Internet Tip of the Week
by Bob OsgoodbyPenny Wise
While the mid-west is getting hit with snow storms, many other areas of the country will also experience power interruptions on a fairly regular basis. Most of the problems in the U.S. are weather related and are somewhat predictable. Many countries and rural areas however, do not have a stable power supply, and this "Tip" could save you a lot of grief.
If you are going to leave your PC on for a long period of time, you should save any open files. The reason is simple: you never know when the power may fail, and if it does and you have files unsaved, you may lose any changes you have made to them - some packages back up automatically every 10 minutes or so, others don't.
That's fine, but what if you are working on a file and you have a split second power outage - you have just lost everything you just entered, and you probably got one of those "pesky tmp files". These power "glitches" are far more common today than total outages that last for a long period of time.
Your best protection for this type of problem (it is fairly common in my area) is to purchase an Uninterruptible Power Supply. These can be had for about $100 and are a good insurance program. If you do lose your power for a "split second", your computer won't even know it. And, if the outage is of a longer duration, you have plenty of time to shut down your computer in an orderly fashion.
I also have a low wattage light attached to mine. If the power does go out, at least we have some light to find our way about. A power supply, in combination with a "Surge Suppressor" provides the best protection.
The "Surge Suppressor" will provide protection against power spikes. Most of us take steps to protect our computer during a thunder and lightening storm. But did you know that a storm can be far away, and still cause damage. You may not even know it is happening. A lightening strike on a power line, even from a distant storm, can send a surge into your house.
If your power does go out, if you have appliances that draw a lot of electricity, such as air conditioners or refrigerators, when the power comes back on they could cause a spike in your current. This can cause significant damage to your computer if unprotected.
It seems foolish to spend all that money on a computer, and not spend a few extra dollars to protect it from such a real hazard. In this case, it really doesn't pay to be "Penny Wise."

In The News
Poor Graduation Rates Leads to a Major Offensive
Florida will be the first state in the nation to require high school students to pick a college-style major, which is being questioned by parents, but educators believe it will help boost graduation rates. The state announced a list of 400 majors on Monday to prepare for freshman registration.
Local school districts will decide which majors to offer and post them online for eighth-graders to select as early as next month. Majors range from motorcycle repair to pre-med, from fashion design to anthropology, and the list even includes the study of eurythmics (yoo-rith-miks), a method of interpreting music through free-style dance and exercise.
The majors program, part of the wider-ranging A-Plus-Plus law designed to increase the rigor as well as relevance of middle and high school, will be phased in over four years.

Beginner's Guide To Making Money on The Internet
by Alan ChengWhen first starting out to make money on the Internet, the first thing you should do is to get as much information as you can so that mistakes or loss of money can be kept to a minimum.
The first thing to learn is not to be taken in by all the hype that is out on the Internet. Sure the advert makes the product look so attractive that you can't wait to buy it. My advice is wait.
The information or product will still be there the next week or next month. Calm down and wait for a few days before whipping out your credit card. Read reviews and think to yourself "Is this what I really want to buy?" Ask, "Is this something I really need?"
The next thing you have to consider is what you’re going to sell. Would other people want to buy the product? After deciding on what you are going to sell whether it's an affiliate product or your own product, you have to create a website to display and sell your product.
First write down on paper the content of the sales page and other information which you want on your website. With all this information, go to websites that will custom develop websites for you, or learn to create websites yourself. Make sure your website captures the visitors' email address. I will explain the why later on.
Your third task is to buy or use tools which will help you in automating your business. Send a blank email to my autoresponder address tools@onlinemoneymachine.com to receive a list of recommended software tools for the online home business.
Now that you’ve got a good product to sell, and a website to take orders, the final step is to bring traffic to your website.
This is the key to your riches - the part that will make or break your business.
There are many ways to drive traffic to your website. To go into detail with each of them will require several books. The major techniques for driving traffic to a website are:
- Getting your website listed in search engines so that people can search for you
- Spend money on Pay Per Click search engines
- Buy web traffic from traffic selling websites. These kind of visitors are usually unresponsive.
- Buy email leads from traffic selling websites
- Post advertisements on ezines, free classifieds, blogs etc...
- Submitting your ezine articles to ezine publishers
- Traffic exchange websites
- Sending emails to the list of people reminding them to visit your website again and to buy your product. This can be through your own newsletter. This is why it is essential to capture your visitors address on your website.
You can use all of the methods at the same time but the true art lies in your copywriting skills. Can you write enticing adverts that will persuade visitors to buy?
As you can see from what I've discussed, having on online home business requires hard work and knowledge. Well I hope I’ve hammered that thought into your head.
“An online home business needs the same effort you would put in for a normal business. It's no different”.
Here is 3 final suggestions to end this article.
1. Continue to read and learn from books and successful websites. Put their good qualities into your own business.
2. Ignore the negative comments around you and persist in your home business. Far too many people give up too easily and early.
3. I remember clearly the first few months when I started my home business. I know the frustration beginners go through which is why my business is catered for the newbies out there to help them. What's your market that you are selling to? Do you know how to approach them and what their needs are?
Hang in there. All athletes train hard to get where they are. We're all the same.

Trivia
Newspaper columnists and others have claimed that the body's chemical worth is between 98 cents and $5. But one doctor argues that, at the rates currently charged by large chemical distributors, the body's worth is at least $169,834 - not counting $1,200 worth of blood. The key is to market the body's products intelligently and not reduce them to basic elements like carbon and zinc.

A Little Humor to Start the Week
Red neck Twins
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=A man was taking his wife, who was pregnant with twins, to the hospital when his car went out of control and crashed.
Regaining consciousness, he saw his brother, a relentless practical joker, sitting at his bed side.
He asked his brother how his wife was doing and his brother said, "Don`t worry, everybody is fine and you have a son and a daughter.
But the hospital was in a real hurry to
get the birth certificates filed and since both you and your wife were unconscious, I named them for you."The husband was thinking to himself, "Oh no, what has he done now?" and asked with some trepidation, "Well, bro, what did you name them?"
Whereupon, his brother replied, "I named the little girl Denise."
The husband, relieved, said, "That`s a lovely name! And what did you come up with for my son?"
The brother winked and replied, "Denephew."

A doctor, a lawyer and a manager were discussing the relative merits of having a wife or a mistress.
The lawyer says: "For sure a mistress is better. If you have a wife and want a divorce, it causes all sorts of legal problems."
The doctor says: "It`s better to have a wife because the sense of security lowers your stress and is good for your health."
The manager says: "You`re both wrong. It`s best to have both so that when the wife thinks you`re with the mistress and the mistress thinks you`re with your wife -- you can go to the office and do some work.

Two college basketball players were taking an important final exam. If they failed, they would be on academic probation and not allowed to play in the big game the following week. The exam was fill-in-the-blank.
The last question read, "Old MacDonald had a ________."
Bubba was stumped. He had no idea what to answer. But he knew he needed to get this one right to be sure he passed.
Making sure the professor wasn`t watching, he tapped Tiny on the shoulder. "Pssst. Tiny. What`s the answer to the last question?"Tiny laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor hadn`t noticed then he turned to Bubba. "Bubba, you`re so stupid. Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a FARM."
"Oh yeah," said Bubba. "I remember now."
He picked up his No. 2 pencil and started to write the answer in the blank. He stopped. Tapping Tiny`s shoulder again, he whispered, "Tiny, how do you spell farm?"
"You are really dumb, Bubba. That`s so easy. Farm is spelled E-I-E-I-O."

Superman, Snow White and the Hunchback of Notre Dame were sitting around talking about their best qualities. Superman said, "I am considered to be the strongest man in the world." Snow White said, "I am considered to be the fairest maiden in the world." Hunchback said, "Well, I have the reputation of being the ugliest man in the world."
Superman suggested they go to the castle and see what Snow White`s mirror had to say. Superman went in first. When he returned he said the mirror confirmed that he is still the strongest man in the world.
Snow White was next and when she joined the other two she said she was, indeed, still the fairest maiden in the world.
The Hunchback was next and when he came out he had a puzzled look on his face. He is asked the other two, "Who is Dennis Rodman?"
