"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.

All the Best,

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
