20 Bucks and 11 Minutes - Will Change Your Life

By Dr. Jay Polmar

I am sure you know how to read, after all you are reading this article. But just how long will it take you to read this short article. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, longer. Twenty bucks, and 11 minutes of your time will change your life in ways you never imagined, just by reading. You read this right. In just 11 minutes, you will hear about Dr. Polmar's story, and learn 3 secrets to improving your life through .... Reading.

Smart people already know what I am talking about - learning how to use your brain properly so that what you read becomes usable data, and knowledge to help you create greater success in life.

In truth, the more you read of a similar subject, the faster you read that subject. The faster you read the subject that you are familiar with, the more that it becomes a part of your long-term memory. That's why when you first study basic primary school math, and you follow it and study smart, and go all the way through college - math is a thing that you become accustomed to. If you've studied really smart, it's really easy, and you can do some of it in your head without calculator or paper and pen.

It's also the same with reading, yet different. Imagine it this way - you'll learn in 11 minutes how to read all kinds of materials more rapidly with greater comprehension than before, and get what you need out of it. Of course, it a beginners course, but in 11 minutes your increased your reading speed say 60-80% and as you use the techniques over the next few days the speed increase, and so does your understanding and comprehension.

Once you've spent $20 and studied for 11 minutes you will accomplish a great deal. But, what if you learned also, how to read a book for best understanding and comprehension for test-taking or pleasure, and what if you also learn to write a paper for school, or grad school - without stress in 10 days or less, would that make your life easier.

Change your life in 11 minutes for 20 bucks, you really can't lose. Remember also, the more you read, the better you read, the more you remember - that's how the brain works.

Dynamics of Speed Reading

By Dr. Jay Polmar

ACCELERATION THROUGH PACING:

Hand movements can cause you to accelerate your reading speed. We'll shortly teach you hand movements that will accelerate your reading ability. Try each one and see which suits you best.

BASIC PACING:

Pace your eyes so swiftly over a line that you don't have time to form the sounds of the words or syllables in your throat.

To understand this concept, you must understand that your nemesis "The Babbler" (your own inner voice) is reading to you in silent speech and then it goes into your brain.

We did experiments in Hawaii, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your speaking rate will no longer restrict your reading speed. You will read as fast as you can think. Yes, you can read as fast as your mind can work.

What Is Blogging And Why You Should Setup A Blog

By Andrew Egorov

What is blogging and why you should setup a blog at all? Blog is short for web log. So it is basically a way people write comments on the internet for others to read about. People use blogs to help others keep track of what is going in their lives. For instance years ago people would send out newsletters in different times of the year like around the holiday season.

But then they found out that they could promote products in their writing. And they started using them to promote their websites. So at first people used them for personal and social reasons but then they started using them for their online business.

One of the ways people use them is to create a blog and promote affiliate products. These are products from other people not your own. You earn a commission each time you help create a sale of that person's product. A blog is a great way to do this plus unlike websites you do not need to pay for hosting space with a blog.

You can use your blog to do a product review about the affiliate product or you can simply talk about how the product has helped you and how it can help others. You put a link in your online post to the product you are promoting. People then click on the link and go to that page. Since you are signed up with that product owner as an affiliate you get a link with an identifying tag so the product owner knows that you sent the customer to his site.

If you are starting out with your own product online starting a blog is also a great way to get started rather than having to build a website. Building a website can be a challenge for those who are just starting out. But it is easy to build a blog. There are many blog hosting companies online where all you do is create an account and follow the steps to building a blog.

There are easy steps to follow. You can pick your own template. In no time flat you will see your professional presence online with no time spent on trying to build a website.

The great part about a blog as far as the search engines are concerned is that if you make posts daily to your blog the search engines will rank you favorably because the search engines like fresh and new content.

So if you have an online business and you do not yet have a blog start one today. Even if you have a website you can benefit from a blog because you can always link your blog to your website. All the new traffic to your blog will be interested in going to your website for your product information. You will increase your sales no matter how you choose to use your blog.

Is Branding Your Business Something You Have to Do?

By Art Basmajian

It may not be the only thing which will help your business succeed, but branding your business is unquestionably something that you should do if you want your product to stick out. It's not a tough concept to grasp. Actually, if you think about it, do not you have favorite product brands that you patronize more than any other? It might be something as easy as your favourite drink, or something more expensive, like a diamond ring. If it has a trustworthy brand, you are much more likely to buy it than a common product.

More Than Just a Mark

Unfortunately, most people think that branding your business is as easy as putting a trademark and coordinating colors. It is not, although these things are integral in the process of branding. The point is when you put a symbol or a logo, or try a color combination, it has to mean something and it has to be something that may represent you. This illustration will help folk identify your product, but as significantly, it'll help them identify with you.

Do It Properly

Branding your business is more frequently than not an one-shot deal, there are very few chances for makeovers once the branding has stuck, so it should be a well thought out plan. Study your market well and approach them accordingly. The more you know about your market, the less complicated it would be to get them on your side. If the 1st impression that your new market will have of you and your brand isn't as you would have wished it to be, you could be in for a little bit of trouble. If you have heard the term 'damage control', be advised as early as now that it also suggests 'additional troubles.'

Know Your Target Audience

In the procedure of branding your business, folks will know that you are an expert in what you are selling and will trust your opinions on which products to buy . This is why if you'd like things to go smoothly, you may speak the language of your audience. Like selling software, for instance. There are several technical terms that'll be familiar to someone that has been around them for a while, but not all of your clients or consumers will know all these terms and how they are used.

Learn the 'layman' reason for the terms that you will be using. You don't wish to be branded as a snob by the people whom you are trying to sell your products to. On the other side of the coin, if you are selling to an 'elite' crowd of software users, you should be ready to be battered with technical terms.

You're Being Branded

What you must also note in branding your business is that your business also will be branding you. You'll be tying your name, your personality, and your expertise to everything that your company does. If things go well, it'll go well for both you and your business. If it does not, then you will be identified with the failure of your business for good.

Select the people that will work for you and with you well, and always ensure that you and your team are on the same page. A rogue employee can cost more than you think, and many companies have failed because of the actions of just one man. Ironically, this is the indisputable fact that makes branding your business critical as it means that you have enough trust in your product or the services that you offer that you are going to stake your name and reputation on it.
