"How to Stop Marketing Backwards Achieve Results Now"

February 22, 2012

Stop Marketing Backward


It's been my experience that having a small or no Marketing budget forces you to become creative, sometimes you learn this on your own quickly and other times you have to suffer through wasting your whole Marketing budget with little or no results. Below are a few suggestions that may save you some time and money:

Step One:

When you hear complaints from people who've tried going into business on-line and failed, the chances are that it’s not that their efforts were wrong, they just weren't practicing effective e-commerce marketing techniques. Where many of the Internet marketing center and programs you can fail the average business person. They give an introduction to different ways you can promote your business on-line, but they only go that far and stop. They don’t give in depth information about how to tweak these techniques to make them work for you, and what to do if they don’t seem to be working.


Step Two:

There’s only one real secret to effective Internet marketing: Re-evaluate often and change tactics when necessary. Most sources of information you’ll find on Internet marketing urge you to try many different models of promotion. Traditional ads, pay-per-click marketing, search engine optimization, joint ventures and a variety of other magnificent suggestions for ways to get your product or service out in front of those who would need or want it. So you’re introduced to all these various modes of marketing.


Step Three:

Then many people think that’s all the information they need, so they jump in with both feet, blow their budget on pay-per-click advertising or some other expensive promotion. The reasoning is that the profits made from this promotion will replace the funds spent and even increase them for the next advertising campaign.


Step Four:

Unfortunately, it rarely works just this way. Very often a person will put these e-commerce marketing techniques into effect all at once hoping for a significant return, but instead microscopic happens and now there’s little budget left to try again. While there’s nothing wrong with advertising campaigns that cost, like pay-per-click marketing, this type of promotion isn't right for every business, despite what the expert might say. And it’s hardly useful Internet marketing to start out with pay-per-click spending.


Step Five:

Where most fail is that they don’t carefully monitor the response of every type of e-commerce marketing techniques they have in place. Effective Internet marketing isn't done once and forgotten, left to work behind the scenes to generate enormous profit. It’s an evolving process, one that takes regular adjustment and change to be truly successful. And you actually can begin this process without spending very much money, and sometimes without spending anything at all.

Step Six:

Aim for the lower cost forms of marketing first. Article marketing, for instance, and filling a blog with fresh keyword optimized content to attract good search engine ranking effective Internet marketing and a great start. Yes, you’ll want to optimize your web content, even if you have to pay someone to do it correctly.


Step Seven Avoid this out if you can:

But hold off on the expensive pay-per-click campaign until you see which keywords and which articles and blog post are referring you the most customers. Then put your money where your customers are, in essence, but creating a pay-per-click campaign based on results you've already seen with other methods.

Conclusion: 

Effective e-commerce marketing techniques require you to reevaluate all of this often because your best keywords can change even from day to day.

How to understand what Rosacea Symptoms Are use this Solution

February 21, 2012

Rosacea Symptoms and Solutions


Of all the pain and indignities that come with Rosacea, few are more debilitating than going through your day with a red face.

Rosacea stings. The itching. The prickling heat. But the embarrassment of being always seen with that redness, and the fact that it usually hits the one area of the body that you just can't hide � the face � is just too much.

You can take some consolation in knowing that you're not alone. An estimated 14 million Americans suffer from rosacea, including some prominent figures. Bill Clinton, Mariah Carey and Rosie O'Donnell. Do those names ring a bell? They're all prone to rosacea.

According to the National Rosacea Society, 74% of rosacea sufferers have canceled social events because of an outbreak. That's a shame. More than that, it's unnecessary.

Rosacea Relief Serum is a scientifically formulated and highly efficient solution to rosacea. There is no cure for rosacea, but there is the relief. The makers of Rosacea Relief Serum believe you can minimize the symptoms of rosacea and prevent outbreaks in the first place with a little knowledge, self-awareness and proper planning. And in this article, you learn exactly how to do that, and why Rosacea Relief Serum is the best way to minimize and ultimately banish rosacea entirely.

To begin with, let's take a closer look at some common symptoms of rosacea. They include:

  • flushing
  • redness
  • bumps and pimples
  • visible blood vessels
  • eye irritation
  • burning or stinging
  • dry appearance
  • skin thickening
  • swelling


Note that these symptoms don't always appear and once, but an outbreak will always include at least one of these symptoms. Of the millions of Americans who suffer from rosacea, many are unaware that they're susceptible. You're more at risk for rosacea if you have fair skin and are prone to blushing. Rosacea occurs more often in women than men but hits men with greater severity.

Rosacea primarily affects the face, with redness on the nose, skin, cheeks and forehead. Occasionally it will appear on the back, neck or chest.

While the cause of rosacea remains unknown, several theories exist. One theory is that rosacea is a disorder of the blood vessels. Another is that rosacea is an impairment of the connective tissues under the skin. In any event, we do know many of the factors that trigger rosacea, including:


  • sun and wind exposure
  • emotional stress
  • hot or cold weather
  • heavy exercise
  • alcohol consumption
  • hot beverages


Solutions for avoiding a rosacea outbreak? There are several. The obvious ones are to avoid these triggers. Sometimes that's possible, and sometimes it's not. You can't control the weather, but you can control your alcohol intake, or of hot beverages. You can use stress management techniques to manage stress. And you can limit heavy exercise.

Having said this, it's not always practical to avoid rosacea triggers, nor is it enjoyable if you like coffee or the odd glass of wine. Moderation helps of course, as does your basic physiology. If alcohol triggers your rosacea outbreaks, use discretion.

You might also do well to seek medical advice. A doctor can prescribe medications that reduce rosacea symptoms. Sometimes these are effective. There are also surgical procedures, in which surgeons remove the blood vessels responsible for redness in the nose and face. Emerging technologies involving lasers might help as well.

A less intrusive method, however, that's just as efficient and more affordable, is Rosacea Relief Serum. Scientifically formulated with the latest in skin-care technology, including Renovage�, which is clinically proven to reduce symptoms of rosacea in 90% of patients, Rosacea Relief Serum reduces redness, inflammation, spider veins and the embarrassment that comes with them.

What's more, Rosacea Relief Serum is specially formulated for people with hyper-sensitive skin, meaning it won't trigger an outbreak. You'll also find Rosacea Relief Serum may prevent outbreaks from even starting. All this without the need for a doctor prescription and the inflated bills that go with it.

Rosacea Relief Serum reduces the symptoms of rosacea and makes people feel good about their skin, their face, their life. Combined with the self-awareness of the symptoms and triggers of rosacea, it's an effective, unintrusive and affordable way to a rosacea-free life!

Fight Redness With Rosacea Relief Serum

February 18, 2012

Fight Redness With Rosacea Relief Serum


Rosacea and facial redness are proof that life's not always fair. While some of us go through life with clear skin and not a facial worry in the world, others trudge forward with that dreaded redness. And the burning sensation and the itching.

The problem is made worse when you consider that people prone to rosacea tend to suffer from sensitive skin. Anything can trigger an outbreak whether it's sunlight, the wind, stress or spicy foods. That's not an exhaustive list, mind you, but it includes some of the more common triggers of facial redness in people who suffer from this embarrassing condition.

Who suffers from rosacea, and what is it for that matter? Well, rosacea is a chronic condition of facial redness. And it's most often experienced by Caucasian women between 30 and 60, although it can hit men as well. You're more vulnerable to rosacea if you're fair-skinned and easily blush.

Those who suffer from rosacea can certainly attest that it sucks. And for those it hits most severely, outbreaks can be hard to avoid.

Fortunately, you can avoid rosacea outbreaks and facial redness with Skinception Rosacea Relief Serum! Because it's formulated for people, like you. Who suffer from weather changes, stress, and foods that can cause redness. Skinception Rosacea Relief Serum is clinically proven to:

  • reduce redness
  • fight inflammation
  • fade spider veins


And the news you're looking for: Skinception Rosacea Relief Serum may prevent outbreaks from occurring in the first place. All thanks to an efficient and proven formulation of active ingredients that soothe and calm.

Here's a taste of what you can expect:


Boosted Skin Barrier Function – People who suffer from rosacea tend to have skin that's easily angered by many skin care products. That's why we've formulated Skinception Rosacea Relief Serum to protect your skin with natural ingredients like green tea extract, so you're not at the mercy of common rosacea triggers.

Reduced Skin Sensitivity – More good news for rosacea patients, there's less redness with Rosacea Relief Serum, because it's designed to calm the blood vessels just under the skin that are so easily inflamed. Better vascular health, better protection against free radicals, better skin sensitivity, and yes, less redness.

Fights Inflammation of the Blood Vessels – Repeated inflammation can age the skin as the blood vessels lose ability to dilate and contract. Then the walls of adjacent blood vessels break down, resulting in spider veins, blood pools, and damaged skin function. The good news? Rosacea Relief Serum prevents inflammation of the blood vessels, for visibly healthier skin.

Less Premature Aging – All that redness takes a toll on your skin, as repeated inflammation can damage the collagen matrix and hasten the aging process. Rosacea Relief Serum is specially formulated to reduce that redness and even stimulate collagen production.

As they say, the proof is in the pudding. In this case, the pudding is Renovage®, an active ingredient in Rosacea Relief Serum that, in a recent clinical study, reduced redness in rosacea patients by up to 90%, Barrier integrity improved by 58% and skin texture improved in at least 75% of study participants.

That's the kind of difference that reduces redness and prevents outbreaks in the first place.

Don't let rosacea ruin your day. Try Skinception Rosacea Relief Serum and be proud of your skin!

What is Synchronicity, What Effects Has It Had On You

February 15, 2012

We all from time to time, we all experienced coincidences that seem to create a form of a special meaning for us and has defied the laws of probability as well. As for an example, the phone suddenly rings from an old long lost friend, for some unknown reason you were just thinking about that person. Or something that you have been dreaming about all of sudden appears in your life. The word Synchronicity was denoted by a Swiss psychologist named Carl Gustav Jung a word that would describe moments of meaningful coincidence.

When we develop an awareness and attention to a coincidence moment, we have experienced it will allow us to grow as humans on this subject. When we concentrate on a particular topic or a phenomenon, then the object of our attention will become stronger. This principle is imperative, because the more we become aware of meaningful coincidences in our life's, the more we will encounter them.

We all have this incredible ability and have no idea how to use it. We all understand that things in our thoughts have a meaning or a relation to an experience we have had. Then we suddenly realize that we had dreamed the nite before actually has happened or reminded you of an event. If you take a few seconds and think about something that had no meaning at all, but the more you thought about it, the more it made sense to you. It takes a time to understand how your mind works.

Why when we sleep, do we dream about things. Then when we wake up, we think about them dreams, thought's, we had that night. Have you ever wondered why you had that dream or thought when you were into a deep sleep. The sub-conscience never sleeps, it allows our thoughts to grow and become who we want to be.

Our whole life is surrounded by views, coincidences that have an important reason on why it occurred. There has been much speculation on this theory, All due to that particular number of the apparent coincidence that will take place in various areas of our lives. I honestly believe there is a reason for an event to occur, it had to do with a factor in your thoughts for it to have happened.

I will give you an example of why l decided to write about this topic. Friday night l was driving home, listening to different talk shows on the radio and flipping back to the music stations when l got bored. I looked at my cell phone and picked it up, why, not so sure; it started to ring, l answered it. It was one of my closest friends l have; we began to talk. He started to talk about a dream he had, that night. As l listen to him, l began to think about what he was saying, knowing he never has been to my house, but he was describing where l lived like he has been here a million times. After he had said all he had said about his dream, l had to ask him one question, have you ever been to my place. He said no, l told him what l though, he asked my why l asked him if l knew the answer already. I said you had just described this area like you been here and the event you shared with me happened three years ago.

Nothing but silence on the phone, then l heard oh my god, your kidding me. I asked him if we ever shared what he just told me to him before. The answer was no. Then l went into detail about the event he described, and he said the same think again, "Oh My God," This blew my mind, knowing that things have a reason for being brought up....

-Have you ever had or experienced this type of event in your life if you have shared it with us.

-Tell us how you felt, what your thoughts were.

Persuasion or Manipulation

February 14, 2012


Do you ever notice that for some people it seems so simple for them to have anyone they associate with to more often than not support their ideas? They appear to have no problem in turning their ideas into real action. Most of these people tend to persuade others to get the results they want. Or do they manipulate others into a situation to (or “intending to”) getting what they want?

Have you ever thought about this for any length of time?


Persuasion is an art in itself, where people position themselves to generate real value for others. You have to have a range of skills to do this, things like having personal credibility, the ability to win over other people's thought processes and beliefs, along with being able to overcome resistance. Most people without realizing it draw on these skills on a daily basis, they just don't always realize it.

Someone once said that the best way to shape the future or to develop your future is to influence it. But to shape that future, it must be done ethically, and there must be the mutual gain for those involved. It becomes manipulation when you do this for personal gain only, if you are doing things for personal gain, then you're not adding value to yourself or anyone else. Typically you are likely to even being unethical or using unethical tactics to manipulate others for personal gain. It will destroy your reputation and credibility in a very short order.

You know the old saying: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Taking this into consideration, I believe one key factor to persuasion is to "listen to others as you would have them listen to you" This not only will improve your relationships but it will build trust with others. When people feel that they have been heard, they then feel that their opinion is being valued, and then they will become more open to considering your point of view and your ideas.

So if at times you feel that you may be manipulating others into your point of view, maybe consider sharpening your "persuasion skills" so that you can add value to others and in turn be able to take your ideas and turn them into valuable business outcomes for the benefit of everyone involved. Sometimes a little education to gain some additional knowledge can take you a long way.

Engage~Inform~Educate it will add to your credibility as well as increase the value to everyone you associate with: persuade rather than manipulate

Why You Shouldn't Ignore Acid Reflux

February 12, 2012

Why You Shouldn't Ignore Acid Reflux


As if you didn't already have about a thousand reasons to exercise, eat right, maintain a healthy body weight and lead a health-conscious lifestyle, there's yet another reason it's important to live well. Gastroesophageal reflux, also known as acid reflux, may pose serious health hazards.

On a related note, Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is a safe
and natural therapy to treat a common cause of acid reflux and reduce the pain that it causes. And similarly, just as acid reflux may signify that all's not well with the state of your body, Reflux Elimination System may be a wise investment for your health and your comfort.

Before we go further, we should define acid reflux as a chronic condition in which
hydrochloric (stomach) acid escapes through the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and enters the esophagus. Symptoms include:

  • heartburn
  • burping
  • ongoing hiccups
  • A chronic sore throat
  • abdominal pain
  • regurgitation


More About Acid Reflux


While it's not uncommon to experience these symptoms sporadically, if they occur twice a week or more you have acid reflux disease. Risk factors include being overweight, pregnancy, eating large meals or lying down after a meal.

Notably, acid reflux can also be caused by lack of digestive enzymes. And for that,
Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is ideal.Let's look closer at acid reflux and why it's important to pay attention to this common yet potentially dangerous problem, and how Reflux Elimination System may be the solution you're looking for.


Among other things, acid reflux may lead to:


Esophagitis - Prolonged reflux can irritate the tube that connects the throat to the stomach, a condition called esophagitis, which can result in further erosion and scarring.

Esophageal Stricture - Esophagitis can also cause scar tissue to narrow
the esophagus in a process called a stricture. When this happens, large pieces of food can get stuck and may require surgery for removal. Structures can also cause weight loss and make it difficult to swallow.
Throat/Voice Problems - One of the lesser known symptoms of reflux,
patients with acid reflux can develop hoarseness, voice problems, chronic sore throat and the sensation of a lump in the throat.
Breathing Problems - Reflux can make asthma or pneumonia worse if stomach
acid is inhaled after it's regurgitated and can cause shortness of breath.

Tooth Decay - Stomach acid is supposed to stay in the stomach. If it's
frequently repeated, it can erode the enamel of your chompers. In a study conducted by the University of Alabama, 40% of reflux patients had advanced tooth decay.

That's not an exhaustive list either. Among other things, acid reflux can cause ulcers, esophageal cancer and lower quality of life.


How Reflux Elimination System Can Help


Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is formulated with the latest in digestive research to treat a common cause of this debilitating condition. The cause is the lack of digestive enzymes. And it's an ongoing problem for patients with acid reflux.

Don't worry, there's relief from your pain. But unlike conventional reflux medicines, like antacids and proton pump inhibitors, Reflux Elimination System is designed to treat the cause of reflux rather than just swatting at symptoms. Treat the cause and you reduce the problem. Or just eliminate it entirely.

Reflux Elimination System is a natural therapy, of acid control, enzyme renewal
and ongoing support with the superfood chia. There are no drugs involved. Rather, natural ingredients to nurture your digestion and find the right balance of acid and enzymes in your stomach, for comfort, pain relief, and ongoing digestive health.

Don't reach for antacids - if you've got acid reflux, reach for Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System, get your health back and feel good about life!

"How to Control Your Negative Emotions Earn Respect"

February 10, 2012



Have not written an article here at APSense for awhile, been busy here watching all our new members making a real effort on learning what APSense has to offer. Understanding this concept will enhance your overall performance here or at any other "Social Business Media site."

We all know and understand that negative emotions will prevent you from communicating at a level that is positive. We all should have learned from teenagers caught up in the throes of puberty, rather shocking and scary at times but very real. They become heartbroken; they stop thinking and withholding their thoughts from you. There is a difference here; the teenager has what they call a hormone imbalance to blame. We as the adult have one thing to think about, what is our excuse?

We as adults have no excuses at all; we are all capable of success it is there for all of us to seek it and have that burning desire to understanding the "ART" of controlling your negative emotions. The keys phrases to fully understanding this concept is know the following areas where we all can control. Learning not to be afraid is a vital step, learn to take risks in whatever you do, experiment it like a scientist until it works.

Now we as humans have one very server problem will all naturally have negative emotions that can control our abilities to think clearly. Hate to say this but l also have them, you can learn how to identify these negative emotions, control them and thoroughly revise them into positive opportunities, as try each and every day. It is just another obstacle in your daily routine, so turn it into a positive situation.

We all need to understand this very vital step, once we have mastered this concept, it will enable us, to become leaders, not followers. Why would follow, when you can lead!! APSense is a very creative marketing "Social Business Media Site," we provide all the resources, tools for your marketing success. When you generate positive energy into your success, how can you fail.....learning this formula that is true; a winner.

Will provide you with the energy, that you will need to be a leader with online marketing, this is hard work, why most fail at it. They take it too lightly, and never learn how the features work, so how can you benefit from it. Positive energy, good work ethics, setting time to focus on your goals will provide you with positive results and overall success.

APSense will have an entirely different look, l know one thing, we took a long time to make finally it happen for one simple reason we have the reason for making revisions. We just do not do them. When we do it, all members benefit if they learn how the system will help their efforts.


My final point to all who reads this; is do you have the right stuff, l think we all have that ability, only one small but a enormous problem. How many does it, understand it and realize the full potential of why we did it? Yes tough question, but the only person that can answer this, would be "YOU".

How to effectively Use Personalized Postcards

February 10, 2012

A very powerful tool, in your business marketing approach of maintaining customers for life. One of the most difficult tasks to handle, why because it takes great discipline here to accomplish this next step. The reason l say it's hard, is because you have just left to go on vacation with your family, wife, girlfriend or whoever you left with. Not imperative who you're with, What is important is the steps you will need to make this vacation into a real working vacation.

It doesn't matter what type of business you're involved with. What is important is the ability to build client loyalty is no easy feat. You need to be able to romance your customer for as long as he or she is your client. A very complicated and long process before she or he buys from you, it may take up to five years or more, depending on what you're selling. We all know about sending out little "reminder" postcard to remind the client that it is time to do business with you again. Nothing new about this process, would you not agree. Those techniques will stimulate some interest and perhaps turn into new found business.

Now let's take the topic of Personalized Postcards to the next level. When you leave for a vacation, in additional to all of your luggage bring your list of clients with you and a big stack of postcards. Well, you're on the plane ride to your vacation destination, instead of catching some sleep or reading a magazine. Start addressing your letters to your clients and write a brief personal message on the back of each postcard.

The Postcard may say something as simple as.

Hi Mr. Client,

I was here sunbathing on the beach in Cuba and l was just thinking about you. When l get back, I'll have a present for you.

Regards,

Your name


You can fill each and every postcard the same simple way, the moment you land all you need to do is buy local stamps and send the postcards off and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

What's the present? The present is something simple, an inexpensive little gift that you will have to buy for all of your clients you sent a postcard to. When you give your client the gift, it will strengthen your relationship with one another, and also provide you a reason to drop by and see if they want to do some business. Its pretty slick and it works.

How to Romance Your Client Well Achieving Rewards

February 7, 2012

Developing the Art and understanding how to create a personal relationship with your clients is such a dynamic and cost-effective method of retaining your customers for life. Let's all agree on one critical cost factor here. How much did it cost us, to obtain this client? How easy is it, to lose this client? Now that we have established a dollar value on our client, each client came to us with some form of advertising. Each time we advertise there is a cost involved, knowing the value of each client is understand the term we use for getting a bang for our advertising dollar.

Believe it or not, your customers are not just looking for the "lowest price" when they're deciding to buy (regardless of what they say).

There are many deciding factors to be taken into consideration, such as "how well do they like you". Here is an example. If you were competing for business at your best friends place of business and a complete stranger were competing against you, who do you think would win?

Unless you were running a very second rated business and your best friend knew it, you would more than likely win. Here is Why this would be this would happen! You have a personal relationship with him. He already knows who you are, what you're all about and to some extent has confidence in you.

Now let's take the next step. If you could show or provide ways of making your client, your best friend. You would create a competitive edge over your competition and more than likely win his trust, resulting in a sale. When your client knows you and what you have to offer, it becomes a personal transaction among two people who know each other. Why it is so critical to establishing a bond with your clients, as l covered in my topic regarding my NEWSLETTER Your customers already feel at easy, because they have knowledge of your company and what you can provide and do for them base on your past track record.

One very simple step to establishing a personal relationship or as I like to call it, romancing your client. How do you romance your client is by sending each and every client a personal letter or a simple thank you note. Personal letters create an existing personal relationship with someone. A personal letter allows you to have a conversation with the reader (we all know it is one-sided). Provides you with the perfect opportunity to update the text with any new information you want them to have.

Think about this situation in some of them old war movies we have all watched. The part where all the soldiers are standing around the mail person as he hands out the mail. Each soldier stands up excitedly waiting to see if he got a letter from home.

The moment he gets his message, he tears it open, founds a comfortable spot and reads each and every word over and over again. People love getting personal letters. People just love reading about other people's lives and what is going on with their lives. Think about the last time you got a personal letter, how did you feel? It has been a real long time has it not.

It's a very useful tool for keeping your clients romanced and building trust with one another. When was the last time you got a thank you letter for an item that you purchased from a company. What You can't recall, so is it not the time for you to take this very simple step, and making it work for you. This very simple step will provide you with one of the most competitive advantages your company can buy over your competition.

The Rewards You Will Achieve By Using Argan Oil

February 3, 2012

An Introduction to Argan Oil


Take a deep breath when you read this: there are over 10,000 industrial chemicals in common skin care products. The average American adult is exposed to 168 hazardous chemicals each day. And everything applied to the skin, be it lipstick or deodorant, sun block or general skin care products are absorbed by the body, just like they'd been eaten.

Remember that scene in the second season of The Simpsons, in which Mr. Burns ran for Governor, and a three-eyed fish, affectionately called "Blinky," mutated by the pollution from Burn's power plant, came back to haunt him?

The natural skin care movement gets stronger by the day, folks. And one of the more prominent players in this industry is argan oil. From the deserts of Morocco.


What is Argan Oil?


Argan oil is an oil and popular natural skin care supplement, valued for its cosmetic properties and medicinal uses. Among other things, argan oil is used to:

  • moisturize the skin
  • fade wrinkles
  • fight acne
  • heal skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis
  • strengthen finger nails

Argan oil is an extract of the Argania tree that once covered much of North Africa. Today the tree is endangered and grows only in a UNESCO protected biosphere in Morocco. And considering that a liter of argan oil constitutes a full season of output from a single tree, argan oil is both rare and highly prized.

Moreover, the composition of argan oil is of particular interest to the anti-aging industry and consumers looking for a natural alternative to everyday skin care products. With a hefty dose of fatty acids, antioxidants, polyphenols and a skin-loving 200% more vitamin E than olive oil, you can see why argan oil has been used for over 3,500 years, health and beauty.


A Closer Look at Argan Oil


Argan oil is versatile. In fact, many consumers dabble a small amount in their hair after a thorough cleanse, to treat split ends. You can also use Argan oil to fade stretch marks, strengthen fingernails, reduce wrinkles and those fine lines from the sun.

A closer look at Argan oil reveals traces of:

Vitamin E (Tocopherol) - A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E reduces harmful free radicals and protects the skin from sun damage. Vitamin E also improves the skin's ability to retain and use water.

Essential Fatty Acids - These keep your cells healthy and your skin plump, with the ability to re-form after stretching.

Oleic and Linoleic Acid - Essential for their anti-inflammatory properties and to help heal the skin.

Antioxidants - The body's warriors that protect the skin from free radicals, sun damage, chemicals and pollution. If Blinky the Fish had more antioxidants, he might have avoided that trademark third eye.

Polyphenols - Protection from UV rays and aging from sun damage, polyphenols are anti-inflammatory and fight free radicals.

Squalene Oil - With similar functions to olive oil, squalene oil is a natural moisturizer, a powerful healer and is ideal for people with eczema and psoriasis.


Should You Use Argan Oil?


If all this has your attention, and you're excited about argan oil and its many uses and healing properties, know this: you're looking for argan oil in its purest form.

Indeed, it's not uncommon for some of the larger skin care brands to dilute argan with additives and preservatives. Sometimes these products have more than 20 ingredients. All of which dilute the product and reduce the real things that argan can do.

Having said that, argan oil is called "liquid gold" for a reason. It's rare, it's potent, and with a track record over three millennium, it's proven.

If you have dry skin, sensitivities to common skin care products, frizzy hair, wrinkles or stretch marks, or a general interest in natural skin care, then yes, argan oil holds value and is worth your purchase.

But remember that you're looking for pure argan, undiluted with preservatives that degrade argan oil and the magic it does. Your best bet is to purchase argan oil in its pure form, from a major skin care name with minimal use of parabens and with discount packaging.

To that end, you might consider Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil, which offers the power of argan oil with the comfort of the Skinception name with a proven track record, live customer support, discount pricing and a firm, money-back guarantee.

Great Expectations are Expected With These Scores

Great Expectations


It's a story l came across and decided to share with you all who read it l thought it was rather funny and had something to offer us here at Apsense, but only you can be the judge. I hope you enjoy it, and it made you smile all that matters.

On the first day of school, a teacher was glancing over the roll when she noticed a number after each student name, such as 154, 136 or 142.

"Wow! Look at these IQ's," she said to herself. "What a super class." The teacher promptly determined to work harder with this class than with any other she ever had.

Throughout the year, she came up with innovative lessons that she thought would challenge the students because she didn't want them to get bored with work that was too easy.

Her plan worked! The class outperformed all the other classes that she taught in the usual way.

Then, during the last quarter of the year, she discovered what those numbers after the students name were: their locker numbers.

The lesson here is very simple if you have the attitude from the start you can pretty much accomplish anything you want to settle so never your goals or desire little if you think who you are you will become who you think you are it's all in your mindset. It all started because she thought that they were top achievers, and she didn't want to disappoint them, and she believed and convinced herself that she had to apply extra effort. It is all how you see yourself will determine what you can accomplish in life so never settle for anything less than you deserve.

How to Use The Power of Kindness and Giving

February 1, 2012
A particular kind of happiness can be found by fulfilling the wishes of others - it can be considered a way of paying it forward.


Helen Keller said:

"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy: it is that which we think and feel and do first for others than for ourselves."

Reflect on that as you go through this posting because kindness and giving to others is about creating hope, visions and dreams of a future. Our culture, at least, the way I see it in western civilization is not so civilized anymore. We have become a society of entitlement with a "me-oriented focus". It has become less and less of others with a more consistent approach to ME.

The truth is we don't seem to give enough anymore - no kindness - no compassion - no caring. What kind of values do we have if we do not care for our fellow man? If you want to be happy, then practice a giving and caring compassion for others. If you wish to live life to the fullest instead of just 40 or 50 percent of your true potential then offering gifts of kindness to another human being will create a sense of your real worth and value, which in turn acts as a fuel for the desires, dreams and visions of others.

Kindness and giving can be contagious, and it will draw people towards you. We live what we learn, and if we are not teaching the next generation to be better, to be considerate, to add value to others then this world of "entitlement and me only" will just worsen.

Consider this, with persistence and patience each on their own, can do their part one person at a time. To offer a gift of kindness and to teach others to do their role and within a short period we can be back to the world where we care and give to our fellow man for the betterment of all humankind.

WE can be the stuff that dreams are made of by offering to others so that we are the stuff of their dreams come true. It is not about giving each of us our pat on the back for doing small acts of giving and kindness. It's about our generosity being strictly anonymous and pure with no desire or expectation of acknowledgment, reward or anything in return.

Remember the most successful and the most fulfilled are those people who care and show giving to others for the mere satisfaction in the happiness they bring others.

Jss Trippler and the Ramifications

January 30, 2012

I'm not going to make too many friends with this article though I been thinking about the ramifications of Jss trippler. And then it hit me.


If Jss tripled your investment, then that means somebody in your downline had to pay for that. Maybe you are an excellent marketer, and you are doing quite well with the program. In a triple up the system, there will always be 2/3rd of people who will not make any real money with Trippler. So how does it make you feel knowing that the majority of your downline will not make much money and maybe even lose some money?

It may be legitimate and legal, and you are doing well with Jss Trippler! Who am I to tell you what to market on the internet? I'm not the FDC! I'm just an honest God fearing man with a conscious that wonders about how my actions affect the world.

I don't have everything I want though I have a big vision. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. You know these are tough times for many people! Last night I was walking downtown Miami near the metro rail! I saw the homeless population that has almost tripled in the past couple years.

One man who stuck out from the rest. I felt like I had to talk to him. Turns out this homeless man is smart and he was reading a bunch of books. This guy was one of the casualties of the collapsed housing market. I gave him something for breakfast and come to find out he was a vet. I told myself when I am ready I will come back and help these people rise out of poverty for those that are willing to work for it.

I think the best programs are ones that people can offer real services or products in exchange for a fair amount. Ultimately the best businesses are ones where you work as a team, and everyone is helping each other to succeed. Knowing that if I help you grow I will grow as well.

If I sold something to somebody, I want to be able to talk to them six months from now, and they tell me thanks for helping them. Guess what I made a customer for life if I can accomplish this goal.

If you are doing well with JSS right now I believe you can do well with many different things! Don't put all your eggs in one basket even if you're getting golden eggs right now! Those Golden eggs might be rotten later.

If your Not doing good with Jss be careful not to sell yourself short. There are lots of great opportunities out there! Just step out of the box and think Big. You can find your unique niche. If you can do business on helping other people prosper then, you will grow beyond your wildest dreams.


The new domain I been building this week
It is not for everyone though I am a strong advocate for the environment
So this works for me perfectly Please have a look


This article was written by Ken Miami Water, via APSense Social Media Business Site.

After reading this article l decided to share with my loyal followers of my blog, l feel it is important to share this type of information with all who have and are thinking about joining Jss Trippler Thanks, Joseph Botelho.

What Can You Do To Make Yourself Unstoppable?

January 29, 2012

Most of us have kids, and at times we see them playing video games, l mean for hours. You know why they play for hours, not because they are winning, but because they are losing. They are doing all they can, to get to the next level of that game, and then they get sent back to square one. They do this over, and over again, trying to achieve the next standard of the match. Where they made a mistake or a wrong turn, they take the approach and the challenge with a new strategy.

Let's talk about our Kids

Let's think about this here for a minute, kids learning, and teaching themselves to get to the next level over and over again, is this not what our life's as adults is all about. We as adults, give up way to quick, just because we made a wrong turn, and fell flat on our face, and got sent back to square one. How come we do not approach our mistakes as kids do, and start all over again, and apply new strategies to get us where to want to be.

They Understand what they are doing

One of the biggest reason l never get upset watching my kids and friends playing video games because l know one thing they are learning problem-solving skills, and experimenting with different approaches, they're gain confidence but most of all having fun but yet learning life strategies.

They Take one step at a time

Each time they get to next level of that game, they will have to repeat the same process over and over again. The ability of not beating or winning that game never even enters their mind. Wow; kids have this ability to tackle problems, and face them over and over again and yet we as adults, we have a tendency to hide from our obstacles in everyday life.

They Understand How to Start over

So the next time you have an obstacle in your way and you're having a real hard time with it, think about your kid or any kid playing a video game and how he approaches the obstacles that sent him back to square one. He thinks, and decides to apply new found strategy to his new approach, how we should also as adults approach our let downs, never allow the thought of defeat even enter your mind.

Their Magical formula 

If you approach each obstacle with this mindset you going strength your conviction, raising your expectations and then you will conquer your fears that have held you back for so long. The more you apply this formula, the easier it will get, and you will recognize each small victory along the way making you stronger and you will start to believe in yourself like never before. How you make yourself unstoppable one small victory after another.



See kids do have the ability to teach us, we just have to understand how they think, they have no boundaries in life defeat never enters their minds. So the next time your kids are playing a video game learns from them by watching what they do.

What is (NLP) - Neuro-Linguistic Programming mean to You

January 28, 2012

We all have seen NLP all over the Internet, but very few know what it stands for or what it can do for you. I was reading a post today on of my groups, and Dora brought this topic about how her mentor provide her with a book for her to read and learn from. Also being a loyal member of the Neuro-Linguistic Programming, since the late 1990s. I decided to share some of the questions and answers to NLP from the, "A Pocket Guide To NLP."

A brief description of what NLP is. The study of human excellence. By identifying in others the essential characteristics of exceptional talent, successful attitudes, and empowering beliefs, you can learn them yourself. NLP was first developed in the early 1970s by an information scientist, Richard Bandler and linguistics profess, John Grinder. From their studies of successful people, they created a way to analyze and transfer human excellence, resulting in the most powerful, practical psychology ever developed.

Questions and Answers About NLP

Q. What is NLP?


A. Its the state-of-the-art set of communication methods for enhancing personal and professional development and for creating personal change gracefully. NLP is also described as "software for your brain"- allowing you to tap automatically into the kind of experiences you want to have.

Q. What can NLP do?


A. It lets you model or copy, human excellence in any form. With NLP, you can identify what makes someone exceptionally skilled, and get that skill for yourself or teach it to others. NLP can help you become adept in whatever is important to you, whether that means getting along with your family and co-workers or being more efficient on the job.

Q. Where is NLP useful?

A. NLP is valuable wherever human communication skills can enhance results - in business consultation, management, negotiation, education, counseling, therapy, relationships, parenting, nursing, public speaking, sports performance and many other areas.

Q. What kind of results can l get with NLP?

A. NLP can allow a therapist to change the impact of the past on a client, a teacher to change a poor speller into a good speller, a business person to gain rapport non-verbally and to run meetings efficiently, an athlete to improve concentration, and more.

Q. Is NLP a therapy?


A. Although NLP can be used as a method of treatment, the application is much broader. Even when used as treatment, it's a process of teaching people how to use their brains. Most treatment is remedial, that is, directed towards solving problems from the past. NLP goes much further to study excellence and teach skills that promote positive change that generates new possibilities and opportunities.

Q. Will NLP change the way l think?

A. Probably, NLP is a model of how the brain works. When you understand what yours can do, you ll probably want to use it to greater advantage.

Q. Does NLP deal with emotions?

A. Yes! One of the things NLP does best, NLP helps people transform debilitating emotions into empowering, resourceful feelings. Since many therapies are very slow, based on catharsis or "venting into your emotions," NLP offers a much more pleasant, effective way of dealing with emotions. We assist people in going through old memories in new ways, quickly transforming unpleasant experiences into productive resources.

Q. Can you use NLP on yourself?


A. Yes. You can use some NLP patterns with yourself immediately. Includes: changing your feelings, learning a new thinking strategy, changing habits, motivating yourself, and more. Other patters/techniques are primarily useful in working with others.

Q. Is NLP manipulative?

A. Since NLP is so powerful in getting results, people want to know that it will be used to benefit them. Our trainings emphasize ways to make sure the changes you help someone get are in her or his best interest. Knowing NLP gives you ways of protecting yourself from manipulation by others or the media.

I hope l have been able to provide you enough information about NLP, for you to understand it more and be able to decide if this is the type of program will improve areas of your everyday life, which you have wanted to improve or change. No one but yourself will be able to answer them question it is up to you to decide what is best for your well-being. Whatever you choose to do, always remember a program is only as good as you choose to use it, without commitment then it will never make a difference in your life.
