New Era Debt Solutions Offers an Excellent Debt Settlement Affiliate ...

Camarillo, CA (February 23, 2012) ? New Era Debt Solutions, a Camarillo-based debt settlement company, offers finance industry professionals a profitable opportunity to help debt-burdened clients improve their financial situation. Through their Professional Referral Partnership Program, New Era opens up a potential revenue stream for certified public accountants (CPAs), financial planners, bankruptcy attorneys, and more.

The goal of the affiliate program is to offer an excellent referral resource for finance professionals to use in order to help their clients who are looking for a way to settle debts. A win-win for all parties involved, the Professional Referral Partnership Program offers financial incentives to professionals who point their clients in the right direction.

Finance professionals can potentially earn as much as $400 each time they refer a client to New Era. The company offers $50 for each referral, an additional $100 for every referral that earns New Era a client, and a further $250 once a settlement is reached for those specific clients. Referrers can rest easy knowing that New Era has a 10-year track record of success in debt settlement which has earned New Era an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

In addition, New Era utilizes a performance-based fee model. This compensation model ? one that has been required by the Federal Trade Commission since 2010 ? defers the billing of fees until after a settlement has been reached. This means that the client does not pay upfront or monthly administrative fees. The client is not required to pay for services not rendered.

New Era has been implementing this compensation model for well over a decade. New Era?s programs average a completion period of around 27 months. Within this period, the average client realizes a savings of more than 50% even after the interest growth and miscellaneous creditors? fees have been taken into account.

Financial professionals interested in becoming a referral partner can find out more about New Era?s debt settlement Affiliate Program by visiting www.NewEraDebtSolutions.com.

Clean Energy Stocks -News and Commentary in Cleantech ...

New York - February 27, 2012 - Solar stocks commentary; Investor Ideas www.Investorideas.com, leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors, issues a solar stocks update from J. Peter Lynch for Monday February 27th.

Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch at Investorideas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/PL/

J. Peter Lynch

Current Status and Past Stop Loss Levels

Our first stop loss point for our 2012 Solar Portfolio was triggered with YGE trading below $4.20. We did not question our system; we simply followed it and sold the position for a small gain of 1.92% on the YGE trade.

Our second action was to sell ? of the remaining positions on 2/13/2012 when all solar stocks shot up to VERY overbought levels, which I did not think were sustainable.

On Friday (2/24/2012) two more stocks hit their stop points and were sold - GTAT @ $9.00 and TSL @ $8.50.

This leaves the portfolio with two positions - CSIQ (600 shares) and LDK (500 shares). Of the two stocks LDK is the strongest as this time and in fact is the ONLY solar stock that is trading ABOVE both its 50 day moving average (short term positive) and its 200 day moving average (longer term positive).

The current status of the 2012 portfolio is an unrealized gain of 25.74% on the two positions remaining in the portfolio and a realized gain of 20.13% on the positions we have sold.

New Stop Loss Points

As a reminder below are the stop loss points I have selected based upon technical support levels in each stock. I have set these stop points very close, since, as I mentioned in the last article I did expect the markets to pull back due to the fact that they are short term overbought.

The stop loss points for the remaining stocks in our Solar Portfolio are.

CSIQ - $3.50

LDK - $5.25

If either of these stocks reach these levels I would recommend selling that position.

-------------------------------------------------------

Remember - the number one rule of investing:

Minimize your LOSSES and Maximize your GAINS.

--------------------------------------------------------

Market Psychology

The HARDEST THING for investors to do is know when to sell. That is why you have to set specific, non-emotional prices to exit if things do not go right. You cannot allow your emotions to get involved and take over your thinking.

Remember: markets fool the majority of investors by "Climbing a Wall of Worry" which is exactly what it is doing now. Once losses start and keep getting worse when investors get on the "Slopes of Hope" and try and hope that their stock comes back - trust me, the "I hope my stock comes back" technique will NOT work. Trust in your system and follow it regardless of what you think "should happen". Once you try to impose your will on your portfolio you will stop paying attention to what is most important - "what is" NOT what you think it should be.

If you looked at the portfolios of the most successful investors you would, in general, see the following pattern:

Approximately 80% of trades would be either small losses and/or small gains and approximately 20% would be very significant gains. This is exactly how we dramatically outperformed the markets in 2010 and 2011 and continue to outperform since the beginning of 2012. We cut our losses when things did not work out and we let our profitable stock run and maximized our gains.

General Market Comments

At the current time the market is very extended above its 50 day moving average - a level which historically results in a pullback in the market closer to the 50 day moving average. As a result of this I have been setting our stop loss points very conservatively in order to make you that when the correction comes we will still lock in healthy profits.

At this point the general market is STRONGER than the solar stocks as a whole, so when the market pulls back and corrects I would anticipate that our solar stocks will move down further than the market correction.

Keep in mind that periodic corrections are normal in the stock market - what is NOT normal is for the market to be sharply up, without a correction since October 2011.

Background Analysis Notes

Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:

Fundamental Analysis - this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.

Technical Analysis - this form of analysis will tell you "when" to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.

Catsparella: 5 Pet-Friendly Moving Tips Presented By Cats In Boxes

I've partnered with Apartment Guide to serve as an Official Apartment Guide Pet Blogger! As an official blogger, I will be sharing articles filled with tips for living on a budget. This month, we're focusing our ?How-To Guide for Living on a Budget? program on DIY projects and how-to tips.Over the summer, I posted a delightful (if I do say so myself) video showing a bunch of very lucky of kitties exploring their new home for the first time. The post elicited comments on some of your own interesting moving experience, ranging from positive ("After a day of sniffing and investigating, they felt right at home!"), to one poor kitty who got so spooked by movers, she ended up in the HVAC duct for eight (of her owner's) tear-filled hours. I was browsing through the Apartment Guide Blog and Moving Today website for tips on how to make your move with cats go as smoothly as possible, and found several articles dealing with finding the right pet-friendly apartment, to making sure everyone feels right at home in your new space.

Read on for more!

1. Write your pet's resume to help you rent an apartment: It's a pain to write up my own list of qualifications, and now I have to write one up for my cats, too? Actually, putting together a formal document of your pet's veterinary records, along with letters of recommendation (!) is not a bad idea, and could potentially help convince a wary landlord that you are a far more responsible pet owner than the crazy cat lady in Apt 2B.2. Finding a pet-friendly apartment: Success! The landlord is convinced, but will you and your cat be happy in your new digs? Before signing the lease, consider if there are any sunny windows to nap in, and if you want to be the one lugging that 50 lb. bag of litter up three flights of stairs!3. The do's and don's of moving pets: Ok, so you found your new apartment - but how are you going to get your cat (who is terrified of even stepping paw out of the house) transported there safely? Talk to your vet before you go - especially if it's a long journey - to make sure kitty is up for the trip, and be sure to have a sturdy carrier your cat will feel safe in. It's also important to have up-to-date ID tags just in case, and if your cat is microchipped, make sure to have those records updated, too. 4. How to help your pet adjust to a new home: As seen in the "Mean Kitty" moving video I mentioned earlier, one of the best things you can do to help acclimate your cat(s) to their new surroundings is to make sure everything is set up before they're introduced to the space. That way, they will be able to freely roam around, and getting a whiff of some of those familiar "smells" from home will go a long way in easing any stress or anxiety that may have come along with the move.5. Stylish homes for your pet: As stressful as moving can be, one of the more enjoyable aspects is getting a fresh start when it comes to interior design. Once you've settled in, make you cat feel special by purchasing them a posh new bed, or discourage them from scratching up your brand new couch with an elegant scratching post of their very own.

How Important are Autoresponders to Internet Marketing ...

Internet Marketing and autoresponders essentially go hand-in-hand. In today?s online business world, you simply cannot succeed at Internet marketing without the use of autoresponders. Autoresponders are used to achieve many of the marketing tasks that are essential to a successful online business.

Internet marketing can be very time consuming. Whether you do affiliate marketing or market your own products, an autoresponder is a big part of your marketing arsenal. Autoresponders are used to keep in contact with your past customers, and to develop a relationship with potential customers.

An autoresponder can be used to deliver sales messages to your opt-in customer list. It can be used to deliver email courses, to send reminders, and even to help you build an opt-in list if you don?t already have one. There are many creative ways you can use your autoresponder to make more sales and to build customer relations.

Any successful marketer will tell you that there are two tools that are vital to any type of online marketing ? an opt-in list and an autoresponder. In fact, most marketers will agree that you could take away all of their other marketing tools, but they would fight to the death to keep the list and the autoresponder!

Demi Lovato "Stay Strong" Trailer: Ready To Be a Role Model


Demi Lovato is now a role model and very proud of it. But it wasn't always this way for the singer.

In a trailer for Stay Strong - the MTV special airing on March 6 that will take viewers behind the scenes of Demi's recent struggles and triumphs - the artist admits she had difficulty accepting her status as a celebrity at first. But her view has changed.

“I have daily challenges, but so do many kids who are struggling to feel comfortable in their own skin," she says. "If opening up and sharing my story inspires even one person to stay strong or to get the help they need, I’ve succeeded."

Watch the preview now and prepare to get to know Lovato like never before during this documentary.

(AP) ? A jury convicted a former University of Virginia lacrosse player Wednesday of second-degree murder of his ex-girlfriend in a drunken, jealous rage, rejecting a first-degree murder verdict and a possible life sentence.

Instead, jurors recommended a 25-year prison term for George Huguely V in the May 2010 slaying of Yeardley Love. They added one more year for a grand larceny conviction.

Huguely was found not guilty of four other charges, including breaking and entering and burglary. Jurors also could have returned lesser verdicts of involuntary or voluntary manslaughter.

Huguely, 24, of Chevy Chase, Md., bowed his head during sentencing. Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire set an April court date on sentencing matters before a formal sentencing is expected to be held in summer. He is not bound by the jury's recommendations, but Virginia judges typically heed jurors' wishes.

Jurors deliberated for about nine hours before returning their verdict to a somber courtroom. Huguely stood erect, flanked by his attorneys, and appeared stoic as the verdict was read. Some sobs could be heard in the court.

Prosecutors said Huguely killed the U.Va. women's lacrosse player after a day of golf and binge drinking, incensed that she had had a relationship with a North Carolina lacrosse player. Love's right eye was bashed in and she was hit with such power that her brain was bruised. She also had wrenching head injury that caused bleeding at the base of her brain stem.

A coroner concluded she died of blunt force trauma. Defense and prosecution experts offered different medical opinions on the lethal consequences of her injuries.

Prosecutor Dave Chapman, who described the night Love was killed as a scene from a horror show, said Huguely kicked a hole in Love's door to get in her bedroom and left his on-again, off-again girlfriend to die.

Huguely's attorneys said he only went to Love's apartment to talk before the encounter quickly turned physical. He said she banged her head against the wall of her bedroom, and she only had a bloody nose when he left.

A prosecution witness testified Love, a 22-year-old from suburban Baltimore, smothered in her own blood-dampened pillow.

Love's mother, Sharon, tearfully testified during the sentencing phase as Huguely cast his gaze down at the defense table. She described the death of her daughter as "unbearable."

"Every year that goes by I'd like to know what she'd be doing now," Sharon Love said.

Love's sister, Lexie, 28, described the absence of her kid sister.

"A song will come on the radio and I'll just burst out in tears," she said, sobbing. Her sister's death, she said, "left a large hole and nothing will fill it."

In a statement, the Love family said the passing of time has not eased the pain of their loss.

"Our hearts burst with ride when we think of Yeardley's accomplishments but our hearts melt when we remember her kindness and grace," the statement from Sharon and Lexie Love said.

The defense did not present any witnesses at the sentencing hearing.

"No person is the sum of the worst decision he ever made," one of Huguely's defense attorneys, Rhonda Quagliana, told jurors before they began deliberating his punishment.

The jury of seven men and five women heard from nearly 60 witnesses over nine days to determine what happened to Love.

They had to decide whether Huguely battered Love to death in a jealous outburst or if his intent to talk with her spiraled out of control and she died accidentally. They also suggested her own drinking and a prescription drug used for attention deficit disorder could have contributed to her death.

Besides her facial injuries, she had marks on her chest that suggested she was grabbed and had injuries around her jaw and inside her mouth and neck.

Jurors heard testimony from lacrosse players who told of Huguely's escalating drinking problem and public spats between the two. The incidents included Huguely putting Love in a chokehold while on his bed, and one in which Love accused him of flirting with two high school girls.

Friends and fellow players said the two were unfaithful to each other and had a fiery relationship.

In a police interrogation video viewed by jurors, Huguely said he simply wanted to discuss their sputtering, two-year relationship. Huguely admitted he may have shaken her but insisted he didn't grab her neck or punch her.

The prosecution painted a much more sinister scenario.

Huguely went to her apartment less than one week after he sent her a threatening email about her relationship with a North Carolina lacrosse player.

In the email, Huguely wrote that when he found out about the relationship, "I should have killed you."

In his closing arguments, defense attorney Francis McQ. Lawrence described Huguely as hulking, hard-drinking jock but no killer. He acknowledged Huguely had an unintended, accidental role in Love's death, arguing for a finding of involuntary manslaughter and a 10-year prison term.

"Where's the intent to kill?" he asked jurors. "Where's the intent to kill?"

Love's death had a statewide impact, leading to legislation that made it easier for possible abuse victims to get a restraining order in Virginia.

Last year, the state's General Assembly passed a law that expands criteria under which people can seek protective orders. The measure allows people in dating relationships or those who face threatening co-workers to more easily obtain such an order.

"Yeardley Love's death resulted in a great awakening for many individuals in Virginia and across the country about the danger that exists in violent dating relationships," Kristi VanAudenhove of the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance said in a statement.

"It has also sparked conversations at colleges and universities about how to improve policies and services for students experiencing sexual and domestic violence," she said.

U.Va. President Teresa A. Sullivan extended her "sympathy and compassion" to the Huguely and Love families.

"Yeardley's family, teammates, sorority sisters and friends ? indeed all of us at the University ? continue to feel the loss of this promising young woman," Sullivan said in a statement.

T-Mobile asks FCC to block Verizon-cable deal

NEW YORK (AP) ? T-Mobile USA, which just had its acquisition by AT&T blocked by regulators, is urging the federal government to block another deal in the wireless world: Verizon's planned purchase spectrum from cable companies for $3.9 billion.

In a filing late Tuesday, T-Mobile USA said the Federal Communications Commission should stop the deal between Verizon Wireless, Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable Inc., Bright House Networks and Cox Communications because it would place an "excessive concentration" of wireless spectrum in Verizon's hands.

With more wireless spectrum, a phone company can raise download speeds and serve more data-hungry devices like smartphones and laptops with cellular broadband.

Verizon Wireless, the country's No. 1 cell phone company, already has a relatively large amount of spectrum, while T-Mobile, the No. 4, does not.

MetroPCS Communications Inc., the fifth-largest cellphone company, also urged the FCC to block the deal. It said the parties had not provided enough information to prove that the acquisition was in the public interest.

Nine public interest groups filed their own motions to block the deal on Tuesday, ahead of a filing deadline on Wednesday.

Sprint Nextel Corp., the No. 3 carrier, took a more measured stance. It didn't ask the FCC to block the deal outright, but said the agency should look closely at the wider implications of the deal, including the provision that Verizon Wireless and the cable companies market each other's products in their stores.

The cross-marketing has already started in some areas, with Verizon Wireless stores selling Comcast cable service and Comcast stores touting Verizon cellphone plans.

Analysts hailed the co-marketing agreement as a historical shift, because phone companies and cable companies are usually bitter rivals. Verizon Communications Inc., the New York-based majority owner of Verizon Wireless, still competes with the cable companies in providing pay-TV and broadband service.

Last week, a New Jersey's Division of Rate Counsel, a state agency that advocates for consumers, asked the FCC to block the deal, also citing the spectrum accumulation issue.

Verizon Wireless has defended the deal, saying it means unused spectrum will become available to wireless subscribers.

In early December, Verizon Wireless announced a deal to buy spectrum from Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks for $3.6 billion. The cable companies had bought the spectrum jointly at an FCC auction in 2006, with loose plans to start a wireless company or form a joint venture with one. Those plans never came to fruition.

The parties said they hoped to close the deal by the middle of this year.

Verizon later struck a similar but separate deal to buy spectrum held by Cox for $315 million. Cox had started setting up its own wireless service, but gave up last year, saying it would be too small to compete against the big cellphone companies.

Shares of Verizon Communications slipped 27 cents to $38.22 in morning trading Wednesday.

'Midnight in Paris,' 'Descendants' win WGA honors

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Woody Allen's romantic fantasy "Midnight in Paris" and Alexander Payne's family drama "The Descendants" have won top screenplay honors from the Writers Guild of America.

With his biggest hit in decades, writer-director Allen earned the guild's prize Sunday for original screenplay on "Midnight in Paris." The film stars Owen Wilson as a modern Hollywood writer who gets a chance to hang with his literary idols in the 1920s Paris of Hemingway and Fitzgerald.

Director Payne shared the adapted screenplay honor with co-writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. Based on the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings, "The Descendants" stars George Clooney as a Hawaiian dad struggling to tend to his two daughters after a boating accident puts his wife in a coma.

The wins boost the prospects for both films to earn the same prizes at next Sunday's Academy Awards, where both movies also are in the running for best picture.

But not all key Academy Awards contenders were eligible for the Writers Guild honors, including Oscar best-picture front-runner "The Artist." The black-and-white silent film is competing against "Midnight in Paris" for original screenplay, but "The Artist" was ineligible at the Writers Guild awards because it was not made under the union's contract guidelines.

The guild's prize for big-screen documentary writing went to Katie Galloway and Kelly Duane de la Vega for "Better This World."

Among the guild's TV winners:

? Drama series: "Breaking Bad," Sam Catlin, Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, Gennifer Hutchison, George Mastras, Thomas Schnauz and Moira Walley-Beckett.

? Comedy series: "Modern Family," Cindy Chupack, Paul Corrigan, Abraham Higginbotham, Ben Karlin, Elaine Ko, Carol Leifer, Steven Levitan, Christopher Lloyd, Dan O'Shannon, Jeffrey Richman, Brad Walsh, Ilana Wernick, Bill Wrubel and Danny Zuker.

? New series: "Homeland," Henry Bromell, Alexander Cary, Alex Gansa, Howard Gordon, Chip Johannessen, Gideon Raff and Meredith Stiehm.

The Best Language Learning Software - Education - EzineMark

?

The reason you have found your way to this article is because you are wondering what is the best language learning software on the market today! Right? The truth is, there is not one specific language software that will be the best for each and every person! And there are many factors that go into determining which software is best for you and why. If you will take a few moments and finish reading this article, I assure you that you will have a strong heading to guide you to a specific language learning software that best suites you and your learning strengths.

?

Based on my personal analysis of several different language learning software programs, there are four software programs that really stand out. Each of these learning language software programs have their own teaching styles. The four software programs that I am referring to are Tell Me More, Fluenz, Rocket Languages, and Rosetta Stone.

?

There are a number of factors we took into consideration when determining which of the software programs above is the best language learning software program. These factors include pricing, teaching methods and styles, tools, and additional accessories such as games.

?

If you are interested in a teaching program that is low in price and contains several games then I recommend you look at the Rocket Languages software program. Rocket Languages specializes in 11 different languages including sign language. The program can be downloaded directly to your computer or shipped to your home. Having the software shipped to your home is a couple hundred dollars more expensive. So you may prefer to stick with the downloadable material. The major fall back to this software program is that it is mostly an audio program. You have the games, including a vocabulary game that helps develop your vocabulary, but the majority of the program is audio. But you are still getting a superb program for only $99 if you decide to go with the download.

?

Rosetta Stone is another big language learning software that you hear about all the time. It seems like every time you turn on the TV that you see a Rosetta Stone commercial! Rosetta Stone is a great product and they offer a lot of software tools and learning material. The major drawback that I see with the Rosetta Stone's software program is that it teaches you as if you were learning your native language for the first time. You may be thinking, "What could be so hard about that?" What makes this teaching method so hard is that you learn by looking at pictures and then hearing or seeing the foreign language word along with it. There's no English translation! Rosetta Stone has designed this program so that you can learn various words pertaining to different objects and eventually develop those words into sentences and conversations. The problem with this method is that it will probably take a long time and a lot of us don't have years to wait for our language skills to develop with Rosetta Stone. Don't let me sway you away from looking into Rosetta Stone if this is the method in which you learn best. Go with what you know works for you and you will find the success that you are looking for.

?

Fluenz is another exceptional language learning software program. This program has been designed to take the headache out of learning. Fluenz has done this by eliminating lots of drop down menus and other buttons that you may see on your screen during the learning process. Basically allowing the software program to easily guide you through each lesson. In addition, Fluenz is rated extremely high among its users. There are a lot of users that are very happy with this program because of its simplicity. Other great features of Fluenz include progress tracking, iPod/MP3 compatibility, personalized learning paths and speech recognition. But one of the down sides to Fluenz is that the program developers choose not to include any games, test or quizzes. The reason the designers choose not to implement any test or quizzes for the software program is because the designers felt it best that the individual repeat various lessons until they have mastered the material. Sometimes people can just go in to a testing situation and do well on a test by simply being lucky. This method eliminates that likely outcome and encourages a complete mastery of the study material.

?

As awesome as the Fluenz language learning software program is, my absolute favorite is the Tell Me More software program! The program includes all the perks of the Fluenz software program mentioned above with the addition to games, quizzes and test. Something that should be noted here is that Tell Me More's personalized learning path tool is extremely awesome! It has three different modes that you can choose from. The Free-to-Roam, The Guided Mode and the Dynamic Mode. The Free-to-Roam mode allows you to do what you very well please. So if you want to work on one specific area of a specific lesson then you can. The Guided mode will guide you through your lessons one at a time. The Dynamic Mode is the coolest of all! This mode will analyze your previous scores and progress, and then adapts your future lessons to focus on the areas that you performed weakest in a previous lesson. Essentially, allowing you to develop your weaker areas. The major downside to this software program is that it's only available in windows operating systems. If you have a mac then I am really sorry. Just pray that the designers of Tell Me More come out with a mac version in the very near future.

?

As you can see each of the programs are different in their own ways. So it is definitely beneficial to look a little closer to pick out the details that can make a software program right for you. If you interested in learning Spanish with one of these programs and want a closer look then feel free to check out one of the links in the authors bio box. Thanks and have a great day!

Making Your Online Customer Service Work

Employing the ideas you?ll get within the following paragraphs, you can be moving toward producing online advertising and marketing your full time job. During this write-up we?re going to talk about auto sms system.

Customer service for your online business is just a part of doing business and you cannot ignore it or make it go away. There are just so many problems and inquiries that are a normal part of business, and they have to be addressed. The only thing that you need to focus on is taking the right step at the right time to ensure your customers aren?t ignored.

You can smartly incorporate sound customer support and relations policies that will serve your business very well.

Have mechanisms for feedback at every important point in your business process, and that includes soliciting ideas from customers on how to make improvements. As far as getting this done; just put permanent processes in place and do temporary requests from time to time. Generally speaking, there will not be a lot of folks who will make suggestions. Maintain a level of relationship with your customers where they freely give you suggestions. Make everything about talking to you or anybody in your business a hassle-free experience. Give your customers a less complicated route towards getting around your website. They shouldn?t have to search for your ?contact? page. One other great idea that many businesses now do is make their social media account known for contact purposes. Also, when people see that there are multiple methods of contact, they will feel better about you and be more trusting.

Think about what you can do on your site that also fills the support capacity. You know what the most common questions are, so think about doing an FAQ resource and make available to visitors. This is all for the benefit of customers and those who are potential customers, and that is the main consideration. You want to minimize and be efficient, and this is just one other way to do that.

There are some similarities between online and offline business, and we think customer service is very much the same. It is quite easy to grasp what needs to be done, and the reason is it is the same things you want from customer service. How long you want to take with this is impossible to say for us, but just make sure you do what is needed.

Keep the eye on the ball which means your customers, and do what is necessary in your own business.

We advise you head above to renegade millionaire to obtain way more online marketing and advertising and advertising tips..

Why Is Social Media Important For Your Business? | ShiftWeb ...

What is Social Media?

Social media is a term that covers both social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin, as well as social bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon, Digg, and Google Bookmarks. Social media marketing is the use of these types of sites to promote a business. It promotes a business by increasing a site?s visibility on the web, increasing awareness of the business among people of similar interests, provides free traffic, and gains backlinks to the business website.

Initially social media was viewed as a gimmick and not much more than an ego trip for people with too much spare time. The emergence of two hugely popular social media platforms in the form of Facebook and Twitter has been a game changer. The use of social media is now at the heart of all good online strategies.

How does social media benefit a business?

1. Brand Awareness, Identity, and Protection

Social media is a fact of life and increasingly, a part of everyday life for billions of people. A business needs to be where the customers are and create an awareness of its brand. Online is now the equivalent of the old idea of ?footfall?. Not being a part of this is to ignore the reality that this method of doing business is very much here to stay. By being part of the online community and creating a ?buzz? businesses are able to place themselves at the center of all the activity.

Brand identity is a vital component of any business strategy. Having an active online presence through the use of social media is a highly effective and cheap method of promoting awareness of a brand. Using social media also allows a business to monitor and respond to positive, negative and even inaccurate mentions of a business online.

2. Niche Marketing

The assumption is often made that niche means small. It might often mean small in the offline world but due to the global nature of the Internet niche can often be massive. Conversing and forming relationships online with people of similar interests can be highly lucrative when done correctly. One of the great benefits in this area of social media marketing is the fact that because of the shared interests many visitors are already pre-sold.

3. Site Traffic Generation

Promoting and sharing a site using social media such as Facebook and Twitter can often mean substantial traffic to a site. Reports suggest that in excess of seventy percent of online referrals come via Facebook. Both Twitter and Facebook boast very high click through rates to content mentioned on their platforms.

4. Search Engine Results Pages

Increasingly the major search engines are displaying Facebook and Twitter pages of the relevant search term in their search engine results pages. A Facebook page that is properly search engine optimized is an excellent method of attracting free traffic to a business site.

Social media drives SEO.

Facebook and Twitter are the two main social media agents but there are many more. Google+ is being heavily promoted by Google in a determined effort to get a slice of the lucrative pie that is social media. The use of Google+ and Google?s own domination of the search engine results pages will surely see Google+ become a major force in this area of online marketing. If a business develops trust and offers real value to its online contacts it can greatly improve its bottom line.

A business needs to carefully promote itself online; it needs to offer real value. If a business ?keeps it real? in its use of social media the rewards can far exceed anything the offline world could offer. If a business is to survive in an increasingly competitive business environment it simply has to have a prominent online presence. Engaging in social media marketing is at the core of securing a high profile on the Internet. Social media has taken the idea of networking to a far higher level.

Proper Lighting For Traffic & Construction Site Safety

Article by Lydia Quinn

For areas of traffic construction, construction sites or even just home improvement, having proper lighting is crucial for safety, most of all, but also for accurate work. There are many types of lights for every job, here is an overview of traffic, construction and home safety work lights.

Traffic Safety Lights

Whether you?re project is near the street or if you?re doing construction on or near a road, traffic safety lights will be an important part of your project. Common types of safety lights include barricade lights, strobe lights, dome lights or warning lights. It?s important to provide a barrier between the street and any sidewalks or paths and your work site. Placing barricade or work lights around the area to mark it is one way to make sure that no one accidentally walks into your work area and hurts themselves. Work lights usually come in amber, red or orange and in the flashing or strobe varieties. Barricade lights are the most effective for warning a person or vehicle of a construction area ahead, as barricade lights can be seen from a good distance away. Some traffic safety lights come in solar varieties, so that no wiring or extra hookup is needed to set them up. Many traffic safety lights use LED lights, which stands for ?light emitting diode?, LED lights tend to remain brighter, for longer periods of time and thus saves on maintenance costs as well.

Construction and Home Improvement Work Lights

While you may or may not be working on your home improvement projects at night, there?s still a myriad of home projects for which you would need lighting. First, when working in an area of poor or no light, such as a basement, attic or a crawl space in your home. In addition, working under sinks, in cabinets or in dark garages. No matter whether you?re painting, sanding, repairing, laying floor, staining or whatever the project may be, you will need good lighting. A work light will fit the job. These lights are usually portable and come in wattage anywhere from 150 to 500 watts and up. A rectangular light box is placed in a low profile coated metal stand. Some work lights can be placed on a taller stand and just about all work lights are completely adjustable in terms of angle of light. These work lights are portable and can be easily carried from room to room. One disadvantage of this type of work light is that the light will be very hot after it?s been on for a long amount of time, this can cause minor burns if not careful. Though most companies provide some sort of barrier between the light casing and the handle, the light can still be very hot to the touch.

No matter the project, proper lighting is crucial and should be a priority for your own safety and accuracy.

Construction question by : What?s the easiest and cheapest way to get to 75 construction in runescape?
I want to get to 75 construction and im thinking about using stealing creation hammers.
I only have 8mill cash and my construction level is 60.
I do have a crystal hammer is it possible to construct a gilded altar at 70 construction?
Is it worth getting 75 construction for a gilded altar?
If i use stealing creation hammers how many would i need?
And last but not least what would be the cheapest thing to construct?
Thank You.

Construction best answer:

Answer by Jacob
Yes you can make one at 70 construction as long as you have the 2nd or 3rd tier of construction tea, yes it?s worth it since it?s almost as much xp as the ectofunctus and takes much less time, I would say a lot but I can?t say for sure, it would be oak larders since with the stealing creation hammers they are 800 xp and only require 8 oak planks which are pretty cheap. Hope I helped. :)
