First, you probably have already decided on the idea of going online. You have noticed that when people shop they may only go to the first pages of Google, Yahoo or Bing to shop and purchase their product that they are looking. They rarely go to pages farther back. So that means that it is necesary to get on the front lines so to speak.

So it is important to get to page one with your product. If you have searched for Avon on Google you probably saw a number like 7,560,000. Then on Wordtracker there shows 5,751 people per day click on Avon. So from both of these you can see you are competing against a huge crowd of people.

Why would you want to promote your business online? Well it is because that is the most popular way to shop these days. Everyone is concerned with time. Time is money and so it goes.

Shopping on the Internet can be done in your bathrobe. That saves time and gas and money. Take a look at these numbers I found in the keyword tool. This tool tells us what people are searching for on the Internet. I put the keyword word Avon in the search box. If you are in another business, I can still show you how to set up these seo pages.

5. Prostate Cancer and PSA Screening No. 38
Have you seen articles in the news paper or news on TV about prostate cancer? Do you know about PSA Screening? Do you know someone who has prostate Cancer? There is a lot in the news these days about prostate cancer. But the most helpful and the best information I have seen is what I have read in the VitaJournal. The PSA Screening is very helpful. Catching any kind of cancer in the early stages can be helpful in getting early treatment.

Men use to be encouraged to be checked for Prostate Cancer when turning 60. Now they find that men at the age of 40 can show symptoms. Even younger men are encouraged to get checked. To learn more about the symptoms of Prostate Cancer and PSA Screening, I encourage you to read the article in the June issue, page 26 of the Vitajournal. Click on this link Prostate Cancer and it will take you to my website where you can click on the tab of "Health Articles", and there is an excellent article about Prostate Cancer and PSA Screening written by Samuel N Grief, M.D.,CCFP,FCFP.

To help reduce the risk of future prostate problems, I recommend for you to check on this link and check out a product that may reduce the risk of future prostate problems. Prostate Health Formula. You will also learn how your diet can be helpful to you as well.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Perhaps you have wanted to get started in a business that you can make money online and help with your finances. You have thought about it for a long time but just never gotten around to get anything done about it. Your job does not have the security that it use to have. People are being laid off and you may be next. There has been talk of the company being outsourced and you feel extremely insecure of your job with the economy in the state it is in. What to do just keeps running through your mind. Before things get any worse you are thinking of a business that you could do and let you feel more secure.

Choosing a good business to make money online would be important as you would not want to invest your time, energy and money in a poor job of any kind. You have been told a good place to start looking is to search Google to find work that would be a fit for you. My suggestion would be a business in Health & Wellness. The popularity of having good health is much needed and ways to obtain this is with sought after products. People can�t afford to get sick these days. The cost of health care is skyrocketing. Many Prescription drugs are dangerous with all their side effects. It can be difficult to find a doctor to care for you. The reasons for staying healthy are stacking up. Many people are looking for alternative ways to keep and stay well. Finding a company that has great products is very important and can help many people stay well.

You have known of people who have gotten in a business with nutritional products and like their business. The problem with their business is the company doesn�t have much of a line of different products. They only have an energy drink and that doesn�t seem to be a way to make much in a business to make money online. It would be better to choose a business that has many products that will be helpful for a lot of people.

The company that I am in business with is one that has an excellent reputation with both their products and their business procedures. Most businesses use leads as a way to get their business to grow. Leads are very difficult to work but the worst of it is they do not work. They are expensive, hard to work and get very little success in sponsoring. I do not buy leads, I buy customers. It is much easier and much more success is gained with a business that sells customers and not leads to make money online.

8. Make Money Online No.35
Small Business Ideas

When you first start your business the most important thing you need is to move product, and that means you need customers to buy product. When you have customers your product will be sold, and you will then make a commission. This is true for any kind of a business, small or large. When you start a home business, you are told to get distributors. Distributors are the sales people. They need to sponsor more distributors and that means to bring more sales people in to the business. And so it goes on and on down the line.

But how do you get Distributors? The most common way is to buy leads. There are many different lead companies that sell leads. They do not say how they get those leads. Some companies must be ethical and get them in an honest fashion. However the ones I found did not get them in an ethical manner. So no matter how hard I worked calling leads, I was realizing very little if any success bringing people into my business through the means of leads. Leads are probably the biggest expense a distributor has. So my advice is Don't Buy Leads!

If you don't buy leads, what are you suppose to do to make your business grow? One could go back to the 3 foot method or the flyers on windshields in parking lots, but this is a very difficult and tiresome way to go. The answer is to get customers instead of distributors. I have found a Cooperative Online Marketing Business that sells customers. These customers have watched a infomercial or heard an advertisement on the radio and liked what they heard, so they called and ordered product. After that first order they became a lead that is now for sale. You order customers with this company and now they are your customer for life. You make a commission on the next sale and all sales after that. Doesn't that make leads seem like a very poor way to work very hard with so little success and money going down the drain.

If this sounds of interest, call me and I will give you valuable information on this way of marketing. You can check out this link as well. My Business.

9. How to Make Money Online No. 34

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE

This is the most popular way to make money these days. There are many ways to be an entrepreneur and be able to learn how to make money online. To do this you will need to choose some kind of a business to market. Let�s use as an example of a Health and Wellness business. You can choose a business that has Health and Wellness and there are thousands of businesses using these products.

Then after you�ve chosen the company, you need to do the training for the business so you are very familiar with the company, the people who are responsible for all aspects of the business, listen to all the recordings and study their compensation plans. How does this business show ways of how to make money online.

It is important to write your goals down. Start with one of less importance to you and then go forward and write more advanced goals. You might start with a new computer and then down the road a new Camaro. Still later you might have a new home. These are just simple examples. Many people find pictures to put up where they can see them everyday. This is part of learning how to make money online and this is the way you will want to go.

The way a business can grow best is from customers not leads as many companies advocate. If your business sells customers you will be way ahead. This is a revolutionary idea and not many companies have gone this direction. Leads are often what they want to use but leads are the biggest expense that a distributor has and creates the least success. The freedom comes when you have customers buying products and you make a commission. Customers are not so apt to leave as distributors often do. When distributors leave a company they do not take their customers with them so your business stays solid. If you would like to know more about this way of marketing, click on the link below and it will help you to understand how to make money online with buying customers.

10. Buy Customers Not Leads No.33
Buy Customers not Leads
Don't Buy Leads

Why Customers? Why not buy leads? The reason you started a home business and now have it online is because you wanted to make money, right? Do you know why you have not made the money you want and now need to make? Here is the secret for success: Buy Customer not Leads.

One reason is you have no one to sell your business plan to. Friends and relatives may not be interested in asking their friends and relatives to join their business and so they don't want to join your business. For this reason you have resorted to buying leads.

This seemed like the ideal way to go as you don't have to lose all your friends now because you can talk to strangers. It sounds like the answer. Lead companies have appeared all over the place so you have a good selection and you will find the best people and become successful. What happened? It sounded like such a good idea. You bought leads and got a script and called every one of them.

They rarely were home. When they were home, you used your best voice and best script but they were not interested. You often heard that they were not only not looking for a home business but they did not want you to ever call again. Some were very rude and some hung up on you. Some listened to you and then said they would love to join but had no money so they couldn't join anything.

You heard more excuses than you could imagine there being. You had paid quite a bit of money for those leads and they were not working. So you tried another lead company. Does this sound familiar? You are not alone. This is not the only type of recruiting that people are not successful with. But this one was probably the most expensive one. This is why 95% of all Network Marketers are not successful and why they quit in a very short time.

So what is the answer to having success on the Internet. I believe it is to buy customers not leads. Don't buy leads buy customers. My business now is one that sells customers. Starting out you can start at a place that you can get 25 customers. Then you can add to them each month at a rate you can afford. You can also let your profits go towards buying more customers if you like. If you are trying to get customers quickly that is the way you can go. Buy Customer not Leads.

You may think this is an expensive way to go, but I am here to tell you this way is much cheaper than buying leads. These customers will stay with you and be buying great products to keep in better health. They will receive catalogs, emails, the VitaJournal and products which are all sent to them when ordered. The company does all this work and more which is included with the price of buying your customers. So this is why you buy customers not leads, and your business will grow. Buy Customers not Leads.

I would be glad to help you get all the information you need regarding this kind of business. Please feel free to call me.

11. Home Business Opportunities No. 32

Have you decided that now is the time to get a home business started. Have you been thinking about it for a long time but didn't know what you would do?

Lots of people get in that stage and never end up doing anything. However if you are different and really want to get going, I would suggest you Google Home Business Opportunities. There are a huge amount of people looking for home business opportunities.

When you are in the stage of thinking what kind of home business opportunity you would like, you can Google the names of the business as well. Checking them out carefully and finding out what to look for prevents you from being drawn into a scam.

There are many businesses that are good businesses. I am sure you have heard of many. What I like to do is find out how they build their business. If they suggest using family, friends, using 100 names you know, or any other method that repulses you, rule them out. Another popular way to build a business these days is with buying leads. It sounds like an easy way to go as you will not have to talk with friends or family, only people that you don't know. This does sounds good and many do this, but these are ways of failure. If people don't know you, they don't trust you. You rarely get a friendship built up with leads. Leads are usually not good even though you are told they are. If they are and I can't sponsor them, then that makes me a failure. This is the reason that 95% of marketers quit. It is the fault of the leads and how they were captured, not the person calling the leads.

If you can find a company where you can buy customers instead of leads, you will become successful. This way you do not subject yourself to failure. You will be paid a commission on what your customers buy and they will be delivered by the company. They find the customers and do the advertising, take care of the bookkeeping and deliver the product. This is the ideal way to choose home business opportunities. The idea is you get customers and do not have the need for so many sales people (distributors). If a distributor does drop out the customers stay with you. This is not the way that things happen in a regular MLM business. with a regular mlm company, when the distributor leaves, most of the people under them leave also. With a company that sells customers this does not happen. Their customers stay with you. Some people invest more and make money faster than those that build as they can, but still make good money. This is a business that you will find success.

If you would like to know more about this type of business that I have found, call me.

Make Money Online

There is a huge amount of interest these days on wanting to make money online. Lots of people are doing that very thing, so why not you? If you have a business now with a company that has not been online but now is, it is easy to convert to a business online. They probably will want to give you a replicated website. This is very simple to do and can be done almost immediately. Then there site becomes your site with your personal information added.

If you are not with a business to make money online now, it would be an adventure to find out all about the many online businesses that are available to you. A good way to start looking is to go to Google and do a search on Make Money Online. You will have lots of information to look through. One word of caution: there are scams so keep that in mind as you look. They are not going to reveal themselves as scams. You will have to figure that out by being cautious and using discernment.

When talking with someone wanting to sponsor you and they say that you will be able to make $5,000. more or less in your first month, they are not telling you the truth. A more truthful statement would be, instead of get rich quick, you will build your business and it will be a get rich slow business. Working your business online is different and easier but not able to give you instant wealth any more than any other way of doing business. If they use leads and tell you how they are going to make you rich by putting a large amount of distributors in your business, they are not telling the truth. If they tell you they do not buy leads and they do buy customers, then you will want to take a serious look at that business.

Good luck to you on your search. I hope you find the best business for you to make money online and you will find this an interesting and an educational adventure, as it truly can be. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. A true leader is one that wants to help you become successful, not focused on themselves and what they want and their success.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Where would you like to start? How about gong to Google and putting in Make Money Online and see all the different articles that are written about people who have chosen to start their own business. You will be amazed of how many articles and blogs are there concerning how to make money online.

Have you been considering what kind of a business you would be interested in doing? There are many different kinds. Health and Wellness is very popular, probably because there are many people concerned about their health. If they are healthy they want to stay that way. If they have health problems they want to find something that will make them well. Alternative medicines are on the rise. Doctors must be on the decline as it is very hard to find one if you are in the place of having to make a change from the doctor that you had. Moving or reaching the age for Medicare makes finding a new Doctor necessary but very difficult. Vitamins and Minerals are on nearly every ones counters, waiting there to be remembered each day to deter any virus of disease of any kind from attacking them.

So to find a Health and Wellness Network Marketing business to make money online is an excellent choice, and you will find a wide variety to choose from. I like a business that has a wide variety of products and one for helping people with different kinds of health problems. Such as problems with weight as over weight is a big problem in our country these days. A product to help men with prostate concerns is another needed product. Energy is needed by many people so any products that can help with increasing energy will be needed by many. And of course the need to stay young and vivacious is popular and needed by the baby boomers. The list of needs goes on and on.

Many businesses are only interested in finding Distributors for there growth. If you find a business as I have that is interested in customers growing your business in this way, you will find many benefits and much more time to devote to family and leisure. You will receive commissions on sales by growing your customer base. This is a unique way to grow your make money online business and in doing this you can buy customers. You do not have to use the old ways of marketing and using many ways that do not prove to be effective. If you would like to learn more about this way of marketing, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to share this way of marketing with you.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Moms are the ones that have the best reason for wanting to make money online so they can stay home with the children. They have every reason in the world to be at home with their children, doing what Moms do best, nurturing their children. Children grow up so fast, that working away from home Mothers miss so much of their childrens lives and the children miss so much from not having their Mom to be there for them. Before you know it the children are grown and there is no way of going back or catching up on all that is missed.

Mothers and Dads can both reap rewards from having a business that they can make money online with to add additional income to their home expenses. They can put their time in on their work when the children are doing something else or away at school. When the kids are home they can help with the business and have fun being with Mom and Dad while they are doing it. They will learn a great deal from being in that atmosphere. I see many benefits for both children and parents that are invaluable.

Choosing a good business to make money online would be important as you would not want to invest your time, energy and money in a poor business of any kind. If you haven�t chosen a business, you could search Google to find work that would be a fit for you. My suggestion would be a business in Health & Wellness. The popularity of having good health is much needed and ways to obtain this is with sought after products. People can�t afford to get sick these days. The cost of health care is skyrocketing.

Most businesses use leads as a way to get their business to grow. Leads are very difficult to work and they don�t work well. If you get any distributors or customers, it is unusual. It certainly is not many if any. They are expensive, hard to work and get very little success in sponsoring.

I do not buy leads, I buy customers. This is much easier and much more success is gained with a make money online business that sells customers and not leads. Much advertising is done for you, leaving very little to do yourself. You do not have to stockpile products. You only buy what you can use yourself. The products are outstanding so you have no problem using them. If you would like to learn more about this manner of marketing for success, click on this link below and give me a call.

If you have a business now with a company that has not been online but now is, it is easy to convert to online. They probably will want to give you a replicated website. This is very simple to do and can be done almost immediately. Then there site becomes your site with your personal information added.

If you are not with a work from home opportunity now, it would be an adventure to find out all about the many businesses that are available to you. A good way to start looking is to go to Google and do a search on work from home opportunities. You will have lots of information to look through. One word of caution: there are scams so keep that in mind as you look. They are not going to reveal themselves as scams.

If a business says that you will be able to make $5,000. in your first week, they are not telling you the truth. A much more true statement would be, instead of get rich quick. Making business online should be, get rich slowly. If they use leads and tell you how they are going to make you rich by putting a large amount of distributors in your business, they are not telling the truth. If they tell you they do not buy leads and they do buy customers, you will want to take a serious look at that business.

Good luck to you on your search. I hope you find the best way to work from home opportunity in a business and find it as an educational adventure, as it truly is. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. A true leader is one that wants to help you become successful, not focused on themselves and what they want and their success.

SOHO Marketing

SOHO Marketing is small office home office marketing and is very popular these days with the economy as it is. This term is often used and is a popular term which holds a very popular desire with people looking to make extra money or replace the job they just lost. It beats buying a franchise or even a small business downtown. With a business that you start in your home, you save many of the expenses that occur. With this being the computer age, one can use their computer for their soho marketing business in many ways.

One popular way to grow a soho marketing business is to use social networking. There are many different social network places and new ones popping up all the time. The best known and probably the most used are MySpace, Face Book and Yahoo, however there are many more. They are easy to join and you can make friends easily. Many people go about expanding their business using these but often go about it all wrong. Many have businesses of their own and they are there to find new people for their business. So they immediately try to sell everyone their business. That is the best way to turn people off that there is. Social Networking means socializing with others. Finding a common interest and finding out about them. Compare notes and become fiends with other network marketing people. They may be able to show you things that you do not know and visa versa.

Many people use Google to help them decide which business they wish to go into. You can do a search for SOHO Marketing and will find my name there with a blog about this subject. I am fortunate to have a soho marketing business which I am very pleased with. I use social networking and a marketing business to grow my business. I have used leads in other network marketing businesses and will never buy leads again.

I do not recommend using leads. Leads are a huge expense to a network marketer. You may often be told how good leads are to use, but really using leads does more damage than good. It is not just the cost that is hard on the pocket book, but working leads becomes very discouraging because there is so little to gain. Peoples names are captured by deceit. They usually think they are signing up for something free and that entices them to fill out their information. They do not get told that their information is going to be sold as a lead to someone who is trying to sell them a business endeavor. So when talking with a lead, they may be extremely rude, crush your enthusiasm and ruin your self esteem. The percentage of these leads that you find to talk with will be few and ones that you can successfully market to are even fewer.

There is another way to have a business grow financially, and that is to get customers. They buy product and you make a commission. They tell others and some decide to become distributors. I have found a business where you can buy customers and build a fine soho marketing business. If you would like to hear more about this business, give me a call and I will be glad to share this information with you.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

They have made big strides in business opportunities to make money online at home over the years and have made many improvements in the way they do business. I believe a number of the original ones are still in business. MLM became known to me in the 60�s or 70�s. The first one that I heard about was Amway. At the beginning they had only one product to start their business. They came a long ways and almost everyone has either heard of them and many have become a distributor with them. Some people became involved more than once over the years of change. There were a few other businesses that may also have been MLM businesses at the same time.

From those first businesses came many others until now there are a huge amount of different businesses. Getting more and more businesses that are wanting to make money online. Many of them are good, and of course there are many others that spring up, and go for a short time and then fold leaving only those at the top, as the only ones that made any money. This has given all of them a bad reputation, even the good ones. There are some that have used dishonest tactics and have hurt a lot of people.

So how does one know what businesses are good and what ones are not good? To make money online you have to do your homework and check each one out carefully. Check them out on Google first. As you study different businesses you will see some things that they all have in common. A good business will give you time to check them out. The owners of a good business will be there to help you. By helping you they will become successful. Here are some ways to check a business out that you may find helpful.

The company needs to be established and I think should have at least 5 years in business and 10 years is even better. Their product should be a valid product that everyone needs, not just a few. Are they offering a get rich deal and only a short time to get involved to be in on the pre-launch or ground floor? These are some of the most important things to watch out for and stay away from. No matter how tempting they sound, run the other way. If not you will lose. These signs are not always easy to detect and these people pray on those who are unsuspecting and want to make money online with a home business.

Do they use leads to grow their business? Do they tell you how good leads work? If they do, I would let this alone determine how good the business is. Leads are very difficult to work and they are also very expensive. They are not an effective way to build a business. Very few people can work leads successfully.

I have a home business that I use to make money online. This company is 10 years old this year and it is very professional and honest. They have a wonderful website that has everything there for you to be able to check out. With this business you can buy customers instead of leads. Customers buy product and I get paid a commission on the sale. This is an excellent way to build a business slowly and solidly. They have excellent products and their people in charge are very knowledgeable. They continually make new benefits for their members. It is a firm and strong business. This is an excellent business to make money online. If you would like to check this business out, you may call me and then click on the link below. You will be glad you did.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Making money online is an excellent way to go to make the money you want to make. Many people are interested in changing their business to online because they have heard that it is a far superior way to do business. It certainly beats using leads. There have been things that worked online for quite a while and then stopped working. So for any new thing to try online, it may wear itself out. You have to be flexible and willing to try new things.

Those who already have a computer already are ready to make it pay for its self so why not use it to make money online. But even more than that is, they need to make some extra money. And the thought of it being able to replace their job is wonderful. Most people do not like their jobs. I was one of the fortunate people who did like my job. I didn't even want to retire when it was time that I could. Most of the people I talk to are counting the days, weeks and or years when they will be able to retire. It is like they are looking forward to no longer having to serve a sentence.

Since the time for retirement isn't an option, to make money online would have many benefits that would be just like retirement as soon as the business was prospering enough to replace the job. So how does one start making that kind of money?

You need to go online and go to Google. Type the kind of work that you would be interested in and let Google search out what your options are. Then you can start investigating all your options. Don't jump in to the first thing you find. Look around and see what else there is that is available. Chances are you will find Network Marketing companies that can provide you with an interesting business. If you choose to go that direction, there are many things to be aware of. They will probably all sound good at first.

To make money online will be well worth your time to look at all aspects. Watch out for scams. If a company is a start up business and they are stressing for you to hurry and get in now. Watch out. If they are saying that the ground floor is a real deal or that you can make lots of money without much effort or a lot of money fast. Look the other way. If you hear any of these words, Beware! Remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Remember too, that there is no free lunch. You need to expect to work and build a business. Or if you choose a MLM company you will need to build a down line.

If you are fortunate you will find a company that sells customers. The best way to build a business is to buy customers. Customers buy product and you can make a commission on them. How you get customers is done in different ways. The business that I am with, you can buy customers. I believe that is the best way to go. If you would like to know more about this way of doing business, call me and then click on this link.

MAKE MONEY AT HOME

Here is a story about a couple who wants to have their own business and here is what they found.

They are trying to decide whether to buy a business down town or buy a franchise of a popular restaurant. They have checked on the money needed up front of each of these and they are now realizing, to buy one of these they would have to have a lot of money up front. The business downtown is much cheaper than the franchise of a like business. But with the franchise you have to use their products entirely and it seems like they are your boss as they can tell you a lot of what you can and can not do. So trying to save on products or implement your own ideas would be impossible. And with either one they would have to depend on help as they cannot run it by them selves. They found that they would also have the rent of a brick and mortar business as well as the utilities to pay each month. So how long would it take to just clear their overhead expenses? It will be taking more money than they can afford and will not be in the black for years. It does not sound like something that would work.

So what alternative do they have? They have heard people are able to make money at home with a Network Marketing business and that would cut down on many of the expenses. They would not have to pay for a franchise but would have an up front expense. They can not start without a start up cost. But they would not have rent or any additional utilities costs. They would not have to hire anyone. The kids could help when they needed them. Overall it seems to be a more feasible way to go.

The more they thought of a business that they could make money at home, the better it sounded. They decided they should talk with their friends who have a business that they work out of their home and see what they would advise. After talking with them they realized that they really needed to sit down and write up a plan. They need to set up an office and clear out a room that they can work in. They have some things already but will need a few more things. Their computer will work for a while, but will probably have to get a new one in a year or so. They said we need to decide on a business that we can grow with customers. This will bring money in and we won�t lose them if their distributor quits. They thought of a business that they had heard about that sell customers and they thought that was a unique idea. Their friend who told them about that will be glad to help them with that. Now they need to set goals. They need to figure out how much they can spend per month for growing their business too.

The time they have to work their business to make money at home has to be thought out. They know that when they are home all day, it is easy to let other things take priority. They would like to get the kids involved so they could feel a part of their business too. They can use a marketing company that they heard of that they can learn a lot about how to market. These products are excellent so they will be in better health as they get use to using them. They were really excited.

This couple is ready to get started to build their business so they can make money at home and have a great time doing it. They will be joining a team and not left alone to find all their answers they may need. After hearing their story, are you ready to investigate and find what they found to make money at home so that you too can have your own successful business? Give me a call and I will show you how it is done. Click on the link below to learn more.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Those who have a business where they make money online enjoy so much freedom. This business gives them the freedom to escape from their 9 to 5 syndrome, free from traffic on the way to and from work, free from having to buy so much gas and free from making your boss or CEO rich. What could be sweeter?

With your make money online business you can adjust your time to meet your family�s needs. You can have so many freedoms and still put in your hours doing your work. When you are working for yourself, you will be making more money too. While you are making more you are also saving more, and saving is gaining.

Many Mothers or Fathers have chosen to stay at home and home school their children. They are able to do this with their make money online business. They find this works easily and also saves money in a number of ways. Some of the ways is using less gas, lunch money, sometimes clothes, and teaches business skills that their children that would normally not be exposed to. For these many savings and ways of helping their children that are available, more and more people are home schooling their children.

They feel they can get a better education, more personalized attention given to their children and even help to teach their children more values. They can combine cooking and chemistry, traveling and geography, bookkeeping and having their own checking account and handling their money right. Mothers are the ones that usually stay home to do the teaching and they usually are the one more qualified to teach their children. They are also the ones who usually run their make money online business.

Choosing a good make money online business will be important as you would not want to invest your time, energy and money in a poor business of any kind. If you haven�t chosen a business, you could search Google to find work that would be a fit for you. My suggestion would be a Health & Wellness business. The popularity of having good health is much needed and ways to obtain this is with sought after products. People can�t afford to get sick these days. The cost of health care is skyrocketing. Many Prescription drugs are dangerous and less Doctors are available. If you are on Medicare it can be difficult to find a doctor to care for you. The reasons for staying healthy are becoming more and more important. Many people are looking for alternative ways to keep and stay well. Finding a company that has great products is very important and can help many people stay well.

The make money online business that I am in business with is one that has an excellent reputation with both their health and wellness products and their business procedures. They have been in business for over 9 years and are a very caring and professional business. They have many unique ideas for their members. You are able to buy customers rather than use leads like many businesses do. They just recently increased their compensation for their members. I highly recommend that you check out this manner of marketing for success. To do this, please click on this link below.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

So many people are now computer savvy and they have the equipment already so why not use it and make it pay for itself by making money online as it is the most popular way to go. Network Marketing is old, but to make money online is new and we always want the latest way to do things.

There were many ways that Network Marketing have been done in the past. Some of them worked and some didn't. The way that I was introduced to network marketing was by being invited to a friend�s home for coffee and was told they wanted to show me something. I went without the slightest idea of what was in store for me and they wouldn't tell me what it was. What I saw was a way to make money online showing others how they could do the same. The sneaky way they went about asking me over did not go over well and I felt deceived. The reason for doing it that way was because they feared if I knew what I was being asked to have a look at, I would refuse to come.

The next popular way of making money with Network Marketing was to talk with everyone you came within three feet. That idea was and still is being used today. The way you do that is to ask what this person does for a living. The idea is that then they will ask you what you do and you can introduce your business. Some businesses still use this method almost entirely. This is called the 3 foot method. This may go along with making a list of 100 people you know and we will do 3-way calls together using your list of friends and relatives.

The idea now days to make money online is appealing to many people as everyone has the need for making money on their minds, but they hate some of the ways that they felt was necessary in order to build a business.

There were a number of other methods used to make money by building their business such as handing out business cards, leaving business cards at businesses for the public to pick up, and making flyers and placing them on cars in parking lots. Lots of ideas surfaced. Leads companies came alive when working on the Internet to make money online got popular. That sounded like such a good way to get away from talking with friends and relatives.

The problem came when the distributor bought leads they were told the lead had been obtained by the lead filling out information online asking for a way to make money online on the Internet. This was not the way it often happened though, as many leads had filled out information to win a free prize and their name was captured as a lead. A bit deceptive and did not turn out to be someone interested in making money at all.

The need to make money online continues to be strong especially these days with prices prices for everything has drastically increased such as the cost of food and everything that needs to be transported from one place to another.

I have found a company that does their marketing in a revolutionary way. I do not buy leads, because I buy customers instead. The whole concept is simple and very effective. You are paid a commission on the sale of your products to your customers. If you are interested in information about this new revolutionary way to make money online, click on the link below. You will be glad you did.

Starting a Home Business

Don't Buy Leads

26. Make Money Online No.17*

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

I think everybody wants the best of everything, so this is no different. You want the best way to make money online with a home based business which is quite understandable. If you have had a home based business before, you know that they can be very rewarding and financially beneficial.

You may have had a home based business that was neither a make money online business nor the best business and you feel disappointed and have thought you would never want to try it again. I feel sad when someone has gotten burned by not having their business successful. You may have blamed yourself, thinking that if I had done this or if I had done that I could have been successful. That may have been true, but there are very good chances it was not your fault.

Lots of things can go wrong when you are starting out in a home business. It may have been the way a compensation plan was structured. Not being experienced you would take some one else�s word for that. It may have been the company it self or the top management, or the way the business was put together, or because it was not a make money online business. It may have been the company advocated using leads. All these things are a possibility.

I have been in companies that have gone out of business after 14 years of being a top company. I have also been in another company that changed overnight from one kind of a business to another kind of a business that changed the whole structure of the business. I believe they are still in business but nothing like they had when they started. The people at the top did well. Everyone else made some but struggled and soon quit.

It helps to know certain things to watch for when looking at a make money online business. Many training plans that are put together are using leads. Leads sound like the answer as they make it so you do not have to rely on parents, family and friends. They don�t insist you make a list of 100 people you know to contact with some one else to help you, and on and on. I have found a business that does not use leads but uses buying customers. This plan is sound and good. They have been in business 9 years and have a thriving business and a lot of happy members.

I work at home and the freedom it gives is enormous. My office consists of a desk and a computer which I use for my business to make money online. I don't have to get in my car, fight the traffic, or wait for trains to get me thrown off of a schedule or worry about being late. I come to my office any time of the day and work. I can be in my pajamas and robe and no one will care or know. I don't have any harassment from co-workers or bosses. My work is entirely up to me and I get paid for what I do and for what I am worth.

Does this sound appealing to you? Many people are looking for a home business to make money online. It is not a job as it does not meet the criteria. The benefits are stupendous. I am only touching on a tip of the ice burg regarding the benefits you can have from having your own business to make money online and work at home. There is so much more.

With 50,000 people a day joining Network Marketing, they know the idea of working at home is certainly not new. I know there are a lot of people adding a new dimension to their lives and their income. To make money online, I would imagine, is the main purpose that this is happening with so many losing their jobs, the downsizing and the outsourcing of jobs. With a make money online business working at home seems more and more appealing.

Mom's like the idea so they can be at home with their children and keep their interests in wholesome endeavors rather than let day cares just keep them entertained or friends leading them astray. Their young minds can go either way so easily and when not given the right paths to go down, it can have terrible effects on them. So stay at home Mom's is very beneficial and rewarding and a good way to add to the household finances to make money online.

Consider investigating your interests in a work from home atmosphere. I recommend you check on Google for helpful information on Make Money Online. I would also highly recommend that you listen to the links below and see the benefits given there. I have added a link to check out on what kind of a business I chose and love.

Writing blogs that will be recognized on Google is called SEO (search engine optimization). As your blogs get to page one, people will be reading your blogs and if they are interested and want to know more about what you are writing, they will contact you.

Listen to their sales promotion. If they have a strong arm sales pitch, that is not a good sign of a good business. A good company will give you all the good points of the business, which often are the products and the compensation plan. Experience is important for a business to make money online. A good business choice is one that the business is at least five years old and ten years old is even better.

Another important factor is how the businesses helps their distributors to grow and how they promote their business. Most businesses of any kind are using leads to grow their business.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Have you been looking for information on how to make money online? You may have heard this is the newest and best way to do Network Marketing. Many of us have been doing Network Marketing for years and have not had the success we were looking for. So the idea of making money online and being able to use the Internet sounds great.

As I remember the first way that network marketing was introduced to me was by being invited to a friend�s home for coffee and was told they wanted to show me something. I went without the slightest idea of what was in store for me. What I saw was a way to make money showing others how they could do the same. The sneaky way they went about asking me over without telling me what they were doing did not go over well and I felt deceived. The reason for doing it that way was they feared if I knew what I was being asked to have a look at, I would refuse to come.

The next popular way of making money with Network Marketing was to talk with everyone you came within three feet. This idea was and still is being used today. The idea is when getting 3 feet from someone you ask ask what they do for a living. The idea is that then they will ask you what you do and you can introduce your business. Some businesses still use this approach almost entirely. This is why they call this the 3 foot method of recruiting.

There were a number of other methods used to make money by building their business such as handing out business cards, leaving business cards at businesses for the public to pick up and making flyers to be placed on cars in parking lots. Lots of ideas surfaced. The idea now days to make money online is appealing to many people as nearly everyone has the need for making money on their minds, but they hate the ways that are used to build a business. Using the Internet became popular with using email. Then lead companies came alive and distributors bought leads. This sounded like such a good way to get away from talking with friends and relatives.

The problem came when the distributor bought leads they were told the lead had been obtained by the lead filling out information online asking for a way to make money online on the Internet. This was not the way it often happened though, as many leads had filled out information to win a free prize and their name was captured as a lead. A bit deceptive and did not turn out to be someone interested in making money at all. Using leads is the largest expense a distributor had and showed very little success for a distributor to grow their business.

The need to make money online continues to be strong especially these days with our economic situation and job loss. The price of gas escalating as it did and will probably return has drastically increased the cost of food and many other commodities. The cost of transportation effects everything that has to be transported.

I have found a company that does their marketing in a revolutionary way. It is not necessary to buy leads. I buy customers instead. The whole concept is simple and very effective. You are paid a commission on the sale of your products to your customers. You do not stockpile any inventory, as the company deals directly with the customer. If you are interested in information about this new way to make money online, click on the link below and learn a whole new method of marketing and making money online. You will be glad you did.

MAKE MONEY

Doesn't it seem like everyone wants to make money these days. I am sure it is because so many people are just not making enough money to get by. If you feel like this is what you are experiencing, you are not alone. Money just seems to evaporate. I am sure I am not telling you anything new. Prices have increased in almost everything. Of course it seems like anything that has to be delivered has gone up and that of course is due to the cost of transportation which has increased so much and though it has temporarily decreased the prices for commodities has not followed. I just got a notice from one of my insurance companies that the annual price has increased. That one is harder for me to understand as it is not due to transportation increases.

We need more money as we are all being effected by higher prices, job lay offs and job outsources. So to make ends meet, we will have to find a way to make money. Many people are turning towards jobs on the Internet. Businesses online are increasing tremendously. 50,000 people are joining Network Marketing companies a day. The economy effects us all.

What will you do to make things better in your life? Most people realize they need to cut back on their luxuries. Even some things we felt were necessities we realize we can do without them. By learning to save more is a way of making money. So by saving money first, then starting a business to increase our cash flow is the best way to solve many of our financial problems. You can check on Google for suggestions on ways to make money online.

A word of caution though. There are lots of good things out there, but I also know there are lots of scams as well. You will need to check things out very carefully. If someone says they have the hottest deal out there and you need to join today. Or if you hear "start up with my company and you will get rich immediately", watch out. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. What ever you choose will take work and it will take time. Anything good is worth taking your time. Sad as it is, there are people waiting to take advantage of another. That is their business and that is how they make money.

I would like to invite you to listen to a presentation with the company I am with. This will give you a quick review of a revolutionary business that is unique and well established. With the business I have you do not buy leads. You buy customers. There are many advantages in buying customers. And many advantages and savings in not buy leads. The business I am with is not a get rich quick plan, but you will increase your income steadily and you will prosper. Check out the link below to hear the advantages and how it works.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Wouldn't you like to work at home and make money online so you can enjoy the freedom you deserve. Working at home does give you the freedom to escape from the 9: to 5: syndrome, free from traffic, free from having to buy so much gas and free from making your boss or CEO rich. These seem like pretty good reasons to many of us.

When you can work at home to make money online you can adjust your time to meet your family�s needs. You can have so many freedoms and still put in your hours doing your work. If you are working for yourself, you will be making more money too. While you are making more you are also saving more, and saving is gaining.

When you make money online, you save money in lots of ways. One of the popular ways distributors had to grow their business was in using leads. Most companies promote using leads. Leads are one of the largest expenses that a distributor has and they are not what they lead you to believe. The percentage of any success with leads is minimal and often can be no success at all.

The problem comes when the distributor buys leads and were told they had been gotten by the lead filling out information online asking for a way to make money online using the Internet. This was not the way it often happened as many leads had filled out information to win a free prize and their name was captured as a lead. This is very deceptive and did not turn out to be someone interested in making money at all.

So when the lead was called they were upset because they had not asked for information about starting a home business. They had been called ten or more times and they were getting sick and tired of the phone calls and the idea that they had requested anything. This is the reason many distributors get raked over the coals for calling them and are hurt and discouraged to continue calling their leads. Leads do not work well. The distributor pays a lot of money and gets hardly anything for their money or their hard work.

The need to make money online continues to be strong. Even though the gas prices have returned to a more reasonable rate, we have been told this is only temporary. The gas prices did affect the increased cost of food and anything that needs transportation from one place to another and the increase in prices has not decreased.

I do not use leads for my business any more. There is a way that I have been introduced to that makes all the other ways antiquated and inferior. I buy customers and my customers order product. I get paid a commission on what my customers purchase. I do not make time consuming calls that make me feel inferior. My business grows by increased customers and some of my customers like to make some extra money and become interested in building a business of their own. This plan is superior in many ways. If you are interested in learning more about this way of doing business, call me after watching this presentation. My Business. I will be happy to answer questions you may have.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Are you computer savvy and have the equipment you would need to start a home business to make money online? If so, why not use it and make it pay for itself by making money online. Making money online is now the most popular way to market a business successfully. Network Marketing is old, but to make money online is new and we always want the latest way to do things.

Yes, Network Marketing has been around for years. However, Network Marketing has changed considerably over these years. Some of the ways Network Marketing was done worked and some didn't work so well. The way that I was introduced to network marketing was by being invited to a friend�s home for coffee and was told they wanted to show me something. I went without the slightest idea of what was in store for me and they wouldn't tell me what it was. What I saw was a way to make money showing others how they could do the same. The sneaky way they went about asking me over did not go over well and I felt deceived. The reason for doing it that way was they feared if I knew what I was being asked to have a look at, I would refuse to come. They needed an audience and thought the idea would sell itself. And it did many times with many people. The way to recruit new people has changed but this same company is still doing well.

The next popular way of making money with Network Marketing was to talk with everyone you came within three feet of you. The idea was and still is being used today. That is to ask what they do for a living. The idea is that then they will ask you what you do and you can introduce your business. Some businesses still use this method almost entirely. This is called the 3 foot method. This may go along with making a list of 100 people you know and we will do 3-way calls to them. These methods are still being used and with some successfully.

The idea now days to make money online is appealing to many people. The need to make some extra money is because of so many people being laid off from their jobs, the outsourcing of work and the loss of jobs because of this and of course the economy due to the stock market which causes so many to lose a lot of money. Everyone has the need for making money on their minds, but they hate some of the ways that they felt it was necessary to do in order to build a business.

There were a number of other methods used to make money by building their business such as handing out business cards, leaving business cards at businesses for the public to pick up, and making flyers and placing them on cars in parking lots. Lots of ideas surfaced. Leads companies came alive when working on the Internet to make money online got popular. That sounded like such a good way to get away from talking with friends and relatives.

The need to make money online continues to be strong especially these days that gas prices have temporarily decreased but anticipate the high gas prices returning. The high prices of gas affected the cost of food and everything else that needs transportation from one place to another. Those prices may have barely come down as they know that the cost will soon return.

I have found a company that has changed the whole concept of Network Marketing. They do their marketing in a revolutionary way that does not use buying leads. Instead you buy customers. Customers buy products and you get paid a commission. The whole concept is simple and very effective.

Everyone is up in arms about our situation with the economy and rightfully so. We are losing the money we put away for retirement as well as the money we have saved for college for our kids. Jobs are disappearing and we have had an election and we now have a new president soon to be in office. There are so many problems in our country with the huge cost of the war and so may lives have been lost of our men and women, as well as all the innocent people in Iraq.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Yes, one can make money online. There are ways of doing that and there are ways that don't work. So the purpose of this blog is to tell you how you can be successful and make money online. First, it is important to pick the right business. And how to do that is to decide what is of interest to you in the different types of businesses. Then you need to check out the business you decided on thoroughly before investing money, time and energy.

I would first check any business that you look at on Google. Then I would look online for their website. Much information should be there. Who the President is, what his background is and what his experience is. Who the board of directors are and what their experience is, and a synopsis of their business? You will want to know what they market. Do they have one product or do they have many? How are they different from their competitors? Each of these things is important to be successful with a make money online business.

It is important to know how old this business is. Most start up businesses have not weathered the storm very long. If they make 5 years, that is fairly good. Closer to 10 years is better. By that time, if they have a good reputation and they have weathered the storms of start-up, they will be pretty safe. That is if all the other factors are good.

Their compensation plan will be important to you. If that doesn�t hold up you could be in trouble. If they own their make money online company and are out of debt, those are two big factors. How often do they pay their people and have they ever missed paying them.

What is their training program? Do they use leads? Most Network Marketing businesses do use leads. Leads are expensive and they do not work well. I have used leads extensively and have gotten very discouraged from using them.I have spent a lot of money on leads with little return. I am really relieved to have found a business that does not use leads. They buy customers instead of leads.

I would like to tell you about a model of the company I have found that does not use leads. This make money online company is well founded, has great products, has been in business for 10 years and has no debt and no stock holders. They own the business which is a real plus. Buying customers is very attractive and is very good business. This is the ultimate of a make money online home business. If you can find a company like this model, you will be on your way to making money online and be successful. If you would like to know more about this company that I have found, please feel free to give me a call or click on the link below.

STRESS NUTRITION

Women and Stress

Stress is not easy for everyone to detect. It can sneak into our lives quietly and often not be noticed. And there many different degrees of stress which also makes it hard to detect. There are many different types of things that can cause us stress. I will list a number of ways I can think of and have had.

Jobs:
Co-Workers
Management
Customers
Work Schedules
Meeting deadlines

Home Life:
Spouses
Small Children
Teenagers
Appliances breaking
Illness of others
Time
Every ones schedule

Life:

Death of parents
Illness
Care Taking
Confrontations

When we are anxious or worried about any one of these things it can cause stress which triggers changes in our bodies and our diets, which can cause illness. It can also make any ailment that we may have worsen. Here are some of the ways that stress can effect us physically.

Migraine or headache
Depression
Ulcers or other stomach problems
Weight gain
Weight loss
Heart problems
Take up bad habits ( drinking alcohol or smoking)

To combat these problems we need to listen to our bodies and what is happening when something triggers stress.
Here are some ways to help yourself when stress occurs.

TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOURSELF. Take a relaxing bath, a walk, listen to some relaxing music or do one of your favorite things to do. For me is to work in my yard.

SLEEP. Be sure to get enough sleep. It helps to keep your room cool and dark. Use enough covers to insure you will be warm.

RELAX. Take twelve deep breathes. Prayer is very helpful, and also exercise with stretching or yoga. Listening to relaxing and favorite music.

EAT WHOLESOME FOOD. Don't snack. Eat a well rounded wholesome stress nutrition meal. It is best to stay away from coffee or sweets.

USE SUPPLEMENTS FOR STRESS. Adaptogen is very good for stress. I also think B 12 is very good.

TALK WITH A FRIEND. Choose a friend that will listen and not give advice. You usually don't need to be told what they would do, but just use them as a sounding board.

EXERCISE. Use your favorite means of exercise, whether it is walking, riding a bike or swimming or what ever is your favorite exercise. Mowing the lawn or shoveling snow works well too.

It is very important to keep in touch with your body and recognize when you are stressed. Many illnesses are caused from stress. I have heard that 95% of all illnesses are caused from or stress related. Take care of yourself because you are a very important person to yourself and your family.

47. Home Based Business 26*
Home Based Business Opportunity

I think everybody wants the best of everything, so this is no different. You want the best home based business opportunity, which is quite understandable. If you have had a home based business, you know that they can be very rewarding and financially beneficial.

You may have had a home based business opportunity that was not the best and you feel disappointed and have thought you would never want to try it again. I feel sad when someone has gotten burned by not having their business successful. You may have blamed yourself, thinking that if I had done this or if I had done that I could have been successful. That may have been true, but there are very good chances it was not your fault.

Lots of things can go wrong when you are starting out. It may have been the way a compensation plan was structured. Not being experienced you would take some one else�s word for that. It may have been the company it self or the top management, or the way the business was put together. All these things are a possibility.

I have been in companies that have gone out of business after 14 years of being a top company. I have also been in another company that changed overnight from one kind of a home based business opportunity to another kind of a business that changed the whole structure of the business. I believe they are still in business but nothing like they had when they started. The people at the top did well. Everyone else made some but struggled and soon quit.

It helps to know certain things to watch for. Many training plans that are put together are using leads. Leads sound like the answer as they make it so you do not have to rely on parents, family and friends. They don�t insist you make a list of 100 people you know to contact with some one else to help you, and on and on. I have found a business that does not use leads but uses buying customers. This plan is sound and good. They have been in business 9 years and have a thriving business and have a lot of happy members. To learn more about this business that I believe to be the best Home Based Business Opportunity, bar none, click on the link below.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

To Make Money Online you will need to pick a business of some kind. Network Marketing is very popular because you can start your business with a small start up cost. Many of the businesses are very reasonably priced. Some have higher start up costs and you will usually get more when the initial cost is more. So what ever your circumstances will allow you to pay for a start up fee can determine what make money online business you start.

Another important thing to consider with starting your make money online business is the training and the support. Each business will have some things that are unique to them but will also have some things that most businesses have. You need some people at the top of the company to be there for you when you need them to make money online. The training is usually free with each company. They want you to succeed, because if you don�t they don�t succeed either.

There can be additional training from different people that want to help you make money online too. It is their business and livelihood, so it can get pretty expensive. Before starting additional training, ask around. Ask other network marketing people who have taken their training. Making money online is easy to get sucked into things because you want to succeed. I took some classes learning to use social networking as a way to recruit. I found it helpful as I was very new to using the computer and any program that was on the computer was a challenge for me. I took more classes than I needed and paid more money that I should have. This is very easy to do.

This is true with buying leads too. Most network marketing companies use leads to make money online. They have many different kinds and the more you pay the better they are supposed to be. They base the cost on the age of the leads and the quantity of the leads you are buying. They also get different amounts of information from a lead and some are suppose to be pre-qualified. I have tried many different kinds of leads to make money online, lead companies and different types within the companies. They are not what they say they will be or do. They seem like they should be the answer to what you need to have to build your business and make money online. They are not. They are a big expense with very little return.

An exceptionally good company will sell customers instead of leads to make money online. Your customers will buy products from which you will receive a commission. As your customers build up, your income will grow as well. Looking carefully at each business, you will see what you like about each and what you don�t like. There are many advantages to having customers instead of building with distributors to make money online. Some of your customers will turn into distributors because they like the products and want to tell their friends about them. Then they realize, why not get them as my customers and make some money too.

I hope you will find the perfect business for yourself and that you will be successful in making money online. When you make money online, you will feel successful and gain the income you are looking to make.

To your success,

49. Make Money Online No. 3*

MAKE MONEY ONLINE

There are many ways offered to make money online. If you are looking for a particular business for making money online you can google the name of that business and you will find a lot of information for that particular business. Network Marketing is a very popular type of business and one to check out. There are a lot of Network Marketing businesses advertising to Make Money Online.

Many Network Marketing companies are well known, have good reputations and good products. They may not have the best compensation plans for making money or making money online. Some are still not online but most are. It will be to your advantage and you will benefit from checking out each company thoroughly. I like to know who the President of the company is and is he the founder of the company. Who are the board of directors and how much experience do they and the President of the company have.

The age of the company is very important. Most businesses fail during the first five years, so if they survive five years and are still doing well and growing, is a very good sign. This is even better if a company is ten years old, has survived and doing well. With making money online you will want to know if the company is in debt or debt free and if it is owned by the company or if it is publicly owned. These things are easy to understand the importance. Companies need to be financially solvent to stay successful.

The products are of large importance for a make money online business. You want to have a business that has products that you like and that you know people want and need.

To build your business to make money online, your business will need to have a training plan that will allow you to grow your business. Many companies use leads for this purpose. Leads are not effective and you will find that the money you spend on leads will be wasted. If you can find a business that sell customers, your make money online business will grow steadily and your income will grow as your business grows.

I wish you well in your pursuit of making money online,

50. Make Money Online No. 2*

Make Money Online

There is a huge interest in how to make money online. Lots of people are doing that very thing, so why not you? If you have a business now with a company that has not been online but now is, it is easy to convert to online. They probably will want to give you a replicated website. This is very simple to do and can be done almost immediately. Then there site becomes your site with your personal information added.

If a business says that you will be able to make $5,000. in your first week, they are not telling you the truth. A much more true statement would be, instead of get rich quick. Making business online should be, get rich slowly. If they use leads and tell you how they are going to make you rich by putting a large amount of distributors in your business, they are not telling the truth. If they tell you they do not buy leads and they do buy customers, you will want to take a serious look at that business.

Good luck to you on your search. I hope you find Making Money Online as an educational adventure, as it truly is. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. A true leader is one that wants to help you become successful, not focused on themselves and what they want and their success.

2. Tips for Business Success in Today's Tough Market Place

By Storm Castle

Does your company do business to business prospecting? Have you ever considered using an outbound telemarketing company? If you are wondering if your business will be able to endure the current economic troubles, this article is exactly what you need to read. There are six tips that can help your business find success even in a bad economy.

The following six tips are ways your company can not only survive, but thrive during tough economic times. Increasing your marketing budget, using the power of leverage, focusing your efforts where they will be most effective, properly training your employees, providing excellent customer service and keeping a positive attitude are all ways to keep your business profitable in difficult economic times.

The first way for increasing profits during a recession may sound backwards, but increasing the amount of money you spend on marketing your business instead of reducing it is one thing that can help your business make a profit during a recession. Countless businesses make the mistake of considering their marketing an expense instead of an investment and wind up destroying their businesses by cutting back in this area.

The second tip is to use the power of leverage by hiring a business to business prospecting company to do outbound telemarketing for your business. This helps your team use their time more wisely.

The next tip is to focus your efforts where they will be most effective, which is spending time closing sales. When the telemarketing programs do their job effectively your team can spend the majority of their time making sales which means increased profits for you.

The fourth tip involves properly training your employees to work with the highly qualified leads they receive from these lead generation companies. Proper training will help them make the most of these leads and sales will go through the roof regardless of what is happening in the economy.

The fifth tip for business success in tough economic times is to provide excellent customer service. Getting repeat business is much more cost effective and profitable than having to constantly prospect for new business so it is vital to keep your current customers happy.

The sixth and final tip for business success in tough economic times is keeping a positive attitude. People have a tendency to create the exact amount of success they believe they will and your positive attitude will be reflected in your employees' attitudes and achievements as well as your own.

Implementing the six ways listed above can help your business to increase profits during a recession. Business to business prospecting is one area to concentrate your marketing efforts in since this will make four of the six ways happen. Then all you have to worry about are the last two ways including treating your clients to outstanding service and maintaining an optimistic outlook.

4. Secret Exposed: How the Google Search Engine Really Works

By Henry Zeng

While we don't often think about - or even care - how the Google search engine works, it is very important for an online marketer who is using search engine optimization, or natural search marketing for their online business to understand the basic principles that drive Google.

There are three main parts to Google: Googlebot, The Indexer, and the Query Processor. Each of these three parts is crucial to online businesses, believe it or not. Let's take a deep look at each of these Google elements to see how they work.

Googlebot is the search engine spider that comes to your website and spiders your pages. It isn't an actual spider, of course.

It actually works more like a web browser by calling a server and requesting pages, and downloading them - just as you do when you open your browser, type in an URI, and then the web page loads.

Googlebot, however, is run by big number of computers and performs this task much faster than one user could on their home or work personal computer. And Googlebot doesn't know if a website exists until a URL is put into their Add URL form, or until they find a link point to that site on another web page.

When Googlebot comes to a page, they take all the links from that page, and put them in a queue for crawling, and repeat this process over and over again. Once Googlebot has found a link, and downloaded the page, it hands that page off to the Indexer.

The Indexer stores the pages in Google's Index Data base. The Index then sorts all of the pages in its data base, alphabetically, by looking at all of the keywords on the pages. The Indexer does not pay any attention to what Google calls stop words, such as is, on, or, why, how, etc. It just pays attention to more important keyword type words.

The Indexer, after Indexing pages, waits for the Google Query Processor to ask it for a list of documents. A keyword is given to the Query Processor, which in turn asks the Indexer for a list of stored websites contain that keyword.

The Indexer then supplies the Query processor with a list of the documents, and the Query processor presents the documents to the user who requested the keyphrase.

You see, each element is important to the others. It all starts with the Googlebot finding your web page link on another site, or by you going to Google and using the Add form to submit your site.

8. Adelaide Small Business Need SEO

By Dr S Ausman

There are no secrets on how to rank high with the major search engines because effective search engine optimizations are now immense. What is search engine optimization? Before we discuss that thing, you have to understand first how search engines work and a bit of know-how.

Search engines are into providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was used. They are sophisticated pieces of technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase. Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn't relate to the search term, or if the results are old. People expect the most up-to-date and fresh information that is useful to them.

Updating your website everyday and adding some materials will help you get noticed by the search engines. So, if you are going to sell any type of product or service online, you have to optimize your website for the search engines, in order to boost traffic and sales. It is because over 90% of your business will likely come directly from search engine results. And for that reason, it is absolutely important to optimize your site for search engines for you to have the greatest deals in the entire world.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process by which webmasters or online business owners utilize strategic copy to augment their website's status. It is certain that the internet has grown so fast over the years and the competition for the best search engine position has created an enormous market. Therefore, better understanding the fundamental elements of Search Engine Optimization is vital for an online business' success.

Making use of effective search engine optimization techniques will improve the page rank of your website. There are many tricks that can be used to increase page rank; the most effective method is to provide high quality content consistently. This seems like a simple concept but there are many websites that fails to provide content that visitors find interesting. Sites which provide content that are interesting, well-written and regularly updated create highly engaged visitors who are more likely to return to the website in the coming days. So, if you can set your website apart from those boring, lifeless sites then do it. You'll surely have a step closer to achieving high page rank through search engine optimization.

The next significant factor for an effective search engine optimization is to include keywords and phrases within your content. To make sure that you are properly targeting your market, you have to make sure that the keywords and phrases you have on your site are the keywords and phrase that your site is actually optimized for. The more keywords you use in your content, the more likely it is that online visitors will find your site when they do some research with those words. If you are unfailing with these techniques, then your overall search engine optimization will increase, boosting your page rank.

You should also have to develop a linking strategy as a part of your search engine optimization. Not only does this provide free advertising for your site, but it makes the impression that your site is imperative because of its affiliated links. For each link that you have pointing back to you, that is another chance for your potential customer to find you. The more inbound links that you have pointing to your site, the higher you will be ranked in the search engines.

Another is to develop a content stratagem. People who get to search from the internet are looking for information. The more information you provide for them and the more helpful it is, the more likely you will make the sale. Writing articles is the most effective way to build up content for your site. When writing articles to post on your site, make sure that you develop a clear means of arranging their content. You can do this by simply adding a new page to your site. This will allow room for extra articles to be added as you write them, and will allow you to build up an archive of articles which will maintain to draw online visitors. Make sure also that you have included your archived articles in a directory that is next to the root web of your site so that the search engines will catalog your online articles.

Always keep in mind that search engine optimization methods are important in developing your site's status. With that thing in mind, make sure that you write high-quality, keyword rich content and link your site to and from a deliberate family of other sites. These things will help improve your site's popularity and coerce increased business through your online business.

10. Get More Business with Autoresponders

By David Jessee

These days, most everyone is familiar with an autoresponder, although many don't know why they are beneficial to businesses. If you aren't familiar with autoresponders, you would probably find yourself amazed with them. An autoresponder can help your business by automatically emailing your clients and customers with a preset message that will help to increase your sales.

An autoresponder can help your list of clients grow, even send each one of them their own personalized email message. If you choose, you can also follow up each individual email with repeated emails, varying the content whenever you wish. These programs will also allow you to keep track of conversations, and send out broadcast email messages whenever you have news or new products to offer your clients.

As research in the past has shown, personalized email from autoresponders is a great way to boost your business. When you send a personalized email to one of your clients, the autoresponder by can address him or her by their name - which always makes a customer take notice. While you could do this yourself using traditional email, it could take you a few hours if you have a long list of customers.

Autoresponders make sending personalized email a snap. All you need to do is set up your email template, then select where you like the name to go. You can add everyone in your customer list to the autoresponder, which makes sending emails a snap. Once you have everything ready to go, all you need to do is send out the emails with one simple click. Best of all, you don't have to set it up again when you need to send out broadcast messages.

Although there are some people who will buy products after one or two emails, most people require about seven or eight emails before they will purchase anything. Autoresponders can really help you there, as they will do all of the emailing for you. You dont have to keep sending manual emails or anything like that. All you need to do is set up the email address, type in your preset message, and then feel free to send it as many times as you like.

Through the use of an autoresponder you can really boost your business. If you run an Internet marketing business, this tool will prove to be invaluable. You can spend less time sending messages and more time doing what you enjoy. If you've never tried an autoresponder before, you owe it yourself to check out everything they will do for you and your business. Online businesses can get a lot of emails on a daily basis, which is where the autoresponder will really start to shine and show you just how great of an asset it really is.

12. Adwords Management - 7 Keys to Success: Part 1

By George Kristopher

Most people advertising in Adwords today don't realize that they are losing tons of customers and leads all due to the fact that they don't know the 7 Key things they must do to set up a successful adwords campaign. If you follow these 7 key steps to setting up your adwords campaign, not only will your ad show up a lot higher in Google, but you'll also pay less per click than people advertising below you! Applying these 7 Crucial Steps will increase the amount of clicks you're getting per day and at the same time decrease the amount of money you're having to spend now!

Optimize Your Campaign For Google Are all of your keywords stuffed into one or just a few adgroups? Google hates it when campaigns are like this and determines that your campaign has 0 Relevancy! I know this strategy works, so for all of my clients I make their campaigns Super Relevant by taking each individual keyword and putting it in ad adgroup all on it's own! I know, it's days worth of work, but it reduces their click cost by an incredible amount! If you don't follow crucial step #1 you're going to be slapped! This means that Google will charge you insane amounts of money for your clicks and give your ads horrible placement.

Optimize your ads for Google The structure of your ads play a huge role in determining how much you pay per click. Just like in step #1 Google is obsessed with "Relevancy". Google's idea of a perfect ad actually has the keyword that was searched on show up twice in the ad; Once in the ad title, and once in the ad text. If Google see's that your ad displaying for the keyword, "injury attorney" actually has the keyword "injury attorney" appearing in your ad title and inyour ad text then Google is going to reward your ad for being perfectly relevant to the keyword that was searched on.

Google is going to reward you in two ways, 1) by charging you less per click and 2) by giving your ad a higher ad placement! But that's not all! Who searches on the keyword "injury attorney" will be more inclined to click on your ad because the actual keyword they searched on shows up twice in your ad! That means that by optimizing your ads you get more clicks, you spend less, AND you get higher ad placement! It's a win win situation!

You might ask, "Well how will I ever have time to write a super targeted ad like that for every keyword I have? That seems impossible!" Well, if you don't have time you should make time. My company write a super targeted ad for EVERY keyword that you have! It's a huge load of work, but we've found it's definitely worth it for our clients. Stay tuned for part 2 of this article series, on "Optimizing your site for Google and Keyword Swiping".

16. Google Gets Voice
Google GrandCentral has grown all up is being relaunched as Google Voice. This service will continue in beta testing with many new features. Grand Central was a start up "one-number access" telephone service that was purchased by Google soon after its debut.

This service will be styled similar to the Skype telephony business model, in that some of the calls are free, and international long distance will be offered at attractive rates way below what normal phone charges would be. As an example, calls to Canada reportedly will be one cent per minute.

This will be a great service for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small office/home office workers, which now includes distance workers, telecommuters and digital nomads. Get in line and queue up for a free Google Voice number.

From The Blogosphere:

Google Voice Blog: Moving to Google Voice!

We are happy to announce that we have made a number of improvements to GrandCentral and are relaunching the service as Google Voice.

Google Voice Speaks of World Domination

Google Voice is a free service that offers "one number for life," so I recently came across your blog and have been reading along.

Get Ready For Google Voice

The folks over at Google are working on a new project called Google Voice. According to the Google Blog site the first beta testing will be for GrandCentral [...]

17. Depression Cooking Teaches
Check out Google Trends this morning, and you will see that Great Depression Cooking tops the charts. The television news anchors are starting to own up to the fact that we are in a depression, and not just your ordinary run of the mill recession.

Imports are down 24% and the economy in the US alone shrank over 6% in just one month. If you think there is any good news in this, it probably is only the fact we need to learn to individually become self reliant again. We can't sustain an economy where the only growth is in government.

If you have already lost your job, and are scratching your head as to what you will do when the unemployment insurance runs out, you may have figured out that it probably won't be a job like you had before. We are headed back to a more mercantile style society, where we each make and trade goods and services. Do you believe you can now start your own small office-home office based on new skills found learned and linked on the Internet?

If you are on your own SOHO quest, you may want to consider investing in and learning about working online. In many ways it is a quite separate and parallel economy. Almost unrelated to what is happening in the real world sector.

An alternative avocation is taking up the art of Depression Style Cooking.

18. SpiderWeb Will Rock the Web
Whoa Baby! This blog is getting whiskers. Anyone that has followed my path will know that I now have been heavy into educating myself about Internet marketing. Thus, the reason for no posts.

But I have been busy investigating. One of the schemes is a beta program known as The SpideWeb Marketing System. If you have seen it in passing, but did not consider it...keep looking. This had the potential to be the next big monetizing scheme for the web.

Many have tried to create a self-sustained or auto-pilot system. This supposedly started out with 12 streams of income, but now has 22. I have a gut feeling you have to work it like any other business.

It still is in beta, so don't hope for much. I had numerous conversation with the owners and management team of this system about creating an inner circle training program. Alas, everyone wants something for nothing. You can generate free leads, but then you have to know what to do with them.

Check out my blog on the subject, too, at "The SpiderWeb System Information and Reviews".

19. How to Produce 365 Videos in One Year
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you have been involved in the blogosphere for long, you know that many bloggers are gravitating towards video aka Video blogs, Vlogs, Vidcasts, or a Video Podcast.

This is a heads up on Mark Wielgus at 45n5.com. Mark is on top of online trends, and I am here to tell you that he researches, tests, and reports on things you will come to appreciate on a daily basis. All the information in this post was gleaned from 45n5. My belief is that Mark combines some marketing savvy with geekdom knowhow. He even writes simple, but useful utility programs and then gives them away for free on the blog. Here is a recent link to one he dubs "Keyword Scrubber".

45n5.com has turned into one of the few blogs I simply must check out on a daily basis. Now Mark is committed to deciphering Affiliate Marketing as a top priority. Another project he is combining with this effort is his personal mission to produce and post a video every day in 2008.

I think with 365 videos in the planning, his little experiment is one to watch for trends, plus the techniques, tips and tricks he is bound to uncover along the way. So, if you want to make 365 videos in one year, watch this guy in 2008 and I think you will learn something.

20. Prioritize Your Blogging for 2008
(Archived in: Social Media Marketing Social Media Optimization)

Welcome to the New Year! I have been spending the last week planning for 2008, which has included changes to my blogging style. If you follow my blogs, you know that I have decided to concentrate on Digital Nomads and The Rugged Notebooks Blog as my main focus for blogging, and with less frequent posting to this blog and The Sovereign Journey.

This is not for a lack or loss of interest, but merely a necessity of time management. Regardless, my blog niche revolves around the central theme of mobility and using technology to be independent. So, you can always check back here and/or catch my more frequent updates at the Rugged Notebooks or Digital Nomads sites. My plan this year is to move to private domains.

One thing I have been doing is writing more focused posts...themed, if you will, or a series of posts on a subject of interest. Recently, this has had a major slant towards telecom, and in particular new gadgets like MagicJack and VoIP telephoney solutions like Google GrandCentral.

I am finding that being more focused on a particular subject area makes it easier and more interesting to research, test, review, and write. I think my readers appreciate it a well and it is helping in the SERPS.

If you are still blogging, drop me a line and let me know how you are getting on. There seems to have been a drop in the number of friends I met online in 2007 that have continued to blog, or scaled back like I have. -Digital Nomad

21. Twelve Step Program for Email Addicts
(Archived in: Online Usability Reviews)

I saw this over at the BigString 2.0 website and thought it was good advice. BigString is an interesting concept in itself, which I will let you discover for yourself. These 12 items have been edited somewhat, so not to get dinged for duplicate content. There were some typos in the original text anyway. Enjoy.

1. Do not send email when you are angry. Wait until you calm down before you send that email. Feelings and thoughts can be difficult to interpret and easily misconstrued.

2. Never send a sarcastic email that could be taken out of context. Sarcasm and email do not mix. You can easily offend someone in an email without intent to do so.

3. Do not send email gossip. You never know where the email will end up. Just make a commitment to yourself not to participate in any gossip.

4. Never end significant relationships via email. Email is the equivalent of an electronic paper trail. Not good for any sour ending, whether business or personal.

5. If you don't want your boss or coworkers to see it, better not send that email from work.

6. Never put anything in writing that may come back to haunt you. A good overall policy. Not just for email.

7. Never, ever, hit ‘Reply to All’ when you just want to send an email to one individual.

8. Don’t email pictures of yourself to others. Especially, online acquaintances and complete strangers.

9. Don’t make promises or commitments via email that you cannot or will not keep.

10. When you send attachments, be sure that you have selected the correct files and documents.

11. Good advice from New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, “Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email.”

12. Try BigString recallable email. If you do happen to make errors...the recallable, erasable, and non-forwardable features will help to correct such mistakes.

22. How to Build 10-Minute Affiliate Website Mashups
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

If you are searching for ways to be innovative with your online marketing, then here is another plug for many of the ideas featured at 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. No, this is not a paid post.

This is the good stuff, it's an addendum to the post on "30 Websites in 30 Days", and Mark calls this his YouTube-Ebay-Amazon Affiliate Website Mashup Thingy.

I have had a few email exchanges with Mark, and these are a few of his cautionary thoughts by way of how he has explained the ideas behind how it should work. Most people will not succeed with this mashup concept, or any other website scripting without the underlying concept and knowledge (or experience from learning) of how to build such a niche site.

Cranking out "out of the box" and rubber stamp solutions is what everybody else is doing. Doing the same thing that everyone else is doing online will bring the same results...which happens to be not making any money online. This also happens to mirror Einstein's theory of insanity, and he was no dummy. It's also making many people wealthy for some pretty worthless online information products.

So, if you use the script out of the box, most of your money will be made from luck or successful keyword research (aka) what words and topics you use to build these niche minisites in mass production.

Now is the time to learn. Take the time to consider doing it right. - Digital Nomad

23. A SOHO Reprise of Honest Riches System
(Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

A 25 Year Old Entrepreneur Making a Living Online from Home

You probably have read about or heard of The Rich Jerk and Chis X of Day Job Killer. If not you better stop and do a Google search right now. About 2 years ago, Holly Mann, a young mother started to successfully market directly against high profile Internet marketing gurus like these guys.

Living in a foreign country with no job and few resources, Holly decided she could research, design, and deliver a kinder and gentler approach to online marketing. Evidently she found her niche selling "How-To" information, because she has become successful in a short period of time (well, a couple of years).

"Honest Riches 2" is a 95 page proven guide. Holly shows all the techniques she has used to make money online through affiliate programs starting with no website and no start-up money, then on to free websites that can easily be setup with little or no experience, including free advertising that most people don't know or think about.

Yes, it seems possible to make money online and work from home just about anywhere (Holly lives in Thailand), but don't quit your day job just yet. You need a system and you need the right tools and knowledge to be successful. Changing your career is a life altering decision.

Before taking the leap, do plenty of due diligence and adequate research for information and resources about starting an online business and becoming an online entrepreneur. This e-book is geared for beginners, but is a valuable resource for all online marketers. No "get-rich-quick" schemes here....like any real business endeavor, it involves some effort and some work. But you will learn strategies and techniques to start making money right away.

24. John Chow Calls It Quits on Agloco
(Archive in: Weblogs and Business)

After many attempts at beating a dead horse, everyone involved in the Agloco fiasco can now uncross their fingers. It ain't gonna happen. Even John Chow has finally admitted defeat along with almost 30,000 signed up in his Agloco network.

Here is a partial screenshot of his last post on the subject, and here is a link to the post about the Agloco demise at TechCruch. Like John says...it shows that all those MBAs don't always muster up success, even the second time around. For posterity, watch the video on the Agloco viewbar attributes, and think about all the gurus that were on board for this.

25. How to Build 30 Websites in 30 Days
(Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Online Usability)

It may sound implausible, but it is not impossible. Follow this Digital Nomad and you know that just feeding the blogs is not going to cut it anymore. Blogging should be part of your online marketing network, but not a diversion.

I have been searching heavy for the folks that are making it online and not the wannabes. One such source is 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. This guy tells it straight. You have to hunt an peck to find the good stuff, and you will have to piece it together, but I think a good start is on this website.

Mark will show you how to find a niche, create a website in 10 minutes, and then shove it in the pipeline with some SEO tricks. Theoretically, there is no reason why you could not do this everyday for a month and then have 30 minisites up and running for affiliate programs in thirty days. That's if you want to have a website between you and the merchant.

I am finding that you maybe don't even need a website to market affiliate programs, but you do have to commit to spending some money for Google Adword campaigns. Better have a pad and pen ready.

There is always something to learn. Take the time to learn something new each day. - Digital Nomad

American Jobs: Going, Going...

Jane Birnbaum
2005
Reprinted from: AFLCIO.org

Corporations are escalating efforts to ship out jobs that pay well and build the middle class�and now they are aiming their axes at workers in the nation�s fast-growing white-collar sector.

The U.S. recession that began in March 2001 officially ended in November 2001, say the National Bureau of Economic Research and other analysts.

So why are so many workers still out of jobs?

�We�ve declared victory over the recession, and we�re still laying off a couple hundred thousand workers a month,� says Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.). �If it weren�t so painful for so many people who are out of work, it would be hilarious. But it isn�t.�

The U.S. economy has 3.2 million fewer jobs today than it did when President George W. Bush took office, including 2.5 million fewer manufacturing jobs. Bush appears headed for the dubious distinction of being the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a decline in total employment during his term in office.

In the past three years, nearly one in five U.S. workers was laid off from the job, according to The Disposable Worker: Living in a Job-Loss Economy, a Rutgers University�V University of Connecticut report released in late July. Among workers laid off from full-time work, roughly one-fourth were earning less than $40,000 annually, the report finds.

In July, a total of 15 million U.S. workers were either unemployed, underemployed or too discouraged to job hunt, according to the Labor Department.

In contrast, within a year after the official end of the last recession in March 1991, the nation had embarked on six straight months of solid job growth.

This time, say economists, there are crucial differences: Companies are sending well-paying manufacturing and service jobs to countries with few, if any, protections for workers and the environment. And these jobs are probably not coming back.

�The movement of jobs and production overseas is handcuffing the recovery,� according to Mark Xandi, chief economist at Economy.com, as quoted in the New York Times.

�With NAFTA, the World Trade Organization and other trade deals of the last decade, American corporations are now tapping into a global supply of workers who can be trained to do everything from design to production, maintenance to marketing,� says Jeff Faux, economist and founding president of the Economic Policy Institute. �And while these workers become more productive, their pay doesn�t rise, because in many of these countries, to be a labor organizer means you risk winding up in a ditch with a bullet in your head.�

American jobs sent out of the country aren�t likely to return anytime soon. �As long as employers can take advantage of much lower labor costs in other countries, there�s no compelling reason to bring back many of these well-paying jobs,� says Ron Hira, an engineer and assistant professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. �Policymakers seem to be at a loss as to what to do about this problem.�

Meanwhile, the Bush administration directs multimillion-dollar tax cuts to the wealthy while supporting trade laws that encourage offshore outsourcing. And even as Bush opposes unemployment insurance extensions for some 1 million Americans who have exhausted their benefits, his administration refuses to embrace job-creating programs that would repair the nation�s infrastructure and help balance devastated state budgets.

�The Bush administration doesn�t seem to care about jobs,� says Center for Economic and Policy Research co-founder Dean Baker. �To retain and create jobs, there have to be policy changes, and I don�t think this administration is willing to make them.�

Manufacturing: America�s Foundation Is Crumbling

�American taxpayers...do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs.�
�USWA President Leo Gerard

Manufacturing jobs traditionally have provided high wages and good benefits that allow workers to care for their families. But 2.5 million manufacturing jobs have disappeared since President Bush took office in early 2001.

Multinational corporations are transferring jobs to countries where workers earn low wages and have few or no protections. And small U.S. businesses are laying off workers or shutting their doors because they can�t meet foreign competitors� prices.

African American workers have been hit particularly hard. Because of manufacturing job losses, the unemployment rate among African Americans is rising twice as fast as it is for whites and faster than in any downturn since the mid-1970s. �The number of jobs and the types of jobs that have been lost has severely diminished the standing of many blacks in the middle class,� says William Lucy, president of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and AFSCME secretary-treasurer.

Manufacturing job loss starts the downward spiral

The loss of good manufacturing jobs has ripped apart communities and permanently lowered living standards for families throughout the United States, including in Rockford, Ill., 70 miles from Chicago. The northern Illinois city is historically second only to Cleveland as a center for machine tooling, the making of tools used in machine manufacturing.

Machine tooling, which traditionally employs the most highly skilled manufacturing workers including members of the Machinists and UAW, is the bedrock of America�s manufacturing industry.

But the bedrock is crumbling. The Rockford area lost more than 20 percent of its manufacturing jobs�about 10,000�between May 2000 and 2003, according to MBG Information Services President and Economist Charles McMillion�s analysis of Department of Labor data.
General manufacturing jobs have been among those lost in Rockford, including jobs held by Steelworkers Local 745 members at the Goodyear tire plant. USWA members at Goodyear now number 750, down from 1,650 in 1999, before the corporation shipped the jobs to Asia and South America.

But most manufacturing jobs lost in Rockford have been in machine tooling. At Greenlee/Textron, which makes drill bits and tools for electrical contractors, about 180 Machinists now represented by IAM Local 1553 are employed today, down from about 900 in the late 1980s. The 112-year-old crown jewel of Rockford machine tooling�Ingersoll International�declared bankruptcy this spring and laid off 300 employees in Rockford and 70 in Michigan, leaving only skeleton crews of managers and a few contract workers.

�The lesson of Rockford,� says Faux, �is it disproves the free traders� argument that America could afford to lose manufacturing jobs in areas like textiles and steel because we would ultimately triumph in global competition by making the things hardest to make. In fact, those things are machine tools�and we�re losing them.�

A loss of manufacturing jobs reverberates throughout the community�and ultimately the nation. When manufacturing factories aren�t being built, maintained or expanded, jobs disappear in areas such as construction.

�Our union has about 30 percent unemployment,� says Mark Bramble, business agent for Electrical Workers Local 364 in Rockford. �Guys burn through their unemployment, lose all their benefits, get divorced and then go where the grass looks greener or settle for working as a greeter at Wal-Mart.�

A question of national security

There�s a sense of betrayal in Rockford these days. �Free trade was sold to America with the line that it helps us export more goods,� says Eric Anderberg, who manages his family�s 37-year-old machine tool company, Dial Machines Inc. �But what�s happened is the exportation of our jobs and means of production so multinational corporations can exploit foreign labor and sell their goods back to us.�

Today Dial employs 40 workers, down from 75 in the late 1990s. It recently lost work to a lower-bidding Czech Republic manufacturer that nabbed a contract making parts for a supplier of General Electric Wind Energy Corp.

Anderberg and other Rockford employers worry that a Chinese government-owned machine tooling company, which already has bought two divisions of Ingersoll International, may now be poised to buy another�one containing intellectual property, including high-level research and design and military technology. �I cannot understand how our government can justify not only the debasement of our manufacturing industries but also our national security in a time of war,� he says.

The Rockford community and U.S. national security would get a boost from Buy America provisions House Armed Services Committee Chair Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) added to legislation authorizing the 2004 Pentagon budget.

Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), who represents the Rockford area and helped write the bill, says, �The Pentagon wouldn�t care if everything it buys is made in China.� Joined by armsmakers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the White House says the Buy America provisions are �burdensome, counterproductive and have the potential to degrade U.S. military capabilities.� But the administration does not mention jobs.

�American steelworkers are also American taxpayers, and they do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs,� says USWA President Leo Gerard.

White-Collar Jobs: America�s Growing Export

Ask anyone which sector of the U.S. economy comes to mind as the most likely to be shipped overseas, and chances are he or she will say manufacturing.

But though the United States lost 2.5 million manufacturing jobs since the Bush presidency beginning in 2001, U.S. corporations now are racing to outsource white-collar jobs�including work in computer sciences, engineering, entertainment, financial and medical services�to countries where workers earn far less.

Terry Antisdel was a Chicago-area engineering associate for Lucent Technologies Inc. and its predecessor AT&T for 35 years until his entire 42-member International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 81 was laid off in July. He figures his job will end up in India or China. �The words management used were a 'less-expensive offshore site,� � recalls Antisdel, who estimates Lucent will send a total of about 5,000 U.S. jobs offshore this year. �I feel let down,� he says. �Companies used to provide jobs for people, but now they�re just there to give money to executives, board members and shareholders.�

In late July, the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (WashTech), a Communications Workers of America affiliated group that helps high-tech workers win a voice at work, released a tape of a conference call in which IBM�s top human relations executives discussed transferring 3 million U.S. service jobs to countries such as China and India by 2015.

Testifying in June before a House Committee on Small Business investigating the globalization of white-collar jobs, AFL-CIO Department for Professional Employees President Paul Almeida said, �If these cost-saving jobs shifts are taken to their logical extreme, even American corporations should be wondering where their future consumers will be located and how they will buy the goods and services.�

A Forrester Research study predicts U.S. employers will move about 3.3 million white-collar service jobs and $136 billion in wages overseas in the next 15 years, up from $4 billion in 2000.

White-collar jobs going and gone

The jobs already are leaving. By the end of this year, General Electric will have sent a total of 20,000 aircraft and medical research and design jobs to India and China, according to Business Week. And the Accenture consulting firm, which incorporated in Bermuda after splitting from Enron accountant Arthur Andersen, plans to send 5,000 accounting and software jobs to the Philippines in 2004, the magazine says.

According to WashTech, Microsoft plans to eliminate at least 800 full-time call-center jobs near Dallas and shift the work to India and Canada in the next fiscal year. It would be the largest one-time firing of full-time Microsoft employees in the company�s history. WashTech says a Microsoft senior vice president recently urged company managers to �pick something to move offshore today,� though Microsoft publicly has repeated it will not lay off U.S. workers and send the jobs offshore.

While the Bush administration remains silent about offshore outsourcing, states such as New Jersey are considering corrective measures. New Jersey legislators acted after the state outsourced the electronic administration of welfare and food stamp benefits to a company that then sent the jobs to India. When New Jersey citizens called to ask about benefits, they were connected with Indian workers who gave Americanized names.

A bill authored by state Assembly member Linda Greenstein (D) would have required such offshore subcontractors to disclose to New Jersey residents their employers� true names and locations. But even this common- sense measure had no chance in the face
of massive opposition launched by Indian and American corporate interests, such as Verizon.

�We got a copy of an e-mail Verizon sent managers in New Jersey, thanking them for sending 1,800 e-mails opposing the bill,� says Don Rice, CWA�s New Jersey legislative coordinator. Activists and legislators hope to bring the bill to a vote before the legislative session ends this year.

U.S. security at stake

Offshore outsourcing of white-collar work also raises security concerns. U.S. firms are sending mapping and other such work to India, Pakistan, China, the Philippines and other countries with lower labor costs, says John Palatiello, administrator of the Council on Federal Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services.

�This practice raises issues regarding access to data about the location of�Kcritical infrastructure by individuals in foreign countries who have not been through any degree of security clearance and where control of access to data simply does not exist.�

Bush�s January 2002 State of the Union address made clear the danger of access to data by unfriendly foreign operatives: �Our discoveries in Afghanistan confirmed our worst fears....We have found diagrams of American nuclear power plants and public water facilities�Ksurveillance maps of American cities and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America.�

Activists are demanding Congress review trade and tax policies that encourage white-collar offshore outsourcing. Without government intervention, warns Almeida, �short-sighted corporate policy focused on saving a few bucks in the short run will have an enormous deleterious impact on the entire U.S. economy.�

Low-Wage Jobs: Betray America�s Workers

Photo Credit: Ernie Englander/The New Press

Laid-off U.S. workers thrust into a hostile job market are discovering another ugly part of the American economy: low-wage work that pays too little to keep even a small family out of poverty.

Nearly a quarter of all U.S. workers labor in jobs that pay little but are essential to society. Sixty percent of these workers are female, and many are people of color. They care for nursing home patients and clean offices at night. They prepare food, answer call-center phones and care for our children.

These jobs generally pay less than the $8.85 hourly wage the U.S. government says it takes to keep a family of four out of poverty. Even so, many low-wage jobs offer only part-time hours, with few or no benefits. And workers in low-paying but essential jobs often are treated as disposable, quickly fired if they get sick or stay home with a sick child.

As more good jobs leave the country, the percentage of low-wage jobs keeps growing. By 2010, about 30 percent of working Americans won�t be making even poverty wages, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A Labor Department list of the 10 occupations likely to show the largest job growth this decade is dominated by jobs that typically pay poorly�food preparation, customer service, office clerking, security and food service.

This world of low-wage jobs and the workers who do them is illuminated in The Betrayal of Work: How Low-Wage Jobs Fail 35 Million Americans, published on Labor Day by the New Press. �Traditionally, there was a promise in this country that if you worked hard, you could take care of your family,� explains author Beth Shulman, an attorney and former United Food and Commercial Workers vice president. �That promise has been broken�Kand we have built our national prosperity on their backs.�

No job is inherently low wage

Workers in low-wage jobs frequently are labeled as lacking skills and in need of training to move into better-paying positions. But while education is a traditional route to higher pay, Shulman contends no job is inherently low wage.
�Take autoworkers, who had horrible jobs that became good ones because of unions and social legislation,� she says. �The same thing must happen with currently low-paying service- sector jobs. In Las Vegas, for example, the housekeeper represented by the Hotel Employees Restaurant Employees has decent wages and benefits thanks to unionization.�

Low-wage jobs tend to imprison the workers who perform them because of what Shulman calls a �piling on� of hardships. Workers in low-wage jobs are unlikely to have sick leave or health insurance or make enough money to afford reliable transportation or child day care. At the same time, they are likely to be in inflexible situations in which being late or missing work can result in a quick firing.

�It�s not just that you make less money in these jobs, but you have none of the basic things many of us take for granted, such as health insurance, time to care for a family member, adequate child care, some kind of retirement security, even a telephone,� Shulman says. �And this applies to one in four U.S. workers.�

Gap is growing between U.S. rich and poor

As low-wage work continues to replace jobs that pay well, the U.S. economy increasingly resembles that of a less-developed nation, with a wide gulf between rich and poor. Among all western industrialized nations, the United States has the greatest income and wage inequalities, with the best-paid 10 percent of workers making 16.6 times the amount made by the lowest-paid 10 percent, according to a 2003 analysis by the United Nations Development Program. �That�s the way we�ve been moving for some time now and continue to move,� says Heather Boushey, a Center for Economic and Policy Research economist.

To reverse this trend, the United States needs to change the rules of the game, according to Shulman. �For starters, we should immediately raise the minimum hourly wage to the poverty guideline for a family of four�$8.85 an hour versus the current $5.15 hourly federal minimum wage�and then have automatic increases so there�s not a big political battle every time it needs raising. Then, all Americans should have access to affordable health care. There are a variety of ways to do this, and we should just get it done.

�Finally, all American workers should be able to care for their children�to have access to affordable child care, and to stay with them when they�re sick or go to a PTA meeting without getting fired. The consequences for the children of today�s low-wage workers are enormous�they�re following their parents into this low-wage world.�

Companies in India celebrate
"loss of American jobs"

Mike Crane
December 2004
Reprinted from: Southern Party of Georgia website

In our previous article we reported how various companies in India were employed by the Republican National Committee and the Bush Re-election campaign (see: India claims big election victory and laughs at Americans).

One interesting comment that was documented in that article was:

As Vivek Paul, Wipro VC, said after the Presidential poll, �The elections are over and so is the rhetoric; it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans.�

Well a little research has found some estimates from within India about what that meant. First and foremost, it means that India is celebrating the "loss of American jobs." Folks, that is the jobs of friends, family or perhaps even your own.

Specifically on November 4, with time zone changes, roughly a day after the polls close the following was published in the India Times:

The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

And that is why they believe that "it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans." Does this mean that American companies put their plans on "hold" to minimize the impact on a close election?

But the folks in India gloat a little more:

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

A brief look at these numbers show what they call a documented American job loss of 48,237 for the first quarter of 2004. On an annual basis this would be 192,968 American jobs. And they expect American companies to now - step out - with their outsourcing plans.

Some will say that 192,968 jobs is not very many. But as you will see in coming articles that is just what is called BPO and is not the whole picture.

Lets look at the effect of three policies that affect American jobs:

Outsourcing - In this article it has been shown that it is at least close to 200,00 jobs a year for the BPO segment and expected to increase
H1-B visa program - allows high tech foreigners to take American jobs here without being counted in immigration totals. Used by many companies to train personnel for their foreign outsourcing programs. There are roughly a million H1-B visas active today.
Legal immigration of about 1 million a year and illegal immigration of about 3 million a year resulting in lower American wages and increased social costs.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are paying the salaries of the elected and appointed officials who are doing this to you. Is this what you want to pay for? If so, why are you reading material on this web site?

If not, you are being ignored!

It should be obvious to all that this trend can not continue forever. Are there any signs that it is getting better:

A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

That should answer that question beyond a reasonable doubt. Interesting that 15% of the outsourcing chief executives favor Red China! Remember these are the folks that make the big campaign contributions that have so much influence on many of your elected officials. How will you feel when YOUR job is sent to Red China?

If you do not agree with these policies you are being ignored and your elected officials are representing special interests more than you! If you believe that this is a serious problem it is time to get involved now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be stop these destructive trends.

The BPO and your elected officials are doing offshore calculus, are you?

BPO biggies do offshore calculus

TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2004 02:13:09 PM]

India�s silicon valley is delighted to move out of the limelight. The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

BPO bigwigs are already computing the gains from mega-offshoring plans on hold waiting for US presidential race to be over.

Though most of the industry majors refuse to comment on who will safeguard their interests better, they feel that economic benefits of transfer of jobs to low cost destinations will now overshadow the political rhetoric against outsourcing in the run up to the US poll.

The US presidential election was fueling the protests against job losses due to transfer of jobs.

�American law will remain the same and the outsourcing will go up irrespective of who wins. Already, we see our clients getting ready for bigger offshoring plans,�� says head of a leading Delhi-based BPO firm. Insiders also feel the American clients might be more open to talk about their outsourcing plans to low-cost destinations like India now.

Though Kerry�s tax proposals that seek to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas could deter fence-sitter, analysts feel they are no more than short-term sentiment dampeners. After initially branding the shipping of jobs to countries like India and China as a threat to the US economy, Kerry has gone on record saying he can�t stop outsourcing.

Clearly, what is of greater concern is that a clear decision comes soon, irrespective of whether it favours Bush or Kerry. Though Bush is more popular, the $ 2.6 billion BPO industry is convinced that �it will soon be difficult to differentiate between Democrats and Republicans.

Obviously sector�s fate is closely tied up with the US elections, with US accounting for over 70 % of India�s IT exports. A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

Costly Trade With China
Millions of U.S. jobs displaced

Robert E. Scott
October 9, 2007
Reprinted from: Economic Policy Institute

Contrary to the predictions of its supporters, China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed to reduce its trade surplus with the United States or increase overall U.S. employment. The rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 1997 and 2006 has displaced production that could have supported 2,166,000 U.S. jobs. Most of these jobs (1.8 million) have been lost since China entered the WTO in 2001. Between 1997 and 2001, growing trade deficits displaced an average of 101,000 jobs per year, or slightly more than the total employment in Manchester, New Hampshire. Since China entered the WTO in 2001, job losses increased to an average of 353,000 per year�more than the total employment in greater Akron, Ohio. Between 2001 and 2006, jobs were displaced in every state and the District of Columbia. Nearly three-quarters of the jobs displaced were in manufacturing industries. Simply put, the promised benefits of trade liberalization with China have been unfulfilled.

As a matter of policy, China tightly pegs its currency's value to that of the dollar at a rate that encourages a large bilateral surplus with the United States. Maintaining this peg required the purchase of about $200 billion in U.S. Treasury Bills and other securities in 2006 alone.¹ This intervention makes the yuan artificially cheap and provides an effective subsidy on Chinese exports; best estimates are that the rate of this effective subsidy is roughly 40%. China also engages in extensive suppression of labor rights; it has been estimated that wages in China would be 47% to 85% higher in the absence of labor repression. China has also been accused of massive direct subsidization of export production. Finally, it maintains strict, non-tariff barriers to imports. As a result, China's exports to the United States of $288 billion in 2006 were six times greater than U.S. exports to China, which were only $52 billion (Table 1). China's trade surplus was responsible for 42.6% of the United States' total, non-oil trade deficit. This is by far the United States' most imbalanced trading relationship. Unless and until China revalues (raises) the yuan and eliminates these other trade distortions, the U.S. trade deficit and job losses will continue to grow rapidly in the future.

Major findings of this study:

The 1.8 million jobs opportunities lost nationwide since 2001 are distributed among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with the biggest losers, in numeric terms: California (-269,300), Texas (-136,900), New York (-105,900), Illinois (-79,900), Pennsylvania (-78,200), North Carolina (-77,200), Florida (-71,900), Ohio (-66,100), Georgia (-60,400), and Massachusetts (-59,300) (Table 2A).
The 10 hardest-hit states, as a share of total state employment, are: New Hampshire (-13,000, -2.1%), North Carolina (-77,200, -2.0%), California (-269,300, -1.8%), Massachusetts (-59,300, -1.8%), Rhode Island (-8,400, -1.8%), South Carolina (-29,200, -1.6%), Vermont (-4,900, -1.6%), Oregon (-25,700, -1.6%), Indiana (-45,200, -1.5%), and Georgia (-60,400, -1.5%) (Table 2B).

China's entry into the WTO was supposed to bring it into compliance with an enforceable, rules-based regime, which would require that it open its markets to imports from the United States and other nations. The United States also negotiated a series of special safeguard measures designed to limit the disruptive effects of surging Chinese imports on domestic producers. However, the core of the agreement failed to include any protections to maintain or improve labor or environmental standards. As a result, China's entry into the WTO has further tilted the international economic playing field against domestic workers and firms, and in favor of multinational companies (MNCs) from the United States and other countries, and state- and privately-owned exporters in China. This has increased the global "race to the bottom" in wages and environmental quality and caused the closing of thousands of U.S. factories, decimating employment in a wide range of communities, states, and entire regions of the United States.

False promises

Proponents of China's entry into the WTO frequently claimed that it would create jobs in the United States, increase U.S. exports, and improve the trade deficit with China. President Clinton claimed that the agreement allowing China into the WTO, which was negotiated during his administration, "creates a win-win result for both countries" (Clinton 2000, 9). He argued that exports to China "now support hundreds of thousands of American jobs" and that "these figures can grow substantially with the new access to the Chinese market the WTO agreement creates" (Clinton 2000, 10). Others in the White House, such as Kenneth Liberthal, the special advisor to the president and senior director for Asia affairs at the National Security Council, echoed Clinton's assessment:

Let's be clear as to why a trade deficit might decrease in the short term. China exports far more to the U.S. than it imports [from] the U.S�.It will not grow as much as it would have grown without this agreement and over time clearly it will shrink with this agreement.²

Promises about jobs and exports misrepresented the real effects of trade on the U.S. economy: trade both creates and destroys jobs. Increases in U.S. exports tend to create jobs in the United States, but increases in imports tend to destroy jobs as imports displace goods that otherwise would have been made in the United States by domestic workers.

The impact of changes in trade on employment is estimated here by calculating the labor content of changes in the trade balance�the difference between exports and imports. Each $1 billion in computer exports to China from the United States supports American jobs. However, each $1 billion in computer imports from China displaces those American workers, who would have been employed making them in the United States. On balance, the net employment effect of trade flows depends on the growth in the trade deficit; not just exports. Another critically important promise made by the promoters of liberalized U.S.-China trade was that the United States would benefit because of increased exports to a large and growing consumer market in China. This market, in turn, was to be based on an expansion of the middle class that, it was claimed, would grow rapidly due to the wealth created in China by its entry into the WTO. However, the increase in U.S. exports to China has been overwhelmed by the growth of U.S. imports, as shown below.

Growing trade deficits and job losses

The U.S. trade deficit with China has increased from $50 billion in 1997 to $235 billion in 2006, an increase of $185 billion, as shown in Table 1. Between 1997 and 2001, prior to China's entry into the WTO, the deficit increased $9 billion per year on average. Between 2001 and 2006, after China entered the WTO, the deficit increased $30 billion per year on average.

While it is true that exports support jobs in the United States, it is equally true that imports displace them. The net effect of trade flows on employment must look at the trade balance. The employment impacts of growing trade deficits are estimated in this paper using an input-output model that estimates the direct and indirect labor requirements of producing output in a given domestic industry. The model includes 200 U.S. industries, 86 of which are in the manufacturing sector (see this paper's methodology appendix for further details).³

The model estimates the labor that would be required to produce a given volume of exports, and the labor that is displaced when a given volume of imports is substituted for domestic output.⁴ The job losses presented here represent an estimate of what sectoral employment levels would have been in the absence of growing trade deficits.⁵

U.S. exports to China in 1997 supported 138,000 jobs, but U.S. imports displaced production that would have supported 736,000 jobs, as shown in the bottom half of Table 1. Therefore, the $49 billion trade deficit in 1997 displaced 736,300 jobs in that year. Job displacement rose to 1,000,000 jobs in 2001 and 2,763,000 in 2006. Prior to China's entry into the WTO, an average of 101,000 jobs per year were displaced by growing trade deficits between 1997 and 2001. After 2001, an average of 353,000 jobs per year were lost.

Growth in trade deficits with China has reduced demand for goods produced in every region of the United States and has led to job displacement in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as shown in Table 2A and Figure A.⁶ More than 100,000 jobs were lost in California, Texas, and New York each. Jobs displaced due to growing deficits with China equaled or exceeded 2.0% of total employment in states such as North Carolina and New Hampshire, as shown in Table 2B. An alphabetical list of job losses by state is shown in Table 2C.

Figure A

Table 2c

Growing trade deficits with China have clearly reduced domestic employment in traded goods industries, especially in the manufacturing sector, which has been hard hit by plant closings and job losses. Workers displaced by trade from the manufacturing sector have been shown to have particular difficulty in securing comparable employment elsewhere in the economy. More than one-third of workers displaced from manufacturing drop out of the labor force (Kletzer 2001, 101, Table D2). Average wages of those who secured re-employment fell 11% to 13%. Trade-related job displacement pushes many workers out of good jobs in manufacturing and other trade-related industries, often into lower-paying industries and frequently out of the labor market.

Some economists have quibbled with job-loss numbers extrapolated from trade flows, based on the presumption that aggregate employment levels in the United States are set by a broad range of macroeconomic influences, not just by trade flows. There is a grain of truth to this�the trade balance is but one of many variables affecting aggregate job creation in the United States.

That said, the employment impacts of trade identified in this paper can be interpreted as the "all else equal" effect of trade on domestic employment. The Federal Reserve, for example, may decide to cut interest rates to make up for job loss stemming from deteriorating trade balances (or any other economic influence), leaving net employment unchanged. This, however, does not change the fact that trade deficits by themselves are a net drain on employment.

Administration officials and other economists have argued that the capital inflow that is the mirror-image of trade deficits supports jobs in the United States by keeping interest rates lower than they would be absent this inflow. During the late 1990s, for example, these capital inflows fought rising trade deficits to a draw in terms of aggregate employment effects, and, through much of the 2000s recovery, interest-sensitive industries (housing and construction, for example) have surely expanded more than they would have absent foreign capital inflows. While these claims may be correct from a simple accounting standpoint, they do not support assertions that trade flows are a useless indicator of job loss.

First, and most simply, it is just not true that foreign capital inflows always make up trade-induced employment losses one-for-one. In the 2001 recession and the jobless recovery following, growing trade deficits accompanied aggregate job loss, even as interest rates scraped historical bottoms. Clearly, low interest rates do not always translate into enough growth in investment and consumption in interest-sensitive sectors to always sterilize the impact of growing trade deficits.

Second, the job-loss numbers identified in this report are a good measure of just how unbalanced the U.S. economy has become due to rising trade deficits. Tradable goods industries have hemorrhaged jobs, while interest-sensitive, often non-tradable, industries have seen rapid growth. At that point in the future when trade deficits begin to close (and this will happen�it is only a question of when and how), the U.S. economy will need to return many of the jobs displaced by rising trade deficits out of non-tradable and into tradable industries. Moving millions of workers back and forth between sectors is no mean trick, and accomplishing it without a recession in between will be hard; trying to do it after another couple of years of deficit growth�and an even more lopsided U.S. economy�will be even harder.

In short, while aggregate employment in the United States may well not respond job-for-job with the numbers reported in this paper on trade deficits with China, these numbers provide insight into how much harder other macroeconomic influences have to work to eliminate the employment drag from these deficits, and they provide a good (and ominous) measure of how lopsided employment growth in the U.S. economy has become owing to the unbalanced U.S.-China trade relationship.

Conclusion

The growing U.S. trade deficit with China has displaced huge numbers of jobs in the United States, and been a prime contributor to the crisis in manufacturing employment over the past six years. The current U.S.-China trade relationship is bad for both countries. The United States is piling up foreign debt, losing export capacity, and facing a more fragile macroeconomic environment. Meanwhile, China has become dependent on the U.S. consumer market for employment generation, has suppressed the purchasing power of its own middle class with a weak currency, and, most importantly, has held hundreds of billions of hard-currency reserves in low-yielding, risky assets, instead of investing them in public goods that could benefit Chinese households. Its repression of labor rights has suppressed wages, thus subsidizing its exports and making them artificially cheap. This relationship needs a fundamental change: addressing the exchange rate policies and labor standards issues in the Chinese economy are important first steps.

Methodology

This analysis utilizes an input-output model to estimate the relationships between changes in trade flows and production that could support domestic employment. The analysis covers trends in goods trade, which is dominated by manufactures. Services trade is not considered because of problems with the data, and because many of the services traded involve returns to capital and intellectual property that have little or no direct effect on employment. In addition, goods trade dominates the nation's international accounts.

This study uses the model developed in Rothstein and Scott (1997a and 1997b). This approach solves four problems that are prevalent in previous research on the employment effects of trade. Some studies look only at the effects of exports and ignore imports. Some studies include re-exports (transshipments)�goods produced outside the United States and shipped through this country to other nations�as U.S. exports. The trade data used in many studies is usually not adjusted for inflation. Finally, a single employment multiplier is often applied to all industries, despite differences in labor productivity and utilization.⁷

The model used here is based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment requirements tables, which were derived from the U.S. input-output tables that are published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. These tables are adjusted to 2000 price and productivity levels (BLS 2007b), in real, chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A base year with 2000 employment requirements was used to estimate the employment content of trade in all years covered in this study. This assumption was needed to control for the effects of technology. This technique isolates the effects of trade on employment from pure technology effects. This model is used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in goods trade flows in each of 200 industries. This study updates the 1987 input employment requirements table used in earlier reports in this series (Rothstein and Scott 1997a, 1997b).

This analysis requires four-digit, trade data based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (U.S. International Trade Commission 2007), deflated with industry-specific, chain-weighted price indices (BLS 2007a), which were updated using industry-specific producer price indexes (BLS 2007b).⁸ Trade data were downloaded from the U.S. International Trade Commission (2007) Web site in NAICS format. The data for 2006 are preliminary estimates; this report will be updated and expanded when the final 2006 trade data are released in June 2007. State-level employment effects are calculated by allocating imports and exports to the states on the basis of their share of four-digit, industry-level employment for 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau 2001).

The trade data were converted into chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A domestic employment requirements table for a particular base year was used to estimate the employment effects of trade in each year of the analysis, holding technology constant. The domestic employment requirement calculates the labor required to produce all of a given product within the United States. Thus, it reflects the complete labor content of output, including jobs indirectly supported in service industries. The base year of 2000 was chosen for this study because it was an approximate mid-point in the data covered in this study.

CPS data on employment by industry by was collected for each of the detailed sectors in the model. These data were used to calculate each state's share of national employment.

1. These purchases financed about one-quarter of the U.S. $857 billion current account deficit in 2006 (the broadest measure of all U.S. trade and income flows). But for these purchases, the reduced demand would have put significant downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. A substantial depreciation in the dollar would begin to improve the U.S. trade deficit within a few years.

3. See Ratner (2006) for a more complete, technical description of this model.

4. For the purposes of this report, it is necessary to distinguish between exports produced domestically and re-exports�which are goods produced in other countries, imported into the United States, and then re-exported to other countries, in this case to China. Since re-exports are not produced domestically, their production does not support domestic employment and they are excluded from the model used here. See Table 1 for information about the levels of U.S. re-exports to China in this period.

5. This model assumes that everything else is held constant and the results are counterfactual estimates.

6. See the methodology appendix for computational details.

7. Other studies�see California State World Trade Commission (1996), which finds 47,600 jobs created in California from increased trade with Canada alone�have allocated all employment effects to the home state of the exporting company. This is problematic, because the production�along with any attendant job effects�need not have taken place in the exporter's state. If a California dealer buys cars from Chrysler and sells them to China, these studies will find job creation in California. However, the cars are not made in California; so the employment effects should instead be attributed to Michigan and other state with high levels of auto industry production. Likewise, if the same firm buys auto parts from China, the loss of employment will occur in auto-industry states, not in California.

8. Industry-specific producer price indices are unavailable for certain industries between 2005 and 2006. In order to construct price deflators for all 200 BLS industries, we used a combination of commodity PPIs and industry PPIs. For instance, NAICS-based industry 3331 (which maps to BLS industry 72) is composed of agricultural, manufacturing, and mining machinery manufacturing. To compute a price index for this industry, a trade-weighted average of the commodity indices for agricultural machinery and construction machinery was used as a proxy for the industry PPI. Industry PPIs were used wherever available.

Outsourcing Not the Culprit in Manufacturing Job Loss

Wes Iversen

Reprinted from:Automation World

Productivity gains spawned by factory automation are driving a worldwide decline in manufacturing jobs, even in developing nations, says researcher.

For many Americans, the word �outsourcing� conjures up images of manufacturing job decline. But the United States is far from alone in losing manufacturing employment, points out Dan Miklovic (shown above), vice president and research director at GartnerG2, the business research arm of Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. �Recent studies show that manufacturing jobs are declining everywhere,� said Miklovic, during a Nov. 17 panel discussion on outsourcing, part of a Global Media Summit sponsored by Rockwell Automation, Milwaukee.

Over the past decade, U.S. manufacturing jobs have declined by more than 11 percent, Miklovic noted. But at the same time, Japan�s manufacturing employment base has dropped by 16 percent, while the number of manufacturing jobs in countries including Brazil have declined by some 20 percent, he pointed out. �And one of the largest losers of manufacturing jobs has been China,� Miklovic added. �We like to pick on China and say that all of these jobs are going to China, but they�re losing jobs in manufacturing as well.�

The reason for the job losses? Miklovic summed it up in one word: automation. Through automation, he said, �we are really doing a good job of improving the productivity of people.�

Miklovic reminded media attendees at the panel session that 25 percent to 30 percent of the U.S. population was at one time involved in agricultural jobs. But today, only 3 percent of Americans work in agriculture, yet they have turned the United States into a net agricultural exporter, he noted. �The same thing is now happening in manufacturing,� Miklovic said. �Through automation, through improved productivity, we�re driving the number of jobs down on a global basis.�

Job loss in India

Confirmation came from another panel participant, K. Muralidharan, senior general manager for Sundram Fasteners Ltd., a major Indian automotive parts manufacturer. In India, he said, growing use of automation is holding down manufacturing job growth despite the large amount of outsourcing work that is flowing to the country. �I find that outsourcing in India has actually cost jobs in Indian industry, though in the long term, it will probably have a positive effect on employment,� Muralidharan said.

Manufacturing employment remains at about the same level in India today as it was during the recession of the late 1990s, according to Muralidharan. �The Indian economy is booming now, and it is predicted that in the next five years, the curve will only be upward. But still, the jobs and employment are not really growing at the same pace,� said Muralidharan. �The economies of scale that have been created due to outsourcing from developed countries have forced Indian industry to take on automation heavily, which was not the case about 10 years back,� he said.

GartnerG2�s Miklovic noted that the use of automation contributes to a cyclical situation in many industries. When a U.S. manufacturer develops a new product, for example, the company has first-mover advantage for a time. But in the next phase, when other manufacturers enter the market, competition often shifts to price. In response, some U.S. producers may move manufacturing offshore to developing nations, to take advantage of lower labor costs. However, said Miklovic, they frequently find that the level of automation and technology available in developing nations is less than that of the United States.

This means that U.S. manufacturers who then invest in sophisticated automation technology at home can gain the upper hand for a time over lower-priced imports, thanks to the higher quality product allowed by the automation, said Miklovic. But the automation technology used in the developing nations eventually catches up, giving products produced there the advantage, he added.

�We see this in semiconductors all the time,� Miklovic said. �Semiconductors typically have been produced in Japan and Taiwan. But now there is a booming semiconductor market that�s starting in China.� While the density and sophistication of semiconductor chips produced in China cannot yet match that of Japan and Taiwan, said Miklovic, China�s technology is moving in that direction.

�Automation only works for a period of time,� said Miklovic. The lesson for manufacturers is that they must continually reinvest in automation and innovation, he said. �If you stand still, ultimately you lose.�

Inetekk a USA company

Inetekk was built in America by Americans!

All programming done by Americans
Sure it cost us more to build the Inetekk technology by ourselves and outsourcing to US programmers and US software developers. The prospect of sending our work abroad was never a consideration. Primarily doing so we lose the security of proprietary development to another country were we have little if any legal control regardless of how cheap that option could be. Then quality and communications is another factor, but we are also sensitive to doing business within our culture because of the process of getting what we are looking for and having the ability to have laws in effect that protect our interest in getting just what we are paying for.

Customer support by Americans
We are constantly getting offers to do our work at deep discounts by these foreign nationals, primarily India, but we are not cheap price motivated. Even our support service is run by Americans in America. We may ad to our support from Australia, but that is because they can offer the needed time frame for that region, not a cost consideration, so we can offer 24/7 seamless support for our clientele. Plus we have many Australian and New Zealander subscribers using our services and we love their accents.

Collocation in San Jose, CA USA
When we first started building the Inetekk systems, we went from a shared server in Florida to needing our own servers. We could have co located our servers in a foreign company for 1/3rd the cost but we realized by doing so our proprietary technology and secured databases would be at risk. Not a good idea. So we contracted with a well know company in San Jose. This was expensive but a very good decision. As the Internet has grown, the necessity to keep your data well secured is of the utmost importance and again, keeping this service local has proved to be a very good decision.

Servers built in USA
As we started building our server farm, again quality and service were the key issue. We went to a local shop in San Diego and hired them to build them. The first server, unaware to us, was built from foreign parts and within weeks the server started having failure issues. From then on we have demanded that all parts be US made as best we could and we have never had issues since. Our farm now runs with US made servers like NetAps, Intel, etc.

IT services by Americans
As with any server farm and web systems, having good IT professional's is imperative, and again, we hired US IT database engineers and server engineers. Same reason as our security is key and far more important than cost. For example, to use foreign IT services cost around $10 per hour. US costs are around $150 per hour. In my humble opinion, you get what you pay for.

The bottom line is future forecasting. I subscribe to the belief that our customers deserve the very best. Not only in the quality of the service, or the best customer support, but also security and the dedication to keep Inetekk around for the long run delivering the very best.

It seems the the big corporations in the US have lost sight to this fact and are all heading for serious issues as they continue down this road to losing control of their companies to the quest for seeking the lowest prices regardless. Take the Mattel toy company for example. Not long ago all their toys were US built. Today, they have lost major market share because the toys the sell now coming from Red China are toxic and low quality. It is scandalous that our children are getting toys painted with lead paint.

The future is at risk.

Your job is secure if you are your boss

Bill Repp

Reprinted from: commercialappeal.com

Q: I've been out of work for nearly five months, and the prospect of getting a job in my field (mechanical engineering) doesn't look good -- unless I want to move my family across the country. I've always wanted to have my own business, but I'm worried about the comparative lack of job security that goes with it. What's your opinion? I'm over 50 and in good health. -- Deidre N.

A: You have a lot going for you: you've always wanted to have your own business, you're over 50, and you have good health. Security? You don't have it now, and you didn't have it when you got laid off. I don't think there's anything more secure today than working for yourself. Companies will cut any costs they have to just to stay in business, and the popular trend for the past several years has been to cut staff -- fast. And consider this: when you work for someone else -- big company or small -- only a few people -- your boss and one or two more managers -- control your future security. But with your own business, if you lose a few customers, you still have others to back you up. I've always thought that having my own business gives me more security, not less, than I'd have if I worked for someone else.

Another stunning fact of life: at 50, you're more likely to be more successful at hiring yourself than trying to convince someone else to do it. Fortune magazine once ran a cover story: "Finished at Forty," detailing the corporate trend of hiring younger people. As one CEO put it: "Why should I hang on to someone who's over 50? He's tired of the long hours and wants to spend more time with his family. He probably hasn't kept up with the newest technology. I have to pay him $75,000 a year or more, and he argues with me. I can hire someone in his 30's and pay him $35 to $40,000. He'll work 60 to 70 hours a week without complaining, and he won't argue with me. This is a no-brainer."

What Do YOU Want?

My best advice: do what feels right for YOU. When you're motivated and committed to a career you really like, the money and security usually take care of themselves. There's a big difference in putting in 50-60 hours a week into a job you love, and one you just feel so-so about. If you don't look forward to going to work when you get up in the morning, you're in the wrong job. Life is too short to work at a job you don't like.

Think carefully about how you want to spend one-third to half of the rest of your life (your waking hours). It you really think it's time to have your own business, then write your answers to these questions. They'll also form the foundation for a good business plan -- an absolute must if you want to succeed.

How would you describe your business (name, location, product/service?)

How would you describe your total target market -- the customers who will be willing to pay you for your products/services?

What industry, local, or consumer trends or needs will you react to?

How would you analyze, and then describe your competition (how many; current prices; their strengths/weaknesses)?

What are your marketing and business goals?

What are your first-year growth problems -- and how will you solve them?

What finances will you need to start the business and keep it going until it can stand on its own? How will you get them?

What's your operating plan for the next five years? (At least half of the new businesses started each year fail within the first 12 months. You must plan for a long-term business.)

What's your management plan to control and develop your basic operation/service?

What equipment, inventory, labor, space, overhead do you need?

Talk to Your Banker

Once your business plan is ready, prepare your personal financial statement (all your assets and liabilities). Next. prepare a projected balance sheet and profit and loss statement for your business -- at least for the first year. Then it's time to meet with your banker.

A good banker can advise you on the likelihood of your succeeding in getting a loan. He or she can point you in the right direction to get additional information. An excellent source for learning about starting your own business is on-line: Search for "sba.gov" and you'll discover a site that has all you need to know to write your business plan and finance your business. You'll even have models of nearly 100 business plans to study and benefit from. The rest is up to you -- and your energy and commitment.

For the keywords free premium email leads I have the first 5 returns and the 10 return on page 1 of Google. I am anxious to see what this will start doing for me. This really is working!

Lonny Heiner

I am amazed at finding my website at the top of the list in Google. Try keywords "premium leads verified" to find my press release and my PremiumLeads.biz website. I also use the Veretekk SEO training to get my wife's website at the top for the key words "art and fine craft front range". Her website is Rosahnda.ws I thnk Veretekk is the best in teaching SEO and I do not find anyone else doing it. Other website builders give me the feeling that it is "optional" and they do not tell you where to get the training. Score a big one for Veretekk!

Veretekk Internet Marketing At Its Best

Today I had a pleasant surprised whilst researching for an article on the importance of personal branding to improve SEO results. I discovered that as a result in putting into practise what is preached by the trainers in Veretekk and by use of the Veretekk Search Engine Marketing Portals it is possible to get prominent positions in Google.

I was a Silver Veretekk member for two years before I discovered the power that lies within the Veretekk Marketing System. It is not an easy system to understand but with the expert help of trainers such as Butch Hamilton and Leo Silvestri, I began a journey which is leading me on the road to my goals.

My business is growing with out having to send out emails, surf for hours, join traffic exchanges and safe lists. My sites are taking on a life of their own and people are contacting me, and as this success is growing, I am able to pass on what I am learning to others and it is most rewarding.

I still have much to learn in this ever changing Internet world but can honestly say there is nothing to match the Veretekk Marketing System

There are more, a lot more, but you get the picture.
