The Top 4 Elements Of List Building

Online marketing has developed exponentially these past few years and there are more sites competing in all niches. A visitor to your site may not buy the first visit but with a proper follow up system you can maximize your sales.

By developing a proper opt-in list of people interested in your niche you can protect against changes in search engine algorithms and sell more products to the easiest type of people to sell to - existing customers!

It’s not necessary to sell to your list - you can use your list to drive traffic to your site and collect revenue from adsense or a similar type of advertising program. Without a list you’re not protecting your downside - a mistake few entrepreneurs would seek to avoid.

Many people would think that building their lists would take hard work and a lot of time to build and collect names and addresses. This is not so, it takes a bit of patience and some well thought out strategies. It is well worth that effort!

There are many sources and articles in the internet available for everyone to read and follow in building a list. Sometimes they may be confusing because there are so many different ways. Different groups of people will have different approaches in building an opt-in list but no matter how diverse many methods are, there are always some crucial things you must do.

Here are the top four:

1. A Well Constructed Opt-In Page

Your opt-in page (sometimes called a squeeze page) needs to make a good first impression. An eye-catching title and bullet points of benefits should be immediately followed by a simple and easy to understand opt-in form.

2. Tracking and Testing

It is vital online to test and track your results. However you accomplish this you must test and track your subscriber opt-in rates, headlines, content and click thrus. Without this information you won’t know what works and what doesn’t - why waste your time on something that doesn’t?

3. Provide Good Content and Products

Even if the foundations of your list building are rock solid you won’t keep your subscribers if you email or sell them junk. Take care to provide good content and never sell a product without testing it yourself - you’re leaving your whole business wide open!

4. Keep Your List To Yourself!

Never sell or rent the names and email addresses of your subscribers. Everyone hates spam and your subscribers are no different. They have trusted you and you should respect that trust. Your reputation will depend on it!

Pros and Cons of No-Documentation Mortgage Loans

In today’s marketplace, there are many borrowers who do not fit the traditional mold, especially in terms of their employment, i.e. commission salespeople, self-employed earners, investors, etc. Understanding this fact, the mortgage industry has adapted by creating programs known as no-documentation loans where borrowers qualify on the basis of their credit history without the need to document income and assets. Below are some pros and cons to think about if you fall into this category:

Pro

1. Simple Underwriting

If this is the only loan you will qualify for, there is at least some good news. Because you are not proving anything, there is not much for you to do. Your lender will review your credit history to make sure you qualify. Then, the underwriter will take a close look at the residential home appraisal and your credit profile. If those two things check out, you are usually clear to close.

Cons

1. Higher Interest Rates

Since you are not proving your ability to repay the loan, you can expect to pay much higher interest rates than a typical borrower. Whenever you present a high risk to your lender, you will have to pay more.

2. Larger Down Payment/Less Access to Equity

The more you borrow against your home’s value, the riskier you are to your lender. When purchasing a home under this program, you are going to need a considerable down payment, and when refinancing, you will have less access to your equity.

Although there seems to be more drawbacks than positives to loans like this, they are still your best option if you cannot prove your income and assets. Consider the alternatives and take one if you really need it. Then, start planning on how you can refinance in a few years under better circumstances.

Urbani Truffles - The Real Italian Truffles

Urbani family has been a prestigious and respected - name in the truffle business for generations.
From its inception, in 1850, under the guidance of Carlo Urbani, the Urbani reputation for excellence has been carefully and faithfully handed down from one generation to the next.

As a result, the passage of so many years has served only to strengthen the Urbani name and heritage, as each newer generation blends the traditions, customs and knowledge of the previous one, and adds its own unique sense of enrichment.

Thus the Urbani name maintains its esteemed reputation of pre-eminence, and continues to represent the best in truffle sourcing and processing. Today, the Urbani Group is proudly and effectively directed by Paolo and Bruno Urbani, direct descendant brothers of the Urbani founders.

Each one of these highly dedicated and trusted men serves as the primary conduit through which all Italian and foreign associates make their initial contact with the Urbani Tartufi company.

In addition, Paolo and Bruno Urbani represent the assurance that there will be a constant supply of truffles. The success of Urbani Tartufi, in great measure, has been made possible by the unique charisma and profound knowledge of the Urbani brothers. For both Paolo and Bruno, their greatest pleasure is seeing their truffles, which are found and picked in fertile woodlands thousands of miles away, being served on tables in some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world, or as stunning exhibits in famous shop windows, where they entice shoppers who know and long for the exotic taste and pleasures of a truffle.

Paolo and Bruno Urbani understand that because of the Urbani legend and legacy, they have become an integral part of a highly successful and fascinating world that for centuries has revolved around the delicate truffle.

By providing the world with this rarest of delicacies, the Urbanis understand the economic contract that exists between them and their workers, and between them and their clients. These are contracts that they take with the utmost seriousness and sense of moral obligation. They not only acknowledge the benefit of hard work; they celebrate it.

For this reason, Paolo Urbani received the highest sign of honor the “Cavaliere del Lavoro” - from the President of the Italian Republic. This prestigious title is reserved only for those special (and rare) entrepreneurs who have made a huge economic impact on Italy.

Yama And Niyama

Yama and Niyama, the misunderstood yoga

I think nothing about yoga could be more sadly misunderstood than the principles of Yama and Niyama. As you may already know, according to an ancient and widely accepted system set down by the yogi Pantanjali, there are 8 “limbs” (astanga) of yoga, which are arranged in an order suggesting that they might be steps towards the ultimate goal of union with God. Considering that the translation of the sanskrit word “yoga” is “union”, that assumption seems reasonable. Problems arise however in the assumption that the beginning limbs/steps of yoga are more easily understood. They are certainly the most familiar concepts to us: the first limb being moral restrictions and the last limb being complete merger with God.
The entire list is:

Yama (moral restrictions; “don’ts”)

Niyama (encouraged daily behaviors; “dos”)

Asanas (special yogic physical exercises)

Pranayama (yogic breathing exercises)

Pratyahara (withdrawal of the mind from the 5 senses)

Dhahran (concentration exercises)

Dhyana (contemplation of God)

Samadhi (union with God)

Surprisingly, to me the order suggests levels of decreasing likelihood of misunderstanding what the limb is all about, but for the moment let me focus on Yama and Niyama for a couple of reasons:

A. Practicing them is absolutely crucial to making any progress in yoga

B. A proper understanding of how they work can alleviate a lot of unnecessary fear about them

Yama yoga consists of 5 things that a yogi should not do if he wants to get anywhere with his yoga.

1. Don’t hurt anyone (includes thoughts and words as well as physical actions)

2. Don’t lie for personal gain (also includes thoughts)

3. Don’t take property that belongs to others (also includes thoughts and words)

4. Don’t hoard unneeded things (also includes thoughts and words)

5. Don’t seek personal pleasure from the world (also includes thoughts and words)

Niyama yoga consists of 5 things that a yogi SHOULD do if he wants to get enlightened

1. Do keep your body, mind and environment clean (includes thoughts and words)

2 Do maintain a peaceful/cheerful mental state (obviously includes thoughts and words)

3. Do study spiritual books (ideally involves thoughts, words and action)

4. Do make personal sacrifices for the welfare of others (includes thoughts and words)

5. Do make God the purpose of your life (obviously involves thoughts, words, and action)

There are already plenty of books going into great detail on these points. My purpose is only to point out something about these “rules” that I feel has been sadly overlooked, and that is the tremendously liberating effect they can have. My guru often said “a yogis is a practical man,” and all the limbs of yoga are part of a scientific system designed to bring great joy to the practitioner, not frustration and guilt. Yama and Niyama are not a set of rules set up to make life more convenient for parents, teachers and heads of state. They are a direct tool for the liberation of true intellect. And most amazing of all is that the effects are immediate; assuming you really “get” the principles and practice them in your life. One of the areas where most religion has failed us is giving us the notion that if we behave properly now, we will reap the benefits somewhere way down the road. To paraphrase: good behavior now will give us only frustration in this life and we are left to hope that a reward will come in the afterlife. Some people find comfort in that; most folks, however, are looking for more from life than that way of thinking can offer us, resulting in the completely unnecessary lack of popularity of religion these days.

Back in the 60s and 70s when Eastern religion became very popular in the West, young people got all excited by the more practical possibility of enlightenment, but unfortunately threw the baby out with the bath-water and rushed briskly past moral principles, so they could quickly get on with the veg diet, fasting, yoga asanas and meditation. In my mind, this was a major mistake and possibly the very reason the whole Eastern religion boom fizzled out leaving us with nothing more than commercial yoga schools on every corner. It just doesn’t work like that, and I find it very sadly unnecessary.

Back in those days I told a friend that my take on the various limbs of yoga was that “meditation is what really gets us to the goal and the other stuff just makes the journey more comfortable”. His response surprised me. He said he always felt that “Asanas are the practice that gets one to enlightenment and meditation only gives us a glimpse of the goal.” Well…. nowadays I think a strong case can be made for yama and niyama being the practices that actually get us to enlightenment and the other limbs only serve to flesh out the basic structure set down in yama and niyama. What more could there be to spiritual life than Yama and Niyama? Of course the other limbs of yoga are very important. They are the nuts and bolts, the “how to” of the various points of Yama and Niyama. Similarly, within each of these other limbs (asanas, pranayama etc) there is an ocean of knowledge which must be acquired from a competent teacher.

So, Yama and Niyama are an indispensable base; furthermore an integral part and starting point of yoga, but in those roles they needn’t be seen as an unfortunate impediment to juicing the joy out of yoga. If you check the list of exercise classes at any local gym you will certainly find an asana class, but I doubt you will find a class on Yama and Niyama. You won’t even find one at your neighborhood yoga school, and that is kind of sad to me, because there is so much joy hidden in Yama and Niyama.

I know many men and women who have been regular meditating, asana-performing, vegetarians for 30 years or more and seem no happier or healthier than the meat-eating, couch potatoes living next door to them. How the heck can that be? Did the peace, love and yoga revolution of the 70s send us on a wild goose chase? Few of us would say that I think, so what is the problem then? I used to think it was a lack of determination, but now I think it is a misunderstanding of Yama and Niyama. Nothing can trip up a yogi more than a less than crystal clear understanding of the liberating effects of Yama and Niyama. Determination is certainly required, but in order to make progress we must see results. What sort of results? The same sort of results we have come to expect from a great meditation: peace, clarity, wisdom, a huge wave of relief and dare I say “bliss?” These are our birth right, and the benchmark of a great meditation, but this same joy and peace is right there for us the moment we deeply grasp the meaning of ahimsa (non-injury; the first point of Yama). We might meditate in vain for hours on end accomplishing nothing more than wearing a painful spot into our psyche rehashing for the hundredth time how we might have avoided getting insulted at the office last week; or we might spend the time cleaning up a cluttered room, discover a plant in need of water and thereby discover our true nature in a moment of peaceful clarity.

Now, if any of this has struck a chord with you, I heartily recommend going back to the beginning of this essay, finding the part where I listed the 5 principles of Yama and the 5 principles of Niyama and giving them a good going over, noting in particular my parenthetical comments. See if anything clicks for you. Also, it might be better to think of yama and niyama as practices rather than principles. They make up 2 of the 8 limbs of yoga. If my math is correct, that is 25% of the entire body of knowledge we call yoga, and it is called yoga for a reason. That reason being that it is a science, a very practical and exacting science. Heck, let’s call it technology. It is a bunch of techniques; very specific techniques with predicable outcomes and that is just as true for yama and niyama as it is the deepest meditations. When I first really witnessed ahimsa in action, I felt like I was having a personal consultation with God.

As children, our first experiences of morality were tragic. Parents, teachers, religious and political leaders all exploiting moral principles and our biological tendency towards guilt to manipulate us for their own convenience. It’s no surprise that we reach adolescence with aspirations no more lofty than being free of moral restrictions. Well, I think yoga can offer us much more than that, but we can’t just ignore yama and niyama and expect to get enlightened. We need to grasp their true meaning and practical utility in the pursuit of true liberation, the realization of God in all things. Baba Nam Kevalam.

Preparing for Financial Emergencies

Do you know would you do financially if you could not work as a result of
getting sick or losing your job? What about if your spouse dies? Being
prepared for such financial emergencies is very important. Featured below are a
few simple tips that can help you get ready for unexpected occurrences.

Put money away in a savings account

A rule of thumb we suggest is to save enough money to cover a minimum of two
months worth of bills and expenses. This should be enough time for you to get
your finances back in order in the event of money altering changes in your life.

Use the list of expenses below when determining how much you
will need to save:

- Car payments (loans or leases)

- Rent or mortgage

- Utilities (cable, gas, electric, water)

- Phone bills (home and cell phones)

- Food

- Home, Auto and Life Insurance

- Tuition for your child’s school

- Money for miscellaneous goods and services

** You may have expenses not listed above. Include any cost
that you know you are going to have pay on a month-to-month basis.

Saving money is not that easy. It requires fiscal
responsibility and restraint. You will need to
develop a
budget
, and stick to it. Even if you only can afford to save a small portion
of your paycheck every week, its a start. That money will accumulate quickly by
earning interest.

Credit cards

It is a very wise decision to have a credit card that is strictly for emergency
purposes. This card should have a high limit and not be used for anything other
than urgent situations. Using a credit card is an inexpensive substitute to
spending finances from savings. Examples of emergency situations are unexpected
doctor bills, car repairs, home repairs, etc.. You will need to use your
judgment when determining if your situation is classifiable as a crisis.

We feature a variety of good and bad
credit card
offers
than can be used for covering emergency costs.

Personal documents

It is very important to have extra copies of every type of important
document in the event your wallet is lost or stolen, or your home is damaged by
a fire, storm, etc.. These documents should be securely kept in a safety deposit
box or with a relative that you can 100% trust.

Examples of important documents to make back-up copies of
include:

- Important phone numbers and contacts

- Medical records

- Birth certificates

- Insurance certificates

- Mortgage paperwork

- Car loan and ownership information

- Any type of legal documents

- Wills

- Driver’s license and passport

Pre-determine all of your options

It is crucial that you understand all of the resources, policies and options
available to you in the event of an emergency. Thoroughly go over all of your
insurance policies to educate yourself as to exactly what will be covered, and
what will not. It is also important that you find out what your company’s policy
is for taking time off and for borrowing from your 401 (k). Also, find out
how much severance pay you will receive if you are fired from your place of
employment.

Plan for future costs and expenses

You may be able to foresee a financial crisis. For example, you can estimate
how much it will cost you for regular maintenance and for making car repairs
every year. You may also be able to determine how much money you anticipate
spending on holiday shopping for the upcoming year.

Bottom line, review all extra, non-essential spending. A good
idea would be to keep records of all of your current and past emergency
financial commitments. Any extra evaluating and/or planning is only going to
help you prepare for a financial emergency.

Koi Ponds - Choosing a Great Design for Your Koi Fish Pond

When you think of your perfect Koi pond, what do you see? Do you envision yourself in the middle of a serene Japanese garden, a small intimate country garden, or perhaps something else? Once you have a general idea of what you want in your Koi pond and surrounding area, you can see to it that the dream becomes a reality. Do your homework beforehand and look at as many koi ponds as possible. You may find certain aspects of each design appealing, and can then combine them into something that you’re comfortable with in your space. Below you will see a few design concepts for your Koi pond. Feel free to add your own flair and personal touch to really make your Koi pond come to life.

Japanese Garden

The Japanese garden is one of the most popular design choices when it comes to Koi ponds. These types of ponds tend to have clean lines, and feature many natural elements. Bonsai and other plants are plentiful and large rocks and boulders are often found around the perimeter of the ponds as well as in the waterfall.

Country Garden

Flowers and other colorful plants are plentiful in this type of garden. Your Koi pond can be a classic round design or could flow through the garden accenting different elements of your design. This type of garden is all about charm and ambiance so don’t forget to install comfortable seating for those lazy summer afternoons of watching Koi.

Modern Ponds

Living in a modern space doesn’t have to stop you from having the Koi pond of your dreams. There are some really beautiful ponds out there that go against the traditional pond designs. Some have converted swimming pools into ponds, while others have designed ponds to go into sunrooms or even on the rooftops of apartment buildings.

Functional Ponds

Many Koi pond owners simply want a design that allows them to have the best possible view of their Koi fish. Consider constructing your pond to fit the flow of your yard or space. Walkways can run alongside the pond, seating areas can look out to the pond, etc. Many Koi owners choose to build their pond very close to their home, so that they can view it from the inside of their home as well as the outside.

The choice is really up to you. Think about what you love about your home and space, and then try to incorporate that into your design scheme. Take your time, do your research, and then do something that you can live with for the long haul. Good luck!

Common Sources Of Vitality

When was the last time you thought about the miracle of your body? If you’re like most of us, you don’t pay a lot of attention to it unless it complains. When our body is going about its business, keeping us functioning from day to day, we don’t stop to consider how wonderful it is, nor do we think about all the ways our bodies are supported by simple things we do.

However, in working with clients, and in my own experience, I’ve learned that paying attention to these resources increases the impact they can have on one’s sense of vitality. And since your physical well-being is connected to your emotional, mental and spiritual well-being, by paying greater attention to these aspects of your life, not only will you reinforce your body’s natural healing mechanism when that is needed, but your mental faculties will improve and your spirit will be lifted.

That is why in this article I encourage you to become aware, as often as possible, of the images connected with each of these sources of healing. To do this you may want to sit quietly and simply focus on one or two of these sources of healing. Or you may want to stop once every hour and notice how it is that, at that particular time, your body is receiving healing and vitality. Read this through once and then look it over again, choosing one mini-exercise you will do today and one you will do tomorrow. Tap into these resources every day and you’ll be sure to feel better for your efforts.

Breath

The muscles in your abdomen allow the air to come into your body without any effort on your part. You don’t consciously think about the muscles involved in breathing, although they have been doing their work since the day you were born. They know exactly how to function so that you can take oxygen from the air and use that life-giving oxygen to feed the billions of cells of your body. When the oxygen has been converted to energy needed by the body, the simple act of breathing removes from your body the toxins and waste matter you don’t need.

Mini-exercise on the power of breath

Close your eyes and allow your body to feel renewed and strengthened by the oxygen that is brought so gently and easily into your lungs as you breathe — and by the breath’s ability to remove carbon dioxide and other airborne waste from your body. And then, to strengthen this small but important exercise, what image or symbol could you use to remember the gift of breath?

Food

From food your body extracts energy and nutrients and turns them into healing properties. The immune system would not be able to function if it did not receive nutrition any more than it could function without oxygen. The more nutritious your food is, the stronger your body can become and the better you will feel. Vegetables and fruits, grains and animals provide ingredients for the food you eat and they all contribute their energy to your health.

When you prepare these ingredients with love and participate in the creative process of cooking, you enhance your body’s health and sense of well-being. When you eat at a restaurant and take special care to select only those foods and drinks that both taste good and are nutritious, your body’s healing process is enhanced. And when you are invited to eat at a friend’s house, your health and your spirit benefit from the companionship of friends around the table.

Mini-exercise on the power of food

Close your eyes and allow an image or symbol to form that represents the healing and energizing characteristics of food and eating. Feel a sense of healing power flowing through your body as you focus on that image.

Physical Activity

With exercise you are not only able to better convert oxygen and food into healing energy, you also increase your muscle tone, have better circulation and have more energy for an active life.

Mini-exercise on the power of physical activity

With your eyes closed, picture yourself doing some physical movement, whether that is an athletic activity or simply walking as you go about your daily business. After you have felt your body energized by the picture in your mind, allow an image or symbol to form that represents the vigor and energy that comes from physical activity.

Sleep

Your body needs rest to rebuild cells and tissue that are worn down during the time when you aren’t sleeping or that are depleted by illness or to prevent illness from getting a foothold in your body. And, of course, sleep is also needed for emotional renewal.

Mini-exercise on the power of sleep

Close your eyes and imagine that you are sleeping at night or taking a nap during the day and allow yourself to see, or to sense, all the various systems of your body using that period of rest and relaxation to bring your body back into balance, to restore the energies that get depleted when you are awake and active.

Ordinary Daily Activities

There are a thousand ways in which we are renewed each day when we experience any activity with awareness and focus. The following are just a few of the possibilities:

Reading a good book
Listening to your favorite music
Reading poetry
Being in the mountains or at the beach or just sitting in the backyard or in a park
Joy and laughter and watching a funny movie
Living life with expressions of patience, love, generosity, beauty and all the other qualities of the human Spirit
Going to work, if you can, or if you don’t work, participating in some project that catches your imagination
Creativity and learning
Active participation in a religious faith
Quiet contemplation of the human spirit

Mini-exercise on the power of daily activities

With your eyes closed, reflect for a moment on how healing energy is available in the activities common to every day. Then take a few moments to notice how you might be able to live more consistently with awareness and vitality.

Love and Friendship

When friends express their love for you and tell you that they care about you, your spirit is lifted. And with a lighter heart you sense that your body, in some mysterious way, actually feels better. In fact, when friends share their love with you, it is possible that your immune system gets an extra charge of energy and goes to work even more intensely to keep you well and to heal any part of you that needs healing.

Mini-exercise on the power of love and friendship

Imagine that you are surrounded by all the people who love you and who send you caring energy. . . . Allow an image to form that symbolizes the healing power that comes from each one of them.

How To Qualify For A FHA Loan

FHA loans can qualify you for lower mortgage loan rates, especially if you have poor credit. With a government backed loan, your down payment requirements are reduced, usually to just 3%. In addition the FHA provides help with loan payments if you encounter future financial difficulties.

Who Qualifies For A FHA Loan

The FHA loan program is open to anyone wanting to purchase their primary residence. You need enough cash for closing costs, although this can be provided by a third party, like family, the seller, or grants. You also need steady income to cover your monthly mortgage payment and living expenses. Credit is also a factor in your FHA loan, but you don’t necessarily have to be in good standing. If you are concerned about your ability to qualify, ask an approved HUD lender.

Types Of FHA Qualifying Homes

FHA mortgages can only be used to purchase or refinance a primary residence. You can choose to finance a single family house, multiple family home with up to four units, or a condo. Seniors can also apply for a reverse mortgage backed by the FHA. These are called “Home Equity Conversion Mortgages.” FHA home loans are primarily designed for low and middle income families, so there are loan caps. These amounts vary by location and change every year. It’s best to check with your lender to find out the latest loan limits for your area.

Getting Approved For A FHA Loan

Getting pre-approved for a FHA loan will help you determine how much you can borrow. And since HUD doesn’t establish the rate or closing costs on FHA loans, you should compare lenders to find the best deal. Ask for loan estimates specifically for a FHA secured loan. Then compare rates, points, and closing costs between lenders. When you find the best offer, simply follow the lender’s application process. They will coordinate the paperwork necessary for a FHA loan. While a FHA loan can save you money on interest rates and PMI, you still need to shop lenders to get the best deal possible.
