the bedrock is crumbling. The Rockford area lost more than 20 percent of its manufacturing jobs—about 10,000—between May 2000 and 2003, according to MBG Information Services President and Economist Charles McMillion’s analysis of Department of Labor data.
General manufacturing jobs have been among those lost in Rockford, including jobs held by Steelworkers Local 745 members at the Goodyear tire plant. USWA members at Goodyear now number 750, down from 1,650 in 1999, before the corporation shipped the jobs to Asia and South America.

But most manufacturing jobs lost in Rockford have been in machine tooling. At Greenlee/Textron, which makes drill bits and tools for electrical contractors, about 180 Machinists now represented by IAM Local 1553 are employed today, down from about 900 in the late 1980s. The 112-year-old crown jewel of Rockford machine tooling—Ingersoll International—declared bankruptcy this spring and laid off 300 employees in Rockford and 70 in Michigan, leaving only skeleton crews of managers and a few contract workers.

“The lesson of Rockford,” says Faux, “is it disproves the free traders’ argument that America could afford to lose manufacturing jobs in areas like textiles and steel because we would ultimately triumph in global competition by making the things hardest to make. In fact, those things are machine tools—and we’re losing them.”

A loss of manufacturing jobs reverberates throughout the community—and ultimately the nation. When manufacturing factories aren’t being built, maintained or expanded, jobs disappear in areas such as construction.

“Our union has about 30 percent unemployment,” says Mark Bramble, business agent for Electrical Workers Local 364 in Rockford. “Guys burn through their unemployment, lose all their benefits, get divorced and then go where the grass looks greener or settle for working as a greeter at Wal-Mart.”

A question of national security

There’s a sense of betrayal in Rockford these days. “Free trade was sold to America with the line that it helps us export more goods,” says Eric Anderberg, who manages his family’s 37-year-old machine tool company, Dial Machines Inc. “But what’s happened is the exportation of our jobs and means of production so multinational corporations can exploit foreign labor and sell their goods back to us.”

Today Dial employs 40 workers, down from 75 in the late 1990s. It recently lost work to a lower-bidding Czech Republic manufacturer that nabbed a contract making parts for a supplier of General Electric Wind Energy Corp.

Anderberg and other Rockford employers worry that a Chinese government-owned machine tooling company, which already has bought two divisions of Ingersoll International, may now be poised to buy another—one containing intellectual property, including high-level research and design and military technology. “I cannot understand how our government can justify not only the debasement of our manufacturing industries but also our national security in a time of war,” he says.

The Rockford community and U.S. national security would get a boost from Buy America provisions House Armed Services Committee Chair Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) added to legislation authorizing the 2004 Pentagon budget.

Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), who represents the Rockford area and helped write the bill, says, “The Pentagon wouldn’t care if everything it buys is made in China.” Joined by armsmakers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the White House says the Buy America provisions are “burdensome, counterproductive and have the potential to degrade U.S. military capabilities.” But the administration does not mention jobs.

“American steelworkers are also American taxpayers, and they do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs,” says USWA President Leo Gerard.

White-Collar Jobs: America’s Growing Export

Ask anyone which sector of the U.S. economy comes to mind as the most likely to be shipped overseas, and chances are he or she will say manufacturing.

But though the United States lost 2.5 million manufacturing jobs since the Bush presidency beginning in 2001, U.S. corporations now are racing to outsource white-collar jobs—including work in computer sciences, engineering, entertainment, financial and medical services—to countries where workers earn far less.

Terry Antisdel was a Chicago-area engineering associate for Lucent Technologies Inc. and its predecessor AT&T for 35 years until his entire 42-member International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 81 was laid off in July. He figures his job will end up in India or China. “The words management used were a 'less-expensive offshore site,’ ” recalls Antisdel, who estimates Lucent will send a total of about 5,000 U.S. jobs offshore this year. “I feel let down,” he says. “Companies used to provide jobs for people, but now they’re just there to give money to executives, board members and shareholders.”

In late July, the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (WashTech), a Communications Workers of America affiliated group that helps high-tech workers win a voice at work, released a tape of a conference call in which IBM’s top human relations executives discussed transferring 3 million U.S. service jobs to countries such as China and India by 2015.

Testifying in June before a House Committee on Small Business investigating the globalization of white-collar jobs, AFL-CIO Department for Professional Employees President Paul Almeida said, “If these cost-saving jobs shifts are taken to their logical extreme, even American corporations should be wondering where their future consumers will be located and how they will buy the goods and services.”

A Forrester Research study predicts U.S. employers will move about 3.3 million white-collar service jobs and $136 billion in wages overseas in the next 15 years, up from $4 billion in 2000.

White-collar jobs going and gone

The jobs already are leaving. By the end of this year, General Electric will have sent a total of 20,000 aircraft and medical research and design jobs to India and China, according to Business Week. And the Accenture consulting firm, which incorporated in Bermuda after splitting from Enron accountant Arthur Andersen, plans to send 5,000 accounting and software jobs to the Philippines in 2004, the magazine says.

According to WashTech, Microsoft plans to eliminate at least 800 full-time call-center jobs near Dallas and shift the work to India and Canada in the next fiscal year. It would be the largest one-time firing of full-time Microsoft employees in the company’s history. WashTech says a Microsoft senior vice president recently urged company managers to “pick something to move offshore today,” though Microsoft publicly has repeated it will not lay off U.S. workers and send the jobs offshore.

While the Bush administration remains silent about offshore outsourcing, states such as New Jersey are considering corrective measures. New Jersey legislators acted after the state outsourced the electronic administration of welfare and food stamp benefits to a company that then sent the jobs to India. When New Jersey citizens called to ask about benefits, they were connected with Indian workers who gave Americanized names.

A bill authored by state Assembly member Linda Greenstein (D) would have required such offshore subcontractors to disclose to New Jersey residents their employers’ true names and locations. But even this common- sense measure had no chance in the face
of massive opposition launched by Indian and American corporate interests, such as Verizon.

“We got a copy of an e-mail Verizon sent managers in New Jersey, thanking them for sending 1,800 e-mails opposing the bill,” says Don Rice, CWA’s New Jersey legislative coordinator. Activists and legislators hope to bring the bill to a vote before the legislative session ends this year.

U.S. security at stake

Offshore outsourcing of white-collar work also raises security concerns. U.S. firms are sending mapping and other such work to India, Pakistan, China, the Philippines and other countries with lower labor costs, says John Palatiello, administrator of the Council on Federal Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services.

“This practice raises issues regarding access to data about the location of¡Kcritical infrastructure by individuals in foreign countries who have not been through any degree of security clearance and where control of access to data simply does not exist.”

Bush’s January 2002 State of the Union address made clear the danger of access to data by unfriendly foreign operatives: “Our discoveries in Afghanistan confirmed our worst fears....We have found diagrams of American nuclear power plants and public water facilities¡Ksurveillance maps of American cities and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America.”

Activists are demanding Congress review trade and tax policies that encourage white-collar offshore outsourcing. Without government intervention, warns Almeida, “short-sighted corporate policy focused on saving a few bucks in the short run will have an enormous deleterious impact on the entire U.S. economy.”

Low-Wage Jobs: Betray America’s Workers

Photo Credit: Ernie Englander/The New Press

Laid-off U.S. workers thrust into a hostile job market are discovering another ugly part of the American economy: low-wage work that pays too little to keep even a small family out of poverty.

Nearly a quarter of all U.S. workers labor in jobs that pay little but are essential to society. Sixty percent of these workers are female, and many are people of color. They care for nursing home patients and clean offices at night. They prepare food, answer call-center phones and care for our children.

These jobs generally pay less than the $8.85 hourly wage the U.S. government says it takes to keep a family of four out of poverty. Even so, many low-wage jobs offer only part-time hours, with few or no benefits. And workers in low-paying but essential jobs often are treated as disposable, quickly fired if they get sick or stay home with a sick child.

As more good jobs leave the country, the percentage of low-wage jobs keeps growing. By 2010, about 30 percent of working Americans won’t be making even poverty wages, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A Labor Department list of the 10 occupations likely to show the largest job growth this decade is dominated by jobs that typically pay poorly—food preparation, customer service, office clerking, security and food service.

This world of low-wage jobs and the workers who do them is illuminated in The Betrayal of Work: How Low-Wage Jobs Fail 35 Million Americans, published on Labor Day by the New Press. “Traditionally, there was a promise in this country that if you worked hard, you could take care of your family,” explains author Beth Shulman, an attorney and former United Food and Commercial Workers vice president. “That promise has been broken¡Kand we have built our national prosperity on their backs.”

No job is inherently low wage

Workers in low-wage jobs frequently are labeled as lacking skills and in need of training to move into better-paying positions. But while education is a traditional route to higher pay, Shulman contends no job is inherently low wage.
“Take autoworkers, who had horrible jobs that became good ones because of unions and social legislation,” she says. “The same thing must happen with currently low-paying service- sector jobs. In Las Vegas, for example, the housekeeper represented by the Hotel Employees Restaurant Employees has decent wages and benefits thanks to unionization.”

Low-wage jobs tend to imprison the workers who perform them because of what Shulman calls a “piling on” of hardships. Workers in low-wage jobs are unlikely to have sick leave or health insurance or make enough money to afford reliable transportation or child day care. At the same time, they are likely to be in inflexible situations in which being late or missing work can result in a quick firing.

“It’s not just that you make less money in these jobs, but you have none of the basic things many of us take for granted, such as health insurance, time to care for a family member, adequate child care, some kind of retirement security, even a telephone,” Shulman says. “And this applies to one in four U.S. workers.”

Gap is growing between U.S. rich and poor

As low-wage work continues to replace jobs that pay well, the U.S. economy increasingly resembles that of a less-developed nation, with a wide gulf between rich and poor. Among all western industrialized nations, the United States has the greatest income and wage inequalities, with the best-paid 10 percent of workers making 16.6 times the amount made by the lowest-paid 10 percent, according to a 2003 analysis by the United Nations Development Program. “That’s the way we’ve been moving for some time now and continue to move,” says Heather Boushey, a Center for Economic and Policy Research economist.

To reverse this trend, the United States needs to change the rules of the game, according to Shulman. “For starters, we should immediately raise the minimum hourly wage to the poverty guideline for a family of four—$8.85 an hour versus the current $5.15 hourly federal minimum wage—and then have automatic increases so there’s not a big political battle every time it needs raising. Then, all Americans should have access to affordable health care. There are a variety of ways to do this, and we should just get it done.

“Finally, all American workers should be able to care for their children—to have access to affordable child care, and to stay with them when they’re sick or go to a PTA meeting without getting fired. The consequences for the children of today’s low-wage workers are enormous—they’re following their parents into this low-wage world.”


Companies in India celebrate
"loss of American jobs"
Mike Crane
December 2004
Reprinted from: Southern Party of Georgia website

In our previous article we reported how various companies in India were employed by the Republican National Committee and the Bush Re-election campaign (see: India claims big election victory and laughs at Americans).

One interesting comment that was documented in that article was:

As Vivek Paul, Wipro VC, said after the Presidential poll, “The elections are over and so is the rhetoric; it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans.”

Well a little research has found some estimates from within India about what that meant. First and foremost, it means that India is celebrating the "loss of American jobs." Folks, that is the jobs of friends, family or perhaps even your own.

Specifically on November 4, with time zone changes, roughly a day after the polls close the following was published in the India Times:

The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

And that is why they believe that "it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans." Does this mean that American companies put their plans on "hold" to minimize the impact on a close election?

But the folks in India gloat a little more:

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

A brief look at these numbers show what they call a documented American job loss of 48,237 for the first quarter of 2004. On an annual basis this would be 192,968 American jobs. And they expect American companies to now - step out - with their outsourcing plans.

Some will say that 192,968 jobs is not very many. But as you will see in coming articles that is just what is called BPO and is not the whole picture.

Lets look at the effect of three policies that affect American jobs:

  1. Outsourcing - In this article it has been shown that it is at least close to 200,00 jobs a year for the BPO segment and expected to increase
  2. H1-B visa program - allows high tech foreigners to take American jobs here without being counted in immigration totals. Used by many companies to train personnel for their foreign outsourcing programs. There are roughly a million H1-B visas active today.
  3. Legal immigration of about 1 million a year and illegal immigration of about 3 million a year resulting in lower American wages and increased social costs.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are paying the salaries of the elected and appointed officials who are doing this to you. Is this what you want to pay for? If so, why are you reading material on this web site?

If not, you are being ignored!

It should be obvious to all that this trend can not continue forever. Are there any signs that it is getting better:

A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

That should answer that question beyond a reasonable doubt. Interesting that 15% of the outsourcing chief executives favor Red China! Remember these are the folks that make the big campaign contributions that have so much influence on many of your elected officials. How will you feel when YOUR job is sent to Red China?

If you do not agree with these policies you are being ignored and your elected officials are representing special interests more than you! If you believe that this is a serious problem it is time to get involved now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be stop these destructive trends.

The BPO and your elected officials are doing offshore calculus, are you?

BPO biggies do offshore calculus
TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2004 02:13:09 PM]

India’s silicon valley is delighted to move out of the limelight. The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

BPO bigwigs are already computing the gains from mega-offshoring plans on hold waiting for US presidential race to be over.

Though most of the industry majors refuse to comment on who will safeguard their interests better, they feel that economic benefits of transfer of jobs to low cost destinations will now overshadow the political rhetoric against outsourcing in the run up to the US poll.

The US presidential election was fueling the protests against job losses due to transfer of jobs.

“American law will remain the same and the outsourcing will go up irrespective of who wins. Already, we see our clients getting ready for bigger offshoring plans,’’ says head of a leading Delhi-based BPO firm. Insiders also feel the American clients might be more open to talk about their outsourcing plans to low-cost destinations like India now.

Though Kerry’s tax proposals that seek to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas could deter fence-sitter, analysts feel they are no more than short-term sentiment dampeners. After initially branding the shipping of jobs to countries like India and China as a threat to the US economy, Kerry has gone on record saying he can’t stop outsourcing.

Clearly, what is of greater concern is that a clear decision comes soon, irrespective of whether it favours Bush or Kerry. Though Bush is more popular, the $ 2.6 billion BPO industry is convinced that “it will soon be difficult to differentiate between Democrats and Republicans.

Obviously sector’s fate is closely tied up with the US elections, with US accounting for over 70 % of India’s IT exports. A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

 


Costly Trade With China
Millions of U.S. jobs displaced
Robert E. Scott
October 9, 2007
Reprinted from: Economic Policy Institute

Contrary to the predictions of its supporters, China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed to reduce its trade surplus with the United States or increase overall U.S. employment. The rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 1997 and 2006 has displaced production that could have supported 2,166,000 U.S. jobs. Most of these jobs (1.8 million) have been lost since China entered the WTO in 2001. Between 1997 and 2001, growing trade deficits displaced an average of 101,000 jobs per year, or slightly more than the total employment in Manchester, New Hampshire. Since China entered the WTO in 2001, job losses increased to an average of 353,000 per year—more than the total employment in greater Akron, Ohio. Between 2001 and 2006, jobs were displaced in every state and the District of Columbia. Nearly three-quarters of the jobs displaced were in manufacturing industries. Simply put, the promised benefits of trade liberalization with China have been unfulfilled.

As a matter of policy, China tightly pegs its currency's value to that of the dollar at a rate that encourages a large bilateral surplus with the United States. Maintaining this peg required the purchase of about $200 billion in U.S. Treasury Bills and other securities in 2006 alone.1 This intervention makes the yuan artificially cheap and provides an effective subsidy on Chinese exports; best estimates are that the rate of this effective subsidy is roughly 40%. China also engages in extensive suppression of labor rights; it has been estimated that wages in China would be 47% to 85% higher in the absence of labor repression. China has also been accused of massive direct subsidization of export production. Finally, it maintains strict, non-tariff barriers to imports. As a result, China's exports to the United States of $288 billion in 2006 were six times greater than U.S. exports to China, which were only $52 billion (Table 1). China's trade surplus was responsible for 42.6% of the United States' total, non-oil trade deficit. This is by far the United States' most imbalanced trading relationship. Unless and until China revalues (raises) the yuan and eliminates these other trade distortions, the U.S. trade deficit and job losses will continue to grow rapidly in the future.

Major findings of this study:

  • The 1.8 million jobs opportunities lost nationwide since 2001 are distributed among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with the biggest losers, in numeric terms: California (-269,300), Texas (-136,900), New York (-105,900), Illinois (-79,900), Pennsylvania (-78,200), North Carolina (-77,200), Florida (-71,900), Ohio (-66,100), Georgia (-60,400), and Massachusetts (-59,300) (Table 2A).

  • The 10 hardest-hit states, as a share of total state employment, are: New Hampshire (-13,000, -2.1%), North Carolina (-77,200, -2.0%), California (-269,300, -1.8%), Massachusetts (-59,300, -1.8%), Rhode Island (-8,400, -1.8%), South Carolina (-29,200, -1.6%), Vermont (-4,900, -1.6%), Oregon (-25,700, -1.6%), Indiana (-45,200, -1.5%), and Georgia (-60,400, -1.5%) (Table 2B).

China's entry into the WTO was supposed to bring it into compliance with an enforceable, rules-based regime, which would require that it open its markets to imports from the United States and other nations. The United States also negotiated a series of special safeguard measures designed to limit the disruptive effects of surging Chinese imports on domestic producers. However, the core of the agreement failed to include any protections to maintain or improve labor or environmental standards. As a result, China's entry into the WTO has further tilted the international economic playing field against domestic workers and firms, and in favor of multinational companies (MNCs) from the United States and other countries, and state- and privately-owned exporters in China. This has increased the global "race to the bottom" in wages and environmental quality and caused the closing of thousands of U.S. factories, decimating employment in a wide range of communities, states, and entire regions of the United States.

False promises

Proponents of China's entry into the WTO frequently claimed that it would create jobs in the United States, increase U.S. exports, and improve the trade deficit with China. President Clinton claimed that the agreement allowing China into the WTO, which was negotiated during his administration, "creates a win-win result for both countries" (Clinton 2000, 9). He argued that exports to China "now support hundreds of thousands of American jobs" and that "these figures can grow substantially with the new access to the Chinese market the WTO agreement creates" (Clinton 2000, 10). Others in the White House, such as Kenneth Liberthal, the special advisor to the president and senior director for Asia affairs at the National Security Council, echoed Clinton's assessment:

Let's be clear as to why a trade deficit might decrease in the short term. China exports far more to the U.S. than it imports [from] the U.S….It will not grow as much as it would have grown without this agreement and over time clearly it will shrink with this agreement.2

Promises about jobs and exports misrepresented the real effects of trade on the U.S. economy: trade both creates and destroys jobs. Increases in U.S. exports tend to create jobs in the United States, but increases in imports tend to destroy jobs as imports displace goods that otherwise would have been made in the United States by domestic workers.

The impact of changes in trade on employment is estimated here by calculating the labor content of changes in the trade balance—the difference between exports and imports. Each $1 billion in computer exports to China from the United States supports American jobs. However, each $1 billion in computer imports from China displaces those American workers, who would have been employed making them in the United States. On balance, the net employment effect of trade flows depends on the growth in the trade deficit; not just exports. Another critically important promise made by the promoters of liberalized U.S.-China trade was that the United States would benefit because of increased exports to a large and growing consumer market in China. This market, in turn, was to be based on an expansion of the middle class that, it was claimed, would grow rapidly due to the wealth created in China by its entry into the WTO. However, the increase in U.S. exports to China has been overwhelmed by the growth of U.S. imports, as shown below.

Growing trade deficits and job losses

The U.S. trade deficit with China has increased from $50 billion in 1997 to $235 billion in 2006, an increase of $185 billion, as shown in Table 1. Between 1997 and 2001, prior to China's entry into the WTO, the deficit increased $9 billion per year on average. Between 2001 and 2006, after China entered the WTO, the deficit increased $30 billion per year on average.

While it is true that exports support jobs in the United States, it is equally true that imports displace them. The net effect of trade flows on employment must look at the trade balance. The employment impacts of growing trade deficits are estimated in this paper using an input-output model that estimates the direct and indirect labor requirements of producing output in a given domestic industry. The model includes 200 U.S. industries, 86 of which are in the manufacturing sector (see this paper's methodology appendix for further details).3

The model estimates the labor that would be required to produce a given volume of exports, and the labor that is displaced when a given volume of imports is substituted for domestic output.4 The job losses presented here represent an estimate of what sectoral employment levels would have been in the absence of growing trade deficits.5

U.S. exports to China in 1997 supported 138,000 jobs, but U.S. imports displaced production that would have supported 736,000 jobs, as shown in the bottom half of Table 1. Therefore, the $49 billion trade deficit in 1997 displaced 736,300 jobs in that year. Job displacement rose to 1,000,000 jobs in 2001 and 2,763,000 in 2006. Prior to China's entry into the WTO, an average of 101,000 jobs per year were displaced by growing trade deficits between 1997 and 2001. After 2001, an average of 353,000 jobs per year were lost.

Growth in trade deficits with China has reduced demand for goods produced in every region of the United States and has led to job displacement in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as shown in Table 2A and Figure A.6 More than 100,000 jobs were lost in California, Texas, and New York each. Jobs displaced due to growing deficits with China equaled or exceeded 2.0% of total employment in states such as North Carolina and New Hampshire, as shown in Table 2B. An alphabetical list of job losses by state is shown in Table 2C.

Figure A

Table 2c

Growing trade deficits with China have clearly reduced domestic employment in traded goods industries, especially in the manufacturing sector, which has been hard hit by plant closings and job losses. Workers displaced by trade from the manufacturing sector have been shown to have particular difficulty in securing comparable employment elsewhere in the economy. More than one-third of workers displaced from manufacturing drop out of the labor force (Kletzer 2001, 101, Table D2). Average wages of those who secured re-employment fell 11% to 13%. Trade-related job displacement pushes many workers out of good jobs in manufacturing and other trade-related industries, often into lower-paying industries and frequently out of the labor market.

Some economists have quibbled with job-loss numbers extrapolated from trade flows, based on the presumption that aggregate employment levels in the United States are set by a broad range of macroeconomic influences, not just by trade flows. There is a grain of truth to this—the trade balance is but one of many variables affecting aggregate job creation in the United States.

That said, the employment impacts of trade identified in this paper can be interpreted as the "all else equal" effect of trade on domestic employment. The Federal Reserve, for example, may decide to cut interest rates to make up for job loss stemming from deteriorating trade balances (or any other economic influence), leaving net employment unchanged. This, however, does not change the fact that trade deficits by themselves are a net drain on employment.

Administration officials and other economists have argued that the capital inflow that is the mirror-image of trade deficits supports jobs in the United States by keeping interest rates lower than they would be absent this inflow. During the late 1990s, for example, these capital inflows fought rising trade deficits to a draw in terms of aggregate employment effects, and, through much of the 2000s recovery, interest-sensitive industries (housing and construction, for example) have surely expanded more than they would have absent foreign capital inflows. While these claims may be correct from a simple accounting standpoint, they do not support assertions that trade flows are a useless indicator of job loss.

First, and most simply, it is just not true that foreign capital inflows always make up trade-induced employment losses one-for-one. In the 2001 recession and the jobless recovery following, growing trade deficits accompanied aggregate job loss, even as interest rates scraped historical bottoms. Clearly, low interest rates do not always translate into enough growth in investment and consumption in interest-sensitive sectors to always sterilize the impact of growing trade deficits.

Second, the job-loss numbers identified in this report are a good measure of just how unbalanced the U.S. economy has become due to rising trade deficits. Tradable goods industries have hemorrhaged jobs, while interest-sensitive, often non-tradable, industries have seen rapid growth. At that point in the future when trade deficits begin to close (and this will happen—it is only a question of when and how), the U.S. economy will need to return many of the jobs displaced by rising trade deficits out of non-tradable and into tradable industries. Moving millions of workers back and forth between sectors is no mean trick, and accomplishing it without a recession in between will be hard; trying to do it after another couple of years of deficit growth—and an even more lopsided U.S. economy—will be even harder.

In short, while aggregate employment in the United States may well not respond job-for-job with the numbers reported in this paper on trade deficits with China, these numbers provide insight into how much harder other macroeconomic influences have to work to eliminate the employment drag from these deficits, and they provide a good (and ominous) measure of how lopsided employment growth in the U.S. economy has become owing to the unbalanced U.S.-China trade relationship.

Conclusion

The growing U.S. trade deficit with China has displaced huge numbers of jobs in the United States, and been a prime contributor to the crisis in manufacturing employment over the past six years. The current U.S.-China trade relationship is bad for both countries. The United States is piling up foreign debt, losing export capacity, and facing a more fragile macroeconomic environment. Meanwhile, China has become dependent on the U.S. consumer market for employment generation, has suppressed the purchasing power of its own middle class with a weak currency, and, most importantly, has held hundreds of billions of hard-currency reserves in low-yielding, risky assets, instead of investing them in public goods that could benefit Chinese households. Its repression of labor rights has suppressed wages, thus subsidizing its exports and making them artificially cheap. This relationship needs a fundamental change: addressing the exchange rate policies and labor standards issues in the Chinese economy are important first steps.

Methodology

This analysis utilizes an input-output model to estimate the relationships between changes in trade flows and production that could support domestic employment. The analysis covers trends in goods trade, which is dominated by manufactures. Services trade is not considered because of problems with the data, and because many of the services traded involve returns to capital and intellectual property that have little or no direct effect on employment. In addition, goods trade dominates the nation's international accounts.

This study uses the model developed in Rothstein and Scott (1997a and 1997b). This approach solves four problems that are prevalent in previous research on the employment effects of trade. Some studies look only at the effects of exports and ignore imports. Some studies include re-exports (transshipments)—goods produced outside the United States and shipped through this country to other nations—as U.S. exports. The trade data used in many studies is usually not adjusted for inflation. Finally, a single employment multiplier is often applied to all industries, despite differences in labor productivity and utilization.7

The model used here is based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment requirements tables, which were derived from the U.S. input-output tables that are published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. These tables are adjusted to 2000 price and productivity levels (BLS 2007b), in real, chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A base year with 2000 employment requirements was used to estimate the employment content of trade in all years covered in this study. This assumption was needed to control for the effects of technology. This technique isolates the effects of trade on employment from pure technology effects. This model is used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in goods trade flows in each of 200 industries. This study updates the 1987 input employment requirements table used in earlier reports in this series (Rothstein and Scott 1997a, 1997b).

This analysis requires four-digit, trade data based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (U.S. International Trade Commission 2007), deflated with industry-specific, chain-weighted price indices (BLS 2007a), which were updated using industry-specific producer price indexes (BLS 2007b).8 Trade data were downloaded from the U.S. International Trade Commission (2007) Web site in NAICS format. The data for 2006 are preliminary estimates; this report will be updated and expanded when the final 2006 trade data are released in June 2007. State-level employment effects are calculated by allocating imports and exports to the states on the basis of their share of four-digit, industry-level employment for 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau 2001).

The trade data were converted into chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A domestic employment requirements table for a particular base year was used to estimate the employment effects of trade in each year of the analysis, holding technology constant. The domestic employment requirement calculates the labor required to produce all of a given product within the United States. Thus, it reflects the complete labor content of output, including jobs indirectly supported in service industries. The base year of 2000 was chosen for this study because it was an approximate mid-point in the data covered in this study.

CPS data on employment by industry by was collected for each of the detailed sectors in the model. These data were used to calculate each state's share of national employment.

1. These purchases financed about one-quarter of the U.S. $857 billion current account deficit in 2006 (the broadest measure of all U.S. trade and income flows). But for these purchases, the reduced demand would have put significant downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. A substantial depreciation in the dollar would begin to improve the U.S. trade deficit within a few years.

4. For the purposes of this report, it is necessary to distinguish between exports produced domestically and re-exports—which are goods produced in other countries, imported into the United States, and then re-exported to other countries, in this case to China. Since re-exports are not produced domestically, their production does not support domestic employment and they are excluded from the model used here. See Table 1 for information about the levels of U.S. re-exports to China in this period.

7. Other studies—see California State World Trade Commission (1996), which finds 47,600 jobs created in California from increased trade with Canada alone—have allocated all employment effects to the home state of the exporting company. This is problematic, because the production—along with any attendant job effects—need not have taken place in the exporter's state. If a California dealer buys cars from Chrysler and sells them to China, these studies will find job creation in California. However, the cars are not made in California; so the employment effects should instead be attributed to Michigan and other state with high levels of auto industry production. Likewise, if the same firm buys auto parts from China, the loss of employment will occur in auto-industry states, not in California.

8. Industry-specific producer price indices are unavailable for certain industries between 2005 and 2006. In order to construct price deflators for all 200 BLS industries, we used a combination of commodity PPIs and industry PPIs. For instance, NAICS-based industry 3331 (which maps to BLS industry 72) is composed of agricultural, manufacturing, and mining machinery manufacturing. To compute a price index for this industry, a trade-weighted average of the commodity indices for agricultural machinery and construction machinery was used as a proxy for the industry PPI. Industry PPIs were used wherever available.


Outsourcing Not the Culprit in Manufacturing Job Loss
Wes Iversen
December 9th, 2003
Reprinted from:Automation World
Productivity gains spawned by factory automation are driving a worldwide decline in manufacturing jobs, even in developing nations, says researcher.

For many Americans, the word “outsourcing” conjures up images of manufacturing job decline. But the United States is far from alone in losing manufacturing employment, points out Dan Miklovic (shown above), vice president and research director at GartnerG2, the business research arm of Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. “Recent studies show that manufacturing jobs are declining everywhere,” said Miklovic, during a Nov. 17 panel discussion on outsourcing, part of a Global Media Summit sponsored by Rockwell Automation, Milwaukee.

Over the past decade, U.S. manufacturing jobs have declined by more than 11 percent, Miklovic noted. But at the same time, Japan’s manufacturing employment base has dropped by 16 percent, while the number of manufacturing jobs in countries including Brazil have declined by some 20 percent, he pointed out. “And one of the largest losers of manufacturing jobs has been China,” Miklovic added. “We like to pick on China and say that all of these jobs are going to China, but they’re losing jobs in manufacturing as well.”

The reason for the job losses? Miklovic summed it up in one word: automation. Through automation, he said, “we are really doing a good job of improving the productivity of people.”

Miklovic reminded media attendees at the panel session that 25 percent to 30 percent of the U.S. population was at one time involved in agricultural jobs. But today, only 3 percent of Americans work in agriculture, yet they have turned the United States into a net agricultural exporter, he noted. “The same thing is now happening in manufacturing,” Miklovic said. “Through automation, through improved productivity, we’re driving the number of jobs down on a global basis.”

Job loss in India

Confirmation came from another panel participant, K. Muralidharan, senior general manager for Sundram Fasteners Ltd., a major Indian automotive parts manufacturer. In India, he said, growing use of automation is holding down manufacturing job growth despite the large amount of outsourcing work that is flowing to the country. “I find that outsourcing in India has actually cost jobs in Indian industry, though in the long term, it will probably have a positive effect on employment,” Muralidharan said.

Manufacturing employment remains at about the same level in India today as it was during the recession of the late 1990s, according to Muralidharan. “The Indian economy is booming now, and it is predicted that in the next five years, the curve will only be upward. But still, the jobs and employment are not really growing at the same pace,” said Muralidharan. “The economies of scale that have been created due to outsourcing from developed countries have forced Indian industry to take on automation heavily, which was not the case about 10 years back,” he said.

GartnerG2’s Miklovic noted that the use of automation contributes to a cyclical situation in many industries. When a U.S. manufacturer develops a new product, for example, the company has first-mover advantage for a time. But in the next phase, when other manufacturers enter the market, competition often shifts to price. In response, some U.S. producers may move manufacturing offshore to developing nations, to take advantage of lower labor costs. However, said Miklovic, they frequently find that the level of automation and technology available in developing nations is less than that of the United States.

This means that U.S. manufacturers who then invest in sophisticated automation technology at home can gain the upper hand for a time over lower-priced imports, thanks to the higher quality product allowed by the automation, said Miklovic. But the automation technology used in the developing nations eventually catches up, giving products produced there the advantage, he added.

“We see this in semiconductors all the time,” Miklovic said. “Semiconductors typically have been produced in Japan and Taiwan. But now there is a booming semiconductor market that’s starting in China.” While the density and sophistication of semiconductor chips produced in China cannot yet match that of Japan and Taiwan, said Miklovic, China’s technology is moving in that direction.

“Automation only works for a period of time,” said Miklovic. The lesson for manufacturers is that they must continually reinvest in automation and innovation, he said. “If you stand still, ultimately you lose.”


Inetekk a USA company

Inetekk was built in America by Americans!

All programming done by Americans
Sure it cost us more to build the Inetekk technology by ourselves and outsourcing to US programmers and US software developers. The prospect of sending our work abroad was never a consideration. Primarily doing so we lose the security of proprietary development to another country were we have little if any legal control regardless of how cheap that option could be. Then quality and communications is another factor, but we are also sensitive to doing business within our culture because of the process of getting what we are looking for and having the ability to have laws in effect that protect our interest in getting just what we are paying for.

Customer support by Americans
We are constantly getting offers to do our work at deep discounts by these foreign nationals, primarily India, but we are not cheap price motivated. Even our support service is run by Americans in America. We may ad to our support from Australia, but that is because they can offer the needed time frame for that region, not a cost consideration, so we can offer 24/7 seamless support for our clientele. Plus we have many Australian and New Zealander subscribers using our services and we love their accents.

Collocation in San Jose, CA USA
When we first started building the Inetekk systems, we went from a shared server in Florida to needing our own servers. We could have co located our servers in a foreign company for 1/3rd the cost but we realized by doing so our proprietary technology and secured databases would be at risk. Not a good idea. So we contracted with a well know company in San Jose. This was expensive but a very good decision. As the Internet has grown, the necessity to keep your data well secured is of the utmost importance and again, keeping this service local has proved to be a very good decision.

Servers built in USA
As we started building our server farm, again quality and service were the key issue. We went to a local shop in San Diego and hired them to build them. The first server, unaware to us, was built from foreign parts and within weeks the server started having failure issues. From then on we have demanded that all parts be US made as best we could and we have never had issues since. Our farm now runs with US made servers like NetAps, Intel, etc.

IT services by Americans
As with any server farm and web systems, having good IT professional's is imperative, and again, we hired US IT database engineers and server engineers. Same reason as our security is key and far more important than cost. For example, to use foreign IT services cost around $10 per hour. US costs are around $150 per hour. In my humble opinion, you get what you pay for.

The bottom line is future forecasting. I subscribe to the belief that our customers deserve the very best. Not only in the quality of the service, or the best customer support, but also security and the dedication to keep Inetekk around for the long run delivering the very best.

It seems the the big corporations in the US have lost sight to this fact and are all heading for serious issues as they continue down this road to losing control of their companies to the quest for seeking the lowest prices regardless. Take the Mattel toy company for example. Not long ago all their toys were US built. Today, they have lost major market share because the toys the sell now coming from Red China are toxic and low quality. It is scandalous that our children are getting toys painted with lead paint.

The future is at risk.

Your job is secure if you are your boss

Q: I've been out of work for nearly five months, and the prospect of getting a job in my field (mechanical engineering) doesn't look good -- unless I want to move my family across the country. I've always wanted to have my own business, but I'm worried about the comparative lack of job security that goes with it. What's your opinion? I'm over 50 and in good health. -- Deidre N.

A: You have a lot going for you: you've always wanted to have your own business, you're over 50, and you have good health. Security? You don't have it now, and you didn't have it when you got laid off. I don't think there's anything more secure today than working for yourself. Companies will cut any costs they have to just to stay in business, and the popular trend for the past several years has been to cut staff -- fast. And consider this: when you work for someone else -- big company or small -- only a few people -- your boss and one or two more managers -- control your future security. But with your own business, if you lose a few customers, you still have others to back you up. I've always thought that having my own business gives me more security, not less, than I'd have if I worked for someone else.

Another stunning fact of life: at 50, you're more likely to be more successful at hiring yourself than trying to convince someone else to do it. Fortune magazine once ran a cover story: "Finished at Forty," detailing the corporate trend of hiring younger people. As one CEO put it: "Why should I hang on to someone who's over 50? He's tired of
