A Message from Bob
We have been publishing since 1996, and have gone through many changes over those intervening years. As you may be aware, we have consolidated our publications into the “Tip of the Day” and discontinued several others.
Now, it is time for another change. We want to expand our community to include more of our readers. I realize that writing is not for everyone, but I also realize that many of our readers have interesting stories they could share with others.
We will be accepting articles on many topics and if they are interesting, they will be shared with our community. You will not be tied into any deadline, and when an article is submitted, you will be notified if it will be published. If it is not suitable for publishing, you will also be notified and given the reasons for its rejection. Perhaps a little “fine tuning” will turn it into one that is accepted.
If you are interested, articles should be between 350 and 700 words, and submitted with a short paragraph giving the following information:
Name of the Article
Short description (A sentence or two) of the content of the Article
Length (in words of the Article)Articles should not be a blatant sales pitch for your product or service. They should be general in nature, and not mention a specific company, unless it is a warning about deceptive business practices.
You can have an “Authors Credit Box” at the end of the article which can say pretty much anything you wish about you or your business.
Submit your article to: articles@adv-marketing.com and include “Article for your Consideration” (without the quotes) as the Subject of the email.
Computer Security Tips
by Syd TashMore Perils of ….. Email!
By now you have no doubt heard and read a lot about email dangers, good email practices, etc. When you send an email to someone, they could in theory find certain information about you that you have posted online, or associated with that email address. Do a search on your own name and email address to get an idea of what is floating around the Internet about you.
Now here are a few important points. Do not use your full or even partial name in the address. If your address is johnsmith@anyisp.com, people will assume your name is John Smith. Once someone has your name, they can do background checks and search for you. If it is an unusual or unique name, they may find out quite a bit about you.
Your Internet Service Provider has probably provided you with a few email addresses. But these addresses are no doubt associated with your personal info. You certainly do not want that to be made available online, right? Your ISP should not reveal it unless forced to by the government or a law enforcement agency, but the data is there, and mistakes happen.
So it may be a good idea to avoid using your ISP email account altogether. Free web-based email such as Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail can be accessed from any computer. You can easily cancel an account and open another, if you start to get too much jun k email. When you sign up, they ask for your name. But you can use a nickname, or any name.
Finally, never reveal your Social Insurance/Security Number or birth date online. These are two highly critical pieces of data that make it much easier to assemble information about you. And do not forget to change your passwords every couple of months.

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.

Mining For Gold In Your Home Business
by Ron TaylorBack in 1848 the employee’s of Sutter’s Mill discovered gold in the rivers and hills around what is now Sacramento, California. Unable to contain their excitement, they ran to San Francisco and shouted to the rooftops, “There’s gold in them thar hills.”
Virtually overnight gold fever spread like wildfire around the globe. Thousands poured into California to strike it rich. And amazingly, many did.
Today we are experiencing the gold rush of our generation in the form of Internet marketing and home business opportunities. The time has never been better to enter the market and stake your claim to a piece of the action. However, just like the gold fields, the marketplace can be a dangerous place unless you are guided by a few basic rules.
Over the past few years I have learned that following a few basic rules can dramatically increase the probability of achieving success. If you own a small business, or market products on the Internet, applying these simple rules can have customers flocking to your business, just as the prospectors headed for the hills in the California Gold Rush.
Rule #1 Identify Your Niche
The first rule the gold miners learned was that they had to know what they were looking for and where to find it. In modern day terms, this equates to identifying a niche market and understanding how to approach or access that market. A gold miner does not waste his time searching for gold in a salt mine, and you should not waste your time and money searching for wholesale meat customers in a room full of vegetarians. Identifying your niche market makes sense, but we tend to violate this basic rule of marketing everyday.
Rule #2 Track Your Ad Campaigns
The gold miners recognized a second rule to mining success that you can use in your daily business. The act of prospecting means “looking” for good places to stake a claim. A gold miner would scour the mountains using a gold pan to test the richness of his “paydirt.” In marketing terms, prospecting means tracking your ads and promotions in order to measure their response rates and customer conversions. A miner would not waste his time digging for gold in an area that had a low payout, and likewise, you should not run ad campaigns in mediums with low customer conversions.
Rule #3 Commit Yourself To Doing The Hard Work
Perhaps the most important rule a miner learned was that gold settles to bedrock, and can only be found by digging through tons of dirt and debris. The lesson we can take from this analogy is that success in any home business or Internet marketing campaign will take work. Sure, the first prospectors found nuggets lying on the ground, just as the Internet pioneers capitalized from the dot com craze. But sadly, we live in a different world today. To find success toady, you will have to dig through a mountain of trash to find your pot of gold.
Despite the hardships, prospectors flocked to the gold fields by the thousands, and many struck it rich. You can find pay dirt in your home business if you will identify your market niche, track and test your ad campaigns, and commit yourself to the hard work necessary to reach the bedrock.

A Little Humor for the Weekend
Airsick
=-=-=-=A little guy gets on a plane and sits next to the window. A few minutes later, a big, heavy, strong, mean-looking, hulking guy plops down in the seat next to him and immediately falls asleep.
The little guy starts to feel a little airsick, but he's afraid to wake the big guy up to ask if he can move aside to let him go to the bathroom. He knows he can't climb over him, and so the little guy is sitting there, looking at the big guy, trying to decide what to do.
Suddenly, the plane hits an air pocket and an uncontrollable wave of nausea passes through the little guy. He can't hold it in any longer and hurls all over the big guy's chest.
About five minutes later the big guy wakes up, looks down, and sees the vomit all over him.
"So," says the little guy, "are you feeling any better now?"

While working with Mr. Jones, I have always found him
working studiously and sincerely at his table without idling or
gossiping with colleagues in the office. He seldom
wastes his time on useless things. Given a job, he always
finishes the given assignment in time. He is always
deeply engrossed in his official work, and can never be
found chitchatting in the canteen. He has absolutely no
vanity in spite of his high accomplishment and profound
knowledge of his field. I think he can easily be
classed as outstanding, and should on no account be
dispensed with. I strongly feel that Mr. Jones should be
pushed to accept promotion, and a proposal to administration be
sent away as soon as possible./s/

Jones was present when I was writing the report mailed to you
today. Kindly read only the alternate lines 1,3,5,7,... for my
true assessment of him.

Five year old Becky answered the door when the Census taker came by.
She told the Census taker that her daddy was a doctor and wasn't home, because he was performing an appendectomy.
"My," said the census taker, "that sure is a big word for such a little girl. Do you know what it means?"
"Sure! Fifteen hundred bucks, and that doesn't even include the anesthesiologist!"

A man was chosen for jury duty who very much wanted to be dismissed from serving. He tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. On the day of the trial he decided to give it one more shot. As the trial was about to begin he asked if he could approach the bench.
"Your Honor," he said, " I must be excused from this trial because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and I said 'He's a crook! He's guilty, guilty, guilty' So your Honor, I could not possibly stay on this jury!"
The judge replied, "Get back in the jury box. You are just the kind of juror we are looking for - a good judge of character. That man is his lawyer."

Motivational Tip For The Day
by Jan TincherHow do you know a successful person?
Ask someone to recommend someone in their field, and notice how fast they are to do so.
People who are still trying to make it, sometimes want to keep the glory.
People who have already made it, are very happy to share the glory.
Who would you rather work with or be associated with?
That's the person you should strive to emulate. Find someone like this and ask if they will be your mentor.
