    Rules for Responsible Article Creation

    July 10th, 2008

    These rules apply to any advertiser creating media, whether it’s articles, blog posts, or video blog entries. But I’ll write it to apply to responsible article creation for Adam Schultz, my WebSourced colleague.

    For the advertiser seeking to create articles the rules are fairly simple: know your strengths and know your audience. It may help if you think of your current clients, and potential clients, as your audience. I will refer to clients as audience for the rest of this article.

    Know Your Audience
    In particular, know what issues plague your clients from day to day. If you sell pizza ovens then consider who’s buying your ovens. These are people who run kitchens.

    Knowing this you know that they also manage employees and money. They also face market pressures such as low carb. They also have to clean their ovens, which is tough in itself.

    All of these issues that the pizza joint manager faces would make great articles. Here’s a list of titles that this little brainstorm suggested to me:

      How to Motivate Your Employees to Upsell Pizza Sizes
      When Success Hinders Growth: Making Time To Expand Your Pizza Joint
      Getting Expansion Loans for Your Pizza Business
      How One Pizza Joint Rode the Low Carb Craze and Prospered
      How to Make Your Pizza Ovens Sparkle Like New
      10 Tips for Cleaning Burnt Cheese Off Pizza Pans Faster Than Ever Before
      15 Crazy New Gourmet Pizza Recipes

    Understanding your audience’s buying cycle can also help you in creating content.

    Know Your Strengths
    As a pizza oven seller online you might not know much about upselling from a medium pizza to a large. But you do – I promise – have some lodes of information that can apply to the pizza business. Hunting out where your experience and expertise converges with the pizza oven business is a matter of:

      a) knowing your personal strengths
      b) having conversations with your customers

    Conversations with your customers will reveal many many ideas for more articles/blog posts/tools (yes tools – especially web based – are some of the strongest link builders out there… so watch for tools your audience might need.)

    Develop a series of questions that will uncover the vacancies in your audience’s current media. WHAT?? I mean uncover what questions your audience/potential audience has and create media (write articles/blog posts/video blog entries) that answer these questions.

    So What’s A Responsible Article?
    A responsible article is one that focuses soley, completely and entirely on solving a particular problem your audience faces. This article, while intended to influence the audience by suggesting behaviors or strategies that might help them, does not seek to influence the audience in a way that will benefit your company.

    An irresponsible article is one that is intended to sway the audience into an action that primarily benefits the advertiser.

    So How Does this Benefit My Bottom Line?
    If you’re writing responsible articles (creating responsible media… remember this applies to all advertiser created media) that aren’t intended to sway the audience into buying your products then what the hell are you doing writing articles?

    You’re proving, through your free sharing of valuable information, that:

      a) you’re trustworthy
      b) you’re an industry thought leader

    So how does being found a trustworthy thought leader affect your bottom line? It lays the foundation for a long and successful career, no matter what the industry.

    The COSTA Las Vegas Manhattan – Does Not COST A Lot

    July 9th, 2008

    Why does everyone look forward to a holiday in summer and not the autumn when the weather is damp dismal and gloomy? Why not winter when freezing weather conditions prevents us from leaving the home? Why do people leave a summer behind to go abroad on holiday when all the flowers and bud cascading blossoms are in bloom. Why when the birds sing? Well let me tell you, people have waited all year round scrimping to save to give the family a holiday but due to work commitments and kiddies schooling people are forced to travel when the system says so.

    Okay so our options are zilch on when we travel but what the system has no say on is what we leave behind and that is all our cares and woes.

    A fortnight away on holiday lies ahead, two weeks of pure relaxation, eating, drinking, partying, dancing, golfing and sailing. The sheer thought of sunbathing on a hot sun kissed beach toned to a perfect bronze is a fabulous way of forgetting all your troubles even if only for a short while.

    Kiddies clubs scattered all over with fully trained staff to keep the children out of harms way and happy. Just like the water and theme parks. Appetizing gourmet meals served up daily to suit every palette. Fast food outlets dishing up french fries and burger smothered with lashings of ketchup. Steaming red hot lobster shrimp and crab eaten while over looking the azure ocean. A chilled cocktail sipped while the romantic setting of the evening sunset disappears.

    Dancing till dawn can take its toll increasing the yearning for the tranquillity of secluded coves. Peace and quiet can be found all over especially on the well maintained golf courses. Hotel staff offer top quality service, comfort is first and foremost on their list of duties while attending to your needs. Hospitality and history of their native culture is shared with you if asked.

    Nightly sing along sessions with famous faces and karaoke for all those who love to take their voices to the extreme. Water sport activities for the fast and furious who want a piece of the action, all this surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. A definite feel of Manhattan comes through strong with the stream line of hotels that run along the palm tree promenade. The glitzy colourful neon lights brighten up the skies; eat your heart out Las Vegas and not forgetting their very own Monte Carlo area with its casino. If nightlife is what you seek then put Ibiza on hold.

    None of the above tickles your fancy then surely a night at the palace may just do the trick. The tricky part is where to look for a holiday that has worldwide destinations included in the price.

    Where is this palace you speak of. In BENIDORM of course?


    Health – Depression & Broken Heart

    July 9th, 2008

    You don’t have to suffer in silence. In most cases of panic attack, it usually starts with depression. A female reporter in Hong Kong who successfully juggled the demands of writing for publications around the world suddenly suffered panic attack. She often had panic attacks as she was overwhelmed by feelings of isolation, hopelessness, inadequacy and failure. She would always excuse herself and pretended to have urgent private calls to make so that she could get out and calm down.

    A cartoonist for a famous Japanese magazines; suddenly hit a dry spell in 1986 and she was afraid to get out of bed in the morning. She stopped eating and lost seven kilos within a few days. She was left without getting any assignments for a month and spent her time lying in bed, smoking and drinking and was overwhelmed with thoughts of dying. Both the female reporter and cartoonist were suffering from clinical depression.

    There are millions of people like them and they kept the illness to themselves. In Japan alone there are more than six millions people suffering from depression according to Dr Takahashi Toru of the Toru Clinic in Tokyo. It is estimated that one in 13 people aged 24 to 64 suffered from depression according to a study done by Singapore National Mental Health survey.

    We seldom hear about depression just thirty years ago but the world is different now. People were different then, but presently many human beings have lost their value of life. Many have lost their conscience and killing is everywhere. People live in fear from many kinds of threats and even in the comfort of their homes, danger is there. There is no peace even to just go marketing for fresh vegetables. A bomb may explode anytime, anyplace.

    Financial security is one of the main causes for depression. Jobless people or those hardly can make end meet, are usually victims of depression which can after some time of suffering start to have panic attacks. Depressive disorders range from dysthymia – low grade, chronic depression – to bipolar disorder, or manic depression, which causes extreme swings between depressive lows and manic high. Depression remains widely misunderstood and sufferers lead a double life. One minute full of confidence and another minute worse than a little mouse when panic attack. Depression is a taboo among Chinese and if people know that you are depressed, they will avoid you.

    I should say broken heart is the worst mental blues and almost everyone gets the blues once in a lifetime. Those who have not experience it are lucky or maybe they have never fallen in love before. They will not be able to grasp the anguish depression brings. It’s so emotionally intense that it paralyses you and says one sufferer, “You never know when it will end, the pain is so overwhelming that you want to end it all.”

    People will sometimes give advice with the best intentions for broken heart but says Siti Mohammad, a young female accountant who has lived with depression for much of her life: “Sometimes my relatives will tell me to look at the positive side of things. They say, ‘You have to be strong and believe in God.’ They make it sound as if I could just snap out of it. If it was that simple, I wouldn’t be like this.”

    Depression is often inadequately treated or not treated at all because the truth of broken heart may not be admitted by the sufferers. For instance, many Malays believe the emotions lie in the liver and will complain about stomach soreness rather than admit to depression. Among the Chinese, the heart is often seen as the source of emotions, so they complain about chest discomfort. Singapore National University’s Kua says these cultural factors lead to misdiagnosis or no diagnosis at all in as many as one-third of cases.

    For the elderly, physical ailments can mask symptoms of depression (it is often confused with Alzheimer’s disease), and there is a belief, even in the medical community, that depression is simply a fact of an older person’s life. According to a study conducted in the 1980s by Dr Lee Aik Hoe, president of the Malaysian Mental Health Association, showed that three-quarters of people who had attempted suicide also suffered from depression.

    Rose Lee’s depression nearly killed her. As a teenager, she tumbled into a black pit and said, “I was severely depressed – the pain was terrible. It seemed logical to kill myself.” Richard Ng of Kuala Lumpur said he lost his father to suicide. “He displayed signs of depression – being withdrawn and losing his appetite – signs that I recognized but did nothing about, but when he committed suicide, I was shattered.”

    The road to recovery is a tough one but it can be treated. If it is not because of broken heart, then the chances of recovery is good with medication. If it is because of broken heart, then there is no medicine that can cure a broken heart. There are many drugs that physicians can prescribe and certain antidepressants really work effectively so as to allow the sufferers to get on with life. But drug may have side effects like insomnia and sexual dysfunction, professional help is advised in such a case to take the right type and also avoid the risk of taking an overdose.

    One of the best rescues is interpersonal and cognitive counselling. Therapy can help to change a patient’s thinking and reappraise their external circumstances. Interpersonal therapy focuses on specific-related problems, while cognitive therapy tries to counter the feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness that plague those who are depressed. In Malaysia the “Befrienders” is doing an excellent voluntarily job to make life worth living. The 24-hour helpline, modelled on the Samaritans in the United Kingdom, is one of the oldest services in Asia. It has more than 200 volunteers and fielded 24,000 calls a year.

    Suicide is a grave sin according to spiritual teachings in almost every religion. Certain religion says that if a person commits suicide, he will also commit suicide for his next seven future lives. I had a relative who committed suicide many years ago. She was one of the most beautiful women in my hometown and married to one of the richest men there. Very fortunate during her younger days because of her beauty, but when her husband passed away early in life, she was cheated of everything she possessed by a conman who only wanted her properties. Unable to take the pain of her broken heart and loss of all her possessions, she took her life.

    T.A Chew had gone through a very severe broken heart in 1993. Fortunately six months before it happened, Goddess of Mercy showed him a miracle and he realized that Heaven loves him more and it is unconditional love. He understands very well the pain and it is only through doing good deeds and meritorious works that broken hearts can be mended fast. Website: http://www.white-sun.com

    Sales Training; Key to Selling Must be in the Minds of Your Sales Force

    July 4th, 2008

    Most sales trade experts will agree that the key to selling is to manage your time properly and concentrate your efforts on those folks, which have an interest in what you and your company can do for them. If the prospect does not have an interest or a desire in what you have to offer then they will not be a buyer of what you were selling. Therefore your salespeople will spend so much time scouting out prospects who need what they are selling.

    From a philosophical standpoint this makes sense, as if someone needs what you were selling chances are they may wish to buy it. However, that is not exactly how it works. You see, people only buy what they want and not necessarily what they need. For instance no one needs to put alcohol, which is a poison to the human body in their body.

    But they want to do to the fact that it makes them feel a certain way and takes the edge off. People spend money on what they want not what they need. If they needed it bad enough in that event their need is turned into a desire above and beyond their desire for other products or services, which they might use the unit of trade we call a dollar to purchase.

    Sales managers should be sure to the salespeople that work under them understand this principle and to be sure to spend their sales time with the clients or prospects who most desire or are more interested in what they sell. If the sales personal wastes time on only goes prospects who are perceived to need what they sell, they simply will not make as many sales. This of course means your company will indeed make less money you see. Consider all those in 2006.

    Anger — Lose Your Cool and Look Like a Fool

    July 3rd, 2008

    I recently witnessed a scene in a mall parking lot that has had a lasting effect on me – it was two middle-aged women arguing over a parking spot. They were both standing beside their cars and screaming at each other while waving their arms in a threatening manner. The argument eventually became a name-calling competition, with each trying to outdo the other. The sad thing was that the store wasn’t busy and there were plenty of empty spaces available. Their arguing became so heated that other shoppers began stopping to watch the spectacle. Meanwhile, the women’s children sat in their cars and witnessed the whole scene. How proud those kids must be!

    The fact is that everybody gets angry. Whether it is at a family member, a co-worker or the stranger who took our parking spot, we all get angry. The problem with getting angry is that there is only a slim chance that it might solve the problem, but a much greater chance it’ll create new ones.

    Anger is really us losing control and when we lose control bad things usually happen. At home it can mean a damaged relationship, in public it can mean a confrontation with a stranger, and at work it can mean getting fired or skipped over for promotion. Samaria Maxamus said, “Anger itself does more harm than the condition that caused it.” If you can’t remember that, try: Anger is only 1 letter away from danger!

    Let’s be honest here, just like the two women in the parking lot, most of us can look and act pretty foolishly when we’re angry – usually saying and doing things we’ll later regret. Getting angry is a lot like being drunk, the intoxicated person is the only one who doesn’t realize he has a problem.

    What makes anger so dangerous is that it can occur so quickly we’ve lost control before we even realize it. The only way to minimize the damage is to gain back control.

    Before we can begin to diminish our anger we first have to understand what causes anger. There is really only one reason why we get angry and that is because someone didn’t act the way we wanted them to. Interesting, isn’t it? Anger is not an action, but how we respond to another’s action. Getting angry is letting someone else control you.

    When was the last time something good came out of you getting angry? Benjamin Franklin said, “Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.” The next time you find yourself getting angry, try and take a moment to ask yourself these questions: Is winning this argument really worth ruining the relationship? How important will this be a year from now? A month from now? A day or even an hour from now?

    The moment you take back control you’ll lose the anger. Don’t let someone else control how you feel.

    Who really suffers when you get anger? The Buddha said, “Holding on to anger is like holding on to a red-hot coal, you’re the only one who’s going to get burned.”

    Why is it that when we hurt ourselves physically we learn not to do it again, but when we hurt ourselves emotionally we repeat the same action over and over? No one benefits from anger.

    The best way to end an argument is to bite your tongue. That’s not admitting fault, it’s controlling the anger. Take back control. Besides, even if you win the argument, you still can’t enjoy the present if you’re angry about the past.


    Organizational Techniques – Tickler and Chron File

    July 1st, 2008

    One of the biggest problems we encounter in our consulting with businesses, and our students is time management and organizational techniques. This article will concentrate on some good organizational strategies. Two of the best organizational techniques I have found over the years are the Tickler File and the Chron File. This article will concentrate on how to use them everyday in your business.


    A Tickler file is used extensively in the legal arena. A Tickler file is a file in which you put items that you need to take care of by a certain date. For example, an accordion file is used in the legal office, the accordion file has dates from 1-31 with monthly folders (January-December). If a court case is to go to trial on June 13th with depositions to take place through May, the case would be put in the accordion file in April, so that letters could be sent out in April to those who need to be deposed in May. The letter for a particular individual would be placed in the appropriate day for May that the person was to come in, or even the day before with a note to call and remind this individual they have an appointment. Anyway you get the idea. The tickler file allows you to put notes, files or letters in them as a reminder (tickle your memory) for you to do something. The tickler file is also a great way to get all the papers off your desk. When I am done at the end of the day, I place my to do list (with the items to be done), in my tickler file. My tickler file is a legal size accordion file, which is numbered 1-31. I have made up my own monthly files. Yes, you can purchase manila files with the months already on them, however, they are expensive, an expense I don’t think is necessary. My tickler file is in the drawer of my desk. When I am finished at the end of the day, all of the items I am still working on are placed in my tickler file for the next day. So the tickler file can serve a two-fold purpose, clearing off your desk at the end of the day, along with acting as reminder and keeping track of what need to be done in the upcoming days and months for you.


    For those of you running your own Lease Purchasing business it also allows you to tickle a reminder to yourself to run your ads on a consistent basis, utilize your marketing strategies, Real Estate meetings, speeches, and articles to write, along with the other items you need to do.


    I know many of you use computer programs that act as tickler files do. This is fine, as long as you use them. I know you can set up a system like this one in Outlook and many of the Personal Management Programs. That’s fine. However, I find that most people don’t follow through with the computer programs, and have found when consulting with businesses that the old fashioned way makes them more comfortable, since they are handling paper and files and don’t have to bring up a specific program to look for something. However, if you are more comfortable with a computer program, please feel free to employ one. Just remember, to be organized, you do have to use it.


    Another issue that comes up quite often is finding a particular letter or memo in a file. One of the best ways to keep track of correspondence is by using a Chron File. A chron file is a chronological file of all the correspondence you send out on a monthly basis. You would have chron files for all twelve months with the letters sent out that month in date order. If you use client files, you can still use the chron file, just make a second copy of the letter for your chron file. It might seem extra work for you, however, I have found over time, not everyone can remember a particular clients’ name, and it is much easier to remember they did a letter in a particular month, and find it that way. Chron files are very handy for those businesses that don’t send out a lot of correspondence and don’t want to have to make a file for one piece of correspondence. Your correspondence is organized by month and year and much easier to retrieve if you need to. I keep the current monthly chron file and the past two months in my desk drawer before my tickler file.


    For those running a lease purchase business, your chron file is perfect for those follow-up letters from telephone calls to sellers, marketing letters to mortgage brokers, real estate agents, etc. You don’t need to make a separate file for those type of letters, just place them in your chron file.

    Advanced How-To Credit Repair Tips

    July 1st, 2008

    If you have been denied new credit because of your existing bad credit then you will save time and money by following these three steps.

    1. Explains WHY your credit repair rights are legally protected.
    2. Describes WHERE you should begin to start your credit repair actions.
    3. Dictates HOW your credit repair actions should be performed for maximum effectiveness.
    1. Further your understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). These Federal rules, regulations and guidelines have to be followed by consumer reporting companies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion in order for them to be consumer reporting companies. Specifically for our purposes we will focus on three parts of the (FCRA)
      1. Read FCRA Section 611(a)(1)(A) which states:

        “If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumer’s file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly of such dispute, the agency shall reinvestigate free of charge and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph (5), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer.”

      2. Read the FCRA Section 611(a)(3)(A) which states:

        “…a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.” The law requires that an agency notify you within 5 business days if they determine your dispute to be frivolous or irrelevant. The law does not dare to define what is grounds for making such a determination except for “failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.”

      3. c. Read the FCRA Section 611(a)(5)(A) which states:

        “Historically, an item that was deleted would occasionally reappear on a consumer’s credit file. This occurred when a credit grantor automatically updated a consumer’s payment history. Most often this happened with a credit granter with whom the consumer still had payment activity. However, the new FCRA does not allow a deleted item to be added again unless the creditor certifies that the information is correct.”

    2. Take an active role in maintaining an improving your credit by getting your free credit report.
      1. The FCRA requires each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – to provide you a free credit report, at your request, once every 12 months.
      2. You can order three ways
        1. Online at www.annualcreditreport.com
        2. On the phone 1-877-322-8228
        3. Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.

          You need to provide your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth. If you have moved in the last two years, you may have to provide your previous address. To maintain the security of your file, each nationwide consumer reporting company may ask you for some information that only you would know, like the amount of your monthly mortgage payment.

    3. Three things that you MUST do for effective credit repair results.
      1. Always dispute in writing.
        1. This step allows you to enclose copies of supporting documentation when needed.
        2. Gives you a physical audit trail if needed.

      2. Make sure each dispute has a specific reason and a specific action to be taken.
