Open the Pandora’s Box & Unleash your Hidden Power. – by: George Papazoglou

“Open the Pandora’s Box by Digging-Into Your Subconscious World and Allow your Inner Boundless Power, RULE YOUR LIFE.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Writes George Papazoglou.

It really doesn’t matter what your objectives are in this life. You breathe, live and act on a conscious level all day long… dear friend, you’re…

- Preprogrammed to Act on whatever They Want you to. –

Who are they? They’re the Thought Control Masters. Those who invade in your mind with unscrupulous, virtually “underground” techniques.

That makes you feel anxious, paralyzed and causes you a significant loss in your personality’s perception and existence.

You still don’t know *exactly* what we’re talking about, right? Of course you don’t… They’re making you think on a conscious level so you…

* Will Not Find your Ultimate Inner Power. *

However, you’re a pioneer… nobody can enslave and rule your life – nobody. Your goals should always be met.

Try to discover the Pandora’s Box within you and you’ll be reborn with your most eloquent personal characteristics, that you will implant for your transformation.

This is the Box, a Real Box in another Reality… your subconscious mighty world.

Now don’t let any sense of doubt about your subconscious power.

> It Exists and Can Be Deployed.

You can be as successful you want and ultimately excel in every walk of life. Once you develop and expand your…

Expand your Limitless Inside Power and Discover the Path of a Compelling Entity.

Start leveraging your innate potential today. Commence your personal development (and improvement) by setting some parameters in your life:

• Communicate with your self more systematically.
• Oppose questions, provide answers by being responsive to your self.
• Repeat this process on a daily basis – be more insightful, more skeptic.

Eliminate any negative idiosyncrasy that hinders your self-improvement, coming from you, or any other influential source.

Develop new areas on interest in your life, or opt to “reset” a goal you never reached (accomplished).

Remember; negative thoughts can make you obese, ill, psychologically dependent, derailed and “victimized”.

Avoid criticizing, copying and adopting rules that others try to impose you to, stop over-working, don’t rely on the “critical” eye of the “beholders”, stay true – be authentic.

Make a wish. Then “interrogate” yourself on “how you can fulfill your wish”.

• What strategy should be put into action?
• How much time do you need?
• When will you start? When…what… and if…? ~~ Powerful “Avenues” for a Compelling Personality: ~~
• Broaden your Spiritual Dynamo by bodybuilding!
• Study quality books and reports on self-improvement.
• Unleash your Maximum Performance & Personal Success.
• Think and Plan like a Leader – like a True Winner, a General.
• Find new areas of interest that will leverage your productivity.

  What are you waiting for?

  Uncap the so far sealed Pandora’s Box within you.

  Your subconscious consents everything, just reach for it, for a definite pathway to ultimate success and vigorousness – just do it.

How to Choose a Pearl Necklace for Your Wedding Day – by: Yan Berry

The elegant beauty of a strand of pearls has fascinated brides for centuries. People believe that wearing pearls on their wedding day will bring bliss to their marriage.

Pearls are classic wedding jewelry. How do you choose that perfect pearl necklace?

Here are some tips:

There are four types of pearls: Akoya, Tahitian, South Sea, and freshwater. Akoya, Tahitian and South Sea pearls grow in oceans. They are more valuable than freshwater pearls for their rarity and high luster.

Akoya pearls are the most popular. These pearls are valued for their rich color, mirrorlike finish, and appealing roundness.

As with any other gemstones, the value of pearls is determined by their quality.

A pearl’s quality can be A, AA, AA+, AAA, AAA+. The last two, AAA and AAA+ pearls, have the best quality and they are most valuable. For pearls of the same size, an ‘A’ quality pearl necklace costs only a small fraction of AAA quality pearl necklace. [

The quality and value of pearls are based upon six criteria: luster, nacre, surface, color, shape, size and matching. The educated buyer uses his or her preferences to decide which criteria are most important.

Nacre: Most buyers of pearl jewelry pay most attention to the pearls’ nacre thickness. Nacre is the coating that a pearl oyster produces to cover the pearl’s nucleus; it is the key to how long pearls last. You should look for pearls with nacre thickness over 0.4mm.

Luster and Surface: Luster is the amount of light reflected from the pearl’s surface. A strand of pearls with high luster, mirror finish and clean surfaces is most desirable and valuable.

Color: It is a personal choice. Consider buying a pearl necklace whose color will complement your clothing and your skin tone.

Size: The price of pearls that are larger than 7mm varies greatly. People usually buy the largest pearls they can afford.

Shape: Round pearls are most desirable and valuable.

Matching: For a pearl necklace or bracelet, matching refers to the ways in which all of the pearls are similar. It is difficult to find enough identical pearls to make a well-matched pearl necklace; therefore such a necklace commands a top price.

After you have decided the type, color, size and quality of pearls that you want, think about your budget. Take your time to shop around and find that perfect pearl necklace for your wedding day!

The Importance of taking a Multivitamin Supplement – by: Ryan Cote’

It’s absolutely crucial that your body gets the nutrients it needs to function effectively and efficiently. The daily stress of pollution, fatty and processed food, and stress deplete your body of nutrients and it’s up to you to replace these nutrients. You can do this through healthy nutrition, or even better, through healthy nutrition and proper supplementation.

For the average person, it’s difficult to get the proper amount of nutrients needed from food alone. Even the healthiest of eaters might not be getting the recommended amount of vitamins and minerals. This is because it’s hard to judge exactly how much nutrients you are getting from the food you are eating, not to mention certain forms of cooking actually destroys the vitamins and minerals in the food. This is why taking a multivitamin supplement is so benefiting.

The best thing you can do for you body is to eat a balanced diet and supplement it with a quality multivitamin. You’ll get the nutrients your body needs from the food and then back it up with the multivitamin for a powerpacked effect.

There are four forms of mulivitamins you can buy: capsule, tablet, softgel, and liquid. Avoid tablets at all costs because they are the hardest for your body to breakdown and absorb. Liquid multivitamins are the easiest for your body to absorb because there’s nothing for your body to breakdown, but capsules and softgels are also good forms of multivitamins in reference to absorption rate.

So which multivitamins are good ones to buy? Generally speaking, you pay for what you get. The cheap supermarket multis are inexpensive but can’t compare to a quality, more expensive multi. Your best bet is to decide how much you can afford to spend and then do research on the Internet on the multivitamins that fall within your price range.

Multivitamins are probably the single most important supplement you can take. If you aren’t taking one, you really should consider doing so.

The Technical Stuff – by: Rob Rawson

(including how to build a fantastic website, all the elements you need to consider and how to make it work with little or notechnical abilities).

It can be done.

I’m almost certain that many people reading this Ecourse have no technical skills at all? I’m not embarrassed to let you know that I don’t have great technical skills… I’ve learned how to build really basic websites, but nothing fancy (I don’t think the Profit Puppy site is going to win any design awards in the near future!).

The fact is you don’t need to have great technical skills to make a good website. In some ways having limited web design abilities gives you an advantage because you won’t get caught up in, what can sometimes be, confusing details. As a novice you’ll be able to focus on what counts … That is; making money, marketing your site and getting visitors.

If you have no money, then you will need to learn how to do all of these things yourself which will slow you down considerably. If you can afford to pay someone else to design your site, then you can get a great site designed at a tiny fraction of the cost (compared with what it would cost to start a “real” bricks and mortar business in the offline world).

Web design can be a be a bit overwhelming when you are starting out, especially if you haven’t done it before – it’s hard to know what you should do and where to start. However, once you’ve been through the initial process it gets easier and easier.

To start with, let’s look at all the “technical” elements that you need to

include for consideration on your new site. We will be covering several of these aspects in more depth in later issues, but for now, I’ll provide an overview of the things you will need to get started:

Domain name – you need a domain name for your site (E.g. www.yoursite.com)

Web hosting – you need to get your site hosted somewhere so other people can see it.

An auto-responder email service – you probably want to have some kind of email auto-responder set up. This is can help communicate effectively with your audience by send them a series of emails from you automatically.

Copy (i.e. words).

Design – you need to get a template designed for your site.

Audio – audio has proven to generate more sales and interest to visitors.

A shopping cart service – if you are planning an ecommerce site and want to be able to accept online payments, you will need a shopping cart service where you can accept credit cards via a secure server.

A merchant account – to accept credit cards you need to have your own, or a third party merchant account.

An affiliate program – you may want to have your own affiliate program. We’ll talk about this in future issues of the Ecourse.

If you can combine the above elements and put them together effectively, you’ll have the essence of a great website. Keep in mind that you may not need the shopping cart service, the merchant account, or the affiliate program if you are not actually selling your own product.

Below, I’ve provided valuable information about how to build the 9 most important elements of a successful website:

The Domain name and Web hosting

I will be examining domain names in more detail in a later issue of the Ecourse, but for now, I’ll assume that you need a new domain name for your site. A goodplace to start is somewhere like http://www.mydomainfriend.com/ – this is a great keyword combination tool that I built for researching and finding new domain names. My Domain Friend helps to simplify, what can be, a quite often lengthy and tiresome process. When you find a suitable domain, there are number of cheap services where you can register it for under $10. For more info on domain names and web hosting check out http://www.profitpuppy.com/hosting.htm

An Auto-responder service

If you want to build a profitable site you should definitely consider an auto-responder service. If you get someone to your website, there’s a good chance they may never come back. By using an auto-responder you can build a valuable relationship with you your visitors and increase the likelihood that that they will visit your site again (unless they unsubscribe!).

There are many different ways you can use auto-responders. For example, you might start an Ecourse, or remind your visitors of upcoming events or product developments in a newsletter. Auto-responders are crucial if you want to maximize the profits from website. In a later issue of the Ecourse, I’ll be showing you how to put together great sounding newsletters to help you get more bang for your buck.

So, how do you set up an auto-responder? The best (and easiest) option is to go with one of the many third party services that are available on the web. For more information and a list of the best auto-responder services visit: http://www.profitpuppy.com/compare-autoresponder.htm

Writing copy for your site

Words are the MOST important element of your site: Effective copy is the one factor that will ensure that visitors react in a way that you want them to (whether it’s to buy something or simply to browse the information available on your site).

Of course, the way you write for your site depends on what type of site you are building and what you want to achieve. If you are building a site with sales in mind, you’re going to need a copywriter to carefully draft a great sales pitch.

If you’re not a confident writer, you’re going to have to find someone to do it for you. The bad news is, a good copywriter is hard to find. However, if you fancy yourself as writer, you should start out by trying to develop the content yourself (other sites are always a good reference point!).

If you are building an affiliate marketing site you should concentrate on well worded copy to highlight the programs and products that you are promoting. General writing tasks, like this, are a much easier undertaking as there is usually a wealth of available existing information about your products or programs (sometime affiliate programs will even provide you with useful copy for you site). “General” (as opposed to specialist) writers are usually much easier to find.

In my experience, you can provide much more powerful content if you can afford to outsource your writing tasks to an experienced copy writer with a great understanding of your product or service. By taking this approach, you will have more free time to spend researching new opportunities and managing the other elements of your site which could be making you money.

To find a good copywriter, have a look at the services on:

http://www.profitpuppy.com/freelance-sites.htm

In general, you can expect to pay around $15-30 per page (around 400 words). It’s possible employ writers for around $5 per page, but don’t expect polished copy for that price. For a reasonable copywriter you will be looking at a minimum of $50 per page. Not surprisingly, great copywriters charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars per page.

Designing the site

As with the other elements of your site, there are a few options here; you can learn how to do design a site yourself (if you don’t already have the skills). The disadvantage of this method is that designing a nice looking site can be quite a lengthy process. Again, if you have the budget for it, I would recommend outsourcing the work, especially if you are just getting started.

Freelance web designers (unlike good copy writers) are everywhere. Contracting your web design tasks to a freelancer is usually an inexpensive and sound option. For more information about hiring a freelance web designer, check out the list of resources at: http://www.profitpuppy.com/freelance-sites.htm

Another (and less appealing option) is to get a local firm to design a site for you. If you reside in the USA or UK this is likely to be an expensive proposition (sometimes up to 500% on what you can pay for a freelancer) – I wouldn’t recommend this option unless you have money falling out of your pockets : )

If you would prefer to talk to the person that is designing the site, think about alternatives like hiring a university student or someway studying graphic design. You can often find someone who has great web design skills and is relatively inexpensive.

Also, don’t be afraid to ask for some examples of work before employing someone. It’s important to know that they can create site design that you are going to be happy with. The last option for designing a site is to use an application like Site Build It. (Go to http://www.profitpuppy.com/designingwebsite.htm for more information on this package). There are some distinct advantages to using software like this – it does everything for you, including the domain name and hosting, auto-responders. The best thing about using Site Build It is that will also help you to get listed in the search engines. Audio, shopping, merchant accounts and more…

For an easy way to place audio on your site: http://www.profitpuppy.com/instantaudio.

For a comparison of shopping cart services: http://www.profitpuppy.com/shopping-cart.htm

For information on setting up a merchant account (so that you can accept onlinepayments) have a look at http://www.profitpuppy.com/accepting-payment.htm

Getting Your Reality TV Show Idea in Front of the People Who Make Them – by: Matt Canham

More, more, more for less, less, less is what the networks are saying about reality television because the popularity has staying power that is here forever.

There will always be a new reality show coming out, with new ideas coming from every aspect of life and there are even television stations dedicated to reality TV 24 hours a day.

But how long can this golden run go on? The short answer is indefinitely, as there is something of a stand off in place. The viewers ask that question, and the producers also ask that question, and both sides continue to watch and create the programs.

Who will crack first? When will they crack? With the huge success of many shows, it is not going to be anytime soon. But what about this huge success?

In terms of the individual success of one show, it will have little to do with the overall popularity of the genre. The run away success of The Simpsons didn’t stop others producing animation, just as the wild success of one Reality show won’t stop others from being made.

The big attraction to Reality TV is the audience involvement. They are watching real people and invest in them emotionally. Anyone who invests their time emotionally, isn’t going to just walk away, so they stay and keep watching to see the eventual outcome. And we already know there are no limits to the behaviour and emotions of human beings.

For this reason, I feel the next wave will be even wilder that the what we are seeing now. It’s going to get kind of weird folks, which in turn makes for great television. Sorry to all my buddies in Hollywood that act or are so called real writers.

In my opinion reality TV show writers are just that; “writers” but they are also creators as well which is an interesting duality that is really unique to them. Everyone has got an idea but who is able to lay it out so a producer can envision their show idea, who knows the ins and out and which hoops to jump through. Who knows what will be a colossal waste of time and at the same time knows exactly the proper path to take? The path that can lift your idea from just an idea to a simple proper one page treatment across the right desk of the right person, in the right fashion, without smacking of desperation and looking as if it has been put together by someone lacking experience…

The big consideration these days is the potential market for advertising. If you can clearly identify the target age groups for your show and the companies who might want to advertise to that market, you will have a very powerful pitch. The Contender was a great example – Everlast and Toyota Tundra broadcast to an audience of millions. Reality shows are about Entertainment, but they are also new vehicles for advertising!

Instead of just being involved in the breaks between the show, Reality TV allows advertisers to become part of the show. And any adman worth his place on Madison Avenue will know that being in the mind of the consumer for the whole show, not just 30 seconds of it, is a very worthy exposure for his client.

For this reason, the role of potential advertisers in the show should be of paramount importance to writers. Reality TV is not just about entertainment – it is also about selling products to the shows target audience. Never forget that.

If your idea is good, you might want to move ahead with it NOW. There are 150 top production companies that do reality shows and are waiting for the next big idea.

There is only question left you need to ask yourself. Is it going to be yours?

Website Promotion – by: Anusuya Veth

Have you ever wondered why some websites get a thousand hits a day while others don’t? Well, the secret lies in something called ‘website promotion’.

When I mean ‘website promotion’ it does not require you to spend loads on money to ensure that your site stands out. In fact one can easily promote their sites and at the same time save money.

1. Free Links

There are so many sites out there which offer free links. Contact the webmaster and offer to exchange links. By doing this you are not spending a cent and yet your site gets exposed too.

2. Free Submission to Search Engines

This is one which I often do for my websites. The result is amazing. At one go you can choose to submit to a lot of search engines. Just type ‘free submission’ in any search engine and you will be able to get the sources for submitting your site.

3. Word of Mouth

Have a new site to promote? Just spread the word around to anyone and everyone you know. Let your family and friends know about the site and tell them to inform their friends about it too.

4. Print URL

Printing the url of your site in namecards & letterheads is another way to increase hits to your site. The more publicity your site gets the more visitors it earns!

5. Submit Content

Are you a pro at a specific topic? If you are write articles and submit them to various web portals. At the end of the article put a link to your site. In this way those who read your articles will click to visit your site.

The above are some ways on how you can promote your site without burning a big hole in your pocket. Have fun promoting your site!

The Dominican Republic The Real Truth – by: Elvis King

A carribean paradise or a haven for corruption.

White sandy shore lines and beautiful reasonably priced all-inclusive beach resorts.The Dominican Republic can offer you the best vacation of your life.

If you plan to get outside of your hotel room a good tour guide can be worth the money.

For a retirement destination it can be risky because the economy is very unstable and the dollars yo yo has left American products at about 10 times the their prices in the United States.When the dollar started going up from about 19 to 1 to 57 to 1 you could see the merchants in the stores and supermarkets raising there prices every five minutes. But when the dollar dropped from 57 back to 27 to 1 the stores owners didn’t notice and just sat in there offices and forgot to lower the prices. The Dominican people are close to starving to death because of the prices of food in the stores. Which also equates to extremely high prices for a person vacationing in dollars or living in dollars in the Dominican Republic. The tourist can get around the gastly prices by simply staying in an all-inclusive resourt. I had a stomach ache after eating my favorite peanut butter and fried banana sandwhich and went to buy a bottle of Pepto Bismol that cost $1.98 back home and I had to pay $15 dollars. That gives you an idea of how prices are set.

For a bachelor looking for a girlfriend or wife, there is no place better. The Dominican Republic has many available beautiful women. And I don’t say beautiful lightly. The Dominican Republic holds the crown for Miss Universe. Amelia Vega was crowned Miss Universe in 2003. To avoid the wrong girl again the bachelor looking for that special girl needs that special tour guide who is also a professional matchmaker. These beautiful girls are readily available but you have to know how and where to look for them. Again you have to have the right professional guide for the job. See the resource box listed below.

Getting around . You will need the military version of the Humvee. I couldn’t imagine any worse roads in the world. You can go into the most exquisite areas in the Dominican Republic where their wealthy live and you will find mud roads with deep holes in the roads. The wealthy have no respect for their communities. Trash , Dominicans aren’t happy if they don’t have some trash in the street. Even in the most exclusive areas.

The people. The nicest people in the world. They are kind, friendly and beautiful people. They seem to love Americans.They have an American raised and educated President. He was born in the Dominican Republic but raised and educated in New York.

Safety, In my opinion one of the safest countries on earth. Less violence against their own people and tourists than most places you might want to vacation or retire.

Theft issues. They will steal your shirt off your back if your not looking. However, very little armed robbery. Again it’s a very safe country if you use common sense as to where you go.

Bank safety. The government seems to be more honorable than most countries. When A local banker stole 2.5 billion dollars from a local bank the government stood behind the bank and paid back the money, but in pesos. You wouldn’t get your money back if a U.S or Western Country banker stole that much money.

Corruption. The banker stole 2.5 billion and walked away as free as a bird. He is flying around in his helicopters and cruising in one of his private yahts in the French Riviera right now. While the poor people can’t even buy a green banana to eat. Why? That’s the Dominican system. If your going to steal… steal big. You can walk away as free as a bird. Steal a Papaya and you could be gunned down in the street. Both events actually happened in the Dominican Republic. Moral of the story. Steal 2.5 billion dallars and you walk. Steal a papaya and you can be shot dead. You can buy your way out of anything in the Dominican Republic with 2.5 billion dollars. But if you don’t have 100 pesos for the papaya you could be in trouble.

Not to worry, the International Monitary Fund is repacing all of the money, no questions asked. They swept the whole scandel under the rug and have committed to return all the stolen money. You decide if the IMF is promoting corruption. The American Embassy screamed about the scandel. But the IMF is standing behind there decision to replace the stolen money and they are not demanding that the banker be held accountable for the crime.

But lets look at the over all picture. Would I recommend the Dominican Republic for retirement or a vacation . You bet your life I would. I love it. I am a 56 year old bachelor and the young women think I am Elvis Presley come back to life. Admittedly I have a stong resemblence and my name is Elvis and I was born in Mississippi and I later lived in Menphis. However, if you bachelors don’t know how and where to look for the nice girls you can and will go home empty handed without your Miss Universe. I couldn’t possibly pick one wife out of all these beautiful women so I decicided to keep just keep them all for myself. But one day my vacation will come to an end and I will take my Miss Universe bride home to live in Graceland. I’m coming home. The King. Elvis King. Since I can’t write songs any more I decided to write articles. Elvis.

Elvis King specializes in finding that special dream girl or girls for the lonely, older man. His one on one Bachelor Dream Tours are becoming so popular that soon only the wealthiest will be able to go on the Bachelor Dream Tour do to the waiting list and popular demand.

8. Treat your book as part of your business.

Make a plan -when to write, how much to write each week, when you will finish, what your next step is–approach a book coach professional.

9. Know you will eventually have to spend some money to make your book a top seller.

If you work a full week, then see if you can put 10 hours a week in on your book including its promotion.

10. Solve your audience’s challenge and you not only will sell a lot of books, you’ll also have a 24/7 sales person for your book.

When you write your book aimed at your best audience, and spend enough time on it, you can produce a successful E or print book.

When Your Baby Arrives – by: Richard Wong

Welcoming a newborn baby into the family is always a joyful occasion especially for first-time parents. The nine months of waiting has finally come to an end. How heart-warming it is to hear that first cry. Your baby has arrived!

When it’s time to bring your newborn baby home, the excitement continues from the hospital to your home. Relatives and friends come over to adore your newborn. What an exciting time!

Soon the initial excitement subsides and reality strikes! It’s time to think about providing the best baby care you can for your newborn. There are so many things that need to be done. And, especially if you’re a first-time parent, there are so many things you wish you knew on how to provide the best baby care possible for your infant.

You and your family will have a lot of adjusting to do especially during the first few days after your baby have come home. All of a sudden, there is a new member in the family. Daily routines will be affected. Life will not be the same again.

If you have other children at home, you may have to deal with sibling jealousy as your newborn seems to have robbed them of all the attention they used to get. The best way to handle that is to get your children involved with baby care. Depending on their ages and abilities, you may want to get them to help out with diaper changing, feeding, holding the baby, and other appropriate activities. Once they realized that their contributions are valued, their feelings of jealousy will disappear.

As a new mother, you may have to deal with ‘baby blues’. Your body is undergoing major physical changes after the birth of your baby. This may cause you to feel sad and depressed. These feelings are perfectly normal and should go away after several weeks. However, if you find that these feelings are getting more and more intense and are affecting your ability to care for yourself and your family, you should consult your doctor.

10 Tips for Easy Fundraising with Memorial Bricks – by: Elaine Johnson

So, you’re looking for a fundraising project for a school, sports team or construction project and you’re thinking about engraved bricks. Brick fundraising is pretty simple, but what are the pitfalls?

We talked to Larry Cannon (www.bricksculpture.com), who’s been engraving bricks for fundraisers since 1988. He offers the following advice before you embark on the campaign…..

1. First look at your donor database. How likely are they to contribute to your new cause? Take nothing for granted. Don’t assume that people will donate without a good strategy.

2. Think about who you’re targeting. You should expect about 20% of your database to contribute. But…how interested are they in your project? How committed are they? How are they doing financially?

4. Think about the best time to mail donation requests. Timing is everything in fundraising.

5. Think of the best way to word it. Should you play on their sympathies or emphasize that their name on a brick is a memorial will last beyond their life?

6. The project chair will make or break the project. Don’t let just anyone do it…get volunteers with the time and energy to put into the project.

7. How much money do you want to raise? Come into the project with an established goal.

8. Decide how much money people will donate to purchase a brick. Subtract the costs from the brick manufacturer and the difference is direct profit..

9. What about donor level appreciation? Do you want to honor different levels of donor contribution? If so….how? Some options are brick placement, size of bricks, number of words on the brick, emblems or logos on the bricks….

10. Can you get services donated? Does someone in the group know a brick mason who’ll donate their time to lay the brick, build the wall or whatever? If not, the cost for hiring one must come from the raised donations.
