The simple answer is because it will help to sell your product or service.

The first rule of any sales process is that you must provide something free for your potential customers. How many times have you been to a website because you are searching for a particular product. And how pleased are you to find that some of the information you want is available free? Very pleased.

So, imagine you are selling a book on dieting or a service such as plumbing.

When visitors come to your site they want more information about your product or service. You put some of it on the web page but the main focus of your web page is to sell the product or service.

Most visitors will not buy on the first occasion. They need, we are told, up to seven visits before they will buy. In the meantime they are off looking at other similar products or services.

But suppose you can offer them something for free at your site. Something that is relevant to the product or service you are selling?

Write an article about your product or service. It doesn’t have to be very long. It should be helpful. Include some pictures if you can (digital cameras make this much easier now). Give them a free diet sheet; a list of ‘best’ foods; show them how to change a tap washer or how to stop a leak.

But, most importantly, keep on telling them about all the extra information they will find in the product or service you are offering on your sales page which will help them even more. And put clickable links in the ebook so they can visit your sales site quickly and easily.

Advertise your free report or ebook in the articles databases and in forums. But make sure that when anyone wants a copy of your free ebook they have to click on a link which takes them to a webpage where you ask them for their email address. Don’t just give the ebook away. Get something in return. We all expect this and we know we are then going to get a series of follow-up emails promoting the buyable product.

So, You now have a list of subscribers. You can put their email details in your autoresponder and send them at least seven follow-up messages. Instead of each visitor going to your site 7 times, you have gone to them and reminded them about your site seven times. But you have also come across as a real person and one who is interested in them and can help them with your product.

How? Because you are writing to them giving them more free information and you are talking to them like a real person. You might even be asking them if they have any particular problems you can help them with.

You can stay in touch with these people for as long as they remain subscribed to your autoresponder, to keep selling your own or other people’s products.

As a result of writing your ebook:

You can promote your own product or service.

You can promote other products or services related to your own and for which you are an affiliate.

You can get your name associated with a particular product or service.

You can become recognised as an expert in a particular subject.

You can create a massive list of people who will buy any other products you have to sell.

And those are just some of the reasons you should write an ebook and give it away for free.

Although owning a business can be one of the most profitable situations for people, it can also be one of the most difficult of situations to prove to a lender when you want to secure a mortgage. Yet, you can definitely qualify for a mortgage loan if you are self employed, when you follow these tips.

Tips For Approval For The Self Employed

1.-Have the best credit that you can have. Credit will be one of the determining factors in this type of loan and therefore you should make sure that your credit looks as good as it can. Pay down debts that you have, make payments monthly and establish good credit history with several lenders.

2.-Make a down payment. Some of the best loans for those that are self employed start with a significant down payment. If you can make a down payment at 25 percent or more, you will have little trouble getting the right loan for you.
3.-Consider incorporating. By becoming a corporation, the liabilities of your business rest with the business, not with you personally. You also can say that you are an employee then with a W-2 which will help in securing a mortgage loan.

Provide Proof Of Income

Take with you your tax information and make sure to tell lenders that you can prove that you have income over the long term. For example, if you have been in business for five years and each year you have made the same or more than the last, this can help to show lenders that your income is stable even though you are self employed. Having records of this is helpful.

Having references or a spouse that works with their own income can also be beneficial means of securing a mortgage loan for the self employed. Chances are good that you can secure these loans when you have proven that your income is stable.

Description of the Bowen Technique.

The Bowen Technique is not easily described by comparing it with other forms of massage or bodywork modalities. It is an entirely unique system of neuromuscular repatterning and works primarily through the nervous system, most notably the autonomic nervous system, to effect both the structural and energetic levels of the bodymind.

A Bowen treatment consists of very precise and gentle (no more than eyeball pressure), rolling movements across muscle and connective tissue. These gentle, strumming movements have a balancing effect on the bodymind and stimulate the energy flow within it.

Bowen practitioners must know the correct anatomical positions for each of the moves, as well as develop their understanding of the structures underneath the skin, in order to know what areas to treat and exactly when to make each move.

A Bowen practitioner must also be able to evaluate tissue tension, the amount of stretch there is when moving tissues. An interpretation of tension must be evaluated during each move. This is what makes Bowen Therapy a dynamic rather than static form of bodywork.

Please join me for the next segment of my article about Bowen Therapy - Intuition

Holistic MindBody Therapy, including pure essential oils, are gentle, noninvasive complementary forms of health care for balancing and synchronizing your body, mind and spirit and a natural, safe and effective way to enhance your health and well-being. Holistic health care often produces satisfying results where other methods have failed. Please consult with your physician regarding serious health concerns and do not attempt to self diagnose.

Today’s highly competitive work environment requires experience, dedication, and education in order to compete and succeed on a level playing field. A college bachelors degree, which was once an option, has now become a necessity for those who wish to find success and continue to move ahead in their career of choice.

But for some, earning that degree can be extremely difficult because of work or family obligations; driving to and from a school environment and sitting in class can be next to impossible to achieve. In these cases, the opportunity to earn a distance learning bachelor’s degree can put a college degree back into the realm of possibility for nearly anyone.

A distance learning bachelor’s degree is earned just as a traditional bachelors degree aside from the place it is completed. Just as traditional college students choose classes, pay tuition, purchase books, and complete course work outlined by the class syllabus, distance learning students are required to do much the same.

The only difference is the manner in which the course work is completed. Those earning a distance learning bachelors degree choose the classes they need to receive a predetermined number of credits. They also pay their tuition by the semester and are often required to purchase books based on the syllabus set forth by the professor.

However, the work completed in the process of earning a distance learning bachelors degree is done on the student’s own time and in a place that is convenient and comfortable for them. Often, the class professor will outline the course work that must be completed throughout the course of the semester; the time and manner in which the students complete it is reliant upon them.

Because of the popularity of the distance learning bachelors degree, many online universities offer the opportunity to earn a degree in an ever - widening list of subjects - everything from management and business to communications and finance. No matter what your course of study, chances are you can have the opportunity to earn a distance learning bachelor’s degree.

However, it is imperative that you do your research regarding distance learning courses to be sure that the degrees that they offer are accredited. The U.S. Department of Education offers an online college search option allowing prospective students to determine the level of accreditation held by the school. Some traditional colleges and universities also offer an online component through which non-traditional students can earn a distance learning bachelor’s degree at their own pace.

The traditional college or university setting is not for everyone; in this day and age of busy work and family schedules, more and more non-traditional students are looking for ways to receive an education in a manner conducive to their lifestyle; and educators are taking notice. Today’s students luckily have access to a variety of educational resources - including the earning of a distance learning bachelor’s degree - from the comfort of their own home; making education within reach to all manner of students.

When you list your home for sale, the objective is to get the most money in your pocket as possible. It seems intuitive that you would get the most money by paying the least money to get it sold. Reality, however, is that you get what you pay for.

Your listing options run the gamut from putting a “for sale by owner” sign in your front yard to signing with an agent who will list your home in the Multiple Listing Service and possibly online to choosing a Realtor who will market your home. Any of these approaches can get your home sold, but how quickly it sells and how much you ultimately receive for the sale of your home can vary widely.

I used to have an income tax preparer named Bill who had been doing taxes for individuals and businesses for many years. In other words, Bill had a lot of experience. Best of all, Bill was cheap, and I enjoyed the value I thought I was getting every year when he did my taxes, particularly since I have a fairly complicated tax situation with two businesses, employees, retirement accounts, etc.

One year I happened to take a tax planning seminar that gave a lot of advice in those areas. When I asked Bill about some strategies recommended at the seminar, he told me that those strategies really wouldn’t save me any money in the long run. I decided I should get a second opinion on my overall tax situation, so I had my return processed by both Bill and a local accounting firm. Bill processed pretty much the same return he had done for me for years.

The accounting firm, however, had me bring in a lot more information than Bill ever had requested. I had several meetings with a CPA for my businesses, a tax attorney for my retirement accounts, and their respective assistants. Needless to say, when I got their bill I wasn’t happy (they bill by the hour)….. until I saw the tax return they prepared for me. To my delight they found several areas where I was overpaying. They were able to save me so much money that all of a sudden their fee seemed reasonable.

At first I was upset with my old friend Bill. But then I realized that I pretty much got what I paid for. Bill was doing the best he could with his available resources and charged me accordingly. My new accounting firm, however, had a vast amount of resources and were able to really spend the time my situation demanded. In the end, yes, they cost me more to prepare my taxes, but they also saved me money.

I mention my tax experience because selling a home has many similarities to preparing a tax return. Marketing a home involves so much more than just picking a price and sticking a sign in the front yard. The more resources employed in marketing the home, the faster it will sell.

When a home sells faster the owner almost always gets a better price since the market has not had a chance to beat that price down. The owner does not get worn out after months of showings, nor is the owner paying interest, taxes, insurance, and utilities for this home month after month waiting for the sale.

So what is the difference between one real estate firm and another and what is the difference between one agent and another? And how can that affect your financial and emotional outcome when selling a house? I will discuss in depth many different ways a home can be effectively marketed in the next article “Lack of Effective Marketing” - Part 3 of Why Listings Expire.

People can be so crazy. They want a simple weight loss plan and then don’t follow it. What they really want is an outrageous weight loss plan, something that is going to melt fat like butter over a burning hot stove. Does such a plan exist?

It might, but when you burn something fast you will undoubtedly find yourself suffering from mental and physical “burnout” someplace not too far from the starting gate.

Not the ideal weight loss result you’re looking for.

A good alternative should be to warm things up and then increase the heat slowly, taking the furnace up a few extra notches, pacing yourself, so when you do reach the top level of acceleration you’re absolutely ready for it.

So back to the beginning: What is the simple weight loss plan? Begin by examining your surroundings. More specifically what 3 things in your home environment are hindering your weight loss progress? Could it be you’re watching too much TV? Does your home look consistently scuttled or untidy?

Are there too many goodies in the pantry for late night snacking? The first part of the plan is to remove any obvious roadblocks. You do this by first identifying those things in which you know are not conducive to maximum weight loss, and then eliminating them completely.

Next step: Organize your energies into laser-like precision. Think of a glass filled with water. Think of that same glass as your daily energy storage tank. Once that water is gone, so is your energy. You must realize that you have limited internal resources to draw from daily.

We all have limitations. A finite amount of energy is one of those limitations. So then, how important is losing weight to you? Very important, you say, well then make certain you have enough energy to do the physical exercise necessary to reap the weight loss results you desire.

Quick tip: do your exercise when your energy is at optimum level. For many this can be first thing in the morning.

Last step: Progression. Commit yourself at the very beginning to doing a little more tomorrow than you did today. We’re talking about exercise. The more you do, the more you can do. Plan on paper. Think big. Write down big goals. Take those steps necessary to achieve those goals.

Here is the simple weight loss plan creed: It doesn’t have to be hard. You just need to stay consistent.

According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 112,340 new cases of colon cancer will be diagnosed in 2007. About 52,180 people will die from either colon or rectal cancer this year. Even though the number seems high, deaths are actually decreasing.

New screenings that detect polyps that can be removed before they turn into colon cancer may be one reason that the death rate has declined in recent years. But fewer cases have been diagnosed as well. This could be because of improvements in diet and exercise for many people. A bad diet and a lack of exercise are two risk factors.

The risk factors, according to the American Cancer Society are:

* Age: More than 9 out of 10 people are diagnosed with colon cancer are 50 or older.
* A history of polyps: Even if they have been removed, they increase the risk, especially if the polyps were large or if there were many.
* Two diseases, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease cause inflame the colon create ulcers in the lining. If a person has either disease, her or she should begin screening early in their life.
* Family history: If a close relative has had colon cancer, especially before he or she was 60, the risk is increased.
* Diet: A high-fat diets seems to increase risks.
* A sedentary lifestyle: People who get little exercise have a higher risk.
* Obesity: This also contributes.
* Smoking: Recent studies show that smokers are 30 to 40 percent more likely to die.
* Alcohol, particularly heavy use has been linked to colon cancer.

Many people who are diagnosed early during a routine screen may not have noticed any symptoms. According to the American Cancer Society, as it advances a person may experience:

* Stomach pain or cramping
* Diarrhea, constipation or other changes in bowel habits
* Blood in the stool
* Bleeding from the rectum
* A change in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool that lasts for more than a few days
* A feeling that you need to have a bowel movement that doesn’t go away after doing so
* Bleeding from the rectum or blood in the stool (often, though, the stool will look normal
* Cramping or steady stomach pain
* Weakness and tiredness

Treatment for all types of cancer is also improving. Many patients are treated successfully with surgery. Surgery will remove the tumors or the polyps. Many patients also require chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

The American Cancer Society has a treatment tool worksheet on its website, www.cancer.org, (Alexa) to help you determine which treatment is best for you. You need to consult with you doctor before making any decisions about your treatment. Your personal physician is always the best person to help you decide how to treat your colon cancer.

Weight loss magic pills. Are they real, or just marketing hype? Good question. The answer may shock you. But first a definition of “magic pills.” For the purposes of this article we will define “magic pills” as any supplement, herbal or otherwise that assists greatly in the effort to lose maximum weight. Got that? Assists greatly.

So then, are there really weight loss magic pills? In a word, yes. There are herbal supplements on the market that do produce an enhanced effect for your weight loss goals. However, they do not work alone.

They do not work, unless you work. They do not produce any marked change, unless and until, you begin a weight loss program of some kind. Be it something as simple as walking, plus a slightly restricted eating program, or a program of much greater involvement.

Such as four day a week gym trek and a full-blown personal eating revolution.

Whatever it is, it has to be something. There is something synergistic that happens when you engage in rigorous physical activity. You invite all types of chemical reactions, most of which are good. Moving your body stimulates your metabolism.

It boosts blood flow. It forces oxygen to circulate through you. It even alleviates many minor aches and pains. So it stands to reason, that these reactive occurrences would then help your diet supplement-your magic pill-do its job much better and easier, than if you took something and did…nothing.

Synergy defined, is several elements working together. Nothing in this world, good or bad, happens without something else, and in many cases several other things, happening all at once.

The so-called weight loss magic pills are then demystified, because they aren’t magic at all. They are chemical compounds that, when mixed with your own body’s working chemicals, produce a synergistic, accelerated weight loss effect.

Yes, they work. But you must agree to work right along with them.

For centuries, one of the most popular things to do around one’s home was to create a garden. Gardens were filled with flowers, plants, or food, and they provided enjoyment and sustenance for the homeowner.

The tradition of gardening continues to this day as gardens of all types and shapes can be found around nearly every home. Some gardens are small and might even fit on a windowsill. Others are much larger and can occupy a significant portion of the property.

Some gardens are obviously more than a haphazard collection of plants and flowers, they are planned, organized, beautiful, and often thematic; and those gardens are the product of landscape gardening.

Landscape gardening has origins that go back centuries and to different continents. English gardens of the 18th century had many elements that are associated with modern landscape gardening.

English gardens (or landscape gardens as they were known in England) often revolved around a pond, and would have small bridges and pavilions that were used as vantage points.

In the Far East, Japanese and Chinese gardens were prevalent, and remain popular to this day. Eastern gardens typically had stone features, and like English gardens they often feature water, bridges, and a pavilion.

However, landscape gardening is not limited to those styles, and the evolution of the craft has taken many turns through the decades. Modern gardens may incorporate the features of their ancestors, but they can have a personality of their own as well.

Landscape gardening not only embraces elements of gardens past, but also demonstrates many aspects of architecture as well. Attention to color, line, scale, and texture all must come together to create an aesthetically pleasing garden.

Good color schemes typically match similar colors to other similar colors, such as warm reds to warm yellows, and cool blues to cool greens. Warm colors tend to excite the senses and attract attention, while cooler colors are likely to have a relaxing effect (perfect for a mediation garden!).

Another classic element of architecture that gardening requires is attention to the line. The line of a design relates to the way a viewers eye follows the groupings of plants and border areas.

Smooth flowing lines or abrupt straight lines can impart a different feel and elicit a different response from those who are viewing the garden. Texture and form are closely related to the concept of the line.

Form relates to the prevalent shapes in your garden, such as triangular conifers or rounded bushes, and texture is predicated by the way various plants work together to create a look, whether that look is soft, course, or something in between.

Once you have established your selection of plants and flowers, and your textures and forms, you can compliment those items with a hardscape that is fitting with your tastes.

Fences, walls, stonework, fountains, statues, and gazebos, they are all hardscape items that are integral to landscape and they will help provide your theme and focal points. Install those items first and then fill around them to create a wonderful garden.

Landscape gardening remains popular not only because of its beauty but its function as well. Not only can a garden provide solitude and harmony to your home, it can help augment the best parts of your property such as a great view or wandering creek.

A landscape garden can also be used to block out undesirable views, or to cover parts of your property that are not as appealing. Ultimately the direction you go with landscape gardening is entirely up to you.

By adhering to the classic lements of landscape architecture, and finding a theme and texture that compliments your home, your foray into landscape gardening is sure to provide you with enjoyment, relaxation, and added value to your home.

The magic weight loss formula is a mixture of diet, exercise, and motivation. It’s like a cocktail, of sorts, a potion that when mixed together in the right way can make weight almost disappear. It can shrink that annoying waistline once and for all. It can shrink your belly, and firm up your thighs.

It can give you more energy than you’ve had in years. It can make you a social butterfly, and the life of the party. Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, unless you already are a social butterfly. But it will perform a miraculous change. It can do all of this, but there is a hitch.

The magic weight loss formula takes effort on your part. It takes a master decision. It takes a commitment to action. Nothing in life is free, as they say. If you’re prepared to give effort, your return can be ten-fold, or perhaps more.

If you create, and then hold to a future vision of a newer, thinner version of yourself, your return for your efforts may end on the side of the angels. You may very well be unrecognizable to your friends and business colleagues.

If you are prepared, then step forward and embrace the magic weight loss formula.

The magic weight loss formula consists of three parts:

Diet: You don’t have to change your eating world, as the “experts” might have you believe. You only need to scale back the bad foods (mostly the fast food and late night snacks) as you progress.

For example, for your lunch hour begin preparing meals at home and bringing them to work. That’s a start. From there, eat smaller portions of the bad foods, until you can reduce them completely, except for one cheat day a week.

Exercise: We’re not lazy people, there’s just so many things to do. If you can make time for brushing your teeth, you can make time for exercise. Get up a half hour earlier every morning and do 20 minutes of exercise.

It can be any exercise, including using that info-product you bought on late night TV (Who didn’t?). It doesn’t have to be a struggle. It just has to get done. Remember, I said commitment? We aren’t trying to move a mountain.

Motivation: This is where you make or break your success. If you can discipline yourself to keep an inspirational book of some kind by your bedside and remember to read a chapter a night, you will stay on track. If you cannot, chances are pretty good you won’t stay on course.

Yes, it takes motivation to, um, keep yourself motivated. That’s pure irony for you.

Magic is slight of hand. You thought you saw something, but it was only an illusion. The magic weight loss formula is real. It has real power. It has true staying power. The only variable is you.

Make a personal commitment to yourself and begin, right where you are, right now.
